SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND THE
WAG ES OF WORK ING-WOMEN.
H. Anthony recoinnicn<l- the down
trodden sisters to strike for higher wages tor
home duties. The schedule suggested is so
much for every baby V>ri». No greenbacks, no
more population, no more boyn to carry on the
streat enterprises of the age. The scales of
prices for maternal duties will perhaps be as
follows: Girl babies, |100; boy babies, $200;
twin babies, $300; twins, both bovs, $400; trip
let!., $000; triplets, all boys, sl,ooo'.— Exchange.
The above has been going the
rounds of the newspaper press. We
should not be true to ourself if we
failed to spit upon it and proclaim it
an insult to every woman on the
earth. We do not say, to every
“wife and mother;” because that
would imply that it was an insult to
them because they are “wives and
mothers;” but we say it is an insult
to them because they are human be
ings-and entitled to justice. We are
not advocating “chivalry,” “tender
devotion to woman” (Heaven’s last
best gift to man,) and such despicable
nonsense ; what we object to in the
above is its injustice and its indecen
cy. As to Susan B. Anthony, what
ever may be said by the stupid, igno
rant, “narrowminded blockhead,”
who wrote the above paragraph, to
gether with all of his associates and
successors in the big corporation of
noodledom, she is one of the foremost
women of the age, a woman of intel
lectual power, of pure and exalted
character, a woman that will not die
without having done somewhat for
humanity. This woman, whom ev
ery bigoted blockhead in the country
feels at liberty to insult, has spent
her life, not in pursuit of pleasure or
selfish gain, but in earnest work to
better the condition of her poor and
unfortunate sisters. She says that
working women are unjustly discrim
inated against in the matter of wages;
and that many of them are trodden
down, and then starved or forced into
houses of prostitution, because they
are not paid enough for their labor to
buy bread. Whether she speaks
truth or falsehood let the following
figures attest:
In Philadelphia there are 1,515
teachers employed in the Public
►Schools; average salaries of male
teachers per month, sllO 86; aver
age salaries of female teachers per
month, |34 36! In the State of Mas
sachusetts there are in the Public
Schools 12,077 teachers employed; av
erage salaries of male teachers, $72 04;
of female teachers, S2B 81; in the
State of Michigan it is $47 71 to $24 55.
“And yet,” says the Commissioner of
Education, “the superiority of wo
men as teachers has long been ac
knowledged !”
We also submit the following ex
tract from the
“REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS:”
There are 30,000 women in and a
round Boston who live by sewing.—
The average wages do not exceed
$2 75 per week; room rent costs not
less than $2 00. They go to work at
seven, alniost always without any
warm breakfast. Work ends at sp.
m., and many of the girls take work
home with them; work not ceasing
till midnight. One of our largest as
well as kindest custom-work mer
chant-tailors testified to a committee
of inquiry, that few “machine girls”
could work over two years without
-• • uuu incy
were ever after unfit for labor. In
slopwork shops girls can seldom earn
more than their room rent except*by
overwork. In slack times their suf
fering is extreme, girls having been
known to work for weeks with only
water and bread or crackers for food,
and fortunate if able to procure an
ounce of tea. Many have lived for
weeks on five cents worth of stale
bread per week while seeking work.
The lodging-house keepers charge
working-women higher rates than
men, and many refuse to have them
in their houses at any price. Hence
they are often obliged to live and
sleep in localities where they would
be ashamed to let anyone know they
ever went. T.
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE OR
PHAN.
Mb. Editor: —lt was my pleas
ure, during last Summer and Fall,
to present the claims of the Orphan’s
Home of the North Georgia Confer
ence to many of the citizens living
within the section through which
your paper circulates. There were
liberal responses—some in cash and
some in subscriptions. A consider
able amount on subscription was due
Dec. 25tli, 1872, and with your per
mission, 1 take this method of urg
ing those who so kindly promised to
aid in this noble benevolence, to
make as prompt payment as possible.
We have recently had a disastrous
fire at the Home which resulted in
the loss of all the kitchen utencils
and table furniture, the building used
for stove and dining room having
been consumed. These will have to
be replaced. Besides the Board of
Trustees having decided to move
from Norcross, have just concluded
the purchase of a most eligible Home
at Decatur, Ga. This will involve
considerable outlay. We earnestly
hope that the friends of the Orphans
will rally promptly and liberally to
our help.
We, as a people are under solemn
pledges that can never be redeemed,
till the last Orphan of a deceased
Confederate soldier has been provided
for. Persons who have subscribed,
living in or near Cartersville can re
mit to me at this place, (Marietta,
Ga.) or leave money or articles con
tributed with Rev. John T. Norris.
Those near Stilesboro with Mr. P. S.
Shelman, and those near Canton at
the store of McAfee & Morse.
Allow me to say to your readers
generally, and to the ladies particu
larly, that we will gladly and grat
fully accept contributions from any
of them, whether they have hereto
fore subscribed or not. Contributions
in money, clothing, provisions or
anything that can be used in house
keeping or home living.
All such contributioussentasabove
directed will be duly acknowledged.

