Nixon Waterman. ROADS AND CONVICTS. Atlanta Constitution.! We gather lrom the New York Tiibune that the people of the east a,e in full possession of a 44 prison problem." The information is start ling, for we had supposed that this pr blem and other problems of a like na ure had been settled long ago by tiir superior civilization with which they had conflicted in that section. W'r had supposed that it was only at the South that such problems are vex atious; but it seems that when the lid is lifted off the contents of the skillet ax found to be pretty much of the same in the middle as well as around the edges. Ve were startled a year or two ago to discover that the public roads of the No th were no better than the roads of i'.ie South, and in some parts of the No th even worse. There is now no atte mpt made to conceal the fact that it ne part of the country is in mud the rest is in the mire. If the ad van tag; lies anywhere it lies with such staies as Georgia, where the royal red c'j - makes, in favorable seasons, an ide dly perfect road. H is in connection with the road q n uion that the Tribune adverts to the prison problem, and touches on a 11; . ter in which the whole South is in tci'Sted namely, the employment of coi vict labor so that it will not come ii i i too direct competition with free lab r. The prison problem in New Y k is to make the penal institutions si 1 sustaining without doing injustice tt ee labor, and if this can be done ai c road reform accomplished at the saa i time, the Tribune thinks the pei ile will have occasion for rejoicing. . .nd it is even so. Georgia and oth r Southern States are pestered with a c nvict lease system the heritage of rep ;blicanism and they are troubled w t roads that are a disgrace to civ il z. tion. If the covict system can be util zed so as to improve the roads it is he part of wisdom and states mi iship to devise means to that end. ' he proposition has been discussed e? tt nsively at the South, but it is new to New York apparently. A bill has ju t been introduced in the assembly ol that State which provides for the aj rointment of commissioners who shi!l be authorized to take two-thirds ol the convicts in the prisons and in th' Elmira reformatory, and set them at vork improving the roads. Still otiv:r covicts are to be employed in miking clothes, tools and other things th it will be needed by those who are ergiged on the roads. Another road bill has been intro duced which provides for bonding the st.t ; for $10,000,000 in order to ob ta r a fund for highway improvement; In t the Tiibune is of the opinion that th; time has not come when public se i'iment will demand the passage of su;h a bill. We have long thought that the rem- I edy for the bad roads in Georgia is to be partly found in the convict system. Public sentiment has firmly crystal- . lized against the lease system to indi- j viduals and to corporations, and when th? convicts are thrown back upon the St ire there will be nothing that they can be more profitably put at than the bun ling of permanent roads.

JUDGE JACKSON, OF TENNESSEE. A Democrat and a Good Man Presi dentHarrison Rises Above PartyPar tisanship This Time Republicans Don't Like It, But all Concede That It Is an Excellent Appointment So Far as Fitness and Character Are Concerned. WASHiNGTON,February 2. The pres ident to-day nominated H. E.Jackson, of Tennessee, to be Associate Justice ot the Supreme court ot the United States, vice L. Q. C. Lamar, deceased. Howell Edmunds Jackson is an ex senator and at present judge of the United States court for the district em bracing Tennessee. He is a native and life long resident of Tennessee. He is remembered at the capitol as a man of quiet, unassuming manners, generally well liked and distinguished for fairness and judicial consideration of the questions arising here. Inquiry about the capitol shows that the ap pointment is considered from a judi cial and not a political view as a splendid one. About the supreme court it is said that President Harrison has shown once more a great deal ot judgment in his selection of a man for a place on the bench of the highest tribunal in the land. It is stated that Mr. Jackson has made a good circuit judge and that no doubt is entertained as to his making a good justice. The appointment was a great surprise to the Tennessee delegation in the house. The two Republican members feel sore over the selection of a Democrat and a states rights man, but when asked as to Mr. Jackson's fitness it is consid ered that his character and ability were all that could be desired- The selection is no more pleasing to some Democratic representatives who recall the fact that Judge Jackson was a leader of the " up-school Democrats of Tennessee," an element which made a warm but unsuccessful fight within the party in favor of the payment of the state debt dollar for dollar, sub stantially as demanded by the bond holders. These men said, however, that the new judge was strong, clean and able. Representative Houk, of Tennessee, when asked about the appointment, said: "I think President Harrison has followed his inclinations and has be trayed the Republican party and com mitted a crime against the constitution by appointed a man who by birth and schooling is a states rights Democrat, but within a strict construction of the constitution and the supremacy of the state over the nation. I have nothing to say of Judge Jackson as a man ; he is