The Even-Song.
Now the west is rm, and now
Plaintive is the bird on boOgh i
Now the primrose shyly opes,
Watching for its sister stars.
And the flocks ad tvn the slope®
Loiter toward th" pasture liars.
Now that thickening shadows throng,
This shall Ik* our even-song.
Unto youth, with night above,
Welec tie are the wings of love;
Unto ago, wh*»n shades grow d<M»p,
Welcome are the wings of sleep.
Now the br< •ding ear receives
Little laughters from the leave
Row the hr like a breath
Over se from ior<‘ spi.-a,
And the heart within us saith,
“\V<* b nigh to paradise.”
Now that db rord w* re a wrong,
This shall fa our even-song:
Unt age, when shades grow deep,
Welcome are the wings of sleep;
Unto youth, with night anove,
We] ome are the wings of love.

A Romance Warmed Over.
“No youthful romance warmed over
for middle ago, I thank you,"said Mrs.
Nellie Hunt, with decision to her
niece, Edith Daly. They were gath¬
ering chrysanthemums at Mapleton,
Mrs. Hunt’s pleasant homestead, where
her niece from the west was visiting
her.
“Whv, auntie, I thought youthful
romances were tho best kind,” said
the young girl, shyly. (She had
one on hand herself.)
“Yes, dearie, so they arc at your
age,” lying a bright blossom against
the girl’s flushed face. “You remem¬
ber I said ‘warmed over.
“Well, auntie, I don’t any objec¬
tion to having it wanned over if it
were all it should have been at first,”
Editli urged. “I’m suro mamma
thinks as 1 do that Major Townley
is a fine man and would make you
a splendid husband. ”
“Yes, dear, that is undoubted—she
told me so herself. I think it is a
conspiracy among my friends,” said
tho elderly lady, playfully.
Edith buried her chin reflectively
in a yellow mass of bloom, while her
eyes looked over it into her aunt’s
still fresh and not uncomely face.
“1 don’t want to bo inquisitive,
auntie, but, oh, 1 would so like to
know what separated you long ago.”
said she suddenly.
Mrs. Hunt started a little, then
smiled.
“I’m afraid it would only spoil tho
romance for you,” she replied, “tho
circumstances wore so prosaic. Yet
it is the little things of lifo that go to
make up tho important whole. Maj¬
or Townley and I wore schoolmates
when wo were young, and I cannot re¬
member when wo were not attached to
each other. We graduated at tho
same time at the town academy, whore
we got a little tincture of latin. It is
said that ‘a little learning is a danger¬
ous thing.’ Certainly it was in our
ease. After mo left school wc kept
up our studios together. One even¬
ing we got into a discussion about a
certain lino of Virgil. We could not
agree about the translation, and we
were unwise enough to argno the mat¬
ter too long and too warmly. Neither
would admit of being in the wrong.
The result was that unkind words
were spoken, and our engagement was
broken off. You must remember that
wo were both young—I only eighteen
and he not yet twenty-one.”
“Which was in tho right?” asked
Edith.
“L don’t know, dear. I didn’t even
look the matter up. I think we were
both sorry, but we would not ac¬
knowledge it, so wo took separate roads,
and now we are both middle-aged and
prosaic, and I, at least, am a little
gray. As for the major, I have not
seen him for years.”
Mrs. Hunt had been a widow for
some years, and the gentleman in

THE MONROE ADVERTISER, FORSYTH, GA-, TUESDAY, AUGUST it, 189 I.--EIGHT RAGES.
tlon had lost his wife a couple of years
before, so thnt mutual friends, know¬
ing of their former romance,had been,
perhaps, a little to officious in their
i •fforts to effect a reconciliation. They
argued that time brings wisdom, and
it was presumable that in the light of
a score of years they had lamented the
impetuosity of youth which had barred
the way to satisfactory explanation.
Three months later, one dreary De¬
cember day, there was a storm very
nearly akin to a blizzard raging in the
Western States. The air was laden
with sleet that seemed armed with
needles, and earned by the gale with
a force and rapidity that threatened
to impede locomotion.
