SHORT HAND WRITERS.
The Objects of the Proposed State As
sociation.
The movement among short hand writers
to organize a State Association is generally
indorsed by the fraternity. In the past few
years short hand has tieen brought Into gen
eral use by all largo mercantile houses and
corporations, until It Is looked ujon as an
absolute necessity for the transaction of bus
iness. The number of short hand writers is
increasing at a rapid rate and like all other
professions, it contains good, bad and indif
ferent members who can be had at salaries
commensurate with their ability.
“There are,” said a short-bond writer of a
dozen years' experience, to a Mor.vi.no
News reporter last night, “many who enter
upon the study us a mere mechanical trade,
and who overlook entirely the intellectual
qualifications which are indispensable to a
due fulfillment of the multifarious functions
of a short hand writer. To iearn to write
phonetically eighty or ninety words a min
ute,” he added, “can be accomplished in a
few months, but that is simply a
beginning, and yet thore are many who ac
cept positions when thev have become thus
far advanced, and with but limited scho
lastic training. Even should they attain
the requisite speed for all practical purposes,
and not more than one in ten ever does,
their lack at knowledge of the rudiments of
the English language unfits them for the
practice of the profession. Unaware of the
extent of their own ignorance and totally
unconscious of their mistakes, they blunder
through their notes, producing a mass of un
connected and unintelligible sentences.
“The profession should lie elevated to where
it properly belongs, and to accomplish this
is one of the objects of the proposed organi
zation. An effort will be made to secure
the adoption of a rule requiring all appli
cants for membership to pass a rigid ex
amination in all that pertains to tho qualifi
cations of a good shorthand writer. This
will Im* a protection to those desiring steno
graphic help, mid a certificate of member
ship in this association will be sufficient
evidence that the holder is a competent
stenographer, and not a mere writer of ‘pot
hooks.’”
KNIGHTS OF LABOR LAW.
The Order’s New Constitution to Go
Into Effect This Week.
The now constitution of tho Knights of
Labor will go into effect to-morrow. Action
on the passage of tho new laws by the local
assemblies was taken by the general board
on July 3, and on Friday, as stated in the
Mornino News, the formal promulgation
of the constitution was made. The follow
ing circular has been received by the Savan
nah assemblies:
“To the Order, wherever found , Greeting:
By order of the General Executive Board
official notice is hereby given that the now
constitution of the order, together with the
regulations governing the formation of na
tional trade assemblies, having received the
requisite number of votes of the local as
semblies, as provided by the General Assem
bly, at Richmond, October, 183(1, is hereby
officially promulgated as the constitution of
the order, to take effect ori and utter Mon
day, July 11, 1887. As many and important
changes have been made, organizers and
officers, as well as members, are urged to
carefully study the new constitution and
faithfully observe its provisions. ”
SOUTH GEORGIA MELONS.
An Experimental Shipment by Ex
press to Boston.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
road sent fifteen carloads of melons from
Valdosta on Friday night to Boston by an
express train. This is the first shipment of
the kind to that city, and the experiment is
watched with considerable interest. Four
hundred and eighty carloads of melons have
been shipped to inaket this year from South
Georgia over the Savannah, Florida and
Western rood. When it is remembered that
these melons bring from SBO to $!<X) per car
at the stations from which they are shippod
it will be seen that melons bring quite a
handsome sum of money into South Geor
gia every year.

she has not heard from since 1577, when he
was employed in the Courier office in

the insane asylum, and she has been left
with a family of eleven children to support.
The counters of the several banks and
savings institutions have presented a lively
scene for several days past. Groups of
men and women might have been seen busi
ly engaged in collecting dividends and in
terest, and with cheerful and contented
faces stowing away the shining coin and
greenbacks in capacious pockets or satchels.
'The amount thus distributed hv the various
institutions is estimated at about $£“>0,000,
and the money market has in consequence
been decidedly easier.

the world would not exist without woman,

the world do without the salvation of
women, without a panacea for her physical

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1887.
KINGCOTTON PROSPERING
ONLY ENCOURAGING REPORTS
FROM THE PLANTERS.
Tho Depression of the Past Two Years
and Its Effect—A General Belief in
Higher Prices During the Coming
Year -An Extraordinarily Large De
mand for Money from the Planters—
An Early Gathering Looked For.
The cotton crop that is now growing will
probably excite more interest than any that
has been raised for several years past, for
the reason that cotton is almost as good as a
barometer of coniine, rial excitement or de
pression as iron. It is tho key of commer
cial prosperity in the South, and exerts
a much more potent influence in this section
than does iron, and the success or failure of
n crop is of a great deal more importance to
the South than the rise or fall of the iron
market is to the North. The last two years
have witnessed a period of depression.
Tho price of cotton declined and remained
at a figure that was generally conceded to
lie low, but the revival in trade has given
promise of a more successful season this
coming year, and consequently planters and
factors are watching the cotton crop to see
what its possibilities are. The reports that
have been received so far aro most encour
aging. It is true that the heaviest damage
to the crops comes in August, still the July
reports are such as to encourage the
factors into the belief that even after sus
taining the customary damage the crop will
be an unusually large one, and the return it
will bring will be eminently satisfactory.
Burin., Clay, Dodge, Dooly, Dougherty,
Houston,Jefferson, 1 .aureus, Mitchell. Pula
ski, Striven, Thomas, Twiggs, Washington,
Wilcox counties of Georgia, and Jeffersouand
.Madison counties in Florida, have all sent
in very full reports of the condition of the
crops, and on tue whole they are flattering.
The stands aro all good and give promise of
an abundant yield. The fields are clean and
are kept in good condition. The plants are
healthy and soera strong enough to with
stand Che evil influences to which they are
subjected.
A short while ago there were some com
plaints from up the river of a need of rain,
but, the plantations there have hat all they
needed. The rains have been general, ana
while some sections have had quite as much
as they need, there has not been too much
any whore. The rains have come opportunely
for there was danger of drought in some
l>arts of the country but that has passed
now, and unless there is an unprecedentedly
dry spell from now until harvest, there will
tie no trouble from want of water. The dry
weather that, preceded the rain has, howev
er, forced the plant to some extent and it
will result in the gathering of of more early
cotton than is usual.
On account of the dullness of tho past
two years, planters have borrowed more
money on their stands than usual. The fac
tors have advanced more than they are
accustomed to, but they are compensated
for that in the more hopeful outlook of the
crop. Some planters who borrowed nothing
last year have boon in for money this year,
and in a number of cases tho factors nave
had applications for loons from others than
their regular customers. In many instances
these applications have been refused because
of the condition of the money market.
The depression of silver in London and
the East India trade has caused a sympa
thetic depression in the trade of this coun
try and a consequent tightening of money.
This has resulted in higher rates of interest
and prevented tbe factors from doing what
they would liked to have done for tho plant
ers. They borrowed money from the banks
at 5 and 6 per cent, last year, but they can
not get it for less than 7 per cent, this sum
mer, and, therefore, they have been forced
to curtail their loans, to the inconvenience
of the planters. But still that is only a
temporary disadvantage, for in a short
while cotton will begin to move and the
stringency of tho market will be relaxed.
GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
Secretary Schwa n, of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad says respect
ing the declaration of a dividend on the
first preferred: “No meeting has yet been
called for that purpose, but It is not unlike

