" .
*
Go to work young man and lay
up some money for your old age- -
for the time w hen Uio grass hopper
will become a burden and the cook
wdl quit before breakfast, and you
will think your shadow is a dog.
“What about the girls,’ says a
friend. Let the girls quit their
foolish ness,as Sam Joncssays. If they
can’t make money, let them quit
spending it. 1 know young ladies
in (Ins town whoso fathers nro on a
strain, and yet they won’t make
their own dresses. 'I hey have them
made by the milliner. They prance
all over the town, and gad about and
read novels, and don’t do a blessed
thing to help their father maintain
the family. A girl whose father is
on a itrain ought to make her own
clothes and some more besides. if
she doesn’t know how, she should
learn. Kvcry member of the family
should at least earn their salt and
pepper and pickels and chewing
gum. A girl of eighteen who can’t
make her own clothes is not fit to be
a wife, much less a mother. Rich
or poor, they ought to do something
useful. Get up early and fly round
and sweep and dust and look after
the dining room and the lamps,
After break last go to that sewing
machine and make it hum andjurie
like your grandmothers did the
spinning wheel. In tlio afternoon
put on your nice homemade dress
and go to see somebody you want to
see, somebody who wants to see
you, and talk sense when you get
there. Oh, for more model boys
and model girls to raise (lie next
crop from. Noting man, don't you
marry a young girl who is too proud
or too lazy to make her own clothes,
Young lady, don’t you marry a man
who drinks or who spends all that
bo makes. They nro afraid of what
the girls will any. They hud rather
loaf around among their kin or pro
tend to be reading law than to go tn
work-—work is not exactly respect a
Me. This false pride is a contempti
bio weakness and disgusts mo so I
teei like taking my coat, driving and
to tote mortar or dig ditches for the
gaa pipe just as an example. 1
counted twenty six-negroes all in a
row digging those ditches and not a
white man among them. A work
ing boy wont have to do that kind
of work long. He is watched and
talked about and very soon some
body wants him and he gets a better
placo. Ilo crawls up. It is an old
say.ng that .1 a young man saves
hi* hrst ten dollars lie will get nch
—that is so in nine cases out of ten
■—ye* if lie will save hi.* first hun¬
dred, lie will succeed, and any young
man can save that much in a y ear il
lie will let w hisky and tobacco and
the society girls alone—society will
keep a poor young particular man poor.
Capital i* very now n
days. When capital wants a young
man it looks round for one who
doesn't drink or smoke or gamble—
one who save* his money and
doesn’t run about every night.
Family influence isn’t worth a cent
now. A young man stands on liis
merits, his habits, his associations.

in the midst of influence*
combine to retard the progress of the
agricultural interests of the state, the
question of labor stands prominently
forth, says tl.e Herald Journal.
In his recent address Col. North
cm referred to thin question, treat
ing it on Hie ground of tenantry,
But say what wo will, the hired la
j bor of this country in becoming
more unreliable and more difficult
to utilize every year. At present a
farmer who begins the year’s work
with hands sufficient to handle, lus
plantation, has no assurance that he
will, in six months, have force enough
to work even one half of the land
put m cultivation. This is due to
tho fact that law does not successful
ly reach the laborer; or punish him
tract. propel ly for the violation of tho con- j
The bill in question provides nm -
ply for this matter. If a laborer ]
leave* an employer without good ;
and sufficient cause, he is amenable
to prosecution and the wages he may
earn with his new employer is like
wise subject to any amount which ]
ho may have overdrawn under bis
original contract. Tho last employ
er is likewise made a party to the
suit in tho event that he retains the
bolting employe after he has been
properly notified by the first om
plover.
This matter is something which
domamls attention. There is no
calculating the amount which is lost
every year on the farms of Georgia
through the abandonment of the
crops by contract hands at a time
when thcii* labor is of greatest mo
inont. And it is generally at the
season when every moment is
precious and when one day’s work
is worth a dozen ordinary ones, that
those laborers bolt theircontractsand
scekemploymontelsewhero. For that
reason it is impossible to estimate
the damage in dollars and cents.
There is another point. This
abondonment and violation of their
agreement , tend to demoralize the
labor which remains. The other
contract bands, while they may not
quit outright, wiil slight their work,
and take ad vantago of their employ
ers in every possible mannner.
Every interest demands an im
provement of the labor system and
our legislators should put themselves
to the work of remedying it. Tho
bill referred to has been favorably
commented on, and it is to be hoped
it will become a law.

