Judging from the tenor of the press throughout the State, the sentiment favoring the sale of the Western & Atlantic railroad, is growing.

Trot out your sluggers and pull the door bell of the Georgia legisla ture, if you want to be heard. Righteous Indignation. About the maddest set of jieople in tills country is those of Montgomery, Ala., and well may they be. Pojiular indignation against an article in the Herald, a weekly paper edited by a col ored man named Jesse Dukes, reached a climax Monday. The article come out Saturday and is as follows: “Every day or ho we read of the lynching of some negro for outraging Home white woman. Why in it that white women attract negro men now more than in former days? There was a time when such a tiling was unheard of. There is a secret to this tiling, and we greatly suspect it Is the growing appreciations of white Juliet for colored Romeo as tie becomes more and more intelligent and retlned, if something is not done to break up these lynchings it will be so utter a while that they will lynch every colored mnu that looks at a white woman with a twinkle in his eye.” A large public meet ing Monday adopted resolutions denouncing him and warning him to keep away from Montgomery nt tin* jieril of his life. Duke’s paper has been bitterly jiartisan and has more than once contained articles to which whites seriously objected. He was mail agent until Cleveland came in. The New York Journal ot Commerce does not have faith in George’s ideas of “betterment” for trifling men. It says: “The only way to better man’s condi tion is to improve the individual. No one is a slave to his surroundings; for t here is none who cannot, if he will, rise superior to his circumstances. Or if we admit that he is helpless, and that with out outside lifting he must forever lie iu abject despondency, it is still true that the elevation by external forces can only come through the culture of the man's own nature. Take the ignorant, the besotted, or the brutish, dwelling in inde scribable squalor, and wash him, and adorn him with neat attire, and put him in a commodious dwelling, and furnish him with a comfortable larder, and tell him henceforth to keep himself whole some, and to live so as to deserve the respect of the decent and orderly in so eiety, and his betterments will not last as long as the clean clothes from the week's washing. The man must be ehanged before his habits will improve, and no outside scrubbing will nffeet his character.” Thk.uk is every indications of a largo fall trade. business of every kind will enjoy a great boom. Notwithstanding the revere drought of the northwest, the m ops of 1887, throughout the country will I*‘ immense, and the general products of the country's industries will be abso lutely unexampled in the aggregate vol ume. There have been ripples on the surface of finances, by heavy reckless gambling operations of simulators, but they have never touched the business of the country. It is a source of cumfortto know, that no time within the last fifty years, have the people been as generally solvent and prosperous; the farmers have never been so wisely economical in their purchases; the crops have never been finer, nor made for such a mini mum cost; added to this, the farmers entered upon the year in twenty jive per cent better condition than for any, perhaps, since the war. Indeed, every branch of business and industry is healthy and prosperous. The people were never better able or equipped for making liberal purchases. Them things must make a great faff trade. The Sale of the State Road. We regret to note an increasing dispo sltion upon the part of the legislature to sell the state road. We regard this as an act of bad fait h to the jieople and a virtual violation, of in structions. While making the contest for nomination. Gov. Gordon rejieated l.v declared, both in letters and from the stump, his uncompromising opposition to any sale. In nearly all the counties of the state the candidates for election to the legislature were required to define their position upon this subject, and we doubt if there are a dozen members in the house of representatives who are not pledged against the sale, and who were not elected iqon the implied understand ing that they would vote against any bill providing for a sale. We therefore insist that good faith to the people re quires that the present legislature should submit this whole question to the ]>eople for settlement. Let the great arguments pro and con be submitted directly to the voters on the hustings. Let the people in their choice of the members who com pose the next legislature say whether or not their will, so clearly and unmistaka bly pronounced in the selection of the present legislature, has altered. We do not believe that