DEBTOR! AND

Macon, On., Dec. 1.—Editor Ooustl-
tut.on: Of la.te there have been a
great many failures la Georgia nnd ad
Joining suites by merchants doing c
general but, ness, Many „t these fail
ures, in our op.nlon, c-juid Jiave bena
avoided by the debtor lntorining bis
creditors of the -ondltiou of bis affa
and asking their utlvlco aud aid. -
or,t.cal limes I ke the past few months
have been, tbe tendency is to become
alarmed. While there Is good ground
for It, there is nothing gy neil by at
once going to law and invoking tneaid
of tbe court* to wind up their bus ness.
This extreme measure should be tit
last resort. Tlie credHor elis>, as
rule, are lenient, and ample time and
oven aid would be extended if a dlspo-
s'tion were shown by tlie debtors of
'heir intentions to do right and a state
meat of their affair* submitted show
ing that they were solvent aud nitty
needed an extension or some ass stance
to pull them through. .Money is very
easy at the money centers aud banks
and lenders of money arc ieady
willing to let it out to the South ,,r u uy
other seotton, whon tJtey know it !i
ttafe. This he ng the case, tbo whole-
(talc merchants, especially tiios-- nlio
nre well known and whose morrantil
record for yoat* has been such as
engender confldence, are in a position
to render material benefit to their cus
tomers.
A man's good name is h’s greatest
heritage on earth and all endeavors
should be made to hold the same in
tact, not only for Ids oovn Aik,., but for
those who are near and dear and come
after him. The flctpresnLon caused by
the low price of cotton Is the worst tvt
have had 'if year*, but Dt is being grad
«a«y dispelled. The South, even with
4 1-2 owl 5 cents for cotton, is better
off than the West, where, with low
prices for their cereals, they are be* des
covered w .tb mortgages. We must alt
pull together and help one another and
show what stuff the South Is made of
by buckling down to hard work, pay
ing off our Just debts and making tho
best of existing circumscUmces. Wo
know It is tho intention of every one
to liquidate their Indebtedness and poo
Ploarestraitring ovttry effort to do so.
\\ hon they fall to pay out let them c.m-
suit -noth their creditors, and lietovoen
them dev.se tlio most suitable means
for ehe manner In whfch tlieir d»bts
ran be carried until another crop is
mated or nrrangoiucnts made with local
merchants' bnnks or factors to assist
them. R. Waxelliaum & Son. .

A short time ago a Frenchman brought

mens entirely unknown. Continuing his
researches on tho coast of France,
assumed a diver's costume to observe at
the bottom of the sea the metamorphoses
of certain mollusca impossible to cultivate
In aquaria. He was struck with the won
derful beauty of tho submarine land
scapes. and resolved to photograph what
he could, since a simple description would
savor too much of an over-vivid Imagi

Then the young scientist conceived the

the flames of tho lamp, by means of a
mechanical contrivance, powdered mag

holes on the lower aide in such a manner

One of fljo humors of heraldry Is to
be found In the rule that a lion Is only
a lion when he is rampant; in any other
attitude he is a leopard, says a writer
In the Cornhill Magazine. Most of the
qualities represented by the animals
are obvious enough, such as strength
and courage by the lion, patience by
the ass and rlellebration by the snail,
but others are a trifle far-fetched, as
politeness by -the crane, policy by the
goat and sk 11 ip music by the hart.

ing arms, or, as they are souet.mes
called, allusive arms, have always been
popular, and this is not surprising
when when thev are so simple aud ap
propriate, as, for Instance, three whelk-
shells for Shelley, a rabbit for Warren-
der, three trumpets for Call, or a liorso
for Trotter. In tlie re’.gn of Henry
VIII. family arms began to assume
a more complicated nnd elaborate char
acter, Insomuch that some of them
have been compared to a garrison well
stocked with fish, flesh and fowl. The
adoption of a fior d stylo of hrmory
was followed, as Bontell says, by the
substitution of -pictorial representa
tions, often of a frivolous and unintel-
ligble description, for the simple and
dignified insignia of true heraldry. The
sarno writer describes a grant of arms
made to a family named Tetlow tn
1700, which, iwlth thirteen other figures,
included the representation of a book
duly clasped and ornamented, having
on it a Silver penny upon tvh'ch was
written the Lord's prayer, while above
the book hovered a dove with a craw-
quill in Its beak. Th's was to com
memorate one of the family having
written the Lord’s prayer with a crow-
quiii iu the compass of a silver penny.
Although heraldic authorities have
made no direct attempt to solve the
vexed question, “When Adam delved
aud Eve span, who was then the gen
tleman?" Yet they' have assigned to
Adam two coats-of-arms. Tho first,
which was borne tn Eden before the
full—when ho needed neither coat'for
covering nor arms for dcfcnse-consls*-
od of steel gules, upon which the arms
of Eve (a shield argent) were quartered
as an escutcheon of pretense, she being
an heiress. The second coat, borne af
ter the expulsion from tlie garden, was
"paly tranche, d vlded every way, and
tinctured of every color.” The use of
furs In blazonry is, tt has been solemn
ly asserted, a relic of the garments of
skins worn by our first parents. The
second man who lived upon the earth,
Abel, was, we are told, a true gentle
man—a proor that it docs not necessa-
rly take three generations to manu
facture tho article. Cain was “no gen
tleman” by behavior, but he was the
first man who desired to have his arms
changed, "so God set his mark upon
him." Nearly all the principal char
acters In the Old Testament have been
accredited with coats-of-arms. These
are, as a rule, highly appropriate, ex
cept In the case of Joseph’s heraldic
coat, which was merely black tinctured
with white—“a chequy sable and ar
gent.,—whereas something arter the
pattern of Adam’s second coat would
surely have been more in keeping with
tho youthful Joseph's favor.to attire.
Gideon bore arms, sable, a fleece ar
gent, a chief azure gutte d'eau; David
a harp or In a field urgent; and Sam
son, gules, a lion couchant, or, within
an orla argent, semec of bees sable.
Armorial ensigns are supposed to have
received divine sanction, for God, when
prescribing unto Moses the form of
conducting the Israelites in the.r Jour
ney through the wilderness, expressly
commanded tho use of armorial signs,
say ng, “The children of Israel shall
pitch the.r tents; every man by his own
camp, and every man by his own
standard."
