JULY 12, 1894.
Gov. Altgeld is a fraud with an
archist emhollishments.
Gov. Altirold may aflirm that the
state of Illinois is amply able to
take care of itself, hut it hasn’t been
“a-doin.” it all the same.
The times are surely not going to
be made any less hard than they
are by the continuation of the con
dition of things now prevailing in
the west.
Coxey and his march proved a
rather harmless little fake, com
pared to the movements of the
crowds that are locking the wheels
of commerce and destroying prop
erty in Chicago.

It is at this miasmatic season of
the year, says the Macon News, that
every strange bug passionately
yearns to explore your vertebra 1
along the lumbar regions and cas
ually hook his tail into your cuticle
as he looks around to ascertain if
he is monarch of all he surveys.
After sending telegrams to a
dozen relatives telling them that
he was dead a Brooklyn physician
suicided, lie did not disappoint
them. They knew of his death be
fore he knew it himself, too. This
reminds us of an old gentleman of
some wicked proclivities who, his
family receiving a letter saying it
was reported he was dead, essayed
to answer it himself and in his
reply made haste to say that ‘‘he
had heard the report himself but
know it was a d—n lie, as soon as
he had heard it,”
Since lions. Henry G. Turner, A.
O. Bacon, L. F. Garrard and Pat
Walsh haveall declared themselves
candidates for the senate, and the
two first named have made their
opening speeches, the tight is con
sidered fully on. It looks like Tur
ner and Bacon are to develop the
greatest strength in the opening,
with Garrard and Walsh at an en
couraging distance behind, but a
—n unally come in and
win. Crisp, Hammond, dulJignon,
and one or two others that might
be named are possibilities, in an
emergency that would encourage
the entering of a dark horse.
Of the undertaking in which Debs
is engaged, the New York World
says: “His course has been one of
insensate folly and reckless wicked
ness. Its result, whatever it may
be, must be lastingly hurtful to or
ganized labor, to all labor and to
the entire public. He has inaugu
rated the most unjustifiable of
strikes at the most inopportune
time imaginable. He has deliber
ately offended that public sympathy
without which no strike ever yet
achieved results advantageous to
labor or any other worty interest.
He has exploited Debs, and made
his own name notorious. But he
has accomplished this purpose of
petty vanity at fearful cost to the
organization he controls, to labor
generally and to the entire coun
try.”
THE QUESTION OF LOYALTY.
There is a distorted impression
afloat as to the right of a man to
quit work when and for what he
pleases says the Globe-Democrat,
touching upon the strike. In a
strictly legal sense, no man can be
forced to render service against his
will except under sentence of court
and in punishment for crime; hut
it is true at the same time that
every man who accepts service on
given terms thereby incurs an
obligation ot honor which forbids
him to quit that service without
due notice, or reasonable cause, and
regardless of the injury that may
follow to his employer or to others-
This applies with particular force
to railroad employes, whose occupa
tion is of a quasi-public order, and
whose faithfulness is of more im
portance than that of any other
ciass of laborers. The most radicai
advocate of the right to quit work
would hardly justify a switchman
in abandoning his post when a train
comes thundering down the track
and a disaster must eDsue if he
does not open a switch; any yet
this is only an extieme illustration
of the theory of the present strike.
Trains have been abruptly deserted
before reaching their destination,
leaving passengers helpless, and
causing great loss of perishable
freight; and in a general way the
operations of a dozen different rail
road lines have been practically
suspended because of the sudden
desertion of duty by their employes
in obedience to the mandate of
Debs and on the pretext ot supreme
fealty to the head of a labor organ
ization that has no legal authority
and no responsibility. This is not
loyalty, but a perversion and mock
ery of that splendid virtue. The
strikers are in the wrong from
every point of view; and in no
other one respect so much as that
of their false and pernicious attitude
upon the question of allegiance.
GROWTH IN THE SOUTH.
The south is certainly fortunate
in the mater of strikes and labor
troubles generally. While business
is at a standstill at a hundred diff
erent points in the north, the
wheels of industry and commerce
are running almost everywhere
south of Mason and Dixon’s line.
More new industrial establishments
have been set on foot within the
last three months in the south than
were started there in any other
quarter since 1892. The number
reported by the Manufacturers’
Record of Baltimore is 787, against
662 for the preceding quarter and
436 for the last quarter of 1893. This
record has been beaten only two or
three in the whole history of the
south.
Since the Ist of January 267 wood
working establishments alone have
been started in the south. These
are all new concerns, the invest
ments having all been made this
year. The amount of capital re
presented by them is not given, but
it must be well up in tHe millions.
These wood-working establish
ments are exclusive of furniture,
agricultral implement and wagon
and carriage factories set on foot
during the same period. Adding
these, the number would be in
creased from 267 to 300.
Arrangements have been made
for the erection of 22 new cotton
mills, 13 of them being credited to
last quarter. The list includes also
55 canning factories, 40 ice factories
21 electric light and power plants,
59 waterworks, hrick works, 50
oWpa and foundries, a
stove works, 21 miscellaneous iron
and steel works, 4S flour mills, 11
cottonseed oil works, 6 gas works
and 5 cotton compreses. The mines
and quarries opened thisyear num
ber 137. There has been an increase
from every quarter in almost every
branehof business here named since
the panic last summer.
INTOLERABLE TO LABOR.
The following from the St. Louis
Repubublic, a democratic paper
that has been noted as a friend of
the working people, develops the
points of the strike neatly: “The
Debs idea was to make a strike
which would be intolerable. It is
succeeding, but public opinion has
not been turned in the expected
direction.
“Americans willl sacrifice much
that labor may obtain its due.
They will also sacrifice much to
discourage men like Martin Irons
and Debs.
“The strike is becoming intolera
ble and first to the laboring and
producing classes. Employment is
falling off, scarcity is raising prices
and reducing household comforts
and farmers are losing their mar
ketable products.
“Baron Pullman is at Long
Branch and workingmen are using
up their savings bank supplies.
“This ill-calculated boycott can
not last much longer. It it could,
there would be an intolerable situa
tion for nearly all wage-earners.
There would be nothing for them
to do and high prices for the neces
saries of life.
“Debs has few apologists among
laboring men or business men.
Cruel as war is the commander who
uselessly destroys industry and
stops trade is condemed and often
punished by his own government.
Debs is fast attaining the unenvia
ble position of being regarded as a
public enemy by nine-tenths of his
fellow-countrymen.”

