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Savannah, Dublin & Western railroad was put up on the block in Savannah Tuesday, but only $35,000 was bid and it was withdrawn, as the minimum sum fixed in the order for sale was $50,000.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 Cultivator Publishing Co., Drawer M, Atlanta, Ga. 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 could be raised at home, and educat ing your children abroad, is like taking water out of the pot in which you ate trying to cook greens: you exhaust the water and spoil the greens.
