In Marietta last Tuesday a meet

l p (iOKH YELLOW PINE.
The Southern Yellow Pine Lum
ber Association had a meeting in
Birmingham last Thursday and
among other things raised the
price ef yellow pine to one dollar
per ljM) feet.
In explaining the reason of this
advance one of the members of the
association said “that though the
prices of lumber in the territory of
the association lias been extremely
low, at sacrifice prices you might
well say, still our condition is not
nearly so bad as that of the mills in
the territory west of the Missis-
sippi river, which is a strong com-;
petitor of ours in many of the lead
ing lumber markets of tin* country.
Tin* low price lots done one thing
from which southern yellow pine
lumber mills will reap large and
material benefits. j
tised tin* pine
’ uTarketsCof the
trade to this section that never
' came in the past. The advertise
ment given us and our mills by the
cut-throat or strangulation prices
which have prevailed for some time
has been of incalculable pecuniary
: benefit to tin* southern trade, and
now that the markets tire open to
i us and orders are pouring in, we
have decided to advance the price.
There is at present a great scarcity
of dry lumber in all markets, and
we will experience no difficulty in
getting tin* prices fixed in our scale,
and then the mills iu the south will
make money, and not have at the
end of the year a long line of old
stumps its the only reminder that
they have been in the business.
Otirs is the ri rvt■ step taki'm in it
movement for a general advance
of prices in yellow pine lumber all
| over the south. Our competitors
; west of the Mississippi some four
| or live weeks ago put up the price
from .fl to *l.f>o per l(KX) feet, anti
if our business is in better condi
tion than theirs anti they could af
ford to make the advance, certainly
w e can profit hy it, too.”
The dirt look for the lumber busi
ness in the south was never better.
Foreign capital is coming this
way and new mills are springing
up till over the land. The markets
have been enlarged and the terri
tory w idened. Yellow pine is found
in this section in exhaust-less quan
tities, and is hound, in the nature
| of things, to be the lumber of Amer
i iea.
terribble accident occurred
HVic. While pulling up thoincline
TOve cable snapped and the ear rush
ed down at a frightful velocity and
live people were clashed to death.
Several others were* hurt.
W 11 V NOT INVITK THH N KtiISOKS?
Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Vermont are now raising the
cry that the farmers are abandon
ing their sterile lands and moving
elsewhere —to the south and west.
To offset this it is proposed to invite
immigration from. European coun
tries, people of all nationalities, to
come in and take up the lands thus
abandoned.
It is hard to understand why they
should go to Europe for settlers,
while here in the south are thous
ands of negroes who could perhaps
he induced to take up these farms
| and move among the people who
profess to love them so well. Why
are not they,too, included in the in
; citation? The press of those states
i has for years declared that they are
mistreated* in the south; that they
were not allowed the freedom of
the ballot box, and were not placed
I on social equality with white people.
And yet when they have the oppor
! (unity to better the condition of
; these down-trodden people and to
place them near at hand, where j
they could hug them to their breasts
j whenever they so desired, they re- j
fuse to make good their many pro
i Cessions of love and devotion. They
call upon the people of Switzerland,
Ireland, Germany, Russia and other
| countries to come in and settle up
their landsf but nary an invite to
,t h > u>ed'( niter l .
The fact of thy matter is, these
people why pc.ofcss to loye the ne
groes of the south so well art* howl
ing demacfogtles. They love them
in the south, hut can make no room
for them in their own section.
The legislature has granted the
charter to the Marietta aud North
Georgia railroad to extend its' line'
to Atlanta. The bill provides that
the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad shall run through the' cen
tral portion of Marietta. l.t shall
not condemn any part of the right
of way of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, and shall run into Atlanta
* upon an independent track,

