CARNESVILLE, GA, JULY 24, 1888.
THE SCHOOL AT ALLENS
The Diatridt Conference at Toccoa
Does a Sen8ible Thing.
At the Methodist District meeting
at Toccoa, the School house at AN
lens Camp ground aud all connec¬
tion between the School and the
church, was severed. It is no long'
or a school over which the church
lias nuy control. It belongs to the
meu who built it, and will be
trolcd oy them m the future.
me glad to know that all connection
between the school and church is at
an end. There is probablv no insti*
tu tion in I lie world more clannish
than the church, and different de¬
nominations will not give each
other much assistance in building up
and maintaining schools. No des
nomination in iliis section is strong
enough to maintain a good school.
We know of no section of tins
county where the facilities for a first
class school are equal »o the Red Hill
neighborhood. The people of that
neighborhood arc, in the nuitur of
schools, in advance of their neigh¬
bors. They were the first toeraoloy
a teacher regular' y trained in the
Normal Methods of teaching, and
having Itnri experience, they will not
bs likely to take any backward steps.
Tin? school building is the best we
know of in the county; it is in wno
of the most thickly se.tled localities;
the people are almost without ex¬
ception, able to educate their chil¬
dren; the health and morals of the
community ore unsurpassed, and
there is no largo stream to interfere
with rugulai attendance of pupils.
If wise counsels prevail, the school
can soon be made the educational
centre of the county.
KISSING “DI8 GAL.”
William Brown and Adeline Har¬
ris hail from Arkansas. Thoy are
both colored. Brown is about 55
years old, Adeline is not above JO.
This disparity in rge was no barrier
to love, which snugly ensconced
itself in the breast of both, ono for
the other. * * * The bridal
party moved with steady steps and
stately grace to a position in front
of the magisterial alter. Squire
Barry arose, cade in hand, and clear,
ed his voice for a grand splurge into
the regulation marriage service.
Slowly and with iiuusunl emphasis
he pronounced the words till he
reached the closing clause: “1 pro¬
nounce you man and wife,” Before
the magic words had fallen from his
lips the oridegroom gasped' 1 “Hoi’
on dar, boss; lem me kiss dis gal!”
Then oegau a scene that caused the
crowd to roll upon the floor with
laughter. Brewn met with violent
resistance from “dis gall” who evi¬
dently cad uo undue fondness for
public osculatory exerciw*. A regu¬
lar scuffle ensued, the finality o f
which was that Brown got Adeline’s
head buck against the wall, and
their bps met with a resounding
smack. All was over.—Memphis

MARTIN INSTITUTE.
Closing Exercises of this Old Insti¬
tution which la Juetly tho
Pride of Jefferaon.
This popular Institute has just
closed the spring term with tho
most brilliant commencement over
had In Jefferson. A largo number
of visitors came from a distance and
tbe chapel was densely crowded with
• hi rlily appreciative audience. Tho
0 e rei«es were peculiarly interesting
a nd tho recitations of a superior
character. Even the examinations
of the proceeding week wore well at¬
tended nnd they showed extraordi¬
nary training.
All thoughtful visitors appreciated
the importance attached to real study
nnd solid work which characterize
this limitation. Uudor the man¬
agement of l’rof. Glenn and Ids ns*
sisiant teachers, it is taking or. some,
tiling of its old renown for careful
training and thorough drill ..in ivi,i,.Vi which
distinguished it in former years, ine
original essays of Wednesday’* pro
grain no were complimented in the
highest ® term*, ’ and tho debate on
woman suffrage would ,, , have done , .
s
honor to most legislative bodies,
so it was claimed by many who had
bom in the General Assein dy >
Georgia ami by others wlio are cum
neiitly qualified to judge of such
matters.
The poem by Prof. W. T. Dumas
was u perfect gein nnd the literal)
address by Col. Hooper Alexander
was one of the very best your corres¬
pondent over hoard on a similar oc*»
ensuin'.
The short addresses made by Col.
Sllman m deciding the suffrage qncs
tion and by Editor J. N. It os* in
delivering tho prizes, though brief,
wore remarkably appropriate nnd
tho language unusually well chosen.
During the past term a number of
pupils from a distance have attended
Martin Institute, it is expected that
this number will be considerably ins
crowed this full. The building and
equipments are very superior, bolter
that over before, nnd the old InstN
tuto will deserve all the patronage
which she may receive.

