The United States District Court of Georgia has rendered an impor tant decision in regard to the way in which these Land Loan Associations take mortgages. A statement of the facts may be found elsewhere. We are glad to welcome the Keo wee Courier to our exchange list again. It comes out in a new dress and enlarged from the fire. The Courier is a good paper and we trust it will speedily recover from its loss by the fire. Two members of the Georgia Leg islature, Simmons and Felton, during the past week have been entertaining the house and the galleries by in dulging in invective against each other and trying to see which could excel the other in abuse. It grew out of a prison reform bill before the Legislature. -Each man had his say of abuse and the Legislature gave it self up to them for two or three days, and greeted both speakers with round after round of applause. They are right effectual users of abuse. We do not think either has been bene fitted by this tilt nor has the Legis lature of Georgia gained very much valuable information. The election on the "Murray pro hibition bill" was held in Laurens and Anderson Counties on Tuesday. The papers yesterday did not give the exact figures, but we understand that the prohibitionists lost in An. derson by a majority of about 2,000 votes, and in Laurens the vote against it amounted to a majority of about 100. This means that the whiskey men won both in Anderson and in Laurens. The bill provided that there shall be no whiskey- sold or brought into the county except under certain restrictions. We have never thought the bill a wise me~asure for the cause of temperance. A young medical student died the other day from effects of smoking cigarettes. It is said he smoked sixty a day. There have been other deaths noted from this same habit and the habit seems to be increasing, un't9 Jit becomes a seious matter. It is sa7kto be the most injurious way in which tobacco is used. Those who are addicted to the habit should stop andI think and leave it off if possible.. Parents should try to see to it that the habit is not formed by their boys. It is injurious. It is useless. It is so injurious that when used to excess it produces death. We print elsewhere an account of one of the most horrible railroad ac cidents on record. It was first thought that it was possibly the re' suit of the work of professfonal train-wreckers. Later accounts, how ever, attribute it to the carelessness of the railroad management. It is a horrible affair. -- A train full of living freight and happy excursionists, in an instant dashed into a wreck and amidst scenes of mourning and death. But the most horrible part of this dreadful affair is, that amidst this scene of suffering and death some fiends in human form began their deeds of plunder and robbery, even to taking the shoes from the feet of the be guilty of such deeds must be very low indeed. The killing of the wrong man in Atlanta the other day on account of having the ready pistol in the con venient hip pocket leads the Atlanta Const itut ion to advise the Georgia Legislature to enact alaw against carrying deadly weapons. The News and Courier thinks Georgia and -other States as well, should have such a law and that it should be so made that all who violate it would find their way to the Penitentiary. But what about such a law that is constantly violated without danger, or fear of punishment ? What good does it do ? South Carolina has such a law on ,her Statutes but the convenient pistol is almost always on hand when needed. If the public would hold the man who carried the deadly pistol con cealed, as a coward and a bully, it would do more to wipe out the evil than all the statutes on the subject or even the open gate of the Peniten tiary, for few there are who ever pass through it for carrying the pistol, unless it is some poor fellow for whom nobody cares. As long as it is held by the public as right and proper to carry the animal, and the man who constantly carries it is re spected and made much of, the evil a ot be checked, neither the mur ders and horrors that naturally fol- RE low. The carrying about one's per- iTe Frie son of the deadly pistol will be con- Sem tinued.

For the Herald and News. ha Thoughts for the Hour. an I desire to-day, kind reader, to em- Su phasize a thought crudely presented in my first paper. You will remember to that Robert Guiscard burned his ships behind him, upon "the hostile shores" 1S of Illyria. Having decided what to do, th he determined that his soldiers should not go back. Well, if we have an ob- Co jective point to reach-having taken an "the cup of trembling and stood in the 1 valley of decision"-let us. likewise -su break down all false barriers of re- ye straint. Let us leave our cells of sel fishness, our cloisters of ease and self- al indulgence, our intellectual pride and ci indifference, and go forth beyond the horizon that binds ptur igion, and in a p spirit of selfdnial and'da4gation, C< FvirJ2ilf0mimity and mercy towa'r.all men, that we may take part in the Titah Q contest about to open. We cannot be de mere spectators, for the hour has come T when the parallel lines of light and ha darkness, virtue and v'ice, truth and - error, and, I write it reverently, God see and Belial, are running fiercely together be for the mastery. t It was Lord Lytton, I think, who said: he "Woe to him who is before the age, but ye a thousand woes to him who is behind of the age." Very true. Paul counselled . wisely and acted kindly, and for it was da beaten with many stripes and impris- T oned. In exorcising devils he was called m a pestilent fellow and a stirrer up of ni strife. And the best revolution of sti thought-should it clash, as clash it re must and will with false pride, selfish ness, indifference, idolatry, intolerance and infidelity--will bring, at least, a spirit of censure and hyper-criticism 8.5 upon those who are in the van, while in c the "overthrow" which comes in a blind i fight against "the spirit of the age" everything is lost and swept away. a God never made an independent man. d< Hence it follows that concession and m compromise between men and nations a is the right principle. Yet between God e and man there can be no such thjng as at compromise. He gas established eternal n< principles and truths for our highest fiI happiness, and happy is he who has learned "To see, to think, to read, to pray, h To lift the latch and force the way" ca Ir into the penetralia of Omniseience, and p will follow on and on with simple trust at and unquestioning faith. .to a the "scalping knife" of a thoughtless multitude, yet Christian civilization was behind him. Leitch sought to tell the people homely truths for tbeir edifica- S( tion and to wake many from their leth- fo agie sleep, and they fain would silence ht him. Perhaps lie erred in certain par- pi ticulars ("to err is human, to forgive at divine"), yet not materially. His mis- T takes were of no moment to the earnestC mind in search of heroic truth. These thoughts arc ofl general as well as local application. The seience of the Fl times has made all the world kindred.
