Comc Back Home, Boys, Come Back, Says Sam Jones. Atlanta Journal. There is an epidemic of runaway boys. Scarcely a day passes but what we read of boys and young men running away from home, and no tidings of their whereabouts come back to parents and loved ones. The great trouble with bovs is the fact they don't think. In the first place, the closer a boy can be and the closer ho lives tinder the shadow of a good moth"-!' the better it is for him. The homo roof is the best covering and shield that a boy can know in this world. The literature of the day is largely responsible for this craze on the part of boys and youug men leave home and wander tip und down tliruugh the earth. suppose no boy baa left a good home, a good mother mid father, but what thoughts of home und friends occur ever uud uuon to liiui. At night lime, wherever be pillows bis head he must think of mother ut home; but he doesn't renlize how mother and father suffer because of the ah sent boy. I hope these lini s may fall tinder the eyes of many wander ing boys, and that if they refuse toi come back to their homes, they will sit down and write to mother ami father, or brother and sister. They need not say where they are, but let their loved ones know they are well and how they are getting along. How many thousand mothers have been made to utter the sad pathetic words: "Where is my wa'idering boy tonight? (io earch for him where you will and bring him to me with ul I his blight and tell bim that I love hi in still." A mother's love ami a father's devotion are us long as all eternity. Broader than this world, and there is no land so distant, no pathway so cold but what a muther's feet would tread that way, a father's weary efforts would lead that way until they come in the presence of the one who wandered off. A good boy can do better at his own home uud in the community where he was raised than he can do anywhere else on earth. A bad boy cau do well nowhere. Latitude and longitude und geographical position does not determine the well doing of fellow. Character ulone settles the question with him. The judge of our circuit court re lated the following incident to me u few days ago. Kight or ten boys were indicted in his court us rail- mad tramps for riding trains, every one of whom were strangers to him and from different towns and states in the union. They were convicted und he sentenced them simply to pay the cost or to three months' ini prisoiimenl. None of them could pay their line and all weut to the ehaingang. Some of them have broken down in their prisou life and have written to their parents at home of their condition und their parents sent the money to pay their lines and bring them home. One of them, a son of a poor widow, who eurned the money to pay her boy's fine ut the wash tub One of those boys lived in the state of Tennessee, one in the city of Atlanta, of a re- peztable family, another one in North Carolina. The others are still in the ehaingang, some of them, perhaps, have no parents to whom they cun writo or friend who will come to their relief, und others per haps arc too stubborn and proud to let their condition be known at home. This is only one of many instances where courts are compelled to punish the wandering boys. 1 noticed that the police of Atlanta took np a young Arkansas boy the other duy and the little fellow broke down and told his history und the family to which he belonged and his parents were notified of his whereabouts. There is no more commendable work in cities by de tective and policemen than the ar rest and detention of strange boys, and they ought to give themselves more diligently to the work of find ing ent the name -and the home' of every strango boy in every city. Lock him up ttntil he gives his identity. In this way they may save uiauy a boy io his homo and his mother and save him from wreck and ruin. Oarteraville, like other towns, has been contributing to the number who have wandered off. If a Curtcrsville boy who is away from home ahull read these words let him instantly tit down and write and tell the loved ones at home how he is, and how he it getting along. Ho many of these wandering boys are killed by train and other accidents and may be the . loved "one never hear of where or how they went. If J , ... , l make mother and love! one nffer,l iff ami lioei ji'iifl it is tfcpive ho tidings of thellivca'to tliot who are atix- ious aiiif -wjho ure all the time think ing of thrih by day ami dreaming of them by liijght. There is scarcely an act that entails go much pfmishinent upon" the inno. cen' us thewme ot running away from home on the part of the boys und young men. When a boy leaves home und wanders off tfie mother goes to bed aiilt suffers. Tho father is troubled and worried he is scarcely fitted for the business of his life. The vacant chair ut mo-table, the pillow on wWli no head restud the night before, his chair in the sitting room, his voice heard no more a thousand things remind the loved otU'S of the absent one. I Miy again, como home boys, come home, but if yon will not como home, sit down and write father und mother und tell them how it goes with you, whether you tell where you ure or not. These w:ird, miserable novels, whether high-class or low-class novels, furnish the incentive and motive for limny a boy to leave home mil the company he gets in when he is once vone is xiteh that he soon falls iu with their ways and goes to the bud before he scarcely