cellent wires autl devoted mothers,
bul what will happen ton majori
ty? What wouhl happen to all
or any of them, supposing the
bread winner ol the family should
suddenly be taken away from
them? It is too much the fash
ion, nowadays, for fathers autl
mothers of all classes to live up
to, and even heyobd, their income.
There seems to be an over power
ing tiesire, among persons in every
rank, ta appear in the eyes of
their neighbors at least three
times richer and grander than
they really are. Not many pro
fessional inen pause to think
what will become of the girls if
they do not marry. That “if is
nowadays a very big oue, whereof
■lie gills themselves are apt
-carcely to know the magnitude.
Match making mothers and
anxious chaperones meanwhile
moan and groan sadly upon the
subject of modern young men and
tlicir disgraceful selfishness in
choosing so often a bachelor's
life. “There are no marking
men now a days,” they say; “all it
was very different in our young
lays!” The truth of the matter
is that modern young men cannot
afford to marry, aad in a great
measure this is the fault of mod-
era young women. Girls are
brought up uselessly, taught a
few accomplishments, and encour
aged in extravagant notions in
the way of dress ami house-keep
ing, that render them absolutely
uutil for the serious business of
life.
The reform which ought unde
niably to be carried out through
the length and breadth cf every
country, would necessitate the
training of every girl child, no
matter what her position in life,
in some profession, employment,
or even trade, which should make
her thoroughly independent of
any of the mischances of fortune,
and perfectly able to support her
self, should she chance not to
marry. Parents never attempt
to bring up their sons wilhont
some definite object in life. W T hy
should they treat their daughters
on a totally different plan? “Ob.
the girls are sure to marry f’ is
the inevitable answer, “and even i
if they remain single, we shall
leave them enough to live upon.”

They Must Hang.
The decision of the supreme
court yesterday in the anarchist
ca«es, shuts out the last ray of
light for the condemned men, for
there is not the slightest hope for
executive clemency.
This decision will be greeted
with pleasure by the people of the
whole country, and when the hor
rible crime for which the seven
men are condemned has been ex
piated on the scaffold, the people
will breathe easier through knowl
edge of the fact that they have
evidence that sneb vicious and
murderous doctrine will not he
tolerated in this country.
Grave doubt has been express
cd, since the terrible Haymarket
riot in Chicago, if the instigators
and murderers in the tragic event
wouhl be punished as their of
fense merited. When the cases
of the seven conspirators and in
cendiaries went before the courts,
many doubted a conviction anil
more feared that the strong local
influence exerted in their behalf
by their sympathisers would pre
vent the infliction of just punish
ment.
The doctrine which brought
about the Haymarket riot was
one which bad its fanatical advo
cates in every large center of pop
ulation in the country, and for
this reason the eyes of every slate
were turned to Chicago to see
what her courts would do in deal
ing with the dangerous spirit,
which, founded on robbery and
rich in murder, was spreading its
infesluous germs broadcast, and
in Chicago particularly, had be
gun to reap its harvest of crime.
The conviction of the men re
oeivetl the heartiest indorsement
of the whole press and public.
It is horrible, of course, to see
seven men swing into eternity in
a moment, for any cause, but
there are occasions which justify
it, and if there ever was such sn
occasion that of the doomed an
archists is one. Such a doctrine
as their's begets the worst crimes,
and such crimes mnst bi met
with the severest punishment.
But these men will go to the
scaffold with their murderous the
ory closest their hearts, and their
‘ast words will be lor their follow-
anarcliv. Consequently the pub
lic has no sympathy for them.
The hanging of these men will
be a crowning triumph in the in
flexible administration of justice
in the courts of this country, ami
will lie a standing moral to those
men whose vicious doctrines are
aimed at the pesce and prosperi
ty guaranteed by our institutions.

A Level-headed Wife.
The Governor of Arkansaw had
just turned from a petition bear
ing 664 names, when a tail, angu
lar woman, carrying a gingham
siin-konuel by the strings, enter
e<l the room and, dropping on a
settee, said:
‘I want to sec the Guv’ner.’