mi vistkai.i vn I’l.an of voting.
The new Australian plan of vot
' ing is now becoming popular in this
! country. Several states have adopt
ed it, and it is found to work well.
The voter enters agnail booth alone
and prepare his ballot. This i*
aimed to head off the bulldozer and
the briber alike.
Connecticut is one of the states to
adopt the Australian plan, and ;it
the election last week it proved a
great success.
For instance, at Norwich, a great
manufacturing town, the mill own- j
,er> have had everything their own ,
way. If a mill band voted the dem
ocratic ticket he ran the ri-k of be
ing discharged. It was no uncom
mon spectacle in days past to see a
squild of thirty or forty operatives
marshalled up to the polls by an
overseer, whose business it was to
see that the men voted “right,”
or in other words, the way their
employers desired.
The re.-ult is interesting. The
town of Norwich went democratic
for the first time since the republi
can party was organized. The tick
et went through by an average ma
jority of ”>:{<, some of the candidates
winning by .itxt. This is ballot re
form to some purpose, and throws
fa flood of light on republican pro
fessions of their love for free insti
tutions.
It is to be hoped that this plan
will la* generally adopted. The
bulldozers and bribers hove run
jf%ver ilTp emu-1 ry aljp ady leFlong.
A free ballot amW fair count arc
the best safeguards of American
liberties.
Brunswick, not content with send
ing tin* good ship Glynn to the .Ex
position and having the ltiflemen
I on duty there, wanted to complete
its exhibit by sending up it brass
band. They want to show Atlanta
how Brunswick can blow its own
horn.
AN HONOR DECLINED.
Mr. Cleveland declines the proffered
nomination of Tammany Hall to su<*( eed
S. S. Cox in congress. Mr. Cleveland is
too wise to bury himself in the house of
representatives. Montgomery Adver
tiser.
The country has need of the patri
otic services of Grover Cleveland
as president of the (Tnited States.
His splendid administration has not
been forgotten hy people who admire
capable and honest services. From
all parts of the country comes the
clamor of the people for Mr. Cleve
land to again stand for the presi
dency. For this reason alone, he
should, stand aloof from any con
sional entanglements.
But the Express does not agree
with the Advertiser in the opinion
that for Grover Clevland to accept
1 the honor proffered him would vir
tually be bis burial. Air. Cleveland
; is not a man to be buried in any po
| sitioh of life, public or private, that
lie may occupy. His conspicuous
abilities would shine in the house
! of representatives as they do else-
I, where. .
'CroCulent Harrison is devoting
hi.: ~ ft
preparation of his annual message,
rigidly excluding interrupting vis
itors. His message is to be a gen
eral one, covering all executive de
partments, besides his own recom
mendations. Southern men who |
have talked with him are quoted as j
saying that these recommendations
will not include a federal new elec- j
tion law. lie is said to believe that
this would be futile if passed, and
an attempt to pass it simply a
waste of time. His remedy for the j
alleged disfranchisement of the
blacks would be unseating of repre
sentatives in congress elected by
such means.
There are six prisoners in jail at
Birmingham, Ala., under sentence
of death. Nowhere in the south
has more horrible crimes been
committed than around this great
Alabama town, but justice is so
tardy that the perpetrators either
escape altogether or languish in
jail until the public cease to inter
est itself in them or their crimes.
If more examples were made of
the red-handed murderers such
crimes would not he so prolific.
Birmingham owes it to itself to
make law and order more respect
ed hy its “toughs.”
The famous Brooklyn Tabernacle,
of which Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage
is pastor, was last Sunday, for the
second time in history, destroyed
hy fire. The flames were discov
ered at 2:15 a. m., issuing from a
small window over the main en
trance. Engines were called, hut
|tbo tilings had gained such, head
way it was impossible to save the
magnificent structure, which is now
a mass of ruins. The loss will prob
ably he $150,000. The tabernacle
was burned the first time, Decem
ber 22, 1872.
General Chalmers has stepped
down and out as a candidate for
the governorship of Mississippi, but
General Mahone appears to he too
firmly seated on the back of the
Grand Old Party in Virginia to be
tiung aside. The Old Lady arches
iter back, and there is a good deal
of bucking and kicking; but the
little general keeps his place, and
will probably ride the race to a fin
ish. ..The worst of the matter is
that-the. Virginia reprobate is the
