Al low me, through your columns to make a few suggestions to the farmers of my district and section, who [are now Wing so unjustly and outrage- oiisly treated by the protected bugging trusts of this country Since ray return to Washington I find t}iat-not*.vit!wtu1i.iiiig Idr. it reck- v Tiiridgt*, of Arkansas, hits introduced a hill in Congress to protect the farm ing interest of the country against this unjust and ruinous monopoly by removing the duty from bagging, and, assisted hy the Democrats of the House, will do all he can to pass the bill, yet, with the Republican Senate opposing, it is hardly reasonable to suppose that relief will come in this way. If the Mills tariff hill could be come a law that would afford the needed relief, hut it is the unques tionable policy of tbe Republican Senate to defeat that bill also. Then what are the ^armors, the cotton grow ers of the South to do? Well, I want to make the following suggestions, which if acted upon, 1 am satisfied, will effectually whip out and ruin this bagging combine, and if properly and heroically fought and conquered, through the united and co-operative efforts of the farmers, will at last prove it but a blessing in disguise to the whole farming interest of the country Let the cotton growers get together and. with meaning and in good earn est, resolve that they will hold their cotton, selling no more than is abso lutely necessarv to meet their actual wants and necessities, and in doing this much, let them hyj»othecate, with lJicir hankers or factors, sufficient of their cotton to secure a direct importa tion of foreign bagging for the present or incoming crop. I am sat isfied that under sucTTan arrangement foreign bagging—India bagging espe cially, can be obtained for about what the farmers have heretofore been pay ing for their bagging. Let our farm ers remember liow they lived and cconom i zed jd uring the war, and adopt the same heroic and self-supporting economy. Let them remember that this bagging combine is no less a war against their interest than was our late civil war; and let them meet it with the same spirit and uv+ermina- tion as they did in those trying days, and victory will surely crown their efforts. As the whole country must necessa rily W concerned about tins ruinous blow at the foundation interest of all o?her business and enterprise, it is h ixdly to he suppos-d that the farm-, ers will lack for co-operative action and support, from other needed sources, in theii battle against this protected enemy—this unrighteous combine and monopoly. Let the good j work at once begin with the farmers. Let this thrust at their greatest inter est. their very agricultural existence, be met with a counter thrust, and not only will they strike a death blew to one of the most outrageous trusts which has ever cursed our laud, but they will command a better price for their products, and what is far better, demonstrate to the world at large, what an important factor they are in the commerce of the country. Let the farmers of the country re spect and defend themselves, and the balance of the world will respect and to them alone. Respectfully, JI. H. Carlton. an education is realized. It was long ago remarked by the late Mi. Arnold that much of the superiority of the French and German r-chools was due to the employment of a higher grade of teachers, among whom the propor tion of men was much greater than with us, so that the method was fol lowed with a better discretion and in sight than have been possible with ourselves. To put the matter shortly, then, the French system or method will succeed with us if we cease to put our strength into examinations that are chiefly useful in delaying work, if we transfer suj>ervi*ion from the pupil to the teacher, and if we employ a better grade ef teachars, and more largely male teachers, for the in struction of our youth. In this light there is a great improvement possi ble, and by such means it is not un likely that two years may be saved in American, as it is already saved in the French schools, to the great satis faction of both parents and children. UUR RAILWAY FACILITIES- In this issue will be found the sup- plementa! contract between Mayor R. K. Reaves and Messrs A. H. Hodgson and IV. B. Thomas for the city of Athens, and E. C. Maclien for the (J. & M. road on the question of right-of- way. —- & This suppl^mmrtST contract does not materially change the aspect of affairs from what they have been all along. If you will carry yourself back two years, you will <5nd pj)t* state of affairs to have been as fol lows : Athens was on the eve of los ing a line of railway which, in the opinion of leading citizens, would enure largely to her gain if she could secure it, if she lost it she would be proportionally injured. Public inter est was at n high pitch, our council was called together, and with tfic tul vice of a mass meeting, sent three of their number on to New York to make terms to secure the road. Certain conditions were proposed, among them the granting of the right-of-way from Monticello, through the city of Atliens. Our committee ton.