Reports have lieen received in London
announcing the <lnath of Stanley, tin*
African explorer. Reports have been
con dieting and many doubt the state
ment.
Says the Boston Herald: “The man*
nor in which leading southern newspa
pers have treated this battle-flag busi
ness, shows more sense as well as a truer
patriotism than those who ‘slopped
over' in their ‘palsying' operations, or
streamed out Otherwise for the purposees
of party capital at the north. The south
ha-* a calm consciousness that the Union
is restored, and is disposed to accord
not much notice to people who would
strive to make it appear otherwise.”
The Chicago communists, those who
n:*e not under sentence of death for mur
der, are said to l*e contemplating immi
gration to San Domingo. An agent has
be;u five months on the island studying
its climate, resources and general ad
vantages as a home, for the fellows who
desire to l>e a law unto themselves. It is
claimed that twenty-five families are
ready to go, ahdthat a good many more
will follow, if money enough can be raised
to pay their expenses. The jieople of
Chicago are to l>e congratulated upon
the probability of getting rid of these
red-handed disturbers of the ]>eace.
But are the residents of San Domingo
guilty of any crime, that they should
t nus be afflicted?
The New York Journal of Commerce
furnishes some very thoughtful sugges
t ions on the subject of immigration,
which the Macon Telegraph deems wor
lh.v of consideration by the members of
the legislature. It says: “The marvel
ous growth of the country in population
anil material wealth is largely due to im
migration. What are a rich soil, and
great lielts of timiier lauds, and thick
veins of coal, and huge beds of ore, and
sturdy waterfalls ready to turn the pon
derous wheel, and mighty rivers running
thousands of miles to the sea, if there
are no millions of hands ready to accept
these proffered opportunities, and by
thrifty usi coin them into the accumu
lated rewards of industry and thrift? To
raise a working population by ordinary
in. rease is a comparatively slow and
c stly process. Half of the children born
die before they cease to be independent
on others for their support, and the av-
rage cost of raising a man or woman to
the age when he or she may be helpiul to
others, in the most economical system,
ranges from twelve to fifteen hundred
dollars. Every adult immigrant landed
on our shores is an addition to our ma
terial wealth of at least the sum it would
cost to produce him here. If he is a skill
ed laborer lie posieises the added value
of the expense of such an acquisition. If
unskilled In* is a laboring machine put
down here withou any outlay from us,
which it would cost us nearly or quite
fifteen hundred dollars to construct our
s-Les. He is offered to our use without
any tax upon us for what it lias cost to
rear him and deliver him to our hand.”
The Sorrows of Idleness.
An able and esteemed contemporary
makes some very ]tertinent and timely
remarks on the sorrows of idleness.
Wlmt it says is so full of t rue philosophy
and healthy advice that we reproduce it.
trusting that it may be read by every
parent in the country. It says:
“It is the historyof all ages constantly
repeating itself. Idleness now proves the
fruitful parent of crime just as it has
ever done aiming every people of the
earth, and ns it will continue to do un
til time shall be no more.
“If parents, and especially mothers,
could only be made to appreciate the
truth when their children’s destiny is
being shaped in childhood, they would
guard against the unspeakable sorrow
of wrecked sons and daughters by teacli
ing them to practice and honor industry.
“A large preponderance of the dissipa
tion and crime of this age is directly
traceable to the poison of idleness and
the contempt for industry, instilled in
children by parents. It is the common
ambition of even industrial fathers that
their sons shall be what they call gentle
men, and the mother's ambition is that
her (laughters shall be regarded as ladies.
Ia most case,* where such false education
is given at home, neither the father nor
the mother has any just conception of
what constitutes a true gentleman or
lady. Tiny, as a rule, assume that idle
ness and dress above their means, with a
smattering of brightness, distinguish the
gentleman and lady from the vulgar
herd, and by their example their children
drift into all the logical evils of idleness.
“The keenest sorrows of tin* world are
in the homes of p*>ople of ufHueuee, who
are so much i nvied by those who strug
gle in daily toil for bread; but if the skel
etons of the homes of the honest sons of
labor could be compared with the
skeletons of the homes of the rich, both
would learn that there is no happiness
in idleness; no wealth but the content of
industry.
‘‘The father and mother who rear chil
dren in idleness and teach them that in
dustry brings the stain of dishonor, are
themselves directly responsible for the
countless thousands of yonflg men and
women whose pitiful wrecks are seen on
every side; and until parents shall liegiu
Ihe work of reform in the early eduen
e.ition of children crime and sorrow will
steadily multiply in t he land.”
The Tariff Question.
Editor Coirant American: I notice
your anxiety to have Mr. Hanson, of
the Macon Telegraph, come to Carters*
ville and enlighten us on the protective
Ini id. All such quest ions have two
sides, anil if those with protective pro*
clivities wish to discuss this issue, let us
have both sidi-s. Mr. Hanson, I under
derstand, is a manufacturer, and, of
course, is in favor of protection, because
it puts money into his pocket. The ques
tion is: Who pays the profit? Were
the people nil engaged in manufacturing,
no class would be harmed; but the large
majority of our people are farmers and
receive no protection from the govern
ment, but foot till the expenses and have
to compete with Copoy labor of India.
Me do not wish any more class legisla
tion. y
The Bill to Sell the \V. & A. K. R.
A bill providing for the sale of tho
Western & Atlantic railroad, has been
introduced by Senator Linton A. Dean,
from this district. The arguments favor
ing bill are clearly and concisely set forth
