Capt, James B. Fades, the gieat civil
engineer who constructed the jettie be
low New Orleans, and promoted the
scheme for a ship railroad across the
Isthmus of Panama, died at Nassau on
the Bth instant. Capt. Fades was one of
the m<>st distinguished of American en
gtneers, and was constantly engaged
in some great work like the spleudid
bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis,
the jettie at the mouth of that river, or,
the tremendous undertaking of a ship
railway across the Isthmus, which, for
the past live years, bus occupied most of
bis time.
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the anarchist’s
wile, turns up In prison. She secured an
armory at Columbus, Ohio, the other day
to speak in, hut when it was learned who
the speaker was to be, the armory was
refused. At this Mrs. Parsons grew furi
ous and insisted that she would speak in
the armory, threatening to smash the door
if necessary to gain admittance. She was
very properly placed under arrest for dis
orderly conduct, and telegraphed to her
husband that she had been arrested to
prevent her speaking, thus passing as a
martyr to the cause of free speech. The
right of free speech seems to ;be about as
safe us ever it was, but if this Mrs. Par
sons and her kin and kind had their way,
the right of the people to exercise owner
ship and control over, their property
would not be free, nor the property safe.
The Legislature of Missouri, has decid
ed that it does not want any militia if a
militia costs anything. All the militia
regiments in the State, five in number,
have decided if their services are not
worth the $50,000 asked for to maintain
equipments and armories they are
worth nothing, and have disbanded. This
leaves the state absolutely defenseless
against mobs and riots if mobs and riots
should occur. As they have occurred in
the past, when there was a millitia, it is
reasonable to suppose that they will be
greatly increased by the absence of any
military force at all. A single riot would
likely cost the state of Missouri ten times
the $50,000 demanded, as the price of
maintaining the organizations. There is
a kind of economy which is worse than
the greatest extravagance, and the
penurious Missouri legislature seems to
have exercised first that particular kind
of economy in the nature of militia.
A BROOM FACTORY.
For the amount of money invested it is
stated from everyday experience, that a
broom factory pays the handsomest divi
dends than any of the small industries.
The amount necessary to establish and
put one in operation is scarcely any
and the amount of good healthy profitable
employment is simply astonishing.
From Mr. Stoketey, of Acworth, who was
in Cartersville one day last week, selling
the product of his factory, we learn that
the machinery necessary to fit up his es
tablishment did not cost five hundred
dollars! llis factory employs several
men who get good wages, and a drummer
is kept on the road nearly all the time and
finds no trouble in keeping orders ahead
of the factory’s capacity.
It seems to us that such an institution
could do well here. It is true it may seem
smaller than a steel plant or a rolling mill,
but it employs labor and pays handsome
wages. The owner comes in for a most
handsome profit on his investment. It is
the small industries that build up a com
munity, and we hope to see some of our
capitalists put the ball of progress in
motion by etablishing a broom factory in
Cartersville.
To the farmers of Bartow w will say
that broom corn grows to perfection in
this county. We saw some in our depot,
being shipped to the Acworth factory, that
was raised by Mr. Henry Stiles, which
good. There was money in planting broom
corn, even if it has got to be shipped off
to the factories. It will grow well in
Bartow county beyond doubt.
A farmer at Mayesville, S. C., asks the
Southern Cultivator the following
questions and received the following
answers relative to the questions:
1. The kind of land; how to manure,
when to plant, and how to cultivate?
2. How to prepare for market, and
where is there a good market?
3. llow much seed to plant on acre?
Answer. —1. Good corn land, plant and
cultivate like sorghum, leaving one stalk
in hills a foot apart; any manure good
for com will answer.
2. As soon as the plant is in full b’oom
cut the heads off, leaving about six inches
of stalk attached, and cure in shade, on
racks, having the layers not over three or
four inches thick. Lay the heads smooth
and straight on the racks, and if the
weather is not favorable open and replace
the layers from time to time to facilitate
the curing. After it is cured put up in
small bales like hay, having care that the
brush does not become tangled. Broom
factories are springing up all over the
country and opening markets for the
brush.
3. About a half bushel of seed will be
required io plant an acre. It is better to
use an abundance, because the seed do not
always germinate well.

