CARROLLTON. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 10 1884.
“BOY WANTED.”
1 1 cople laughed when they saw
Cie sign again. It seemed to be
r always in Mr. Peter’s window,
i iGr a day or two some times for
an nour or two, it would be mis
, >dig, and passers-by would wonder
whether Mr. Peters had at last I
found a boy to suit him; but so >:i
. er or later, it was sure to appear
again.
' What sort of a boy doe.- he want,
one and another would
ask, and then they would say to
each othe" that they supposed he
was looking for a perfect boy, and
in tneir opinion, he would look a
good while before he found one.
Not that there were not plenty of
boys— as many as a dozen used
sometimes to appe; r in the course
of the morning, trying for the sit
uation. Mr. Peters was said to be
rich and queer, and, for qne or
both ol these reasons, boys wore
very anxious to suit him. ‘All
he wants is a boy to rim errands;
it must be easy work and sure
pay. 1 his was the way they
talked to eipdi other. But Mr.
Peters wanted mere than a bc-y to
run errands. John Si.Hinons
found that our. and this was t;c
way he did it. He had been en
gaged that very morning, and had
been kept busy enough all the
forenoon a pleasant enouj/h work,
and although he was a lazy fellow,
he rather enjoyed the place. It
was toward the middle of the after- f
noon that he was sent up to the
attic, a dark, dingy place, jnliabi.
ted by mice and cobwebs.
‘A on 11 find a long, deep box
there,” said Mr. Peters, “that I
want to have put in order, It
stands right in the middle of the
room; jou can't miss it.”
John looked doleful. “A long
deep box! I should think it
he told himself, as the attic door
closed after him. “It would weigh
most a ton I guess; but what is
there m it? Nothing in the world
but old nails, and screws and pieces
of iren, and broken keys and things;
rubbish, the whole of it! Nothing
wort'n touching, and it is as dark as
pocket up here, and cold besides;
these knot holes! There is a mouse!
If there is anything 1 hate it’s
mice! I'll tell you what it is: If
old Peters thinks I'm going to
stay up here ami tumble over his
rusty nails, lie’s much mistaken.
L wasn't hired for that kind of
work.”
Whereupon John bounced down
the attic stairs, three at a time, and
was found lounging in the show
window half an hour afterwards,
when Mr. l?et- rs appeared.
“Haye yqq pill that Vqx in cy
der, already?” Was the geqtle
m-m’s question,
1 didn’t find anything to put in
order; there was nothing in it but
nails an I things.''
“Exactly. It was the nails and
things that I wanted put in order,
did you do it?' 1
No, Sir. It was dark and cold
up there, and 1 didn't see anything
worth doing; besides, J tboi-gl t I
wa hireq i<, r.tiU qiTaqdt;. A
M)b’” said' Mr. Peters, “I
thought you were hired to do as.
you were told.” But he smiled
pleasantly enough, and at once
I o-ave John an errand io de down
toy. in MvViht. boy wi.iit oft chuck*
. ling, declurhtg to himsolf that he
knew how to manage the old fellow;
I all it needed was a little standing
up for your l ights.
Precisely at six o'clock John was
; called and oa'ed t-. ; e *nm pgotn if
ped him pot a day-- work, and
; tq his. hv Was toi l
I {lint hfu services would not be need
ed any moie. He asked iv» iptusx
tions; indeed, he bad time for n me,
as Mr. Peter' immediately closed
the door. t
. h.pe ingvt moi omg die old oign, j
‘ H>y Wgntpd,” appeared in its ns.
ual plaov.
Before noon it was taken down,
. and Charlie Jones was the fortu
: nate boy. Errands, pkrt- cf
ii. m. i.c ' as ken-.' Ints,. Ayifhfn arj
- hoh|- of closing. t hen, behold, he
I was sent to the attic to put the
long box in order, lie was not
? afraid of : !Ib J;3C noj. of pg* cedd.
f but lie grumbled much over that
| box; nothing in it worth his atten
j tion. However, he tumbled over
the things growling all the time,
" picked out u few straight nails, a
’ key or two, and finally appeared
u with this message:
i “Here's all that is worth keep-
' ing in that old box; the rest of the
nails are rusty, and the hooks are
bent, or something.''
“Very well,” said Mr. Peters
J and sent him to the post office.
