A Lesson Learned—Mere to Learn.
Savartoah Sews.]
The farmers of the South,taught
hy the bitter experience of recent
years that “all cotton’ f kept most
of them poor, have at length
turned' their energies towards
solving the problem whether the
South could not support herself.
The reward of their labors in the
shape of splendid yields of grain
and other food erops is a sufficient
answerV arid tire Sowth'ern farmer,
who hereafter finds himself at
the dose of a favorable season
dependent upon the granaries- of
the West for supplies, will have
only to blame himself for bis fol
ly. It has been shown, though
thinking people never doubted it
for a moment, that the South can
support herself, and at the same
time produce an ample surplus of
cotton, the profits of which ean
be largely increased hy judicious
managements
Another lesson which the
Southern farmer has yet to learn,
however, is that he should not be
dependent upon the North for
the implements, machinery, and
other accessories that are requir
ed for the cultivation of his land.
Efforts are making at various
points in the South to supply
these articles, and every addi
tional factory erects for their
manufacture is an added factor
in the work of Southern progress,
if farming implements and ma
chinery ean be made at the
North, transported here and sold
at a price satisfactory to the man
ufacturers, there is no reason
why they should not be made
here at a profit sold at
less cost to our farmers. The ma
terials for their construction are
abundant in our section. Skilled
labor can be easily obtained, if
not in sufficient quantity at home,
it can be seeured Irom abroad, if
once need of it is made known.
The fact that the Southern
farmer has made enough from his
land to support his family irom
the labors of the season just dos
ing and with the profit ot his cot
ton will be prepared to enlarge
his operations, is the strongest
argument to induce immigration
that has been advanced in years.
Let the next season make a simi
lar, and, if . possible, a better
showing, aud our waste places
will of necessity fill up. . More
over, let the wonld-be immigrant
know that he will not only find
land here, but also the means to
cultivate it, aud he will be the
more ready to cast his lot with
us.
To many it may appear that
the time is not yet at band for
“new departures.” So thought
the planter, who, for years picked
his cotton and looked to the West
for his stores. Happily he has
changed bis mind aud can now
meditate upon his tolly, with the
calm satisfaction that it will del
uge him no more. This change,
we are happy to believe, has been
brought about largely by the per
sistent efforts of the press, which,
in and out of season, pointed out
to the farmers of the South the
path to true independence. More
remains to be done. The South
has entered upon the high road
to prosperity. Let the press of
the South lose sight of nothing
that will contribute to the in
crease of that prosperity. Our
thriving cotton factories are an
irrefragable argument in them
selves for the diversity of South
ern industries. Those industries
can be varied indefinitely if the
purpose is formed and the will is
shown to have them so.
The South’s one purpose should
be to grow wealty. With wealth
will come power, aud with power
respect. Every .Southerner should
resolve to enhance by his labors
(lie general good. In doing so he
will advance his own well being
and have the satisfaction of
knowing that, however it fared
with himself, his children will
rank in the Republic as did his
fathers. This is the lesson that
confronts the South, and if" re
mains for the press of the South
to enforce it until it shall have
been thoroughly learned.

Rates from Atlanta.
The merchants and manufacl
urers of Atlanta are indebted to
Mr. Joseph M. Brown, general
freight agent of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, for a rate ta
ble that scarcely has am equal m
the country in respect to compre
hensiveness, This table, so fat
as the YWst and Northwest are
concerned, places an Atlanta
merchant or manufacturer in a
position to say jost what he can
sell his goods for, because he can
now ascertain what he can lay
his g-oods down for in 2,000 cen
ters of trade. The merchants ol
many northern cities have long
had access to such information,
but this is the first time that, an
Atlanta merchant could tell a
merchant in Kansas, or Colorado,
or Manitoba, or even Arkansas,
just what he could deliver in his
town a'package or a car load of
goods for. The value of such in
formation is obvious; and we
'hope the excellent work ot Mr.
Brown will be snpplemented by
our other freight managers until
: Atlanta has tables that show the
exact rates on all kinds of freight
to every trade centeT in this
country and Mexico. The West
Point road should give us rites
to the Southwestern country ; the
Centra! road to Florida towns
and the West Indies; the Georgia
road to South Carolina points,and
the great Danville and East Ten
nessee system to all Northeastern
parts, even into Camda. We have
had an abundance of rates to At-
lanta; now let as have rates from
Atlanta. Mr. Brown has begun a
good work, and we hope his co
temporaries will carry it on until
there is no ground left for com
plain!. For it should be under
stood at once that Atlanta pro
poses to sell goods, both of her
own make and other manufacture,
to all America, and she expects
her railroads to afford her the
facilities of the most favored cit
ies. This is a reasonable request,
aDd the railroads that work up to
it will in turn be benefitted by
the rising trade of the most
euergetic and ambitions people in
all the Southern country.— Con

A Sacred Husband.
Marital affection is a beautiful
thing, an'd every fresh exhibition
ol its tenderness and loyalty ef
fects us to tears. A wife—possi
bly an old wife—on a certain oc
casion fell overboard. The hus
band rushed frantically about the
deck, literally tearing his hair
out by the handful aud crying-in
the most beseeching tones, “For
heaven’s sake save her, she is my.
wife.” The noble sailors thought
of their own sweethearts and ran
all risks, and at las^ brought the
poor woman into the cabin of the
swooning husband. The look of
gratitude he gave them fully re
paid them for all their efforts.
Then, recovering his equilibrium,
he thrusts his hands into his
wife’s wet pocket, pulled out a
somewhat plethoric purse, and,
with infinite reply, said : There,
old woman, the next time you
tumble overboard just leave that
purse behind, will yon? You
scared me most to death l -—Ex.

The Yellow Feyer-
Pensacola, Fla., September 6.
One case of yellow fever is re
ported to-day and another to
night, but they will not be offi
cially announced until to-mor
row. Young Frank McOan
naughy has black vomit and will
not probably live through the
night. Several suspicious cases
are under observation and will
be reported when the character
of the disease is more clearly de
fined. This is the ninth day of
the fever and only one case has
been reported in 24 hours.* The
slow progress the feveris making
has restored the confidence evm
of the timid, who were at the bi
ginning alarmed. Precautionary
measures are being incessantly
taken to restrict the progress of
ihe disease. The president of
the board of health, Dr. Hargis,
declared this afternoon that, in
his opinion, in fen days the yel
low fever in Pensacola would be
ia matter of history. A relief
committee hat been organized.—
Constitution.
The upper hold in Nevada:
When he said he had lived in Ne
vada several years, a man who
looked something like a church
member stepped forward and
asked: ‘*My friend, is the Bible
respected in that State?” “Oh,
yes.’’ “Do they have churches ?”
“Plenty of’em.” “And the Lord
rules there as well as in New
Jersey ?” “Well, *1 don’t know
about that,” was the doubtful an
swer. “When I bought mining
stocks for 20 per cent, of their
face value and saw them jump to
50 above par, 1 thought the
Lord had a firm grip on the State;
but again, when 1 struck a silver
mine worth millions in digging
fish bait and sold the whole for a
gallon of whisky which burnt the
soles off my boots, I had a dim
suspicion lhal the devil and Ne
vada were partners in stocking
the cards.”—Wall Street News.

How It Was Done.
“How do you manage," said a
lady to her friend, “to appear so
happy and good natured all the
time ?” “I always have Parker’s
Ginger Tonic handy,” was the re
ply, “and thus keep myself and
family in good health. When I
am well I always feel good nat
ured.”
