And farther, as the subscription list of the News is increas ing very rapidly in our own county, we also republish the Presentments of the Grand Ju ry at tin? extra Court last week. Many per sons called for papers after the edition had given out—hence the inducement to rc-pub lish. "What Manufacturing Doesl” The last issue of the News contained a short article with the above “ heading,” as our readers will at once recollect. And the subject is only reverted to at this time for the purpose of inciting some of the good citizens of Jackson to furnish us with such facts and statistics concerning the water-powers, the number of mills of every description, and indeed, all and singular the advantages for manufacturing purposes afforded in the coun ty. We most respectfully ask this favor be cause of our own lack of information oh these points—being an entire stranger, compara tively speaking, in all the regions hereabouts. We have learned—with gratification, too— since our advent in Jackson, that for some years past, there has been quite an addition to the population of this county b} r an influx or “moving in” from adjoining and other counties. So far so goo 1. Let the work go “bravely on!” But let the people from abroad—not adjoining counties alone—but from other States—see something of the na tural advantages, the mineral resources, the superiority of climate and water, the fertility of soil, &e., and for “ old Jackson” we pre dict a bright future indeed. Give us the facts, good friends, and let the world at large see that there is no necessity of “going west” or hunting up a “ land flowing with milk and honey” outside the limits of the “ Empire State,” or even outside of our own county—“ the land of the free and the home of the brave l 1” Too Poor to Take a Newspaper. An anecdote is told of a farmer going one day to the office of a New York journal and ordering his paper stopped, because he was too poor to take it any longer. “ Suppose we make a bargain,” said the editor, “in this way. Go to your home and select a hen that shall be called my hen ; sell the eggs that the hen lays during the year, and send the proceeds t o me as your subscrip tion for the paper.” The farmer was pleased at so easy a way 1o pay for his paper, and readily consented. Ihe result was, that during the year the hen paid for the paper twice its regular price of subscription. This is by no means a pure fiction, for the same may be true in a great multitude of cases. Almost every one wastes and throws away more than enough money during the year to got a weekly newspaper that would furnish him with intellectual food, and keep him posted in the busy, stirring events of the day. A very small retrenchment in the luxuries that almost every one indulges in would se cure a daily visitor full of gossip about the doings of the great world around us ; full of stirring events in the history that is even day being made in our country, and full of useful general information, and facts in liter ature. science, and art. Besides, it is the duty of the people to support the press, for it has always stood as a grand bulwark be tween them and political and military op pression ; it lias sounded the notes of warn ing that has often aroused them to action : it has stripped the borrowed cloak from cor ruption and venality ; ti high places, and showed them in all their deformity, and is to day the great friend of education, justice, re ligion. and peace. The press speaks every where, at all times, carrying light in places where otherwise perpetual darkness would reign. And when we remember what the world would be without the press—how dark ness, ignorance, viee and oppression would flourish unopposed, let no one any longer say that he is too poor to take a newspaper.” — Exchange, When Andy Johnson is called on to send to the various historical and memorial asso ciations, now engaged in reproducing centen nial memories and virtues, any curious or historical paper or other memorial of ancient times, the solidly practical, hard-headed sena tor coolly encloses an old edition of the feder al constitution, minus the gorgeous amend ments. Nobody ever before suspected that the illustrious ex-president was a little joker. And it i3 no joke. To have one's sugar whitened with the bones of compatriots, is a novel and perhaps economical way of doimg things, but such seems to be the practice in France. They have formed a factory for the manufacture of animal charcoal at Metz, which is supplied with bones from the adjacent battle fields. This product is used in refining sugar. I i Success depends upon a liberal patronage of printing offices.—.l .7 Asior. PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. We publish the following extract just as a great many other matters are published.— Not that we endorse ail that is said, but with the hope, if there are any errors and im perfec- ions in this, as there are. doubtless, in many of the “Systems” under onr new •• mtji that discussion and investigation may have the proper tendency to bring them to light, in order that they may be corrected. There are, we very much fear, too many drones in the hive, who now manipulate the various “Bureaus” and “Systems” under the present management of the affairs of State. “The people” are receiving too small a quid pro quo for the enormous sums paid out in the way of “heavy taxes” to stand idly and silently by and see their hard-earned means squandered in the maintenance of “ Systems” and organizations that do no good only to the few whose pockets and stomachs are filled at the expense of their fellow-citizens. Again, we repeat, we publish the extract just as