■Baamwa gywns»: 11 *&rjxa CARROLL FREE PRESS, CARROLLTON, GA., Jan. il, 1S8> The Cash System. That ablo .journal, the Savannah News, in a recent issue, has the following sensible article on cash versus the credit system: The failures that have taken place among farmers and mer chants during the past year would not have been so general had it not been for the loose and unbusiness like methods which are so preva lent. Ever since the war there has been a mania for engaging in large transactions, and the idea of acquir ing sudden wealth has become so firmly fixed in the minds of the people that its eradication is a matter of extreme difficulty. The phenomenal success of a compara tively small number seems to have set the rest on fire, and they rush into all kinds of enterprises and speculations wiihout a proper knowledge of the unyielding laws of trade, and without being able to see far enough into the future to avert the disasters that even the ordinary vicissitudes of the times render inevitable. No business can have a reason able probability of success unless it is founded on adequate capital and is - conducted with prudence. A man who would be certain to succeed in an enterprise which cor responds in extent with his means, only invites disaster when he inflates his business by use of the fictitious capital which an unwise credit system renders only tempo rarily 'available. There are in stances of the success of men who tyave begun business without sub stantial cash foundations, but they are few in number, and should pnly serve to call attention to the risk involved in such cases, and to warn the many from hazarding their all on such uncertain chances. The man who goes in debt with out having a reasonable certainty of being able to meet his payments when due,does a wrong not only to his creditor, but to himself, his family, and to the communiiy. There is a degree of uncertainty in all human transactions, and it is altogether too common for men to become oversanguine, and involve themselves in debt in the hope of making lucky hits and in anticipa jion of fortunate contingencies which are of rare occurrence. • Credit is almost always dearly bought, even where the security is ample. Interest is a consuming fire that burns, day and night, and the percentage is always increas ed in proportion to the risk the Creditor takes,and in this those who pay are expected to cover the los- • ses occasioned by those who do not A farmer enlarges his operations beyond his means. Land, stock and supplies are bought on a credit; money is borrowed to pay current expenses, and perhaps he may do well for a. year or two This tempts him to greater risks. In such cases it is only a question of time when the seasons will be anfavorable, crops short, and every thing he has will be forced on the market when there is little or no r demand, and he is ruined. The name is true in regard to tne mer ' '.ehant. He buys largely on a credit / er with borrowed money. He is ■/ anxious to sell, and is tempted to <Mte freat risks by the high prices obtainable. Crop* are short, his collections fail, and bridging over his trouble* from year to year only postpones and intensifies bis distress “Misfortune, like a creditor ••vere, rt*e§ in demand for her delay”—nothing can be more true. “Bottowinp dulls the edge of hus bandry,” and buying on a credit is the axtravagant bind of bor rowing. There is but one absolute ly safe rkle to Insure success—let •very oue pay a* he goes, and he will be *ot only *ure to ltve within bia Income, but ft will not be long before a basis fbr a permanent ptrssp#rMp wfll be laid that will . prove a MaaMpj tbroufk life. Coweta Correspondence. Last Saturday night was the cold est night 1 think I ever saw in this country. They say when dish rags freeze, that the weather is suita ble for marrying and killing hogs^— if so last Saturday and Sunday was the time to celebrate these time honored institutions. But I must come to the point. Mr. Jas. Alsabroolc and Miss Anna Hairs ton ai-e married, and happy as they well can he. Mr. John l’rickett and Miss Mollie Lambert are mar ried and as happy as Adam and Eve was when they were first married. And there are a great many more just waiting at the anxious seat. Al. Thomas, who was well known to many uf your readers was ran over and killed hy the cars, near Palmetto, just before Christmas. Mr. Jack Crawford who was cut by a negro near Palmetto a short time back, died a few days ago. As 2x0 will give you the Newnan items, I will not intrude on his ter ritory. I cant tell you anything about what our farmers ace going to do this year, they so often change their plans, as spring comes in, that it is like betting on the verdict of a pettit jury, to say what they will or want do. Hearn that Major U. II. Wilkin son of Coweta is a candidate for state treasurer. He will make a good one. Running water froze over last Saturday night. The smtj.ll grain looks very sick from the late freeze. It has been 28 year since Mrs. Ripples and I were married the 0th of tiiis month and the time has been so pleasant and sweet that it eems but yesterday. A little of her beauty has faded and her head is showing grey, but still she is as gay as at sixteen, and I her Pink, still retain my original beauty. I simply make this personal allusion that people may know that we are a pretty couple. I send you some chipplings taken from the Pike County News which will interest many of your read ers. Mrs. Ripples says my Sunday breeches aint worth half soleing and she took them and made our boy Clifford a new coat, so I am laid up fora while. The Free Press takes well. Ripples.

The Columbus Times, published in a town which has been held down by monopoly, says: It is queer that railroad officials complain of the freight rates estab lished by the railroad commission as inadequate and ruinous to the railroad interests of the State, and at the same time charge more, by the schedule of the commission, than they did before the organiza tion of the commission. We sus pect the complaints originate with the dividend gatherers of Wall street and are uttered here by in struction. The railroad commis sion is an uncomfortable thorn in the side of monopolies, and the next legislature will in all proba bility be packed with members who will move for its abolition. If we thought the commission calcu lated to injure the legitimate rail road interests of the State we should favor the wiping of it out, or if we thought the present commissioners desired to deal unfairly with these companies, we would favor their removal; hut we have failed to discover either tendency, and hence we favor the commission.