Travel was suspended and telegraph
wires were down.
On a snow-bound train in Indiana
we find our friend Mrs. Hunt, who
had been summoned by telegram to
the bedside of her sick sister, and had
run right into the teeth of the ap¬
proaching storm.
Six hours before the huge iron
horse had halted in sheer discourag
incnt, and the snowbanks seemed to
have been walls of adamant separating
the belated travelers from th ir
homos. Apprehension was followed
by anxiety us night settled down on
the weird, white scene.
A squad of laborers brought into
strong relief against the white back
ground by the headlight of the engine,
working vigorously in the biting
blast. The blockade had occurred
near a village, and through the storm
the glimmering of friendly lights told
of rural peace and plenty, cheeriiig if
unattainable.
But as tho hours wore away even
these disappeared and left the night a
prey to snow and cold and sleet and
howling winds. Within the car there
was a growing sense of cold physi¬
cally and foreboding thought men¬
tally.
Mrs. Hunt thought sadly of her
sister; perhaps slie would die, not
knowing how near her Nellio was, and
tears forced themselves through the
closed lids, A littlo child’s cough
sounded through the car. What a
place for a sick baby ! She promptly
tendered her assistance, and in help¬
ing another in trouble forgot her own
discomfort and anxieties.
Tho night wore away as nights will
however uncomfortable, and as Old
Sol condescended to favor the travel¬
ers with his smile, answering smiles
seemed less difficult.
It was a white, trackless world the
sun looked down upon—very cold and
forbidding in its beauty, and convey¬
ing to Mrs. Hunt that sense of breadth,
of wide, level distances, which always
strike a New Yorker with a sense of
Surprise when the prairies are seen for
the first time.
Soon there loomed into view an ox
team with a snow plow, in various di¬
rections spades were piled with vigor,
and anon thero arrived on the train an
aroma of hot coffee, very tempting to
benighted beings many miles from the
home dining room.
A man of about fifty years of age,
with dark hair and mustache, and a
singularly winning smile, was followed
by a stout mulatto boy, with huge pail
and loaded basket, dispensing coffee
and sandwiches. As they made the
tour of the train each car cheered the
caterers.
As the gentleman approached the
little woman in widow’s weeds he gave
a little start, which, however, was un¬
observed by her.
As she took tho proffered refresh¬
ment she said, impulsively:
“This restores my faith in Western
hospitality.”
“Had you lost it, maflam?” he
asked, and without passing for a re¬
ply passed ou.
It was Mrs. Hunt’s turn to start.
That voice ! Where had she heard it
before? Directly memory took her
b*ek to a score of rears. A Sow York
\iliagc came to mow, A cold -white
moonlit evening, and she looking
from the window of a rambling old
farmhouse, watching a tall, slender
young man as he hurried down the
country road. She watched him out
of sight thinking that he might oome
back; but he did not, and she never
spoke , to , him oga.n-for ..... he left the
village and went West—until now; he
had faded out of her sight in a bank
of snow-drifts lining the road ; he had
come back to her again out of the
wuiie drilts which had blocked her
way and brought him to her. She
called back from her reverie by the
1‘ow-spoken word, “Nellie!”
A . quick . . a ii<isli . suffused „ her face
fts
she said: “You know me, then?”
“When I first saw you,” he replied,
Taking a seat near her, a low con¬
versation ensued. The} talivcd and
laughed over the dear old days; with
saddened voices they spoke of griefs
which had come to each of them in
the long years of separation ; a soft¬
ened light came into their faces and
the misunderstanding of the past
faded out naturally, without need of
explanation.
Toward night, just before the train
reinforced by another engine, pulled
out, he held out his hand at parting,
saying with a smile :
“But that line in Virgil—who was
right, Nellie?”
She laughed, and then sighed a lit¬
tle, saying:
“Wo were both wrong.”
“But we are both right now, are we
not?” he asked.
For answer she put her hand in his.
A Russian Factory.
