A man who wanted a new house
built might have all the work done
by women, for the report shows that
besides the 100 architects, who come
more properly under the 'profes-
sions," there are $50 women build
ers and contractors in the United
States, 1877 women masons, 545 wo-
men carpenters, as women plaster
ers, 1,759 women painters, GLACIERS
and varnishers; 1876 women plumb
ers, 241 women paperhangers and 2
women skaters and roofers. 1t is not
unusual in the middle west and the
Pacific coast states to meet with the
actual performance of these mechani-
cal lines of work by women.
Last weeks News told of a lady
machinist in Calhoun county who
helps her husband in his machine
shop, and we have since been told of
a lady in Terrell county who helps
her husband in his repair shop by
painting buggies, mending broken
parts, and doing other work of this
kind.

Governor Brown and "The
Cheap Hosannas of the Claque'
From the Al bany Herald.

The Atlanta Journal is not pleased
with the praise that is being so gen
erously bestowed upon Governor
for his refusal, in two notable cases
coming close together recently, to ex-
ercise the pardoning power of the
executive. The Journal characterizes
the praise that is being given to the
governor as the cheap hosannas of
the claque," and says:
Political clap-trap was never eX-
hibited in more transparent or dis
gushing form than in the recent eff
fort which has been made to magnify
one or two instances of executive
duty into an epochmaking redemp-
ton of the state from class influence
over the pardOning power.
The Journal appears to have over
looked the real significance of the
action of the governor in the two
cases referred to-that it, the moral
influence and respect for the majesty
of the law which Governor Brown,
taking advantage of the opportunity
afforded, managed to impress upon
the people of the state at a most
opportune time in the two forceful
state papers that were issued setting
forth the reasons which actuated
him. The reasons were real rea-
sons-reasons that we're so plainly
and fairly stated as to appeal to
the better nature and judgment of
all law-abiding men-all men who
believe that the law should be put
above class or personal influence and
be meted out to rich and poor, high
and low alike.
This writer confesses to have been
one of the many petitioners for the
exercise of clemency or mercy in one
of the cases in question. A pathetic
letter from a sweet-faced and inno-
cent little woman whom we have
known since she was romping
school girl told of her belief in the
innocence of the accused notwith-
standing the weight of circumstan-
tial evidence against him; of how the
hearts of innocent ones near and dear

ARE HAULING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL
The Terrell County Board of Educa-
ton Now Has Three Wagons
Thus Engaged.

twenty-five white schools in the
county opened Monday of this week
for the Fall term, and the negro
schools, also twenty-five in number,
will open on October 25th. The
schools will be open only eight
months the ensuing year instead of
nine, as heretofer, the board having
made the public term one month
shorter.
Last year the county board of ed
ucation employed two wagons at an
expense of $40 a month hauling chill
dren to the school at Yeomans, of
which Mrs. w. H. Gurr is principal,
and so satisfactory was the expert
ment that the wagons are being used
again this term and a petition for
a wagon for the Midway school,
which is in charge of Miss EldOra
Howell, has been granted.
One Of the wagons of the YeOmans
school comes south to near the city
H1lIlS OF Dawson, and the Other goes
a distance of five miles into the
Bridges settlement in the Eleventh
district. The Midway wagon makes
trip every morning northward in
me direction of the Pleasant Hill
community.
Under the rules of the board these
wagons are required to start early
enough every morning to collect the
pupils along their routes and deliver
lnem at school by o'clock. When
school is dismissed in the afternoon
Iney are taken home again. The
Two wagons that we're run for the
Romans school last year hauled an
average of 10 and 20 pupils a day.
A petition is now pending before
inc board of education asking for
wagon to take children in the
southern part of the county to the
HeIod school, the school in the Hope
We'll district having been discon-
Nlued by order of the board.

WHERE SHERIFF MUST RIDE
IF HE HAS NEGRO PRISONER HE
MUST SIT IN NEGRO COACH.
Complaint Was Made Against Central
Railroad by Sheriff Bill Beard
of Clay County.

of Clay County.
Has sheriff in charge of negro
prisoner from whom he cannot sep
arate himself the right to ride in a
passenger coach set apart in accord
ance with the law exclusively for
white passengers?
That is a question which has Just
been decided by the Georgia railroad
commission, and is not only of spe-
cial interest in this section because it
was raised by Sheriff Beard of Clay
county, but in all of Georgia, as the
decision affects the sheriffs Of the
entire state.
He has no such right, according to
the view of the commission. A sher-
if in such circumstances, the commits
sion holds on the ground of 1.-The
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber," must betake himself and his
ebony prisoner to the negro coach.
AS stated above the matter came
before the railroad commission upon
the complaint of Sheriff w. w. Beard
of Clay county, who went with a
negro prisoner securely handcuffed
into the white smoker of a Central
passenger train on his way back to
Fort Gaines. The conductor ordered
the sherin and his charge into the
negro smoker, where they were
obliged to go or get off the train.
Sheriff Beard was indignant and
Inundated by such treatment, and
promptly complained to the commits
sion, and asked for a ruling.
The matter was referred to Special
Attorney Hines, who has just rem
dered his opinion adverse to the Clay
county sheriff, and also to a number
of other Georgia sheriffs whose duty
now and then compels them to go
into otner communities to bring back
fleeing criminals.
The commission, after receiving
the attorneys opinion, passed a for
NAL order in conformity with his
view

