THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
LAW
Savannah News.
One of the most important meas
ures that the Legislature, at its ses
sion this month, xvill have to consid
er that xvLich provide for certain
modifications of the railroad commis
sion law.
The report which the Legislative
committee xvill make, relative to the
condition of the business of various
railroads of the state, xvill have,
doubtless, very great influence in
determining the extent to which the
railroad commission laxv shall he
J modified, provided it recommends
an) - modification at all.
We assume, of course, that the re
port, coming as it xvili, from some of
the ablest members ot the Legisla
i ture. who were selected because of
j the confidence in their integrity and
judgment, will be accepted as con
j taining the facts, respecting the con
dition of the railroads and their busi
ness prospects, as near as they can
he obtained.
The Legislature at its last session
hesitated, doubtless, to act because
of its inability to get satisfactory in
formation about the roads. The
statements of tlie railroad mana
gers and the railroad Commis
sion were contradictory. Under
the circumstances it was impossible
tor the legislature to do otherwise
than to appoint a committee of its
own members to make a thorough
investigation of everything that the
legislature ought to know pertaining
to the roads.
The report no doubt will be full
and complete. No part of it, prob
ably, will be made public before it is
presented to the legislature. If it
alleges that the statements which
have been published by the commis
sion relative to the .affairs of the
railroads strictly in accordance with
the facts there will he no attempt, of
course, to modify the railroad com
mission law. If, however, the re
port sustains the claims made by the
railroad managers, it is only reason
able to suppose that the law will he
at once so changed as to give the
railroads the relief the}’arc demand
ing.
There are two things that mem
bers of the legislrture ought to keep
clearly in mind. One is that there
is no purpose to abolish the railroad
commission, and the other is that
those of the people of Georgia xvho
are anxious to sec the state prosper
do not want to see the railroads of
the state ruined. While they want
the people, xvho have dealings xvith
Hie railroads, to he treated fairly,
they are willing that the railroads
shall have an opportunity to make a
f.iir profit on their investments. It
is expected that the report of t Be leg
islative committee will slum' wheth
er the people are being seated fairix
: and xvhether the railroads are given
a chance to prosper
There is no oecßon for argument
to show that railroads develop a
country. have done much
to make (Georgia what she is, and
thex’ xv’i’f do much more. A great
deal ■>('the railroad property of the
sta-e is owned by Georgians, and a
eery large part of it represent North
ern' capital. It is safe to predict,
perhaps, that while the railroad com
mission is clothed with its present
extraordinary powers neither Geor
gians nor Northern Capitalists will
put much money into new railroads
in Georgia. The receipts of the
_ lr o. i i; * l.,'ili,„x.l kavo filllcil
| off largely, and its stock has suffered
la marked decline. The reason*is
said to he the remarkable rulings of
the railroad commission.
There is no reason why the rail
roads which have done so much to
make the state rich and great should
now be dealt xvith as if they xvere a
public enemy. If the report of the
legislative committee shows that
they are oppressed and are suffering
from wrongs which can be remedied,
it is expected that the legislature
xvill not be slow in providing such
remedies as appear to be necessary,

FORSYTH. MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIY, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 14. 1885.
The Outlook for Business in the South.
The outlook for business in the
south this fall is remarably goal, !
despite the general trade and indu;-
triai depression throughout the coun
try Even if there is no decided itto
provement in business this fall else
where, the south at least will, oxn
think, be more prosperous than
several years, provided, of coum,
that no disaster befalls the growing
crops, which at present give prom is.
of xx’ondcrfully good yields, ft is
everywhere admitted that the condi
tion of the cotton crop has rarefy
ever been better than it now is, and
that unless it is seriously damaged’;
the yield will not be less than 7,500,* ;
000 bales, and possibly considerably !
more. This, its ex r ery one xvill under-g
stand, cannot be counted upon as 3
certainty, but so far advanced is the
plant, and so excellent its conditions
that a large yield is a reasonable ex
pectation. The stock of cotton in,-
in xvorld's markets is greatly redue-,
ed, as compared xvith last year, and
hence a very large crop may not',
unduly depress prices. Moreover, ail
the crop has been produced at al
much lower cost than in former'!
years, planters can better afford to
sell at a smaller price than in other
seasons. There is no doubt but
that a cotton crop of 7,500,000 bales
or over, xvould vastly stimulate
trade and industrial interests in the
south, and would largely assist in in-i
creasing the prosperity ot ali South
ern railroad and steamship lines.
