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 Appeal. The reason why I iike to sel’the Domestic Sewing tnaehiuc, is be¬ cause lt docs its own talking, when examined, and never fails to give en¬ tire satisfaction. C. L. MIZE.

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. Z. X. UUCKLENS ARNICAS ALV E.

ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM 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.

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.