* I have seen similar statements from others, and in fact it seems a |iopular idea with most of our people, both buyers and sellers, that the farmers buy these articles at a nomi nal cost compared w ; ith the price of cotton, and are allowed, under the con ditions of our trade, to sell them at the pri- c of the cotton itself. This is all a mistake; and those who so suppose will find that the facts will not sustain the statement The market for our cotton in this country is fixed hy the regulations which obtain m the European markets. The price in Liverpool is determined according to the custom of trade which deducts a tire of (3 per cent from every b:Je of cotton. That tare is a deduction for bagging and ties, and amounts to 27 pounds on every commercial bale of cotton sold in the European markets. Of course the cotton buyers in New York look to the markets throughout the world, an4 note the price at which jCQtton quoted in Liverpool, ifiat they may buy on terms which 'MiVi enable them to comjKite with Mfyegtool. if they arc exiMjrters^o^-Tf manufacturers, to compete wjffi other manufacturers l>*th at \Sn\e and abroad. Then with till- sWe of affairs, certainly no sen- sild^or safe business nuiji would buy rgging and ties at the price, for which net cotton is sold abroad. If any day the quotations in Liver pool are taken and compared with New York prices, it will be seen (after con verting American money into English pence) that there is a full margin be- twcatt two prices to account for the track reguitei^B of deducting the tare of 0 j>er cent, or 27 pound? froj# every commercial bale. To make thi* matter plain, let us take the figures or estimates of Messrs. J. 8. King & Co. rnd see what, under the trade rule referred to, will be the result to the fanner. That firm makes the es timate for 50 yards of bagging and one bundle of Not knowing ex actly how many tjes urp if* a- bundle, I suppose a bundle is sufficient fop the 50 yards of bagging.

The question of education is ab sorbing greater attention th:in ever before*. The following suggestive ex tract from the New York Times will therefore !>e read with great care. It is a matter in which all are interested if not diroctly concerned : “If two years arc saved in the edu cation of youth under the French method, and the education is better than viiat obtained hy American youth under the longer time, as President Eliot, who has given the matter a care ful examination, affirms in the August Atlantic, there is no time to he lost hy American educators in ascertain ing what can he done for the improve ment of o Jr own system. It has been pur claim anil boast that the American schools were in advance of those in F.uro;>e; they are in some points, but they are behind in others. Where we are behind is in loading our school programmes with so much detail that the pupils bend under the weight and strain, and do not justify our method by satisfactory results. They are kept so long in school that the youth who goes to a profession is graduated at so late an age that a heavy tax is laid ujion parents and guardians for liis support; or if he goes to a trade, so much time is spout in the routine of school-work that lie does net gain knowledge enough within the years that he can stay in school to supply his needs in the plain business of life. Our school system handicaps our young people at both ends of the social scale. The French, by the implica tion of the process of elimination to Uuiir system, have thrown out what ever is su]>ertluoiis, and have so re duced the programmes for both boys and girls that it—is possible to save two years of the time which American pupils now consume in obtaining an education which is far less complete. The question, then, tarns upon the adoption of the French method. Is it wise to shorten our school programmes, as the French have been? Tbe an swer is both Yes and No. President Eliot is not the first to perceive that our school system is loaded down with too much detail. The American prin ciple is that of Davy Crocket “Be sure you are right, then go ahead.” We wish to he so sure of our ground that we dig up the knowledge that has been planted in the minds of our youth by repeated examinations in or der to see if the roots of education have sprouted; we are not willing to wait for nature to do her work, with the line upon line and precept upon precept The examinations are al most s» much of a weight upon the American public schools as the details right-of-way.” Our committee in New York acted on this advice, with the assurance that the city would sustain their action, regardless of legal obstr- cles—they kuctr very well that what the city, as a corporation, could not do, the citizens,who constituted the city, could jo as individusls. That was their position. In order to protect themselves against any unforeseen casualty, on the following day the gentlemen en tered into a further agreement, viz• the one published today. When they returned they laid their first