VOLUME XX. the day>s work, Do thy day’s work, my dear, Though fast and dark the clouds are drift¬ ing near, Though time has little left for hope and very much for fear. Do thy day’s work, though now I ho hand niu4 falter aud tho head must bow, And far above fho falling foot shows the bold mountain brow. Yet there is left us, Who on the valley’s verge stand trembling thus, A light that lies far in the west—soft, faint, Lut luminous. We can give kindly speech, And ready, helping hands to all and each, Aud patience, to tbe young around, by smiling silence teach. We can give gentle thought, And charity, by life’s long les-ons taught, AVI wisdom, from old faults lived down, by toil and failure wrought. W quean give love unmarred By selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred By the keen arms of power or joy that make you cold and hard. And if gay hearts reject 'Ihe gifts we hold—would fain fare on un- chocked On the bright roads that scarcely yield all that young eyes expect— Why, do thy day’s work still, The calm, deep founts of love are slow to chili; And heaven may yet the h irvest yield, the work-worn hands to fill. —Chicago Herald. THE STORY OF A SCAR. BY A. BANKHEAD. HE story of that » '* • ■ J scar. Thereby hangs a tale, and rather a long one. It was years ago, 1 when I was not & twenty, that I got S '///* . _ it, and not even \t, 1 yet can 1 think of f[fo : V 07/ WS, that shudder. night without a yV’/h [ftfill parents Y° u died know when my I was quite young, and after leaving school mv time used to be divided between Uncle Tom’s house in the city and Aunt Lizzie’s in the country. I was always with Aunt Lizzie in the summer, and it was while ou a visit to her that it happened. She lived quite in the mountains, on a large farm two miles from the railway station, and at least twenty from town. The country was thinly settled, the farms all being large, with few exceptions, and wo had no near neighbors besides the tenants on the place. My aunt, an elderly woman in delicate health, made no attempt to keep up anything except the garden aud the grounds around the house; she kept only two regular ser- vants, a girl, the daughter of one of the colored tenants, who went home every night, and a half-grown boy who slept in au outhouse. The house was an old-fashioned brick one with a basement, and consisted of a ball, entered from a small front porch, a room on either side, and an ell with two rooms running back flora it and opening upon a large back porch. Upstairs the sumo arrangement was repeated; my room was the front room upstairs over the parlor, while my aunt’s was down- stairs in the ell, with a small, enclosed stairway running from it into the room above, iu which her son, mv cousin James, generally slept. But at the time of which I speak James had been away for a week, aud was not expected back for several days, so that at night there was no one iu the house but my aunt and myself. Neither of us was timid, aud such a thing as robbery was so unheard of that very irequentlv the back doors were not even fastened by night, and nc one ever thought of putting away the silver spoons and forks, nor the old sil- ver teapot when night came. Coming from the city, as I did, it seemed to me rather careless, lor 1 knew how careful Uncle Tom’s wife was about her silver iu town; but Aunt L zzie would laugh and say: “Oh, child, there is no danger!” And as nothing ever seemed to happen I be- g&u to thiuk she was right, although my door was always bolted at night aud 1 saw that the. trout door was fastened. Uncle had seut me a check several days before the day of which I am going to tell you, and although not for a verv large amount, it was larger than usual, for I was going to pay a visit to some friends iu L. before going back home. Ou that never-to-be-forgotten day I rode over to the station to get my check cashed, lor I needed some ready money before going away. The postmaster and ticket agent was a sort of genera: factotum, and kept a store of general merchandise, as well as attending to his other business. He always cashed my checks tor me, and did so ou that day as usual. As he counted out the money on the counter, a rnosc ill-favored man walked into tbe store, and I noticed his eyes dwell particularly ou the money, and on the diamond rings whicn sparkled on the fingers ol my ungloved hand, my glove having been drawn oil to indorse the check. I he rings were my mother s. I have always worn them, and still do so. I put the money carefully inside im habit, and mounting my horse, rode off without thinking again of the man, and probally would never have given him another thought if, just as we rose from the dinner table, a tramp had not walked in at the front gate and that tramp proved to be the mau I had seen at the station. I wondered how it had hap- pened that he had taken to the highway instead of the railway track, but said nothing