An Inebriate Asylum.
Tim !n*d legislature of our state
< r<-:it<-<I I)v resolution a committee to
“investigate the utility an I feasibili
ty of establishing in this state an
asylum forth'* caro of in< briates and
those addicted to opiates.” This ac
tion of our representatives strikes us
as a wise step in the light direction.
Such an institution is certainly one
ol'the needs of (ieoriria. To say that,
j f a man contracts the habit oi ineb
riety and brings upon himself moral
degradation and final ruin, lie
is at fault docs not answer
t.ho question of earcing for
this unfortunate class. Many prom
ising sons of Georgia have filled
homes with misery and grief and
have gone down in premature death
through this channel from the want
of care and attention. Too often is
it true that our sober people, those
who are free from the demoniacal
appetite for stimulants, look with
scorn and contempt upon, and turn
with loathing and digust from, a fel
low creature because he is drunk, and
considered below their level. 'Thus
shoved off as a fit associate for only
the vile of earth, the poor inebriate
sinks deeper into the depths of in
infamy an I becomes more strongly
gripped in the clutches of the de
stroyer. Such treatment is not cal
culated to win this unfortunate class
back to sobriety, to habits of industry
and to ways of truth and usefulness.
Owing to this individual ostracizing
of inebriates, it is the more necessary
that there should be a place for their
safety, a place where they can be
eared for and kindly treated, a place
for their probable restoration. And
ivbat better place can be bad for
them than an asylum especially
adapted to their needs?
Men fall in this manner through
their weakness. Hut after the fall,
how they fell, or in what manner
they were lead to their fall, is not
the question to consider. On the
contrary how to restore them, how
to reclaim them, how to save them
from ultimate ruin are questions of
importance.
It is to bo hoped thatthocommitco
who have this work in charge, will
group together before tho assembling
of the next legislature, such statistics
and such data as will load to tho im
mediate ost ab 1 ish men t, of an appropr i
- asylum for the poor unfortunate
inebriates of Georgia.
Stick to the Facts.
There seems to be upon the part of
news gatherers a predisposition to
ombelish and add to facts until the
facts are totally unrecognizable
when returned to the point of origin.
Why is this? Is it because the
public appetite is being so trained as
to become perfectly crazed with
hunger for sensational news? Ifso,
then public appetite is radically dis
eased and prompt efforts should be
made to remedy the same. Not only
are facts distorted, embelishcd and
enlarged by news gatherers aud news
carriers until swollen beyond all
reasonable proportions, but even
mere intimations and floating rum
ors are caught up and spread out
upon th* waves of circulation with
such emphasis that they are dumped
into the budget of current news as
actual facts.
This result obtains from that class
properly denominated tattlers, who,
in mingling with tho human family,
assume the prerogative to keep up
the sensational. Even newspaper
reporters, who of all others ought to
adhere strictly to facts, not infre
quently so distort their news items
as to render them immensely sensa
tional, when, it restricted to naked
facts, they would excite no comment,
much less sensation. Under this
rabid erazo and hungry appetite for
the sensational, how many people
stop to consider the effect, and ulti
mate result of this prevaritieation of
facts? Owing to this common prac
tice of enlarging facts a slight, and
perhaps unintentional, departure
from the right upon the part of a
lellow being is often the basis of a
rumor that makes that individual a
villain to be dreaded by the general
public. In the same way a little act
of indiscretion and imprudence is
often distorted into a gross violation
of the laws of gentility, and a blot is
impressed upon the tail* character of
someone who is perfectly innocent
of any intentional crime. If there
l>e any other motive in this practice
than to cater to the appetite for sen
sationalism, wo have been unable to
discover it. And if this be the ob
ject then the sooner the habit be
suppressed, the better for people
generally.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER: FORSYTH. GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 1888—EIGHT PAGES.
Cotton and Credit.
The following from the Rockford,
Ala Enterprise, written for the bene
fit of the fanners of that slate is
equally applicable t<> the farmers <d
this section of Georgia. It contains
a very large grain of truth, and
treals upon a subject that our fann
ers will do well to consider now in
the very beginning of their prepara
tions for another crop. No man can
be an independent farmer who
grows no oilier crop but cotton, and
lives on credit. No man can be an
ideal farmer. —a farmer, that builds
up and makes better his country ; a
farmer, enjoying ease and comfort,
who does not grow his needed sup
plies on his farm. On this subject
the Enterprise says :
‘•The ideal fanner, and the ideal
farm life is the happiest, the most rest
ful anu withal the most independent,
that can he lived. II is frugal habits,
simple tastes and honest industry
always insure plentiful harvest and
a contented life. It has been the
theme of many a poet and many a
song that inspired the immortal
author of “The Cotter’s Saturday
Night.”
What a comparison our farmers
bear to the ideal farmer! The farm
er is a man who tills the soil—this is
his life business; day by day and
year by year—he lives on what he
makes from the soil, and he makes a
surplus, which in the aggregate sup
plies the balance of mankind with
food and drink and raiment. This
is an aphorism that is as true as any
thing that is. And yet what are the
farmers of this country doing, as a
class, in this direction? Nothing.