TIIE CLAIMS OF MEXICAN VET
ERANS.
The Atlanta Constitution states that it
has news from Washington that it may
be two years before the names of Mexi
can veterans can be placed upon the
pension rolls. Immediately after the
passage of the bill, Commissioner Black
asfeed Congress for an appropriation
sufficient to employ several hundred
clerks, for a period of five mouths, to ex
amine and report upon tho Mexican pen
sion claims.
This force was intended exclusively
to work upon these claims, and would
have formed a separate division in the
peusiou bureau. The money wus to be
appropriated in the deficiency bill,
which, it will be remembered, failed to
receive the President’s signature, aud of
course did not become a law. In conse
quence of that fact Mexican peusiou ap
plications, instead of being expediter!
as faat as that number of clerks could
perform the work, will be compelled to
tune their place iu the regular order of
business, 2nd can not be reached uutil
the great volume of ether claims now
ahead of them can be acted upou. This
is a great misfortune to these froety
huired veterans, many of whom are iu
actual need of the pittance allowed them
by the Fill just passed. The bill in itself
is too illiberal in its provisions, now, and
for the aged beneficiaries under it, to be
forced to wait two years before they cau
enjoy the benefits that should accrue to
them at once, does not seem right. The
government has delayed too long already
to reward the heroes of this war, who
did their country such noble, brave and
patriotic service.
This Announcement however, should not
delay applicants iu filiug their claims
as their pensions only dates from
the filiug of the application and proof of
service. The sooner it is filed the earlier
it will come in its order to be acted upou.
JL b blend id imtro vement.
This may almost be called the day of
railroad acoideuts. Scarcely a week
passes without its record of horrors ou
some railroad. The onuses are various.
Among them we sometimes find the de
fective orosstie, the spreading rail, etc.
A late patent by a former Georgian, now
a citizen of Chattanooga, seems designed
and adapted to remedy some of these de
fects. It is an iron crosstie; this is a
new idea lo many of our readers, but
this is au age of progress aud many
new things ooustautly appear.
The tie referred to is of rolled iron,
thus giving it the greatest strength with
the smallest buttleness. It is certainly
a good thing to have on curves and
bridges; there especially the track needs
strength. The iron tie will hold the
rails so firmly that it is impossible foi
them to spread, at the same time it will
give a firmness aud strength to the
track that is admirably designed to pre
vent acoideuts. We are not sufficiently
versed iu soientitto terms to explain the
various advantages of this tie, but it is
certainly au improvement which rail
road managers should turu their atten
tion to.
The tie is the patent of Mr. Lewis
Scofield, formerly connected with the
Scofield rolling mills, of Atlanta, Ga. It
is said that a large stock company is
forming to manufacture them, aud that
railroad men are considerably impressed
with it. In this ago of rapid ideas as
well as improved methods, it certainly
behooves railroad managers to oast about
for a better tie than the old wooded tie.
Wouldn’t it l e a good idea, both for our
town and the proposed company, to
have them locate their works here where
land, labor and all the accessories of a
manufactory are so abuudaut and cheap?
SITTING ON THE FENCE.
Editors Coubant American: —I no
tice in your paper that our ordinary as
ordered an election on the question of
“fence” or “no fence.”
I regret that so much has been
gotten up on this question, as it
is one which so directly affects
very citizen, both rich and poor;
and that some have allowed themselves to
be persuaded into the belief that this is a
move in the interest of the rich man, to
the iujnry of the poor. I, as one of the
poor men of the county, have given this
matter serious thought, weighing it care
fully in reference to my own interest, as if
I alone were interested, forgetting for the
time that there are any rich men in the
county.
I own a very small place, all of which
is cleared; my fences are very poor, by no
means what would be considered a lawful
fence
The time is fast approaching when my
troubles are to begin, keeping my neigh
hors cows off my little growing crop. I
have no woodland, from which to cut aud
make rails, nor have I the money with
which to buy posts, plank and rails to
build anew fence.
I may work hard and constantly lor
four months —say until the first of July—
and when my prospects for a fair return
for my labor are bright, I may be raided
on by cattle running on the commons,
and in one night the labor of months is
absolutely destroyed, and that without
any remedy—crops destroyed in July, too
kite to plant again, and thus one year’s
work worse than lost; for I have con
tracted debts for provisions, labor and
fertilizers, and my only source of revenue,
ray crops, oaten or destroyed by other
men’s cattle.
G oorny prospect indeed I How am I
to meet these obligations ? Nor am I
alone; there art in Bartow county many
farmers situated as I am, they are not able
to refence their lands, and they, like my
self, are without fences —as effectually as
if the no fence law existed, but have no
protection against roving cattle. Many of
these farmers would be glad to sell their
farms, some of them to pay their debts,
others because ot their inability to keep
them up, but a purchaser cannot be found,
because there is not enough timber on the
place to rebuild the broken down fences.
What are we to do? I ask: What is
the little farmer, or the man of moderate
means to do? He has a cow, and if the
no fence law prevails what will he do
with his cow? Can he not better afford to
fence in three to five acres for a pasture for
his own cow than to fence 200 acres to
prevent oth r cows from pasturing on his
crops? Any sensible man cau 6ee which
is cheapest and best.
The expense and trouble of repairing
old fences is not the only argument in
favor of no fence. After incurring the ex
peuse, and doing all the work, the farmer
often awakes to find his crops destroyed
Take into account another item: the old
rails on one of these small farms would be
sufficient firewood for five years—lure is
a saving ol at least $125, and this amount
would be sufficient to enclose three or
four lots of several acres each, giving him
a rotation in his pastures, and the ground
now occupied by the old fences will raise
enough corn and peas to feed his cattle
during the winter months after the pas
tures are all eateD out.
If the time now spent in patching up
and building fences was spent in making
fertilizers, at home, there would be no
necessity for spending so much money for
the commercial stuff which makes you
poorer every year; the notes for which
must be paid by the first of November.
Whether cotton is high or low, it must be
sold, and the poor farmer is often com
pelled to see half his hard earnings go,
like a morning’s dream, “o’er the hills and
far away.” So much for the little farmer.
What of the tenant farmer ? No fence is
the very thing for him. The law’ provides
for him and his cow: “Each owner or
proprietor of lands in any militia disrrict,
adopting the provisions of this act, who
shall rent his lands, or establish a system
of tenantry therein, shall furnish pastur
age for, at least, one cow and calf for the
family of each tenant, provided said ten
ant shall do his proportionate part of
fencing. Section 1455 of Code of Ga.,
1882.
I am satisfied the best thing the small
farmer, whether he owns his farm or is
only a tenant, whether white man or
negro, can do to advance his interest is to
vote for no fence, raise less cotton and
more corn, peas, potatoes, oats and
wheat; raise two or three hogs in pens or
pastures instead of half raising twice that
number in the woods. Keep one cow,
keep her well, get double the quantity of
milk they now get from 3 or 4 half
starved cows who walk themselves to
death hunting a bunch of grass, live
easier, more contented, sleep soundly at
night, knowing that every old break
fence cow is securedly fenced in, that your
crops are turned out to grow as high as
they please, and that your potatoes and
turnips can spread themselves without
being compelled to push the fences out of
their way. The rail splitter will find
safer and better employment preparing
the land for the next crop, making com
post heaps and many other things that are
now neglected on account of the time
waisted in fence building. If half the
time thus foolishly spent were well put in
at something else it wou and clothe a small
family, pay their taxes and educate their
children. Such is the experience of all
who have tried the no fence law. The
farmers in South Carolina would not have
fences if Georgia would send rails and
men over there to build them free of
charge.
Poor men, rally on the fence and mash
it down. I am One of You.

