Tub North Ea-teru Railroad is progressing rapidly under the skilful and judicious mamge ment of those who hare control of it, so says the Athena Georgian. It is stated by a Griffin paper, upon the autho rity of a sensible farmer, that Spalding county will not make enough wheat to feed her people one week. Tub handsome local of the Macon Enterprise, who left Amerlcus so uncermoniously, wants music in the Park on Sunday evenings. That boy is not bsppy. The famous articles published in the Chronicle & Sentinel in 1871, In condemnation of the Bol lock administration, and signed Nemesis, were written by the Hon. Thoe. M. Norwood. August Metek, aged IS, shot aid killed his father, E D. Meyer, aged about 45, in Savanna on the 37th. Meyer had been abusing his wile which enraged the son, bringing about the above result The Macon Enterprise gives the following account of an honest boy in that cl'.y: A small boy by the name of George Wilson, yesterday, found the pocket-book of Mark Isaacs, and im mediately carried it to his grandfather, who re ato red It to its owner. The boy was rewarded ler his honesty. The Macon Enterprise says: We met a gentle man at the Brown House last night from Marietta who said the farmers of Coob county were making the most extraordinary exertions to carry off the sweepstakes of SI,OOO for the best display of fsrm products from one county, at the State Pair. He had been oat to eee our Fair Grounds, and pronounced them the moat beautiful in the town wetUL Products oY tbe South. utilization of crops. Tbe staple productions of tbe South ate by immense odds tbe most Important items of cur ft reign trade, and without them our b.lat.ces would long since have goue into chancery or would have destroyed our credit. Hence it ia a national interest that the system of production should be kept upon a healthy and correct basis. The growth of cotton should be made as cheap as possible, and yet tbe limit of consumption •bould not be passed in tbe cheapening process, for no commodity can suddenly force tbe demands of the world to any desirable maximum, and to pass the actual limit is to sacrifice tbe welfare of the producer. The theory that low prices stimu late consumption is altogether fallacious, when applied to an excessive output of a commodity which has to be used up each year to make way for a succeeding crop, and the annual conversion of which, to practical use, it necessarily regulated by the money capacity of manufacturers, and tbe capacity of existing establishments to utilize it. It has Lnt a limited application to plethora which ia referable to crop vicissitudes or other nnususl causes. Tbe cheapening process to be healthy, must commence at the very bottom, and must operate by limiting the outlay of money and labor in order to produce a certain fixed re sult, thus facilitating production and rendering it accessible and easy to a greater number of opera tors, the aggregate product is Increased, and part pasru can he sold on easier but not less remunera tive terms. As this process advances, there will be a parallel process of utilization steadily but gradually opeu ing out Into new channels and foims among tbe consuming classes, and each side will reap ad vantages without harming the other to achieve them. The popular theory referred to when ap plied to cotton is simply a loose way of saying that, when tbe market is overstocked, it becomes possible for buyers to dictate terms to holders, and that when a range baa been touched lower than the prospects ol the market realty warrant, buyers will take up the offerings with an eager ness proportionate to their faith in a return, more or less prompt, to a fair standard of value. At such crises purchase, aa well as consumption, will be large, because there Is a baigaln in It for those classes; but there is equally as good a bargain lost to those who are embarked iu producing in stead of speculating. m The St. Louis Democrat, in an argument upon this subject, mentions that in 1871 the cotton States devoted about 7,175,000 acres of their best cotton laud to corn, and produced 119,500,000 bushels. We are told that if the same land had been unltivated In cotton about 3,587,000 bales wonld have been added to tbe crop. The Demc crat has reduced his own argument to an absur dity, for If we add the latter amount to 4,365,000 bales actually produced that year we shall find a total greater than the world has consumed in any year, or is sood likely to consume. Hence, al though labor is scarce in the South, according to the analogy of the facts, as well as the argument of our contemporary, there was available a sur plus of labor more than enough if applied to this staple to largely overstock the world. It would seem, therefore, that nothing could have been wiser thau to retrain irom cultivating that same corn laud lit cotton, especially when tbe yield of c0rn—119,500,000 bushels—was worth to the cot ton growers about $100,000,000. It is mentioned that one Northern State grows more corn on a smaller acreage ; hut it might be added that, un fortunately, it was worth to the producers only about $25,000,000. Big cotton crops are not to be regarded as necessarily the profitable ones. Thu exports of ISOI-’72 were 1,975,000 bales, valued at $173,000,- 000; the exports of 1870-’7l, nearly twice as large, realized only $19,000,000 more, the figures being 3,166,000 bales and $192,000,000 ; the ex ports of 186‘J-'7O were 900,000 bales less than the latter, but yielded $9,000,000 more money, the figures btiug 2,206,000 brles and 201,500,000. The entire country is Interested iu the pros perity of the South—the Northern importers, manufacturer, and banker, as well as the trading aud financial circles of the West. —Louisville Courier Journal. Country News Pipers.—The greatest en emies to success iu conducting a country paper are the credit system and gratuitous advertising or “ putting.’’ The dues of the country publisher are necces earially small. If he credits a couple of dollars here to A, a couple of dollars to B, and so on through the alphtbet of subscription, these cred its will amount to a handsome sum iu the aggre gate, of which a fearfully large per cent, invari ably proves to be a total loss. The publisher who will credit subscriptions, transient advertising and job work, knowing that he it compelled to pay cash for his material, has no right to complain that his business does not pay, and of all men has less cause to be as tonished at the necessity that compels the suspen sion of bis paper. Another thing to avoid: Gratuitous work for party or candidates. They havo no right to ex pect it. Office la Inseparably connected with salary, and the salary is what nine ont of ten can didates are after. The candidate has as mnch right o expect his tailor to keep him in clothing without charge as to expect bis publisher to de vote his paper to bis glorification before the peo ple without pay therefor. Make the politicians pay the same as other advertisers; andgnever al low a line of “ puff” to appear in yonr paper without pay Yonr merchant or grocer does not expect to supply your family from their stores without pay, and they have no right to expect you to advertise for them without remuneration. Sell ing goods or groceries is their mode of making a living. Publishing a newspaper is your mode of making a living. They cannot give their goods away without loss, aud you cannot give away space in yonr paper without loss. That whieb will beggar them will beggar you. That’s the whole truth of it. In the days when we used to devote column af ter column to the business of elevating Tom, Dick end Harry to office simply because they be longed to our party, and never dreamed of asking a cent of pay for our services; so long as we filled our papers with putts of this, that and the other, because they were good, clever fellows, and did it tor nothing, we found it the hardest matter in the world to get along. But, since we turned ever a new leaf, and made a real business of publishing a paper, just as Tom, Dick and Harry made a bus iness of running for office for the emoluments,and this, that the other made a business of selling his goods for the profit, we have prospered. To be sure we have not as yet accumulated a mammoth fortune, but then we have built us up a good pay ing business, secured us a borne we are not ashamed of, and are able to pay as we go. Under the old system we scarcely made enough to pay our board bill aud provide us a change of linen. As it is, we get fair wages for our lsbor, live de cently, and have no cause to complain of the world. Aud so it will be with all our brethren of the country press if they will do as we are doing—es chew all gratuitous work and cut the credit sys tem absolutely.—Jft. Sterling (A Sentinel. W. F.

FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING JUNE 3, 1873. THE GOLDEN BIDE. There is many a rest in the road of li.'e If we woulJ only stop ;o take it; And many a tone from ihe better land, If the quernlocs heart would make it! To the sonny soul that is lull of hope, And woose beautiful trust ne’er failetb. The grass ia green and the flowers are bright; Tnougb ’he winter storm prevailetb. Better to hope though the clonds hang low, And to keep the eyes still lifted, For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through, When the ominous clouds are rifted ! There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning; And the darkest hour, as tbe proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning. There is many a gem in the path of life, Which we pass in our idle pleasure, That is richer far than the jeweled crown, Or the miser’s hoarded treasure; it may be the love of a little child, Or a mother’s prayer to heaven, Or only a beggars grate<ui thanks For a cup ot water given. p “tter to Weave iu the web of life A bright and golden filling, And to do God’s will with a ready heart, Aud hands that are ready and witling, Than to snap the delicate, minute threads Of our curious lives asunder. And then blame heaven lor tbe tangled ends, And sit and grieve, and wonder. OUR BOOK TABLE, ' “ Books are a sort of dumb teachers.” Waff*.

Growth of the Roman Catholic Church.— Father Spaldiug, a Catholic priest of Loolsville, in a lecture recently gave these sanguine views of the final supremacy of the Roman Catholic religion in this country: He admits that formerly many foreigners were lost to the Church on coming to this country because there were not a sufficient nnmber of priests to look after them. But now there are sixty-four dioceses In the country, acd go where you will there is a priest, and the lecturer believes that now the great mass of Roman Catholic emigrants are saved to the Church. The number of priests has doubled within the last ten years, now reaching to 5,000. One-fifth of the natives—to-wit, 8,000,000' are Roman Catholics, and they aie making remarkable conversions. In Baltimore thirteen per cent of the confirmations are or converts from the other sects. Ne* England, too, Father Spalding claims, Is becoming Catholic faster than any other sec tion. One-third of the population ot Massachu setts is lri6h, and that third have more children than the other two-thirds. “In the progress of time,” exclaims the enraptured priest, “ we will have a New Ireland in New England; if we simply hold our own for a few yea s we will be a most powerful Church. Protestantism is more a name than a fact at present. New England was once the great stronghold of Protestantism, but now it has changed greatly. Protestantism is au undemocratic religion. A poor man is as out of place in some of the large churches of New York as he would be in the palace of a king. A poor man’s only business in some ot these large Pro testaut churches of New York, built by million aires, is to fix the gas pipes, or something like tbaL” The lecturer claimed that the war waa brought on by New England clergymen, and that the result of the war had been greatly to the ad vantage of the Roman Catholic religion. 4525 postal cards were disposed of in less than 48 hours at the Savannah post office. Those dreaded insects known as the cotton lice (says the Albany Central City) have made vig orous attack upon the cotton in onr country.
