| The Labor Problem of the Soul ll.
[ To the Editor Atlanta Journal:
Professor H. U. White, of the
University of Georgia, in a late
speech in Columbus, touches the
"key note” by which the labor prob
lem ot the South may be solved.
Let every citizen of Georgia give
the subject careful consideration,
for vary soon the planter will be
forced by foreign competition to
taken lower price for cotton, which,
at cents per pound, the price
the staple averaged to the planter
this season, brings him in debt.
What has the pi inter in the future
to expect but bankruptcy and ruin?
We may fold our arms and quietly
wait for "something to turn up,”
which we might hope would im
prove the situation, without realiz
ing the fact that India, Egypt and
other countries are formidable ri
vals in growing cotton.
The impression is general that
American cotton would never have
a rival, but a great change has
taken place. The English, au en |
terprising ami industrious people,
ever ready to fortify themselves
against contingencies, have built
railways and opened up water
courses in these provinces, that the
results in growing cotton are likely
to prove very embarrassing in the
near future to the cotton planters.
Professor White says we must
intensify farming. To be able to
lo which intelligent and scientific
laborers must he brought to work
in place of the unskilled laborer-
pl
the negro—who is incapable of re
ceiving scientific instruction. He
proposes that the State, the rail
ways, and associations of indiyidu
als, should unite in advancing the in-
tercstof the Statein the North and
West, and in Europe, where thous
ands of immigrants and thousands
of settlers a-e seeking homes and
would come South il the matter
was properly presented
To tlie unbiased and thinking mind
it will be seen that
would not necessarily
negro, hut would
and more thrifty citizens of those
who would work, while the idleri
would have to emigrate. Our lands
would improve in value by cultiva
tion, and the odium of lazy, impro-
vident people, as we of the South
are termed, would he changed to a
thrifty, prosperous and happy
people.
Let the good work go on.
Comets to lie Visible.
Prof. Lewis Iloss, of the Dudley
Observatory, at Albany, N. Y.,
has made the discovery that the
comet seen at Paris on Dec. 1 is
slowly increasing in brightness.
The increase will continue slow
until April 1, when it will begin to
be much more rapid, and by the
middle of the month will became
visible to the naked eye. Two weeks
later it will reach its maximum of
brightness, when its sppearance
will he much like that that of 1882,
and be visible at night. It will also,
as that ol 1881, he seen in the
western sky. When nearest the
earth it will only be 12,000,000
miles distant. It will retain its
brightness until May 15, when it
will gradually fade from the vision
to appear later to the people south
of the equator. The Barnard comet
is also discovered to be increasing
in brightness, but will not become
visible to the naked eye. In
August it will also disappear from
telescopic view, to reappear with
the Paris comet south of the
equator. Neither comet has a
previous recorded appearance.
Taking the greatest depth of the
ocean us five miles aud the height
of the hightest mountain as five
miles above the level of the sea,
and remembering that the globe

The criminal mysteries and trag-
c lii-s of real life surpasses anything
to he lotted in fiction. The inhabi
tants of Wapping, Connecticut, dis
covered the other day that a wo-
msn bad been kept a prisoner by
her family for twenty years. The
poor creature ucsired lo marry a
man to whom her parents objected.
For this she was locked up in a
room without any windows, and
kept in solitary confinement,besides
being otherwise cruelly treated.
The attention of the State Humane
socieiy has been called to the case,
and the parlies responsible for this
shocking outrago will be severely
dealt with. Public indignation is
wrought up to the highest pitch.
Mr. Pink Price, one of the most
succe sful young larmers in Oconee,
will this year plant but little, if any,
cotton, giving bis attention to grain
and stock-raising. Pink has lately
l ad three Jersey heifer calves drop-
ped, one of which he sold for $250,
i and refused that sum (or the other
! two. Capt. J. I. Calloway, who has
a large farm in Oglethorpe,says he
has 500 acres of the richest bottom
land sodded in Bermuda grass, and
ioi will devote his whole attention to
the production of bay, wheat and
oats. Our farmers are quitting
cotton as fast as possible.
Gen. Lew Wallace tells with
great gusto the story of a German
who opened a beer saloon in Con
stantinople. Of course Mahomem-
dans do not drink strong liquor.
But when they saw the foaming
lager they said; “By the Beard ot
the Prophet! that does not look
like wine. But by the way the gia
ours drink it, it must be good. Let
us try il!” They did try it; nu
merously; indeed, multiludinously.
And Gen. Wallace says the enter
prising man from Vienna is mak
ing an independent fortune from
good Mahommedan patronage.
The statement that Gen. Han
cock. in the crisis of a great battle,
addressed his soldiers as “gentle
men,” calls to mind the fact that a
well-known Captain in the revenue
marine was once equally courteous
in giving orders. He would order
a boat’s crew to "give way, gentle
men; lively, if yon please, gentle
men.” “That will do, gentlemen;
port watch, go below,if you please.”
As a consequenc he acquired the
name of “Gentleman F,” and al
ways had the best crew on the sta
tion.
Lula Hurst the wonderful elec
tric girl, has make a fortune, and
is now attending Shorter Female
College at Rome. She shows her
good sense by appropriating a por
tion of her money to a thorough
education. Miss Hurst still pos
sesses her electric power, but does
not exhibit in public. Miss Mattie
Lee Price, the second Georgia
Wonder, has recently married, and
it is said that she, too, retains her
magic powers unimpaired.
The discussion which has been
started about the closed doors ol
the Senate will end in opening them {
The people are being advised of the
fact that bargains are made between
Republican and Damocratic Sen
ators and the President in order to
retain political power in the hands
ol the few. This and the growing
disrespect of tho Senate, will open
its doors, curtail prerogatives (save
the toddies) and destroy so-called
Senatorial courtesy.—Macon Tele