more dangerous reprobate of the
two.
A terrible tragedy last Saturday
was the culmination of an old feud
at Varrenton. Major Charles E.
McGregor walked up to James M.
AY. Cody on the street and put three
pistol balls in Hi- body, killing him
instantly. McGregor's friends say
that Cody had previously made a
murderous assault on McGregor.
The latter gentleman was arrested
and is now in jail at Augusta. Both
were men of prominence and the af
fair has created a great sensation.
Even the brazen indifference of
the junior senator from Nebraska
has given way, it appears, before
the storm of public criticism called
forth by the action of the pension
bureau in gratuitously re-rating his
pension and paying to him arrears
amounting to over $6,000. AN hile
reluctantly quitting his hold upon
the money of the people to which
he had no equitable title, Senator
Manderson mistakenly, and with
wretched taste, lias undertaken to
defend the official practices under
which this particular piece of lar
ceny Mas perpetrated in his behalf.
AVhat ails these men, anyway?
Does the pension fever kill the in
stincts of honesty in the human
breast ?
Minnesota lias entered with some
vigor upon the work of suppress
ing and punishing adulterations of
food and driiyk. AVpilo under the
operation of there is
very little salt* butter
and cheese in the state, not much
access bus atte tided the efforts to
arrest frauds in groceries and jn
medicines. The St. Paul Pioneer
Press suggest that the .state an
alysts should publish the names and
address of sellers and manufactur
ers of all adulterated commodities.
Iftiiis should he done the shame
of exposure and the loss of custom
Mould exercise a greater restrain
ing influence than any penalty the
legislature could inflict.
According to the Hon. C. R.
Breckenridge, the democratic rep
resentitives in congress Mill make
no factious opposition to republi
can legislation within the scope
of constitutional limitation. There
M ill he no trouble in getting a vote
on any tariff bill upon which the
administration forces may agree,
but any such measure will be thor
oughly debated and under the lead
ership of Mr. Carlisle the democrat
ic opposition will be as farmidable
in point of fairness as in the skill
ful presentation of the arguments
against objeetional propositions.
Since the Ist of September there
have been five deaths from alter
nating currents in New York city
alone, and fifteen accidental deaths
from contact witli electric wires
outside of that city, nine of which
Mere caused by alternating elec
tric currents. AA'hile this fatal
record does not settle the question
of the cruelty involved in the ex
ecution of a man by electricity, it
should be at least a conclusive ar
gument against the delay in put
ting the overhead wires under
ground.
It is announced on seemingly
competent authority that the mem
bers of the Pan-America congress
who are visiting the more impor
tant tmvns and cities in the nor
thern states are not to he denied the
opportunity of seeing the towns
and cities of the South under
equally favorable, auspicies. This
is right. It would have been a stu
pid blunder to show the visitors
one-half of the country and ask
them to guess at the progress and
capabilities of the other half.
Some of the republican organs
are detirmined to get consolation
out of the Montana election. They
say that “Montana is half and half
—the democrats get the governor
ship and the legislature, and the
republicans the congressman.”
This is an unequal division. On
the one side, a democratic governor,
a democratic legislature, and two
democratic United States senators;
on the other, a republican congress
man. The republican organs are
anxious to he consoled.
During the eight months ended
August 31, 1889, the immigration
of the Europeans to the United
State M’as 1(H),000 less than during
thq same period of 1888. The ques
tion of foreign immigration to this
country is rapidly working out its
own solution Mithout the interven
tion of congress. AA'hile European
movement to tiiis country is thus
rapidly declining, there is a strong
increase in the emigration from
Spain and Italy to South America.
A special grand jury in Chicago
has found six indictments against
parties accused of attempted jury
fixing in behalf of the suspects in
4he Cronin case, and there are inti
mations of a Conspiracy involving
officials of the court, the object
being to secure a “hung jury.” If
the audacious plot should result in
stead in the hanging of the suspects
it Mould not be surprising.
The French government may not
be the most perfect establishment
in the world, hut it kpows hM* to
deal with trusts. The rousing fine
imposed upon the scamps Mho
managed the great copper syndi