just, able and humane." Representative Enloe said: " It is an excellent appointment. Judge Jack son is able, industrious, pure in char acter and a good judge. I have never heard his Democracy questioned." Representative Price said : " It is a fine appointment." Senator Dolph does not take kindly to the idea of the president appointing a Democrat to the Supreme Court of the United States. I am a great ad mirer of Mr. Harrison," he said this afternoon, "and I do not like to criti cise his administration. I know Judge Jackson. He is an industrious, pains taking and able judge and will do good service on the Supreme court, but I can't understand or appreciate the reasons which induced his appoint ment. I think there are Republicans upon the bench in the South, the peers of Judge Jackson, and I can not un derstand why a Republican president should have appointed a Democrat to fill a vacancy occurring during his term. It is among the possibilities that before the end of the Cleveland administration the majority of the Su preme Court will be Democratic. Iam under the impression that the presi dent received some bad advice on the subject from some Republican senators. At all events, the great majority of his , party will think he has made a great mistake and he will receive no thanks from the Democrats " The nomination came as a great surprise and was received while the j senate was in executive session. There : will be no comment made on the floor but the Republicans gathered about in little groups and disbussed it. With j the exception of a few, who think the j president should have appointed a Re- j publican, the nomination was well re- J ceived. There will, it is said, be little, if any, opposition to his confirmation. Judge Jackson was born in Paris, Tenn., April S, 1832. In 1S40 he t removed with his parents to Jackson, I Tenn., was graduated at the West Ten- j nessee College in 1 S48, and then passed ! two years in the university of lr- ginia. In 1S56 he was graduated at 1 the Lebanon law school and began practice at Jackson. In 1S59 he re- moved to Memphis and was twice ap- pointed a judge of the state supreme court. He returned to Jackson in 1S76 and wts elected a representative in the legislature in lSSo. He was elected United States senator from Tennessee for the term beginning March 4th, 1SS1, but resigned in 18S6, and in March ot that year was ap- pointed by President Cleveland United States district judge tor the western district ol Tennessee.

J The successful farmer produces everything consumed on the farm. This can be proved by the past record of our State and county. Forty years ago our farmers raised all the bacon used in our State and meat for the market ; also, all the flour, corn, oats and everything consumed at home and to sell. So when they sold their cot ton it was a surplus and the money loaned to the merchants. But our country has gone through a revolu tion. Our farmers have tried to keep their meat houses and flouring mills in the Northwest, and their fertilizer is all brought from the phosphate beds of the coast, at a big cost, in place ot making manure at home costing comparatively nothing, and worth twice or three times as much These are all facts worthy of note and all of our farmers admit it. This is the time of year for our farmers to supply themselves with pigs to make meat for another year, as it will pay any farmer to raise his own meat at any price, and especially at the present price. Bacon is worth I2ic., to 15c. who can stand that price? It is best to raise our own meat. This is a grass-growing coun try. Seed time will soon be on hand, and now is the time to supply your selves with seeds. Red clover will pay a better dividend than cotton, yet you find numbers of our farmers who have not got an acre in clover, when they should have five acres to the horse. Any farmer can prepare and sow trom two to five acres each season, both fall and spring. I think cotton land the best for clover, as the weed and grass are not so apt to impede the young clover. Prepare your land well and manure liberally, and sow in rust proof oats in March, and sow your clover 15 pounds to the acre last and brush in lightly. Success in clover culture is to prepare the land well be fore sowing, and with a good season after the spring freezes are over you may expect a good stand. Clover hay is always in demand on our market at 75c. per hundred. And a good crop on good land would amount to three tons per acre, and will cost less in harvesting than any other known crop and always in demand. So I think our farmers had better give a thought to these tacts, and change our tactics and see if we can't change the outlook somewhat. We can't lose anything by experimenting on this line. I have tried it and know it to be correct. Let us hear from our brother farmers on farming and stock raising. THE ECONOMY OF ROADS. GOOD 1 Wilmington .Star. J There is not a State in all this Union that does not take more or less interest in railroads and give them more or less encouragement, while there is not a State in the Union that takes half as much interest in country roads or pay the attention to them that it should. There is not a State in the Union, as far as we know, that J has a road system at all, or anything that might be called a road system. We are told that the Stale of Vir ginia had, before the days of railroads, some of the best public highways in this country, and that