The attempt by the Legislature 1 limit the working hours of childreni h ifactories has failed. This may be wel ao for possibly it is not well to legislai r too much about the contracts ar practices of private iudividuals, br re we are of the opinion that it is wrot c' for children of ten years or under1 work as long and steadily as they get o erally do in our factories. It is doub r ful whcther it is right to legisla e. about the matter, but to our mir there is little doubt that the workir a of these children in the factories is i bes jnrious to the children. t The bill to establish a Confeder Home has been rejected by the Senat -e We are inclined to think that this irs wise, and that it will be better not Fe establish a Home, but if the old s< diers are to be provided for, let it ~ id done by a pension.

Accident. Special to Augusta Chronicle. ATnTA, Ga., December 13.-A hor- I rible accident occurred at Choccolocco, on ti the Georgia Pacific railroad. last night at r 10 o'clock. A freight train loaded with s western produce left Birmingham early N yesterday evening, passed Anniston and 1I reached Choccolocco, going at the rate of s twenty-five or thirty miles an hour. f Choccolocco was not a stopping point for f that train, which was a through train. Somebody, either by accident or malice c aforethought, probably for the purpose r of injuring the Georgia Pacific railroad, a had turned the switch and locked it. I The main line thus ran into a side track p -what is known as a "block side track"- n with one end terminating abruptly. On the side track were five or six cars loaded with coal or brick, and against these cars the freight train crashed. The engineer, Mr. Carson, had taken out at Anniston his former fireman, a col ored man, and these two were killed. It is simply impossible to describe the wreck. it was the mo-t horrible thing ever witnessed, and every railroad man 1 aboard-the train said openly that they had never seen anything comparable to it i in point of horror.

Dean. All the parties have flen the county, the men taking the wife and daughter with them. The evidence clearly shows the murder to have been a most >f brutal one. Burt's skull was smashed to h peices by the back of an axe, and the body was dragged from the house and taken about fifteen yards from his own door and a little dirt thrown over him. His feet were left uncovered and his face nturned down. He was evidently buried before life was extinct.