we find it. and let it go for what it is worth. The subject under discussion is one of importance to all; therefore, we say give us light on this as on all kindred subjects. rrnuc School System. —Under this head, the Meriwether County Vindicator says : The State School Commissioner is publish ing a.series of rose-colored articles in the leading daily papers of the State in defence of his pet system of so-called public schools. From the earnestness of the writer one would imagine that, like Demetrius, the maker of shrines for the goddess Diana, during St. Paul's visit to Ephesus, he fears his system is in danger to be set at naught, and that he hopes by long articles and much praise of his idol to secure public approval in its behalf. Owing to some defect somewhere, scarcely anything has been done for the advancement of education under the present law. The Commissioner Says the plan is right, and if the Legislature would only levy taxes heavy enough , success would be certain. Just here we may say our taxes are already enormous, people who have lost nine-tenths of their property paying double as much on the re maining one-tenth as they did on the whole in former times. So, unless a more econom ical system can be devised, ve have not much to hope from “ Free Schools.” The Consti tution says there shall be a thorough system of general education provided, to be forever free to all children of the State. For two years the Commissioners plan has been in operation, and yet the “public schools” have been free only in name, as every patron knows, since each one has had to pay the major part of tuition due for the three months lie has patronized these schools. The Com missioner and his clerks draw their full sala- ries. but the patrons pay nearly full price when they patronize public schools. A thorough system truly, working justly and harmoniously. Under this much lauded sys tem teachers are selected, not by the patrons, but by the County Board of Education. The selections by the Board of our county have been made in all cases of teachers who were desired by the residents and patrons of each school established, but this law may interfere with the right of a community to select their own teacher just as it makes it the duty of the County Board to prescribe the books ne cessary to be used. \Ye hold that even patron and every teacher has a right to op pose the introduction of all school books that contain any real or fancied objectionable fea tures. As long as the State cannot prescribe the Hymn book, Bible or Ritual used in our churches, neither she nor her agents have the right to say wliat books shall be used in our schools. Attention is called to these two features in the law, especially as we notice that a Mr. Roberts, at a recent Teachers’ Convention held in Griffin, advocated com pulsory education. Under our school law this would force a parent to send his child to school, though he might dislike both the teacher and the books. In many States an officer is paid to hunt up and arrest children who fail to attend school, the parent being fined or imprisoned for the child’s absence. This penalty is inflicted although the parent, in the exercise of a natural right, kept his child from a school that was objectionable to him. Let not a wild zeal for public schools induce our people to fasten a system on the country both onerous and tyrannic. IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS. Commissioner Atkinson has issued a cir cular of instructions for the guidance of exam ining surgeons, which gives many new and specific directions looking to the discovery of existing frauds and the prevention of new ones. Among the new instructions are the fol lowing: Biennial examinations of army and navy pensioners are now required by section 4 771 of the Revised Code to be made on every odd year, the next being due Sept. 4. 1875. At these examinations it is the primary ob ject to determine whether the disability still exists in the degree at which the pensioner is being paid. If, however, the disability shall have increased or if anew disability unmis takably dependent upon the original disability shall be found, it should be described and rated. No claimant for an original pension, lor aiifincrease, or for a renewal or restoration, should be examined excepting upon the order at this office. Examinaton before payment— i. e. an examination required by the law on the terms of the certificate—may be made without the order of the office. In no case should an examinaton be made at the request of a probable or possible claimant, the object of which is to secure the opinion of the surgeon whether an application could or could not be sustained. The same rule applies also to an examination to determine if the character of the disability might not exempt a pensioner from biennial examination. In either of these cases the surgeon applied to should express no opinion, but simply refer the per son to this office, which, upon the receipt of the application, will direct such action as may be necessary. The fall convention of the State Agricul tural Sociey will beheld in Dalton, beginning Tuesday, August 10th, 1875, and continuing three days. The delegates returned by the comity societies for the spring convention will lie considered the regular delegates to the coming convention, and railroad passes will be issued in their names. A duly appointed alternate may. however, take the place of a principal. All county societies that have not returned the names of their delegates, should do so before the twentieth da}’ of July. We hope every county will lie represented in a meeting that promises to be one of the most useful and interesting in the history of the society.