NO THIRD PARTY.
* * The effort of north-western re¬
publicans to enlist southern alii—
; f ancemen in the work for a third
patty, has failed. Southern farmers
are better democrats than they are
* ailianceman, and thank heaven for
it and for the knowledge that
'.the’* solid south is >afe in the
: hands of the honest farmers
. #f this country. They maybe led
astray,iuid for a time may be unable
to distinguish between friend and
foe, but they can not be led to their
* own destruction, because they are
Iffen&cfats first, last and all the time.
; FOR HUMANITY’S SAKE.
Wc have many times called the
at’ention of the grand jury at the
* sessions of the superior court,to the
•yonditlpn of our county jail. A jail
i^pot intended as a place of punish¬
ment, and It should not be so con¬
structed as to serve that purpose.
It is‘to be presumed that a man is
innocent until a jury has rendered
a verdict of guilt, Our county jail
is not fit for a human being to stay in
• Ode* day. Humanity would hesitate
to confine a best in a place where
there are no conveniences of ventila¬
tion and warlnth. Just such a place
is our county jail. It is surprising
that prisoners have not died oi' cold
Jn winter and for lack of light and
fresh air in summer. The iail is
not so constructed as to admit of im¬
provement. It must be torn d »\vn
•itffirl fi new one built, embracing the
conveniences of heat and ventila¬
tion .that.will fit it tor the abode oi
human, beings. Let our people con¬
sider this matter. Humanity de¬
mands that prisoners be confined in
a rottifm*table building.

J.EE’S IIIRTIIDAY,
Qn tlie 19th.of January, Dixie’s
land will render homage to the
mdmhry of Robert E. Lee, the man
who offered all that honor, love and
toyttlly couhl give, on the altar of
right. It has been twenty-five
years since the confederate arms
were stacked, but. time has not
weakened the south’s devetton to
the heroes'of the lost cause, and on
the 19th inst., the magic name-of
Lfc? will gather together the chival¬
ry of.the fair southland—brave men
mut fair tv omen will render loyal,
loving tribute to the memory of the
rebel chieftain who has been peace¬
fully sleeping for nearly a quarter
6f a;century in the land he loved
and served so well. We thank God
for tlie knowledge that the name
and fame of our brave dead will
never fade away from the m mory
of the south, but will be Wi SJ
handed down from sire o toi for¬
ever and ever.
We wish that the people here in
Caruesville would in some way ob¬
serve. the birthday ol Lee.
If you have made good new* yea r’s
renolutious, and will lceep them, no
haunting shadows will creap into
the last hoursjot 1891.
The, donkey who gets into an editorial
chair tony be able to please everybody . 4
but the editor who has the courage of
bis .convictions, who is too fearless and
honest to pander to prejudice for Hie
sake of gain, will have some rough sail¬
ing.
Hers is some sound advice from
Commissioner Nesbitt to the farm¬
ers of Georgia:—“Plow deep, rest
good land, raise more stock, don't
plant so much cotton.”
It is funny to hear Larry Gantt
talk about demagogues and bosses
Larry seems to be a little so*r on
them since his failure to ride into
congress or the United States Sen¬
ate on their hobbies. It is nause¬
ating to lieai* a little editor berate
large and small bosses, when it is
remembered that the little eaiior
was afraid to raise his voice against
them during the davs when Macune
and Livingston were trying to turn
Georgia over to the greatest monop¬
oly in the south. A great many
Georgia editors have been coining
off of the fence since the victory of
Gen. Gordon.
WOMAN
TO-DAY AND FIFTY YEARS
AGO.
The last half a century ^has been
pre-eminently a season of revolution
in this country. Wonderful changes
have been wrought in fifty years, but
none more marked than in the con -
dition oi the women of that day and
this. Half a century ago, woman’s
limited education and narrow field
for work, left her comparatively tin
known pub ide of her domestic life.
Further back m the early colonial
days, she was regarded as little me ra.
tnan a piece of property—a slave at
the mercy of her master. Civiliza¬
tion touched the heart of man, and
woman is being emancipated. To¬
day our best institutions of learning,
and neaily avocation in life are
opened wide to her. She has entered
the world of letters and is at home
there. As lawyer, physician, teach¬
er and in the political field, and in
every work she has undertaken, wo¬
rn m lias demonstrated her ability to
successfully cope with the sternei
sex. That tire ballot box .will be
opeued to her is no longer disputed.
It is only* a question oljtime. As we
grow m enlightenment, we grow out
of the old idea of a less advanced
age, that the work which looks to
the guarding and preserving ot a
great nation is degrading to woma<\
can robber of any of the domestic
Virtues which formed the duet at¬
traction of her sister ot hair a cent¬
ury ago. It is an unjust, disparage¬
ment of woman’s fine sensibilities
and structure to say that in igno¬
rance is her only saiety; that she can
not come m oomaut with vice with—
out becoming vicious.
Much is being said and written
against the cultured, independent
woman of to-day, and in favor of
th ’ .* In-inking, dependent ivoman of
ioriner years, whose housebofil vir¬
tues, it is urged, are painfully defi-
uarit in t’u* woman of this age.
For our p i'*-, we thank heaven for
the progress! re women of to-day.
Tin r is nothing in brains prop--
tess incompatible with a tender wife
a d mother. We are glad that wA
men are moving in a broader sphere,
for in prop3rtion as weighty things
engage liead and hand, do they
outgiowthe spiles, jealousies, gos¬
siping, and all the littleness that mar
woman*! character, and oc Ga¬
sion (welt grievous wrong.
Mrs.. M. B, Npwra^p v/rjtes:
“The woman of half a cent,ury ago
is laude 1 for her industry and do-
mesti-- virtues that kept her confined
at koine. Her virtues are us en-
during as marble but she is not the
equal of the representative woman
of to-day. 1 lie model woman of to¬
day is cultured and intelligent with
broad views iyisj Jeep ,y;n pat hi es.
She looks well to the ways of her
household but sees the needs of
others and their claims upon } JC . r
time, her influence and her purse.
She is not pushing but can hold her
own with ease and womanly grace.
She has less of the clinging tenden¬
cies of the ivy than women of yore
but she is the devoted friend and
companion of her husband. In her
eye lie reads his own mind reflected
in unity of thought and purpose,
bile stands beside him and braces
him to meet the shocks and contests
of the world’s battles. In shortshe
is a charming noble and lovable wo¬
man.”

