is THE TECH" TOO srRIcr7

Now comes the steady-going and
eyer-reliable Macon Telegraph with
the criticism that the discipline of the
"Tech" is "over-strict, and should
be somewhat relaxed.
And what does Parson Broughton
think of that?
The criticism of The Telegraph is
thoroughly friendly and is highly
eulogistic of the merits.of Georgia's
great school. But the Telegraph is a
latitudinarian, and the free and occas-
ionally festive spirit of its editor
pants for liberty The outspoken Pen
dleton denominates the attack OF the
preacher as ga slanderous trade and
fears that it will tighten the lines of a
discipline already severe.
Well, it is strange how two men,
looking at the same object, will see it
in such widely differing ways.
The criticism of The Telegraph is of
a nature to increase the popularity of
the chronological School. Whether it
is justified or not, we do not know. 1t
has never come to these ears that the
'"Tech' was severe or represive, and
we should doubtless have heard it,
if it were true.
But if it were even so, it would add
to the already splendid prestige of the
school. There are few parents in Geor-
gia who could not be attracted rather
than repealed by the rumor of rigid
discipline for their sons at school. The
age is free enough, heaven knows, and
more to the end of license. No disci-
pline short of cruelty could be less
wholesome and desirable for the young
men who are going out into world
where, in many senses, every man is q
law unto himself. For every touch OF
the ''strong hand" in the schools there
will be the tempered steel in the bat
tie of life. There need be no fear OF
repression. The reaction will come
swift and strong enough, and when by
discipline the current is made in the
youthful mind, it only needs the after
liberty to give it power. Too much
liberty is an overflow, and an over
flow is a mere waste of water.
The Telegraph's friendly criticism
adds new laurel to the ''Tech, and
we are sure that of this Editor Pendle-
ton will not be sorry.
If the discipline of West Point could
be added to the school, it would add a
finishing and comprehensive reason
for its enthusiastic support by the peo-
pie of Georgia Atlanta News.

C. D. Corbin Seriously Stabbed.

a serious and perhaps fatal cutting
affray occurred last Saturday afternoon,
18th instant, in Whitewater Township,
about twenty miles from Walhalla, in
which G. D. Corbin was stabbed several
times by Elisha Alexander. Only one
wound, however, is serious, but compli-
cations may arise in connection with it
that may prove fatal. This wound is
deep one, penetrating the pleural cavity
and injuring the left lung. His physi-
clan, DR.. James III. Crawford, fears
pneumonia or other complications in
connection with this wound, in which
case it will prove serious and probably
fatal. No particulars of the difficulty,
leading up to the unfortunate affair,
can be obtained, but it is said there
has been bad feeling existing be-
tween the two men for some time.
Mr.. Corbin was on his way from home
to his pasture, carrying q sack of salt
for his cattle. On the way he met Alex
ander and the cutting occurred near
the crossing on Howard's creek, on the
new Sapphire road. Alexander has not
been seen since the trouble, and it is
lima or is in hiding in the mountains.
Sheriff b. r. Moss made a thorough
search for him, but failed to gain any
clue AZ to his whereabouts. After his
return to Walhalla, Sheriff Moss received
word Tuesday from relatives of Alexan-
der that he is at the home of his uncle
in North Carolina and will be brought in
and surrendered to the authorities here.
The affair is deeply regretted. Both
families are quite prominent in their
section.

chlldren's Day at conneross.

Children's Day at Conneross Baptist
church on last Sunday was grand sue
cess in every particular. An immense
crowd assembled to witness the beauti-
full exercises and excellent rescitatiops
by the young ladies, girls and boys of
this tourishipg Sunday school. The ex-
ercises were opened by the Rev. William
Abbott. Rev. A. P. Marett was master
of ceremonies and bad the entire ar
rangements well in hand. Prof. j. r.
Morton was the leader of the choir and
throughout the whole program furnished
most excellent music. The little boys
and girls, who rendered the exercise,
"God Can Change the Natural Heart"
and the young ladies who gave the reset
tatiOn, "The Cross and the Crown" de-
serve special mention. We have never
seen anything so beautiful and appro.
pirate on Chiliren's Day as this was. An
address was delivered by G. r. d. Burns
on the Importance of religious instruc-
tion of the young A recess for an hour
aud half followed, in which the good
ladies of the community gave a bounti-
ful spread OF all the good things you
could imagine for the nourishment of
the inner man. In the afternoon the
choir furnished more enlivening and rap
turous music and short addresses were
made by Prof. II. p. Boggs, of,,Seneca, and
w. Ii. Loehr and j. r. Earle, when the
benediction was pronounced, and the
large congregation wended it's way home
ward, all having felt that it was good for
them to have been there. May the Chill
dren's Day ever be prominent in the
work of this progressive aud tlourishing
