A White BtirKlur.
l'ollceman C. D.Allen caughtn young white
man, Arthur Carpenter, last Thursday who
had burglarized a store in Klberton, Gu.,and
| had come tills far 011 a freight train. This
young burglar, not over twenty years of age,
had gone into the business 011 a large scale,
aim Iiau u milieu iiiiuocn nw.n uotu
| and then tilled two valises wllh razors,
knives, jewelry and a general assortment o^
small artic'es. He took his arrest very cooly. :
[and promised to gel even with Conductor!
I Capehart who assisted It) taking him In.
| Having helped himself to the above named
articles he boarded the through freight to
beat his way. Near here he was discovered
and his actions aroused the suspicion of the
Conductor who, the Instant the traiu came to
a staud-stlll at the shops, sent one of his train
hands for Policemuu Allen. In the meantime
Carpenter had gotten on the top of one
of the cars of another train, and when ills-,
covered refused at fin-t to come down, and
when he did so, at the first chance, made a
break for liberty. A pistol shot from the officer
brought him to a stop, and he was again '
taken In low for Hie lockup, when about!
half of the jourfley was over, with a sudden '
movement, the grips were drooped and lie j
faced his captors with a gleaming ra/.or in i
each hand, threatening "death to any one
who touched him." A little persuasion and'
a good view into the muzzle of Policemen Al- j
len's pistol, and a stern "Drop them" from a (
man who meant II, down they went.
With no further trouble the prisoner was i
landed In jail, from whence he was taken the!
next night by officers from Klherton.and will {
uo doubt serve the State of Georgia forsev-!
eral years before being a freeman.

"Testimonials."
Asa rule we do not prolong a controversy -
but in recognition of tbe courtesy and good
o|si<ib wi uui onicciucu auu uiuuii xcapcuicu
contemporary tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian
we copy tbe answer of that paper to
what we said recently of "testimonials."
Whether we were right or wrong 1b neither
here nor there, and makes no sort of difference
one way or tbe other. But we may appreciate
civility from a brother, while still
contending that "a stick,'1 In Itself, is not a
testimonial. It may be given "as a testimoI
nlal M The rMpIt In lloolf la n/\#hlr?<r
-
Even supposing a stick to be a testimonial,
we doubt whether a purchased testimonial Is
"a suliable testimonial." The testimonial as
a thing of commercial value Is nothing when
compared to klodly and sincere words. Kind
words are more than carouets. The heart's
recognition, and the utterance of heartfelt
expressions for kindness shown are treasuers.
We do not admit?even If It were possible
for a slick to be transformed Into a testimonial?
that a thing which is bought with
money can be a "suitable testimonial" to
"give expression and appreciation of unremitting
attention" from a railroad magnate*
We hand tbe porter a quarter, whioh, for
him. Is a suitable testimonial, and settle off
with him, but tbe idea of giving a railroad
magnate a stick is not, according to our way
of thinking, "a suitable testimonial."
We have In our office, the Standard Dietlonery,
also Webster's and Worcester's. Be.
lore writing our article we looked up the
I word "testimonial" in nil of them. We bas
) ed our remarks upon Webster's, the standard
