Debt>
no man anything,” is a scrip*
>uml injunction, and like all other
script urn, it should be heeded by all.
lo be in debt is an unpleasant situa
bon, and disqualifies a man for all the
enjoyments of life. Debt has a bad
eftect upon the mind, the health and
the morals; and is a canker that is
continually destroying all our resour
ces of happiness. It has a bad effect {
socially, for who has not observed
that a kind of antagonism grows lip !
between debtors and creditors, no |
matter how pleasant their relations!
may have been before. If a man
owes bis best friend a sum, no matter
how small, and is unable to pay it,
while he knows that his friend is in I
need of the money, and expects it to i
be paid, he w 11 avoid a meeting with 1
that friend, when he feels at the same !
time, that such a meeting would be j
pleasant indeed, under other circum- j
stances; suspicion and coldness ensue,
and friendship is destroyed, and more!
especially is this the case wheu there !
is an effort made to collect what is j
due.
Debt is a thief which steals away man’s
substance while he sleeps, and ish is
enemy since it often destroys his peace
and quietude, aud entails poverty up
on his children.
Let it be avoided then as much as
possible. “Pay as you go” is a good
motto, aud can generally be practiced
if a little self-denial is used. Aud how
much better is such a course for all
concerned. How much better than to
be harrassed with duns, and baliffs,
and sheriffs, on the one hand, and to
be compelled to re sort to tin se means
on the other. It is better to have but
little of this world and to know that it
[a our own, then to stem to have
much, and dwell in fietiiious splendor.
Ai'otln r important reason for keeping
(•itt of debt is the unr rtaiuty of life.
.on honest man tlesires, when he Lutes
this wo:Id, to be even with it, for two
jeasons. The first is, ho does not
want to defraud his fellow-man by
leaving no means by which he can
secure what is due him ; and, in the
seeonel place, he tloes not elesire toe
effects which he leaves for the support
or ms niiuiij , w «/v »• -—— v i
their noeel is greatest. It is well for
eve ry man to “ set his house in order,’
and keep a fair and honest record be
tween himself, his fellow-man and his
Maker.

Who does not admire good, ohl fash
ioned integrity ? that kind we read of,
and which our fathers and grand-fath
ers used to talk about, and which we
sometimes hear of now; that kind of
integrity which existed in “old irgin
ny,” in Middle Georgia and “old South
Carolina,” a long time ago, before we
had any railroads, telegraphs, fast
towns, patent medicines, patent farm
ing tools, and patent humbugs, gener
ally. 0, we love to think of those old
fogy times, when people had more
common sense, more honesty, more
genuine friendship and hospitality,
and more true religiou! We love to
think of the simplicity of manners
which prevailed in those days, when
Male and Female Colleges were not so
common; when glass-windows were
confined mostly to the large cities;
when honest people were not ashamed
to live in log-houses; to wear nice,
home-spun clothes to meeting, and
did not think it an evidence of shreivd
vess to avoid the payments of their just
debts; (if thej happened to owe any
thing,) when men who had the reputa
tion of being “sharp and quick,” were
considered to be unmitigated rascals,
and were not honored, petted and
flattered by smaller villains, and plac
ed in positions where they could steal
from the public to their hearts’ content.
When young men went courting on
horse-back, and their sweet-hearts
rode on horse-back, too, sometimes,
<OJ shame!) behind the young men!
When courting was done in pl\iu old
English, according to Murray, aud
signs and symbols aud French were
wot considened necessary in order to
complete the affair; when nurses nursed
the babi.s, and babies didn’t nurse
their mothers; when children did not
say “mama” and * papa,” but father
and mother ; when boys and girls were
common, and were never called masters
and misses, except by negroes, (spare
me, oh, my county !) when people told
the truth because they were trained in
that vyay, aud didu’t know any better;
were honest because they were taught
that it was best to be so; and were
polite, and respectful, and kind, and
simple, and liberal, aud pious, and
just in their dealings, because such
things were in the fashion, and they
enjoy oil that way of doing ! Ah me!
I wish those old-fashioned times aud
manners could be repeated a little now
However, we do see, occasionally, a
■ specimen of the old type of integrity !
We all see old father Goodface sorne
' times, but he don’t often come to town.
When he does come he c< on busi
ness, anti he transacts business in a
manner satisfactory to himself and to
all concerned. He don't have much
town m ute, but be has a better article
and more of it, and everybody knows
it. He is so simple that he tells the
truth, is candid, and fair and honest,
and will have nothing to do with !
, those who are differently inclined,
lif he knows it. His sons are just like j
him “for all the world,” and we love
the whole sh-bang, except the girls,
aud wo respect them, though they
don’t wear false hair and Grecian
bends. We go to see the old man some
times, and enjoy such visits so much
that we wish we could take our whole
family, and stay theie all the time.

