Although on summer love he fe.t, At last he finds Septemuertnaker, it dwindle; For, back in town, the girls all cue him dead. Anti make him see too late it. is a swindle. SCANDISK. Th*>re are some men, anti, 1 am sorry to say, some wonie, whose aspiration does not reach higher than to gossip from door to door and make false re ports against their neighbor to bring reproach upon their good name and often by a nod, wink or smile add fuel to the flame, and yet not say one word. The only way some people can bring themselves into notoriety is by abuse and viilification of others. The man who serves a sentence in the peniten tiary or sleeps in a prison cell does not suffer the. grief, shame and disappoint ment us he whose honest, innocent character is coated with the paint of slander. We cun see how man can be forced by poverty and hunger to steal; how men in the very heat of passion will slay their fellow-man, or. by the wreck of habits, can take their lives into their own hands and plunge out into an un known future, or debauch themselves, but there are souls too lofty, hearts too pure to understand how this mon ster of all iniquity can ruin the repu tation or destroy the character of an innocent being. Raphart, the great Italian painter, with one stroke of his brush could draw the scenes of a landscape that would be enchanting to the enthusias tic tourist, but with all his untiring zeal ana energy and with a lifelong ex perience as a painter, could not dr,aw the picture of a heart so black, corrupt arid foul that would be a fit sample for that vile slanderer which stalks its nrev at noonday and firings upon its victim at night. How shall I treat scandal and slan der? “Never be in too big a hurry, and never pay attention unless dignity and duty demand vindication; and when vindication is impossible, wait on God. Never brush off fresh mud from your clothes. Let it dry.” Slander will run its course after awhile, and though we nmy never be pronounced innocent by all, yet char acter untainted will shine again fike the sun through the clouds, even if the sky never becomes clear. Be encouraged when the threads’ of slander have been wrapped around you without a cause, for the birds always pick at the. sweetest berries and the most luscious fruit. It is the good fruitful tree that is beat, bruised and thrown at. Never let the trail of slan der or the threads of condemnation stop the great car of of your progress one moment. 'The perpetrator is only seek ing to bring you on a level with him self “If God is for you. who can be against you?” Real the thirty-seventh Psalm. There are a certain class ot men and women who live in rainbow riches and sunset gold that can see only the evil deeds of their fellowman’s life, and they take them up before the world end thoroughly air them, making them as dark as it is possible for the paint of slander to stain, keeping your good deeds covered up and detracting from your dignity and goodness all that is possible to make you wretched Deep down in the hottest hell, where dwells the foulest devil, surrounded by every conceivable punishment, wreath ed in flames and wrapyed in darkness, is the everlasting abode of the vile ser pent-tongued slanderer, whose eternal reward is just and whose punishment is Out the revenue of his labor on earth, infinitely worse than theft, murder and arson. I’ve seen these slanderous men and women go during a revival and kneei around the alta and talk to sin ners. God pity them and open their eyes to see the error of their way be fore it is to late forever. OCCASIONAL Tho wonderful performance of the North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm dtr Grosso has taken away the breath of even, those who expected the most of her. To cut off atone sweep 18 hours 14 minutes from the quickest time ever made by any ship on the trip from New York eastward across the Atlautic is something never dono since steam itself took tne place of saii3. The Kaiser’s eastward time from shore to shoro, 5 days 15 hours H) minutes, cut off by 7 hours 25 minutes even her champion westward run, which was 1 hour 56 minutes faster than any voyage ever made before by any ship. Still greater performances are expected of Major W. W. Clmrltou Dead. On Thursday last Major W. W. Charl ton died si (.' ■i-t-: vie, ITm 1. i-shntu county Georgia. Major Charlton w. -a native of Ranks county, and went from that county to the Confederate Army as lirft lieuten ant of the famous “Banks County Guards.” lie was a gallant Confeder ate soldier and succeeded Gap! Can dler the first Commander of tho “Banks County Guards.” Serving as Captain for about one year lie was promoted to the rank of major of his regiment, whie rank he he) , at the close of the war. Major Chari ton was a clever, bright genial gentleman, who won for himself friends wherever he was known. Hav ing been for a number of years in the Clerical department of the State Leg islature, his acquaintance, became quite extended throughout Georgia and there are many whose hearts will be saddened at the announcement of his death. A good and useful man in his sphere, he leaves behind him a good and worthy record. There .are many of his fellow-com rades in arms, who, surviving him, will not fail to place upon Ids grave flowers moistened with their tears, as they exclaim, “Noble comrade, requieseat in peace.” —Athens Banner. SIGNS OF PROSPERITY. The return of gold to this eomtry is generally accepted as one of the most, substantial signs of renewed prosperity. The gold arrived or shipped durtng the past week amounted to $8,850, 000. and it is thought that before the movement stops §40,000,000, or 50,- 000,000, will come. The Treasury now holds nearly $150,000,000 in gold, against si ’25.000,000 last year and $93 million in 1895, The failures for the quarter to .Oct 1 were tho smallest of any quarter since 1802, and the business payment*, tnrough banks the largest by $ 208,- triiliion dollars, according to Dun’s Review, ever known in September The week’s exchanges were 8-8 per cent, larger than in 1892. The aggregate returns of the rail roacs for September were 12-8 per cent, larger than last year. There was a net increase of si 3.160,440 in the money in circulation for Sept. The export trade has been enorm ous. but there was a falling off during the past week of I million bushels of both corn and. wheat. It is thought to he a hint from foreign customers to our farmers and speculators uot to hold buck for higher prices. An advance in wool loan average of 20 cents a pound adds to the satis faction of the farmers. The hoped-for rise in wages to meet the increased cost, of living comes, us usual, the last and slowest of all. —N. York World- Thrice A Week Edition. Kansas. There is not so much politics borne os Kansas breezes this fail as usually there is. The reason for it may perhaps be gathered from a late news item to the effect that a Kansas farmer had lost a S3OO diamond in his wheatfield. When a farmer is making money enough ti> buy a SBOO diamond, he has not time lor politics. Tho wheat crop of the grasshopper state was an immense one. Valuable as It was, however, tlm live stock market ed in the state this year promises to he still more so. The reason that “droughty Kansas” was covered with morii gages m i then deserted 15 years ago was because the right crop fur tho semi arid parts of ilio stale had not b..', n d,s- COV’ ltd. Tho \v. -1 ■in end of the state was never intended for agriculture, but it will raise a crop far more valuable than grain. This is live stock. In western Kai as th ra have b< • n during the past summer 200,000 beeves fatten ed and prepared for market, i'ho plan is to ship the cattle from the hot re gions of tho southwest in early summer and iir isb them off for market on tho pastures of cooler Kansas. The scheme has worked profitably both to tho Tex ans and others who rear the calves and to the Kansas grazier who buys them lor fattening. One yotutg man cleared $lO,- 000 in six months in western Ku • ;• by fattening beeves for market. He will not go to the Klondike at present. in one month, August, the Kansas City stockyards revived from Kansas alone 183,000 cattle. The hogs and sheep marketed at the same yards from Kansas daring the same time brought the number of food animals received and sold there for August up to 809,307. Of course many thousands went to Chicago and other points, i The climate of Kansas is such that, with the alfalfa crop which grows so luxuriantly, the food animals need to be housed and fed only two mouths of ! the year. This gives the grazier in that locality a great advantage over the Stock man farther north. From present indications the God forsaken, mortgage plastered, poverty stricken, droughty re gion of wo torn Kansas will in the im mediate future become one of the rich est sections of this Union. We shall see what effect this will have on the pol itics of the stare. - lIOMKIT, c; A., THURSDAY, OCTOREU 21, 1807.