Mr. Dean’s bill reflects the will of a majority of his constituents. We know the present sense of the voters of Bartow county is overwhelmingly against the sale. Again: It is bad policy to attempt to make a sale until the rights of the state and lessees in regard to betterments are clearly settled. Will the purchasers of the road obtain it iu its present condi tion, or in the condition it was when the lessees took charge? How many engines will the purchasers get title to? and bow many ears? and what conflicts will arise between the purchasers and the lessees? Every man who thinks must at once per ceive that the rights of all parties can not be determined until these questions are adjusted. And is it not equally clear that the existence of these conflicting claims will depress the sale and the prop erty? Indeed the concurrence of the les sees’ claims and the effort, to sell the road is almost sufficient to justify the suspi cion that there exists somewhere along the line a community of interest. It seems to us that the duty of the legislature is plain. Let it, by appro priate legislation, settle this question at once: Shall the state, by proper adjust ment with the lessees, provide for the maintenance of her road in its present splendid condition to the end of the lease, or is she content to receive it back in the condition it was when it was leased? This question disposed of, then let the other question of sale or a re lease be submitted to the whole people. When the question as to the attitude of the state towards the lessees is settled, the jieople will know whether they will have for sale a splendid road, magnifi cently equijiped, or the ramshackling concern of 1870; and this exactly known, they, as intelligent sellers or les sors, (as the case may be,) will know what price to expect from intelligent purchasers or lessees. Natural Gas in Chattanooga. About the wildest town within the scojie of our knowledge, is our large and propressive sister up the railroad. If the two papers of Chattanooga, the Times and the Commercial, are to be taken as evidence, the town is very wild. For several weeks boring has been going on at the Logan well, near the suck, ten miles from town. Ojierations ceased very suddenly a week or so ago, and the report given out by those in charge that the machinery was broken and some time would be taken to replace the broken parts. Last Monday week the Commercial, a very live pajier, which takes "a fiend ish delight in “scoojiing” its neighbor, the Times, sniffed a sensation from afar, and the following morning the columns of the paper were filled with gas. It pro claimed that natural gas had been struck in paying quantities at the Logan well, and gave considerable proof that the as sertion was true. The town went wild on gas. Gas, gas, gas, of all qualities, was at every turn. The Times, usually very alive, woke up Tuesday morning, the victim of a cruel “scape. The Times, however, has been diligent in se curing positive facts in relation to the new discovery and proclaimed that gas had not been found in paying qualities, and tlins a war of words was immediate ly inaugurated between the two papers. The Times told the truth so far as fu ture investigations show. Monday morning the boring was re newed. Large excursion parties went down and watched the boring. During the afternoon a match was applied to the well, when a flame eight fret high shot forth, though gradually dying away. That gas in any amount is in the immediate neighborhood there seems to be no doubt whatever. The drilling at the well is being con tinued, and the indications are better at every turn of the drill. The company owning the Logan well are satisfied that there is plenty of natural gas in the neighborhood, and will proceed to bore in six other jdaces. The finding of gas will amount to a great deal to Chattanooga as well as the surrounding country. It will revolu tionize manufacturing interests and will start that town on a boom that will heap up a population of 100,000 in less than two years. The average Clmita noogan can well afford to become wild for the time being. Immense gas mains can lie laid from Chattanooga to adja* cent towns, and us Atlanta, through the Constitution, has sjioken fin* one of these mains, it is safe to say that Cartersville, lying in the intermediate territory will be allowed to tap the main, and thus be | come a direct beneficiary of Chattanoo ga’s wonderful gas. It is hoped that gas will be found in Chattanooga in such quantity as to ad mit of supjilying her neighbors some. It is stated within the last year, that George I. Kenny, has made additions to his collection of paintings to the volume of |250,000. lie lias also, fully rapoyered his fortune and :is no longer financially cm harassed.