No, my son, it isn’t that the world has
mrowa hard hearted, it isn’t that we are’nt
just as glad to day to see the prodigal
come back, aud just as lovingly anxious
to welcome him home as ever wsb any
body in the 15th chapter of Luke. It is
the manner in which the Prodigal Son of
1887 frequently returns that throws a
wet blanket over the festivities of the wel
come. When he comes down the road
with his hat hanging on his ear and his
hands in his pocket; when he kicks the
faithful house dog as he lounges in at the
gate; when he calls his father “ Gov’ner,”
and the hired man “Cul;” when he wants
to know “what’s for dinner?” before he
has been in the house fifteen minutes;
when he gives his elder bro her two
fingers to shake and adyises him to comb
the hayseed out of his hair; when he
throws himself into the easiest chair in the
house, perches his feet on the window sill
and announces that he’ll “take a tub be
fore dinner;” when he comes back with a
generally forgiving air of good fellowship
about him and tries to make all the rest of
the family feel very easy aud assured
then it is , my son, that your father longs
to run and meet you while you are a great
way off and fall upon your neck with a
plow line and welt you into a state of
becoming humanity and penitence by the
time yon are able to take off your hat to
the bound boy and crawl up the fiont
steps to ask your brother to shake hands
with you. Good people are just as glad
to-day as they ever were, my son, to see
the prodigal come home; but it does rattle
them a little to see him come home in a
hack and ask them to pay the driver and
sand for his baggage.

