The reduction ot internal revenue

has largely benetitted iho consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of

as the reduction of thirty six cents
per dozen, has been ad led to increase
the size ot the bottles containing
these remedies, therein' giving one

Watermelons vs. Mt. Sinai.
A correspondent to the Christian
Advocate commenting on the Senate
Watermelon Bill concludes with the
following sensible and pointed re
marks :
But the whole question must be
taken out of the domain of Commerce
into that of concience. Change of
venue is as necessary to a verdict
here as in an}' case before the courts
where interest or predjudieo would
embarrass the steps of justice. Even
if it were impossible to save all the
melon crop by only six days’ ship
ment out of every seven, it is better
for the laws to honor God than to
regard mammon. Six days only are
ours. The seventh is the Sabbath,
and it can not be appropriated to
the melon-growers without its sacri
ligious profanation. Public con
science, if not dead, must be very
callous, when such legislation as the
Melon bill does not stir it to indig
nant protest. It is a di-grace to the
senate, a dishonor to the state, and
an insult to the Deity. Melons do
not outweigh the ten commandments.
Legislators are not sent to Atlanta
tii advise us that God made mistakes
in making laws tor men. stiii less to
abrogate his statutes at the dictation
of moneyed interests. The unavoid
able drill of such shameless and
vicious legislation, is to misedueate
the public conscience, and to lift up
the creature to the level, and above
the level, or divine law whenever
money can be made or conveneinee i
served by such moral insurrection.
\N e have enough of that already,,
without further provocation or toler
ation. Bather let us stand by the i
Sabbath, and guard it un- i
friendly citizen or legislate* It is
the sheet-anchor of our civilization,
and the magna charta of a spiritual
Christianity. L. \Y.

M. GREENWOOD,
Smaller Fields—Larger Haivest.
On the above subject the Cultiva
tor contains the following sugges
tions on a line which the Advertis
er has often advocated. It says:
It is self-evident to all thinking
men, who know the common habit
of'planting too much poor land in
stead of planting less and improving
it by fertilizing and culture, that
reformation in this respect is ab
solutely essential to the greatest de
gree of success. It is a fact that men
toil from year to year to realize a
scanty harvest from extended fields,
when if they would cultivate one
iialf, or even one-fourth the number
of acres and do this wise!}', they
would double their harvest and pro
duce at one-half the labor.
Our advice to such as these is to
reduce the cultivation area to one
half: apply to it in large quantity
such fertilizers as are required to
produce a maximum crop of what
ever may be desired; cultivate it
thoroughly, and turn the remainder
of your arable land to rest until tiie
natural causes reclaim it from its
state of exhaustion. If this policy
should be pursued that part of the
farm which is cultivated may, in a
few years, be made as rich as the
richest and increased in value ten
fold. At the same time, that which
is given up to rest will rapidly re
cuperate its wasted forces and will
soon more than double its commer
cial value. By this rule all is to be
gained and nothing lost. Land in
creased in productive power and
commercial value; the necessary la
bor diminished; smaller investments
for utensils and work stock will be
required ; more time allowed for im
provement generally; and an in
creased harvest will crown each vear.
Adopt this suggestion, “smaller
fields and larger harvests,” if’ you
would act wisely and become pros
perous.
liie New York Sun says: “Down
in the south there is a whirling of
now industries and potent specula
tions. No revival, no restoration of
commercial strength and properitv:
but the birth, spontaneous and tre
menbous, of anew people. No long
ger the sluggish cultivation of the
earth, the hand-to-mouth acquire
ment of life'ssustenance by the many,
and the selfish affluence ot the few, j
but anew and tumultuous life, irre- j

These ‘piping times of peace,’ these
long dull days of sunshine with
nothing to he done and nobody to
do it, tiiesc perspiring days of dense
shade and palm leaf fans, cots mos
j quitoes and dirty socks, these sultry
| days of summer, these tire pre-omin
| ently the day when the devil gets in
his dirty work. Gossip, gossip. In
sinuating shakes of the head and
slanderous sighs. Other people’s
business first, last, and all the time.
‘Skeletons’ are dug from musty
closts, polished, renovated and made
to ‘act up, lively. Conditions aired
and compared. The rich man’s
purse and how he filled it, with ac
cent on the how. The poor man's
mortgage and how it was made by
his wife’s extravagonce with accent
on the wife. The sinister motive
which actuates tho man who drops
a quarter instead of a niekle into
the church hat. The shabby dress
of one who could afford better, and
the costly dress on another who
would better darn her every-day
stockings. The old maid and why
she could never marry, and the
young widow and how had she
wants to marry. What food fin
gossip is the widow? With the
deepest sorrow upon Ijer heart, with
the cold world to contend with for
the necessities which husband and
wife together could hardlv earn
with smirking men and patronizing
women to deal with, the widow is
entitled to every reasonable doubt. !
But not so in practice. The widow j
is slovenly if she dresses indiffer- '
entl v, and ‘fast’ if she dresses well. I
If she is out of society she is foolish- '
ly grieving herself away, or, (who j
would have thought it?) carrying I
out some dark design. If she goes
into society she is nearly dead to
marry and ought to he ashamed of 1
her forwardness, and whatever she
may do or not do it was not that j
way -when 1 was young.’ Tried be

The Georgia Convicts.
“Caucasian” writing on the above
' subject to the Evening (Atlanta)
Journal in concluding his article
says :
When murderers, rapists, thieves,
assassins and incendiaries are daily
I held ii] before the world and to the
j rising generation as victims to the
brutal laws of Georgia, and the stat
j utes of our state are painted so black
as would disgrace the dark ages, is it
a matter of surprise that the repub
lican press of the north should take
up thee I*3* and roll it as a sweet morsel
1 under their tongue, and use it as cam
: paign material to defeat the demo
| cratic party. These are only a few
of the dire and baneful sosults which
follow tiiis unwise and dangerous
agitation of our convict system. If
those politicians persist in placing
crime at a premium by holding the
blackest felons up to the public gaze
as deserving of the tender mercies
and bounteous support of the honest
people of Georgia, and denouncing
their well deserved punishment as a
barbarous cruelty, a war of races in
our state will be the inevitable result.
Already has the seed sown by these
ambitious fanatics produced the De
catur riot of a few days since. And
that murderous outbreak of negroes
is but the muttering of the storm
that hangs over our heads. \Y lien
that bloody day comes, as it most
certainly will if this miserable form
of making martyrs of felons is con
tinue!, the blood of every murdered
woman and child in Georgia, like ■
that of the slaughtered marshal of
Decatur, will cling to the hands of]
these designing sentimentalists.
In the name of the honor of Geor
gia. in the name of the murdered
white men by brutal negroes, in the I
name of the outraged white women i
of our state, in the name of democra- I
cy, in flic name of every honest man j
in Georgia, yea, in the name of de- j
cency itself, I appeal to the members i
of our legislature to place upon rec- |
ord their condemnation of all this i
sickly, sentimental agitation which
tends so largely to inflame the pas
sions of an ignorant and debased
race, and among other things will
tax the labor of the honest and toil
ing masses in order that felons raav
live in ease and comfort.
If you feel run down use Chip
man s Tonic Mixture it will build
you up.
In conclusion will say that wo
don t intend to be undersold by any
one, and don’t ask }-ou to trade with
us because you are kin to us, or be
cause you like us, but because we can.
and certainly will save you money.