they wound through the mountains in such a way, by such excellent grades, that a person riding in the stage coaches of those days would scarcely realize that he was ascending or descending a moun tain. We have travelled over some of those same roads since, and saw but few traceof the fine engineering skill that made those mountain roads the admiration ot the traveller. If we had ne er had any railroads we would douutless by this time have a fine system of turnpikes, at least in the older States, lor their necessity would have been recosnized: but the rajiroacjs have so overshadowed the " dirt" road that it has been almost forgotten by the States and been lett to the counties and townships to be patched up and kept in shape the best lhey can vvhich iacks very jittle of being Hs bad as possible, There is not a leading nation in Europe that hasn't roads that should make this country ashamed ot itself, roads that a pair of stout dogs will pull a heavier load over than a pair of horses would over the average Ameri- can road much of the year. It would Lie hardly fair to institute a coparison titween this country and the leading countries of Europe and expect to have as good roads here as they have there, because their roads are the work of ages and they are simply keeping up systems some ot which were established centuries ago. This is true, but there the Government looks after the roads as a matter of public economy while our Govern ments do not, but let the roads take care of themselves. That's the difference. But State Legislatures will never give a question like this serious attcn- tion until prodded up to it by the people, and, strange to say, the very people, the fanners, who are most directly interested in good roads, are the people who seem to realtze this the least and to say the least about it. They would probably be the first to protest if it were proposed to tax their property to construct good, substantial ,..;.. iu.., and durable highways. L I GJAM THE TYPICAL SOUTHERNER. One of theSouth's Truest and Noblest Sons, He Possesed Mauy Claims and Characteristics Which Entitle Him to Such Distinction. Atlanta Constitution.! The typical American has been the subject of much discussion. Some have found him in Lincoln, and others point to Lee. Perhaps it will not be amiss to take up another branch of the question the typical Southerner. We believe that there will be no dissenting voice when we name Lucius Lamar. Chivalric and yet conserva tive, imaginative and yet practical, scholarly and yet a man of affairs, "loving a nation into peace," and yet devoted to his native South Lamar was all this and more. In several historical debates in Con gress, this great Southerner strikingly illustrated the qualities which have made him so generally loved and honored. His magnanimous tribute to Charles Sumner first drew the at tention of the North to him. Natur ally, it was misunderstood by the superficial, but it was not long before the Northerners were put upon notice that, while the Mississippian was ready to do justice to an opponent, he was also quick to defend his own people against unjust attacks. Roscoe Conk ling had to submit to a rebuke trom him, with the stinging reminder that it was one which " no good man would beai." Blaine, too, felt the power of his burning eloquence, and on one occasion appealed to the House for protection. Lamar's part in one great debate will not soon be forgotten. In 1879, when the pension arrears bill was up, Senator Hoar offered the following amendment. Provided, that no pension shall ever be paid under this act to Jefferson Davis, the late president of the so-called con federacy. Several Southern Senators spoke, and then Senator Lamar took the floor. He referred to the insult, wan tonly and without provocation, offered by the Senator from Massachusetts, and was immediately called to order by Mr. Edmunds, who was in the chair. The Senate decided that the words should stand, and the orator, after apolgizing for wounding the sensibilities of Mr. Hoar, proceeded with his speech. He boldly declared that the only difference between him self and Jefferson Davis was the fact that the latter's exalted character, pre eminent talents and well-established reputation as a statesman, patriot and soldier, enabled him to lead in the cause to which the speaker had con secrated himself, and to which every fiber of his heart responded. An in sult to Davis was an insult to the Southern people, as the only difference between them was that between a leader and his followers. Mr. Davis had never uttered a word that would encourage hostility to the union after the war, and it was unjust to seek to dishonor him. In conclusion, the Senator said : Now, sir, I do not wish to make any remarks here that will engender any ex citement or discussion; but I say that, the Senator from Massachusetts con nected that name with treason. We all know that the results of this war have acttached to the people of the South the thecnical crime of rebellion, and we sub mit to it, but that was not the sense in which the gentleman used that term as applied to Mr. Davis. He intended to affix I will not say he intended, but the inevitable effect of it was to affix upon this aged man, this man broken in for tune, suffering from bereavement an epithet of odium and imputation of moral turpitude. Sir, it required no courage to do that : it required no magnanimity to do it; it : required no