In speaking of Russian industry,
the name of Morozof comes first to
mind. The Morozofs have done most
for the cotton industry in Russia, and
it is due to them that this industry
has produced goods which rival those
made in other countries. One of the
most celebrated Russian manufactor¬
ies, that of Bogorodsko-Gloukhof,
belongs to one of the members of this
family, Arsene Morozof. This lias
made immense progress under his in¬
telligent direction. In the period of
twenty-five years the business has in¬
creased from 900,000 to 13,000,000
rubles. [Value of a ruble is $0.75.]
There are now 8,500 workmen em¬
ployed, of whom only two thousand
lodge outside of the faotory. All the
workmen aud foremen are Russians;
the spinning only is directed by an
Englishman. The works use annually
5,GOO tons of cotton, of which 1,280
tons are bought in Central Asia; the
rest comes from America and Egypt.
The Asiatic cotton of Bokhara is used
only for stuffs of inferior quality; the
Asiatic cotton produced from Ameri¬
can seed is superior to it. But the
best kinds of cotton are those from
America and Egypt.—Revue Fran
caise.
Florida’s Palmetto Lands.
There are millions of acres of land
in Florida covered with the palmetto
plant, which, before the land can be
cultivated, must be grubbed out and
burned at a considerable outlay of
labor. If the roots of these plants
could be ground into pulp and manu¬
factured into buckets and other ves¬
sels for domestic purposes, the clear¬
ing of new land in the south would be
favorably offset by the market value
of the roots. If, in addition to this,
the tannic acid should be extracted
from the pulp and utilized in the tan¬
ning process as recent experiments
have demonstrated can be done, pal¬
metto land would soon take on a new
value. —Florida Citizen.

GEORGIA FARMERS.
MEETING OF THE STATE AGRI¬
CULTURAL SOCIETY.
Presu,cnt Waddell’s Stirring Ad
dress-Gov. Northen Speaks.
-
The semi-annnal convention of the
^ in eor the fG court-house a State Agricultural Society met
at Carrollton W ed
nee day morning. On account of free
passes by the railroads an unusually
large number of delegates was present.
The convention was opened with prayer
by Rev. W. A. Williams of Carroll
ton.
Mayor G. H. West, in a very ap
propriate address, ■welcomed ilie dole
gates to the best of everything the
place afforded. Hon. W. F. Brown,
on the part of the Carroll County Ag
ricultnral Club, also welcomed the
delegates to Carrollton. Hon. J. S.
Cobb also welcomed the convention in
behalf of the people of Carroll in an
eloquent speech, in which there were
many humorous references.
Dr. E. D. Newton, of Athens, was
called upon to respond to these wel¬
come words on the part of the society,
aud he made a very appropriate speech.
1 he roll of delegates was called, and
then President Waddell delivered his
semi-annual address.
the president’s address.
President Waddell congratulated the
members that through the liberality of
the railroads a full delegation was
present. The roads had been actuated
by a desire to perpetuate and encour
age an association which lias for nearly
half a century been an active
modest factor in the development of
the state.
“The managers of the railroads,”
said he, “considered your conservatism
and your sense of justice on all ques¬
tions involving the rights and prop¬
erty of others whether private or cor¬
porate.
“They know your record of oppos¬
ing unjust legislation which would
throttle or cripple legitimate enter
prise. Your past history gives assur
ance of your respect for and obedience
to law, and that anarchy and violence
and lawlessness will never find adher
ents among the farmers of Georgia,
These reasons have actuated the man
agers of our railroads, and in my place
I make public sincere acknowledge
ments for the courtesy.”
“My observations in the past few
years,” said he, “forces on me the
conviction that we will never achieve
success or independence as farmers
except have by our own personal effort.
We hoped against hope for united
and concerted action amoDg ourselves
and have waited too long for congress
to give legislative relief. Our reforms
and progress must come through the
example of individual effort, One
progressive, public spirited citizen of
Carrollton is worth more to it than
volumes of city ordinances. So also
is the example of a few intelligent and
energetic farmers of incalculable worth
to the cause of agriculture.