In addition to the fine cotton pros
pects, there are good indications of
an unusually big corn crop. The
acreage in corn is large, and the
condition of the growing plant re*
markahly good. In fact, the sou f (
is now promised of corn, as ofeotte’
the largest crop ever product an d.(
With abundant yields of these ♦ vo
crops, the leading staples produ ed
in the south, a year of great aeti’ ty
in business may be counted it on
with reasonable certainty. St* :ks
of goods generally are very lo\x r , ti
mers have for two years economi ed
and put off'the purchase.of agr ;i
--tural implements, the improve® ant.
of their dwellings, and the part l*'
of household goods, and hem L
their crops are large, they w*' ’*
liberal buyers, and as merelv* r, t s arc
carrying light stocks tK v would
have to replenish their -applies very
early in the fall. Manufacturers
have ax’oided the outlay of money
for new machinery, whenever prac
ticable, and they, too, under the
stimulus of big crops nd better Bus
iness, xvould be deposed to purchase
more new an*-’ improved machinery.
[,, ;},-organization of now industri
af enterprises, there is even now a
very decided difference in favor of
this year, as compared xvith the
same ti m e 1 ast yea r. During J nnoJ u 1 y
and August, 1884, there xvas a great
dearth ot nexv enterprises in the
south, hut June, 1885, xvas a x*ery
.active month, and the number ot
new manufacturing and mining in
dustries organized xvas very large,
while July starts out well, and
every indication points to considera
ble activity in nexv enterprises dur
ing July and August. The outlook
for prosperous times in the south
this fall is, taking all things into con
sideration, x’ery satisfactory.
INDIAN WRONGS.
The Condition of Affairs as to Lands Ex
posed.
Gen. Edward M. McCook, cx
Governor ot Colorado, has written a
letter to Secretary Lamar, in which,
after quoting from the Revised
Statutes to shoxv that only the Uni
ted States can make any contract
with the Indians for the lease of
their lands, he gives the names of
nine persons or corporations who
control nearly 10,000,000 acres of
land in the Indian Territory, for
which the rental is but one and txvo
thirds cents per acre. He says these
leases are clearly illegal and should
not be permitted the countenance of
an Administration pledged to set its
face against corruption, collusion
and wrong, but that the lessees
should be immediately dispossessed,
notwithstanding the fact that the
leases had the tacit recognizance of
the Department of the Interior under
a former Administration. He con
cludes as follow's:
“The actual facts noxv are that, in
stead of the Indians possessing and
enjoying the benefits designed for
them, their country is overrun xvith
spectators and adventurers of every
degree, xvho have despoiled them of
their property and practically se
questered their birthrights, destroy
ing their opportunities of self sup
port. and leaving them nothing for
the future, xvhile keeping them de
pendent for the present. These men,
who, for the last three years, have
enjoyed covert protection, and have
boldly insisted upon official recogni
tion of their claims, are in many in
stances foreigners, xvho owe no alii
eganee to this Government, and in
all cases ex-ade every duty and obli
gation xvhieh the laws impose upon
American citizens.—This part of the
Indian Country to xvhieh I have
cttlled vour attention is a country
where force reigns and rapine dwells,
where unscrupulous men ask sup
port of the Government and the
army of the United States to protect
them in violating and in ax’oiding
any responsibility for their acts.
These men are apparently represen
tatives ot a great official and finan
cial influence, and seem to have be
hind them an autocratic element
mysterious as it is powerful, xvhieh
banishes from the fair land they now
hold every American citizen who is
not xvith them, or of them, as tres
passers. Their representation to
your department are not the prayers
of the weak appealing tor protection,
but the demands of the strong, who
from a ripe experience, evidently be
lieve that the future and the past
xvill be the same.”
THE EIGHTEENTH GEORGIA.
To Hold a Reunion in Atlanta on the 22d
of July.
i Arrangements have been complet
ed for a reunion of the old Eigh
teenth Georgia regiment, to be had
at Ponce de Leon springs on the 22nd
of this month. Mr. Harry Krousc,
the secretary of the surxdvors asso
ciation, composed of members of this
regiment has been zealously engaged
for several years past in compiling
a complete roll of the members of
the regimont xxho are still living.
