BILL ARP’S LETTER.
The People of Georgia, are Growing
Richer Every Day
At Least, that Is vrliat t|to Comptroller
General’s llooks show.
Getting richer ami richer. I am not. but
poinebooy in. ’J ho state is, if the comptroller's
rt port in to bo bollcved, Tilts report ih a book
of 400 pages, and i« full of fuota and figures
that interest every citizen. 1 don’t boo how
Mr. Wright ever crammed It with bo many
tables and statistics. It never ocenred to mo
tlmt it was such a big thing to run tho govern
ment of Georgia, Wo havtPboen getting rich
er i n 1 richer evory year; Wo talk about hard
timiHuml everybody <’( inphiinn. but tho tux
hooks t-how a regular itioreaa • of taxable prop
el ty evory year. It wan doubled in twelvo years-
In 18,SO it wan about $250,f'00,000, and now it
’« $500,000.000. Wo have boon saying that
c rich wot w _
poorer, hut tho* tax took*
way. Of course tho rich gut richer, butthoy
don’t got nil theincrom-o, v The farming lmds
have incrcnstd fr«m $90,000,000 to $187,000,-
000: farm implements, from $3,000,000 to
$0,000,000; household furniture,from $9,000,-
(’•00 lo $ 10.000,000. This iH H-good sign, when
a former buys bettor tools tMd impiomonta to
ftum with r.nd both r funjj/Xio for his house
he is prospering, t viirvcr^tT H bureau or a
bedstead going out of town-but what I rejoice
with tho good wife and daughters whoso great,
comfort is in adorning tftwr homo with tho
com forts and luxuries of Ur. Another good
s gn of general prosperity is tho inorenso of
manufactures. '1 ho oapiml in cotton milld
alone his inorensed from $1,010,000 to $11,-
00'*,000. They give emp oynu til to over 10,000
operatives and manefaefcureannually 138,000
bales of cotton and increase its value over $4 -
000,000.
Of eourso tho largest increase is In city prop
erty and banking capital and railroads, tho lask
named having grown from $9,000,000 to $4 V
000,000. But tlio farmer uiid not he onvious
of those who invest in theso things. Morohants
fail, banks suapend and rtijlroads go into re
ceiver’s hands. Tho lurgor tho venluro tho
greater tho risk and there is no invostment bo
solid and scouro as a good farm with a good
farmer and his family living on it. Forages
tho comforts and happiness of rural lifo have
been tho themes of poets anl philosophers. In
times like theB *, whon busineBs is stagnant and
big entorprlson aro crushing to insolvency and
thousands of workmon aro thrown out of em
ployment. tho farmer alone tu Bafo. Ho dopoiuls
upon his Maker for 8im?hino and for rain and
upon his land to r< ward his labor. Ho isro-
moto from tho temp!ationHof«Hocioty. Hissons
aro not in jail nor hi* daughters smlrohod with
scandal. Indeed, if ho will oomparo his inde-
pondenco and comfort with tho rich who dwell
in tho cities ho will find Alio balance sheet
largely in his favor.
This is especially so now, sinco a fair
education has been provided for his children.
In no department of progress he a Ihoro been
a greater mlvanco than in providing tho
moans and facilities for educating tho chil
dren of tho Htato. Ton yours ago tho fund was
only a quarter of a million of dollars, which
gave but about two months’ rohooling to each
pupil, Now It has reached $L 100,000 for tho
common schools and then© miv** an army of
7 500* tcaohopfl. Verily tho fajhool urns ter is
abroad in tho land, and ho If. beooft^ng a ilSl,iyer
lot* good. Five months’ schooling is now pro
vided for, and tuo illitern<?yS>f Georgia will not
much longer bo a stigma upon her pooplo-
Tho poor should bo thankful to tho rich for
those privileges, for tho money that pays tho
teachers comes from those who havo property
to ho laxod.
Then wlmt havo wo, tho people, to oomplaiu
of ? It is true that tho timetf are hard—hard on
thoso who owo mnnoy, for tho hanks have
locked their money vaults and quit lending.