as I obeyed auntie’s injunction to give him some dinner. Aunt had a prefound sympathy for any one who might be hungry aud had had too little sxperience with tramps to be anything THE TOCCOA NEWS AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL. but benign and charitable where they were concerned. I had an uneasy consciousness that the man had seen my money, and wished it had been otherwise, but he proved quite inoffensive, notwithstanding his looks, and after thanking me politely enough for his dinner, walked off up the road. Consequently by night I had for¬ gotten all about the matter, though I did take care to see that the back door was fastened as well as the front, which half the time was forgotten. You must remember that fastening that back door shut me off entirely from the rest of the house, as auntie’s room was in the ell opening on the porch downstairs, while mine was upstairs in front. I undressed, went to bed, and slept quietly until some time in the night, when 1 was awakened by the furious yelping of “Frisk,” a little black and tan terrier, which was in the habit of stealingly slyly under the sofa in the hall downstairs, before the door was shut, in order to spend the night on it when all was quiet; I had forgotten to look for him, and had fastened him in. Then I heard voices outside of my door, men’s voices, and some one said: “Confound that cur! he would raise the dead; the girl must be awake.” The head of my bed was just at the door, and I heard distinctly. I sat up in bed, instantly, my heart beating loudly, so loudly, that it seemed to me I could hear it, for the unexpected had happened, and these were certainly burglars. My first thought was for something to p ut against the door, but there was nothing I could move except a small table full of books, which was on the other side of the door from the bed. I knew it would not be much hindrance, but concluded that the over¬ turning of the table and the books, in case the door was opened, might em¬ barrass and delay them for a few min¬ utes; being top heavy, it w r as certain to overturn if pressed against. The knob was turned as I moved it, and the door shaken heavily from the outside. “Open the door,” said a rough voice, “or I’ll kick it down,"suitingthe action to the word by a vigorous kick. Another voice said: “Hand out that money and them diamonds, little gal, and we won’t hurt you.” How my courage was screwed up I don’t know, for I was too frightened to speak, but I remembered a little pistol which had been given me, and which, being very pretty, I kept lying on my bureau, it wa3 so small as to be almost a toy, but it carried one good-sized cartridge. I knew where to put my hand on it in tho dark and seizing it, 1 placed it agaiust the ^door panel, just where the voice seemed*to be, and fired. There was a loud oath and a cry, and a voice exclaimed; “The little vixen has hit me! jnst let me get at her aud I’ll twist her neck,” while the kicking and shaking were renewed so violently that I knew the door could not possibly hold out many minutes. I did not wait for it to burst open, but rushed to the front win¬ dow, and threw open the blinds; the night was a bright moonlight one, and looking out I could see that one blind ot the parlor window below was open, and the top not so far below that ray foot could not reach it while holding to tho window sill above. I swung myself out, holding on to my own blind as I did so, and after several efforts steadied myself on the lower blind, I dared not let go, but swung there for a moment, sick and dizzy. Then I saw that the edge of the roof over the porch was not over two feet beyond the edge of the blind when wide open, aud up the side of the porch were stout, wooden strips, nailed across to support a honeysuckle, which ha l been growing there so many years that its stem was almost a3 large as that of a small tree. I don’t know how I ever did it; in the day time, and in cold blood, it would have been impossible for me to do it again, but I managed to catch the turned-up edge of the tiu gutter around the porch, and swing myself so that my feet caught on one of the supports to the honeysuckle, aud, step by step, managed to clamber down. As the ground was reached there was a crash upstairs, the vloor having given way, and, with it, down came the table and books, I waited to hear no more, but. half crazed with fright, flew across the lawn towards the side fence, a few yards be- vend which stood the house of one of the tenants. In order to get to it I had to leave the shelter of the trees and come out into the bright moonlight, ray white night-dress making me conspicuous as I did so. There were two windows to my room, one ou the side as well as one in front, aad j heard a voice sav from tbe side “There she goes; shoot her down before she rouses the country on us.” There was the sound of a shot, and I felt something like a cut on