The sad news that James Whitcomb
Riley had answered the summons Of

things which man loved. He seemed
to touch the quickening chord which

He was cheerful, loving and sunny, al
ways mindful of the best and cleanest
Of life.

poem widely read, and beautifully
expressive of Riley's tenderness. 1t IS:

The Sale of The State Road Has

The four candidates for governor may

for the governorship, but they certain
lv are of one accord on the PROPOSE

of ascertaining through investigation

A sketch of proposed extension Of
the Western and Atlantic to the sea in

picture which is well worth studying.
This map shows the route contemplate
ed in a bill introduced by Representa-

directly from Atlanta to Savannah, be-
ing 235 miles in length, as against the
Central of Georgia Railway which is
294.5 miles, and the Southern Railway
to Brunswick which is 274.5 miles.
Jasper county has Monticello for the
county site. and glance at the map
shows that the new road passes
through Monticello. Further than that,
it traverses Baldwin county, the home
Of Candidate Pottle, of Milledgeville.
Passing further, it avoids Macon by

by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or

water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the

Candidate Hardman without any dt-
rect connection on the physical line Of
the extension as he resides at Com
merce, in north middle Georgia.
The greatest sentiment in favor of
the sale of the w. & A. has developed
along the line of the present roai
from Atlanta to Chattanooga. 1t is in
these counties where the W. & A
passes through that no taxes are paid
for the privilege-it is exempt. Next
in strength of sentiment in favor of the
sale comes southwest Georgia, and this
section is selfish to the extent that she
must assist in paying the price for the
frightening of the road, but does not
derive single beneficial result. With
Macon as the northeast corner Of
southwest Georgia-the nearest point
for the extension is Milledgeville.
Undoubtedly the W. & A. road is the
foundation Of a rock-ribbed credit
which the state boasts proudly. 1t is
well that we have this credit. But,
certainly the state of Georgia cannot
longer continue to foster her omnipo-
tent self at the price of according the
special privilege of running railroad
through this section, to the exclusion
of private individual
If Georgia must stay in the railroad
business, then why shouldn't she enter
the trade for better or for worse"
According to the audit of the state CT
Georgia, made by the public account
ant Charles James Metz, the w. & A.
is valued at $2O,OO0,00O The leass
money accruing to the state each year
is $420,012,0O0. This is fraction more
than per cent. for Georgia's great
Investment. Is there a business man
in Georgia today who would tie up
$20000,00O.0O and only secure per
cent. in return?

EXPERIMENT WITH CRIMINALS.

In this day and time when reform
IDEAS are rampant, and especially
prison reform, anything pertaining to
this subject is read with interest.
No experiment along this line in re
cent years has been watched with as
much interest as will be that to be
made at Sing Sing prison in New
York. And none have been made that
promises as tangible results in pencil
cgy as does this.
Thomas Mott Osborne has been re
ipstated as warden of this prison. and
it is through and by him that these
experiments in prison reform will be
made
Mr.. Osborne proposes to resume the
system adopted by him during his for
mer administration as warden, that oI
self-goyernment among criminals. He
begins his work over again with tie
full approval of the state authorities
He also has the authority to establish
"a clinic of crime, which movement Il

endorsed by the leading criminologists
o. the country, besides he has the
financial support of many of the lead :
in philanthropists of the country.
The experiments to be made are to
be on a most elaborate scale, greater
than has ever been tried by any penal
institution since John Howard arous-
ed the conscience of the world to the
pitiable condition of the prisoners at
that time.
The plan provides for an examina-
ton of all prisoners when they enter
tire prison by experts as to their men
tai condition. The history of each
family and person is to be ascertained
as far as possible The mental atti-
tude of each is to be carefully studied
They will also undergo a careful and
scrutinizing physical examination, and
their mental condition will be studied
in conjunction, or rather comparison
with their physical condition. Their
eXtravagances and general habits will
be followed very closely while under
observation by the experts.
That these examinations and expert
ments will prove of scientific value
goes without the saying. But Mr.. Os-
borne is interested in the matter more
than the interested scientist. He is
III search of the truth for the
truths sake, and this being
the case, those who have made
a study of the question are of the opin-
ion that great and beneficial results
are bound to accrue.
1t is the further plan of Mr.. Osborne
tc segregate the convicts in conform
ity with the results of the examina-
tons. Convicts with sub-normal or
abnormal mentality will be treated or
handled differently from those who be-
come criminals from accident or on
vironment.
1t is proposed to separate the incor-
rlgible from those not given to causing
trouble. 1t has already been found in
prison management that this is very
conducive to discipline. But it is
proposed to go even further than this
in this experiment An effort will be
made to discover the scientific cause
for incorrigibility, and a remedy for it,
Still further it is the purpose of MI.
Osborne and his supporters to carry
these experiments beyond the prison
walls. Their careers will be watched
and studied long after they have gone
back into the world of endeavor, and
from which they were sent as GRIM
mails.
The world will watch these expert
ments with more than passing inter-
est.

HONOR THE OLD VETERANS.

Just about thirty days remain
before the United Confederate Veter-
ans are to be with us.
Are we ready for them? If not we
should get ready, and at once.
The old soldiers deserve the best
there is. In the sixties they gave the
best there was in them for the lost
but noble cause. And now, although
fifty years have rolled away since those
memorable days, there is nothing too
good for them.
When the call sounded, men that
they were they rallied to the grand and
glorious cause Of country, home and
loved ones, creating page in history,
the equal of which the world had never
known.
Many are the times these old Vet
Grams have been entertained, and that
royalty, by other cities. 1t is now up
to Americas to do what other cities
have done, and just as well or better
than they. Will she do it? Time alone
will tell, but we believe she WILL We
have the utmost confidence in the pa
triotism of our Americas people, and
in their love for the lost cause.
The Sons of Veterans and the
Daughters of the Confederacy are de-
ing all in their power, but they can't
do it all. That these old battle-scar-
red veterans may be entertained and
cared for as they should be it is abso-
lutely necessary that the business men
and citizens of Americus generally
tome to the support of these organiza-
tions, and that in a very material way
The various committees having in
charge the arrangements for this gath
ering of old soldiers are to meet this
afternoon at the rooms of the Cham
her of Commerce for the purpose of
devising ways and means for meeting
tie expenses of the occasion. Every
body in Americas is asked to hold
themselves in readiness to aid in this
laudable purpose, and that as liberal
II as possible.
You have, most of you, at least, your
vacation; each year you go away-you
attend conventions-have a good tine
and you are the better and happier for
having done so. So it is with the old
Confederate soldier. This is their va
cation. In many cases it is the only
delight they have. At these gatherings
they meet their old comrades and live
over again those days that tried mel S
souls, renew old friendships, and re-
tern to their homes with renewed hope
aid inspiration for the duties that are
still before them
Only few years more and the ola
Confederate veteran will live only as a
memory. Just few more years anu
they will have all passed into that
great beyond. 1t therefore behooves

lie, never letting an opportunity go by
tc do honor and pay tribute to the
noblest and bravest body of men that
ever barred their breasts to the leaden

that was right and just.
Americas has heart, her people ave
loving and true, the fire of patriotism
lives and burns in their breasts, they
revere the cause for which these men
fought.
Americas always does her duty and
she is going to do it now.
