The prices of naval stores and and lumber are so low and the de mand so limited that possibly more than half of the saw mills are shut down and the naval stores manufacturers are only running on about half time. This lets out of emplo3’ment a large number of negroes of the very worst class in the south. Living a life of seclu sion, in the woods, in small shan ties. away from the influences of civilization, they grow hardened, d ‘speratelv wicked and brutish. A large number of this class are turned loose upon South-west Georgia without provisions or mone3’. They area menace to our homes, our families and our happiness and may give us much trouble yet. This class has already filled our jails and court dockets. ' ’ Superior Court.

Not far away four dusky sons of Ham nightly joined in revery a id the playing of “crap.” Ever and anon they would hear this vigilant rooster ring out 111 clarion notes, “You’d-better-go-to bed!” or “The—marshal’s-after you-u !” changing toward the break of day to, “Put-up-dem-cards-s lt’s-almost day-y!” Night after night this tantalization went on while the fire burned dimly upon the hearth and the pot stood still and empty in the corner. They could stand it no longer. The pot was put on the lire to boil while one mended the lire, one watched “de do” and two slipped out into the still darkness. ’Twas not long before that rooster’s voice was heard no more, a slight flut tering came from under the old box that had been used for a scat then all was still A head with a bunch of feathers fell under the house through a hole made by r an uplifted plank, while the pot sim mered and sputtered upon the fire. No sound broke the auspicious si lence. hut presently the 6mell of chicken and dumplings began to creep about the room. Four pair of eyes opened while four mouths began to water. Not long and all that was mortal of this once faith ful rooster was laid away (out o’ sight.) After realizing the awfulness of the deed they came to Vienna with the Sheriff and telling Judge Whip- p’e of their good fortune he gave them a letter of introduction and free passes to the “gang” where they now are safe from the tempta tions of disturbing roosters. features, my eye are large and protruding—one ias a “catch me if you can” wink-“while the other has a vacant stare;color slightly mixed.

A GOD- A Great Lesson of Economy and Self- Denial Has Been Taught. “I would like to see cotton stay low and meat high for two years more,” said a thinking man in our hearing the other daj’. That at first 60unded like a strange remark for one we knew to have the interests of his section at heart, but second thought told us that it was not. The low price of cotton last winter and the high prees for supplies during this year has been a God-send to the farm ers of the South. It has forced them to learn lessons which would never have been otherwise impress ed upon them. Although they have well begun the lessons, they have not had them altogether suf ficiently impressed upon them as for t.iem to dismiss their tutors. The first great lesson that has been taught has been the ruin in the all-cotton S3 r stem of farming. We li -rs been made to plainly see the benefits of diversifying our crops and of making our farmes self-sustaining, and with a little more tutoring on this line we will be thoroughly convinced that in times even when cotton is high and supplies low, or at least when prices prevail that ruled several 3’ears ago, it is better for us to The shortage in our reading matter this week is due to the shortage in the printer’s health.

A newspaper is just as much a private business for the purpose of making a living tor its publish ers as a grocery 6tore or a carpcn ter’s shop. Yet it is expected to boom the town, and be everlasting at it; boom! the churches, boom! the colleges; boom the climate; publish obituaries for all the se cret societies and for everyone else who wants to pay tribute to de ceased.