in the preamble, which are as follows:
Whereas, the true objects of pure re
publican government are the protection
of the file, liberty and property of the
citizen, rather than conducting business
for iKHMininry gain; and
Whereas, the constitution of the State
of Georgia declares “protection, to per
son and property the paramount duty
of government, and shall be impartial
and complete;" and
Whereas, the constitution of the State
ot Georgia recognizes the right of the
jteople to free competition in business
pursuits; and
Whereas, the owning of property by
the state, which is used and operated
solely for tle purposes of profit to the
state is inconsistent with the foregoing
principles and is calculated to reduce the
state from the high plane of pure govern
ment to the level of business conqietition
with her citizens, thereby offering temp
tation to use her sovereign power to pro
tect her pecuniary interests at the sacii
fice of her citizens, whose welfare she
should promote rather than retard; and
Whereas, the control and management
of such property by the state has been
and will continue to be a disturbing ele
ment in the conduct of the affairs of the
state; and
Whereas, it is a bad business policy to
own property and refuse to sell the same
for an adequate price while ow ning debts,
the interest 011 w hich is equal to or great
er than the income derived from the
income derived from the property; and
Whereas, the constitution of the State
of Georgia recognizes the propriety of
selling the property of the state for the
purpose of paying the debts of the state.
The main features of the bill are that
it specifies the minimum price for the
road 118,480,500, which amount covers
the state debt, excepting some university
bonds. The payments are to fall due
thirty days before the dates of maturity
of the state's bonds, in corresponding
amounts, uml the money thus arising is
to be devoted to the liquidation of the
bonds as they fall due. The bill not only
provides for the sale of the road, but de
fines tin* position of the state in regard
to betterments. It declares that the
state is entitled to ail the betterments
and SOOO,OOO worth rolling stock. The
governor, president of the senate, speak
er of the house, attorney-general and
state treasurer are to constitute a board
of commissioners to negotiate the sale.
The board is directed to advertise in ten
prominent journals in the United States
once a month for three months prior to
January Ist, 1888.
The bill is a splendidly drafted instru
ment, and reflects much credit upon Sen
ator Dean as an able, thougthful and
careful legislator. The expediency of
the passage of the bill is variously re
garded; as yet, but few of the members
of the legislature have expressed them
selves, prefering to wait until they have
given the question of sale thorough con
sideration. Should it be accepted as
being to the best interest of the state
to dispose of this valuable property by
sale, then, we believe, Senator Dean's bill
could not be improved upon.
It will no doubt, be ofinterest to many
to know something of the extent of the
mineral production of this country:
The following condensed statement of
production of the more important min
erals of the United States in the calen
dar year 1880 as issued by the United
States Geological survey, in advance of
a report on the mineral resources of the
17. S. was prepared by David T. Day,
chief of the division of mining statistics
and techology. The increased produc
tion and also increase in value have
been general characteristics of the min
eral industries during 1886. The total
value of mineral products increased in
round numbers from $428,000,000 in
1885 to $465,000,000 in 1886. The
important factor in this gain of $67,-
000,000 was the increased production of
pig iron from 4,044,525 long tons in
1885 to 5,686,629 long tons in 1886,
and an appreciation of 75 cents in the
average value ]>er ton making a total
gain of $60,48.6,160 in this industry
alone. The condition of the individual
industries is given as follows: The prin
cipal iron statistics for 1886 were do
mestic iron ore consumed, 10,000,000
long tons valued at mine, $28,000,000;
ported iron ore, consumed, 1,039,488
long tons; the total iron ore consumed,
11,039,468 long tons. Fig iron made
5,683,829 long tons, an increase ofl,-
638,803 tons as compared with 1885;
value at the furnace $95,195,760, or
$60,483,660 more than in 1885. The
total spot value of all iron and steel in
the first stage of manufacture, inelud
ing all duplications, $142,500,000 an
increase of $49,500,000, as compared
with 1885. The total value of gold pro
duced in 1886 Was $35,000,000, an in
crease of $3,199,000 over 1885. The
production of silver decreased from ssl,
600,000 in 1885, to $51,000,000 in
1886.
The production of copper in 1886, in
cluding 4,500,000 pounds from impor
ted pyrites, amounted to 160,678,981
pounds, vaiued at $16,469,503, a de
crease of 10,284,526 pounds and $1,823,-
496 in value from 1885. The average
price of copper in 1886. declined to 10%
cents per pound. The total production
of lead increased to 1,300,629 tons in
1886, valued at $12,667,749 at a aver
age value of $96,40 jer short ton in
New York.
The production Qf, white lead in 1886
is estimated at 60,000 short tons worth
at 6% cents per pound $7,500,000. The
total value of the oxides of lead was
about $1,535,000.
The zinc production was 42,641 short
tons valued at SBB per short ton; an in
crease of 1,953 short tons and $212,552
in value over 1885. Zinc oxide (zinc
white) was also made directly from ores,
to the amount of 1,800 short tons val
ued at $1,440,000.
In 1880 the production of quick silver
in California was 29,1)81 flasks, or 229,-
1•" J pounds, valued at $1,000,(KM).
This is a decrease of 2,092 flasks, but
the total value shows an increase of SBO.-
811 due to an increase in price.
The total production of all kinds of
coal in 1880, exclusive of that consum
ed at the mines known us colliery con
sumption, was 107,082,200 short tons
valued at 5147,112,755 at the mines.
The total production of all kinds of coal
shows net gain of 1,78.7,881 short tons
as compared with 18S5, but a loss in
spot value of $1,119,120.