We have before us the ad vance pages j of a novel, with the above title, by Mr. Francis Fontaine. Tlie author, having at one time been an esteemed and hon | oral citizen of Bartow county, is known lo most of our jieojile as a scholarly and accomplished gentleman. The purpose of the work, is to give a | correct picture of life in the south, as it was under the regime of slavery. The author endeavors to faithfully show what the south was, and is. the charac teristic life and customs of the people, * both white and black, both slave and free,’’ a book written to give a true history of that remarkable struggle, “with malice to none and charity to all." The jiages before us show this to have been entertaingly and skillfully done. The proceeds of the sale of the book are to be devoted to the founding of a veter ans home in Atlanta. The cause, out side of the merits of the book, should aji peal to all. By the Way. Atlanta Journal.] Some South Carolinians, who moved into Georgia in the fifties and settled in Cass county, at old Cassville, were very much astonished at some of the Georgia ways, and especially the ways of the judges and lawyers. In South Carolina they had been accus tomed to see judges always wear gowns on the bench; every lawer was required to wrap his form in a black cloth Prince Albert coat. It was the custom also for the sheriff, wearing a uniform, and a sword, to escort the judge from his room to the bench with great dignity. The bailiffs, with the long Jacob stalls, were required to jireserve order in keeping with the great dignity of the court. To these South Carolinians it was an odd sight to see Judge A. R. Wright, then an attorney at Cartersville, sitting* in the court house window with his coat off, while the other lawyers wore such apparel as suited their varied tastes and jiocket books, and the presiding judge sat upon the bench without a gown. They soon discovered, however, that Georgia lawyers were not lacking in abil ity, eloquence or wit. The traditions of the profession have preserved fragments of many a great sjieeeh, many a burst of eloquence and innumerable sallies of wit. From the humor of those days, homely, quaint or exquisite, but ceaselessly flow ing, has arisen a hazy enchantment that, from the distence of time, smoothes the rugged outlines of stormy scenes and paints every picture anew in lines of beauty. It was the father of Judge Underwood who took such a prejudice against Marietta, and frequently remarked that if Providence should so will he would like to die in that town, as he could leave it with less regret than any place he knew. Strange to say, Providence so willed. The Judge was called to Marietta on business; he was suddenly taken ill, and died the next day. .1 udge \V. F. Wright, who died several months ago, presided in the circuit of which Coweta formed a jiart. In the Coweta served a bailiff named Parrot, who was a favorite of Judge Wright, and a kinsman of Judge Parrot, who pre sided in the circuit of which old Cass county was a part. Oil one occasion the two judges ex changed circuits for a week or so, and Judge Parrot came down to Newnan, He was much annoyed one morning by talking* and disorder iu the court, and looked about for the bailiffs who he did not know and could not see. “Mr. Sheriff, I can’t recognize your officers; provide Jacob stall’s for these bailiffs.’’ Tlu* sheriff soon had the Jacob staffs and offered them to the bailiffs. Bailiff Parrot refused to take the one offered him, saying that lie “wouldn’t have the d —n thing,” Presently the Judge said: “Mr. Sheriff I see one of your bailiffs without a Jacob staff; how is that?” “I gave him one, sir, and In* refused to take it, and said lie wouldn’t have the d —ll thing.” “Bring the bailiff before the court.” Parrot was brought in and looked like he didn’t care whether school kept or not. “Did you say that, sir?” “Yes, I did, and l meant it; I didn’t have any use for the stick.” He was sent to jail for several days and then sent word that he would carry the staff, which he did afterwards with great dignity. Judge* Pant learned of the occurance and determined to get even with Judge Wright. The next morning lie said, in a very solemn tone: “This court on ordinary occasions, is a kind-hearted and merciful court, but tins morning it is a revengeful court. Judge Parrot has jmt my favorite bailiff in jail, and I think I will have to put the sheriff of this court iu jail.” This almost took the sheriffs breath away, as he did not understand Judge Wright's way. He soon learned that “this court was not such a revengeful court” as lie first thought.

