Additional Points Briefly Noticed.
In our discussion of the stock iusur
ance question, we have said nothing
about legalizing the business of the
company by having it incorporated.
We have said nothing about its being
incorporated, from the very fact that
we propose to run the business upon a
basis so solid and satisfactory, that
there will be no need to sue or be sued.
The man that is contemplating to be
sued, or is expecting to sue the com
panv, is not composed of the right ma
terial to form a part of the company.
The anticipation of such an event
presupposes that there will be some
unprincipled and rascally men, who
will come into the company seeking
undue advantages. None but those
who are expecting to play the scape
gallus will be calculating on rascality
and law suits so far ahead.
It is proposed to obligate every
member to abide by the action of a
constitutional majority, which will put
all farther debate out of the qaestion.
But, some cross grained, con
tentious man, lam gwine to contend
for my rights. The conditions upon
which every man’s rights, in this honest
farmers organization, are to be secured
will be fully set forth and clearly
defined and made known to every man.
to there need be no misunderstanding
by any one.
But, says some one, why are you so
deeply interested in the formation of
this “Farmeis Stock lusuraric Compa
nj?” Just simply to get up a reliable
system by or through which a poor
man can have an assurance of getting
help, in case ii was his misfortune to
lose his only plow mule, right in the
midst of the plow season. Just at this
| time, I could not become a member,
for I own but one small pony of a horse,
that would be valued at lets than fifty
dollars. But there are quite a number
of poor men in the county who have
mules or horses that they could have
insured, thereby providing against the
extremes of misfortune. A poor fellow
may have bis only cow to die, still
that would not stop him from running
his plow, and his wife and little children
[from following with the hoe. But

when his poor old mule kicks out of
harness, that is a serious matter with
him.
Now to help that poor brother and
neighbor of ours, is why I am so per
sistent in urging this question before
the brotherhood of farmers in our good
old county. lam going to spoil sever
al sheets of nice white paper, with my
scribblings on this subject, though it
may be called the old man’s pet hobby.
There are a number of men so heavily
impregnated with a consecrated, holy
zeal for the poor benighted heathens in
distant lands, that they are afraid the
Lord is not hearing their daily prayers
for the salvation of the poor perishing
heathens, still they never give more
than a nickel a month to rescue the
po >r perishing heathens. And when it
comes to helping the humble, poor and
destitute, living right here at home,
that never moves their loving, bleeding
hearts worth a cent. No wonder that
brazen inSJelity holds an imprudent
head aloft, here in this professed land
of devoted Christianity. Some men
have about the same sort of love and
sympathy for the poor that Willis
Fields had for his hogs, when he went
off and left them, without anything to
feed them with, only, tell Albert to
give them some water, and pray for
them. I guess Albert’s prayers bene
fitted the poor hungry hogs wonderful
ly. Just water and prayers alone
makes mighty thin soup, when we
could add a little meal and make gruel.
W. T. G.
Don’t worry and fret, for it is of
no use, don’t scowl and get your back
up, if things don’t suit you. Other
people have burdens and troubles, as
well as yourself, and you maae nothing
by growling. If it paid there would be
some sense in doiug all these things,
but it don’t pay and you had as well
stop it. Besides no one likes you any
better for being like a bear.

Mr. Will Calloway had the misfor
tune to get his house burned at Babb
one night last week. The fire occur -
ed early in the night, and being discov
ered in time, by the help of neighbors
nearly all the contents of the house
were saved. From the first location
of the fire, there is said to be but little
doubt that it was iuceDdiary.
McDonough’s young people enjoyed
a new social departure last week, in
the way of a phonograph party. The
phonograph was chartered for the
evening by the young gentlemen and
placed at the residence of Col. Zachry,
where the young ladies were escorted,
and all joined in the novel entertain
ment. It was pronounced a most
delightful occasion.

As a community, Christmas was eu
joyed in and around McDonough.
The occsiou was almost free from drunk
enness, or disorderly conduct of any
kind. As a people we pride ourselves
upon the high piano we have reached

and county.
Mr. John S. Prather, an old gen

at the Central Baptist church in Atlan

attention, and the baptism was wit
nessed by a large number of people.

We understand that Mr. J. Q. Nolan,
whose severance with the East Tennes

columns, has been tendered a lucrative
position in another place, and is consid

would regret to lose Mr. Nolan’' 1 citi

his interest to remain here.

