No Railroad Sale.
The Savannah, Dublin & Western
railroad was put up on the block in
Savannah Tuesday, but only $35,000
was bid and it was withdrawn, as the
minimum sum fixed in the order for
sale was $50,000. Judge Falligant
has granted an order to sell the road,
without reference to prices, on July
2nd, and it is presumed it will then be
bid off by some one.
The Woolfolk Trial
Is iu progress in Perry. Up to last
reports nine jurors had been ottiined,
and we suppose before this the jury
has been made up. Woolfolk will
get an impartial trial in Houston
county, (as he had iu Bibb, for that
matter), but the end is a long way
off. Iiis attorney is one of the sharp
est lawyers in the state.
The Chicago Tribune makes the
remark that “quinine is down to the
lowest price ever known, 25 cents per
ounce.” That’s what naturally re
sults from the removal of the duty on
the article; but our protectionist
’friends will find that it is “too cheap' 1
and will no doubt advocate a restora
tion of the duty.
In the Summer of Success.
The June number of The Southern
Cultivator is a handsome and most
interesting and valuable periodical.
.Its table of contents covers the entire
range of topics connected with every
department of farm life, and the
practical information imparted in a
single number is invaluable. The
Cultivator is pre-eminently practical,
and its motto is: we strive to make
each issue better and more practical
than its predecessor. We recommend
it to our readers. Send on one dollar
and get it for one year. Address

The Asylum Overcrowded,
The board of trustees ot the lunatic
asylum, on account of the overcrowd
ed condition ot the institution, and
especially in the female department,
have found it necessary to instruct the
ordinaries of all the counties that pa
tients can only be received as vacan
cies occur, and application must be
made before sending. Preference is
to be given to recent or dangerous
cases.
Since it became known that the
republicans have a very slim majority
in this congress, death lias been bus
ier with democratic than with repub
lican members. The only members
that have died have been democrats.
They arc three iu number: Messrs.
Burns of Missouri, Townrhend of Illi
nois, and Gay of Louisiana. Demo
crats have been elected to succeed the
first two, and as Mr. Gay’s district
f aTC a democratic majority of about
2,000 at the last election, he
will doubtless be succeeded
by a democrat. It is a little siugu
lar that every death thus far among
members should have beeu of demo
crats, but the republicans need not
argue from that fact that Providence
is on their side.
The movement" in behalf of cotton
bagging as a substitute for jute bag
ging seems to be progressing satisfac
torily, and the chances are that it will
bo successful. The jute trust will
have itself to blame if it finds a big
supply oi bagging on its bands at the
end of the year. Last year it was
grasping. It wanted to make an
enormous pile of moucy in a very
short while. Thu year it has deemed
it expedient to reduce its prices, but
in view of last year's experience the
farmer’s don’t feel as if they want to
have anything to do with jute bag
ging. The general use of cotton bag-
png would greatly increase the con
sumption ot cotton.
The Merchants and Cotton Bag
ging.
The merchants of Georgia should
certainly co-operate with their farm
er patrons in their efforts to break
down the jute bagging trust, and to
better their condition through a sub
stitutiou of the coarse cotton covering
foi jute bagging. The bagging can
be had, and the farmers are going to
have it, and the merchants should
show a disposition to aid them in
this movement.
There is, unquestionably, a belief,
as expressed by the Boston Journal
of Commerce, that if the farmers find
opposition to the movement, it will
prove a liinderance to the accomplish
ment of their present purpose to cov
er this year’s crop with cotton liag-
B'ng.
There never was a greater mistake,
for there is a determination among
farmers that amounts almost to ties-
pa rot ion to tabhoojutc bagging, and
it will he done at. any sacrifice. The
News and Advertiser has watched
"the course of affairs with interest,
mixed with apprehension that the
kindly relations existing between the
farmers and merchants might lie
strained through the action of the Al
liance. a
Theie is no necessity for any Well a
misfortune to befall the country, for
the merchants are the farmers well-
wislies, proven through the long
years in which they have befriended
them. The farmers have also stood
by the merchants. There arc mu
tual benefits in the cultivation of the
closest and most confidential business
relations between these classes—the
two great props and stays of a coun
try’s prosperity! The fiftmer is the
producer, and the merchant, by
furnishing a market at home, and by
forming a medium of distribution,
gives increased value to the farmer’s
products. There arc reciprocal duties
due from one to the other, and a
recognition of them always contrib
utes to the general prosperity.
The merchants of the country evi
dently entertain fears that the cotton
packed in cotton cloth will have to
be unpacked at a loss, anti they are
conscientious in lamenting 11 more
which they think will lose money to
the former. This need not be the
case, for the Exchanges of the South
ern sea ports should regulate this
matter. It is a well known fact that
every cent paid for jute bagging is
lost by the farmer, for the price is
regulated in Liverpool, and tare taken
off; the farmer being paid for the raw
cotton.