‘I aui the Governor, madam.’
‘Shore?’
•Yes, I am quite sure.’
“Well, I come to ask you why
you didn't answer my letter. I
live out in the hills. Moved there
lately from Imlyaay. Sent you a
letter by a feller named Steve
Spencer. Why didn’t you answer
it? 1
•Your name, please? 1
‘Jane Brumfield. From as good
a family as ever lived in the State.
Father was a McIntosh and moth
er was a Harkrider.’
‘I did not receive yonr letter.
Mrs. Bromfield.’
‘Look here, do you reckon that
feller got drunk an' lost that
dockyment?’
*1 don’t know anything about
his habits.’
‘But don’t it stand to reason
that he got drunk?’
‘Well, its far from impossible.’
‘I'll tell you what the letter
was. Shortly after I got here,
Tube, my husband was sent to the
penitentiary. He wasn't a citi
zen of the State at the time, and
didn’t think bis sentence would
hold him.”
‘Then you don't want him par
doned ?’
‘Not much. I’rc done so much
belter sense lie's been in there
that I never do want to set eyes
on him again. It may sound a
little strange, but it is a fact,
that as soon as they took him
away the hens that had been
mopin’ round on a sort of strike
all spring, put to layin’, and I
wish 1 may die if Didn't think they
would lay themselves to death.
One bigold dominieker—the fin
est hen on the place, but mighty
sulky and hard to please at times
— hadn't laid a single egg for two
months, but when she found that
they had took Tube oil' she set in
to layin’ an - I never seen nothin’s
to ekel her. She'd walk around
the yard and sing awhile, an'
then she'd go in and lay. Tobe
was sent for a year. Couldn’t
you, to oblige a poor woman,
make it two. Governor?’
‘Oh, no; I have no authority to
extend the time.’
‘I didn't know bul to oblige a
po' woman you mouL’
‘Jio, I cannot.’
‘Well, don’t you think you
could slip six months on him, any
how.’
‘No, can't extend his time a
minute.’
‘Bat you are sure that you
won't let him out under a year?'
‘We’ll keep him in that long.’
‘Well, I'm much obliged to you
for doin' what you can,' she said,
arising, ‘and I believe that if you
had the power you wouhl do more
for me. Good day.’—Arkansan

Ysnnff Men Against Prshibitisn.
A telegram in Tuesday’s pa
lters announced that the young
men of Atlanta had met the night
before anil organized an anti pro
hibition club. The telegram also
goes on to say that 800 were pres
ent and that speeches were made
in favor of the restoration of the
| whisky traffic in that city. It
His net being a citizen makes ! wouhl be interesting to hear what
young men may hare the power to
disappoint the hopes of their par
ents, the ambition that rises in
their own bosoms.”
All this could he said by young
men, and old men too, in favor ot
whisky, and still it would not
strike a sympathetic chord, and it
would re|>el, it would horrify.
What did these young men say
in favor of a restoration ol the
whisky traffic? Surely they did
not say that prohibition has in
jured Atlanta, for such would be
in the face of the record. Surely
they did not say that the whisky
traffic was necessary to the pros
perity of Atlanta; and certainly
they did nut say tiiat there was
that in the business that could
recommend it, on its own merits,
and that it was necessary to the
happiness of the young men, or
likely to prove of benefit to the
mothers and wives and daughters
of Atlanta.
We hope some enterprising re
porter will give the public what
the young men said, fur in all
honesty and candor we would be
happy to hear oue good, cogent,
logical, moral or economical reas-
en why the liquor traffic, and its
harvest of broken hearts,* ruined
homes, blasted lives, will lie ol
benefit to the young men of At
lanta.—Thoinasville Enterprise

“Aud lie could be sent to the
penitentiary before he had a righi
to vote?’’
“Yea.”
‘And stay there just the same
as any citizen?*
“Certainly.’
‘Shore?’
‘Of course, madam. I know
what I am talking about. I
would like to tell you, before you
pul yourself to the trouble ol
pleading his case, that it-is quite
useless. He is doubtless guilty,
and I therefore cannot grant him
a pardon.’