realizes at all what be has done. I heard a fel low talking tile other day how he iiml his y'Miug brother ran away from home bteaiise their father whipped them; how they spent one night away and the net day went back home. They were only gone a little over tiventy-four hours but la said when he got back he found his nr'ther in bed sick and he said 1 be lieve if we had staid a week mother would have been dead w hen we got home, lie said: "etvero not at home an hour before mother was up and rejoicing over the fact that her boys had come back." What must be the suffering of u home where a boy has been gone a mouth or a year und sent no tidings back. Honor thy father and thy mother, boys, and thy days shall be long upon the land which the Lord, thy Uod, gi vet J thee. No child can dishonor his parents and do well here or hereafter, Let a boy suffer anything ln-fore he will wound his mother or do dishonor to his father. These infernal novels with their weird lies and con toiled characters have made a fool of many a boy and started him on u tramp to the deul and the dogs. In the State of Mississippi a runa way boy, who was then a young man, came to me and told me that he hail been a runaway for more than live years, that he had never written u line to hia father or mo her, aud asked me did I know his father and mother, telling me the town and county where thev lived. I said: Yes, I know them well." lie said: Will you write to them for me anil see if they will let me come back to see them." I did so, and when he did come buck to his Geargia home there was a regular camp-meeting, picnic and May testival all combined. I cau never forget how eagerly that boy looked into my face when he was asking me about his parents. Five years is too long, bojs, to keep tiict. Then, mottier may be dead. father buried, und the mischief you have done can never bo undone. Come back, now, boys or write im mediately. God alone cuu measure the depth aud breadth of a parent's love for u wandeiing child, I would that every boy who has run away from his home could realize how deeply he has wounded and how fear fully ho has lacerated the heart and feelings of those who loved him best. I would that every editor of every paper in tho United States would catch up this refrain and write on the subject of the sacred duty of runaway boys to come or to write, back to their parents at home. You could serve ) our country uo belter, gentlemen, than to sound the bugle blast down the line so that every wandering boy could hear or read your wot dffh; prodjgul. fcoy in bygone years came to himself and Immediately .he started for horn.

According to the facts accepted by the jury there wuj no one in the store at the time of the tragedy but Burns and the man who was slain Burns stales in his own behalf, how ever, that there was a third person whom he can designate only as the unknown. This person, the store keeper declares, entered while the negro was bat gaining, and he, Burns, left Mitchell to wait upon liiui. The negro thereupon became angry and began to grumble because Burns had left him to attend to the wants of the white man. On this thel stran ger then, according to the store keeper's statement, drew his gun, and the Hash and report were fol lowed by the fall of the negro bathed in blood and dying. The unknown then disappeared. As indicated, the jury discredited this story, uud tendered the verdict as slated above. liowan l.urky, colored, killed his wife in ltowan county last week while drunk.

One of the most iiiii restin? discussions of the week in the Senate was that engaged in ou Wednesday and Friday over the bill to enable married ivoiren to make contracts. The first day's argument resulted in a drawn buttle, with honors easy. The bill was defeated on that duy by a ole of i'.i to 21, but in less than an hour a million to reconsider was adopted by the vote of 21 to 1!J, uud the bill set. fur Friday at noon. One-third of the supporters of the measure chunked their minds within the two-days' interim mul the bill (w hich a senator privately character ized as an ut tempt to compel w omen to wear pants) was defeated by the vote 23 to M, It was a rich treat to hear some of the speeches on this epicstion and I he .Senate galleries were til Jed with the women, who grueeil the occasion tvith their presence. Speaking of i-peeches, one of the most earnest and beautiful flights of iratory that bus resounded through tho historic hall of the House in many days was Hie masterly speech of Cameron Jlorrison, of Rocking ham, on the question of giving Rich mond county prohibition. Whatever a man's honest convic tions may be on the subject under liscussion, the red blood of life tingled in his veins as he listened to Mr Morrison. A gentleman present, who dis agreed with the position of the speaker, said to me: It was one of the linest things 1 ever listened to." The voice as much as the language thrilled the listeuer. Who that heard it w ill ever foiget the eloquent, tuneful challenge: "Come to the scratch, gentlemen." Daring the week the Senate luiss- d the bill increasing the salary of the Supreme and Superior Court judges to 3,500 per annum, the inu- jorily being one, three Senators not iicinjr present. There has followed onsidcrsiMe criticism, and much can said pro and con. lint it does em that North Carolina can all'ord to decently compensate the splendid men who she has elevated to the bench and surely $;l,5i0ia none tto much.