Tboy nro waiting on confidiuioo and confidence
is a plant of slow growth. It will tako another
crop to make things ea y. /Only two or three
months to worry. Tho wheat crop of North
Georgia is being harvested and will soon bo in
market, and that will bring somo relief. Corn
and oatn aro promising, and {cotton is not so
very bad. Bo tako things all In all and our
stiUo is in good condition. There is nobody
Hull'ering and no epidemic orMspntagion. Out
side of tho cities thoro is butTittlo crime. In
deed, tin re is no state in tho [union that ha* so
small a p’.roi nt»gc of white, convicts in their
prisons. Our whito population has doubled sinco
I860, hut tho number of convicts for
felonies havo not inoreanul. For soveral
years in. the last decade thoro was not a
whito f« male convloq and thoro are but
two now. If wo could, only do something to
stop tho negroes from committing crime we
would havo a commonwealth, to bn proud of.
But they got worse instead of hotter. Con
victs increase fastor pro rata than population.
Now what wo most, nood politically is poaco
and goo 1 will, and I reckon that will come as
soon as tho wrangling over tho public offices is
over. I believe that tho people of tho north
nro getting kinder--just a little kinder—sinco
Honutor Ingalls bus pronounced tho negro a
dead factor in politics. Wo boo some other
signs. When Mrs. Grunt and Mrs. Davis can
meet togetlu r socially and sympathize with
each oth* r in their widowhood, it looks like
o'her people might muko friends. What an
impressive sight it would bo. to boo tho^o old-
time southern Wom?n talking lovingly together
about the grand old days bofnro tho war and
ti lling anecdotes about their family slaves
that they used to own. They can hobnob to
gether first rate, for old nnui D nt was a Jack-
sou democrat and one of his hoys fought in
Mexico side by side with Mr. Davis and General
Grant and owned about ns ffiany slaves ns Mr.
Davis did. The only difference was ho hired
hi* out until Lincoln set t:iern free, hut Mr.
Davis kept bis on tho farm.
Wo will straighten all thoso things out by
bv degrees, hut wo must ho patient—“The
mills of tho gods grind slow. "—Bill Abi*, in
A lauta Constitu’iou.
INSURANCE MEN WITHDRAW
In Consequence of Tennessee's Objec-
lioimble Laws.
The insurance conference ro-assem-
blcil at Nashville, Friday to discuss
thb situation in the state of Tennessee
in regard to objectionable laws enact
ed by the last legislature. A commit
tee called on the governor and I10 prom
ised to take tho matter of calling
an extra session of tho legislature un
der advisement but said that, pending
this tho companies would havo to com
ply with the law or boar the penalties.
The insurance conference then
adopted the report of a special com
mittee declaring it to lie the duty of
the representatives here assembled to
adviae all companies doing business
in tho stato to at once suspend opera
tion in Tennessee until such time as
the objectionable laws are repealed or
so modified that tho companies can re :
new business with safety.
SEVERAL COMPANIES WITHDRAW.
The following insurance campanies
hav« withdrawn from the state, because
of the law requiring thorn to filo their
charters: American, Central, Ori
ent, Glen Falls, New Hampshire, Con
tinental and Georgia Home. They
feared they would become liable to
taxation on their ca})ital stock.

cnis of Interest Gathered at
A petition is hoing circulated to os-
t,oldish a daily mail betwcon Canton

Two postnOlees worn established in
Oeorgia Wednesday, at Bridgetown,
Coffee comity ; and at Broughtonville,
Morgan county.
Yonablo Bros., of Atlanta, bought
at pur the $182,000 of 4 por cent
bonds issued by that city for water
works purposes.
The next, quarterly mooting of tho
Morgan county alliance will meet with
tho Mallory sub-alliance, at Mallory
Chapel, on July 11th.
A breach of promiso suit in Goffoo
county ended by tho defendant marry
ing the prosecutor. Ho did so in or
der to save tho costs.
It has boon suggested by some who
were members of tlursamo during tho
lute war that tho Fourteenth and For
ty-fifth Georgia regiments have a re
union during this summer.
The Northwestern Life Insurance
Company Iuih paid over to Mrs. Jo
seph Pettyjohn, of Augusta, $7,000
tho amount of the policy hold by Mr.
Pettyjohn in that company.
