With all their line forests they make nothing out of wood but logs and boards. North Carolina has 120 varie ties of trees out of 338 in the country. They ship lumber North and buy much of it hack in the shape of staves, handles, shuttle an<l bobbin blocks. They sell walnut logs for $50 and buy them back in boards for $200. The same is true of cotton, iron and other material. Diversified industries are wanted in the South. Rev. Sam Jones.—The Knoxville Daily Journal thus closes an article on the late visit of Rev. Mr. Jones to that city : “But he has the faculty of grasp ing, as it were, the hearts strings of men and stirring up their souls to the profoundest depths. What he says comes like the droppings of the gentle shower, but moves his audience with the irresistible force of a mighty cata ract. And when it has come, men wonder from whence and how. He is certainly a most remarkable man, and his visit to Knoxville will lie remembered for many long years to come. And we believe the people are better (we trust permanently) for his coming.” Enforced Temperance.—Public meetings may help to strengthen men in their good resolutions to avoid what may be to them grevious temp tations; but public meetings which resolve not only to avoid cakes and ale, but to force other people to give up cakes and ale are. to say the least, somewhat Pharisaical. When we lie- come so conscious of our own virtue that we beg the law to step in anil make other people as virtuous as we think we are, we show a tendency To look down on the poor publican. “You shall be elevated to our height, in spite of yourself, -1 we say : "we are virtuous in a certain way; you must be virtuous in our way. Ii' you want to cease drinking water; if you want to take a little wine for your stomach's sake, and for your frequent aflirmi- ties, the kindly druggist around the corner may be induced to prescribe for you.

We don't have room to say much about the games that are so pleasing to the young people, but we are pleas ed to see the pleasure they experience and add, go it while you are young. All of us get old after a while. In this life tliere are no joys like those expe rienced in the spring-time of life ; but remember, too, that youth is the time for improvement, not because a man cannot learn at 40, or 50, or even at a later period of life, but because when young, his time is more apt to be his own. In after life much of one's pleas ures is the memory of the joys of his youth. Children should be made as happy as possible for nothing can make the old happy, whose youthful years-were full of pain and t rouble. Let youth be joyous if possible. The writer has had trouble in age, but he can surround himself with sunbeams and flowers and joys that made the earth a paradise in youth. Make your children happy. Let them feel in after life that you, the father and mother, were the guardian angels ap pointed by Heaven to protect and bless them. Economic Paradoxes.—Professor Felix Adler cannot see why it is that the periods of so-called over-produc tion are periods of the greatest want. In an address on the cause and reme dies of commercial depression, he said : "I meet a man who has no coat, and I say : ‘My poor fellow, how is it that you canuot get a coat?' Accord ing to the prevalent theory, he must reply: ‘I am suffering from overpro duction. There have been so many coats produced that 1 cannot buy one !' ” The same paradox is seen in the food supply. There are more peo ple hungry, or underfed, this winter, with a hundred million bushels of grain awaiting a market, and corn burning for fuel, than has been the case in many years of a short crop. The real trouble, as the Professor says, is “not that the amount of commodi ties is too great, but that the number of people who can afford to buy them is too small.” How to increase the purchasing ability of the people and extend their markets is the problem of statesmanship. Is there anything plainer than that both ends would be served by reducing taxes upon the necessaries of the people and the crude materials of manufacture? Dr. D. F. Pennington, D. D. S., 530 West Fayette street, Baltimore, Mary land, states that he has personally used the Red Star Cough Cure and in his family he has found it a prompt and sure remedy for coughs and colds. No bad results of other cough reme dies. Not a trace of opium or mor phine. Rev. Sam Jones in Knoxville. Knoxville. Tenn., Apr. 8th, '85. Editor Union A Recorder : Rev. Sam Jones came here when se vere censure and adverse criticism against his preaching was at its height. The city papers, disregarding all rules of hospitality to the guest and stranger in their midst, copied detrimental articles from Nashville about Mr. Jones, thus endorsing