‘My sakes alive, man, don’t
skeer yourself, for I'm not going
to ask for a pardon. The letter
I writ you at a time when 1
thought you couldn’t bold him
unless he was a voter stated the
fact that be voted at the last elec
tion whether or no.'
a young man could or would say-
in favor of whisky; in fact we
would like to hear a speech from
a young man in a-lvucacy of nliat
the thinkers of the world, the
men who rise above mere ques
tions of policy or expediency,
have agreed to be the greatest
evil of this, nr any other age.
Perhaps he wouhl begin in this
way. “I am in favor of the whis
ky traffic because it gives me the
lilierly to make a brute of my
self; because it gives me the [low
er to sow a harvest of sin that
will bring a return of death and
disgrace; because it will enable
me to bring sorrow to my mother
and uneasiness to my friends.”
“I believe Atlanta ought to
have the traffic in whisky res tor

Speech of Kca. Henry K. Jackson
Below we publish the address
lelivered by General Henry R
fackson before the Confederate
eterans in Macon.
General Jackson was introduc
'd by Col. W. J. Northern, and
said:
Confederate Veterans: To il
nstrate the public virtue of the
Romans, which exalted a town
:ntn a nation, and a nation to the
rule of the Pagan universe, Na
poleon HI made mention among
others of the fact that instantly
upon the close of civil war, atnnes
ty, unqualified, was proclaimed
lor all; no triumph was decreed
.0 the victor leader in such a
strife but all Rome went into
mourning fur the gallant dead 01
both sides. Ever, hereafter, with
patriotic delight, may we invoke
the scenes of this day to illu:-
trate the startling truth Ilia'
there is in American life an im
pirial power more effective foi
practical ends than the lofty vir-
ue of the Roman jicoplc in the
grandest epoch of Roman histo
ry. Where else upon earth t>
day arc similar scenes possible?
Xot"in Hungary, where Kossuth
lives! Not in Poland where Kos
citisko fell! Not Ireland, though
the empyrean ring with the migh
ly music of Gladstone’s eloquence
—not in the tearful land where
Emmet suffered! For today,
there stands upon the soil ol
Georgia the distinguished Mis
sissippian who, within the life ot
the present generation, was a
prisoner in irons—the so called
"traitor” leader of a so called
“lost” cause. We, Confederate
veterans, relict of the armies
which fought for that cause, are
here to meet him; to move before
him in the pride ,and pomp ol no
Roman triumph, it is true, but
bending our necks to no Roman
yoke of subjugation. By invita
tion of the State of Georgia,
speaking through her duly cm
[lowered all have come. Behold
majestic truth revealing herself!
•State sovereignty is not dead
Georgia is a sovereign still, and
calls upon her people to glory
with her to-day. Her glory is in
her history; her history is the
memory of her dead; and this
• lay is consecrated to her Con
federate dead. They were guilty
• •I no treason to her. To whom
then, could they be traitor.-?
Where shall we seek their higher
sovereign? Shall we find him iu
the federal constitution? Then
here was a sovereign smitten to
earth by traitor hands, trampled
in the dust by traitor feet; bul
the hands and the feet were not
theirs. Do we hold that the men
who fought ngaidsl them were
traitors? Not at all! not at all!
not at all! They loo, were loyal to
their sovereigns. The constitu
tion was but a treaty—most so!
emn, by oath upon conscience
stamped compact, il is true; and
yet at last but a treaty between
high contracting sovereign par
ties, without one atom of sover
eignty in itself. Hence with im
punity, through long years of
painful agitation, was il broken;
broken by the sovereign parlies ol'
the North. Called ofientimes “a
compact with hell,” they enacted
into crime the mere attempt of
federal power to enforce it within
their dominions. And because,
after decades of endurance as pa
tient as it was delusive, the sov
ereign parties of the South de
clined to accept their revolutions
ry will in permanent place of the
constitution, the compact break
ing sovereigns of the North, with
numbers overwhelming and “ma
terial” unbounded, made aggres
sive war upon tbem to accept it.