“Without reflecting on the opinions
of others, wo yet venture to say that
too much has been said and w'ritton
about ‘hardtimes,’ ‘distress,’ ‘poverty,’
‘signs of evil.’ Our people are rapid¬
ly getting into a morbidly morose con¬
dition from which I should rejoice to
see them aroused and reassured. All
tho great questions now agitating and
dividing our people and which engen¬
der strife and discord—questions of
taxes, tariff and money which have
been discussed since the foundation
of the government and apparently
they are no nearer solution than
when they were wrestled with by
Jefferson and Hamilton, by Clay, Cal¬
houn and Webster and by Stephens,
Hill and Toombs, giants in intellect
aud matchless in patriotic devotion to
the principles of our government. The
solution of these questions requi res
the exercise of wisdom, of experience,
of honesty and of patriotism. Into
the hands of our national legislator
have we committed our interests, hop¬
ing for a just settlement of the issues
involved and nothing is left us but to
hold them responsible for their stew¬
ardship. ”
He advised the farmers to direct
their energies to more useful, profit¬
able and practical questions which
benefit them and add to the glory and
prosperity of Georgia.
“The fearful scenes of violence,”
continued he, “recently enacted in the
west, fearful in the interruption to the
business and commerco of the country
and more fearful m the destruction of
life and property should carry with
their horrors a lesson and a warning
to every farmer in this state. A con
tinnance of those disturbances for one
month longer would have caused a
bread and meat famine in Georgia, a
state which can be and which should
be an empire within itself. In such a
state, with such a climate, such soil,
such seasons, such susceptibility to
the production of all the varied
products which sustain life and
give comfort and enjoyment to man,
such a condition is little less than
criminal. We cannot escape respon¬
sibility in permitting the importation
into this state of those productions
which can be easily and profitably
raised in Georgia.”
President YYaddell referred to the
want of success among the farmers and
attributed it largely to the practice of
giving over to negro tenants the entire
charge of lands. He advocated small
farms to be run by the owners and
urged that the Georgia of today was
greater than the Georgia of olden
times of which we hear so much.
President M addell called forth more
than ordinary attention when he said:
“For many years our society has
had no recognition from the state of
Georgia. In i8o9 the legislature en
acted a law giving to it $2, oOO a year
to assist us m our state fairs and in
illustrating our agricultural, mechani- That
cal and industrial resources.
law remains on the statute books, but
it is a dead letter because we are told,
that under the constitution of 1877 no
provision is made for such appropria
tion. When we seek to remedy this
wrong we are told that the state is
doing a vast amount of good to
the farmers in the support of the
agricultural department and in the
establishment of the experiment sta
tion. It is susceptible of proof that
these do aot cost the state one dollar.
The iospection few .hick ate paid
the farmers are. sufficient to meet the
expenses of both the department aud
the station and pays into the treasury
of the state a snug surplus, which is
placed to the credit of the common
school fund. Besides the experiment
station was established with funds do
na ted in greater part by the govern
ment. I positively assert that tho
railroads have done infinitely more for
this society and tho eouse of ngricul
ture than have the legislatures
during the past fifteen years.
From the state, during that
time, we have not received one dollar,
The railroads, on the contrary, have
made large contributions in monev,
they have transported county exhibits
to and from state fairs free. To the
fairs they have given the lowest possi
ble rates, and to this society, with but
one exception in over twenty years,
they have given free transportation
both ways to the delegates to our agri
cultural conventions. They have done
more to sustain the society, to perpet¬
uate it, than all other agencies com¬
bined. The facts sustain those asser¬
tions, and it is but an act of simple
justice to make them.
In closing, Colonel Waddell paid a
handsome tribute to Hon. O. A. Barry,
the general vice-president, who lmd re¬
signed to go to Texas.
TOVEKNOR northern's SPEECH.
At the conclusion of the president s
address, Governor Northen was invit¬
ed by special motion to address the
convention. He said that he felt hon¬
ored in speaking to a society that has
honored him so highly in the past, he
and he could say this honestly as
was not nor would be ever again so
long ns lie lived a candidate for pub
lie office.