my arm, which, all at once, became wet. I did not realize that I was shot, but rushed on over the grass in my bare feet, turnbl- iug over the fence in some sort of fashion, aud tiaaliy falling against the window of the tenant’s house I cried with all my strength: “Oh, Mr. Jones! save me, save me!” Fortunately the house was iow to the ground, and the windows within easy reach, and I fell with such force against the bedroom window that a pane of glass was broken and both Mr. and Mrs. Jones awakened. I remember nothing more until I woke to find myself on the lounge in Mrs. Jones’s room, while she stood by : ue bathing my bleeding arm. Mr. Jones had roused his three sons, and, seizing their shot-guns—always kept on hand for game—they had called the dogs and i^one after my two burglars. The moon- light and the dogs had enabled them to keep close on their track, and I had the satisfaction of hearing next morning that they had been caught, tied hand and foot aud guarded safe to the county jail, They had taken nothing from my TOCCOA. GEORGIA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER room, having been too uneasy about their own Bafety to linger after they found I had escaped. I had shot the man I had seen that day in the shoulder, and he was soma weeks in getting well. The papers made a great ado about my “heroic conduct,” as they weia pleased to term it, and said a good many nice things about me. When my arm got well I had to be present at the trial of the men to testify against them, and had the satisfaction of hearing them sen¬ tenced to ten years in the penitentiary. The man I had seen at the station— the only one I had seen at all in fact, for the others had only been heard—looked at me revengefully when he heard the sentence, and drew one finger slowly across his throat, as much as to say: “I’ll cut your throat yet!” He had been the principal in the affair, had inquired about me at the station on seeing the money, and had made the house boy point out my room when he got his dinner. All this came out at the trial. But perhaps what I have yet to tell is the most serious part of the affair after all: When old Dr. Thomas was sent for to dress my wounded arm, he happened to be away, and his young assistant had to come in his stead, as the case would ad¬ mit of no delay. I don’t know how it came about, but his visits kept getting longer as I grow better, and after my horrid burglar had drawn his finger so meaningly across his throat, I came to the conclusion it was not good for man to live alone—nor woman either. You can guess the rest, as you know my hus¬ band is a doctor.—Yankee Blade. Extraction of Perfumes. Six methods of extracting perfurae3 are known: The first is expression, by means of a special press, which is appli¬ cable without too great I 033 to fruit- skins rich in essential oils, such as orange and citron peel, previously grated. An¬ other method is that of distillation, which consists in heating flowers with water in a boiler. The essential oil is volatilized and is condensed with tho vapor of water in a worm and a Floren¬ tine receiver. The water usually goes to the bottom aud the oil floats. The oils ot neroli, rose, patchouli, geranium, lav¬ ender, caraway, etc., are obtained in this way. The process is not applica¬ ble to the delicate perfumes of the mig¬ nonette and tho violet; and for them re¬ course is had to maceration of the flowers in animal fats or mineral oils, winch have the property of absorbing odorous substances, and are then washed in alcohol. The flowers are usually heated iu the fat or the oil for a variable number of hours. For perfumes which can not endure a high temperature the petals are placed between two frames of glass coated with fat. This is the pro¬ cess of enfleurage. The pneumatic pro¬ cess, which consists in causing a current of perfumed air or carbonic acid to be absorbed by coatings of lard ou glass plates, appears not to have given satis¬ factory results. Another process 'con¬ sists in dissolving perfumes in very vola¬ tile liquids like sulphuret of carbon, chloroform, naphtha, ether, or chloride of methyl, aud volatilizing the solvents, which can be done at a low temperature in a vacuum. The last method ha3 given very satisfactory results in the ex¬ treme delicacy aud great accuracy of its returns.