The Eighteenth Georgia xvas made
up of the following companies :
The Gate City Guard, of Atlanta.
The Nexvnan Guards.
The Quitman Guards, of Forsyth.
. The Dahlonegah Volunteers.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
of Augusta.
The Walker Light Infantry, ot
Augusta.
The Washington Rifles, ofSanders
ville.
The Southern liights Guards, of
Perry.
The Bainbridge Independents.
The Southern Guards, of Colum
bus.
All of these companies except the
two from Augusta, the Bainbridge
independents and the Dahlonega
...lards have responded to Mr.
Krouse’s request and sent rolls of
their survivors. He hopes to secure
the missing rolls at the coming re
union.
I The regiment xvent out into the
iforvico under "Colonel J. N. Ramsey,
who ilied since the war. O. A. Clark,
>f Augusta, who xvent out as lieuten
ant colonel, succceeded to the com
mand of the regiment when Colonel
Ramsey xvas promoted. G. H.
Thompson then became lieutenant
■?u)joQ^l-jan*i-4. Vy. Anticrsoilj JVIiIJOP.
v J)i\ W. P. Westmoreland was the
surgeon of the regiment, and Mr.
Joseph Thompson, jr., of Atlanta,
xvas its sergeant-major The splen
d/d record made by the Eighteenth
Georgia in the service, is a matter
of history. Since the xvar its stirx’i
vors have had only txvo reunions.
One was at Nexv Holland txvo years
ago, and the other at Sullivan’s is
land last year. Both these reunions
xvere xvell attended, and proved ex
ceedingly pleasant. It is expected
that the meeting to be held in At
lanta on the 22nd will be larger and
more interesting than either of the
others.
The reunion xvill be held at Ponce
de Leon springs, xvhere the day will
he spent m a variety of entertain
ments. Brief speeches, memorials,
anecdotes, a grand dinner, a general
mingling ot the x'etcrans xvill supply
comfort and joy for the souls and
bodies of all xvho come. It is sin
cerely* hoped by the local committee
that all survivors xvho can come to
Atlanta oti the 22nd xxdll do so. It is
thought that fully two hundred xvill
he here. The sons of survivors and
the sons of those xvho fell in the
regiment are invited to be present.
Don’t “Don’t” Too Much.
Life for some people is one per
pctual “don’t.” Our sympathies
were recently enlisted for Freddie, a
little felloxv of five, xvho had been
kept within doors during a long
s.ortn. Ilis mother, a gentle woman,
sit quietly sewing, as she chatted
x'ith a friend. “Don’t do that, Fred
die,” she said, as the child’s whip
liandle beat a light tattoo on the car
pet. A block castle rose—and fell
with a crash. “Don't make n noise,
Freddie.” The boy turned to the
.undoxv, the restless fingers making
vague pictures on the damp pane.
“Don’t mark the xvindow, Freddie,”
interposed the mother; and “don’t
ao into the hall,” she added, as he
opened the door to escape. The
“don’ts” continued at brief interx-als.
At length the small one, seating
himself with a pathetically 7 resigned
air, remained perfectly still for about
a minute. Then, xvith a long-drawn
sigh, he asked: “Mama, is there any
thing I can do?”
There is no surer wa}* to check
confidential intercourse between pa
rent and child, and to retard the de
velopment of his best faculties, than
to create an atmosphere of blame
about him. He will grow unhappy
and discouraged, if not disobedient
and reckless. Far better let some
childish wrong-doings pass unre
proved, than to make your boy feel
that he never quite pleases you.
Wise commendation will not foster
vanity or self-consciousness. A lov
ing word, an appreciative smile, any
sympathetic recognition of real ef
fort is generally more helpful than
many reproofs for failures. Cheek
ex’ll propensities by developing good
ones, rather than by waging a fierce,
direct xvar of extermination. The
result of such training may not be
soon apparent, but in tbe end your
child’s character xvill be broader
and stronger. Wait for the moral
nature to groxv, and be patient, as
God is patient xvith His children.—

The Spontaneous Combustion of Hay.
Chico Chronicle.