contract before the council and it was accepted and raified. No protest was entered, and the right-of-way would have been subscribed then without a murmur. If our citizens look at this matter a cool, dispassionate way, they will yet present Col. Macken with suffi cient subscription to buy the right-of- way. Looking at the matter from a stand-point of pure business, it is a small matter for the citizens of Athens to give $12,000 to this road. It is greatly to our interest to encourage the road in every way—not try and obstruct its route. If we can gain and hold the friendship of this road it promises to do more for Athens than any line we can get—don’t you sec that, in the hitter fight that other roads are making on it? Why are they fighting it? Because they j*e- ■ognize in it a strong competitor! be muse they know that once finished it will fight for our business and reduce freight aud passenger rates to the lowest possible margin of profit. It will furnish competing lines to both the West and the sea. Our western freights will come from Kansas City via the Kansas city, Memphis & Bir mingham K. K., thence to Macon over a rood which has been chartered and will he built, on to Athens over the Covington and Macon. Does not this mean a lower rate on Western freights? Unquestionably. So toward the sea, our cotton will go over the C. A. M on to Savannah, Brunswick or Charleston. So for through travel from the North to Florida—over the K Jk D. the C. A M. and the road being built from Macon direct to Florida. If our business men will consider what great advantage they are to derive from the f riendslup of this road they will no lon- grrdelay in this matter. The road feels that the citizens are under obligations to give the right-of-way, and as the best evidence *hat they are, ali of the gentlemen who entered into the con tract for the city are heartily in favor of granting it, and willing to tub- scribe thereto. When both parties to a contract agree that it is fair and right certainly it must be so. THE BAGGING TRUST- Of all the suggestions that have been made in regard to the bagging trust the action of the farmers of Wilkes county appears the most rea sonable and advisable. The farmers of that county are intelligent, and in a great many cases wealthy. They met this week in Washington, and, after considering various propositions, they adopted resolutions instructing their representive in Congress to ad vocate Mr. Breckenridge’s bill against trusts, and agreed to use only half the usual amount of bagging to the bale. This is wise and conservative—it is too late to act on the suggestion of Hon. H- H. Carlton as published yes terday. Within the next sixty days a great deal of cotton most be mar keted, and it is impossible to make ar rangements to get bagging from abroad within that time. Let our farmers go ahead, bay tu little bagging as possible, that is the way to keep tbe price from rising any higher, and in the meantime u.gj their representatives in Congress to light “trusts” and “protection” to the death. I per I bales, which added to cost of bagging and tics, viz: $8.90, makes a total cost of $25.91 to be taken from the J Julies of cotton. Then the planter gets a rffSw-bsck on the 50 yards or 100 liis of baggsfifi and on the one bundle or 52 lbs of t;c*i vyhicli at 9 cents per lb. makes $13.(58. Now dgr duct the amount of draw-bock top bagging and ties from the whole cost of tagging, ties and tare, which is $25.91 and you find the farmer is out of pocket $12.23 on his 7 bales of cot* ton, or about $1.75 per bale. Under the existing trade regulation, and through the same rule of estimate you will find that the farmer would be tlm loser even if he could buy his bagging now at same price be paid for it one year ago. This idea, that the farmer is reim bursed for his bagging and ties, jn the sale of his cotton, is too fiagrant- ]y aud palpably fallacious to bo at tempted, when the facts to the contra ry arc so easily and readily obtainable. This is the subtle argument used by the protectionists for continuing these articles on the dutiable list, while the facts, and the true protection of the farming interest argue that tliey shonld l>e made free. No, let not the farmers he deceived with any such ideus or suggestions, but as 1 said in a former letter on this subject, let them market or soli only enough of their present cotton crop to meet their outstanding obligations and tlieir actual necessities, and then with practiced economy commensurate with tbe necessities of the case, they will succeed in protecting themselves against these grinding monopolies, both for the present and the future. Kespectfully, H. H. Carlton. One of the methods adopted by tlie most prominent claim agent in Wash ington to make enemies for the Presi dent is illustrated by a postal card recently sent out to a claimant who had put a case in his hands. This cant, as picked up by the New York Times, was as follows ; [F«e •tmllr.l £ Memorandum from ■eK Counselor it law and sollrltor of patents. «c f- W ASMIMITl S. I>.