(re tired), who is said i.i ha a relative of the man who built lb vgs wharf, San Francisco, away be- k in the fifties, tells a wonderful talc oi ilia discovery of gold in Aki.-:l:a > tin- hater part of tho sixties. He was on hr.n in that coun try at that time at a point near Juneau, and says that ivn in 'n o curiy ‘lays great lumps of gold wo. -ahib.pd by the natives. “Often natives from the interior would come down wearing necklaces made of nuggets picked on from the crcelfs in tho in vior," ho said th - other day. “At one. lino there was a tribe which had been conquered by an other and a penalty was exacted. Scone of the conquered tribe came over tlie Oliilkat pass with a certain amount of gold, which on being weighed was found to he short of the price demanded by the conquerors. Several chiefs were In Id as hostages while the remainder cf the tribe was directed to cross the mountains and procure a sum sufficient to liberate the others. They were gone several months, and when they cam back an amount more than Ir edell to pay the ransom was brought in. No could ascertain whence tiis money came, but from tho direction in which they went and the length of time occupied in making the trip it was believed that they went r.ianv miles inland. “1 believe that these men went into tho passes of the Klondike country and picked up by the crude means at their command enough gold to secure the am ■ ■■ needed to complete th ransom. It vas a topic of discussion among those who were detailed on duty at that rime, and many plans were laid to secure in formation relating to the location of the claims, lat these Indians kept the matter secret and would never disclose where they £ -riveil their treasure. 1 believe that even eo far back :*.s 80 years ago they went into the country which is now exciting the at tr: cion of the whoh world and obtained the money necessary to release their relatii"B.” — Sail Francis' ■ Cbroi.h !•' DIED AT HIS POST.

James McDonald, the fci-cnau, sat on the* other aids of the engine, looking down the glistening lines of rail and for a time did not know that them was any thing wrong with the ongtir.'er. He glanced in that direction, but only svw the body of the engineer still in tho scat mid did not think of him being dead.

The fireman stopped the train and told the other trainmen what had hap pened. When Tormy died, he was leaning back in his seat in the cab, looking ahead at tho track.

The r-asoii is this, asset forth by Mr. Chamberlain.: Up to about If 0U the ships of t tic world Wore of wood. In America, with our vast forests, wood was cheaper and more plentiful Mian anywhere else in tin- li'. ili. od world. Coi).-:. ipiei. iy ,vo could build ships to beta.) advantage than any other people could do. In 1800, however, a change came ovor tl-.e shipbuilding industry. Ves.--.-ls of iron mnl steel instead of wood began to be used. Great Britain had both ti e mines and the workers to i ike tlm cheapest and best steel vessels, hence the industry pass-: 1 bodily over to her, where it has remained ever since. Cvn tuissiofier Chamberlain holds out i!.:> hope, however, that this s*lnation is again to be changed. With ova i..mi;cir-o | area of cheap coal and cheap iron ore I we are beginning to show that we can make steel at lower rates than England ■ can. This fact, united wiih the .-.101l iiud knowledge gained by American workmen in constructing the vessels of the navy, makes it look ; if Amorican goods might yet pat to s; a in American built ships at no far distant, time. When our marine commerce is men tioned, Americans naturally think of tho sea trade of tiro great . cei '.s. par ticularly that between lSuropi and the United States. How small a part of our real shipping trade that constitutes Mr. Chamber lain shows us by figures. Ho divides the marine trade of the country into three portions—first, our domestic mid coastwise; second, that between oar country and foreign pore- on the west ern continent; third, that across tho Atlantic and Hncifie oe, arts l . ports n >r, less tam 2,000 tuilufl away The river, lake, canal and coasting trade amounts to 125,000,000 tons a year.