A recent discovery made by one
of our farmers may furnish a clue to
many of the supposed incendiary
fires that consumes barns throughout
the country. While removing hay
from his barn he was amazed to dis
cox-er a large spot xvhere the straxv
xvas thoroughly charred, showing
that a fire had been started and be
come smothered for lack of air. The
fact that the burned spot xvas loca
ted in the midst of the hay precluded
the idea that it had been kindled
by human agency. Spontaneous
combustion was the only tenable
theory and it is supposed to have
been caused by placing new hay
upon the crop of the previous year.

THE MORMANS MAD.
The conduct of the Mormons at
Salt Lake City on July 4 with re
spect to the American flag, and the
tone of their journals since that
time in defending their conduct on
that occasion, indicate that they arc
beginning to see that it will be use
less for them to continue the fight
tor polygamy. They are mad, and
hence are acting foolishly. If they
felt that they could defeat the efforts
that are now being made to punish
polygamists, as they have defeated
other efforts for years, they would
not pursue the suicidal course which
they began on July 4.
The Edmunds law has been en
forced much more vigorously since
the democratic party came into
poxver than ever before, and the
conviction of a number of polyga
mists lately has struck terror into
the hearts of the Morman leaders.
Ever since the interview which the
Mormon delegation had with the
President tne Mormons have realized
that they have no reason to hope for
leniency from this administration.
The polygamists ought to be
shown no favors. They have out
raged the laws of the land and of
decency long enough. President
Cleveland’s administration xvill take
its place in history as one of the
great administrations if it shall suc
ceed in destroying polygamy.
That the Mormons realize that a
crisis in their affairs has been
reached there can be but little doubt.
It is said that in very many instances
the polygamists hax-e sent their
polygamous wives away to distant
parts of the territory under assumed
names in order to avoid being pros
ecuted. They have a pretty clear
idea of their danger.
H’L in ftnotLor tlial in
significant and is attracting atten
tion. It is that Joseph Smith, a son
of the founder of Mormonism, is
preaching in Salt Lake city to large
congregations. He does not, as is
well knoxv, belie\ r e in polygamy,
and his father did not behex*c in it.
Polygamy was introduced by Brig
ham Young, and the polygamists are
known as Brigamites, while the Mor
mons who do not believe polygamy
are known as Josephites. At one
time there xvere a dozen sects among
the Mormons. Noxv there are only
these two. It is alleged by Joseph
Smith that the Mormons of the
Brigamite sect hax-e not increased
within the last four years, xvhile the
Josephites have multiplied rapidly
and have grown prosperous.
It is hardly probably that the ill
feeling at Salt Lake, between the
Gentiles and Mormons, on account
of the flag incident xvill show itself
in anything more than threats, but
if there should be a resort to arms it
is pretty certain that the government
would utilize the opportunity to
make it clear to the Mormons that
polygamy in Utah has had its day.
Kiss Mother.
A father talking to his careless
daughter, said: “I want to speak to
you of your mother. It may be that
you have noticed a careworn look
upon her face lately it has not been
brought there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away.
I want you to get up to-morrow
morning and get breakfast, and when
your mother begins to express her
surprise go right up and kiss her on
the mouth. You cant imagine how it
will brighten up her dear face. Be
sides, you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back when you were little,
she kissed you, when no one else
was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swolen face. You were
not so attractive then as now. And
through those childish years of sun
shine and shadows, she was always
ready to cure by the magic of a
mother’s kiss, the tittle dirty, chub
by hands whenever they were injur
ed in their first skirmishes with this
rough, cold world. And then the
midnight kisses with which they
routed so many bad dreams as she
leaned over your restless pillow,
have all been on interest these long
years. Of course she is not so pret
ty and kissable as you are, but if you
had done your share of the work
during the past ten years, the con
trast would not be so marked. Her
face has more wrinkles than yours—
tar more—and yet if } r ou were sick
that face would appear more beauti
ful than any angel’s as it hovered
over you, watching every opportuni
ty to minister to your comfort; and
every one of those wrinkles would
appear as bright wavelets of sun
shine chasing each other over her
dear face. She will leave you some
one of these days. These burdens, if
not lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. Those rough,
hard hands that did so many unnec
essary things for you, will be cross
ed upon her lifeless breast. Those
neglected lips that gave you your
first baby kiss, will be closed forever,
and those tired eyes will have open
ed in eternity, and then you will
appreciate your mother; but it will
be too late.”—Ex.