Simple record this; yet forever
fixed in the firmament ol trutk.
Falsehood abroad, reckless or ma
lignant; dallying with the false
at home—ill judged, cowardly or
renal, cannot unfix it. As well
attempt, standing upon a stool, to
pluck a fixed star from heaven.
The world has been told that
the people of the South made the
war to perpetuate African slavery.
This is false! They did not ere
ate that institution, nor do they
now wisli to restore it. Not that
shame can attach to its memory.
False, indeed, must he the histor
ic muse to her clearest duly, if,
all things being fairly considered
—the parlies, the surrounding,
the results she fail to hand it
down to future limes as the gent
lest, and by far the most civiliz
ing and humanizing relationship
ever borne by labor to capital.
The jieople of the South flew to
arms not to perpetuate bnt to im
perial their peculiar institution;
uor to save but to sacrifice prop
erty in defense ol honor; nay! to
sacrifice life itself rather than
tamely submit to insolent wrong.
Forth* right to govern themselves,
bequeathed to them by their fath
ers, they were prepared to immo
late all. The principle for which
■ hey fought—the only principle of
government expansive enough to
meet the requirements of advanc
ing civilization, made of late by
Gladstone's eloque: ce so familiar
to Euro[iean thought was Ameri
can born. Sun of the modern ns
compared with the ancient civili
zation; “home rule,” as contrast
ed with Roman centralization, it
rose in the West, anil now mounts
lie western firmament, red with
'.lie blood of Confederate heroes,
noist with the tears of Confeder
ate widows and orphans. East
ward shall it continue to roll, car
rying with it the blessed light of
the Christian civilization all
round the globe. And, so sorely
as it mores, it shall bring the day
>f a final triumph, to be decreed
by the mind and conscience ot
nan to lime tested truth. In that
triumphal procession Abraham
Lincoln shall not move as the
rightful President, but Jefferson
Davis, the so called traitor, leader
of a so called “lost cause.” The
memory of those chains will thrill
along that awful line with a power
never given to mortal eloquence.
In that silent but majestic march
will more “the Confederate States
of America,” each wearing her
truth studded crown of sovereign
ty untarnished; Georgia bcaiiBg
in her prond aims her Bartow,
her Cobb, her Walker, her blood
stained heroes unnumbered, who
fell with a sense of the coming
glory uneclipsed in their sours.
If this be the coming of “the
new Sontb,” name which occupies
the air at times, then we, Confed
erate veterans, cry, New South nil
hail! Do we not my brothers?
All hail! renovated union of sov
ereign Stales as planned by* the
common fathers, who “worked
more wisely than they knew.”
AH hail, grand American repub
lican republic of wheels within a
wheel; resplendent illuminator of
the modern world! We, we, too,
Confederates, can echo from our
hearts, and re-echo from our
heart of hearts, the patriotic cry
of Webster the Great: “Thanks
he to God that I, loo, am an
American citizen.”
But, if the so-called Bew South
be a base surrender of the old, a
false confession—meanly false—
of shame in our past, shame in
our sires, shame in onr dead,
which none but the silliest fool
can honestly feel, then, with ail of
the power given to us by the
God of Truth, we cry: Avaunt!
false South avaunt? Rotton trunk
upon a cursed root, thy- fruit must
turn to ashes 00 the lip.
There ought to lie more socis-
bility and friendliness among
farmers. They do not, as a gen
eral rule, indulge much in visit
ing. Exceptions of this remark
may be found in certain localities,
but as a general rule, the agricul
tural class are unsocial. Want
of lime to “go a visiting” is tbs
usual pica, but it is rather a flim
sy one. It is often urged by peo
ple who can always find a whole
day's time when a circus comes
round, who attend all the
1 auction sales in the neighborhood,
and run after an^pelilical stomp
orator who conies into their vi
cinity. “I ain’t no visitor,” is a
remark often heard among conn-
try folk, and some appear to re
gard this feature as a sign of vir
tue and a streak of goodness. But
we have social natures that ought
not to he starved, and the culti
vation of a neighborly spirit is a
public and patriotic duty.
