THE RECORD.
CEDARTOWN, OA., AUGUST 16, 1874
Important to Tax Payer*.
Fooling, an wo all do, that a load of
taxation ia oruatiing oa to the earth, it
ia important to consider the cacao of
tboao bunion*, and how wo Himll bo
released from thorn.
One of the wont abases to which
wo afe subject, is tbo frequent moot
ing of tbo legislature, and consequent
of the satno. Another evil is tbo
multiplication of laws sliowsn d upon
ua from year to year.
If we corroct tbo first ovil, tbo soc-
ond will not troublo us. Tbo proper
tnodo, in our opiuion, is to buvo a
mooting of tbo lcgialuturo not ofteii-
or than every two yoarr. If such a
chxngo oan not bu tntwlo with
out altering the Couslitution, and if
tbe Constitution can not bo altered
Without oalling a convention, let's
have tbe Oouvontiou. We make
theeo suggestions with tbo liopo of
eliciting discussion on the subject, us
we think it of gronl import-unco to
all tax pajnrs. Tbo rluctiou for mem-
iKjrs of tbo JagUUturp is near ut band,
and wo would liko to see Ibis subject
made an iasuo in tbo campaign.

The war of races In Arkansas.
Mi.mihh, August 11.—A Apodal to
the Appeal, from Helena, Ark., recei
ved ut 8:510 a. m., savs;
In the oveuing.a large body of no-
gi'ut-H advanced from the South and
attacked the town, and driving skir
mishers to tbo court house, w hore a
main body of whites were stationed.
A charge was made bv tho whites,
itnd the mgrooH repulsed with loos,
several killed snd wounded. Thu
fighting was going oil when our in
formants left, and they fired upon
them ns they crossed over to Whip
Island.
A second dispatch from Helana says
that Maj. Horn Chulmom, of neraiulo,
has just arrived here for the purpose
of chartering a boat to take men to
tbo assistance of the whites in Austin,
reached llernudo nt day light, staling
that tho town was surrounded by
about 1,000 negroes, and unking for
help. About two hundred men from
Hernando and vneiuity will be there
at two o'clock, and in company will)
volunteers from this city, will start
at 4 o'clock for Austin. Dr. Smith
wbo-is tho unfortunate d.use of tho
trouble there, ruuchod hero last night.
Some throe weeks since ho was at
tacked in the streets of Austin, and
drawing bis pistol fired at tbo negro,
but missed luni and killed a little no
gro girl standing by, which exasper
ated them to such an extent they col
lected a mob aud took Dr. Wraith to
the woods to hang him, which they
would have dono but for tho entreat
ies of Mayor Woodson aud the doc
tor's wife.
A third dispatch to the Appeal,
from Helena, says telegrams are being
received from the vaciuity of Austin,
asking for men, arms anu it muni lion,
vmd stating that unless llio whites
who are surrounded ill the oourt-liouse
are spoedily relieved tlioy will bo
forced to surrender. Tho steamer A.
J. White 1ms been chartered to leave
ut. 0 o’clock, aud will cany a large
number of men Well armed.
Another dispatch to the same paper
says the negroes surrounding Auaiiii
were charged on from the Mouth tuis
morning, by a body of mounted whites,
who killed four or five mill captured
twenty iiogl'oos. The b'Uckv number
about*70(), and tbo whites about 200.
Both parties aro expecting reinforce
ments. At present the whites have
tho best of the fight. Tho negro
bands on tbo plantations opposite, on
the Arkansas side, are arming and
marching on Austin in largo numbers.