Now, we submit that the merchant
who does not actively co-operate with
farmers in trying to save the price of
this bagging to the country, is stand
ing in his own light. To cover with
jute, the rnw material beingimported,
takes the whole sum which it cost
out of the country, while to cover
with cotton saves the cost of the raw
material to the South. That is a
plain and easily understood preposi
tion. For illustration, assume that
the raw material of jute bagging, not
counting cost of manufacturing, cost
50 cents per bale, that means 83,590,-
000 sent out of the country. Now,
assuming thnt the cotton required to
cover a bale cost the same, its use
results iu saving to the planters of the
South 83,500,000.
There is another benefit to the cot
ton growing states involved in the
use ot cotton bagging; the 100,000
bales consumed iu making the bag
ging will decrease the visible supply
that much,and raise the price in the
same ratio as it bears to the total
yield. Every new use found, to
which cotton can be put, benefits the
cotton producers in proportion to the
amount consumed.
There is no occasion for any difier-
encc between the farmers and mer
chants on this question. If the mer
chants cau’t sec that it is to the
farmers interest to use cotton hugging,
why, lie is entitled to his opinion, and
the different views can be held, and
the same close and friendly relations
continue to exist.—Albany News.
“There is only^one way to get satis
faction out of a public offiice,” said
President Harrison to a friend not
long ngo, “and that is to please your-
sclt while you are in it. You cauuot
possibly give satisfaction to the rest
of the people, no matter how you try
the less success you will have. The
best president that it is possible for
the country to have is always sure to
go out of office with enough enemies
to raako him uncomfortable if lie is a
very sensitive man, and the worst
possible president, when retiring from
office, is sure to have enough friends
to make life agreeable to him, if he
has sense enough to care for himself.
The one thing that I will try to do as
president, will be to act so that when
try term of office has expired, I can
say with truth and n clear conscience,
‘thank God, I have satisfied myself.’
It is the only satisfaction Xhat a man
can be certain of.”
NEWS NOT LIBELLOUS.
Tho Province of a Newspaper, As
Defined by Judge Ingraham.
New York WmT.l.
The libel smt of ("has. W. Hodges,
of Cranford, N. J , against the Press
Publishing Company, on trial for five
days past, before Judge Ingraham,
resulted yesterday in a verdict for ihe
defendant, with an allowance ot $200
for counsel lees. The suit grew out of
a publication in the New Jersey edi
tion of the World in July, 1885, in
volving Lodges in the purchase of a
saloon in this city, by one Moncton,
who wrote to a friend named Mocker
son, in Elizabeth, N. J„ that lie had
been deceived by Hodges and had
lost $600, the earning of a life lime.
The publication of ibis letter constitut
ed the libel of which Hodges com
plained. Evidence showing the facts
ol the saloon purchase, the behavior
ot Hodges and Moncton’s frequent
abuse of him for swindling him, was
produced by the defense, together
with the depositions of the mayor, city
judge and chief of police of Plainfield,
testifying to Hodges’ bad character.
Hodges denied any desire to swindle
Moncton, proclaimed his letter to
Mockerson to be false and gave Hodges
a good name.
DeLancy Nicoll and W. R. Bronk
appeared for the World. Mr. Nicoll
said there was not the slightest pre
tense of malice. There was no pur
pose in publishing it except the duty
of a correspondent to his newspaper
in furnishing it the current news. The
newspaper owes to the public a great
duty—that of printing the news—which
if not performed faithfully, will result
in the loss of its circulation and stand
ing.
In his charge Judge Ingraham said:
•The importance of the newspaper in
the detection and prevention of crime
cannot be over estimated. The schemes
to enable men to obtain dishonestly
the savings ot a life time are numer
ous, and it is to the newspapers almost
entirely that we must look for the de
tection of these crime}. If, in this
case,the defendant can satisfy the jury
that the published story is true sub
stantially, he has committed no offense
and is er,tided to a verdict.”
Put Your Money South.
Manufacturers’ Record.
It has for 6ome time past been no
ticeable that idle money in our East-
rn financial centers lins been literally
going a begging for investment.
Scarcely a month ngo 82,000,000
worth of real estate, comprising lots,
building and warehouses scattered
throughout the business section of New
York city, was knocked down at auc
tion at considerable of an advance
over the sum expected to be realized.