Are they not consumers rather than
producers? It looks like it. Do they
grow a surplus of bread stuff? No.
Do they raise a surplus of meat?
No. Do they grow a surplus of cot
ton ? Yes and no. Cotton is all sur
plus because they do not spin or
weave it anymore—and it is no sur
plus because it takes it all to pay the
expenses of making it, and often
leaves the farmer in debt. Is this
not true ? Has not the history of this
country for twenty years past con
vinced you that it is true? Well,
then there is something radically
wrong about it. And it’s time that
thinking men should call a halt. Tho
farmers of this country are in the
ruts, and they must get out, it they
ever prosper.
It is strange that our farmers, with
the bluest skies that ever canopied
any land —with a climate unsurpass
ed by any in the world for agricul
tural purposes—with a soil produc
tive in quality and variety of crops
not excelled by any country under
the sun, with almost a total exemp
tion from the prolonged drouths that
famish the crops in other countries—
exempt alike from parching heats
and from frigid colds—where every
day in the round year may be
utilized to some purpose—with pure
air and never failing fountains of
water—and last, but not least,
good health, —is it not strange that
our farmers are not prosperous and
happy?
Is it not passing strange that they
stick with such tenacity to a system
of farming, which an experience of
twenty years proves to be disastrous?
W here is the trouble? Is it wrapped
up in a mystery? Is it duo to a
high tariff, high taxes or internal
revenue? No. While they have
had a heavy load to carry with high
tariff, high taxes and internal reve
nue, we see individual instances
where the farmer has prospered, with
all this.
Ask any farmer of ordinary in
telligence what is the cause, and our
word for it, lie will tell you: “It is
cotton! It is cotton and credit!”
Let it a Lone.
Under tho above heading the
Marietta Journal sends out the
following very sensible suggestion
on the subject of repealing the inter
nal revenue. The Journal says:
“As the ten southern states—Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Caroli
na, Georgia, Alabama, Lousiana,
Florida, Mississippi, Texas, aud Ten
nessee—paj' only six million, eight
hundred and four thousand, one hun
dred and four dollars of revenue on
whisky and tobacco, and the ten
northern states, Illinois, Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Indiana, lowa, California, Wisconsin
and New Jersey, pay seventy-seven
millions, eight hundred and thirty
seven thousand and sixty-eight dol
lars on these two articles, why should
the south urge the repealing of this
tax on the luxuries, and increase the
tax on the necessities in order to pay
Federal pensions? The south gets
no pensions and the north does,
therefore let tiiat section continue to
pay the bulk of the revenue tax.
Georgia only pays §304,384.29 reve
nue tax on whisky and tobacco and
it comes out of those who make, sell
ami use these unnecessary articles,
and if a man don’t use them, he will
pay none of the tax.”
W ith facts staring us in tho face
and they are facts, why should the
south trouble herself with an effort
to repeal tho internal revenue while
these war pensions, of which she gets
none, are to be paid ? Through what
other channel can this pension bur
den be made lighter upon the south
ern tax payer than through that of
the present internal revenue?

Hnwley on the Blair Bill
In sumirig up his argument in a
speech against the {Pair educational
bill in flic senate on the 14lh inst.,
Senator Hawley said :
“In my judgment, this bill, glori
ous as the cause is, faeinating as the
arguments in favor of education al
ways are —is a bill creeping in to
control interests, which from INym
outhrock up to this day, have been
under local control, and wisely so.
It is a bill to promote mendicaey and
to cultivate beggars. It is a bill
declaring the failure of local self
government in one of the supreme
interests of the people. It falsely
declares the bankruptcy of states
which before our very eyes, are rich
and growing. It makes an ineffect
ual, if not false pretence of temporary
action. It is not for eight years—itis
the beginning of a permanent policy;
of a permanent new relation between
federal government and the states.
It never will go back and never will
diminish; but its influence will grow.
I hope the bill will be defeated. I
wish that every senator would vote
upon it just exactly as he feels about
it, and not as being bound by resolu
tions of state legislatures or previous
committals, or anything of that sort.
The longer the bill is thought of and
talked of, the weaker it grows, and
nearer to constitutional right and jus
tice tho people and congress are
coming. lam willing to see the bill
defeated, by any constitutional
means, whether by the house, by the
senate or by the president.”
These words of Senator Hawley
have t!io true ring in them. This
bill may bear upon its face apparent
promises of good to the people, but
should it become a law and be put
into execution, it will never verify
these promises. It is but a galvan
ized effort upon the part of origina
tors to get control through tho
national government of an interest
that should never bo under federal
control, if it is nota longstride toward
the centralization of power in the
federal government, then we misap
prehend its intent. Our educational
is one of the last interests that should
be permitted to pass out of and be
yond local control. This bill says to
each of tho states, you aro too poor
to educate your children, and wo, a
grand central power propose to pay
the tuition (out of your own pockets)
and educate them for you, while be
hind this proposition lurks tho
intent to dictate how, and the terms,
socially or otherwise, upon which
they shall be educated. Away with
the Blair bill, and ail other similar
national educational bills, and let
Georgia rise up in her majesty and
power and assert her willingness and
ability to educate her own children
in such manner as will redound to her
future good and growth.