THE FOURTH.
How it Was Spent Pleasantly by
Some Local Picnickers.
A VERY PICTURESQUE RIDE
Up the Beautiful Etowah, Where Nature’s
Beauties Smile on Every Side—An Occa
sion Lone to be Remembered.
The 4th of July was a glorious
fourth—that is, it was to a party of
picnickers. Last Wednesday was
an ideal day—ideal in its beauty,
most ideal in its events. The party
was small: M rs. Mitchell, of Thom
asville, Ga.; Miss Susie Mit’heil, of
Thomasville,Ga.; Miss Lula White,
of Montezuma, Ga.; Miss Mary
Graves, of Atlanta; Miss Frank
White, the Misses Norris, Mr. and
Mrs. R. A. Clayton and Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Howard, all from the
west end of our little city. The
carriages were choice and ample,
the drivers careful and obliging,
the horses fresh and strong.
Jones’ mills, beyond Rowland
Springs, was too pretty to be pass
ed by. Stopping in its neighbor
hood we spent several hours, wan
dering along the banks of Stamp
creek, climbing about among rocky
heights, “swinging in the grape
vine swing,” and looking with un
failing delight at the beautiful fall
of water, the Tallalulah of Bartow
county. Bye and bye, something
else caught our eye. Down in the
shade an ample cloth was spread
and its snowy surface quickly orna
mented with viands of most tempt
ing description. Everything was
there, and everything was good.
We also were soon there, end were
happy as well as good.
We had our wood nymph, too, a
most hospitable little girl of ten,,
who gave us all a cordial invitation
to share her dinner ot snap beans
and apple pies, reappearing after
dinner with a full bucket of big
luscious blackberries. She acquaint
ed us with many new and startling
facts lying outside the experience
and the lore of city folks. She
showed that she understood human
nature, and refused the invidious
request to point out the prettiest
lady present. She retained ten
friends when she might have made
nine enemies.
Half-past three found us on our
upward way, and for miles togeth
er, oblivious of girl and dinner and
one another, we were rapt in vis
ion of the grandest scenery this
tihlck n i inntii.tolii, Ill(h and
peaks of every shade of blue were
on the one side, picturesque little
Stamp creek with its turns and
t vista,its rocks and beautiful banks,
was on the other. Mile after mile
we rode through scenery, ever va
rying and always enchanting, till a
sudden turn brought into view our
own familiar Etowah, and we
found ourselves on the famous old
river road. Grander than ever it
seemed to us. The trees were green
er, the hills were bluer, the waters
were brighter, the rocks were)
gloomier,the ruins were more weird
and more grotesque.
We are at home now. Several
days have skipped in and passed
on since that memorable Wednes
day, but the pleasures of the picnic
“fourth” still tingle in our expe
rience and will linger long and
sweetly in the memory of the cho
sen twelve. E. L. N.
The readers of of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is that dreaded disease, Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in

and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by budding up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

its curative powers, that they otter One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of Testimon

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gnn
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: “I
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the re
sults w 3re almost mavelous m the case
of my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox
ysms of coughing would last hours with
little interruption and it seemed as if
she could not survive them. A Friend
recommended Dr. King’s New Discov
er; it was quick in its work and highly
satisfactory in results.” Trial bottles
