CA1B0LLT0N, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1885 CARROLL FREE PRESS. From Mie Philadelphia Times. The Secret of Long Life. Simon Cameron is about the only man I have ever known to quit pub lic life whil.e ho was still able to deal with the world. It has been something more than ten years since he went out of the Senate and voluntarily retired to Ids country home to spend the rest of his days in enjoying the best pleasures of old age. He lias travelled eight or ten thousand miles a year since, and devoted himself to his friends to and his own comfort. He loves young company. In health, spirit, and ambition he is not over forty, although lie is Turning eighty-six. He seeks men of his spirit and with blood warm enough to make them seethe rosy side of life. Ho hasn’t a single characteristic of an old man about him, and I have oft en heard 1dm say: ‘-The secret of life is to keep mov ing. Men grow old only when they sit down long enough to get rusty. I want to live just as long ns 1 can be happy. When I reach the point when my friends, standing on the corners and seeing me come up the street, say. ‘Lot’s got on the other | The Adjournment of the Legislature. The Legislature, it is expected, will adjourn Saturday to meet next July: Not very much has been ac complished, and it is not 1 probable that much would be if the session were to continue several weeks lon ger. The members want to get •home to attend to their private af fairs, and when they are influenced by that sort of feeling it is not to be expected that they will give that close attention to public business that it ought to have. ___ The important The Sham and the Real. Every good thing has its host of imitators; every genuine article its counterfeits. Bad manners and wicked habits have theirs also; but he who shams the bail never boasts of It, while they who ape the vir tues of the good or simulate the gen-: uine never hesitate to place coun- terfit before the public in their most alluring tones. When these people imitate they always chooso a pro nounced type or popular subject to copy from; and when they claim The Story of a Senator. When Nesmith was elected to the U. 8. Senate from Oregon, in the early part of the war, he had never been in Washington; never been east of theBoeky Mountains, in fact, since he emigrated as a boy to the Pacific slope to seek his fort une. He had never 3een a railroad or a locomotive until he struck the Panama road at the Isthmus, and, as he described himself, was as “green as a squash.” Upon reach ing Washington, being too bashful to present his credentials and be sworn in at once, he spent a day or two looking down upon that distin guished body from a seat in the gal lery, so as to get the hang of things a little before he ventured on the; floor. TIis diffidence wore off after a little, and his great fund of ,nnee- doteo, his fine vein of humor, his frontier frankness and originality of character and manner, drew around him warm friends of both parties. Standing one day in a group of Senators who had been questioning him concerning his ad venturous life, Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, said: “I understand Senator, that you had . never seen a railroad until you came East, and that everything of that sort In the way of modern improve ments was entirely new to you.

Wind (he Declaration of Inde pendence says about Hie rights of men was designed. Mr. Collyor went on to say, to apply equally to the rights of women and children. Under it children had rights that the home and the Church were uound to respect. The first of those rights was the birthright claim to the wisest and very best training the parent could give. The young who are approaching manhood and womanhood should see to it that their own lives are pure and right eous before they dare to assume those duties of manhood and wo manhood which include the sacred duty of training the child. They must recognize the g-*oat value of a sound body as a primal element in insuring to their children that sound health which will form a sound basis upon which to train up ajuseful and active existence. It is a right of the child to have its natural tendency to run counter to the laws of diet corrected by the pa rent, and to have the lesson enforc ed that it has no right to make an invalid of itself by such disregard of the rules of health. Another right that children have is to enjoy proper rest and recrea tion, and still another and all im portant right is is have the parent answer, tenderly - and conscienti ously, and with the best knowi- edso, those 'questions which the young ask when their awakened minds begin to 'grapple with the questions of life and eternity In atem of dyspepsia, debility. ritSi tlsm ftever and ague, lirer complainl, actively ol the kidneys and bU48tr, stipation and other organie Mal*i Hoetetter’8 Stomach Bitters 19 a l remedy, to which the medical knj hood hare lent their professional mm and which as a tonic, alteratlra sat W hold specific for disorders of tfco atMft liver aad bowels has aa onbouftaft M larlty. for sale by Druggists and Dealers.

Some of our legislative Solo us took high grounds in favor of the circus during the debate on tho tax bill. They held this perambula ting institution as leading the march of social and political recon struction, and asserted that the cir cus is a “civilizer.” Surely the fall of bathos can no deeper go. If the circulating nuis ance known as a “circus,” with its tawdry ' trappings, a few well-fed horses, a few score of ill-fed, hag gard performers, aniV'a half dozen cages of wild animals tamed by starvation and abuse to the docility of kittens, be a “civilizer” we have for many a year failed to comphe- hend the meaning of civilization. We know only that good people thank their stars when the concern moves off to afflict some other com munity with its demoralizing pres ence, that it “scoops up” and whirls off with it all the spare currency within a radius ten miles like a cy clone, and that it brings with it a hungry horde of thugs, thieves, blacklegs and others of that ilk, who put in their work with unction and success wherever they go with the circus. To this extent we think the institution is a “civilizer.” The Georgia Pacific Railway. L00AL TIME TAELE.

To render poultry raising very profitable the owner of the fowls should produce most of the food they consume. lie should keep them as the stock-raiser does cattle, sheep and pigs, chiefly for the pur pose of converting grain and other products of the soil into articles that car. be sent to market at small cost. Comparatively few farmers in this country have ever experimen ted to ascertain whether it was more profitable to I grain to. fowls than to animals. The farmers of France have become convinced that grain can bo fed to fowls to greater profit than the animals in tended for the production of meat. Americau farmers generally look upon poultry raising as very small business. No business that is ben eficial to the community and is at the same time remunerative should be despised.
