Why they Turn to tho South,
Enqulrer*ffun.
In ouo of our exchanges wo find
this significant paragraph:
"The general passenger agent of
tbe Louisville, Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad says he
never saw such a rush south ns nt
present. More people, he says,
have emigrated to the southern
states, and especially to Florida,
in the past few months than for a
year previously. A number of
them are eastern people, though
the majority come from Chicago
and the northwest. Tbe southern
country is gradually drawing the
emigrants away from the west, as
they are beginning to realize the
fact that they can get better and
mbre profitable land in tbe south
for less money."
There is more in this than one
would imagine ut a casual .reading.
It bespeaks the general prosperity
of the south. It has often been
slated that the past few years have
witnessed a revolution in the
various manufacturing industries
of the south. Only a few days
ago we published statistics showing
that within the past two years there
has been 894,000 splndlCs added to
the machinery in the south. In'
tbe state of Georgia alone there
was an increase of 119,600 spindles.
On the first of September, at which
time our report was compiled,
Georgia had 7,860 iooms, 800,116
spindles, consumed 74,661 bales of
cotton, and employed 7,759 opera
tives. In order to show the ac
curacy of this report tho name of
each mill, where located, and the
number of spindles and looms were
given, and wc have yet to receive
tlie first correction as to any error
made. Wc therefore conclude,
that after so much painstaking and
no inacouracy being detected, that
the statistics may bo considered
reliable. Hence wc see that Geor
gia alone lias 2,967 more looms,
101,459 more spindles, consumes
3.272 more bales vs cotton, and
employed 1,410 more operatives
than is shown in the census bulletin
for 1880.
And the beauty of all this is that
this activity in industrial develop
ment 1ms gone hand in hand with
agricultural .enterprise, "o lar
from crippling the farmers it lias
infused additional energy into
them. The factories may indeed
have drawn nway a number of men
and boys, who, but for this cause,
would be engaged in form labor.
Doubtless they have done so in
many instances, but Hie general
result of manufacturing expansion
has been to enrich, not to im
poverish Ilia fanner. Tho erection
and operation of largu industrial
establishments tends to stimulate
and encourage small towns that
have heretofore been dull and
lethargic. Population increases
and the busier the wheels, the
more active the hammer, the more
numerous the blast furnaces and
forges, tho higher is tho average
standard of wealth and comfort
among the people. Tho trans
formation often wrought by indus
trial enterprises, of bamlcls into
villages, of villages into towns an l
of towns Into cities, creates new
home markets for agricultural
products. The city of Columbus
shows an evidence of this fact, and
such evidences are not wanting in
any part of tho country.
It is the success with which new
ideas in agriculture and new
methods in manufacture are meet
ing in tho south that has turned
the tide of-emigration in this
direction. No class of people will
seek a poverty-stricken country,
and tbe prosperity of the south is
so marked that none can fail to
observe it. Tbe good crops of last
year will be an impetus to this
prosperity, and will not only be of
benefit to the agricultural world, but
will have good results upon the
manufacturers of tbe country as
well. The paragraph above refer-
ed to meuns all of this.

Old conditions passed away with
the smoko of the great civil war,
and to day the people of the Sobth
arc brought face to face with cir
cumstances that demand more
trained artisans and fewer profes
sional men. As for men of leisure
we wantnoue at all. Instead of
schools in which to teach tbe clas
sics, we want technical schools in
which the boys of Georgia can ac
quire the rudiments cf mining,en
gineers, architects, contractors,
mechanical engineers, chemists,
foremen, builders, mechanics and
all other positions embraced in
material progress. We w.anMckools
that will turn out artisans instead
of lawyers, doctors and preachers.
Our colleges and universities must,
of course, be -maintained,. but if
Georgia is to retain her place as
the most enterprising southern
state, we must have more techni
cal schools. .
Beyond all questions tho fore
most feature in educational mat
ters at the present time is embrac
ed in industrial education. In every
civilized country technical schools
arc being established. Some arc
schools of trade, some .schools of
technology, and some are institu
tions of the highest grade of ap
plied science. In the larger elites
of this country ttffjre arc hundreds
of lower industrial schools in which
children are put In n way to ac
quire a common English education
and a good trade.
There is iio state in the union
that is in greator need of both
classes of industrial schools than
Georgia. We are on the eve of an
immense development of our re
sources; we are engaged in estab
lishing a new order of things. But
at present if we open A cotton mill
we have to send to other states for
n mechanical engineer and for
foremen. If we open a mine all
the higher grade employes have to
be imported. It wo build a rail
road or dig a canal tbe brainwork
of construction inures to people of
other states. And every one who
lias had an occasion lo investigate
the subject knows how difficult it
is to find in tho south close and
well trained artisans of any class.
These may be unwelcome facts,
but still it is best to understand
where we stand.
