No inquest was held over the
young woman killed in Savannah
the other day by a telephone pole,
and considerable comment was
made of it, In answer to these
comments the Savannah Press
published section 1856 of the
criminal code If Georgia, which
reads as follows: "No inquest
shall be held over any dead body,
when the case was violence, or &C .
cident, or act of God, in the pres
ence of witnesses, unless,some per-
son makes affidavit of facts rails
ing a suspicion of foul play, when
all inquest shall be had, but at
the expense of the party making
the affidavit. Upon such inquest,
if it should appear that the death
was caused by violence and foul
play, and the person guilty of the
act is arrested, the person paying
the cost of the inquest shall be
paid by the COUNTY treasurer upon
an order from the Judge of the
superior court of the county. :"
the youbg woman was killed on a
public street in the daytime and
in such manner that foul play
could not possibly have been one,
or suspected.

A STATE REFORNATORY.

The Legislature has before it a
measure looking to the establish
ment of reformatory for youth
full criminals--for boys and girls
under 16 years Of age.
There is no question but that
the State should have such an
institution, says the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun. Every State should
have one or more as the necessity
demands. A reformatorv properly
conducted, can but be productive
of good to those youths who have
by any means been started in a
life of crime, and it is the duty of
the State to provide it. To con-
denim a boy or girl TO associate
with older and more hardened
criminals is che Of the greatest
Wrongs q State can do. In nine
cases out of ten, probably ninety
nine out of a hundred, such con-
domination only tends tc give such
youth a disrespect for law and
hardens him against any future
effort to live an upright, useful
life.
A boy or girl under the age of
Is years, cannot be so much of a
criminal. Their acts are due to
large extent to mischievousness
as rule than a desire to commit
acts of criminality. While they
have conception of what is right
and of what is wrong, they do not
have that discriminating discern
ment possessed by Older heads,
and to punish them as the older
ones. are punished, and that, too,
with the older ones, is not only
doing the boy or girl very great
injustice, but it is working against
the interests of the State, in that
1t is raising up a criminal class to
be turned loose upor the State
sooner or later.
1t Is to the younger people-to
the boys and girls of today-that
the State must look for it's future
men and women. 1t is, therefore,
the duty of the State to protect
them i'll every way possible. 1t is
the duty of the State to save any
aud all, if possible, from a life of
crime, and this can be done in no
way more effectively than by es-
tablishing such an institution as
will keep those who may be crimi-
nally inclined from associating
with hardened criminals and
learning their ways; such as will
lead them into paths of right
doing instead of helping them on
in the downward road.
There is always hope of saving
boys or girls if the work is begun
before they have become set in
their ways, but there is little or
no hope of turning them in the
right road after they have been
made to feel the lash of the law
and have lost their respect for it.
Their main object is, not to OBJ
serve the law, but to evade it.
Save the boys and girls.

a bird will often die from sheer
terror when greatly frightened, and
parrots, emus, and monkeys will some
times faint dead away. There are
many causes of dislike or hate among
animals which are inexplicable to us +;
just as many people have unreasonable
but unconquerable prejudice against
cats, mice, caterpillars or snakes.
Why, for instance, should camels
arouse such disgust in horses? Bears
and other animals are often unheeded
by horses, but even the scent Of a
camel which has passed some time be-
fore is enough to make horses refuse to
be driven near it. Horses will learn
to work in company with elephants
much sooner than with camels,
Even in animals which are nearly
related to each other intense hatred
sometimes exists. Hounds take de-
light in hunting foxes, and when dogs
are used in pursuing and killing
wolves they do it with ferceness and
anger which is never aroused in them
at sight of the deer which they are
running.

Who keep fault-hndin' all their days

And hears the grumblin' that they do
And sees the hopeless way they irown.
Make Him discouraged, too, and blue.
To think the world he made so bright

That people who forgit to fret
Sometimes and smile because they're glad
Things ain, all goin' to the bad
Encourage God to go ahead
And make Improvements here and there
For every hopeful word that's said
I'll bet he makes a mark somewhere,
And if brave hearts don't make him bless
The world and men miss my guess.
