Richmond.V 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 n h ] I“Tha Greatest Curo * n Earth other for Pain.” kmown ivm-E Willi ■rulioro ■ mora quickly than Kheumatism, any Neuralgia,? nty: Rwi lling* Stiff Neck, Bruises,( .

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.

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.

"That Miss Jones is a niceslooking gill, isn’t she?” “Yes, and she’d be the belle of the town if it wasn’t for one thing.” -What’s that ?” “She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas¬ ant to be near ber. She has tried a dozen things aud nothing helps her. I am sorry, jor I like her, but that doesn’t moke it any less disagreeable for one to be around ber.” Now if she had used Dr. image’s Cat* arrh Remeiy, there would hrve been uothiDg of the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every time.