OUR FORTUNE IN RAILROADS- The completion of the C. & M. road promises great development in the railroad facilities of Athens. Its building will unquestionably strength en Judge W. B.Thomas with his Bide Ridge and Atlantic road. The two roads would be links in a direct line from the West, via Knoxville, to Florida. Again, tbe Georgia Midland needs bat little impetus to force it on to Athene. The people of Columbus and along the line are anxious for the road to be completed to Athene. This, in connection with the Georgia, Caro lina & Northern, would give a abort and direct line between New York aud New Orleans. The railroad out- Jook for Athena it bright indeed and with proper enoonragement from our citizens there is every reason to ex pect Athens to become a great rail road centre and one of the largest dis tributing points in the South.

ME MSn MK» 6penu$ a gtxxl part of hie summer rest here, too!; for the subject of his vacation sermon of tliis date, “Piasters That Will Not Stick.*' Ilia text was, “Miserable comforters are ye all.**—Job xri, 2. Foi- j lowing is the sermon: The man of Uz had a great many j trials—the loss of his family, the loss of his property, the lo&s of bis health; but the most exasperating thing tliat come j upon him was the tantalizing Lilk of those who ought to have sympathized with him. Looking around upon them, and weighing what they had said, he utters tbe words of ray tejL. Wlur did God let sin come into tho world? It is a question I often hear dis cussed, but never satisfactorily answered. God made the world fair and beautiful at the start. If our first parents luul not sinned in Eden, they might have gone out of tliat garden and found fifty jiara- discs all around the earth-—Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America—so many flower* gardens, or orchards of j fruit, redolent and luscious. I suppose i that when God poured out tho Gilion and ! tho Hiddekel, he poured out, at tbe same ; time, the Hudson and the Susquehanna; ! tho wbolo earth was very fair and beau- ' tiful to look uj>on. Why did it not stay eo? God had tho power to keep back sin and woe. Why did he not keep them back? Why not every cloud roseate, and every step a joy, and every sound music, and all the ages a long jubilee of sinless men and sinless women? God can make a rose as easily as be can make p. thorn. Why, then, tho predominance of thorns? lie can make good, fair, rljK? fruit ft* well j« gnarled and Hour fruiL Whv so much, then, that Is gnarled an«l sour? JIo can make men robust in health. Why, then, are there $o many Invalids? Why not have for our whole race |>erpeiun! leisure, Instead of this tug and toil aiui tussle for a live lihood? I will tell you why God let sin loine into the world—when I get on the Other side of the River of Death. Tliat L Lite place tvjiprc mcl| questions will be answered and such piyatcrjia pplved. He who this side of that river attempts to answer the question only illustrates liis own ignorance and incouq>ctency. All I know U one great foot.

Then gc your way. Deep sympathy lifts not imjcb to say. \ firm grasp of the hand, a compassionate look, just one word that means as much as a whole dictionary, and you have given, perliaps, nil tho comfort that a soul needs.

The human soul is an instrument of a thousand strings, and all sorts of emotions were made to play on it. Now an anthem, now a dirge. It is no evidence of weakness when one is overcome of sorrow. Edmund Burke was found in tlie pasture field with his arms around a horse's neck, caressing him, and some one said, “Why, the great man lias lost his mind!” No; that horse belonged to hi* son who had recently died, and hi** great heart broke over tlie grief. It is no sign of. weakness that men are over come of their sorrows. Thank God for tlie relief of tears. Have you never been in trouble when you could not weep, and yon would havo given anything for a good err? David did well when ho mourned for Absalom, Abraham did well when lie bemoaned Sarah, Christ did well when he wept for Lazarus; and tho last man I want to see come anywhere near me when I have any kind of trouble is a worldly philosopher. Again I remark, that those persons are incompetent for tbe work of comfort bearing who have nothing but cant to offer. There are those who have tho idea that you must groan over tbe distressed and afflicted. There are times in grief when one cheerful face dawning upon a man’s soul is worth a thousand dollars to him. Do not whine over the afflicted. Take the promises of the Gospel, and utter them in a manly tone. Do not be afraid to smile if you feel like it Do not drive any more hearses through that poor souL Do not tell him tho trouble was foreordained; it will not be any com fort to know it was a million years com ing. If you WAnt to find splints for a broken booe do not take cast iron. Do not tell them it is God’s justice font weighs out grief. They want now to bear of God's tender mercy. In other words, do not give them aqua forth when they need valerian. Again I remark that those persons are poor comforters who have never had any trouble themselves. A larkspur cannot feature on the nature of a snowflake—it pew aaw a snowflake; and thoas peo^t wno nave always uvru proeperity cannot talk to those who are frozen in disaster. God keeps aged l»eo- ple in the world, I think, for this very work of sympathy. They bq^licen through all these trials. They Bow all that which irritates and all thdfb.vhich soothes.