them, without knowing anything about him. The great preacher came with the weight of this cloud clinging to him stood before the throng gathered to hear him, and expounded the script ures with a fearlessness and simplici tv, an earnestness and fervor that must be born of God. To hear was to charm, and the crowd swelled to an audience which left no standing room in the largest church in Knoxville, and many turned away beside. Even the pulpit and chancel hail people sit ting on the floor. Mr. Jones’ manner is pleasant and without rant. He seldom elevates his voi»e, yet all hear him distinctly. He is always felicitous, often faceeious, and vibrates between humor and pa thos bringing smiles aud tears to the faces of his hearers in quick succes sion. He reasons by illustration from life experiences, common incidents, and homely pictures, and he handles sin without gloves in a fervid and fear less manner which is bound to be irre- sistable. He is essentially one of the people. He has sinned as they have; he is subject to the same temptations ; he is surrounded by the same difficul ties as they are, and is as powerless to resist them except by the grace of God. His very inaccuracies of speech lend force to' his denunciation of sin and his commendation of right. Armed by the power of evangelical truth and sustained by the presence of the spirit of God, Mr. Jones cannot fail to convert souls. He has done a great work for Knox ville. shutting up bar rooms, tramp ling out vice, and converting in ten days nearly one thousand people. While here Mr. Jones preached four sermons daily and many people resign ed business places to go to hear him. He reminds one of the great White- field in liis command over the hearts of his hearers. “Eyes that never knew the tears of "penitence, and hearts that never felt the emotions of Godly love, wept and stirred at his sounding appeals.” Mr. Jones left for his home yester day. A crowd of five hundred people assembled at the station to bid the evangelist farewell. The scene there was truly affecting. Many of the new converts were present. The assemblage closed around the departing preacher and sang “In the S\> eet Bye and Bye.” As the anthem burst into heavenly music from the throats of well-wishers swelling in vol ume as it rolled upward hearts were too full for utterance. Mr. Jones could only ask a benediction on the weeping multitude. In conclusion we will say that no one should be condemned before they are heard. Mr. Jones has been the subject of much unjust criticism, and many misrepresentations, which, so far, "have only served to make him more earnest in his work. We believe that, “Troubles nerve the arm of the minister of God; difficulties,;he can erect himself to hear ; reproofs he can patiently endure; opposition he can manfully oppose with the sword of the Spirit in his right and the shield of faith buckled upon his left.” We wish him a long life of useful ness in the ministry and when the end conieslike the glorious Whitefield. may it be sail!, “His voice flowed on until the candle which he held in his hand burned away andwent out in its sock et.” Then may he receive the rest that remaineth for the people of God. Georgia has cause to be proud of her son. SALLY Ann. How and why Joseph E. Brown came Governor of Georgia. be- For the Union & Recorder. Seated in the office of Win. W. Chee- ver, Albany, Baker Co. Ga., were Maj. Joel Crawford, Seth Stevens, Jno. Tucker, Richard Sims, Martin Stamper and several others; the sub ject of conversation was the defeat of State aid to the Gulf Railroad in the past Legislature and how to obtain that aid in the future? A planter came in and was introduced by Cheever as Col. Bell. Bell asked Cheever if he had any salt. The re ply was, yes. The price was stated at $2.25 for ten sacks; $2.50 for less num ber. Bell complained of the price. Maj. Crawford remarked that the dif ficulty was in our want of a railroad, and commented upon the approach ing election for Governor. The then known candidates were Lamar, Lump kin, and Gardner. These were not the men to secure the needed strength to carry the bill through. The meas ure had been advocated Gov. Johnson, the opposition was chiefly from North Georgia, and the need was a Governor from that section who would favor the measure and whose influence would be sufficient to carry it through. “Now,” said Crawford to Bell “if you. Democrats, can find the man and make him Governor, you can then get your railroad and buy salt at one dol lar a sack; but the man must come from ‘Cherokee Georgia' and this the Athens regency, will oppose.’’ Bell replied, "Judge Brown is the best man I can think of from Cherokee. Maj. Crawford and John Tucker were the only persons present who had ev er heard of Joe Brown; Tucker at once spoke of Brown as the man. He had served with him in the senate. Ac. The fitness of Brown became the top ic of conversation and how to elect him. Maj. Crawford said, “You Dem ocrats must fix it, 1 do not think you can whip ‘the Athens Regency’ with your Cherokee man.” He went out with Bell and Hy Hora. The others discussed the matter. This was the beginning. Tucker declined to en gage in the work beyond his willing ness to tell what he knew about Brown. The others engaged actively but quietly in the canvass, and were enabled to secure a sufficient delega tion from the several portions of the State to delay any nomination until they could secure Brown's or some other State aid Governor from Cher okee, Ga. During the first two days of t lie convention through the efforts of a delegate named Rice, and a large rawbone man whose name beyond Me has escaped the writer's memory. Cherokee Ga., was fully Organized. On the third day it became evident that no candidate before the conven tion could be nominated. The state aid men then cast three votes from Early county in South-west Georgia for Jos. E. Brown, as a feeler and as a notice for the Brown men to concen trate. Col. Clanton seeing that Gard ner was losing votes, withdrew his name. Hope Hull moved the commit tee of 21. at request of State aid men, made through Tucker and Stamper and the writer. Tenant Lomax, the President, appointed Linton Steph ens and Rice, on that committee. The committee came out during a recess, and after dinner they reported Brown as the nominee, and "then “who is Joe Brown?” was very generally asked. The dissatisfaction was very great among the friends of the other candi dates. The feeling against each other had been intensified by the frequent ballots. The State aid men holding the balance of power, were obnoxious to fill sides and justly were accused of intentionally prolonging the session. U pon arriving at Macon the dissatisfi ed delegates were joined by crowds of friends of defeated candidates and their united voices did not promise a boom for the unknown Joe Brown: at this juncture, Tucker and others learn ing that Gov. McDonald was in the city called on him. He at once min gled among the deleg tes, congratula ting them on their nomination, giv- n-g his opinion of Judge Brown, &c. Gov. McDonald was at that time the best beloved man in the State. The delegates carried to their homes, fresh in their memory, his genial manner and hearty congratulations. He ena bled them to answer the first enquiry, who is Joe Brown ? Alfred Colquitt had many friends in the convention; but his influence, was not the needed strength. Peyton Colquitt, by his affability, liis warm greeting and admirable tact, did no harm to the future advancement of his elder brother in his mingling with the conflicting elements of the conven tion. The writer has never seen Joe Brown, and does not presume even his name is known to him. The humble part acted did not give sufficient prom inence to attract attention, notwith standing it provoked the life long en mity of those united to him by early associations, who could not under stand that he was influenced by other than personal motives. The promotion of the interest of the section in which his lot was then cast the only axe he had to grind and he turned the stone with all liis might and main. He was fully satisfied when Joe Brown redeemed In full all the pledges made by his sponsors. Dr. Lewis and Rice. The former was not a delegate. Chbrokkk Hall. Feb. 21st, 1885. Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, April 6tli, 1885. The stars and stripes m longer wave over the north wing of the Capitol. The Senate has adjourned, but many Senators with their families linger in Washington and enjoy' the beautiful spring weather which came promptly on the first day of April. The crocus es are in bloom in the parks. The' shade trees are putting forth their leaves, and the detestable English sparrows are as numerous and as nas ty as ever, in spite of the systematic and desultory efforts that have been made to exterminate them. Fashion able Washington is on wheels, nr in the saddle, and unfashionable Wash ington too. Old fashioned pedestrian- ism is in danger of becoming a lost art. The miles of concrete pavement fur nish such a skating rink as no other city can afford, and children of all ages, shades, colors and conditions live on roller skates from early* morn ing to late at night. Then there are cycles, bicycles, tricycles, and quadra- cycles, to say nothing of the old fash ioned vehicles that have horses for a motive power. Tliis is indeed a pecu liar city, and every succeeding year seems to draw more sharply the con trast between the