THU STATE HOAD INVESTI
GATION.
Auditor llotclikiN* In Bound
Over to Appear Before tlie Su
! perior C ourt.
All day yesterday was consumed in
the argument before Judge Butt, of
the case of the State against N. P.
Hotchkiss, former Auditor of the State
Road, and charged with cheating aud
defrauding the State out of a consider
able amount of money.
.The evidence entire was given in our
yesterday’s issue, and as we say, the
Court was occupied in hearing the ar
| guments.
Capt. E. P. How'ell and Col. Bleck
; ley made very able aud telling speech
es in L>< Rdf of tbt: piusrvutiio.., ..Lilt;
Gen. Gartrell and Barton Thrasher
were eloquent in the defence.
The discussion developed no new
points. It is evident that the biggt st
kind of tlieiving has been going on,
and that these preliminary trials are
merely breaking the ico as it were
f r a future div<,
The more tl e matter is stirred, the
louder it smells, and vve dare say that
before this investigation is over with,
men will be implicated in this far-fam
ed State robbery who were never sus
pected.
It has certainly thus far developed
the most flagrant and downright rob
bery ever perpetrated upou an honest
folk.
Men, whom everybody was willing
to believe were honest, and who were
far from even meddling with such a
thing as robbery has exposed, are prov
en to be rascals of the first water.
This is emphatically an instance
where thieves have fallen out, and we
are satisfied if honest folks don’t come
by their dues in the matter that the}
will see how a great many men, who
have heretofore passed as honest and
respectable, have been guilty of the
worst kind of thieving.
The further the investigation pro
ceeds the deeper we can see into the
villainy of this State Road business:
and vve predict that when these old
thieves and cheats are forced into day
light that they will bring to the sur
face with them a host of minor culprits
whom the world knows nothing of at
present, but whose appearance will
cause just indignation among the more
honest aud respestable portion of the
people whom they have thus flagrant
ly ana systematically robbed.
Auditor Hotchkiss was first allowed
bail iu the sum of $6,000, but as this
seemed to be too large it was reduced
to $2,000, with the verbal understand
ing that he would be immediately ar
rested upon another an and similar
charge.
The latter arrest was made, and the
Auditor, waiving all examination, was
bound over iu a similar sum to appear
at the Superior Court at this October
Term. — At. Sun.

in our business, vve will sell our pres

The rise or Crime.
I . *
This is, most assuredly, the age of
crime, for one can scarcely tako up a
paper, printed North or South, but
what you seo paraded in glaring cap
itals, somebody shot, somebody stab
bed, somebody beat to death, some
body clubbed, somebody poisoned,
somebody suckled, by strychine, arsen
ic, prussic acid or some other subtle
poison, which forces the conclusion
that this is thebegiuoing of the season
spoken of in the good book, that Satan
should be loosed for a thousand yeais.
ft may suit the tastes of some to see
and read these startling accounts—
made more hideous by the language
employed in reciting them—but to our
mind it displays a most vitiated senti
ment, and reflects little credit on the
press of the country that ponders to
such a depraved state of affairs. In
fact, we charge upon the press of the
country that it is largely, if not oraiulv
instrumental in bringing about this
state of things, by constantly parading
the most harrowing and sickening de
tails of crime iu its columns.
It so familiarizes the public eye to
these tilings, that it seems people
sometimes commit crime for the no
toriety it gives them. Another thing
that helps it on is the number of re
volvers of all kinds, shapes, sizes and
makes with which the country is flood
ed. A man is not a man unless he
carries a pistol, and the slightest insult
is often avenged in the most summary
manner. So common, indeed, has
this practice of carrying pistols become
that it has extended itself to the ne
gro, who, though he has not a shoe to
his foot, a shirt or a coat to his dusky
hide, is not a negro unless he imitates
the white man and also carries a pis
tol in his pocket to avenge real or
supposed injuries. This has all grown
up since the war. Previous to that
time murders were of rare occurrence,
and generally filled the country with
horror. Blood, blood—nothing but
heart's blood seems now to satisfy re-
venge. Who are these that demand
vengeance? God’s creatures, made in
the express image of His person, to
whom He has said, in characters of
living light, “Vengeance is miue—l
will repay!” Then, if it pertains ex
clusively to God, the Creator, to take
vengeance, what right have His puny
creatuies to take the life of one an
otn< r? or assume to be both judge and
executioner, ia taking what they can
not restore, the lives of their fellow
beings? This is a most lamentable
ConUlll >LI UT Uilu.il o, uiid tiro X'oiuodj'
for it is r.otalo. ein the hands of the
moral pi e. sand people. The venal
and corrupt pitss should be severely
censured for familiarizing the people’s
mind to crime by publishing its hor
rible details; for
‘•Vico is a monster of such frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with its face.
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
Tile moral people of every commu
nity should frown down every attempt
made by these presses to corrupt the
public mind, and every State Legisla
ture, as well as the Congress of the
United States, should p iss the most
stringent laws againt the carrying 01
concealed weapons, and the officers,
charged with the execution of these
luv>s iguominiously driven from power
who fail to attend strictly to all that
the law requires in this respect. Make
npenal to carry a concealed weapon
as well as to use it, and let the viola
tors of the law in each case be made to
feel its full force and effect. It is the
only way to bring back a healthy state
of public sentiment, and the sooner
the corrections are applied the belter.
We see the country now in the most
unsettled condition, with its morals
almost completely ruined and if the
vengeance of Heaven does not fall up
on us with crushing weight, it is not
because we do not richly merit it. for
things certainly looked as if the Devil
had taken possession of the people,
and the people had capitulated to bib
Satanic Mejesty Unconditionally. We
shall recur tothis subject again.—