There have been years when the loss on fully half the farms in my country has been 50 percent , of the en tire corn crop from poor seed alone. As we grow an average of more than 50,- 000 acres of corn in this country and our average per acre is usually forty bushels per acre, a little calculation will show that a reduction of the crop one half on these farms would mean a loss of about one-half million bushels. The corn crop of Ohio first reached 100,000,- 000,000 bushelsin 1872 and has already dropped below since, reaching from 5 000,000 to 15,000 bushels in excess of this figure most years. My own expe rience for ten years past leads me to be lieve that all this loss from poor seed is fhe result of culpable carelessness, and that gathering seed corn early, thorough ly curing it by lire heat will insure a per fect stand in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred. |t is never safe to neglect this, as intense cold in fhe early part of the winter, while there is still moisture in the cob, will always impair and often destroy the vitality of the seed. If you want seed that will not only grow but grow strong endure after planting cold ruins and even snow and frost there is but one way to have If and that is early gathering and fire-curing of the seed, A bushel of seed plants from six to eight acres of corn, and I have often seen years when one bushel of seed of full vitality, would have been cheap at fifty dollars to half the farmers of my neigh borhood. The best way to keep seed corn, I have found to be to put it on racks near the pipe above a stove that is in constant use through the fall and winter so that it will feel the heat every day. I have put up my seed in this way fur many years and have done no re panting in this time. Some may con sider it an qiujpasojiable time to be writ ing about seed corn, but { like to give a whack at the stupid neglect sq comnjoq ji this line whenever 1 can, and 1 sug> g‘st the plan of sending out missiona ries with paint pot and brush to orna ment tin* fences with the sentence, “Save your seed corn in October.”—Waldo F. llrown, Phil.

Chicago, Aug. 14.—The Times' special from Champagne. 111., says: “J. O. Baker, President of the Illinois Society of Engineers and professor of civil engineer ing in the University of Illinois,returned last night from a careful personal ex amination of the engineering jiroblems of the Chatsworth disaster, and an ex amination of the condition of the other bridges and culverts, and the protection of fire given those culverts, by the road officials and track hands. IXCKXDAIUSM IMPROBABLE. He favored the Times correspondent with the following: “The incendiary theory has no foundation whatever. I am unable, jiersonally, to find any cit izen of Chatsworth who have seen sus picious characters loitering about as re quired by the theory. The flames of the burning culvert were plainly seen from Chatsworth at intervals for several hours before the accidcirf. From the lay of the land they must have risen five or six feet above the track to have been seen so far. AN ATTEMPT TO PROTECT THEM. “It is plain that an attempt has been made to protect the bridges of the road from fire, but jiersonal insjiection of other culverts m that vicinity shows that it was not done so as to afford complete jirotection. Personal inspect ion along the line of the road for several miles shows that the grass and weeds are not all burned off, but many patches were left unburned, and in the immediate vicinity it was more carelessly done than elsewhere. SUFFICIENTLY STRONG. “The culvert itself was of the usual build, and had abundant strength to carry the train but for the fire which had destroyed the lower portion.” He added that he thought is probable that the fire left by the section men late in the afternoon, who by their testimony admitted that there was burning grass only forty rods away, was driven down to the culvert when they left by a slight change of wind. Otherwise it is possible that sparks from the special train of the superintendant of bridges, the last train before the fated excursion, kindled in the grass near the culvert and burned slowly for a long time and finally fired the culvert. An Important Element Of the success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money. The familiar headline “100 Doses (inn Dol lar,-' stolen by imitators, is original with and true only of Hood’s Sarsaparil la. This can easily be proven by any one who desires to test the matter. For real economy, buy only Hood's Sarsa jiarilla. Sold by all Druggists. Bob Burtlett’s Advice. My son, when you hear a man growl ing and scolding because Moody gets S2OO a week for preaching Christianity, you will perceive that lie never worries a bit because Ingersoll gets S2OO a night for preaching atheism. You will ob serve that the man who is unutterably shocked because F. Murphy gets SBSO a week for temperance work, seems to think it all right when the barkeeper takes in twice as much money in a single day. The laborer is worthy of his hire, my boy, and he is just as worthy of it in the pulpit as he is on the stump. Is the man who is honestly trying to save your soul worth less than the man who is only trying his