The Hon. Edward Atkinson, of
Boston, presents in a recent issue of
the Manufacturers' Record a very
interesting leter upon the saving*
banks of Massachusetts and their re
lation to the prosperity of the people.
The fact which he gives show the
value of saving banks so forcibly that
it would hardly seem neeessary to
seek to impress upon southern people
the great good that would come to
their section through the establish
merit of more savings institutions.

development of iron making in this
section, said that the south is to be
tlio future comer ot the iron an.l
steel trade ot the world.
For several years there has been
a show of competition in northern
markets between the output of
southern furnaces, and that of
northern furnaces. The southern
ore has found a market of its own
and has managed to hold it in the
face of Much draw backs as naturally
grow out of a new situation that
amounts to an experiment. The
com petition of southern iron has not
as yet had any serious effect on
northern furnaces, but the fact has
been demonstrated that iron smell
ed tn Alabama can compete with the
Pennsylvania product in its own
markets.
A correspondent of the Manufao
Hirer’s Record, who is described as a
gentlemen who for twenty or thirty
years has been closely identified
the industrial interests of the
south, and who is intimately ac
quamted with the workings of most
of the leading iron companies of
this section, gives some very impor
t.ant information. He says that a
large number of new furnaces will
shortly be built in Alabama and the
south,, no intimation of which has
heretofore been given to the public,
But by far the most significant
statement made by tne correspon
dent is to the effect that the money
which will be put in these new
plants has been made out ot those
that have been running, a fact that
will cause the northern iron produc
ers to open their eyes.
Tho correspondent says that the
southern furnaces have made more
money during the past year than
they are willing the outside world
should know. lie declares that
there is many a stack now running
in the south that is making iron at
§8.50 a ton, and he knows of none
making iron that cost over §11.
In regard to the failure of some
southern furnaces, a fact that has
been used to discourage the invest
ment of capital in that direction, the
Record writer says that every fail
tire thus far can be traced to two
causes: One is an entiio insuffi
eicney of working capital, and the
other is ruinously bad management,
Either one of these causes would be
sufficient to produce failure, but both
combined insure it.
It need not be supposed that the
facts which the Record’s correspon
dent sets forth are hidden from the
keen eyes of investigators either at
the south or the north. There is
not a day in the week that parties
capitalist from the north are not
surveying and investigating the sit
nation oHIus section.

admits that the methods are
wrong; even further, that the farmers
know they are wrong. But. bound
hand and foot to the merchants, thev
can not change. Clearly a man who
has no money cannot instantly
adopt a cash system of buying. The
man who has no basis of credit
cotton, must clearly agree to plant
cotton when he asks for credit, and
to plant it and fertilise it pretty
much as the money-lender
scribes. Colonel Northen is right in
saying that, though the farmer is
wrong, and knows he is wrong, he
cannot right himself Oy simply " de
termining to do so.
“But can’t he make a start to
wards righting himself? Though he
is obiighed to buy something on
credit, can’t ho lessen his credit
purchases? Though the merchant
demands that he shall plant cotton
and buy fertilizers, can’t he reduce
the cotton acreage so that he can get
a few acres in something else, and
let his fertilizer bill decrease as his
compost heaps increases? There
are many reforms that do not de
pend on cash. To give closer per
sonal supervision to the farm; to
utilize and-widen the petty things
about the place; to practice econo