Orphans Home.
CONGRESS.
This body re-assembled on Monday,
the 6th, after the Christmas recess, j
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Some few months ago a fire com
pany was organized in Cartersville,
and, from the demonstrations then
made, everybody wasted to believe
that, in a short time, such arrange
ments would be perfected as would,
in great measure, protect us against
the dangers to which, in this relation,
we are so very greatly exposed. No.
thing, however, has been done, so far
as we are informed, save the purchase
of a few water buckets. Not a ladder
or a hook, or an engine, or a cistern.
Nothing whatever. Let any man
but look around him and see the
character of our buildings, and the
very manifest danger that exists at
almost every point of the business
portion of the city, for the origin and
spread of fire, and the almost inevita
ble probability that, should it occur ?
it might destroy that whole portion
of the town, and he will agree with
us that a very unpardonable neglect
of city interests exists. Some time
ago the Secretary of the Southern Mu
tual Insurance Company was in this
place on a tour of inspection, and told
us then that Cartersville was the
most unprotected and absolutely de
fenceless town, in this respect, within
his knowledge, in the State. Several
fires have occurred within the last
year, and but for Providence, we
would have been completely destroy
ed. What are we to do? Is this
state of things to continue still? and
shall another year begin, and day af
ter day glide along, and nothing be
done to give us some little assurance,
at least, that we have some means of
self-protection 'against such fearful
emergencies. The absence of all pre
parations against fire, not only en
dangers property, and which may
end in great loss to the owners, and
the business of the city, but creates
such a high rate of insurance as to
increase rents to a very high figure,
and at the same time prevents, very
materially, the investment of capital.
Capital is always timid, and a cau
tious man would hesitate long, before
he would place it where it might be
lost in a night or a day, without any
means of preserving it.
The trade of the town, the growth
of of the city, the security of proper
ty, the lessening of rents, the lower
ing of rates of insurance, and the
sense of safety, all demand that this
matter should at once receive the at
tention of the proper authorities.—
The cry of too much taxation in such
matters is senseless and absurd, for
in no particular could a more econom
ical course be pursued, than at once
to see to it, that, as far as possible,
we may bid defiance to the devouring
flames. We have frequently before
called attention to this subject, and
do hope that now, at the beginning
of anew year, immediate steps will
be taken in this all important mat
ter.
Green, White and Blue.— The
English Republicans, not a very large
party as yet, have taken a step in
advance. They have invented anew
tri-color. Not the red, white and blue
of France—the “three bright colors,
each divine,“ of which Byron sang:
One tint was the sunbeam’s ilyes;
One the blue depths of seraphs’ eyes;
‘rraniftmrdlh rldlianceof its light.
but anew combination of green,
white and blue, the idea being that
the green will represent fertility, the
white is to stand for purity, and the
blue for the sky under which all men
are equal. At any rate the British
Republicans have got a flag. All
they require more is a number of
fellow-citizens to rally around it.
A Sad Affair.— Mr Ivey, a resi
dent of Hall county, liis wife and
two children, started on Monday to
see his nephew, Mr. Tapt, who lives
in Banks county, and to spend the
Christmas with him. When they ar
rived near Homer they had to cross
a creek that was very much swollen
by reason ot the late rains. They
were driving an ox team hitched to a,
wagon, and in attempting to cross
the creek the team lost their footing
and were carried down stream. The
parties were caught in the sluice and
the entire family were washed over
board and drowned. An old negro
man who happened to be on the oppo
site shore, but could afford them no
relief, saw them go down. Mr. Ivey,
Mrs. Ivey and both children were
drowned —Atlanta Herald.
An English writer says: “A good
editor, or competent newspaper con
ductor is like a general or a poet,
born, not made. Exercise and expe
rience give facility, but the qualifica
tion is innate, or it is never manifest
ed. On the London daily papers all
the great historians, novelists, poets,
essayists, and writers of travels, have
been tried and nearly every one has
failed. ‘I can,’ said the editor of the
London Times, ‘find any number of
men of genius to write for me, but
very seldom find one man of com
mon sense.’ Nearly all editors are
of this description. A good editor
seldom writes much for his paper;
he reads, judges, selects, dictates, al
ters, and combines; and to do all
this well he has but little time for
composition. To write Toi a paper is
one thing, to edit a paper is another.”
Homicide in Polk County—An
unfortunate drunken broil, in which
two young men, George Mobley and
Frank McMeekin, were engaged last
Friday evening, resulted in the shoot
ing of McMeekin by Mobley, from
the effects of which lie died the next
day. The shooting was witnessed by
Mr. and Mrs. T. G. W. McMeekin,
the father and mother of the unfor
tunate young man. The parties were
perfectly friendly when the difficulty
began, and the parents of McMeekin
had been dining with those of Mob
ley that day, and were on their return
home when they encountered them
on the road side, and upon stopping
to prevail upon their son to go home
with them Mobley, sprang into the
woods and deliberately shot his vic
tim down, and then made several
efforts to shoot the father. Mobley es
caped that night by fleeing to Ala
bama. Parties are now in pursuit,
and it is hoped that lie will be brought
to justice. —Borne Courier.