THE PLACE IS GEORGIA.
Mott vho are willing to pay the
price, may grow rich m any country.
And the price is unceasing toil and
economy. This is the rule. It is
true that there ai e men who accumu¬
late large fortunes in a day, so to
speak, by speculation. And some
men are wiser financiers, and amass
money more rapid[j than others. But
the rule is, that men accumulate by
honest labor of either head or hand.
This ; s the only legitimate means ot
amassing a fortune. We are sorry
that some 01 the young men of otir
country are impressed with a differ¬
ent idea—with an idea that out m
golden west, money grows on
trees, and there are streams of nulk
and honey. There is no better coun¬
try on the globe than the south. It
is the promised land of the future,
destined to be the richest country in
the world. And Georgia is the be At
portiou of our southern country.
Young man don’t forsake Georgia
forthe glaring inducements the west
offers. Don’i let the love of gold
get a stronger hold upon you than
the love of homo and native land.

says:

Circle?
Many new pupils were enrolled at
the opening of Prof. Looney’s school
last jMonday Tt is gratifying to
know that the school is enjoying a
perennial boom.
When will our people learn to
raise more giain and Jmy ] e?s
cotton? Either crop will pay a great
deal better. T. II. Knox, one oi" the
most progressive farmeis in tie
county, raised more than t wo tons of
fine hay per acre last year, at a ret
profft of more than $30 per acre. Put
your finger on the man whose cotton
cjrcp equaled it.

DON’T SMOKE.
We hope there is not a boy in
Carnesvillo who uses tobacco in any
form. It is a bad habit and iti* not
manly. The boy who has a record to
make, can not afford to be unmanly
or take on bad habits before he is
out of his teens. It is the little
things that shape character, and the
boy is but the man in minature We
have known boys who think it is
manly and have to smoke, drink,
gamble and do a great mat) other
things that are a disgrace to men
old and hardened in the ways oi
wickedness. Vice is always disgust¬

PROF. LOONEY’S OPENING
SPEECH.
A large crowd was at the
Academy on the morning oi the Clh,
t© hear Prof. Looney’s opening ad¬
dress to his patrons and pupils.
To say that Morgan Looney is an
orator is to say what all who have
heard him know. lie always has the
right word for the right place, and
the elocutionary power to make his
words tell. His pathos when
wishes to be pathetic, is as touching
as ever tell from the lips ot a speak-
er, But when he wishes to be se¬
vere, his sarcasm is pungent and
stinging. The speech alluded remark¬
to was
able for one thing, its utter indepen¬
dence. lie gave his audience to un¬
derstand that, being master ot the
situation, he would submit to no # Jit-
tleness in regard to prices and no dic¬
tation to methods. He administered
mistreatments some plain, though polite rebukes for
he felt that he had re¬
ceived in the three months gone. He
gave us to understand that ho was
bound to us for only seven months
longer, and that at die end of that
t me he should consult Ins own inter¬
ests, just as of course we on our part
hav e a right to do.
Prof. Looney is a man of rare aN
taimhents and mental combinations,
as was evidenced by Ins speech on
Monday, as well as by many lectures
that he has delivered bore, H is
forces arc always marshalled, and he
is upon life spur of the momen(,what

his sarcasm polite, but cutting like a