The Pleasure of Eating

is a pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power,
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assimi-
late or there's decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If you ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect di-
gestion, and remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is POINDEX-
TIERS TONIC. Results are prompt
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. It overcomes fer
mentation in the stomach, and
strengthens the digestive organs.

A TRAGEDY NEAR HIGHLAND
TWO BROTHERS FOUND DEAD
ON RAILROAD TRACK.

From Their Mother.

Were Strangers in the Community,
and Were Identified by Letter
From Their Mother.
The Seaboard passenger train
which left Americas at 1 o'clock
Thursday morning for Montgomery
found the bodies of two young white
men, brothers, beside the track at a
point near Richland. The men were
lying together, cold in death.
The fireman first saw the dead
bodies on has side of the engine and
reported the fact to the engineer.
They had been seen the night be-
fore in Lumpkin, and left in the di-
rection of the place where they were
found dead.
In the pockets of the men were
found letters, one from the mother
of the boys, written from Pelham,
on the LIST instant and advising them
to be good boys and not do anything
that would bring sorrow to her.
The boys were addressed j. R.
and P. H. Chastain, and the letter
was signed by their mother, Mrs. S.
w. Chastain. Each of the boys had
a steamboat ticket from Columbus
to Eufaula, but they must have left
the boat at Omaha, Ca, and made
their way along the Seaboard Air
Line Railway There was a strong
resemblance between the boys.
One theory is that they were MUIR
dered and their bodies placed upon
the rails in order to make it appear
that they had been run over by the
train. 1t is said that one had been
stabbed and the other shot.
1t is believed by others that they
went to sleep with their heads on the
track and were killed by the train.
The coroner's jury returned YER
dict that they were killed by train
No. 70 from Richland
The corpses were shipped to Och
lochnee, Thomas county, for burial.

Practical Men and Idealists
by REV CHARLES DOLE D. d. Boston
fore University

help take part in the civiIzing of the
race. The teacher must work with
reference To some such thought. Sue
cess follows the realization of the
ideal
And surely such a spirit animates
the good doctors They are actuated
brought the early missionaries out
here. These men, the good doctors,
are thinking not of their fee, but of
what they can do for humanity. And
so it has been with the great states
men and legislators. 1t is a rule that
is recognized for judges. The service
of justice is the service of humanity.
And only one standard for judge has
been tolerated for hundreds of years
he must be above reproach.
And so straight through. 1t is clear
that the men who do things, the archi-
tects and the engineers, must be hon
any other basis. And if it is true for
all other man, 1t must = be true for
business men. Business is a form of
social service The business man is
helping to distribute the worlds
goods, and for this service he de-
serves his reward.
Now, business men and profession
al men who are university bred ought
to be clear in their understanding that
it is the unity of these great elements
that makes human progress The
idealist who dreams wisely is making
the world more ready for practical
progress. For ages the abolition of
slavery was the dream of idealists;
now it is seen clearly that slavery
was economically impossible. The
economic element is the gist of our
present-day liquor PROBLEM. Plato
pointed out that the man of affairs
can not afford to be vicious. The
practical man is bound to consider the
questions of reform because of their
economic bearing.
Tn all ages the men who have
wrought most powerfully for good
have been those who have had the
largest share of idealism. And the
good idealist in times of stress is often
a most efficient man of action.
Finally, most of our colleges start
ed on a religious basis. My own col
lege. Harvard, bears on it's seal the
words, Christie ct Ecclesiae.' Trans
lated in broad terms. this motto may
be read today to mean that Christie
stands for the highest ideal of indi-
vidua1 manhood, joyful efficiency, and
'ecclesiae' for service to the great body
of humanity. The meaning in its
highest form is that today the deve1-
opment of the highest form of indi-
vidual happiness lies in the service of
humanity. No man ever tried to work
out this plan in his life without an in
crease in his efficiency, a better sense
of the significance of the universe and
a lettering of life about him."

 Tn point of service he's the young est man on the force. so I could not doany other way than let him go, said the marshal.
 Officer Henry Hall will remain on the night beat as usual, while Mar shal Stevens and his brother, Ed, will divide up between them as best they can the territory covered by Joiner.
 It was rumored a few days ago that petition was being circulated among the business men protesting to the council against lessening tsse force. Diligent search, however, has failed to locate either the petition or authors thereof.