level best to go to congress? Isn't Moody doing as good as Ingersoll? Isn’t John B. Gough as much the friend of humanity as the bar tender? Do you want to get all the good of the world for nothing, so that you may be able to pay a high juice for the bad? Remember, my boy, the good things in the world are the cheapest. Spring water costs less than corn whisky; a box of cigars will buy two or three bibles; a gallon of obi brandy costs more than a barrel of flour; a “full hand” ot poker often costs a man more in twenty min utes than his entire church subscription amounts to in three years; a state elec tion costs more than a revival of reli gion: you can sleeji in church every Sun day for nothing, if you are mean enough to deadbeat your lodgings, but a nap in a Pullman car costs you $2 every time; fifty cents for the circus and a penny for the little one to put in the missionary box; one dollar for the theatre and a jiair of trousers frayed at the end, baggy at the knees and utterly bursted as to the dome, for the jioor; the dancing lady gets $00(5 a week and the city mission ary gets SOOO a year; the horse race scoojis in about $2,000 the first day, and the church fair lasts a week, works twenty-five or thirty of the best women in America nearly to death, and comes out forty dollars in debt. Why, my boy, if you ever find yourself sneering or scoffing, because once in awhile you hear of a preacher getting a living, or even a luxurious salary, or a temperance worker making money, go out in the dark and feel ashamed of yourself, and if you don't feel above kicking a mean man kick yourself. Pre cious little does religion and charity cost the old boy, and when the money it does give is flung into his face like a bone to a dog, the donor is not benefitted by the gift and the receiver is not and certainly should not feel grateful. Get rid of that tired feeling as quick as possible. Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which gives strength, a good appetite and health. A National Bank-Teller in Luck. Mr. F. V.

Atlanta Constitution of yesterday.] Macon, Ga., August 16. —Today ti Mr. Davis came from Hazard's district and reported some facts concerning the A\ ool folk tragedy that caused a sensation. llis report is that Ilev. Mr. (’ox. a young Baptist preacher who serves Midway church, was to have spent the Friday night with Captain AVoolfolk. On ac eonnt of various delays lie never reached the place till about midnight ora little later. Another young man was with him, and as they drove up, a man driving a gray horse came away from W oolfolk s and whistled as though for a preconcer ted signal with some one else. The minister and his friend drove on to another place and spent the night. Had they stopped there the tragedy might never have occurred. A man driving a gray horse was also seen, according to the report, by a ten year-old girl the daughter of a promi nent planter, during the same evening, in tlie woods in the Woolfolk neighbor hood. Few people have believed there was an accomplice, but developments are awaited with anxiety. It is said the man with the gray horse disappeared that night and has not been seen nor heard of since. HE CUUSES HIS LAWVEI!. Mr. Frank Walker, Woolfolk’s lawyer, will leave Atlanta for Macon soon to work up testimony for his client. Walker and Woolfolk had a little spat at the jail. Woolfolk wanted to know what Walker meant by telling that he is crazy, and also said. I’ve got more sense than you have, right now. “Well,” replied Walker, “1 believe that you are crazy.” “I say that Lam not. 1 had rather die and go to hell than to be sent to the lunatic asylum.” Walker changed the subject and AA ool folk was soon conversing quite pleas antly with him. Woolfolk afterwards said that AA alker was doing what he thought was best for him. Governor Gordon lias received two urgent petitions signed by great numbers of prominent citizens of Hnzzard, War rior and Howard districts, Bibb county, asking that a special term of the Bibb Superior court be called as early as practicable for the purpose of putting Tiios. G. Woolfolk on trial for murder. The Governor has replied to these pe titions to the effect that the law gives him no power or authority in the prem ises, and that the case is altogether and absolutely in the controll of the courts. Frank 11. Walker, of Atlanta, attor ney of Tom Woolfolk, the Bibb county murderer, is out in an interview in which lie claims that he will be able to clear his client on grounds of insanity. He says lie has several plans procedure to show that W oolfolk is insane. If he fails in one of them he will resort to the others. Mr. Walker claims that Woolfolk gives the names of several residents of Bibb county who are implicated in the killing. His statement neither admits his guilt or de nies it. His whole statement is regarded as very thin and transparent. Already there are beginning to appear some very strong indications that a pled of insanity will be set up for Tom W ool folk, the murderer of his father and fam ily. One of his sisters has given it as her opinion that he is crazy; but his wife, who ought to know him pretty well, says that he is not crazy, but mean. Dresses Dyed Without Ripping.

