WEDNESDAY. JUNE 15. 1887.
JHon. James;G. Blaine sailed for Eu¬
rope on YVednesdav of last week. He
will be absent for a year or more.
The yellow fever has not reached
the mainland in Florida, and the au¬
thorities everywhere seem be be on
the guard against it.
Brunswick has nearly quadrupled
her population in the last seven years.
In 1880 it numbered 2,000; she now
approaches 8,000.
The Albany News says that the
watermelon fields present a ragged
stand, ami the plants that arc seen
look mangy.
Prosidont Cleveland says that since
the tree railway passes have been
called in lie has far fewer importu
ners for offices.
The Summerville Journal announces
that next to joining the Masonic lodge,
getting married is the most important
duty the ordinary man has to peform
in a lifetime.
“There are 220 newspapers in Geor¬
gia,and still she prospers.”—Bronwood
Reporter.
Still she prospers! Tltat’s equivalent
to saying there are f228,000 in a mau’s
pocket, and still he don’t starve.
A Florida man was recently tried
for breaking open a car, and although
the evidence was conclusive, was ac¬
quitted, because in Florida there is a
law against breaking into a house or
a vessel, but none against breaking
iuto a car.
Gov. Gordon had the misfortune to
offend a large number of voting ladies
during his recent visit to Nashville.—
At a reception he shook hands with
all the young ladies present except
one. The exception, said to be tire
most beautiful of all, he kissed. The
others wanted to be kissed, too.
Coffee has rcacncn a f>oitit where
poor people will have toquH drinking
it. The cause of the unusual rise is
due to the purchase of large quantities
of coffee by Dm Hard and other New
York speculators, who are holding for
higher prices. The consumption has
fallen off nearly fifty per cent, in the
large cities.
A number of newspapers arc twit¬
ting Judge Crisp for lieing a little too
previous in offering his congratula¬
tions during the Chattahoochee river
convention in Columbus. A
number of the New York Sun says:
“The dale now assigned, in expecta¬
tion, to the most interesting event of
the year, is the latter pari of August
next. Carry the news to Judge Crisp
at Amcricus.”
The Ocala (Fla.) paper rejiorts the
arrest in that town of Jus. E. Ogburn,
charged with murder in YV'ilkiiiKon
county, this State. It says: “The sher¬
iff made the arrest lust Saturday and
has notified the proper authorities in
our sister State of the fact. Ogburn
Is a talT, fmo-looking man, and lias
been residing in the eounty for some
time. He made no resistance when
arrested, atul tried to* prove his inno¬
cence, but afterwards told the sheriff
ho had committed the deed for which
he was arrested.”
Colonel Robert Ingersoll is evidently
no prohibitionist. He recently sent an
esteemed friend a very old jug of rare
whiskey, and with it were the follow¬
ing lines in the Colonel ( s weFr known
chirography. It is a tribute to the
“ardent” the* all old topers will enjoy,
and is entitled to lake rank along with
the editor Lamar’s tribute to the mint
julcp: “I send you some of the most
wonderful |wliiskey tiiwt ever drove
the. skeletal* from a feast or painted
landscapes in the-brain of man. It is
the mingled souls of wheat and com.
In it you will find the sunshine and the
shadow that chased each other over
the billowy fields, the breath of June,
the carol of the lark, tire dews of night,
the wealth of summer and autumn's
rich content, all golden with impris¬
oned light. Drink lt r nudyoti witthear
men and maidetTR singing the ‘Harvest
Home,’ mingled with the laughter of
children. Drink ih and you will feel
within your Wood the star-lit dawns,
the dreamy, tawny dusks of many
perfect days. For forty years this
liquid Joy has been within the happy
graves of oak, longing to touch the
Ihp of man.
M
FOR FARMERS.
From Macon Telegraph.
Certain rural editor* and politicians
propose to punish every man who fa¬
vors the protection of American in¬
dustry and labor, by reading all such
out of tlie Democratic party. The al¬
leged warrant for this inhuman cruel¬
ty is that (lie poor farmer is being
pauperized by the tariff. Very few
farmers arc being caught by such
chaff. They have been reading much
of late, and arc getting sound ideas on
all economic questions, and protection
to-day is growing almost as fast
among the farmers of Middle Georgia
as gourd vines and grass, We have
fallen upon a little piece for the farm¬
ers to readers, and reproduce it for
their especial benefit.
The Index and Appeal, of Virginia,
is as much a Southern journal as the
Macon Telegraph, and it favors pro¬
tection. The agricultural editor of the
Appeal sometimes brushes the tobac¬
co stems from his lap and indites a
very searching article. This otic is
plain and strong, and may be easily
understood. It will puzzle any free
trader to answer it, and here it is:
“Under the protection of the tariff
the small State of Vermont produces
annually twenty-seven million pounds
of butter, ten million pounds of ma¬
ple sugar, threo million pounds of wool
and one million tons of hay. With
Canada at her doors, said to be the
best sheep country in the world, and
a good stock country, could she do it
without protection! It would be im¬
possible. The British dependency
would undersell her every time.
“So with the article of potatoes, a
crop produced largely in all of the
New England States. But for the
tariff on potatoes. Canada would rush
in to supply the large Northern mar¬
kets, and the farmers of the northern
Unltod States would be met by seri
ous, if not ruinous competition.