Vanity of Our Girl*.
Tho vauity of youug girls is liable
to bo fostered in moro ways than one
can enumerate: it would somotimes
fluem us if from tboir earliest child
hood everything was done to eiikiudle
this obnoxious passion in their hearts.
Even the presents and rewards they
receive aro selected so us to lead to
this result, for trinkets nod articles of
dr«sj aro usuly presented to them,
which serve only to iucre.se their
love for finery uud admiration, while
most of tho accomplishments to which
they attain tend to tho saino point:
so that il would indued bo little short
of a miracle if niauy were not vain
and conceited. Frequently mothers
will direct their daughter’s notice to
the distinction to be derived from
their beauty and fino apjKiarniice, and
wiM teach them to desire, above all
things else, to obtain uu ontrnuco in
to that society which ranks the high
est iu fashion und elegance. To this
end they nro sent to expensive schools
where they can obtain tbo companion
ship of a class of young ladies who
tnovo in higher circles than their own,
aud ore led to seek intimacos with
those whoso acquaintance, it is sup
posed, will reflect somo glory upon
them.
The natural result of such an edu
cation is tho loss of self respect; and
it often makes enemies out of those
that might havo boon dusirablo as
friends. Wheu this passion of vanity
has thus been ingrained into a girl’s
heart, she is indeed to bn pittiod, for
vain women, although thoy may have
many admirers, and may even gain
husbands, can never have real, staunch
friends whom no vicissitudes of life
nliouute. because their hearts are
too much absorbed with themselves to
nablo them to comprehend what
friendship is.
A vain woman regards individuals
of her own sex, only in the light of
Is. Women have boon often ac
cused of au inoapacity f«*r frioudahiji
Where such incapacity docs exliixt, it
must bo ascribed to that perpetual
rivalry maintained on account of their
fdto position in society, and tho per-
nioious superficial education they havo
•ecelvod. Ho long as personal beauty,
showy accomplishments, mid llio at
tractions of dress aro dtt uu d the
chief mi unfit* h for women, many of
them will know little of that love for
ouch other which will enable thorn to
sympathise and rejoice with one an
other under circumstances of uffliction
or joy.,
1 do not boliovo women aro by na
ture more prono to these prutly feel
ings of vanity or jealousy than men.
It is tho fault of their education rather
than of their nature. Beauty, like
birth and talents should bo considered
as uu incidental circumstance--a pos
session which does not give t<i its
owner any special inorit—i gift which
should not bo misused, lest it bring
upon its possessor tbo displeasure of
Col. It to n Bin rod ly a clesirablo pos
session, for it gives a grace and churin
to all ono says und does; but it should
bo considered as something to be
thankful for, and not as investing its
mvliMf wSI. nil/ t'di>celi»l w Ou
vain or conceited.
If it were only out of compassion,
those who have tbo education of
young girls should labor without coin
ing to guard Ilium from tho baneful
effects of vanity, which, pampered in
tboir infancy, makes them puffed up
with preposterous ideas of their own
importance ill the cirolos in which
they inovo, and also makes them in
capable of sympathizing with their
fellow-creatures, although thoja are
fully persuaded that thoy possess a
full claim to receive sympathy from
evory body they know’. They become
exacting, souRiitivc, misreable, und
cannot find ooutoutment or happiness
in auything. Mortified vauity briugs
misery iff its trains, and will ever
prove a fruitful souroo of unhappiness
and error. So lot us guard against
those liltlo foxes which devour tho
fair frqit upon our vines, and teach
our gills not to bo puffed up with van
ity, but to livo in harmony aiul peace
with all their friends, without oou-
Bidering how much higher, brighter,
und,fairer aro tboir prospects than
thono of their companions.

Is it not surprising that some en
terprising Company docs not put up
a cotton mill somewhere in this hoc-
tion of country? Flouring mills and
otlu-r manufactories are going up in
various parts of llio country, but nouo
seem disposed to manufacture cotton
raised at onr very doors, but allow It
to be sbip(ied to Now Eugland and
other countries which reap all the
profits.
It seems to us that a mill to con
vert cotton into thread might be
erected with about as little cost as
a •'merchant mill,’’ and could be run
with as liltlo exponse, would bo at
tended with less risk, aud pay much
larger profits than a mill to manufac
ture flour. Millers usually grind
wheat for the eighth, which is twelve
and one-half per cent, whilo cotton
manufactories rualizo, it is said, from
twonty-fivo to fifty por cent for nmo
ufacturiug tho raw material. Why
thou, should so many bo engaged iu
manufacturing Hour when the wheat
crop is so uncertain, and its conver
sion into llour attended with so many
rinks, whilo the manufacture of cot
ton into thread is u busmens which is
much safer uud much more profitable
Tbo question which wo wish our
people to consider is, why not have as
many cotton mills us wheat mills?
What aro the difficulties in tbo way
of the formoi? iu the first place,
cotton of tho host quality can always
bo had to keep a mill constantly run
ning, while it is well known that
wheat is often scarce, and of a very
iuforior quality. Iu tbe secoud place
there is not always a ready marki t
for Hour while the demand lor throul
is always good, aud is constantly in
creasing. lu the third place, cotton
mills would give remunerative em
ployment to a largo and helpline oUna
uf women an«i children iu the country
who find it dificult to mako au honest
support. Aud then, by manufactur
ing our own thread uud cloth from
our own cotton, wo would save to tho
country tho vast amount of profits
which others arc icaliziug on our pro
ductions, while we uru‘kept poor by
our blind policy, or rather by our
want of uny policy at ull.
It is strange that our people can’t
be made to sec what is their interest.
Tho tax act of Ibis your authorizes
the Governor, with tfie assistance of
tbe Comptroll r-Gonorul, to assess
aud levy such a percentage ou tbe tax
able property of the State as will pro
duce the sum of one milliou dollars,
exclusive of specific taxes, provided it
does not exceed four-tenths of one
percent. It has, therefore, beou or
dered, after approximating, as nearly
as possible, the amount iu value of all
property in the Stato subject to tax
ation, as exhibited in tin* tax digest,
that such percentage ad t\ilirum be
assess'd aud, collected on the hi me.
