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 cate will discourage that sort of business in France during the life time of a generation. Bartow county has certainly the best exhibit of minerals at the Ex position. All are unanimous In the opinion that the county M ill take the blue riblton on this display.

Of course great tjire would 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 again when the roll hfßalled,’ he said, ‘I am going Jfl9j* to die.’ Really, we don’t in tiiis to cry about, as afttr belong ing for one term to an average Georgia legislature about the most graceful and tin* ‘legislater man’ caniJSQis to go home and die.” It is stated by no less ao authori ty than the Engineering* and Min ing Journal 'that only t\jro pounds of tin have been discovered in Da kota, and that by means of this two pounds weight of tin millions of capital have been raised in the United States, England aid France for the purpose' of wotking the mines.

[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.

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.