What do yen think? By the close
|of the next day, Charley had
j been paid up and discharged, and
i the old sign hung in the window.
“I've no kind of notion why I
was discharged,” grumbled Charlie
to his mother; “lie said he had no
lault to lind, only he saw that I
wouldn t spit. It’s my opinion he
doesn’t want a boy at all, and takes
that way to cheat, mean old fel
low.”
It was Crawford Mills that was
1 lived next. He know neitiier of
the other boys, and so did his er
rands in blissful ignorance of the
‘long box,” until the second morn
ing of his stay, when in a teisure
hour he was sent to ; ut the. box in or
der/Die moriiuig passe i,dinner time
came, and still (’rawford had not
appeared from the attic. At hist
Mr. Peters called him. “Got
thrcugl' ?”
“No, sir, there’s ever so much to
do.”
“All right, it isdinney limp, now;
you may go back to it. After din
ner, back he went; all the short af
ternoon he was not heard from, luit
just as Mr. Peters was deciding to
cab him again, he appeared.
“Pve done my host, sii.,“ Im s iid,
“and down at the very bottom of
the box I found this.” “This,” was
a five dollar gold piece.
“That's a queer place for gold,”
said Mr, Pefeys. good yoit
found it; well, sir, 1 suppose you
will be on hand tomorrow morn
ing ? I'his he said as lie was put
ting the gold piece in his pocket
book.
After Crawford had said good
night, and was gone, Mr. Peters
took the lantern and went slowly
up the attic stairs. There was the
long, deep box. in which the rub
bish of twentydive years bad gath
ered, Crawford had evidently
been to the bottom of iq he had
titled pieces of shingle to make
compartments, and in tho different
rooms he had placed the articles, i
with bits of shingle laid on the top,
and labled thus: “Good screws,”
■WokfeuAujlu,” “small keys, some
of iron whose use I don t know.
So on through the long box. In
perfect order it was at last, and
very litte that could be really call
ed useful courd be found within it.
But Mr. Peters, as he bent over
and read the labels, laughed glee
fully and murmured to the mice:
“If we are not both mistaken, I
have found a boy,and he has found
a fortune.”
Sure enough the sign disappeared
from the window, and was seen no
more. Crrwf< rd became 4 the "well
i gtiqwn piia’nd boy of the ffi-in of
Peters A He had Ifttlc
|yoopi neatly tiffed up, npxt so thy
attic, whpre he spent bis evemngs,
and at the foot of the bed hung a
motto which Mr. Peters gave him.
“It tells your fortune for you, don’t
forget it,” he saiu when he handed
it to Crawford; and the boy laugh
ed to read it curiously: “He rliat
is faithful in that which is least, is
faithful also in much-” “I'll try
to be, sir,” he said; and he never

“Shall I Vote?’’
BY ( HARLES F. DEEMS, LL.D.
! 1 had tho pleasure of listening to
Charles <> Connor's masterly effort
in commemoration of the Kingston
! constitution of the St<dp of New
A oik adopted in 1867. In that
i discourse there were some proposi
j tions which seemed impracticable,
but there was one statement ■which
ought to receive frequent emphasis
because it has such important eth
ical beaiings. The statement
thiii
‘‘lt is an error quite, bwonsistent
with the theory of Government, as *
inaugurated on curse; aration from J
the parent State, to regard the act I
of voting ft r public officers as a
private right or persoinj privilege.
It is simply the performance of a
duty in which the ]>n'dh- onlv has
an interest. The vote is no more
: a piyvate rigid than the payment
of a just tax or the act of submit
ting to enrollii.«nt as a soldier and
marching on to confront an assail
ing foe. These are the public du
ties not private rights.”
Pains should be taken to make
this pialti to every inizen. The
use of the ballot is not an inaliena
hie light, it is a grand privilege
It is for the State to sjiy who shall
vote, as it is for the State to say
who shall rule tpid. who slyill figltt.
M ben a min is permitted to vote,
it is not permission to exercise a
right—it is, in reality, a duty im
posed upon h m; as when a man is
inauguyated President of the Uni
ted States there is imposed upon
hiip the duty of discharging the
chief excoptive functions. Privile
ges How from the discharge of
those functions, and rights grow
there from, but the discharge of
these functions is essentially a du
ty.
this could be thoroughly im
ißdded in the minds of the whole
(immunity wp should he free from
the insane clamors for the ballot, as
though it were everv man's rioffit,
wdicn it is no more his right than a
scat in the senate. The ballot
should not be bestowed upon • any
who cannot discharge the duty ini-
posed; The ignorant and vicious
right of every tliiujprnar L
man being.