It was found however, that the aggre
gate of the rentals amounted to but
5A per cent, of the cash value of the
property, so that after deductiug tnxes,
repairs, etc., the net income from the
premises was but -1 per cent. And
yet the purchasers of this property
thought they were making an excel
lent investment, and so they were,
judged by the earning capacity of
capital in the North, for many large
real estate owners arc glad to receive
3 to 4 per cent, net on their invest
ments. And now comes an even
more striking illustration of the de
creased earning power of money, or
perhaps one had hotter say, the help
lessness ot capital. On Thursday last
Comptroller Myers, of New York city,
opened bids covering nearly $8,000,-
000 of the proposed 89,000,000 issue
of park bonds at 2jr per cent., the
prices bid ranging from par to 1A per
cent, above. Among the bidders
were some of the most solid financial
concerns, such as the Metropolitan,
Central and Atlantic Trust Compa
nies, pavings banks and private bank
ing houses. A trust company stands
ready to take the balance at par, if
the offer should prove acceptable.
Where to invest money to advan
tage is becoming a problem the more
vexing as the grand total of idle
wealth increases. Twenty years ago
a family inheriting 8100,000 could
count oc a life of comparative afflu
ence, since an incomascf 10 per cent,
and upward could safely be looked
for. To-day, as investments in gen
eral go, 5 per cent, is considered a
decidedly profitable income. The re
cent refunding of the British Con
sole, to say nothing of Mr. Secretary
Windom’s management of American
government securities under the Gar
field administration, taught the world
that the period for large returns on
security in vestmeutshas passed. With
in a very few years the savings banks
of New York and other Eastern money
centers will lie compelled to find good
fields for the investment of 8500,000,-
000 or perhaps double that vast sum.
The surplus capital in New England
seeking profitable investment is prob
ably even greater than iu New York,
and it would be well for Southern
enterprises to be more vigorously
pushed in that field. In the mean
time, capitalists, banks, trust compa
nies, savings institutions and other
financial concerns are puzzled where
to put their idle capital to the best
advantage.
To all such one may properly say:
Docs not the South, which throughout
its borders is pulsating with the grow
ing vigor of industry, offer the very
best field for the investment of capital ?
Certainly, nowhere in the world are
the natural laws nt progress sustained
by favorr hie conditions more actively
at work. The profits to be reaped
from investments in the south, in
mineral and timber lands, iu furnaces,
mines and factories, jadiciously man
aged, appear to he fabulous to all who
are not familiar with the logic of ex
perience. Let the moneyed men of
the North, therefore, come South,
look around, select the enterprise in
which they may see fit to invest, and
with anything like, discretion in the
matter of management, returns upon
capital ventured will be double,
triple and in many cases quadruple,
can be obtained upon equal outlays
upon safe ventures iu the North and
the older sections of the West. The
El Dorado of the next half century is
the South. The wise recognize it;
the dull and the timid will cre long
regret their sloth or their hesitancy
A Big Dry Goods Firm Fails Owing
$160,000 With Equal Assets.
Columbus, Ga., June 3.—One of
the heaviest failures that has occurred
in Columbus in a long time was an
nounced to-day. The Bee Hive,
Sternberg & Loewenherz, proprietors,
was closed by the sheriff under a mort
gage held by Clafflin and Co., of New
York, for $15,000. The Bee Hive
was the largest retail dry goods estab
lishment in Columbus, and did a large
business, employing a large number
of salesmen. The proprietors are
active business men, anil the failure is
generally regretted. Their liabilities
are estimated at $160,000, and their
assets are nearly as much.
A Fine Depot.
It is understood that the Georgia
Southern railroad has let the contract
to James Bros., for the immediate
erection of immense freight and pas
senger depot at Valdosta. The depot
will stand near Mayor Thomas’ resi
dence, will be 50x200 feet long, and
two stories high.
The Valdosta Times says: Work on
the road from here to Lake City is
going along finely. Every mile of the
distance is covered by laborers.
The track has been laid to Mud
Swamp, and the grading promises to
be done earlier than the contract.
A New York correspondent writes :
Martin G. Johnson, a well known pro
fessional man in Brooklyn.who resided
on a farm at Jamaica, L. I., died in
1887, worth nearlv $500,000, which he
left to his nephews and nieces, though
in his life time he permitted them to
struggle for a livelihood. He gave
about $20,000 to charitable institu
tions. He was childless. His wife
was given a life interest in the estate,
which she sold to one of her nephews
for $10,000. She had a separate es
tate of her own, which the husband
mr naged for her, and in settling up
the affairs of both the executors found
one of the meanest records ever
brought to light. He had charged his
wife for her clothing and pleasure
trips, and for her seat in the church
where they worshipped in company.
When he gave anything to a charita
ble institution, taking to himself all the
credit for generosity, be charged half
of the gift to Mrs. Johnson’s" account
and said nothing about it. Even his
Christmas presents to her were charged
to her estate. Her accountant figured
out $9,500 charged against her in this
way, and as the heirs refused to make
it good she sued them, and the referee
on Tuesday gave her judgment for
$8,830.”
Sending abroad for supplies that