— At. Const. What has become of the Jackson county Clubs ? Wake up, gentlemen, jmd have your names jn.tr.,l at Dalton 1 “The Forest News.” We* have received the first number of a pa per bearing the above title, issued at Jelfer son. published by “the Jackson County Pub lishing Company;” Malcorn Statford, manag ing and business editor. Terms, two dollars per annum. Trie “News” is a very handsome sheet in its general “ make-up.” as it is obliged to be I under the management of Mr. Stafford, and this, although very important, is not its only recommendation. It is filled with interesting reading matter—good, substantial matter, not sensational. Having known the managing editor, (who has been employed in our office most of that time.) about a quarter of a cen tury. we take pleasure in commending him and his paper to the patronage of the public —having ever found him a true man, and one well qualified to conduct any department of newspaper work.— Southern Watchman. Thank you, Colonel, for the flattering and complimentary manner in which you are pleased to speak of us and the News. We have had various and numerous suggestions made by friends whose good will we highly appreciate, in regard to publishing our paper. Our own humble opinion is, that a country paper should not “run” on the “sensational” schedule. It is true, as our worthy corres pondent, “ Puck.” intimated last week, there should be a certain amount of “ spice and ginger” in its “ general get-up.” To borrow the idea and use the “ slang expression” of a friend who has “ passed over the river,” and whose “ like” we shall never again behold— as a “ dash” of good cognac brandy adds (in the estimation of some) to the flavor and gives “ body” to a glass of lemonade, so docs a certain amount of light matter —facts and fancies —humorous tales and amusing anec dotes give a “flam” to the contents of the country newspaper. But there is great dan ger of going too far—of making the “draught” I unpalatable—especially when we take in ? consideration the taste and disposition of a | ma jority of the readers of such a journal.— The “sensational” schedule may do very well i for thej* fast-going” and “ fast-living” people of large towns and cities ; but the conviction has always forced itself on our mind that “the People,” the real “yeomanry” of the land, need just such “ food” for their minds j and thoughts as they do for their bodies— , that is, something good, wholesome and solid. ! Moody and Sankey. Treating of these great revivalists who are exciting so much attention in England, the New York Trihune thus discourses : The interest of these masses of well cloth ed and ragged Londoners can he explained by the simple fact that there is nothing after all so interesting to any man as religion ; the position of his own soul before God. The people being the same and the gospel the same, we think it would be worth while for the clergy here as well as in England to try to find out why these masses choose to hear the gospel from the American revivalist rath er than from men who otfer it with exactitude of doctrine and in chaste and scholarly lan guage. Wiiv do the great audiences about Spurgeon and others, whom Christians of refinement shrink from as unorthodox, and too often, blasphemous and vulgar? Not, we are sure, because of their heterodoxy, blas phemy or vulgarity ; but because these men make of religion a real every-day matter.— They may degrade Christ by their familiarity but lie is at least a live man in their talk— here, walking at our side to-day. Mr. Moody, in his earnest, simple stories and queer illus trations. sees, hears and feels Him. That is what the people want—all the people—the scholar and the prince, as well as the beggar. Not doctrines, not beautiful theories, but a Christ—a religion which can be an actual everv-day matter, as real as the money which tempts them to wrong doing, or the molecules out of which science makes a world for them in which there is no God. Certain spiritually minded people, especially the clergy, do not need such sermons as Moody's to bring Christ before them, and to them, then, the sermons are useless. But they should remember in how small a minority they are, and try to borrow the secret of the success of these men when they preach the Gospel to the majority. The personal appearance of the pair is thus described: Mr. Moody, the evangelist, is described as a tluck-set man, about five feet eleven, with a dark, full beard, high cheek bones, sunken eyes and square forehead, and is said to re sembles slightly the late E. M. Stanton. Mr. Sankey is taller and better-looking than his comrade, with a younger face, a large mous tache and a well-shaved chin, with English side-whiskers, lie is described as looking like a well-conditioned opera singer. An ingenious Device. A capillary correspondence was recently attempted between a noted Parisian thief in durance vile and his comrades outside. The prisoner was sent a letter from his fiancee containing merely a lock of hair wrapped in the leaf of a book. The jailor did not con sider the souvenir important enough to be delivered, but a few days after came a simi lar enclosure, and yet another. This arous ed suspicion, and the Governor took the matter in hand. He examined the leaf of the book. It was only that of a common novel, twenty-six lines on a page. Then he studied the hair, and noticed the small quan tity of the gift. Counting the hairs, he found them unequal lengths, and twenty-six in num ber. the same as the lines of the page. Struck with the coincidence, he laid the hairs along the lines of the page which they respectively reached, beginning at the top with the small est hair. After some trouble he found that the end of each hair pointed to a different letter, and that these letters combined form ed a slang sentence, which informed the prisoner that his friends were on the watch, and that the next time he left the prison to be examined an attempt would l>e made to rescue him. The Governor laid his plans accordingly, the attemp at rescue was made, but the rescuers fell into their own trap. Frequent and constant advertising brought me all I own.