Another result would soon be ap
parent. Every man with moral
convictions and high intelligence
would feci hiniEclf compelled to
vote every lime the polls -were open
to him. He has no right to stay
away any more than ? who
has been inaugurated President of
the United States has a right to
spend lust so much timp |n IQs of.
fipV anq to vacate jiis office as ma
ny days as be may find (t conven
ient. A num who is known to en
tertain such ideas could not be ei:-
d tired.
It is our duty to urge upon Chris
tian people that it is their duty to
vote: If from this day forth every
Christian man in the United States
| who heretofore ha tni> du
t Hiet.'id qe leq to its pToinpt and
hbncst discharge, almost immedi
ately a change would come in pub
lic affairs. The trade of politics
would be considered, r.s it i eally is.
as has. as lye trady bt
tire dirty ccssp,oo,l§ of p vjit icw would
hfegin to be cd caused, the ballot box
would become as great and high
' an alter of patriotism as the battle
Held; men would walk up to it ,
with the same sense solemn e’s 1
sacrifice as 4-1 Is me pat’-iof
ookyey. V-dYpig would become the
i sacyamtmt of pi’ii ’iousm. No nun
i would feel that he had any more i
1 right to neglect it than. hg had to
; neglect paying his taxes in time of
I peace, or shouldering his rifle when
j enrolled in the army in times of i
1 war.
1 V-ymnuet fui put-
ting this duty in so clear a light, it
has stirred my conscience. J luring
■ the more than thirty years in which
I have had the duties of citizen
ship, I believe I have discharged
them all except that of (.□tlngfbut
J only- A'ui tnac-i In thirty years I
i deposited a ballot. So great a hor
• ror have I had of the smirch which
1 ■ comes from political tilth, So
L great a distaste W political per
i
. in the oposite extreme. Partisan
politics should never be discussed
m the pulpit, nor in the slight
degree affect the relations of chris
f tian people. But, on the other
I hand, clnistian character demands

of every duty, whether civil or re
ligious, by ever} citizen, wlyvthei

OUR MERCHANT MARINE
Where is It?
A writer in the Detroit Free
Bre-s, concludes an article on the
: history, government, territory and
resources of lhe Argentine repub
lic of South Ameiica, with the fol
lowing pertinent remark.- on the
small share of the I nited States in !
the more than $100,000,000 of for-1
eign commerce of that country :
“As regards foreign navigation '
the following is the perccnta ,r e of !

And without taking into consid
eration the disparaging comparison
i shown in the above table, note the
j following: International commu
. nication has been kept up by (an
‘ average) 934 steamers, 254 of
of which ran to Brazil ami Europe,
41 to the Pacific, 92 to Paraguay,
545 to the Uruguayan Republic
(Montevideo), and only 2 to the
United States.
_ The proceeding figures ape suffi
cient proof of tJjp great commer
cial capacity of ihu Argentine Re
public, and in a special' degree of
its capital city, Buenos Ayres—and [
so there is.no need of entering in. 1
to further details.
It i- noticeable from the above
tables what a very small percen
tage of the trade of our sister Re
public that tho United States con
trol as compared with either France
or Knglanu, the amount of imports
from this country being about one
fourth of the amount from Eng
land and a little lesss than one I
half the amount from France.
It would seem to the thoaghlfil i
investigator that we ought to be as
able to supply a liberal share of
their demand for wines, tobacco,
cotton, snuff, ready-made clothing’
boots and shoes, hats and caps, ami
hardware as cither France
or England.
And we can do so but we lack
the marine.
from the above table of imports
it will be observed tl at those ar‘i
cles mentioned form nearly 50 per
cent, of the entire imports of the
er, than either England or France/
and while we ought to possess the
lion's share of this immense amount
of business, we barely do but eight
per cent, of it. ,
Where is our meicqam marine?