pleasure loving, easy’ going Capital, and the great com mercial and manufacturing marts of the New World. It is expected that Washington, notwithstanding the absence of Con gress, will continue to be the center of political interest during the summer. The president and his cabinet do not expect to go on a trip to the Yellow stone, or to Long Branch, nor will they cruise along the Atlantic coast in a government vessel. They’ will re main in the District of Columbia, giv ing close and personal attention to their several departments, and set ting an example to the thousands of clerks who have been in the habit of absenting themselves during the sum mer, to the great and serious detri ment of thepublie business. There isa great deal to be done in all the Depart ments before they can be reduced to their original purpose of offices for the transaction of the business of the great nation. This work has been planned;it lias been undertaken, but it cannot he uccessfully’ consummated without the strictest supervision of responsible heads. 1 do not think it can be done without a corps of subordinates in ac cord with the principles and purposes of the administration. A very’ large number of the idle, useless, obstruc tive parasites in the government offices must be, will be, cast out. Civil service reform will become a by word and a hissing unless this is done. But this alone will not do. There are hr ndreils of others in government em ploy, who have no sympathy with the new men and new methods. They are not altogether idle or incompetent, but they are creatures of routine, and ves sels" of malice. They would hate noth ing worse than to see the present ad ministration succeed. They live in ideal exile, hoping and praying for the return of the republican party four y’ears hence. Can the new ad ministration gather fruit from such thorns and thistles as these ? That the president was wise in not expecting too much in the way of con firmation of his appointments by the Republican Senate the sequel has proved. The Senate adjourned leav ing a score of the 170 whom he had nominated unconfirmed. The signifi cance of this neglect is apparent. Re publican leaders have been completely nonplussed and alarmed at the wis dom. temperance and judgment with which Mr. Cleveland has begun his administration. They have seen in one short month the .refutation of their auguries of democratic blunders and crimes. They have seen their po litical capital of stale lies go down in a calm sea. They have realized that they’ were on the point of becoming practical democrats by acquiescence in the nominations and policy of a thoroughly patriotic administration. The situation was embarrassing, and the thoroughly confounded body of old politicians put their heads togetli- ether in caucus and said we will adjourn and get out of this, lest we stultify our record, and commit patri cide. AN ELEGANTLY APPOINTED AND POPULAR HOTEL, In an enterprising and prosperous city, like Macon, Ga., it is of course an indispensible necessity that the wants of the traveling public should be properly provided for, and the re quirements of this important class of the community are most satisfactorily met intheelegant accommodations fur nished by’ “The Edgerton,” the leading hotel of the city. It is most advantageously located opposite the passenger depot, and in convenient proximity to the business section of the city, the places of a- nmsement, etc. The building is a sub stantial structure, of handsome exte rior appearance, and its-internal ar rangements are of the most complete description. The dining hall is of spa cious dimensions, and its appoint ments are first class in every res pect: the parlor is very handsomely furnished and decorated, and there are upward of fifty sleeping apart ments, the furnishing of which com prises every requisite for comfort. The important item of perfect cleanli ness receives especial attention, and the most perfect order prevails through out the house. The tables are abun dantly’ supplied with the best tluit the markets afford, and the cuisine 1 most competent hands. In view of the superior character of the accomodations furnished, the charges are certainly very moderate, the price of board for transient guests being but two dollars per day. The proprietors, Messrs. E. E. Brown A Son, are thoroughly experi enced in the hotel business, .and their untiring efforts to contribute to the comfort, and satisfaction of their guests have rendered them exceeding ly popular with commercial travelers and tourists. To our friends who may have occasion to visit Macon, either for pleasure or business, we cordially commend the “Edgerton” as a most agreeable stopping place for either u brief visit or a prolonged sojourn.

