THE APPOINTMENT OF CAPT. TUR-
NER.

Gov. Terrelrs appointment Of Hon.
Henry G. Turner to the Supreme
Bench of the state meets with the
heartiest approval Of the people. Mr..
Justice Turner Is a man who. in the
fullest degree. enjoys the respect and
esteem of the public. He has been
tried in public life, in high places, and
never found wanting. AS a member of
Congress from the Eleventh district
he took rank with the foremost of the
nations lawmakers, and throughout
the country was regarded rs an emil
nently safe leader of public opinion.
During the time of his service on the
Ways and Means Committee of the
national House he was looked upon as
one of the Democracy's experts on the
tariff question, and there is probably
no man in the country who is better
informed with respect to the tariff than
he. To the Supreme Bench Justice
Turner brings more than ordinary abil-
ity, ripe scholarship, a calm and judi
cious temperament and the experience
of many years in public life. 1t was
inadvertently stated in the Morning
News sketch of Justice Turner's ca
reer in yesterdays paper, that he was
born in 1S29-an error of ten years.
The justice is now in the sixty-fourth
years of his age a period of life when.
as in the case of Justice Turner, a
strong and vigorous man is prepared
fcrh on
We congratulate Gov Terrell and
Georgia upon Henry G. Turner's selee-
ton and acceptance.

A daily newspaper for women is
shortly to be started in New York. 1t
will make specialues of fashions, So
ciety news and the servant problem.
But are not the newspapers already
established doing that? They pay
much more attention to women, as a
matter OF fact, than they do to men.
There is no mems department" in the
newspaper; the men are supposed to
take things as they find them. The
news of the day is published for the
benefit of all persons, without consid-
GRAFTON Of sex, race or previous con-
dition." The friendship and patronage
of women is essential to the success
of almost every newspaper. They must
read the papers, and especially the ad-
vertisements, or profits will immedi-
ately fall off to the disappearing point.
1t may be that the "woman's paper"
in New York will be a success. but
we cannot see the need for it. Mean
while it is risking nothing to say that
women will go right ahead reading and
patronizlng the old-line newspapers.

Appendicitis is said to nave become
alarmingly prevalent in England since
King Edward suffered from it some
months ago. 1t is spoken of as the
fashionable disease" and about all
classes of society suffer from it. The
Lancet, commenting on the prevalence
of the complaint, says that possibly
the practice of freezing meats, game,
etc, has much to do with it, since
frozen foods are VIGOROUSLY prone to
rapid decomposition when removed
from cold storage. and also that they
degenerate more rapidly after cooking
than unfrozen articles.

THE REPUBLICS RED HEART.

One man says that the heart Of the
nation is at the great capitol building
at Washington. another that 1t Is In
Wall street. another that it lies in the
Mississippi valley, with its marvellous
agriculture; another that its pulsations
ca be most clearly discerned on the
board of trade in Chicago, another that
II is found in our great educational in
situations. Each opinion is in way
justified perhaps; but, gracefully con-
ceding the merit of each claim. we still
think that this most vital organ may
be best observed in a nighttride from
closed a Dantean panorama the like Of
which can be seen nowhere else on
earth What the stocking rooms are to
the ocean greyhound-the place where
all the power and force are generated
to carry forward the magnificent ship
to her destination, alike Indifferent to
wind or wave-is the weird and Titan
&c vision disclosed by the iron and coal
industries of Pittsburg and vicinity to
the country's splendid progress The
miles of coke ovens aglow in the mid
night, fires which, like the altar flame
of heather sacrifice, never go out; blast
furnaces by the score belching forth
their lurid flames heavenward, the
blue and green sulphurous fires illumi-
mating the landscape in a most un-
earthly manner; the great rolling mills
where human demons seize and
straighten the white hot rails, for
twenty miles a roar, din and glaring
inferno where coal and coke and ore
and electricity work night and day
celebrating the power and facilities for
all the progress of the republic-here is
great red heart of the nation Mufde
these coke ovens, shut down these blast
| furnaces. close these rolling mills, let
normal darkness once more brood

MANS BEST FRIEND.

We are asked how it is that bolt
of electricity will do such wonderful
and extraordinary things in such an
infinitesima period of time-tear a
tree to slivers, make a wreck of
building, melt iron and copper and all
the long list of seemingly impossible
things which we know that 1t does.
The wisest men are puzzled as to this
natural force. While in almost univer-
sal use as the tractable servant Of
man. no man yet knows what it is. 1t
is said that the bolt which falls from
the summer cloud exercises for frac-
ton of time so brief that ordinary fig
ures can give ii no expression power
equal to that of 100000 horses, which
will give some explanation of the re-
markable work which IT does. This
subtle, unknown and unknowable ele-
ment which riffs the summer cloud
and Eliminates hemisphere with its
wild riotous, untamed manifestations
is being surely conquered and made
the obedient and useful servant Of
man. Already it Is made TO cook a
record messages by dive under great
oceans and over vast continents and

THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG WAY.


There Is rare secret connected with
the making of work-cOmmOn, every
day hard work-a pleasure instead Of a
burden. So much of the work Of life
is done in the wrong way, in the hard
est way, and so becomes OF necessity
a burden. Indifference to or lack Of
the knowledge Of the right and best
way to do things is largely what fills
the earth with walls over the tyranny
of labor To illustrate, a man under
takes to NOW grass with dull scythe;
he tries to pillow his field with pillow
which will not scour; he tries to work
too many acres; he milks his cows in
a filthy yard or barn; he neglects to oil
up and runs with hot boxes the year
round There is no sort Of sense in do
ing these things this way. 1t is the
wrong, the burdensome, way and no
man living can take any pleasure in
his work so done This is the reason
why some people can accomplish so
much more and do so much better
work than others. They have found out
the difference between the right and
the wrong way of doing work.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

AS population increases in country
the farmer is compelled to adopt a
more intensive method Of cultivating
his land High priced land means
fewer acres for each man, and fewer
acres mean better work on them and
more and better crops. In Belgium.
France, Germany and to still greater
degree in China and Japan the small
farm and intensive agriculture may be
seen at their best Under this system
more than one crop is and must be
raised in crop season; there are no