courtesy; it only required I hate, bitter, malignant, sectional feeling, and a sense of personal impunity. The gentleman, I believe, takes rank among ; Christian statesmen. He might have learned a better lesson, even from the page of mythology. When Prometheus wus bound to the rock it was not an eagle it was a vulture that buried his beak in the tortured vitals of the victim. Mr. Blaine responded with a tame protest against placing Mr. Davis any where in the race that had produced Hampden and Washington. The debate , continued until Zach Chandler came j to the front with the insulting state ment that Davis entered the Senate with perjury on his lips and treason in his heart. After an attempt to draw a pathetic picture of the horrors of the war, Chandler expressed his surprise at hearing a eulogy upon a loving rebel, and a double-dyed traitor. To this torrent of coarse abuse, Lamar, of course, made no reply. The debate was over, and the general verdict was that all the thunder and lightning in it was furnished by the Mississippian. The speeches on the Republican side were as commonplace as the dull pattering of the raindrops after the climax of an electric storm. Surely, this Rupert of debate was our typical Southerner ! "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers," was a line of alliterative non sense, that the children used to say. Now adavs thev can practice on the Perfect, Paiiiless, Powerful Properties of Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. It will im press a fact which will be useful to know. These Pellets cure sick headache, bilious attacks, indigestion, constipation and all stomache, liver and bowel troubles.

Pierce's Purgative Pellets are as painless as they are perfect in their effect5;. GOLDEN LEAFLETS. Grains of Wisdom Gleaned Here and There from Various Sources. Your opinion of Christianity, is what you are. Beware of an enemy bearing a flag of truce. Man's salvation is a comet, God's an eternal sun. You can't pass at Heaven's gate upon your face. God don't save a man with his hands in his pockets. Christianity is keeping all God's commands, not just what you please. Heaven's gate is not wide enough to received drunkards and liars. Don't try to measure the Bible with your small store of knowldge. Hired men are not worked in God's fields. His children do the work. Don't follow any man in religion. God's word should be your leader. If you ask God for daily bread, you won't cheat some poor widow to get it. It is not where most I go, how must I feel, saved. but "what must I do to be The seekers after the little use for the motto ; dollar have "In God we trust." We are in need of men men of opinions and convictions put into effect. God never offers salvation to a man who is too stingy to help a poor widow. Don't worry yourself hunting for a big candle stick to put your little light on. A bundle of brass, conceit and finery called a dude is a poor showing for man. Churches were not built lor dormi tones, nor pulpits erected so say speeches m. Charity means giving what you can, whether it be of kind words or food to the poor. Many a cushioned pew in the amen corner will get left when His jewels are made up. A self made man may spoil his job by putting in too much of the cement ot conceit. A "Sunday Christian" can't claim any room in the "Mansion not made with hands." Rich food to thy dogs and cold bread to the poor is a compress to thy soul. You may sing "I want to be an angel" all your life and then never get to Heaven. Church members quarrel, go to law, and are tried by unbelievers. Paul says do otherwise. Loud amens on Sunday and "calling figures" on Monday night is not the shining light. The whole world is one big asylum full of lunatics over the question of making money. God's railroad starts at conviction and ends at glory, carrying only through passengers. Some preachers fume and puff over little evils like they were killing flies with sledge hammers. Some men are born rascals, some achieve rascality, but none have ras cality thrust upon them. Don't imagine that the whole road is lined with rotten bridges, for with God, as a support for them they'll hold up the universe. Many a man will wade knee deep in snow to get to his grocery store in the morning by sunrise, but the weather is too bad to go to church. The wonders of religion as man ifested upon the hearts and lives ol men speak volumes, fuller and grander than all the works of men throughout the ages. God's vessel is lying alongside, telling you that you are overloaded and begs you to cast it all upon the eternal steamer that's bound for the port of glory. No man can be truly brave who is not seeking to be truly good. For every fault we can point out in others we have two of our own. It never helps a small man any to lift him up. Christ for us is all our righteousness before a holy God ; Christ in us is all our strength in an unholy world. Beautiful is the year in its coming and in its going most beautiful and j blessed because it is aiwasthe Yearot Our Lord. The seeming shipwrecks we meet with in the voyage of life often prove the very things which best speed our course to the haven where we would be. New York Observer. A noble heart will disdain to subsist like a drone upon the honey gathered by others' labor ; like a leech to filch its food out ot the public granary ; or like a shark, to prey on the lesser fry ; but will one day or other earn his own subistence.