“ So again with Floridaorangcs and
melons. But for the protection to her
own (which people as yet afforded is not high by the enough) tariff j
YVcst Indes and Bermuda could beat
her a long way.
“Farmers need protection as much
as any class in the country. Thetrou- I
ble is they ire not receiving enough of,
it. For instance, in the article of wool.
Farmers in this country should call
loudly for high tariff on all the pro¬
ducts of our soil.
“True, high tariff has a tendency to
tnakc articles manufactured in the
United Status high to the purchaser,
which purchaser is very often the far
mer. but the Increase and spread of
factories operates to bring prices down.
rn They . compete with ... and . cut each , other,
Tho farmer al.oul.l advocate the In
erca*o of faciorfee also. With high
protec ton on his crops, ami factories
increasing ami competing throughout
the countr), tending to hold mnnufac
tured articles down at the lowest IIv
ibg rates, things would be a little
itearcr equal tor the farmer, and if he
could not sell any higher than now
he wouU not be forced by foreign
l>etilion to sell lower. Besides he would
have a pcrmauenily established and
growing market for bis products.

strong tarift* to dcfciut him from the
slave and pauper labor of other lands,
and to enable him 10 support himsclt
and his well-paid help in opulence.—

can farmer.
THE SOUTH OEOKGIA LIME SINKS.
From the Albany, Ga., News.
The frequency with which deep,
round holes arc met with in this
country suggists lo many that there is
danger in traversing the woods ami
fields of this section. The earth has
been known to cave in without any
apparent reason, and a large area of
the surface sink down from twenty to
fifty feet, with trees standing just as
before, leaving straight and precipit¬
ous sides. In some instances mules
and plowmen have gone down togeth¬
er for a considerable distance, while
cattle have been lost and only discov¬
ered after they had perished for want
of food and water, being unable to ef¬
fect their escape from their prison.
While all this is known, the reasons for
It are not generally understood. This
whole section rests on a substratum of
nme rock which is honeycombed with
subterranean streams of greater or
i c88 depth. The streams have, by the
attrition of (licit* sides and banks,
won. their channel, wldoraml deeper.
I he surface water, or rain water, fall*
ing gather, from the air carbouic acid
gas, and in pcrculating through the
porous soil brings this in contact with
tUn thc Umn lime rock, disintegrates .. .. ___. a .. it slowly, , .
and it i» thus year by vear worn thin
ner ner. The 1 tic noil soil jnst in«t nv’ni* over wlieie h.a the lock
yields most readily to the action of
the gas anti water, in which great
caverns are eaten, finally becomes too
heavv for the thin arch of rock that
supports its weight and crushes it in.
The depth of the sink dependi upon
several considerations, the angles
sides made by the fracture iu the sui
lace in the earth and by the depth
the cavity immediately under. At
times the caving earth disappears and
water rises in the sink. The Blue
Spring was evidently formed in this
way, mid the swollen river and other
natural forces gradually cut the chan¬
nel through which the spring how
empties itself. The explanation was
suggested by an inquiry from a young
mau as to the uuturcot these sinks.
WHAT IS A MORTGAGE !
Palatka(Fla.) News.
A gontleiuan now residing in Palat
ka, several) ears ago had occasion, in
the ordinary transaction of business,
to call on an eminent lawyer for the
loan of a sum of money fora gentle¬
man, offering a mortgage on valuable
property as collaternl for the same.—
The lawyer had a deal of this kind of
business on hand, and asked the young
man:
“Do you know what a mortgage is ?”
“Yes,” replied the gentleman.
“l>oyou realize its full significance?’’
“Well, I don’t know that I do.”
What the lawyer said so impressed
the young man that he wrote it down. 1
Here It is, and it is full of meaning ;
“I’ll tell you,” said the lawyer, ** in
the range of sound and profane liter¬
ature perhaps thcrcis nothing record¬
ed that has such staying properties.—
A mortgage can be depended upon to
stick closer than a brother. Day after
day it is right there; nor docs the
slightest tendency to slumber impair
its vigor in the night. Night and day,
on the Sabbath and at holiday times,
without a moment’s time for rest or
recreation, the biting offspring of its
existence—interest—goes on. The sea¬
sons may change, days may run into
weeks, weeks into months, to be swal¬
lowed up in the great maw of advanc¬
ing years, but that mortgage stands
up with sleepless vigilance, with the
interest of a perennial stream, cease¬
lessly running on. Like a huge night
marc eating o..l the alec,, of some rest
less slainberer, the unpaid mortgage
rears up in its gaunt front in perpcl
ual torment to the miserable wight
who is held in its pitiless clutch. It
, holds ,, the , poor victim ... ill the . relentless
grasp of a giant. Not one hour of re¬
creation ; not one moment’s evasion
of its hideous presence—a genial sav
age of nullifying aspect while the in
terest is paid, a very devil of hopeless
destruction that payments fall.”
The irentlcmau has treasured up the
words of the great lawyer for years
and they have been of incalculable
benefit to him. They arc well worth
pasting in any man’s hat, and all the
readers of the News arc perfectly wcl
come to clip this out and preserve it
in any way they may sec fit.