—A. T. Stewart. The Story of Trion. SUCCESSFUL COTTON MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH. If any argument were necessary to prove that the manufacture of cotton goods can be made very profitable in the South, Trion fac tory furnishes the premises and conclusion of such argument. This factory was located midway between Rome, Ga., and Chatta nooga. and about forty-four miles from each place. These were its only markets, and they only accessible to it by railroad. From one or the other it drew its supplies of raw mate rial and povisions, and then hauled back the manufactured goods to market. And Trion enriched its owners—was one of the most profitable manufacturing investments in the country. When the old factory burned down, several months ago, the proprietors hardly allowed the ruins to cool till they were among them clearing away to make place for larger and more extensive structures. The new fac tory will be ready for operation in September, equipped throughout with new and improved machinery, and on a much more extensive scale than of old. This looks like business ; shows that Messrs. Marsh & Allgood not only know how to conduct the business, but are possessed of that public spirit and enter prise necessary to combat obstacles and wrench victory from defeat. To induce them to rebuild on the old ground, the well-to-do far mers of the neighborhood and others having small savings, invested it in the new enter prise, and thus were these gentlemen en abled to stand the loss of one factory and build another without borrowing a dollar, and without going out of their own neighborhood for additional capital. This shows that they deserve to succeed; that they possess the entire confidence of those who know them best.— Chat. Com. Now, there are scattered all through North east Georgia, and more especially in the count}' of Jackson, water-powers equal, and in many instances, no doubt, far superior to that which, it seems, has been of such vast benefit to Trion and its vicinity. And it is no argument to plead that we are so distant from railroad facilities. Trion, it appears— for we really do not know—is many miles from any railroad, depending largely on Chattanooga, 44 miles distant, for a market. But to come nearer home. High Shoals, in an adjoining county, illustrates our point. This factory is some 16 or 18 miles from any mar ket town, and yet it does a thriving business. To conclude, therefore, let the owners of wa ter-powers and mill-sites call attention to their property and its advantages through the proper channel, and thereby induce capital to seek a place amongst us, then will our people be among the happiest on earth, and this, the “ Eden” of our proud old Commonwealth, be in perpetual bloom. Storms I The recent terrible clyclones in Georgia (says the Columbus Sun,) have strongly di rected public inquiry to the cause of these fearful phenomena of nature. The theory of Prof. Broun and others, that they result from a natural tendency to restore an equilibrium in the atmostphere, and that this equilibrium is destroyed by sudden changes from cold to heat, and vice versa —is generally accepted as the most plausible, if not demonstrably correct. But it is still lacking in the particu larity that will enable people to discern con dition likely to [produce such atmospheric changes, and to judge from the appearance of a cloud or clouds the character of an ac companying wind storm. A book on this subject has lately been published by Wilhelm Blasius, a German professor of natural science, that may afford some assistance in observations of thic kind. Prof Blasius has spent some time in the United States. lie classifies storms and their characteristic clouds as follows: 1. Local or Vertical Storms. —Stationary. Centripetel. Produced by a tendency of the atmosphere to re-establish in a vertical direc tion an equilibrium that has been disturbed. Characteristic Cloud —Cumulus. 2. Progressive or Leteral Storms. —Trav- eling. Produced by a tendency of the at mosphere to re-establish in a lateral direction an equilibrium that lias been disturbed. They arc of two kinds : ( a) Equatorial or Northeast Storms. — Winter storms. Produced by a warm current displacing a cool one to supply a deficiency toward the poles. Temperature changing from cool to warm. Direction to the north eastern quadrant. — Characteristic Cloud — Stratus. ( h )' Polar or Southeast and Southwest Storms —Summer storms. Produced by a cool current displacing a warm one to supply a deficiency towards the equator. Tempera ture changing from warm to cool. Direction to the southern semi-circle. —Characteristic cloud Cummuio-Stratus. 