Cutting a Man's Hair. A gentleman just arrived in London and wishing to make a fine impression, called at a barber's shop to have his hair cut in the latest fashion. “Do you understand the business,"’ said he’ to the man he found in the shop. “Mr. Frizzlewig is out"’, said the man holding a comb and a pair of scis sors in his hand, “and so is Mr. Tail- comb, but in their absence I some times undertake that important bus iness myself.” "When will either of them be hack." asked Mr. McBoot. ‘ Not until the afternoon," said the young man. “I’m in a great hurry,’’.said Mr. Mc Boot. looking at his watch. “I have an engagement at eleven o'clock, to meet n lady and it is now a few min utes past ten, so I hope you 'will cut my hair boy, in fine style, as soon as possible. Now mind, " the time is short, and a young ladv at a hoarding school expects me at tile hour I have mentioned,” “Do you want a close cut, or a me dium?’' said Napkin. “I want the London style,” said McBoot. “But there are two styles”, said Napkin, “the short and the long." “Well give me the medium”, said McBoot, “and be quick about it." As he said that he took off his coat anil laid a pistol upon the table near him. “Now be quick, for after cutting my hair I shall want a shave, but you musn’t serve me like a tmrber did who cut his own thumb through the cheek of his customer.” As lie said that he glanced at his pistol, and Napkin who felt nervous as McBoot laid it on the table, became more ner vous than ever. Hi* patient was a huge, tall, brawny, red-hot Irishman, with a head full of hair as bright as an orange. “Cut my hair boy,” he said in a voice like the grating of wagon- wheels, “and you spalpeen, be handy, for I have wasted several hours hunt ing a barber."’ Napkin had cut hair several times before, his patients locks were stiff as wire of an inveterate tight round curl. He had worn them on a three months journey without once using a comb. “Go on and cut my hair, you devil’s baby,” having stopped first to imbibe a huge draught of brandy and water and beginning in a horrible voice to sing “The lads of Shillelagh.” We let Napkin tell his own story. “I obeyed with a trembling hand, the first sight of his head had discomposed all my faculties. I plunged into the operation of adjusting it, as into a voyage over sea without rudder or compass. I cut a bit here and a bit there, taking very little off at a time, for fear of losing my wav f but the de testable round curl, rolling itself up at the moment I let go the end, defeated every hope, every ehance of regulari ty. "Thin the rest”, cried out the ap- paling ehevelure, “thin and so leave it, for I'll not wait.” This command put the finishing stroke to my perplex ity. Thinning was a process entirely past my skill; but a fresh execration, interrupting the “Lads of Shillelagh’’ left me no longer any power of thought. I had seen the business of “thinning” performed, although 1 did not comprehend it, I knew that the scissors were to be run through the hair from one side to another with a sort of snip—snip—all the way, so I dashed on snip—snip, through the close round curls, quite surprised at my own dexterity, for about a minute and a half, and" then taking up my comb to collect the proceeds of the operation, three-fourths of the man's hair came off at once in my hand. What followed I have never exactly been clear. My last look at the man's head revealed more skin than hair. Mr. McBoot I think, felt the sudden chill occasioned by the departure of his head gear: at all events he put his hand to his head, and motioned to rise giving a quick glance at his pistol. I made a rush to the back door mutter ing something about “heating irons”, as J passed through the door I turned slightly iind saw discovery in his eye. I see him even now looking at the white checks all over his head with his countenance full of amazement and glowing with anger paralyzed be side the chair in which he had "been sit ting, rubbing his head with the left hand, as doubting if the right had not misinformed him.

A GEORGIA HALLELUJAH. “The Old Flag is our Flag”—Back in the Old Home. [Letter to the New York Herald.] This is written from the old capital of Georgia, a town of 6,000 people. The Oconee river furnishes fine water power and the climate is very healthy. The lands are the best in the state; one farmer made fifty-three bales of cot ton on forty-one acres.

I lost seventy negroes by the war. but I say now they are free let them stay free.— My’hand is hard and horny now, but I "love to grasp the hard and horny hand of Dick and’Tom and Uncle Dan. I have no unkind word for them and they have noue for ine. But there is one thing we cannot for get—our brothers and fathers buried in Confederate states blankets (nor must the north forget this). But now we bring to their graves flowers of joy, and we will whisper to them, “It is best.” The old flag is our flag now. We are hack in the old home. And there will be borne on the winds the tramp of the honored dead of the grey and the honored dead of the blue, and we will hear from Lee and Mc Pherson and Jackson anil Kearn- the command. “Fall in,” and tile blue will step by the side of the grey and the grey by the side of the blue, and the orders will be read. “All is well; break ranks forever.” Georgian.

