PLACE MEN ON THEIR HONOR.
No man is acqitted of hts obliga- ;
tion to pay a debt because the claim |
against him is outlawed. After a ,
debt is outlawed the law declares, ;
not that the debt is canceled, but
that the creditor can no longer avail ;
himself of the machinery of tho law ;
to collect it. The honor and faith
of the debtor are in no wise dis
charged of the moral obligation to
pay, which even increases with the
lapse of time *t has been seriously
proposed to do away entirely with
legal methods of collecting debts,
and there is much to be said in favor
of the plan. It would at least place
men on their honor. Mere wealt.i
without character would no longer
ho a passport to extensive credit,
and it would place a practical pre
mium upon integrity.—New York
Market Journal.
There is pith and point in the
above paragraph that well deserves
the consideration of every man.
When the individual transactions,
the special statutes and court rec
ords of Georgia for the last twenty
years are closely scrutnized, the
truth of that paragraph will be more
clearly seen. Tho legalized efforts
to evado the payment of just debts
during that period, have been many.
We are glad to behove these efforts
are growing less.
The point brought out in the
above extract is that whenever a
man contracts a moneyed obligation
no law can possibly relieve him of
the moral obligation to discharge
the same, nor can any other power
absolve him from it save the obligee.
Here crops out two mistakes the
southern people mudo twenty years
ago. The first was entering into
tho credit system ; the second
and more fatal mistake was in bas
ing that system upon a collecting
law rather than upon the honor of'
tho man or mon asking for credit.
Any proposition betwon a creditor
and debtor that intimates or points,
in the most remote manner, to legal
power to torco the collection ot the
proposed debt, bears upon its very
face the evidonce of distrust in the
honor an t honesty of the debtor.
Even the enactment of a law giving
to the oro.titor power to torce the
collection of money from the debtor,
implies to a greater or less extent,
the absence ot honor in the debtor
class. At first view this may not
seem to be true, yet a strict analysis
of such a law developes this truth.
And if all collecting laws wero re
pealeJ and rendered void this truth
would become so patent as that a
“way-faring man. though a fool''
would see it, from the very fact that
the creditor class would become di
minutively small.
But say some, if 3*oll do Sway
with the collecting law. what would
}*ou substitute in ’ts place? We re
ply, nothing but the debtor’s honor.
And hero we assume that if the hon
or ot a trading people is not suffi
cient to give them credit, then
’txvere belter for them to have no
credit system. Indeed we strongly
incline to the opinion that such a
system would tend to rapidly
strengthen the honor and persona)
i ntogrity ot ant* people who trafic and
trade among themselves, and would
readily establish confidence between
man and man. And with this view
of the subject, we would in the lan
guage ot the journal, say “place men
on their honor.

THE MONROE ADVERTISER: FORSYTH, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1886—EIGHT PAGES.
The Governor’s Message.
In this document the Govenor re- j
views, in a lucid manner the opera
tions of the different departments ot
the state government for the last
3*ear. He shows the financial con
dition of the state to be excellent.
There seems to he no doubt that the
new state capitol will he completed
within the time specified in the ael !
authorizing its construction. The
comments upon the penitentiar}* J
show that there are now 1527 con
victs. It also appears that there is
a diminution of reeepts from fees for
anul}'zing fertilizers ; and the Gov
ernor suggests that this doubtless
grows out of the fact that the far
mers of the state are husbanding
more carfully '.lie fertilizing resour
ces on their farms. We hope this is
true as great error on this line has
been committed b)* farmers in the
past. From the message we learn
that the total amount available for
school purposes, including the state
school fund and special taxes raised
b\ T towns and counties, was, $705,-
791, 57,
The governor touches upon the
military organizations of the state,
and intimates the propriety of state
aid to them, that they may be made
more efficient,; the legislature would
do well to give this subject proper
consideration. The Lunatic Asy-
Inm is shown to be in excellent con
dition, the total number of patients
receiving treatment there during the
3*ear being 1628. The number
in attondanco at the Acade
my for tho blind is shown to be 91,
the largest number in tho history of
that institution. Also at the Insti
tute for the deaf and dumb, ninet}*
one were maintained and instructed
during the year.
On the subject ot hanks the gov
ernor sa vs:
The system of savings banks, with
provisions to secure prudent man
agement, and to encourage small do
posits, is one of the pressing needs
of the state. Nothing can contrib
ute so much to tho prosperity of a
people as habits of thrift and econo
my. These depend largely upon the
facilities furnished for the accommo
dation and employment of little sav
ings. The sums thus accumulated
under judicious direction foster en
terprise, increase production and ex
tend commerce.
In this connection tho laws relat
ing to banks and bankers should bo
ravimid po as to subject the book ß7
accounts and assets to personal ex
aminations by a state official charg
ed with that dut}\ Tho time max*
not be distant when state banks will
be permitted to issue bills for circula
tion, and provision should he made
to commend them to public confi
deuce.