The death of Herr Krnpp, the German
girnmnker, whose fume is world-wide, lias
been announced. Alfrinl Krupp was the
j proprietor of the enormous manufactory
I at Essen, in Rhenish Prussia, originally
j established by his father in 1827. Herr
i Krupp manufactured u large number of
articles us**d for peaceful purposes, but
his name is more particularly associated
wit h the gigantic steel siege guns which
i the Germans us*d with such terrible ef
j feet against the city of Paris. In 1861
! the king of Prussia offered him letters of
I nobility, which he declined to accept. In
traveling through the district of Essen,
on tho Rhur, may be seen the largest
iron and gun foundry in the world,
j Over sixty-five thousand people are sup
* ported through the works, twenty thou
sand of these finding employment there
in- it is the largest business establish
ment in the world dependent on and
through the instrumentality of one indi
vidual. riie great Krupp works cover
mere than five hundred acres. With the
growth and success of the works Mr.
Krupp erected small colonies, stores, hos
| pituls, churches, schools, etc., for his em
ployees. The Krupp gun is world-famed.

guns and cannon at the American Cen
tennial exposition in Philadelphia 1876.
Asa rule Mr. Krupp allowed no visitors
to his works, and it was only an excep
tional case where one secured permis
sion to enter. When Emperor William
visited the works, in 1877, Mr. Krupp
had the productions of the day set be
fore him for inspection, which amounted
to 1,800 rails, 160 wheel tires, 120 axles,
100 wheels, 460 railway wedges, and
1,000 bomb-shells.
Ur. Felton's Wine Bill.
“The following is a text of Dr. Felton's
wine room bill which passed the house
last week:
A BIEL,
"To bo entitled an act to levy and col
lect a tax of ten thoufymd dollars upon
dealers in domestic wines, who deal
therein to t lie exclusion of foreign wines,
aleholic and malt liquors, to prescribe
penalties for violation of this act, and
for other purposes,
“.Section 1. Beit enacted by tho Sen
ate and House of Representatives in
General Assemb.v met, and it is hereby
enacted by the same. That from and
after the passage of this act a tax of feu
thousand dollars be levied and collected
upon each and every dealer in domestic
wines and other intoxicants, who deals
therein to the exclusion of foreign wines,
aleholic and malt liquors: Provided,
nothing in this act shall be so construed
us to levy a tax on dealers in or produc
ers of domestic wines manufactured from
grapes or berries grown on land owned,
leased or rented by said dealers, and
which lands shall be located in this
Sta te where the dealer resides.
“Sec. 2. Be it enacted, etc., That said
tax shall be collected as now prescribed
by law for the collection of the liquor
tax.
S<*c. 6. Be it enacted, etc., That any
person or persons who shall, after the
passage of this act, deal in domestic
wines and othcriutoxicants to tin* exclu
sion of foreign wines, alchoholic and
malt liquors, and shall fail or refuse to
Rav the tax imposed in this act, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction thereof shall be punished as
prescribed in section 4310 of the code of
1882; nevertheless, the tax collector
sh ill proceed to collect tho said tax as in
other cases of defaulting tax payers.
Mr. Brady's bill, allowing farmers to
plead failure of consideration to notes
given for commercial fertilizers, lias pass
ed the house, and is now ready to run
the gauntlet in the senate. Just what
w ill be its fate in that branch of the gen
eral assembly is a matter of conjecture
as yet. But without going into any de
tailed discussion of the bill, we are of the
opinion that its passage will prove bene
ficial to the farmers. The chief end to be
hoped for under the bill will be the re
striction in the sale of fertilizers, and our
observation has been that the less the
farmers purchase tho better it is for
them.
A BARGAIN IN CORNER LOTS
is what most men desire, but to keep
from tilling a grave in a cemetery lot ere
half your days are numbered, always