People who have not had trial them selves cannot give comfort to others. They may talk very beautifully, and theymihy give you a great deal of poetic sentiment; but while poetry is perfumo that smells sweet, it makes a very poor salve. If you liavo a grave in your path way, and somebody comes aud covers it all over with lowers, it is a grave yet. Those who have not had grief them selves know not tho nivgtery of a broken heart.

God comforted me, and 1 a will comfort you;'* and that will go rh lit to the spot. I11 other words, to con ort others, we must havo faith in God, practical ex perience, and good, sound common sense. Rut there are jliiya |»r four poiisldcrq- tions that I will bring this morning to those who are sorrowful and distressed, and that wo cait ftlwavs bring to th» ru, knowing tliat they will effect a cure. And (he first consideration is tliat Clod sendd our troubles in love, 1 oft op fic^r people In their troubles * ay, “Why, 1 wonder what God lia? against mol” They $eem to think God lias some grudge Agninst Ui*tq beepHSQ froqbjo Pud Wls- fortune havo come.' iJ!i, no. Do you not remember that passage of Scripture, “Whom the Lord loyeth lie cbastcneHi? M A child come* |n yvlth a yorv bad splinter in its hand pud you try fo extract it, R h ft very painful operation, Tho child draws Lack from you, but you persist You are going to t;iko tlmt splinter put# eo you take tho child with a gentle bn*, firm grasp, for, although there may be jiain in it tho splinter must come out, And it is love fh;it flic faffit, pm) rufthes you persist. My irieiuis, I really think that nearly rJl cur sorrows in thh# world are only the liar.d of our Father pxfrj^tjTig popjo fhorn, If ;i!l Bor rows were sent by enemies, I would say, arm yourselves against them; and, as in tropical clinics, when a tiger comes down from tho mountain* anil carries off a child from tho village, tho neighbors band together and go into the forest and hunt the monster, so I would havo you, if I thought these misfortunes were sent by nn enemy, go out and Uml« ftgfdndt them. But no; tliey come from a Father so kind, so loving, fo gentle, that tho prophet, speaking of his tenderness and mercy, drops tho idea of a father# and says, “As ono wliotn his mother couifortHth, so will 1 comfort you.” Again I remark, there is comfort in tho thought that G«xl, by nil this proceed, is going to iJinho you useful. Do you know tliat those who accomplish the most for God and heaven have all been under tho liamm? Show me a man that has done anything for Christ in this day, in u public or private place, who has had 110 trouble and whose path has been smooth. Ah, no. I once went through an ax factory, an»l I saw them take the bars of iron nml thrust them into the terrible furnaces. Then besweated workmen with long tongs stirred the blazo. Then they brought out a lor of iron and put it into a crushing machine, and then they put it between jaws that bit it in twain. Then they put it on an anvil, and there were great hammers swung by ma chinery—each ono a half ton in weight—tliat went thump 1 tlmmp! thump! If that iron could have spoken it would have said, “Why all this Luting? Why must I lie IXHinded any more than any other iron?” The workmen would havo said: “Wo want to uiako axes out of you. keen, sharp 0X1*3—axes with which to hew down the forest, and build the ship, and erect houses, nnd carry ou a thousand enterprises of civilization. Tliat's tho reason we i>ound you.” - Now, God puts a Foul into the furnace of trial, and then it is brought out anil run through tlie crushing machine, and theii it comes down on the anvil, and upon it blow after blow, blow after blow, and the soul cries out, “O Lnnl.wh.it does all this mean?’’ God hays, “I want to make something very* useful out of you. You shall bo something to hew with and something to build with. It is a practical process through which I am putting you.” Yes, my Christian friends, wo want more tools in tlie church of God. Not more wedges to split with; we have enough of these. Not more bores with which to drill;, wo have too many borea. Wluu we really want is keen, sharp, well tempered axes, and if there be any other way of making them than iu tlie hot furnace, and on the hard anvil, and under tho heavy hammer, I do not know what it is. Remember that if God brings any kind of chastisement upon you, it is only to make you useful. Do not sit down discouraged, and say, “I have no more reason for living* I wi&h 1 were dead.’