The Planets in July.
Providence Journal.
July is one of the finest months of
the year for the study of the stars.
Venus is evening star, coming to
the front once more, and winning
her legitimate place at the head of
the planetary roll.
Venus sot on the Ist about a quar
ter after 8 o’clock in the evening;
on the 31st she sets about 8 o'clock.
Mercury is evening star, his course
lying ner that of Venus during the
month.
Mercury set on the Ist soon after
half past 7 o'clock in the cx*ening; on
the 31st he sets about 8 o’clock?
Jupiter is evening star, and di
vides the honors of the July even
ing sky with Venus.
Jupiter set ou the Ist soon after
10 o clock in the morning; on the
31st he sets at twenty-one minutes
after 8 o’clock.
Uranus is evening star, no has
completed his passago sex*en years
through the constellation Leo, and
has entered the constelation Virgo.

spicuous object, rising a few minutes
before 2 o’clock.
Mars is morning star. There are
no changes during the month in |the
classification of the planets as morn
ing and evening stars. Venus, Mer

east side of the sun, and shine as
evening stars. Saturn, Mars and
Neptume are on the west side of the
sun, and play their parts as morning
stars.

FISH HAS HIS HAIR CROPED.
Duly Registered as No. 19,654 and Ready
for Work.
•
It is doubtful if the friends of
James I). Fish, the banker, xx ho saxv
him reclining in an easy chair in the
president’s room of the Marine bank,
would recognize in the shaven and
shorn convict, who now is knoxvn as
No. 19,054, the same man. The
prison clothier and barber have en
tircly changed his appearance. His
beard is shaved and the circle of hair
about lus head is cut short. A suit
of clothing, ill-fitting, patched, and
evidently having seen previous ser
vice, but perfectly clean, xvas gix r en
him. He made no complaint. His
only remark xvhile going through
“the mill” as flic bathroom and bar
ber shop are called, xvas that he sup
posed all new comers passed through
the same ordeal. A nexv suit of
clothing xvill be given him soon, tic
has been assigned to a cell on the
north side of the south wing. It is
known as No. 8 on the fourth gallery,
and from its door can be seen the
handsom lawn in the center of the
prison enclosure. He registered 19,-
654 opposite his name, and on the
clerk’s book is written “misappro
priating funds of a national bank.”
He gave his occupation as “President
of ths Marine National Bank.” His
age is 64, and lie said he had had
educational and religious advantages-
He weighs 165f pounds, and is fi\ r e
feet six and one-halfinches in height.
No work has been given him, al
though an effort will be made to find
him some light labor to occupy his
time. A number of convicts obtain
ed permission to speak to him, but
he did not seem inclined to talk.
He took breakfast and dinner in the
mess hall and ate moderately.
Conversation.
A ready, easy and discreet talker
is one of the rarest characters met
with in society. And yet there is
scarcely a single other accomplish
ment that can render one so charm
ing as can this. We are filled with
admiration for him at once, and if
he be a person of fair character, we
find ourselves craving hisfriendship,
that we may revel in the luxury of
the words that fall from his lips.
Good conversational powers give a
man an influence among his fellows
that he would never wield without
it, and he who would help to elevate
his race can do no better than to
cultivate this rare gift. We also are
in sorry need of it in our homes.
There is great and lasting good to
be accomplished by the parents in
moulding the characters of their
children and developing their young
minds, to say nothing of the impor
tant work of perfecting their con
versational powers, by simply con
versing well in the family circle.
Children are good listeners and ad
mirable imitators; they will hear
what you say and note how you say
it. If you allow your table and fire
side talks to be groveling in their
nature, or gossip in any way un
worthy of you as cultivated men and
women, you need expect nothing
better of the children than that the}'
will talk as father and mother do.
If you indulge in “expressive” slang,
so will they, and much also that is
neither expressive nor fit for “ears
polite.
The New Orleans Pieaynne say:
“More is required of the young ladies
in society than of young men. A
young man need not be beautiful,
need not sing, play or say anything
intelligent. He may be positively
idiotic, and yet get on well in socie
ty, as is shown in numerous instan
ces.” This is a severe indictment,
and may account for some degener
ation in this age.