Where arc th v millions that theßc
p.J>h.tam party have stolen, that
the people voted to ’ foster
this trade? Why i> not this com
merce enyst Suppose, for exam
pie, that even if part of this money
appropriated fuy this identical pur
pose had boon honestly and judi
ciously expended, how different
would be the condition of our
workingmen to day! Every citi
zen of the United States, every
workingman is directly interested
in this matter. Answer this ques
tion with your votes: Shall the
party who has m. effort I to
; bcdte„ y ? ,Ui condition continue to
idli you of your hard-earned mon
ey? Will Mr. Blaire’s so-called
foreign policy tend to alter t.’iySy
grievances? Has tlyp. ; arty whose
standard L-o..»ey he is to day, even
mau.e an honest; and. sincere effort
to remedy these defects and win
thi.4 enormous trade that should by
( rights be ours, and which would
have a tendency to raise the labo
- rcr’s wages and do away with ex
i pensive and unnecessary strikes?
No! All the facts cry out ?
and convict them oy rntyx-.-.s indiff
erence v n.<, ’ cqmiual negligence. .
lX,e 'Argentine Republic is no ex-,
l (-option, but i> simply chosen as
. a striking illustration. The writer
gives the peoole the facts and the
i figures, and leaves them to draw
their own conclusions and make
their own comparisons."

•especially important rcecojnujenda
j tion, namely, that the State cstab
! li.-l.i a house of correction for the
I buy* who are now sent to the chain
I gang. It is not generally known,
but it is a fact nevertheless, that
there are boy.- in the penetentiarv
only 11 years old. There isoneat
the Old Town camp, who. when
'he was carried therein iron- by a
i penitentiary guar 1, went at half
pt ice on the railroads.* Th. re are
in tiie Georgia penitentiary 137
boys between the ages of 11 and
17 years, and some of the most hei
nous crimes known to the prison
records are charged to then:—-arson
burglaries, rape, attempts at rape,
indeed they go through the eritiitt
calendar. There is one boy of 11
years oM who is in for murder.
1 no report of the principal keeper
shows 1.36 S convicts on
the prison rolls. Os that number
there are 119 white wales and
1,219 black males, and 30 colored
females. There are no white wo
; nien in (he Georgia penitentiary.
I I’heie have been received since
Oct, 20th 1882, 741 convicts. There
were 1,243 on the rolls at that
time, making a grand total of
1,984. JSitiee that time there hare
been 447 discharged, 57 pardoned, 1
6<> deaths, and 51 escapes, making
a total of (»L'> out from all causes.
I his leaves 1,371, but there have
been three discharges since the re
port was made up. This report of
the ; rincipal keeper is made every
two years, and in the two years
m hich it covers there have been 57
pardons, only 6 of which are charge
al le to Gow MuD<.niel. The oth
er ;>0 were pardoned by Gov. Ste
phens, Gov. (Jolqiott and Gov.
Boynton. The death rate on the
whole number of convicts for the
two years is three pur cent., or one
land a hajf per cunt, per annum.
‘ The (hath late in 1882 was 50-1 v 0
of 1 per cent. The largest moral
ity has been at a camp heretofore
quite healthy, that of B.
G. Lockett A Co., at Bolton. In
finishing up this report, Capt.
Nelms proposes to notice the great
help that has been given on the
line of reformation by the Wo
man s Christian Temperance Un
ion. He is negotiating, by instruc
tions from the Governor, with a
Bible house, through Mrs. E. E.
Harper, of the union, for bibles
and hymn books for each of the
convicts. Ihe old law under which
they were governed before the war
allowed each a bible and a hymn
book, which upon their discharge,
they were allowed to take with
them. Upon calling the Gover
nor’s attention to that fact he or
dered Capt. Nelms at jnee to open
negotiations and sqe what prices
the books .could be obtained at.
He will know in a few days. Mrs.
II irper has ask the privilege of
tJjgm among the con
how the crimes are divided in " the
penitentiary; Murder, 176; attempts
to. ’gim-der, 159; manslaughter, 36;

; Nelms is geiting up a table show
ing the number oi convicts sent to
tV,O penetentiary from each county.
Sixty-six per cent, of those now in
can read and write. There arc
125 more con.icts in the peniten-
tiary now than there were two
years ago. This is regarded as
showing an frciy-ase in crime al
tbppgh it might be accounted for
an the idea of more stringeant en
forcement of the law. —Savanah