The Houses Again Shaken.
About 12 m. Friday another
earthquake wave struck Forsyth,
by which the buildings in the city
were jarred and shaken. The vibra
tory motion of the courthouse, in
which our office is located was verv
perceptible, and its duration, a sev
idenced by the rattling of the win
dows, was several seconds. No
alarm was manifested, though it
was one of the severest shocks felt
here since August 31st. It was
more sex-ere on the coast, as appears
from the following:
Sax'annah. November s.—Quite a
severe earthquake shock, the vibra
tions lasting ten or fifteen seconds,
occurred here to day while the clock
in the citx* exchange tower was
striking 12, noon, sun time. It is
generally pronounced the worst we
have had since ihe great shock ot
the night ot August 31, though
many people on the streets and
ground floors did not notice it at all.
It was accompanied by the usual
roaring, rushing sound, which was
distinctly audible. The rattling
ami jarring of buildings occasioned
great alarm. Thousands of people
rushed out of their houses, ami
there were panics at several of the
public schools, though fortunately
no one was seriously injured, and no
damages of consequence to build
ings is reported. Clocks in many
parts of the city stopped.
At lYbee the shock was proba
bly more severe than in the city,
and at Thunderbolt tidal waves
similar to the wash caused b\* a
passing steamer appeared in tin*
harbor. The alarm quicklx* subsi
ded and people returned to business,
though the schools were dismissed
for the day. Very many persons
feel apprehensive of a more severe
visitation, though the camps in the
squares and parks will not be re-es
iab!i>hed. as the citx* authoiitics
will not tolerate them, deeming the
danger from exposure mueu greater
than that from the earthqake shocks.
Policemen on duty reported a slight
shock about 2 o'clock this morning.

Hard Times.
The Union and Recorder, Mi 1 led -
geville, writing on the above subject
regards the protective tariff as the
chief, the greatest of ail 1 he causes of I
the industrial depression of our coun
try, and claims that it bears more
heavily upon the agricultural classes
than it does upon any other class.
Viewing the subject from our stand
point we reach about the same con
clusion. In concluding its article
the Recorder says:
Agriculture is tho foundation of
all prosperity, ami when the tillers
ohthe soil who can do more than all
others combined to maintain it, are
trampled upon, and that, too, in vio
lation of the constitution by legal
robbery, or rather by robber)- in ap
parently legal forms, our hopes van
ish into the air. t ea, into despair.
Many farmers in their anxiety to
succeed have mortgaged their farms
and homes in the vain hope of better
success, onl}- to find themselves de
prived of them by th* 1 mortgages.
They are first robbed oftheir money
by tne iniquitous tariff', and then
despoiled of their homes !>}* those
who loan them money at enormous
per cents. The only safe measure
of relief is in the reduction of the
tariff. That puts the coils of ruin
around the agriculturist, and without
his assistance, by fail- and honest
means and measures, the troubles of
the country w ill grow worse from
)-ear to 3-ear.
The Chronic Grumbler.
An exchange closes its* comments
on the chronic grumbler with the
following:
If he goes to church lie don’t like
the sermon because the preacher
does not exactly suit his (the growl
er's) idea on the subject. If he sends
his children to school he declares the
teacher is worthless and don’t under
stand his business. He falls out
with the miller because he takes too
much toll. He don't think the doc
tor nndestands how to give medicine,
and is guilty of malpractice. He
looks upon every officer as a bad man
and very corrupt. The fact is he
thinks the great ruler of the uni
verse should have consulted him
before he put the world into motion.
Thus, he tames and frets, and like
the maddened serpents gets so an
gry that he bites himself and the
poison of iiis env}*, malice and ill
nature, goes back into himself, poi
somng his whole body and soul, and
nis life wears away, in darkness and
misery without one ray of sunbeam
to stone in and warm his cold,
gloom)-, miserable, contracted soul;
and he dies and is buried. No one
will regret Ins loss, or honor his
grave with a flnver or dampen it
with a tear.
To Our Nubocrivcru,
YVe write these lines in no captious
spirit. But the time for paying up
has come, and newspaper men, like
men of other business, have debts to
pay; and to enable us to do this, we
now appeal to those subscribers who
are in arrears with us, to come up
and help us. The small amount that
each individual subscriber may owe
us, isolated and alone, may seem to
be but little help; but when a num
ber of these small amounts are gath
ered together they afford us much
help. Aiid now that the time has
come when we need these small
amounts, we appeal to you to come to
our aid. The present is your money
season, and the best time to pay debts
s when you have the money. YVe
need what you owe us. Will you
help us now?