ITloore’s iiimmcss University*
Atlanta, and we may say the south
at large, is justly proud of this widely
known institution. It has reached its
majority, having been in successful
operation for more than a quarter of
a century. During this time it has
matriculated nearly four thousand
students, a large per centage of whom
are now in iirst-elass business posi
tions. Not a few of them are as
favorably known on change as was
Antonio on the Rialto at Venice. -
We share the conviction of Horace
Mann the great educator, that parents
should give their boys a good busi
ness education, whether they propose
to be merchants, book-keepers or
otherwise. Such a training as they
receive at Moore’s university will
secure success in life far better than
the study of the so-called Humanites.
Latin and Greek sometimes serve a
useful purpose, but they are not readi
ly translated into food and raiment
and lodging.
The system of teaching is thorough
ly practical. The student from the
day of his entrance commences actual
business, and continues until he
leaves or graduates. This feature
does not obtain in any other business
college nortli or south, and it at once
commends itself to the sound judg
ment of patron and pupil. Tho col
lege building is a handsome three
story structure, conveniently located
on Alabama street, and the study
halls are spacious, nicely furnished,
properly heated and well ventilated.
Amongst other branches taught are
single and double entry book-keeping,
plain and ornamental penmanship,
commercial arithmetic, political
economy, mercantile law, insurance,
banking, etc. The local patronage is
large and steadily increasing, and
from all parts of Georgia and adjoin
ing states the patronage is growing
from year to year. As public journal
ists we could not say too much of the
high qualifications of President
Moore. Under his personal supervis
ion everything is conducted. He is
assisted by a faculty unsurpassed by
any similar institution in the United
States. It invites thorough investi
gation as to its methods and actual
results. Air. Aloore, the president,
will attend promptly to any corres
pondence, and would he glad to re
ceive visitors who may desire a per
sonal interview at his olfiee, at No.

A Friena in Need.
Some time ago i gave one dollar
to a poor friend of mine, who was
down in bed, not expected to live.
Consumption, that dread disease, had
gained a hold on him, which would
relax only when death claimed him.
1 bade him good-bye, hardly expect
ing to see him alive again, but to my
surprise, the next time I saw him,
he was much better, and he told me
that he had invested the dollar I
gave him in a bottle of brewer's
Lung Restorer, and it had improved
him so much, that he thought if lie
could only take it for a few weeks it
would cure him. I bought him
several bottles, which he is now on,
and it has improved him so much
that he is able to walk a mile or
two, something which he has not
done before in a year, and I am con
fident Brewer’s Lung Restorer will
cure him entirely.

ler of Declination Lie
A special to the Constitution from
Washington, Feb. lfl, says: Tlmmt
has been considerable excitement
among the democrats here to-day,
on account of the rumor which
the Post published this morn
ing to the effect that if
the democratic part}' in congress
failed to redeem the pledges which
the party bad made to the country,
or hesitated to follow the path which
the president had so plainly marked
out, Mr. Cleveland would write a
letter similar to that just given out
by Mr. Blaine, and decline to allow
his name to go before the democratic
convention.
It has been urged by believers in
the rumor that Mr. Cleveland is al
ready on record as being opposed to
a second term, and that he has in
no way given evidence that he de
sires a renomination, and if the par
ty should fail to see the wisdom of
his action in bringing the tariff for
ward as an issue of the campaign, he
would decline to remain at the head
of a party, which only nominally
acknowledge his leadership.
Mr. Mills, chairman of tho ways
and means committee, in discussing
Mr. Cleveland’s possible declination,
said he did not believe anything
would swerve him from the position
he has taken. “His message will be
his platform, and ho will be nomina
ted upon it.”
He says he has an idea his tariff
bill will he defeated. As soon as
the bill is ready he will submit it to
a democratic caucus. He believes
some democrats will oppose it, but
there will be enough republicans
with it to counteract this democrat
ic defection. He is afraid the dem
ocratic party might lose Louisana
on tho sugar question, but if Louisi
ana can’t accept a democratic state.
He believes the democrats will gain
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and tho
northwest.
“But,” says he, “if I am mistaken,
I can only say that the failure of a
tariff bill to pass this house this ses
sion, through a combination of dem
ocrats and republicans, would arouse
such a storm of indignation among
tho democrats that the party would
be solidified and rally around Mr.
Cleveland all the more enthusiastic.
We are going before the country
with an issue, and I do not beiieve
Mr. Cleveland is going to desert the
ship.”
The ways and means bill, if re
ported as it has beon represented,
cannot possibly pass tho house, but
the democrats are almost solid in
favor of Mr. Cleveland as their can
didate, and the better posted ones
do not believe lie will decline the
nomination. However, this remains
to be seen.”