A Maddened Populace Thrust Red Hot Irons Into His Body, Then Pour Kerosene Oil Over Him and Apply the Torch A Shocking Crime Shockingly Avenged. Paris, Texas, February 1. A mob of angry men and women, numlering thousands, wreaked a niwsi tn jitlu! vengeance of lynch law t y upon Henry Smith, a burly neio. n- with the fiendishness of a depraved brute, outraged and cruelly murdered , little four-year-old Myrtle Vance on Thurs day. Too powerful to resist, Vvj took the prisoner from the guards, bnnging him by a rope about his neck, to the scene of his crime, subjected him to every conceivable torture and then burned the pitiable wretch at the stake. All the morning trains had brought people by the hundreds to this city, white and black alike, to await the ar rival of the guards who were bringing the prisoner back from fcxarkana, where he had been captured- The country for miles around had become wildly excited over the atrocious crime and the hunt tor the brute murderer. When the news came last night that he had been caught and identified by members of the searching party, the people seemed crazy with joy and eager for his life. On trains, on wagons, on horse and afoot, people piled into the city. The mayor ordered the liquor stores closed, unruly mobs dispersed and schools dismissed. The prepara tions for the lynching bee were sys tematic and business like. Henry Smith, a big burly negro, had, on Thursday, picked up little four-year-old Myrtle Vance, near her father's (Policeman Henry Vance) house, and, quieting her with candy, carried her through the central portion of the city to Gibbon's pasture. Several questioned him, but to each he said he was carrying her to a doctor's. At the pasture, after assaulting the poor j child, he took one little leg in each hand and literally tore her in twain. Then covering the body with leaves and brush he laid down and slept calmly by his victim throughout the night. He went home, got breakfast and disappeared. That day a mass meeting was called at the court house and searching par ties were sent out to, find the child. Her mangled body was found and the whole town joined in the pursuit of the fiend who had murdered her. He was caught yesterday at Clow, on the Arkansas & Louisiana railroad, twenty miles north of Hose. He denied the crime, but blood stains were on his clothing and later he confessed. This morning he was brought to Texarkana, where s, 000 people had gathered eager to get at him. The Pans searching party begged that he be not uiokfed. The news travelled fast. Ever) where along the line as the train bore the wretch to Paris morbid crowds gath ered to gaze upon him. At the drpot at Paris were 10,000 people. The deputy sheriffs put up a show of pistols but were brushed aside and a rush made for the car. A rope was thrown about Smith's neck and he was dragged from the car. He was then taken to rude float and borne through the streets that the people might gaze on the monster. At the open prairie, three hundred yards from the Texas Pacific depot, the scaf fold awaited him. It was six feet square and ten feet high, well within view of all. There for fifty minutes the maddened mob tortured him with a diabolical cunning that savages only are supposed to show. Red hot irons were thrust from every side into his body. His shrieks added vigor to his persecutors. First the hot irons branded his feet and inch by inch they crept up to his face. The man was unconscious when at last kerosene was poured on him and cotton seed hulls placed beneath him. A torch set the pyre on fire and all was quickly con sumed. Smith, some say, committed the crime to revenge himself on Vance who had arrested him once when drunk and clubbed him. Vance is prostrated with grief, and his wife is dangerously ill from the shock. AT THE TEMPLE GATES. The Theme of Faith. The boly morning wakes the day Of God for His good people. And Sabbath chime-bells swing ami World wide from nianv a rteple. play While simple folk, with loyal fear, Chant o'er their anthem hoary. And all the world is call'd to hear The old, old Christian story. That older grows aud sweeter flows As 'round aDd 'round the earth it goes ! The faith that once to holy men By God's true spirit given That took its glorious fashion whe;i His Son came down from heav n That through the lives of men has 1 in i Unbroken and unhidden Ah e'er from out the changeless sun Streams on the light fiit bidden Grows on and strong and upward goes Triumphant o'er all allied foes ! For life, dear soul, is not a play Thro Bekle acts fast driven : 'Tis worth the living, day by day, As with a charge God-given ! We groan as gyved by clay and time. But groaning is our thriving The oak that glories in its prime Received its strength in striving ! I ' So faith in God through wounds and piins ; Eternal life and glory gains : , Sam 11.
