The death * of t ^Mr. Estes was most peculiar. He f; ^pad been sick for about seven weeks, c taken with grippe. Monday even- \ ing at 7 o'clock he went to sleep, r and his physician thought lie was e in a natural sleep; but from this t sleep he never awoke to conscious- | ness, and at 9:30 Tuesday morning \ ho ceased to breathe, the vital v spark having become extinct. The burial was in Padgett's Creek ] Church cemetery. His pastor, v Rev. C. T. Scaife, conducted the a services. r Andrew Jackson Estes was a s veteran of tlie Southern Confeder- i acy, and one who never for a mo- ^ U nieiit lost his love and loyalty for s the cause for which he so nobly j| I fought. c No better citizen ever lived in Union County, a true friend, a good husband and thoughtful neighbor.

A recent dispatch from Columbus tates that the extent to which noro children in the mrnl districts of icorgia are taking advantage of the uhlic school system is but little ealized, and adds: "A few days ago a Columbus entleman had occasion to take a ountry trip of some length. Along he roadside he met group after roup of negro children going to chool, and only one crowd of white hildren during the entire trip, 'he proportion of negro school hildren to white that he saw during the trip was was fully five or ix to one. lie was greatly impressed by the incident." An impressive incident, indeed, hough not an uncommon one, if re are to judge from similar retorts from other sections of this nd other States that have oceaionally come before us in the past. Nothing but words of praise can e said of the negro parents whose ense of duty to their children prouces such unexpected results. But rhat is to be said of the white tarents whose indifference or selishness keeps their luckless children t home, for the sake of their comparatively trilling contributions to he labor of the household and the arm? Do these people want their hildren to grow up uneducated and ivc and compete on the same teritory with negroes who are edueatd? Would they thus surrender heir childrens' birthright and >last their future for the sake of an mmediate advantage of the slightest a I ue? mi?.* i* J ii i i .A? i nis is a sunjeci inai. ncetis venufttion in Georgia.

Liverpool took a bullish view rj of the census report, which caused ^ yesterday's break in the local market, and cables were much higher I than expected. This caused active covering here and the market opened at an advance of 14 to 23 points. There was aggressive hull support on every slight recession, and before the upward movement was checked, May contracts sold at 10.90, or 37 111 points net higher, and July at ^ 10.93, one of the main features he- t: ing the shrinkage in the difference between May and July, which led il. to rumors of a May corner.