Hy druggists.
A piece of ground in Philadelphia, with
a frontage of sixteen" feet on Chestnut
and thirty-four feet on Fourth sroet, was
recently sold for $85,000, or $l5O per
square foot. It was necessary to com
plete a building site in the heart of the
city, and, therefore, commanded this ex
traordinary figure. This is the highest
price ever paid for real estate in America.
The one next to it, perhaps, was on Wall
street. New York City, where a lot sold
for $145 per square foot. The Philadel
phia price was at the rate of $0,800,000
per acre.
A horrible sacrifice of human life oc
curred on the Erie railroad near lloho
kuh, X. J., last Thursday. .V gang of
one hundred Italians were at work on the
track near a sharp curve, when a belated
express train running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour shot around the curve and
ploughed a furrow through the aston
ished workmen. Fifteen men were fear
fully mangled; the road was strewn with
limbs, heads, bodies and strips of flesh
for three hundred yards; and the track
made slippery with human blood.
FRETFUL INFANTS
fi.re not so because oftheir depravity, but
because they are not propesly fed. Many
ot the so-called “foods” serve more to ir

trient, and can lie deluded upon to
make the babies healthy and happy.
Much of the time of the penitentiary
committee one day last week was con

Di. Houck testified to Smith’s cruelty
and Smith in turn charged Dr. Houck
with criminal intercourse with negro fe

two bastards. Both charges seem well
supported.