these are things the farmers’ can a nd

A Startling Opinion.
n«t censu,
wiil show a surprising increase in
the number of deaf mutes. The in
termunduaro of dent mute, in this
country began about 1820, and since
that time their increase has been
much more rapid than the increase
of the country’s population. From
1S30 to 1880‘they increased about
400 per cent., while the population
‘
increased only about 100 per cent.
In 1850 the population was 23,000,
000 and the number of deaf mutes
was 9.803. In 1880 the population
was 50,000,000, and the number of
deaf mutes was 33,878. From these
figures it appears that while the pop
illation was a little more than douht
ed in thirty rears the deaf mutes
were more than trebled. The in
crease of deaf mutes was more than
double that of the population.
Prof. Graham Belle has given a
great deal of attention to deaf mutes.
and said he is satisfied that if they
continue to intermarry they will be
a very considerable‘'percentage of
the population in tho course of a
comparatively few years. He be
lieves, from what be lias observed
and the information he has been
able to obtain, that in at least 90
per cent, ot the deaf mute man iages,
both the contracting parties are deaf
mutes. The reason of this is that
there is more sympathy between
deaf mutes than between a deaf
mute and a hearing person.
Some scientists, who are experts
on heredity, have expressed the
rather startling opinion that if the
practice of deaf mutes marrying
deaf mutes is continued, the result
will be “the promotion of a deaf va
ricty of the human race in America,
in which all or most of the children
will be born deaf.” This would be
a very undesirable condition of
affairs.

nenee in the world, but their coun¬
try cousins outnumber them by* long
odds. The trouble with the former
is that they* flash through youth to
manhood with the bright abandon
which deceives them with the thought
that they can be what they* will
when they want to. In other words
when the time comes to build they
find, having skimmed over tlio sur¬
face too lightly, they have no solid
foundation whereon to begin.

A Correspondent to the Southern
Cultivator, writing under the above
heading, gives some good sugges¬
tions. He advocates the cultivation
of smaller areas to produce larger
harvests. To accomplish this results
he gives the following advice.
1st. Begin by* laying off ono-half
of the land you have usually culti¬
vated ahd secure it from stock by
a good fence. When this is d me
realizo that your great object is lo
make that half of your farm pro
duce more the first year than the
whole did the last vear.
2d. Gather together in one com
mon mass everything which may
help lo form a valuable compost,
lo prevent waste place your mate
rial fo, the compost heap in a ditch
doe tor tl.e purpose and into it damp
all the scrap,n K s Iron, your wood
yard stable, cow and sheep lot. uml
m ’" b f fact, u l c “ every K fP l othei 'V. s “P “? ayailuule UI >’ onr
ditch ts nearly filled, when you
should prepare a similar receptable
for the future accumulations. The
compost mass should be kept suf
ficiently moist to promote fermenta
timi; cover it so as to protect it from
the sun and also secure it from the
rains.
3d. If you raise cotton to any
extent, see to it that all the seed,
except those required for the next
planting are returned to the
soil by'vff'.vieU ovcrtlU they wore pf.lM produced. hind
4th. Turn
the fall which you intend to
the following year, being careful to
coverall the vegetable accumulations
that are on the suafaco.
5th. Apply your compost and
fertilizers early in the year so that
when the time for planting comes
you may put in your seed with the
assurance that your land is possessed
°f more than double the producing
power of the last year, and you will
be Hkoly to realize a greater harvest
land, half tho labor
and half the expense involved in the
P^Mc-tion of last years crop.

Ex 'Mayor IIf.wuy, peaking in a
southern city* tin itivr day of his
southern trip said i was last hero
in 18G0. The change since then is
simply marvellous, and although I
had kept posted through tho news¬
papers, I am free to say* that person¬
al observation brings many surpris
es. I nave heard much of the
wonderful resources of Alabama
and Georgia, of tlio push and
energy* of .your people, of tho south
as being favorable for financial in¬
vestments and of the wonderful
development of your section in every
way. I can now say that tlio true
slate of affairs has not been exag¬
gerated. What wo have seen in our
short trip cannot, I am sure, be seen
in any other quarter of the globe.

Poisoaed by a Calf.
My* little boy* broke out with ul¬
cers and sores, the result of tho sali¬
va from a calf’s mouth coming in
contact with a cut finger. The ul¬
cers were deep and very* painful,
and showed no inclination to heal.
1 used quite a number of remedies,
with no benefit, but got Swift’s Spe¬
cific, and he improved with tho
first few doses and in a short time
was sound and well of tho poison,
and his general health much im¬
proved. John T. Heard.

ly, and no sign of the dreadful dis¬
ease has returned.
