Col. Marsh T. Polk, the defaulting treasurer of T’ennessee, was an officer in tlie old army, a relative of Gen. Leonidas Polk, and served as lieu tenant colonel on his stall' until his death. He was also a nephew of the late- President Polk. He was a genial companion, with a remarkably bright vein of sparkling wit. lie had been onee exceedingly dissipated, but for twenty years he had practiced abso | lute total abstinence. He was a man I without vices, but not the ordinary f class-leading or psalm-singing de faulter. He was social, jovial, ran ' with the boys, but spent money mod J erately, and joined in none but the | most innocent, pleasures, no matter what others did. He was in no way eXtl'av;i*rant, ort <l yet hi.. lull. Ills , .i- 14 as sad an one as was ever re corded. We do not believe he ever did a dishonest or a dishonorable thing in his life before. That does not lessen the crime, but saddens it, and it warns him who vaunteth him self to beware. Temptation has many guises, and no one knows be is safe until the death-rattle advises him that the account is closed. When the war ended, leaving Polk out of service and poor, he went to work, and partly on a country news paper and partly on a farm made a meager but decent living. Four years ago he was elected treasurer of the stole. Without business habits or business knowledge, a simple minded man, as simple as a child, he fell into the hands of the rings and sharks which infest a stale whose people are a noble and honest people, beguiled by demagogues to believe they ought not to pay an honest debt, or having honestly settled it, ought to readjust it The result of the policy has made the state a prey to rings and sharks of all parties and factions. Simple-minded, and simple in his tastes, not strong in will or exceeding strong in capacity, he was a pure and honorable man until be guiled and led beyond his depth by designing knaves. It may be that he deserves no mercy, and he will receive none at the hands of those who “gie poor frailty names,” but no manly man will deny sympathy. The sharks who involved him in speculation, who promised that no loss should befall, who fleeced him, aie the criminals. Folk cannot go free of deep blame for assuming that he could honestly use funds not his own if he was sure he could replace them; but his was the lighter crime, for there was not the intent to de fraud. Still, it was indefensible, the hmliC' l crime ui;de.r .a UQimhtr iruv- FORSYTH, GEORGIA. TUESDAY ORNING| JaNU ARY 23,1883. machinery and Labor. Mr. Edward Atkinson says that it takes 160,000 men, women, and chil dren to make the cotton cloth, the use of which is now enjoyed by the people of the United Slates, who are the best clothed people in the world. If those who do this work were ob liged to use machinery no more effec tive than the spinning wheel or hand loom, it would require, lie computes, 16,000,000 persons continuously em ployed ten hours a day to do the necessary work. According to the view of a certain class of self called “labor reformers” —of whom we hear less now than formerly, and less than we arc likely to when hard times come again— modern labor saving cotton niachin ery must be depriving 15,940,000 men and women of steady work; the ‘‘.roftii-miirs” wan )<l assume remuner ative work. Where are they and what are they doing ? In every department of pro ductive labor machinery has been and is having a corresponding effect. The displaced millions of mythical hand workers cannot have starved to death, or have oeen otherwise exter minated, for there has been a rapid increase of population in ail manu facturing countries, and the average length of human life is greater than it used to be. The obvious truth—obvious, that is, to all who can see things as they are—is, that so far from displacing labor, or the demand for it, labor saving machinery furnishes more and more varied opportunities for remunerative work, larger pay for the worker, and cheaper products for the worker to enjoy. Machinery increases the cotton worker’s capacity a hundredfold, cotton cloth is cheapened, and as a natural result, a hundred times as many people can afford to use cotton and more of it. And a similar effect is produced in every other depart ment of productive labor. The anti-machinery argument holds good only on the assumption that savagery—which in our climate means incessant toil with nakedness, hunger, indifferent shelter, and gen eral misery—is better than limited labor, made efficient by steam power and machinery, and surrounded by all the comforts that labor brings where labor is aided, as it is with us, by the fruits of a century of accumu lation and invention. If any work man. or class of workmen, remain as badly off'as savages are, it is wholly because of their choice to lead the lives of savages, or worse. Intem perance and improvidence, the great sources of misery in industrial coin inanities, .are not moduced bv ina. Furman’s Compost Formula Take thirty bushels well rotted organic matter, as leaves, muck, etc., and scatter it about three inches thick upon a piece of ground so situ ated that water will not stand on it, but shed off'in every direction. The thirty bushels will weigh about nine hundred pounds; take 200 pounds of good acid phosphate, which cost me $22.50 per ton, delivered, making the 200 pounds cost $2.25, and 100 pounds kainit, which cost me by the ton sl4, delivered, or 70 cents for 100 pounds, and mix the acid phos phate and kainit thoroughly, then scatter evenly on the manure. Take next thirty bushels of green cotton seed and distribute evenly over the pile, and wet them thoroughly; take again 200 pounds acid phosphate and 100 pounds kainit, mix and spread .over the seed, begin agaifi^’' the manure and keep on it this wa> , building up your heap layer by layer until you get it as high as conven ient, then cover with six inches of rich earth from fence corners, and leave at least six weeks; when ready to haul to the field cut with a spade or pickax square down and mix as thoroughly as possible. Now, we have thirty bushels of manure weigh ing 900 pounds, and 300 pounds chemicals is in the first layer; and 30 bushels cotton seed weighing 90l pounds, and 300 pounds of chemicals in the second la3’ei\ and these twe layers combined form the perfect compost. You perceive that tin weight is 2,400 pounds. Value at cost is: 30 bushels cotton seed. 12ic. $3 75 400 pounds acid phosphate, 4 of 200 pounds kainit, 1 4< Stable manure nominal. —- Total $9 6 Or for 2,400 pounds a total value ol $965.