EDITORIAL VISIT.
We had the pleasure last Thursday
evening of a visit at our office from
Rev. Samuel H. Smith, one of the
editors of the Cartersville Standard
and Express. Mr. Smith spent the
Christmas with his brotherin-law,
Col. John H. Rutherford, of Houston
county. This was his first visit to
our section, and he has gone home
perfectly delighted with it. He pays
a glowing tribute to the intelligence
and refinement of the people around
HayneviUe, and, doubtless, if he were
a farmer instead of an editor he would
purchase some of the rich lands in
that part of Houston and go to making
cotton. He is the second editor we
have seen in this wire-grass region
since our removal from Cartersville.
We hope to see him again next Christ
mas.—lla wkinsxille Dispatch.
The first thing that attracted our
attention upon entering Bro. Woods’
office was two huge gourds, the pro

he told us, some time since. One was

one had a long, bugle neck which he
purposes to convert into a horn, and
ever, in the future, he wishes it un
derstood, he will write under hisown
inspiration and blow hisown horn.
THE NATION’S SHAME.
Forney’s Press is down on the Car
pet-Baggers. After reviewing a por
tion of their offences, it says:
“These events, shameful to free in
stitutions, and disgraceful to all con
cerned, have sprung from causes
which are now happily fading away.
The political ad venturers who swarm
ed like locusts upon the Southern
communities at the close of the war,
have fulfilled their mission and the
day for their toleration is past. For
years they were sustained by the Na
tional Government and the voices of
the North, because they were the
conservators of the peace and the
protectors of the negro. These duties
are no longer necessary. Sectional
animosities, prejudices against race,
and disloyalty to the Union are be
ing discarded by the Southern people
if only to rid themselves of a rule
that eats up their substance and de
stroys their political liberty. The
Warmouths and the Moseses may
have foreseen this political revolu
tion but it is no paliation of their ex
cesses to say that they fought the bat
tle for negro suffrage and civil rights.
The day has come for their extinc
tion. With it will disappear the an
archy they have evoked.
The Administration lias an ex
tremely delicate task, but an impera
tive duty to perform in this crisis.
Now is the time for a comjflete and
lasting reconciliation. It will not
hazard Republican supremacy, but
strengthen it, to crush out the rob
bers who claim to lead its columns at
the South.”
BARNUM’S MENAGERIE
BURNED AGAIN.
New York, December 24.—Bar
num’s museum and menagerie on
Fourteenth street, near the Academy
of Music, was burned this morning.
The fire commenced about lour o’-
clock a. m. In a half hour the entire
building, though constructed of iron,
was in ruins. The flames quickly
spread to the buildings on either side.
Grace Chapel, on the easterly side,
was burned to the ground, and the
Lawrence mansion, on the westerly
side, was seriously damaged. The
fire ran through the block to 13th
street, destroying the carriage factory
of Niver & Stevens and of F. Grote.
The loss will amount to half a million
dollars. Another account says the
loss will reach a million dollars.

