DECIDING.
Decision is one of the noble traits
of character. Fixedness of purpose
to do a thing is about half the work
necessary to its accomplishment.
The spirit of decision tolerates no de¬
lay. It looks at once to ti»o uctiotn ,
plishment ot a purpose from the first ,
conception thereof. It stops not to
dally with possible contingencies
that may interfere, but enters at
once upon discharge of the task that
j,-. beloro. A man of decision will
enter upon and obtain the aehiov
mont desired, while the vascillating,
wavering, hesitating mind is debat¬
ing the question as to whether the
task shall be undertaken, This
ditference often accounts for the div¬
ergence in the paths of young men,
who have been nutered undersimular
circumstances and blessed with like
opportunities,
The one decides, acts and moves
onward from success to success; the
other vassillalcs, hesitates, debates
with himself and is borne onward
upon the current of tune from fail¬
ure to failure and accomplishes
nothing.
One difficulty with a great many
boys in the beginning of their young
tnanhood is want of decision as to
what occupation in life the 3 ’ will
persue. To make an honorable
living, or, it 111 : 13 ' be, to make money’
111113 - be their desire, hut the method
by which the 3 ’ propose to do this is,
with them, an undetermined ques¬
tion. They’ start out upon the sea
of uncertaint 3 ' with a view of falling
into whatever vocation -’may present
itself. Hero is where many young
men make a fatal error in the very
beginning.
On this subject ‘'The Watchman
says:
Young men are called upon to
make a selection of occupation or
calling. Many oiie of them are tempted
to go from thing to another,
There is, ’ of course, a right choice.
1 . • is not always , w rong . to make ,
changes. The spirit in which a
choice is made has much to do with
future usefulness as well as happiness

THE MONROE ADVERTISER: FORSYTH, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1888—EIGHT PAGES.
Senate Tarift Bill.
The much talked ofsenate tariff hill
that spent three months in being
born, and was intended as a snbsti
tute to the Mill’s bill, has finally*
found its way to the people.
Coming at the lime it has, and
laden with the proposed reductions
it contains proves it to be more a
farce than otherwise. It fully sub
slantiates the tact that the repulicans
are still persistent in maintaining
tariff protection in such way* as that
it shall continue a burden upon ttie
labormg classes. VY bile it proposes
a tariff reduction of 873,000,000, it
povide.s that this reduction shall he
placed where it will not lighten the
tariff on ncsessarics.
\Y hile it is a confession to the
world that the democratic claim for
a reduction of taxation is correct yet
it contains within itself a fixed pur
pose to defeat the accomplishment
of these objects and to perpetuate a
protective system that caters to the
financial upbuilding and enriching
of the few and to the contiued im
poverishment of the many. Indeed
its most prominent features bear
record of the fact that its authors
designed it to be an ingenious cli
maxing of their efforts to defeat
tariff revision for the present. Driv
en to a confession in this measure
that there is an overburden of tax
ution imposed upon the people yet
the framers of this substitute studi
ously and strenuously endeavor to
avoid a weighting of this wrong.
But the people have been waked
up thoroughly on this question and
nothing short of a proper revision of
Mistaken Economy.
Speaking on the subject of econo¬
my the Christian index says:
“It is mistaken economy to buy
anything for less than its supposed
value. In such cases the price paid
is almost always more than the real
-.A nv attempt lo buy Q dol
ta/*s >?orth of anything for less than
a dollar, is almost sure to end in
loss. When professional service is
bought at half price, unwittingly) it is very apt
to he paid for (all at
double price. A sharper will settle
stantial in a village and undersell the sub¬
merchants until he drives
them from competition; then he be¬
comes master of the situation, and
reaps the harvest, while the people
whom he bleeds suffer justly for that
greed and disregard of principle
which prompted them to support a
man who gained his patronage by
unfair and dishonest means. Any
man who sells any kind of goods at
less than cost, except under unusual
and temporary conditions is neces¬
sarily dishonest, because he must
make up that loss in some sly way,
deceiving his customers. It is just
as wrong to buy goods below cost,
as it is to sell the:n in that way, for
the buyer sustains and encourages
the seller in his dishonest practice,
and thus becomes partaker of his
guilt. “What!” says one, “Is it
wrong for me to buy an article at
the price for which it is offered to
me? Yes, if by that purchase 3011
give countenance to an unfair or
dishonorable way* of doing business.
“When thou sawest a thief, then thou
consentedst with him.” Ps. 50:18.
lfyou would escape the classification,
avoid the company. Have nothing
to <jq with half price dealers or
workers. Pay and be paid ; live and
let live.”
Sow U'bcat.
The best information we can gather
from the most available and most re
liable sources warrant 11 s in advising
the farmers of 0.1 r county to sow as
1: 4r * e areas of their fanus.in wheat as
circumstances . will permit.
The recent heavy advance in flour
is not founded solely on speculation.
Wheat statistics show that this crop
I" 1 ' is over .> 0 , 000 , 000 , short of
year?"*"! on?™*! abroad Iu,t fhe.hSti^
S fj|] greater than in Anieri
ca, thus rendering certain, a strong
foreign making demand for our surplus and
it not only possible but prob
» ble for forei F n stringency to fix
Philadelphia Times that‘has saws;
“The real advance taken
place, therefore, in the price of bread
stuffs must be laid chiefly to the ae
°. ount of a short crop and an
demand abroad, this means that
the priees of breadstuffs must rule
higher from now until the gathering several
of the next harvest than for
years. Unwelcome as this outlook is,
if niust be faced, and the bread-con
sutning #and public will do well to face it
at one make its calculations ac
cordinfiflv.”
Therefore we advise our farmers to
wheat liberally and make flour
to meet the home demand. However,
oyving ts^ vhe large number of alliance
in our county it may be umiec,
and a good one.

