WHITIIKit AKE WE TENDING l
Are Men Auy Happier or Better Be¬
cause of the Age’s Material
Progress f
David A. Wells in Popular Science Monthly
A review of the causes of the re
cent economic diet urban ces in which
sympathetic sentiments are allowed
to predominate, is not, however,
what is needed for estimating their
present and future influence; but
rather a ieview which will array and
consider the facts and the couclu
bioDS which ean be fairly deduced
from them, apart, if possible from
the slightest humanitarian piedispo
sition. Ihe surgeon's probe that
trembles in sympathy with the quiv
ering flesh ituu which it penetrates
is not the instrumentality best adapt
ed for making a correct diagnosis.
In attempting such a review the
first point worthy of attention is,
that with tho exception of a change
unprecedented in modern times—in
the relative value of the precious
metals—all that has occurred differs
from the world’s past experience
simply iD degree and not in kind.
We have, therefore, no absolutely ua
known factors to deal with; and if
the record of the past is not as per
feet as could be desired—for it is
only a comparatively recent period
that those exact statistics which
constitute the foundation and abso
late essentials of all correct econorn
ic reasoning have been gathered—it
is nevertheless sufficiently so to in
su;o against the commission of any
serious errors in forecasting tho i'u
ture, of what in respect to industry
and society is clearly a process of
evolution. This evolution exists in
virtue of a law of constant accelera
tion of knowledge among tneu of the
forces of nature, and in acquiring a
capacity to use them for increasing
or supplementing human effort, for
the purpose of increasing and cheap
eniug tho work of production and
distribution. Thera is, furthermore,
no reason for doubting that this evo
lution is to continue, although no
one at auy one time can foretell what
are to be the next phases of develop
ment, or even so much as imagine
the ultimate goal to which such prog
ress tends. The ignorance, preju
dice and selfishness of man may op
erate in the future, as in tho past |
and at present, in obstructing this
progress; but to entirely arrest it,
or even affect a brief retrogression,
would seem to be utterly impossible.
The questions which naturally next
suggest themselves, and in fact are
being continually asked, are: Is man
kind being made happier or better
by this progress? or, on the contra
ry. is not its tendency, as Dr. Sie
mens, of Berlin, has expressed it,
‘do the destruction of all our ideals
and to coarse sensualism; to nggra
vate injustice in the distribution of
wealth; diminish to individual labor
ers the opportunities for independ
ent work, aud thereby bring them
into a more dependent position; and
finally, is not the supremacy of birth
and the sword about to be supplant
ed by the still more oppressive reign
of inherited or acquired property?’ 4

COURT NOTES.
The lawyers do not anticipate a
very busy session. Judge Stewart*
who is counsel in a number of cases’
is absent and Col. Beck’s illness will
also prevent several cases from being
heard.
Owing to the absence cf Judge
Stewart the Sunny Side cases will
not be tried this term.
It is reported that the county com
missioners propose to place a desk
inside of tho bar for each member*
in order to facilitate business. In
that cas*’, there should be a reporter’s
desk also-
T. T. Mattox was on the grand
jury for a short time yesterday, but
will not be there today. Before
Christmas he lived up near Cres
well, when he was snbpoauaod to go
on the grand jury, bntsboitly after
ward he moved tc the western edge
of Coweta. Having a case at thi«
term of couit, however, came down
on the Carrollton train yesterday
morning and was duly sworn in, but
was afterward persuaded to resign,
although he explained that he still
Lada horse in the country. The lit
tie two dollars a d *y would have paid
his expenses while here. This is not
the first time people from other couu
ties have set red on Spalding grand
nries, a gentleman from Brooks Sta
tion having once been on for a week.
It does look as if there ought to bo
enough good and responsible, men in
the county to fill the panel.
Jno. F. Stilwell is foreman of the
grand jury and J. C. Ransom c erk—
both capable and exponenc d men
for their positions. The other person
nel of tbo grand jury is also exco
lent.
SORE WHOLESOME ADVICE
Uiven to His Brother Farmers by
Cousin Dixie.
Haralson, Ga., Feb. 1st, 1888.
Editor News —The word Farmers
Alliance means “Pay ns you go, keep
out of debt, buy nothing that you
can do witbsut.’' Now, brother
farmers, let me whisper a little Be
cret to yon and you only and espe
cinlly you farmers who suppose that
it is cheaper to buy flour than it is to
sow wheat—a fatal mistake, it is
too late now to mend that error, but
let me beg you to sow largely in oats.
Plant two thirds corn and one third
cotton; prepare your land well, use
best standard fertilizers judiciously:
cultivate closely aud at seed time
and harvest your graneries wil lbe
filled, your cotton will be a surplus
and you can hold it til! tho spinners
are obliged to pay yon your price
for it. After oats sow peas, gather
the fruit and let vines rot on ground
and enrich your almost exhausted
soil8. Plant sorghnm for fattening
hogs, cattle and even mules,- spend
your spare moments around home
beautifying your homes. Now ouo
word in reference to impositions:
There p is on the statute hooks of
Georgia a law passed about 1882,
that no warehouseman shall charge
more than ten (10) cents per bale
for weighing cotton. The penalty if
said law is not obeyed shall pay a fine
of not more than three hundred doi
lars for first offense, (examine the
code of Georgia under cotton), Now,
some warehousemen charge 25 cents
per bale. VVhat is our duty, brother
farmers* Other warehousemen
charge tho farmer nothing apparent
ly (Senoia for instance), but lack on
to the bnyer from 25 to 50 cents* to
the bale. Now who puys that 25 or
50 cents? Tho farmer, of coarse, bo
cause the buyer deducts that from
the quoted price of cotton-' Do you
see the point? AgaiD, the buyer
runs a 15 inch gimlet into your cot
ton, jeiks out at least one pound for
sample, carries it to the sample room
aDd that is the last you Ete of it;
but before tho cotton season closes
all those samples are packed into
halos and sold for the benefit of the
buyer. Say Griffin buys 10,000 baleB
of cotton through tho season the
buyers make 10.000 pounds of “free’
samples, 'i uaL at. 9 cents is how
much? Now, I understand that the
Farmers Alliance means strictly
equity to all professions, farmers in
eluded. We don’t wish to break
down other professions and build
ourselves upon the rnins thereof.
Ob, no ’ But wo do desire that the
profits be divided with him who
through hot and cold, wet and dry-
digs and delves into old mother
earth for a scanty substance. Now,
brother Farmers, one more word of
adrnjnition to you and I will stop
this time, ! ut remember 1 am not
exhausted 1 y a long jump, f ?r I will
come again.
The farmer, it seems (acti< a spea :s
loud jn»t L re), must go >n town
style, in drees and turnouts, Forue
of ns can’t wear a ha*, or coal through
two seasons, w * mu-»t cast off our
j last fail's “derby” for a new style
j bat because our city cousins do, and
j we must have new turnouts if we
; have to buy on time and onr sons
and daughters must go in city style,
therefore they must keep up with tho
seasons and styles or they will be
snubbed by our city cousins. Ob,
what a fatal, fatal mistake ! A word
to the wise just here: Jehovah
ordained for a tiller of the soil to
sweat under an umbrella. If he