—Popular Science Monthly. Tlie Way Opium is Gathered. When the land has been prepared, the seed sown broadcast, aud covered by the use of a drag, the fleld is laid off into small beds about ten feet in width, irrigated by little water channels. The plants are carefully tended, and when in bloom the petals gleam like silver. These are not allowed to fall off, but are picked one by one and dried by the women and children of the cultivator’s families and then used as a covering for the manufactured cakes ot opium. The bare heads or capsules are left standiug until ripe enough for lanciug. This is done with an implement somewhat like the knives of a cupping instrument, aud it is said that much skill is required in making the incision just the right depth, for if made through the walls of the capsule the juice will flow into the cavity and be lost. The cut is made transversely aud may extend two-thirds around the capsule, or tc be made spirally, ending beyond the starting point. This scarifying is done towards even¬ ing, and the next morning early the cul¬ tivators appear with their long knives and scrape off the exuding juice into vessels held in the hand. Now this is opium in the crude state, and when enough of the juice, half dried, has been collected to form a cake it is wrapped in leaves and put in the shade to dry. In this condition it is purchased by buyers traveling from one village to another. They gather it in small lots, and either wor ^ ^ over thermetves or put it into cotton bags and take it to tvuyrna, w kere it is inspected.—American Farmer. A Spinning Fad. The ancient and honorable art of spinning is to be revived in order that the fair women of society may find a new incentive to living in imitating the thrift which to their grandmothers was a subject of such genuine pride, A pretty woman seated at a spinning wheel twisting the flax between her fingers, her perfectly slippered foot keeps the wheel in motion with a gently whirring sound, is always a picture, for it brings the hands and arms into fine play, Therefore, the new fad is to be aged, for, as it becomes more general, one’s mind will cease to be haunted with visions of the spinning scene in “Faust,” and take ten degrees more pleasure in the private performance got- ten up for tbe benefit of the select few invited or voluntary callers at an infor- mal afternoon reception, The idea In undertaking to learn the art of spinning is to weave a small square of linen, which, when decorated with a trifling amount of embroidery, is then reserved for a gift to the nearest and dearest ac- quaiatauce.—Picayune. — "WEAVER’SKOTTES RECORD FATHER OF THE EIGGEST PEN¬ SION STEAL ON RECORD. SCHEME TO STEAL $3,000,000,000 AT ONCE. Text of the Bill He Introduced in Threo D.fferent Congresses. Tlie People’s Party’s Car.didate’s Record Shown Up in Congress—Ilis Utter¬ ances Against the South. No proposed political measure of recent times lias aroused such widespread in.i.g- nation throughout the south as the propo¬ sition, embodied iu tho 12tli plank of the St. Louis people’s party platform, for the government to pay union soldiers the dlf- ference between tho greenbacks in which their pensions had been paid and gold. This monstrous measure carried with it an appropriation to begin with of $3,000,- 000,000 of which it is estimated that Gaor- gia’s share would have been about §65,- 000 , 000 . As has been stated in The Journal already, the authorship of this infamous provision is claimed by "Cyclone" Davis, the people’s party candidate for attorney general of Texas, who slates that he pre- pared it after consultation with Gen. J. B. Weaver. It may not be generally known, how- ever, that this scheme to rob the govern- ment of threo thousand million dollars— the most gigantic pension steal ever pro¬ posed—is the pet measure of Weaver, now caudida'e of the people’s party for president. Weaver introduced a bill in the 46th, 49th and 50ch congresses, providing for carrying into effect the scheme proposed by tho now notorious 12th plank. The history of Weaver’s connection with this robber measure is told in the following extract from the Congressional Record: CONGRESSMAN CRAWFORD’S SPEECH. Mr. Crawford said: “Mr. Chairman: lam opposed to estab- i. llslung , . precedents . . by winch . . , the . door , may be opened for extravagance in the future, whether it be for tho pensions or what not.

And but a small per cent, of tho vast sums collected and disbursed ly by the federal treasury finds its way back to the pockets of the people whose toil it represents. To those wl.o the dt,conations ot the high pro- tectito tar.ff system there is notbmg strange iu the fact that Massachusetts has §323 rer capita while North Carolina has but §7. "It is the policy of the republican par y to put the government in partnership with the manufactures in the collection of fed- eral taxes, by which the government §1 as tax and the manufacturers get four as bounty. In other words the govern- ment collects ,, §200,000,000 in round sum- hers every year from the foreign merebau- dise brought to this country, and the home manufacturers, by the assistance of the tariff laws, collect §800,000,000 from products, and the people pay it all. "That is to say, the people of the United States pay §1,000,000,000 more annually for the necessaries of life than any other pie on the face of the earth would have to pay for the same goods. "This is called’protection to American labor’(?) and at the same time it millionaires.

