FIUNKYISM.
To anv one who closely watches
the daily events and current hap- ;
pollings. and takes cognizance of the
savings of men. it is quite clear that .
the spirit of money worship is get-j
ting hold it|)on people- almost ev- j
cry where. And strange it is that ;
the stronger this hold grows, tlie j
greater apparently become* the pov- ;
<rty of the people with a few excep
tions. The desire tor money, and to |
obtain money is almost universal, i
Indeed 'tis ‘difficult, somewhat, to ;
find an individual whose attention is i
not engrossed with the question
**how to make or obtain money.
Nrw the getting of money, when it
is done legitimately, is right, proper,
and even laudable. And when
money is rightly used, and for
praiseworthy objects, it is a great
blessing.
But it is not of money, making
that we would write. In addition to
the spirit of money worship, there is
also manifest among a great many
people —shall we say nearly all—a
disposition to pander to those who
have money ; in other words a kind
of bowing down to those who are
considered or classed as’“rich;-” a
looking up to, and courting the
favor of men, simply because they
arc rich. This spirit is manifesting
itself in a greater or less degree,
amoj)g all classes, in all depart
me tuts,' and even in our legislative
and congressional halls.
And if there is any one species of
flunkyism upon the earth that is
more deserving of the disgust and
contempt of all right thinking peo
ple, than any other, it is that of pan
dering to a man simply because he
is rich.
Special courtesies are often exten
ded to, and much parade made over,
persons not because they are Chris
tian heroes, statesmen or philan
thropists, but simply because they
are rich. A man may he rich, and
yet possessed ot no redeeming trait,
lie may be rich and exercise no
benevolence, but use his money to
oppress the poor. Indeed his riches
may have been obtained through a
species ot brigandage, that strips
him of all honor and integrity, and
renders him an untit associate for
the virtuous and good. Then, are
we, simply because a man is rich, to
pan<Ter to, to coquette and honor,,
him? To do this is hut to under
estimate true merit, true worth and
true manhood, and to beget a spirit
of flunkt'ism-worship tnat is un
worthy n noble, and a brainy people.
To do this is hut to confess a weak
ness that ill-befits an independent
people.
It we would accord to any man,
preferment, honor, praise and adora
tion, let it he done upon his true
merit, evidenced by the cultivation
and exercise of those higher, nobler
and grander traits that are within ;
by his continued devotion to, and
furtherance of, those grand princi
ples which tend to morally elevate
and happify humanity.
This bowing, cringing, pandering
and acknowledging allegiance to
the rich, simply because they are
rich is not only contcmptablc flunky
ism, but a subversion ot those grand
principles of magna-charta, upon
which our liberties, as freemen, rest.
Away with it—and let honor he ac
corded to whom and le.
. Nice fat beef and pork, all the time
at the new market. \

-
AniKUer Enterprise.
Last week we heard sounding
within our corporate limits, a shrill
note which' we recognized as being
quite different from those emulating
from , the whistles attached to the
grand engines of the great Central.
We soon thereafter learned that our
enterprising mechanic, Mr. D. F.
Bennett, had received and placed in
position his engine for driving the
planing mill which he has established
in our midst.
We congratulate Mr. Bennett on
this enterprise which has been a felt
want. We trust this is the iniatorv
step to other enterprises in our midst,
which it strikes us, can be made pay
ing institutions. By combination
of machinery, this one engine might
be made to drive other machines for
manufacturing purposes, which, prop
erly managed, might be made sources
of income, and open up avenues of
employment for quite a number.
Taking into consideration the easy
access to the materials for that pur
pose. why can not plow handles, hoe
handles, axe handles, curry combs,
water buckets and other useful and
necessary implements, be manufact
ured as cheaply iu Forsyth as at
other points? These are articles that
we can not dispense with, and for
which'hundreds of dollars go out
from ours, into other sections annual
ly. Why not manufacture them
here and supply those sections whose
facilities for their manufacture are
not such as are ours? Pluck and
enterprise are the mainsprings to this
result. ‘ Who will manifest it by
moving in this direction ?

THE MONROE ADVERTISER: FORSYTH, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1887.—EIGHT PAGES.
i'aruirr’i Clubs.
We hope our readers- in Monroe
read the resolutions on the above
subject published in the Advertiser
last week. We yield the palm-to no
man within the boundary of Monroe
county as to an earnest desire for the
prosperity, welfare and happiness of
her people, one and all. And after
much thought we can conceive of no
letter plan that promises the gratifi
cation of our desire upon this subject,
than that which tends to the promo
tion of our farming interest. Judging
from what has been accomplished in
other localities and in thefurtherance
of other enterprises by organization,
we feel assured that by organizing
farmer’s dubs in different sections of
our count}-, on the plan suggested in
in the resolutions referred to above,
great good will result. The judg
ment, opinion amf experience of each
member of such clubs made known to
the clubs assembled may do, and
doubtless will do, much good; it
will do no harm.
“In union there is strength,” and
when a community of farmers unite
their heads and hearts in furthering
and promoting their farming interest,
beneficial results will follow. Now
that the move on this line has been
made, we hope the farmers generally
throughout the county- will interest
themselves sufficiently in the same to
organize several clubs. This is no
one man movement, but a movement
for the benefit of all. Any effort that
points to an increase of the number
of bushels of corn, peas, potatoes and
small grain, to an increase of the
number of pounds of meat, hay and
cotton from the farm should be en
tered into with zeal by our farmers.
This effort certainly points in that
direction. Hence we say organize
farmer’s clubs.
Ladies try Yelvetia you will like it.
LIVLRY STABLE.
Mr. J. W. Turk is/novv associated
with me in the liybry business and
will give it his personal attention.
Wc will at all ti/fjes have stylish ve
hicles, and the public can at all
times be accom nodatcd. Transient
horses will be well eared for and
groomed our former low prices.
We ask t{*o patronage of all, to ena
ble ns tp make the enterprise self
sustaining and a credit to our town.