He referred to the great influence
wielded by the society, and gave tho
members much encouragement for the
future.
He argued the importance of edu
eating the. children in the rural dis
iricts of Georgia, who, taken as a
whole, were not being educated. He
referred to his home iu Hancock, near
which there was no white school, but
several admirable schools for the ne
groes. He said it was time to begin
developing the brain of Georgia and
he called forth applause, when he said
he was unalterably opposed to plant
ing any dynamite in Georgia, to
bringing any man here who does not
understand our system of government
and is opposed to it.
He said further, that he was opposed
to people who would formulate strife,
or who advocated strikes. The great
question before Georgia today, ho de¬
dared, is what to do to benefit tho
country districts that they may sus
tain not only themselves but the other
general interests of the state,
He referred to the people going to
Texas, and said that they were going
thero because they could get better
education than in Georgia. He en
dorsed every sentiment expressed in
President Waddell’s address.
WASHINGTON NOTES
NEWS CONCERNING THE VARI¬
OUS DEPARTMENTS.
Sayings and Doings of tho President
and Members of the Cabinet.
The senato has passed tho bill to
further encourage the holding of a
world’s exposition at Atlanta, Ga., in
1895, admitting free of duties articles
from foreign countries for exhibition
purposes and providing for medals.
In its brief executive session Thurs¬
day the senate confirmed the follow¬
ing: Amos M. Thayer, of Missouri,
to be United States circuit court judge
for the eighth judicial district, as pro¬
vided for by the act approved July 22,
1894; Henry S. Priest, of Missouri, to
bo United States district judge for the
eastern district of Missouri.
The house democratic caucus of
Tuesday afternoon adjourned after de¬
ciding that the house conferees on the
tariff bill should not be embarrassed
by instructions of any character from
their democratic associates. This ac¬
tion was disappointing to the pro¬
moters of the caucus. Mr. Holman
presided. The roll call disclosed the
presence of 168 members, an unusual¬
ly large number.
The “tomorrow” upon which the
tariff conferees have been for some
weeks promising an agreement at last
gives promise of fulfillment. When
the tariff conferees adjourned at a few
minutes before 6 o’clock Wednesday
it was with the understanding that at
the session Thursday morning all the
details should be arranged and the re¬
publicans called in the afternoon and
informed of what their democratic
colleagues had done.
The democratic tariff conference had
expected to be able to announce an
agreement Thursday. Instead of reach¬
ing any definite conclusion, the day
closed with the bill in quite as uncer¬
tain a stage as ever before in its his¬
tory, with the situation in no wise im¬
proved, and with the feeling bet ween
the friends of the senate bill and the
house bill intensified instead o’f allayed,
and with no one prepared to say what
the outcome would be, or when the end
would be reached.

When the uniformed rank, Knights

part of this month, Georgia will bo
represented by a full regiment of near¬
ly five hundred knights.
L. P. Master’s family and tho Fa
cottis, of Savannah, have just learned
that they are heirs to a large fortune
in Gordinas, Cuba, left by two great
uncles named Angrew. The property
lias for some years been in the hands
of the Spanish government and the
heirs have employed attorneys at
Washington to look into tho matter
through the state department.
The Athens Banner has been sold at
public outcry to Messrs. J. C. C. Mc¬
Mahan, of Athens; James Smith, of
Sinithonia, and Hamilton McWhorter,
of Lexington. The sale was made by
ihe sheriff in order to perfect the title
and only brought $1,900 at public out
cry. but the real price paid in private
sale was $1,800, which satisfies the first
two mortgages held by Messrs. George
Dudley and Ellison Stone. The three
purchasers were the largest stockhold
era in the old company. They will
hold tho paper until they can sell or
lease it. Mr. Joe Stone, who has
Dooii the lessee of the paper for tho

Beed will bo retained as managing
editor until the purchasers permanent¬
ly dispose of tho paper.