Pine Straw Bagging.
The bagging trust was designed
to gouge the money from the pock
ets of the farmors and has stirred up
a considerable fervor among the
grow’ers of cotton in the south. But
time will soon develope the fact that
tliis trust was a blessing to the south,
It has already, and will continue to
produce good results. It is teach
ing us that we can manufacture from
material, heretofore considered val
ucless comparatively, wrapping for
our cotton equal if not superior,
to jute bagging, the raw material
for which wo have been compelled
to import,
The Acme mills,near YY’illiuington,
N. C. are now manufacturing from
pine straw bagging equal to the jute
bagging Mr. Anderson of
pulaski county, now connect
ed with the agricultural department
of Georgia, was in our offliee on Fri
day last and exhibited to us this
bagging, a sample of which lie left
with us, and which we regard as good
as the jute bagging for wrapping up
cotton. Indeed actual test proves
that this bagging is stronger than
jute. YY’ere it not for its color most
persons accustomed to seeing the jute,
would readily pronounce it the jute
bagging. Now the profit to the
south growing out of the bagging
trust will be, that in the future our
pine straw which is inexhaustible
will he converted into needed mate¬
rial,and the millions of dollars which

for bagging, will remain here and
help to enrich our own section.
After this season we expect to see
the south using bagging made from
her own materials and manufretur

born of an intention, upon the part

Penitentiary Convicts.
The forthcoming biennial report
of Principal Keeper Towers, of the
penitentiary, shoyvs that there are
now in the penitentiary 1,335 colored
and 149 white males and 52 colored
females; and by comparison yvitli
previous figures that the number of
colored female convicts is increasing.
At this increase of female convicts
we are not surprised when we look
around and see the vast number of
this class Who' are endeavoring to
get a living from the world without
working for it.
The negro women, to a very great
extent, seem to be cultivating an
aversion to out door work, notwith¬
standing there are not sufficient
avenues them to work elsewhere to supply
with employment. From this
fact idleness is increasing among
them, and whenever idleness in¬
creases among any people, crime
will increase.
When you bring your cotton to
market, and get the money for it,
don’t forget the small amount you
owe the advertiser.
The members of the Farmers’ Al¬
liance in some counties in Georgia
have pledged themselves each to
sow three acres in wheat. This is
a good step in the right direction,
but it would bo belter if they would
make the acreage in wheat double
that amount /'for each member,
liaise home soppliie on the farm and
pay as you go, is the true motto.