The first locomotive steamed up in
the United States in 1832. Since then
the railroad development has gone
on with wonderful rapidity, averag
ing not less than 1,500 miles per an
num. AVith each successive year the
ratio increases. In 1870, 6,145 miles
were completed, and in 1871,7,453, and
during the present year still higher
figures have probably been reached.
The earnings of the railroads in 1851
were about $40,000,000; in 1861 about
$475,000,000. With its disposition to
grasp power, it is not to be wondered
at that the Administration proposes to
secure to itself the control of the rail
roads.
Did you ever! In a New Haven
church, last Sunday, an old lady was
standing upon the hot-air register in
the middle aisle, when the thing gave
way, and shuwas suddenly shot down
into the Hue. She had sufficient pres
ence of mind to hoist her umbrella
and begin to sing the doxology; and
when they pulled her out, her nervous
system was so unstrung that she
marched up to the front pew with her
umbrella open and sat beneath its
shelter during the entire service,
while every now and then she would
interrupt the sermon by shouting out
fragments of the doxology until her
mind became calmer.

are cut low and square across the
chest, with embroidery, frills, &c.

Tiie Situation in Cuba.— Recent
dispatches show that, notwithstand
ing: Spanish representationS to the
contrary, fighting in Cuba is still go

from being a disorderly rabble, are

organization. To subdue them, it is
reasonable to suppose will require
double the number of troops Spain
has on the island.
An editor in Victoria, Australia,

Could the entire crop of cotton be

from Mrs. South worth’s Manuscript,
just written, and never before pub
lished in any form whatever, and sto-

by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Phila
delphia, Pa. It were small praise to
assert that “The Artist's Love” is
the best story by far that has ever fal
len from the pen of the industrious
and gifted Mrs. South worth. Not
lacking one whit in the thrilling in
terest all ot her
romances, it is a far more elaborate
production than she has hitherto
given the world. It breathes through
out a fervid spirits of hope, fortitude,
and thanks—just the story and senti
ment suited for the blessed Christmas
season. And we know of no way to
make fresh, young hearts happier,
and restore the bloom to aged cheeks,
in the cheerful blaze of the yule log
fire, than by the perusal of this ex
quisite Christmas story, which is ad
mirably supplemented by a generous
collection of brief and interesting
sketches by Mrs. Frances li. Baden,
a sister of Mrs. Southworth. These
brief narratives are each charming—
all perfect little gems of prose fic
tions —orient pearls at random strung.
The Artist’s Love” is published in
a large duodecimo volumn, uniform
with Mrs. South worth’s other works,
and sold by all Booksellers at $1.75
in cloth, or $1.50 in paper cover; or
copies will be sent by mail, post-paid,

ways feel badly when I take oil, aw.”

Co-operative Labor—We notice
a pleasing little instance of the
advantages of co-operative labor.—
In a Western college five students
keep bachelor’s hall together. They
usually have hot cakes for breakfast,
and this is the way in which they are
prepared; No 1 builds the fire. No 2
mixes the batter. No. 3 greases the
gridle. No 4 adjusts & butters the same.
No. 5 takes off the cakes. Then the
whole party affectionately co-operate
in devouring the result of their joint
of their joint labors. Here the plan
will work no further, for every man
has to digest on his own personal
responsibility.
Direct Importation.— Mcßride
& Cos., have opened an exclusively
wholesale Crockery, China and
Glassware House in Atlanta. They
import their goods direct from the
Potteries in Europe, and bring out
only such goods as are suited to
the wants of our section. They have
original packages to suit the wants of
any customers, and a trial will con
vince close cash buyers that they
need not go further to buy their
goods—they sell only at wholesale,
and for the closest margin of profit.
They are Manufactures agents for
Show Cases , Silver Plated ware and
many other useful and staple goods.
The firm is composed of A. J. & S. L.