Tho early charters of steamers at
Savannah for tho coming season open¬
ing in September and October, espec¬
ially the shipments of cotton, would
indicate a cheap rate of freight for
early shipments. Just what effect,
however, tho present eastern embrog
lio will have on the freight market for
the rail and water business has not yet
made itself apparent. It is more than
likely that there will bo a largo
amount of tonnage required to carry
war supplies to the east, and in conse¬
quence of this anticipation rates for
steam vessels are more than apt to
firm up some, aud higher rates for De¬
cember and November shipments will
be the rule. Exports of cotton will
also be very late tho coming season,
owing to the backwardness of tho
crop, which lias been retarded by
rains aud cool nights. Last season
the first bales had already come to
hand in July, but thus far thero aro
not even any advices oi new bales for
the Savannah market.
State Dairymen’s Association.
The dairymen of Georgia and others
interested in dairying and stockrais

rates will be accorded, provided as
many as 100 shall attend, paying full
fare going. When buying a ticket at
tho starting point, ask the ticket agent
for a receipted certificate. This will
afford a good opportunity for any one
to visit tho experiment station and

turn to the school room, for he has
stated that he would rather teach than
to do anything else, but this idea has
been dissipated by his declining the
presidency of a college in a neighbor¬
ing state. It is understood that he
was offered a salary of $2,500 to act as
president of this college which has 500
pupils. The duties were very light and
he could have had ample time for other
work.
The governor when asked about the
report admitted that it was true, but
refused to give the name of the col

The governor s reputation is by no
means bounded by state hues. The
great burden upon the governor’s mind
at this time is how to attract desirable
immigrants to Georgia. Everything
has had a tendency to force him into
this work, and when asked if he would
devote his future to it, he replied that
the time was not yet ripe to talk
about it.
Northeast Georgia.
The series of letters concerning
northeast Georgia, have been appear¬
ing in the Atlanta Constitution and
have been read with much interest.
The purpose was to show what an em¬
pire of territory lies between the Ma¬
rietta and North Georgia and the
Richmond and Danville railroads.
Within this area there are mining and
agricultural possibilities practically
unlimited. YVhat is needed to develop
them is more railroads and good coun¬
try roads. First-class roads crossing
that entire section, leading out
to Dalton, Cartersville. Marietta, At¬
lanta, Canton and Gainesville, and
touching the various county sites by
the way, would be one of the best in¬
vestments the state could make.
The people of northeast Georgia are
shrewd, intelligent and active. It
given but half a chance they would
convert that entire section into a gar¬
den. With good country roads, so
that farmers could reach a market, the
reign of the moonshiner would be
gone. The people are not naturally
disposed to violate the revenue laws,
but the utter impossibility of market¬
ing their crops forces them to do
something. They have debts to pay
and taxes to meet, for which money is
needed, and the money they must
have, though the resort is dangerous.
It is unfortunate that the era of
state aid to railroads should have been
brought to a close before this fertile
aud productive section could have
ren ped equal benefits with other sec
tions. Alrnost by an accident tho Ma
rietta and North Georgia was slipped
in, otherwise the undeveloped terri¬
tory would have been much larger.
But northeast Georgia’s day is com¬
ing. It cannot be much longer de¬
layed. The country is too rich and
the people are too energetic to be left
behind much longer.
To Restrict tho Sale of Poisons.
Again the restriction of the sale of
poisons and narcotic drugs is being
prominently brought before the public.
Messrs. Austin & Bark, attorneys, of
Atlanta, representing the state board
of pharmacy, have sent tho following
cireu'ar to a good many grocery stoics
in the state, notifying them that they
will be prosecuted if cases of violating
the law can bo made out against them.
The following is the circular:
“To regulate the sale of poisons in
this state.
‘Sc ction 1. 11 be unlawful for
any person to furnish by retail any
poisons enumerated in schedules A
and l>, as follows:

It is a misdemeanor to violate tho
above law and is punishable by a lino
not exceeding $1,000. The above ex¬
tract of tho law shows the medicines
that can only be sold by a registered
druggist or pharmacist. The recent
suicides throughout tho state have
brought about this action.