Diggers’ Huckleberry Cordial is the weapon, a dead shot to bowel troub les. Bishop Gai.i.oway, in a recent address, referred to the letters of Hon. Jefferson Davis, in the prohibition election in Texas, as follows: “I have only one regret about the memorable contest in Texas, not so much that the amendment was defeated, for that is only temporary, but that the great name of the most distinguished Mississippian should have been used in favor of the open saloon and against moral reform. Though thoroughly na tional in my convictions, I am glad there is a star on the flag of our repub lic that answers to the name of Missis sippi. ‘T have revered the genius and admir ed the history of Hon. Jefferson Davis. It has been a source of gratification that the chief of the Lost Cause lives within the commonwealth that honored him long and trusted him implicitly, and where the balmy breezes of our const may fan his aged brow and the waves of the Southern Gulf bathe his weary feet. While neither forgetting nor apologizing for his part in the late conflict, that severed for a season the two great sec tions of our reunited country, I recall with pride his splendid services to the nation from the day he led his brave battalions on the plains of Beuna Vista to his regretful retirement from a seat in the I'nited States Senate; and since the ever-to-be-lamented war between the states. I have admired his quiet re ticence, his beautiful resignation, his manly dignity and his sublime con sciousness of unstained honor and ui ? corrupted integrity. But that his pen should have been betrayed into writing q line against the reform of the age gives me pain, and l the more regret it because a great statesman, familiar with profound constitutional problems, should have repeated the platitudes on personal liberty which have been exploded by the leading law writers of America and for ever settled by the decisions of the Su preme court of the I'nited States. I did hope that his stormy life would have a peaceful close; that his sun would go down without a fleck of cloud in the sky; but tliai unfortunate utterance will ob scure the radiance of his eventide and leave a shadow upon his memory.

Why we can get a shipload from the other side, pay the tariff and railroad it to our furnaces cheaper than it can be hauled from Lake Superior to the same place. Fntil rates can be fixed so that they can get below the cost for foreign ore there is not much use for them in our State. The Pennsylvania Steel Compa ny and the Bethlehem Iron Company are experimenting in the matter of sav ing railroad hauling by building two twenty-ton furnaces down on the Chesa peake, below Baltimore. These com panies have a joint interest in some mines in Cuba, and the ores have been landed at Philadelphia and railroaded thence to Harrisburg and Bethlehem. These Cuban ores can now be landed from the ships right at the furnaces, and there will be quite a difference in the ex penses of transportation. “The iron market is in pretty good shape now,’ ’continued Mr. Patterson. “It is recovering from the depression of the last two or three months. We are getting a good deal of foreign ore, as pecialiy of Bessemer. lam a protection ist, of course, but I am getting tired of this never ending cry against the tariff, and I am jierfectly willing to let the free traders take off’ the duties and let my furnaces remain idle a couple of years. By that time their ideas would have changed, and tariff duties would be slapped up higher than they over were. “The Democrats will be beaten out of their boots in the next presidental elec tion if the Carlisle Morrison crowd are leading. There is one Democratic State they will be sure to lose —Virginia. Everybody down there is for protection now. The recent opening up of their mineral lands has had a great effect, and even the farmers are strong tariff advo cates. I have made several business trips through the State, and know the temper of the people.” The Bluegilvss Country.