B. F. Thompson, of Mosona, thinks
he has an iron mine on his plantation
near that town. J t has been estimated
by those competent to judge that this
mine contains nt least 60 per cent, of
iron.
In the snporior court at Macon a
few days ngo Oscar Golden obtained
a verdict of $3,200 against the Central
railroad for damages. A passenger
train ran over him and cut his leg off
while ho was walking along tho track
in Vinovillo.
James F. O’Neill was elected to tho
legislature from Fulton county by a
vote of 317, to fill tho unexpired term
of Hon. iliirvoy Johnson, who resigned
to accept the Antwerp consulship, Mr.
O'Neil Imd no opposition. Ho served
a term in the houso four years ago.
The Montezuma Variety Works lias
been sold at publio outcry and bought
by Mr. J. 13. DoVaughn for $1,406.
Tho property belonged to tho Monte
zuma Investment Company and 1ms
been closed and lying idle for several
months owing to tho failure to make it
i>“y-
Mrs. J. W. Wooten, of Dawson, lias
a letter from her uncle J. 11. Parker,
who was a member of tho Celebrated
Palmetto B. O. regiment, written at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1847. It is
well preserved and Aided without en
velope in tho old style of 60 years ago.
The rate of postage upon it is marked
10 cents.
An attempt will probably be made
at. an early day to revive tho project
of building a canal from a point up tho
Ocmulgeo river to tho city of Macon,
The canal will bo about three miles
long, and it is estimated will eoH,t
$260,000. An abundance of water
power will then lie furnished to run
factories, nnilco electric power, etc.
Tho Central railroad scorns to he in
no hurry about paying out money for
any purpose. It does not even pay
its taxes, Tho road is due tho city of
Macon $8,000 for taxes, and although
an order of court lias been granted
directing tlmt tho taxes be paid, pay
ment has not yet been made. Many
of tlio employes at Macon are still
looking for their May wages.
In order to increase tho revenue of
tho city treasury tho Atlanta council
passed an ordinance raising tlio street
tax from one dollar to tlwee dollars
per capita. A vigorous kick immedi
ately followed this action and Mayor
Goodwin promptly vetoed the meas
ure, handling the city fathers in pert
fashion for their efforts to impose wlmt
he considered an unjust tax.
Tlio report from Louisville tlmt
Judge Roger L. Cambio would movu
to Atlanta at tho expiration of his
present term is unfounded. His
friends do not know how itoriginuted,
but there is no truth in it. Judge
Cambio will continue to make, as bo
1ms done in the past, one of the best
citizens of Jefferson county, and one
of tho best judges in Georgia.
At, a meeting of tlio directors iff tlio
Lowry Banking Company, at, Atlanta,
a Bomi-nnnunl dividend of I poj cent
wns. declared, payable on tho Kith of
July. This is a very gratifying show
ing, particularly after the stringency
of business generally for tho last few
months. Tho hank was organized in
1889, and since then it 1ms paid out
$132,000 in dividends and has accumu
lated a surplus fund of over $100,000.
Every indication points to the com
plete collapse of tho plans to reopen
the broken Brunswick state banks. It,
is evident that a gigantic game of bluff
lms been worked on tho depositors,
stockholders and directors. The bank
has been wrecked by oflleers on the in
side, tint tlio only charge brought by
the people against Vico President Oro-
vatt and the directors is that of crimi
nal nogligonco in not being posted on
inside affairs.
Delegates from tho various councils
in Georgia of the order of the National
Union met in Macon a few days ago
and formed a state assembly. H. H.
CabanisH, of Atlanta, was elected pres
ident; F. K. Johnson, Columbus, sec
retary. The executive oommittee is
composed of H. Weisgor, of Augusta;
W. A. Davis, of Macon; W. F. Ed
monson, of Romo; B. S. Collins, of
Macon ; and James Smith, of Colum
bus. President Oabaniss wns elected
senator to tlio general somite of tho
order which meets in Detroit, Mich.,
July 7th.
Tlio board of education of Bibb
county has ordered tlio schools to be
gin the first Monday in October, 1892,
and close tho last Friday in June,
1893. Formerly tho school term com
menced September 16th, and closed
Juno 16th, hut tlio hoard changed
from these dates, thinking that it
would he healthier for tho schools to
begin school on tho first Monday in
October instead of September 16th.