BEECHER'S BELIEF.
Iu a rfceut letter to a friend, the late
Henry Ward Beecher stated his creed as
follows:
“The formulated doctrines, as I hold
them, are: A personal God, creator and
ruler over all things; the hurnau family
universally sinful; the need and possi
bility aud facts of conversion; the divine
agency iu such a work; Jesus Christ the
manifestation of God in human con
ditions; His office iu redemption su
preme. Ido not believe iu the Calvin
iatic form of stating the atonement. I
do not believe in the fall of tne human
race iu Adam, and of course, I do not
hold that Christ’s work was to satisfy
the law brokeu by Adam for all his pos
terity. The race was not lost, but has
been ascending steadily from oreatiou.
I am iu hearty accord with revivals and
revival preaching, with the educating
forces of the church, and iu sympathy
with all ministers who in their several
ways seek to build up meu into the
image of Jesus Christ, by whose faithful
ness, generosity, and love I hope to be
saved aud brought home to heaven.”

An editor died and slowly wended his
way down to where he supposed a warm
reception awaited him. The Devil met
him and said: “For many years thou hast
borne the blame for the errors that the
printers made in the papers. The paper
has gone, alas, for $1; and the sl, also, has
often failed to come in. The printers
fhave bedeviled thee for wages Saturday
Jwght when thou hadst not a cent to thy

Thou canst not come in here.” And he
fired him. As he did so he murmured:

It is the duty of every person who has
Boschee’s German Syrup to let its won
derful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
a’l throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieye any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,-
000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.
Sold by all druggists and dealers, in the
United States and Canada. nov ly

Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Is a peculiar medicine, and is carefully pre
pared by competent pharmacists. The com
bination and proportion of Sarsaparilla, Dan
delion, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, and other
remedial agents is exclusively peculiar to
Hood's Sarsaparilla, giving it strength and
curative power superior to other prepa
rations. A trial will convince you of its
great medicinal value. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Purifies the Blood
creates and sharpens the appetite, stimulates
the digestion, and gives strength to every
organ of the body. It cures the most severe
cases of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Boils, Pimples,
and all other affections caused by impure
blood, Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Headache,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, Catarrh Rheu
matism, and that extreme tired feeling,
“ Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me more
for catarrh and impure blood than anything
else I ever used.’’ A. Ball, Syracuse, N. Y.
Creates an Appetite ~4
“ I used Hood’s Sarsaparilla to cleanse my
blood and tone up my system. It gave me a
good appetite and seemed to build me over.”
E. M. Half., Lima, Ohio. M
“I took Hood's Sarsaparilla for cancerous
humor, and it began to act unlike anything
else. It cured the humor, and seemed to
tone up tlie whole body and give me new
life.’’ J. F. Nixon, Cauibridgeport, Mass.