Bayne, A SPRING TOPIC. Atlanta Constitution. We have received the communication from dent: Milledgeville. Ga., April 2.— Messrs. Editors: If a young man has been kind, sociable, gentle and ex pressed his affections to a young lady, and has not gained hers, what shall he then resort to? Subscriber. This is a very important question at any season of the year, but far more important at this particular season when a young man's fancy is supposed to lightly turn to thoughts of love, und we are very glad our correspondent has been led by his better judgment to seek the advice and sympathy of The Constitution instead of resorting to the pistol or to cold poison. It is a very important question and a very delicate one, anil we doubt not that there are among The Constitution's readers hundreds of enamored swains who are person ally interested in the proper solution of the great problem that Lies behind our correspondent's distress. It is the problem of human nature complicated hy the mystery of fem inine human nature. I four correspon dent has failed to gain the affections of his young lady the fault is his and not hers. He is probably a very young man, or he would know that something more is necessary to gain the affections of a woman than kind ness, sociability and gentleness. All these things may be grouped under the general head of affability, and we regret to observe that a merely affable man is not an attactive lover from the feminine point of view. Self-respect and the customs of society lead a gentleman to be kind, sociable and gentle to every woman he meets. But this is mere affability. It is not calculated to attract a wo man's attention, or pique her curiosity, or challenge her admiration. It is expected that a innn who is in love with a woman shall either he some thing more than affable or a great- deal less, Romeo, our correspondent will remember, was something more than affable while the gay Sig nor Benedict was something less. Of the two, it may be said that Benedict’s wooing was the most successful if not the most pleasing, Our correspondent savs he has lieen affable to his young lady, has “ex pressed his affections - ’ aud failed to gain hers. He has probably “ex pressed his affections’’ in mere words, and the young lady is no doubt wait ing for some more substantial expres sion. If his “affections” are genuine he will have no difficulty in convinc ing the young lady of their genuine ness; but he must cease playing the affable youth. He says he has failed to gain’ the affections of his young lady, but how does he know? Who has made him wiser than the poets and prophets. Having tried affability and failed, as it was natural he should fail, our correspondent asks what he shall resort to. As there are no love pow ders now-a-days of reasonable efficacy, we are compelled to advise him to fall back on his common sense. Let him assuref himself that he cannot gain the affections of liis young lady, and then try to gain the affections of some other young lady. Unrequited love leaves no scars. It is a cutaneous disorder for which nature furnishes a thousand remedies. Cancer Cured. Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resi dent of Walton county, and a lady of culture and prominence, has to say of the treatment of cancer with Sw’ift's Specific: Over fifteen years agoacancer made its appearance on my face. I was treated with plasters, and the core came out. The place healed up after some time, and seemingly my face was well. However, in a few years it re turned again with more violence than ever. I; gave me a great deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run in the family, having had one sister to die with cancer, I became seriously apprehensive of my condition. It con tinued to increase in size and viru lence. I almost gave up all hope of ever being cured. The physicians ad vised the use of the knife and caustic. This was more than I could bear, and refused to have it operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but the cancer continued to prow worse. The pain was excruciat ing, and my life was a burden. In tins extremity my son, Dr. Hardman, recommended me to try Swift's Speci fic. It was the last resort, but I was so prejudiced against the use of patent medicines, and especially this one, that I hesitated some time. At last I gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first, bottle only increased the size of the sore and the discharge from it, and hence did not inspire me with any hope. On taking the second bottle there were signs of improvement, and my faith strengthened just in proportion to that improvement- The spot on iny face began to decrease, as well as the discharge, and hope sprang up in my heart. Could it be. I asked myself, that I was at last to be relieved of this disease? It has given me so many dark hours in the past that the idea of being well again almost overpower ed me. There was a contest between hope and fear for a long time. It was a long night of weeping, but joy came with the morning. There is nothing left to mark the place but asmall scar, and I feel that it is impossible for me to express my gratitude for this great deliverance.