finished, but is so far completed as to not
interfere with the track laying that will lie
pushed forward. It is intended, if possible,
to have trains running through by Bept. 1.
There has been for some time past consid
erable dissatisfaction among the Central
railroad employee here on account of the
irregularity m pay day. They are not at
all concerned about not getting their pay,
but they want to know when they will get
it. They say that the pay rolls arc handed

their money. The shop and yard employes

is already commenced at Carrollton and the
whole line will bo completed at the earliest
possible day.

Nashville, Teak, July 9.—The game of

errors on both sides and was only interest
ing from the heavy hitting of both clubs
and the good fielding of Birmingham. It
was not au interesting game, though

made it up to a majority of the
crowd. After goose eggs on both sides both
clubs got on to the pitchers and had n regu
lar slugging mab h. The hits were about
even, but trie home team bunched theirs
better. Reeder was taken sick, but bravely

tism of ten .years’ standing. Abraham
Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
“Tlie best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 real's' experience is Elec
tric Bitters.” Thousands of others have
added their testimony, so that the verdict is
unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure ail
diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

MR. EDISON’S EXPERIMENTS.
A Device for Transmitting Messages
at Sea.
A Philadelphia dispatch to the New York
Times says: A smooth-faced, thick-set,
young looking man, attired in a gray suit
and accompanied by two handsome young
women, stepped briskly up to the desk at
the Continental Hotel office this afternoon
and registei-ed in a plain round back hand,
“Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N. J.” The
young women were his wife and sister-in
law. He appeared to be enjoying the best of
health, anu said the stories about his being
at the point of death while in Florida were
without foundation. He said he had coine
to Philadelphia to purchase electrical ap
paratus lor his new laboratory at Llewel
lyn, N. J. In speaking of the Florida trip,
lie said be was well pleased with the climate
and that he had el ected a permanent labo
ratory ou the banks of the Caloosahatchie
river, where he will continue his experi
ments every winter. One of his most inter
esting experiments was in submarine signal
ing, by which messages can he transmitted
from ship to ship by means of steam whistles
operated by keys in the same manner as
telegraphic instruments. All his experiments
so far have been confined to the waters of
the Caloosahatchie, where he has succeeded
in conveving intelligible messages a distance
of one mile.
The principle on which he will endeavor
to perfect his experiment is the remarkable
facility afforded by water for transmitting
sound. Divers in the ocean have heard tlie
swish of a steamer's wheels fifteen miles
away, and Mr. Edison thiuk:fhe can trans
mit his message from ship to ship a distance
of at least seven miles. What he purposes
doing after he has perfected his apparatus
is to have the large ocean steamers equipped
with the steam whistle* and transmitters.
Under the water line of each steamer will be
a sounder, connected with the captain’s
cabin by a thin transmitting wire running
through a tube. When the captain of one
vessel wants to signal another, he will sit
down to his keyboard, turn the steam on
Ills whistle, manipulate the keys, and send
the message out into the waves that break
against the sounder. This sound will
pass unbroken from wave to wave
with remarkable velocity, until it runs
up against the sounder of some
vessel or vessels which may happen to bo
within reach of the volume of sound. As
soom as the wave containing the sound
strikes the sounder on the hull of the vessel
or vessels within reach, the message will
run over the electrical wire to the Captain’s
cabin, where it will ring an electrical bell.
An attendant will then take down the mes
sage as it comes from the water, by moans
of telegraphic keys, as comfortably and
correctly as though he were sitting in one
of Jay Gould’s Western Union Telegraph
offices receiving news about one of Jay
Gould’s big deals.
After the message has l>een received the
Captain can swing his vessel around, and
continue the message through seven miles
of water in the same direction, until it
strikes another steamer, when the opera
tion may be repeated until the whole
breadth of the ocean lias been crossed. It
will also be useful as a means of signaling
by a vessel in distress.

$4,0K1 in the Georgia Railroad Bank and di

did the work. —Awjvsta (Ga.) Chronicle ,