GEN, WHEELER’S
Speech on the Tariff--Some Nuta
For The High Tariff Men
To Crack
It is really unneocssary to dismiss
tho tariff in this county. Our people
nio practically of one mind. It
would not he on over statement to
to say, that r.ino tenths, or probably
nineteen twentieths, of tho intelli¬
gent votcis of the county, endorse
Senator Colquitt’s position on tho
question ot tariff reform. Yet there
are n few who favor a strong protec¬
tive tariff, and it is for this few that
we offer the following statement of
facts, taken from Gon. Wheelov’s
spooeh, made in Congress a few days
ago. Tho following extracts are
taken from General Wheeler's recent
speech.
“Tim census of 1880 shows that
tho , v duo of the farms in the United
^ Tll(UV
wnH employed oil tnvso fat ms 7,(570,
493 persons, and tho products of tlm
farms consumed and orchards—including by tbe thorn what
was fanners
solves—nmonntori lo 92/261,278,718,
\Vo son froti. this that tho gross
product in our agricultural indue
fries was about twenty two per cent.
nno | about value |300. of tlm product per capita
W u*
This computation does not take in¬
to ihe account tbe amount of the
capital invested in, or tho wear and
of tear seeds of farming and fertilizers, implements, the the amount cost
of capital invested in work stock, nor
tho cost of tlieir subsistence. W ere
ibeso items included tits profits of
farming would probably be reduced
one ono-half of tho amount I have ra¬
dicated; but to be liberal, estimate we will
say thoy would reduco my
ono third—1200 per capita instead of
#800.
From tho sumo census wo learn
that tbe amount of capital invested in
manufacturing industries was bonds 52,-
790,228,500, tho number of
employed was 2,730,980, and tho
007,700- total value Tho of the value product of tho was produot 55,869
in tbe manufacturing industries is
liras shown to bo about 200 per cent,
on tho capital invested, nine times
greater than tho per cent, of gross
product realized iu agriculture. about 52,000 Tho
valuo of the product was
fsr each porson engaged in manufac¬
turing, or seven times as much as tho
product por capitu realized in farm¬
ing. But I should deduct tbe value of
materials used in manufacturing.
Let «« see what will bo tho result.
Tho vul .o of materials used by these
258,840 manufacturing establish¬
ments was 58,394,340,029, leaving materials an
excess of product ovor tho
used of 51,975,827,677, or about 70
per cent, on tho chapital the invested— poroont
more then three times annual
gained in farming—aud the
amount produced per capita, less tho
cost of materials, was about 720, the just
tbroo and tbreo-riftbs times per
capita of tho produco by farming.
After giving statistics showing tho
comparative results if our ngricul
ar.d manufacturing industries, Gen.
oral Who W continues.
W« therefore see that after de¬
ducting tho cost of materials used in
tbe manufaoinjing indiotries, fertiliz¬ and
deducting the cost of seed*,
ers. feed of working stock, etc , used
in agricultural industries, the value
of ufacturing the product industries ot one person throej in man¬ and
is
three-fifths times as much ns the
valuo of the j roduct of each person
engaged in iarming We also invested see
that (or every $109 product capiial realized
in tnanfaciuring a is
of 570, while for every 5100 iodized capital
in vested in {.inning tbero is
a j roduct *»f only W4*
Now we want some of our protecs
live tardt friends to answer the feL
lowing question. engaged
Why should the people
in an industry, that yields but |I4
on eveij *100 invested, be heavily
taxed, lo protect the people, who
are engaged in an industry that pays
$70 OH t-\e y 5100 invested.

SMART MEN.
•mart Schemes of tome Mon to
Oaln Immense Wealfh.
In common parlance, tho man who
gets rich by tenon of operation* bor¬
dering so closely upon fraud that tho
distinction between the two is n legal
rather than a moral difference, is
called a “smart man.” Ho is ad
mired lor his adroitness and envied
for his success, But, na a general
ride, wealth is of no real use to in—
d ividunls of this class. The enjoys
meut consists mainly in tho process
of accumulation, not in tho result. To
out general, to outwit and hood¬
wink their fellow men is their dnr
etit ploy meat, and the questionable
celebrity they thus obtain is ouo of
their greatest luxuries. They nro
proud, too, of their reputation for
superior shrewdness; nnd tho sort of
worship that people or grovelling in*
stincts accord to property,irrespective
of tlm manner in which it is amassed,
gives them « sense) of importantou
which is doubtless very agreed»le.
They do lint apply to themselves
the moral standard by which consci¬
entious men measure trier net* ami
nnd motive*, but arc content to take
(ho opinion of weak nnd duspicinblo
nioney-worsnipefs ns tho true esti¬
mate of their olinrac*or nnd jhjsU
tion.
Much individuals are, wo suppose,
happy—-In llieir way. Bo are tho
lower animals. A snake in the not
of fascinating its prey, or basking in
tho sunshine after having gorged it,
feels nil that ft snake can fool of
pleasure. Hut happiness is ot dif¬
ferent qualities, Tho higher the
moral and intellectual aspirations ot
the man, tho more exalted and in.
tenso his sense of enjoyment. * Docs
anybody suppose that tho miser, in
counting his gold and chuckling ovor
its possession, experiences sensa¬
tions ns delicious as those of him
who bus been ministering to llie sick
nnd destitute? or that of a specula
tor, nftor having made a million of
dollars by forcing a rise hi a partic¬
ular stock, is comparable to that of
Galileo when he had solved tho pnth¬
em of tho earth’s motion, or of
Columbus whoa he beheld from the
deck of his caravel, tho “Now
* orld.”
A time come to nil men, “sinnrt’'
or simple, when a near approach of
the unknown future compels a re¬
vie w of the irrevocable past. When
nil temporal hopes are at end, mem.
ory assert* itself with wonderful
power; and if it presents nothing bet¬
ter than a tong record of sordid
scheming, a career of success found¬
ed on tergiversation, the selfish satis¬
faction of years will seem to the
‘•smart man” but a miserable equiva¬
lent for tho stings of remorse wiicn
a single hours reflection will cntiNO
to rankle in his soul, Much smart*
ness does not fay.
The desire to accumulate property
is a wholesome deeir,, if it bo reguht.
tod by the laws of honor, and tem¬
pered by the charities life. Oth¬
erwise it is a curw*. Ha who arrives
at the limit of human existence with
millions in his exchequer, but with a
block balance against in the book of
tbe Recording Angel, dies p moral
pauper, and were it permitted him
to speak from ‘he marble purchased
by his ill-gotten gold, he would con*
tradict his own obituary notices, and
tell tiio world that
“Kveti here, upon tlift* bank and shosl
of time.
to say nothing of tbe life lo come,
tli ere be no clevattd happiness with¬
out tnl adherence honesty of purpose, ai.4 a fa : th
to “la«t and greatest
commandment.” There is nothing
in tuc world more tree than that a
smart knave is essentially— both as
respects Ibis life and the next— an
arrant iocl.