There is an opinion with many, how
ever, thnt it would bo better for tho
term to begin September 16tli and
close Juno 16th.
A decision by tho state railroad com
mission in tlio appeal of tlio roads of
Georgia for a 26 per cent advance on
rates, will lie made before long. Tlio
commissioners havo been going over
tho arguments presented by tho traffic
men and the tariff sheets, and it has
about completed the work of revising
tho tariff. It is loarned tlmt tin; read
justment will bring u general increase,
but nothing like what was asked.
Something will bo conceded. There
are seventy-two railroads in tlio state,
and t he work lias necessarily been de
layed. Tlio commission lias referred
the matter of estimated weights on
lumber back to tlio lumbermen and
railroad men for them to agree on a
complete list of estimates.
A very unusual case was tried a few
days ago before Judge Gaston at At
lanta. Parson Barrett, a preacher of
note among tho mountains of north
Georgia, wiih arrested on tho charge of
running' an illicit distillery. It ap
pears that from tlio cvidonco before
tlio commissioner that Parson Barrett
was tlio spiritual adviser of three
churches. He went from one to the
other ns the preachers usually do in
the country, where the congregations
nro too small and poor to support
a preacher entirely. His spiritual
appetite, however, was strongly pre
disposed in favor of corn, and in ad
dition to tlio service of his flocks, ho
employed his leisure time in tlio oper
ation of a little distillery, which sup
plied him with as much moonshine ns
lie desired. When tlio officers went
to arrest him Just week they found
him engaged in carrying on his
religious devotions. They rever
ently abstained from interfering with
the good brother until ho had fulfilled
all iiis appointments, when tiioy nab
bed him and carried him to Atlanta.
Tlio evidence against him was rather
damaging and lie was bound over to
appear at tlio fail term of the federal
court.

ent. indications tho heat of the huh will
bo intolerable, and tlio perspiration
will stream in large drops from tlio
hatbands of thoBO who are exposed to
it. Mr. 0. B. Gorgas, of tho state
weather huroau, has compiled a state
ment showing tho temperature of tho
weather for tho last, fourteen years,
during tho month of July, and from
this statement tho temporaturo of tho
weather for this month can bo approx
imated. Tlio mean temperature for
tho month of July, during that
length of time, .was 78 degrees. The
warmest July wiih that of 1881, with
an average temperature of 81
degrees ; the coldest was that of 1882,
with an average of 75 degrees. Tho

of July was 100 degrees on the 19th of
July, 1887. The lowest temperature
during any July was 58 degrees on the
6th of July, i882, and tile lfith of
July, 1886. Tlio average ruitUiill for
the fourteen yours was 4.64 inches.
The greatest monthly rainfall was 14.11
inches in 1887. Tho least was .56 in
1HH1. The greatest amount of rain in
any twenty-four hours was 3.61 inches

cloiuly 15 and cloudy 8. Tho lire vail
ing winds were from the west. Tho
highest velocity of tho wind during

Dimsrnoi'o asserts that health is man’s
birthright. It is as natural to Do well
us to be born. All pathological condi
tions, all diseases and nil tendencies to
disease are tlio result of the transgression
of physiologic and hygienic law. This
is the science of health in a. nutshell as
set forth by the writer in question. Tho
doctor assumes that u tendency toward
abounding health and vigor is insepara
ble from life and that as soon as the con
ditions natural to the organism aro
restored a movement toward health is
certain to follow, lie defines the law
of cure as the unfailing tendency on
tlm part of tho organism toward
health. Tlio main requisite for health
growth, to quote from Dr. Dcusmoro—
after the required temperature, light and
air—“is nutrition; lienee u breakdown in
health is caused more by errors in diet
than all other causes put together. Er
rors in diet nro divided into two goncral
classes: 1, Tho use of food unsuited to
tlio organism. 2. Tho partaking of food
in quantities greatly in oxcess of tho
system.’’ On experiences and reasonings
connected with these fundamentals rest
the conclusion against the use of starchy
foods. It is further shewn that the
natural average period of human life is at
hiii^t 100 yours, which is abbreviated to
the present short nvorngo span by
ignorant or reckless transgressions of the
laws of nutrition and health.