3. Loco-Progressive or Diagonal Storms —.Traveling locally. Rotary (tornadoes, hail-storms, sand-storms, water-spouts, etc.) Produced by a tendency of the atmosphere to re-establish the ebuilibrum of a polar storm which has been disturbed in the plane of meeting by a peculiar confirigration of the ground. Direction, the diagonal of the for ces of the two opposing currents tranversely through the polar storm. Characteristic Cloud —Cirrus. The Voice of Christianity. WITAT PREVENTED ANOTHER AVAR BETAVEEN FRANCE AND GERMANY. Mr. Edward Jenkins, M. P., in a recent ad dress in London, mentioned as an illustration of the power and influence of Christianity, the prevention of war within the past few weeks between France and Germany. “When,” said he, “Prince Bismarck’s determination became known to stop the preparations going on in France, and to crush her once more by sending German troops across the Rhine, did the nations of Europe stand forth and protest against such an outrage, and intimate that they would stand by France rather than see her crushed? No. What was it, then, that pre vented the catastrophe of another European war? A simple circular was sent from Lon don, pleading on behalf of truth, justice, peace, and Christianity, and the simple cir cular went the round of the courts of Europe, and did more to prevent that impending war than the words and action of any foreign po tentate. Such a result would not have fol lowed in olden times, and its success in these days was due to the fact that the influences of Christianity had deeply penneated society, and men were more and more applying its principles, not only in their own affairs, but to home and international politics.” J.

EXAMPLE OF THE BELGIANS NEED OF TER SONAL AND INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRY. Much has been wisely said and written upon the propriety of small farms, and the superior profit to be derived from them. And practicing upon this theory, we find the as tute Hardaway growing rich on fifteen acres, the products of which, by good management he multiplies into the amount visually grown upon tiventy times the same area. But it appears that in Belgium, even the Lilliputian plantation of the ThomasviUe farmer, is subdivided into fifteen parts, of one acre each, which are respectively made to support one family, and the hired laborer besides. Describing these miniature farms, a writer in “ Chambers' Journal'' says “ the fields are mostly square, ajid rarely contain more than one acre ; the ground is curved symmetrical ly, the centre being the highest, so that the water drains do .vn equally in all directions. Round the field, and a foot lower, extends a a strip of grass, three or four yards wide ; still lower, a hedge of elders is planted, which is cut every seven years ; and, finally, the plat is surrounded by a ditch, bordered with trees of larger growth. Tims each piece furnishes rich grass, firewood, every seven years, and timber for building every thirty years. The plow is generally used, but every seven years the subsoil is turned to the top by the spade, and thus it acquires a depth unknown to all but the best gardeners ; the principal object being to produce flax and butter, not cereals.” But our freedmen lead lives of ease and plenty, compared with the hard lot of the laborer and man of all work on the Belgian farm. Earning oft times not as much as one shilling per day, their food is meagre, and of the coarsest description. It consists of beans, potatoes, rye bread, and chickory as a drink. Only on Sunday or a Fair day does he get beer, and meat never. Yet Belgium supports the densest population in Europe, and her people resemble the occu pants of a bee-hive. Every inch of ground is utilized and brought to the highest possi ble state of fertility, and thousands of acres are even reclaimed from the briny deep by the huge dikes which patient toil and indus try have erected. We trust Georgia may never lie so crowd ed as to reduce her people to such straights, but still the lesson is useful to us showing what can be accomplished by a veil directed industry. And it is now an admitted fact that small farms well cultivated, fenced and fertilized, are vastly more profitable proportionally than those of large extent. It requires double the mule and manual labor to cultivate one hundred acres, that would suffice for fifty, and yet by concentrating the manure used for the former upon the smaller area, nearly twice the yield can be realized, and the land at the same time will steadity improve. Who, it may be asked, are really the only thrifty and progressive agriculturists of Georgia ? We answer, those land-owners who, with their sturdy sons, bear the brunt and heat of the season, and with their own brawn and muscle cultivate, harvest and en joy the proceeds of their labors. These men raise their own beef, butter, mutton, bacon and vegetables, and oft times, also sugar, syrup, rice and flour. Moreover, their sur plus land, if not advantageously rented, is used for pasturage, or allowed to grow up and recuperate. They are even ready, also, to sell to the thrifty white imigrant, and thus enhance the taxable and productive A'alues of the country. This assertion Are are prepared to prove by the evidence of hundreds of small farmers, whereas, those cultivating large plantations, with exceptional and almost solitary, in stances to the contrary, make grieA'ous fai lures, and grow poorer every year. Let us eumlate the Belgian, therefore, and force mother earth by kind treatment and tire less energy to yield her utmost forthe sup port of those who draw their sustenance from her generous bosom. —Tel $ Mess. If eA’ery man will turn his attention to his farm or whatever his business may be, says a correspondent of the Summerville Gazette , and stick closely to it for about five Aveeks, meanwhile saying and thinking as little as possible about other things, Granvil is of the opinion that times will change, and there will be a prospect for the bottom cracks in many corn cribs to show less daylight during the year to come.