business in France during the life
time of a generation.

M. Eiffel, of Eiffel fame,
has expressed his opinion concern
ing the possibility of Molding in
New York a higher towed than that
at Paris. He says that**ijhe Amer

tious to possess a toujß 1,500 or
2,000 feet nigh they to
provide the funds, and phe struct
ure M ill spring from the Wound in

have to be exercised in tlw* selection
of a suitable site, as upon this would
very largely depend the liability of
the structure.
Now this from an Ajflania paper
is just too mean: “The Georgia pa
pers are weeping large M’eeps on
the pathos of Uncle Ben Duggar’s
farewell to the legislature. ‘You
won’t see Uncle Ben in his place

said, ‘I am going Jfl9j* to die.’

$50,000 For a Hook by Jay Gould.
[Philadelphia' Times.]
I chanced to see a few days ago,
r a letter written by Vme of our large
publishing houses addressed to Jay
Gould, in which the offer, was made
of $50,000 cash and a royalty of 40
per cent, on all copies that would
be sold of the book, for a volume of
reminiscences to be written hv the
noted financier. I say “written” —
I should have said “dictated,” for
the use of a competent steno
grapher was included in the offer.
But a proposition involving $50,000
is probably a very insignificant
matter In Mr. Gould’s eyes, and he
has as yet not even ventured a re
ply to the letter. Only a Compara
tively few people know that Air.
Gould is already the author of a
book. It is true the work never
had a general sale, hut for,all that
the last copy sold at auction brougt
S4O, and there are.several Standing
offers in the hands of bid-hook
dealers for copies whenever obtain
able. But Mr. Gould nek-er felt
proud, it is said, of bis “History of
Delaware County, N. Y.,” and it is
largely through his own efforts that
the book has been extinguished.
Yet those who have read The vol
ume pronounce it of more than av
erage literary merit in its [general
style. * j

Mr. Blackwell, with the pastor,
Rev. Alf Buford, who are doing
their utmost to revive the church
and bring sinners within the fold.
Rev. Mr. Pickett has been grossly
misrepresented. He preaches his
doctrine and uses argument and
not abuse, to support his views. He
don’t abuse other denominations,
but endeavors to win them to his
church with brotherly love. He is
a preacher of note, and stands high
with his denomination. There is
Considerable feeling pervading the
members, and many sinners peni
tetent are seeking the priceless
boon. May tiie good work go on
until all the unransomed hosts are
within the fold.
We regret to state that Mr. John
P. Stegall is still confined to his
bed, being seriously ill. We hope
he may speedily have a change for
the better and occupy his usual
place among the active citizens of
his little burgh.
We are glad that the Farmers’
Alliance of Emerson is on a boom.
They are to have a meeting next
Saturday at 2 p. m.
“Possum and pertater” is the pre
vailing provision provided for per

A CONVERT TO BLDDIIiSM.
Ceremonies of Receiving an American
Into the Godless Church.
[London Times.] f
Recent Ceylon papers contain ac
counts of a remarkable ceremony
which took place recently in Colom
bo. This was the reception of a gen
tle from America, who lately ar
rived in Ceylon, into the Buddhist
creed.
The procedings took place under
the directions of the Buddhist hign
priest, assisted by eleven yellow
robed monks. The convert knelt
before the assembled priests and
intimated his desire to be admitted
a member of the Buddhist church.
The high priest then catechised
him and the assembled monks sat
isfied themselves that he was fit
ted to be a follower of Buddah. The
gentleman, whose name was Poweil,
then begged of the high priest “to
give him the Pansil,” winch the
latter did, the candidate repeat
ing it after him with the palms
of the hands brought together up
lifted. Having explained to the
convert the reasonable duties of a
Buddhist, the high priest gave
him his blessing. A meeting was
afterward held, at which Mr. Row
ell explained his reasons for having
embraced Buddhism and described
the mental process which lie bad
gone through before lie arrived at
the conviction of its truth.
It appears that nearly forty years
ago, when he was a child, he came
across a book in his father’s library
in which was a picture. It was the
figure of Buddha seated in the con
ventional attitude on a lotus. Im
4>ressed byAhe. expression <>X lienee
and love on the fact', Mr. Powell
got in the habit of going nearly ev
ery evening to a room to sit in a
position as nearly like it as he pos
ibly could. “On asking who or
what picture it was ,” Air. Powell
said, “I was told that it was the
picture of a heathen god, but its
memory clung to me, and when I
heard its name I never forgot ii,
but learned later what the 1 symbol
was and its meaning.” Being as
he said, naturally of a religious
turn of mind, and being intended
by his father to be a clergyman
Mr. Powell was well educated in
the Christian doctrine. “But 1 rec
ognized and felt that there must
he some law that 1 could work
out myself, and that if 1 controlled
my thoughts my life manifested
an obedience, to that power; but
it was long before 1 recognized
that this was the ‘law of right
thought.’” At one time he appears
to have sought a refuge in agnos
ticism, but soon after he abanbon
ed tins mental attitude, and a pe
rusal of “The Bight of Asia”
aroused in him the desire to take
refuge in the law of Lord Buddha.
Bartow’s Display the Rest.
To tlie Editor of The Exprc ss:
We are told every day that Bar
tow county’s exhibit at the Exposi
tion is the most complete in all its
arrangements as an exhibit of the
various resources of the county, of
any county having a display at tin*
Exposition. Still we are not able to
secure the prize, on account of the
ruling out of everything not per
taining to an agricultural display.
There is no doubt that two counties
have a better agricultural display
than Bartow; hut when Floyd coun
ty is given the first prize for a coun
ty display made by two individuals
we cannot see the justice of it. As
we understand it, the county dis
play should be made by farmers
and farmers’ alliances from over
the county, and not by one or two
men from products of their individ
ual farms. We claim that they are
entitled to prizes for individual dis
plays, but not to prizes on a county
display, under such conditions.
This is one of the things that no
man can account for, except those
interested.
Bartow county has gathered lip
her display from all over the coun
ty, and that, too, within five weeks
before the opening of the Exposi
tion, while these individual displays
that these parties have been collect
ing for nearly a year have taken
the county prize. We defy Floyd
or any other county to collect a bet
ter exhibit as a whole from all over
the county. We are not on exhibi
tion for the prize exclusively, hut
to show up our great resources, and
no other county has done as well as
the people of this county have done,
taking for granted what disinterest
ed parties have said in regard to
the Bartow county exhibit.

[Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.]
The Atlanta folks make such a
fuss over the Exposition that L told
my folks I would run down as a
scout and reconnoiterand come back
and report, and now they arc worse
off than ever, for it is a good show,
and I hud to tell the truth about it.
It is a good show. The exhibit from
our own county of Bartow is a show
of itself, and well worth the time
and money it takes to see it. The
minerals are just splendid, and
ought to be, for everybody knows
that this county is the richest in
mineral wealth of any county in the
limits of the American union. But
we are not vain or covetous about
that. Let the people look at our
agricultural products. Look at those
thirteen pumpkins that grew on
one vine and weigh 700 pounds, and
there are seven more on the vine
that are green, and they will weigh
300 pounds more. One thousand
pounds of pumpkins on one vine,
and it didn’t grow on Pumpkin
Vine creek, either. Look at our
samples of corn and wheat and oats i
and potatoes. We didn’t send any
thing but samples. Some counties
sent all they had, hut we didn’t.
This is the banner county for grain,
as will he seen in the last census re
ports. Our town of t'artersville
was named for old Sam Carter, who
raised so many oats—so' many that
lie couldn’t find room enough in his
field to shock ’em all after lie had
cut ’em, and had to shock about
half in another .field, and so when a
fellow has got a heap of anything
lie says lie has got as many as Car
ter had oats. What a pity we
couldn’t take down a slice of our
rivers and let those Atlanta people
see what a river is, and if we could
only transplant one of our magnifi
cent springs that comb gushing
from the rocks in silver streams
big enough to turn a mill. It is
right pitiful to see those Atlanta
people dancing around that little
Ponce de Leon that is about big
enough to water the chickens in,
and yet they call it it spring. Oh,
my, I wish we could take down one
of our mountains and some of the
life-giving atmosphere that sur
rounds it from base to pinnacle.
But it is a blessed tiling that such
things can’t he moved, otherwise
we would have lost evt-rytiling when
Sherman’s hummers when through.
But we are not vain. We are only
content with our country-and what
God has given her. As Daniel Web
ster said of Massachusetts, “there
she is—look at her.” We could have
made a bigger spread, lint our coun
ty commissioners got scared and
wouldn’t give a dollar to work with.
They said they were afraid some
body would find out what we had
and swindle us out of it. But look
at Floyd and Whitfield and Polk
and Talbot and Jones and many
others that are nearly as good as
Bartow. It is enough to make a
Georgian proud.