Mr. Crawford said: "Mr. Chairman, this hill was introduced by Mr. Weaver at the second session of the forty-sixth congress, and was H. R. 2480, and on December 3, 1879, was referred to tho committee on military affairs, (See House Journal, page 40.) The same bill „ was introduced , , by , him in the forty-ninth congress, and on Jan- uary 11, 1886, was referred to the com- mittee on military affairs. And the same hill was again introduced by him in the fiftieth congress as H. R. 1356 and was referred to the committee on military affairs on January 4,1888. Mr. Weaver’s persistency shows the deep in- terest he had in the success of this measure, haviDg introduced it in every congress of which he was a member. "Mr. Chairman, this is one of the most unjust and reckless schemes ever attempted to be pushed through the American con- gress, and proves conclusively that Mr. Weaver is an enemy to the financial inter- ests of this country, and especially to the south; for we could get no benefit from such appropriations. It is purely sectional. "We want a man for president whose "Air.

"Here are the extracts referred to. He said at Albia Jnlv 18, 1866: “I want to eongiatulate you first, fellow dti- *ens, on the suppression ot a purely democratic rebellion, gotten op by democrats for the dem- ocratic purpose of dissevering this union and perpetually establishing human slavery. Now and forever it is established as an eternal truth that the democracy in no place or s ate can ever ba trustea with government. As a party it should disband, just as a section of it did at Appomattox.” He said in a joint debate with Col. H. H. Trimble, at Bloomfield, on September 4, 1868: “Hero we have the old fight over again. The confederate democracy, north and south, in which the infamous copperhead division of Iowa appears, are again contesiing with Grant for the safety of the union. As at Donaldson, he proposes to ‘move on their work at once,’ and there is no escape for this rank, traitorous horde except in another surrender. Charge on them lellow-republicans, and spare not one, not even a deputy road supervisor, from total political annihilation.” He said in Bio infield on September 26, 1869: “What is the use of further arraigning tho defunct democracy, with all its hoary crimes, at the bar of public opinion? We know that its acts comprise murder, treason, theft, arson, fraud, perjury and all the crimes possible for an organization to connive at.” “It would be a mercy to put its record a mill¬ ion miles down deep in the pit that is men¬ tioned in Holy Writ; and I may add that if a large and distinguished assortment of it3 al¬ leged statesmen were sent along it would be common justice.” He said in Fairfield, September 18. 1870. “The democracy, as usual, are loud in their opposition, but what did they ever do when they had a chance? Here in Iowa they stole the school fund, and nationally they stole the arsenals, the navy, the treasury, everything that was not red hot, and created the very devil’s rebellion. And these men appear anti ssk for your support. They should come on bended knees asking your forgiveness for the unspeakable crimes they have committed and tho wretched miseries inflicted upon our com¬ mon country.” He said in Keokuk, September 16, 1871: “The record of the republican party appeals to the candid judgment of ail men as impeacha¬ ble, save, perhaps, that it was too lenient with the leuding democratic conspirators. Tho same old gang, save those who were shot or hung, are again conspiring to get po-session of the gov¬ ernment next year. Woo to them ! for the loyal hosts will crush them, and crush them forever and forever out of all possible danger of such a misfortune to our common country.” He said at Oskaloosa, September 25th, 1872: “No republican can ever, under any circum¬ stances, have any part or lot with the hungry, rebellious, man hating, woman selling gang corporated under the name of democracy, a name so full of stench and poison that it should be blotted from the vocabulary of civilized man and handed over to the barbarism that it so fitl y now and in all the past has repre- sented. > He said at Stiles, September lltb, 1873, in referring to the financial policy of the democratic party: “But, then, what could you expect from the poor, blind, diseased, decrepit, dismal, damned old democratic party?” Continuing Mr. Crawford said: "I desire lo say in this connection Mr. Chairman, that tho brave old soldiers tlie south were just as honorable, patrio ic and trustworthy when these fal-e and scan¬ dalous harangue i were made as they are in ibis year of grace 1892.