We need, in short, technical
schools, and the place for them is
in the cities of the state. There
should lie excellent Industrial
schools in Nownan, Savannah,
Macon, Columbus, Atlanta, Rome,
Amerieus, Albany, Thomasvillc,
Cartersvilie, and many other cen
tral points as well as in Athens
The Athens sohool does not meet
the demands of the Stato in tbe
direction oi technical training, hut
perhaps in the end it can become
the high p< lytechnic school of the
state. Just now, however, we need
schools of a lower grndo much
more than an Ideal institution of
this nature.
On this subject we may bo sure
ol ono thing—if wc desire to de
velop Georgia and carry her mate
rial rcsuurces to their utmost pos
sibility wo must have skilled labor
ers. If wc desire to compete in
other markets, we must train our
boys for the struggle; for it is a
fight in which tbe best brains will
win, in which there will be a sur
vival of tbe fittest. And in all this
grand work of material progress
shall the boys of Georgia remain
handicapped with ignorance, while
the prizes continue to go to States
more progressive and far-sighted ?
The only remedy is summed up in
technical culture.
Did you ever think, asks a Paris
paper, how many male and lemale
ancestors were required to bring
you into the world ? First, it was
necessary that you should have a
father and mother—that makes
two human beings. Each of them
must olso have bad a father and
mother—that makes four human
beings. Each of those /four must
have bad a father and mother—
that makes eight human beings.
And so we muqt go back for 56
generations, which brings us only
to the time of Jesus Christ. The
calculstlon thus resulting shows
that— 189,245,017,489,634,976 —
births must have taken place in
order to bring ydu into the world!

Just now there is much enquiry
about this fertilizing agent al
though it has been used in ; large
quantities for several years. Rainit
Is a natural deposit which was dis
covered- at Stress port in 'Prussia
obout the same time-that Charles
ton phosphate beds were first
brought to light. It occurs in an
Immense bed upwards of a thous
and feet in thickness and extends
under many square miles of sur
face. Its chief value is due to tbe
presence of potash in tbe form of
sulphate of potash. Chemical an
alysis shows tbe average composi
tion to be about as follows: 1
Sulphate oi Potash... .25 per cent
Sulphate of Magnesia..16 " “
Chloride of Magnesium. 6 “ “
Sulphate of Lime 11“ "
Cloride ol Sodium (common salt)
86, per oent
As already stated tho sulphate
of potash whioh.yiclds about 12
per cent, of potash (K. 0.) is the
principal active fertilizing ingredi
ent and the commercial as well as
agricultural value of the kaiuit de
pends upon tho proportion of this
salt present. The welt known man
ured effect of common hardwood
ashes depends mainly upon tbe
potash which they contain so that
wherever oak aud hickory ashes
give good results when applied to
the soil, kaimt may be applied with
certainty of benefit. Kainit also
contains u large ^percentage of
common salt, much more, indeed,
than of potash. This supplies
plant food to n very limited extent,
but its value consists in its avidity
for moisture which it attracts from
the sir in the soil during periods
of drouth. The sulphate of litne,
or plaster, which is also ascertained
as well as the sulphate of magnesia
(Epson suits) are also of some
value, especially in soils deficient
in lime and magnesia. Kuinlt may
now bo bought in the Atlanta
market at $18.50 per ton of 2000
pounds, and cheaper in large lots.
Dr. Hamilton on Old Bliss.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
A letter Irom New York, printed
In tho Sunday Herald in this city,
says Dr. H. Hamilton, who gained
much notoriety as consulting phy
sician in the Garfield cate, is lying
dangerously ill with a bronchial
trouble, accompanied with hem
orrhages. There is great display
of anxiety over the Doctor’s con
dition, not simply because of bis
public worth, although he stands
vory high in his profession. Tbe
anxiety is chiefly of a prurient
ohnraoter. Before Dr. Hamilton
was taken sick he declared, in ef
fect, that the late President was
dosed to death. It ia reported that
he asserts positively that, after tbe
use of morphine hail been prohibit
ed by the council of physicians,
Dr. Bliss continued its use, and
that bad it not been for this course
of treatmen tbo wound might have
been successfully probed, and the
President's life saved by judicious
surgical treatment. Dr. Hamilton
says that lie is anxious that Con
gress should investigate the subject,
and, if the subject cannot be inves
tigated in any other way, ho would
like Dr. Bliss to suo him for libel.
These statements are directly trace
able toDr.Hamilton,and (he medical
fraternity, as well as many laymen,
would like something definite in
regard to this matter, which is
promised in the shape of undeni
able prools as soon as tbe doctor’s
health will permit. There is one
thing to be said ip Dr. Hamilton’s
favor in regard to bis connection
with tbe Garfield case. He was
the last of all the hungry horde
to fill his bill for professional ser
vices, and only did so when it
was made apparent to bim that
tbe presentation of bis.bill was an
act of simple justice to himself.