Green Crumbh-.y, an industrious and
clever colored/citizen living two or
three miles north of McDonough beats
the record as a swine raiser, so far as
we have heard to date. Within the
past nineteen months he has sold eigh
ty dollars worth of pigs from one sow,
and has three left, ready to kill as soon
as it is cold enough, which will net him
a thousand or twelve hundred pounds
of meat. Besides, the same sow has
nine youngs pigs, for the sale of which
Green says there are at least fifty ap
plications The stock is a cross between
Berkshire and large Guinea, and the
hogs are pronounced perfect pictures
by all who see them. Green is a mod
el colored citizen who deserves much
credit for his example. If his success
in raising swine can be beaten, we
should like to hear from it.
A clergyman was once annoyed by
people talking and giggling during the
service He paused, looked at the
disturbers and said : Some years since
as I was preaching, a man who sat be
fore me was constantly laughing, talk
ing and making uncouth glances. 1
paused and administered a severe
rebuke.
After the close of the services a
gentleman said to me : ‘Sir, you have
made a great mistake ; that young man
was an idiot.'
Since then I have always been afraid
to reprove those who misbehave in
church lest I should repeat that mistake
and reprove another idiot.” During
the rest of the services there was good
order.
Superior Court Clerk Allen s »ys

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WOMAN’S VIEWS OK LYNCH INUS.
Why Slie Considers Them Necessary
for Nameless Crime.
A woman writing to the Rochelle
Solid South gives her views on the lynch
as follows:
“All that has been'said on the subject
of lynchings is true, very law abiding
and sensible. But it has one great de
fect—it forgets the victim of the assault.
Say this crime has been committed
and the criminal arrested aud safely
put in a strong jail. What cosies next?
The woman who has already suffered
that which is far worse than death is
brought before the courts to testify!
Without her testimony your ci iminals
cannot he convicted. Aud now, to add
to her unspeakable woe and humilia
tion, her name is sounded from one end
of the couutry to another, and she is
pillared in her anguish for the public
gaze?
Mr. Editor, it may be for the good
of the community that lynching should
bo discountenanced and severely dealt
with. It may he expedient that one
should suffer for the good of many; hut
if that one was a modest, shrinking
woman that was dear to our heart, the
rulo would scarcely commend itself
under the circumstances. Far rather
would any delicate woman see her rav
isher go free, than to have to testify
against him and bring him to legal pun
ishment. Yea far rather would she
deliberately end her own life and lay
down its burden of shame and disgiace,
when she saw the day approaching that
was to drag her into the courts and fill
the newspaper with her name associated
with such a crime.
Long years ago I knew a woman,
young, beautiful, cuUujed, on whom
this awful sorrow canoe. The negro
was arrested and put in jail. What
then? Kluuld her husband see her
come into court and tell her shame?
Or should the wretch who ruined her
life go free? What should she do?
Let every man answer the question to
his heart as he looks on his wife or his
innocent young daughter.
Let every other crime be dealt with
by law—but do you see now why lynch
ings are the only way to deal with this?
Will the papers who have joined the
hue aud cry against the south because
of them, kindly publish this short pro
test which comes from the depths of
the heart of a woman?

Ding Politics, Anyway.
Polities are running theee United
States, and the professional politician
and chronic office seeker, be lie demo*
crat, republican or populist, is the ene
my of the people. Let. politics have
a back seat. The lawyer who enters
the field of politics soon becomes a
better politician than a lawyer and his
clients are few; the merchant soon
loams to neglect the store for the pol
itical rally, and his stock is covered
with dust aud his paper past due ; the
editor gets out a poorer paper and
loses his influence; the laborer be
comes loafer ; the farmers fence corners
and crops are overrun with weeds ; the
preacher loses his religion, and the
honest man becomes a dissembler—all
on account of politics. In the language
of a brainy Georgian, “Whatever your
calling, if you would succed in life,
let politics alone. Let the tariff, the
silver question, the bank tax, the in
come tax and all other issues that
form the political stock in trade, go to
the region where the temperature is
beyond the measurement of a ther
mometer. ou are absolutely indepen
dent of them all, if you will only
commence living at home.”—Dalton

Martial Law, or No Fight.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 30.—1 tis
by no means settled that the Corbett-
Mitchell contest will take place on
Florida soil.
The governor has announced that
he has a trump card to play and that
he is going to stop the fight. You have
noticed, probably, that the sports are
much worried to know what the trump
card is. I will tell you what I think it
is.
“If the courts sustain the athletic
club and declare that there is no statute
in the law books of Florida to stop
glove contests, the governor will wait
until the time is ripe and declare mar
tial law in Duval county. He can do
it.
“He is also sole judge as to wbat
conditions shall necessitate such a
course, and having so decided there is
no appeal. When lie decides upon a
course, uothingcan swei ve him from it.”