GRASSDALE.
While most of the county was almost
deluged, wo were watching every cloud,
vainly hoping for rain. On Friday eve
ning last we had a fine shower, which re
freshed our crops greatly.
The wife of Mr. Win. Fortenbury died
on the night of the 12th, and was buried
at Cross Roads the next day, attended
by a large crowd of friends and neigh
hoi's. Mrs. F. leaves a husband and six
children, by whom she will be greatly
missed.
Grassdale has indeed had a gala day,
one that will not be forgotten soon by
the persons who were so fortunate as to
be present. In the first place, the thanks
of all are due Mr. AY. W. Montgomery
for the untiring energy he displayed in
the affair. A short time since Air. M.
suggested that we have a barbecue. Af
ter consultation, Tuesday the 19th was
agreed upon. The place select'd was
upon the farm of J. L. Irick. I assert,
without fear of contradiction, that a
prettier place, or one better suited for
such a gathering, could not be found in
the county. On Monday several of the
neighbors met, cleared off the ground,
hauled wood and bark, dug the trench
and made all necessary arrangements.
I know not at what hour Sam Jones
lighted the fire, but by five o’clock the
carcasses of three sheep and one shout
were stretched over a bed of red-hot
coals. Now was the particular time, but
again we find Mr. Montgomery equal to
the emergency; with his coat off and
sleeves rolled up, lie was at every place
that needed attention, at the right time,
turning one carcass and then another,
and seeing that they were properly at
tended to by his assistants. It was the
unanimous verdict tfyat never was nicer
barbecued meat served. About nine
o’clock the guests began to arrive, and
before the middle of the day there were
about seventy persons on the ground.
Besides the Grassdale people were, Mr.
White, Robert Best and family, Jabe
Vernon and family, Col. Carter, Dr. Grif
fin and boys, Joseph Bradley and daugh
ter, Miss Irene Haynes, of Dalton, and
Frank Weems, of Rome. About one
o’clock dinner was served. Enough to
say is, that tbe Grassdale people lost
none of their reputation in this line.
“Sheet” Attaway and Bill Pittard got
in after the table was cleared up, but
enough scraps were gotten up to kt*ep
them from getting hungry before supper.
“Skeet” wore the same smile that makes
him so popular behind the counter of
Scheuer Bros. Many amusing incidents
occurred to enliven the day. A trio of
young men had a fine melon in the
branch cooling, so after dinner .each one
took a young lady and strolled off from
the crowd. Meeting at a point agreed
upon, they sent a couple of negroes after
it, but the boys were not posted as they
should have been, and came by the crowd
of older persons. J. L, Irick seized the
melon und burs ted it upon a bench. Just
then Wult llawkins, who was running at
the rate of a mile a minute, dashed in
and rescued half the melon. Some little
negroes also afforded considerable
amusement by dancing, which was en
joyed by all, not excepting the two min
isters present. Then came scrambling
for nickels, which were thrown up by the
boys. The last was a wrestle by J. L.
hick and Will Battle, in which the latter
found himself lying in the dust, with his
good clothes on, and his girl looking at
him. The children had a good time
wading in the branch, with the older
ones looking on as if they envied them
and their cooling sport. The sun was
now getting so low that the crowd begun
making preparations for breaking up.
After singing the L. M. Doxolog.v, Bro.
White pronounced the benediction, mid
the crowd whs soon homeward bound,
all agreeing that never had they spent a
more pleasant day, and hoping a repeti
tion soon. Croftox.

STEGALL.
Last Wednesday a small party of our
youngsters left here bright and early on
a picnic excursion to Saltpetre Cave*,
they passed your city early, before the
Couhant-Ameriuax begin to stir. About
10:30 the arrived on tin* ground of their
anticipated day's sport, having l*eeu
joined by others of your city and vicini
ty. After a short resting spell, torches,
lanterns, etc., were lighted and all headed
for the cave. All was confusion, slip
ping, jumping and falling being the order
of the day. After a careful exploration
of the different rooms, and some of the
party having made* tin* trip through, the
entire crowd returned to near the en
trance and spread themselves down near
by the spring and partook of the picnic
dinner of the season. Mr. Editor wish
you had been there. After dinner the
party divided, some enjoying a nice
walk down to the river, whilst the oth
srs sat around singing a few songs and
enjoying themselves generally. “Why
do you wait” was the favorite song, but
Dennis and John couldn't satisfactorily
answer. After enjoying a nice cool
watermelon it was deckled that we had
homeward better get. Hadn’t traveled
many miles before some of the party
made the wonderful discovery that we |
were hungry and thirsty. Stopping at a
farm house, Mr. Will Dobbs very gallant
ly obtained permission to get a bucket
of water and passed it around about
half-a-dozen times, without a murmur.
Married men aremore particular in look
ing after the comfort of ladies on such
occasions than young gentlemen, don't
you think? Another supply of cake,
chicken and water was partaken of and
in high spirits the party drove off for
Cartersville, where they arrived about
7 o’clock in good condition. Oh, they
had a splendid time and if you doubt it
ask “Dennis” and “John.” Two of the
crowd would like to go again.

The work on the new Georgia capitol is
progressing nicely. About half the
amount the state is to pay for the build
ing has been paid. When the work is
completed the bills have b**eu met —every
one of them. The state will not owe a
cent on the house. The country will then
have an idea of what democratic honesty
means in Georgia, for we will have built
a capitol within the original appropria
tion, for spot cash, and without a bit of
jobbery. Our capitol commission is an
honor to the state.—Atlanta Journal.