* Oh, there never was so n:uc!i rea-on for vour living as now 1 By this ordeal you have been con secrated .a priest of the Most High God. Go out and do your whole work for tho Master. Again, there is comfort in the thought that all our troubles are a revelation. Have you ever thought of it in that con nection? Tho man who lias never been through chastisement is ignorant about a thousand things in his toul he ought to know. For instance, here is a man who prides liituiclf on liis cheerfulness of cliaracter. He lias no patience with any body who is depressed in spirits. Oh, it is easy for him to lie cheerful, with his fi’ie house, his filled wardrobe and well strung instruments of music ami tapes tried iiarlor and plenty of money in the bank waiting for some permanent in vestment. It is easy for him to be cheer ful. But suppose his fortune goes to pieces and his house goes down under the sheriff’s hammer and the banks will not have anything to do with his paper. Suppose those pooplo who were once elegantly entertained at liis table get so short . sighted tliat they cannot recognize him upon the street. How then? Is it 60 easy to be cheerful? It is easy to be cheerful in the home, after the day’s $*ork is done, nnd the gas is turned on, and tho house is full of romping littlo ones. But suppose the piano is shut because the fingers tluif plaved on it will no more touch the ki vs. and tlie cliildish voice tliat asked s. many questions will ask no more. Then is it so easy? When a man wakes up and fiiids thathis resources are all gone, lie begins torjoel, aud ho says, “God Is haul, God is outrageous. He had no business to do this to mo.” My friends, those of us who have been through trouble know wliat a sinful and rc bellious heart we have, and Ivow much God has to put up with, and how much wo need pardon. It is only in the light of a flaming furnace tliat we can Lam our own weakness and our own lack of moral resource. There is also a great deal of comfort in the fact that there will lie a family re construction in a belter place. From Scotland, or England, or Ireland a child emigrates to this country. It is very hard porting, but ho coiucs, after a while writing homo as to what a good land it is. Another brother comes, a sister comes, and another, and afte^/i while tl* mother comes, and after Awhile the father comes, and now they are all here, and they havo a time of great congratu- .„,i m va**v pleasant reunion. is in a great fog. j •re, filled with r.n 1 Well, it id jnst so with our families: they aro emigrating t > a bef.fr laud. Now, one goes cut. Oh. how hard it is to part wi:h him!'Another gx&. Oh, bow hard it is to y:\vt with her! And an other, and another, ami we ourselves will after a while go over, atid then wo will lit* together. Oh. wliat 11 retfmon! Do yen Iviievc that? “Yes,”you say. Ycu do net! Yon do not believe it as you believe other things. If you «'.:d. and with tin* some emphasis, why, it would take nine-toutlis of your trouble off your. heart. Tho fact heaven It L> away « : ■' . he: uncertain ami imJeilnite peculation. Tint 13 the kind of heaven tliat many of us dream alx-ut: T v.t it is the most tremcn-. dous fact in ;;!! the universe—this heaven of the Gospel. Our departed friends are not afloat. The residence in which you live L not real as the residence in which they stay. You are afloat, you who do not ki.ow in the morning wliat will hapjien before night. They are housed and cafe forever. Do not, there fore, pity your departed friends who havo died in Christ. They uo^iot tieed any of your pity. You might as well send a letter of condolence to Queen Victoria on her obscurity, or to the Rothschilds on their poverty, at to pity thoso who have won tho palm. Do not say of thoso who aro departed, “Poor child!” “Poor father!** “Poor mother!” They arc not poor. You aro poor—you whoso homes have been shat tered—not they. You do not dwell much with your families in this world. All day long y« 11 are off to business. Will it not be ple.car.t when you can be together ali the while? If you have liad j four children and one is gone, and .any- f body asks how many children you have, i do not be fo infidel ns to nay three. Say ' four—one in lieaven. Do not think that ! tho grave is unfriendly. Y« MEN OF NOTE. James R. Keene is said to bo almost a millionaire agaiu.
