The use of electricity as a railway

There is some dnuger attending the

crossing the line, striking it with his

will doubtless bring such improve

AN EXPERIMENT.
The New York Times (Republican),
in order to ascertain the true politic
al status, has sent out letters to edit
ors of representative papers in the
South, requesting them to answer the
following questions:
(1) . Is the policy of the Democrat
ic party managers in harmony with
the general sentiment of the people
of your district ? If that policy ex
cites any dissatisfaction,'is it chiefly
directed against principles or persons
sustained by party leaders ?
(2) . How do your people regard
the administration of President Ar
thur?
(3) . Is there in your neighborhood
any decided expression of opinion in
regard to the tariff? If so, what is
its extent and nature V
Fifty answers received lead the
Times, Republican though it be, to
the very strong and emphatic conclu
sions that the mosses still look to the
Democracy as upholding their best
interests, material and political; that
they will forget all local differences in
defending party principles; that the
local issues which exist in several
States will be lost sight of in consid
ering national issues; that President
Arthur's administration is looked up
on ns narrow and pnrtisuu; tlmtnoth
iug good can come to the South from
it; that bis appointments are consid
ered acts of hostility; that the tiiritf
is not generally understood, and not
much iuterest is taken in it by the
musses. Some guarded coniiuoudtt-
tions of Arthur's administration come
from the Mississippi valley, and these
the Tunee explains as due entirely to
the levee proclamation.
HON. A. « >. KAO* >N.
Glynn ims spoken upon the ques
tion of candidates for Governor. We
send a strong delegation of delegates
and alternates who have a candidate.
They Mill vote for Hon. A. O. Bacon,
and in doing so will represent the
earnest wish of our people, who rec
ognize in him a devoted friend of ev
ery enterprise tending to the devel
opment of the resources of our great
State.
We want, uud we believe the mass
es of the people of Georgia want, a
thoruugb, practical, business admin
istration of affairs, and, without dis-
puiagemeut of any man who 1ms been
mentioned in this connection, believe
that Major Bacon, by past experience,
by thorough acquaintance with login
hit ion for the past ton years, by bis
tborollgb ami deep interest in and
knowledge of the two important quos
tious of the hour—-the utmost duvel
opment of our material resources and
the education of the masses—is pre
eminently the man for the times and
for tho place.
There are many other counties
along our lines of road and on our
coast whose people agree with tho
people of our county, ami who re
member that this section of the State
has always found Mujor Bacon an
earnest uud intelligent champion of
our material interests, mid we predict
that this recollection will find earnest
voice in the convention.

SILK CULTURE.
A recent number of the Atlanta
Constitution contains an interview
with a native Hungarian in that city |
who is now making an experiment in
silk growing, with great and gratify
ing success* In his .native land he
was a silk raiser by profession, and is
therefore acquainted with the various
details of the business. Early in April
he obtained 5,000 eggs of tbe silk
worm, being encouraged to do so by
tbe opinion that the climato was well
adapted to the business, and he now
has about the same number of thriv
ing worms, pursuing tbeir natural vo
cation of spinning silk with untiring
energy. The gentleman declares his
intention of removing a short dis
tance from Atlanta and there . engag
ing in silk raising as a business, de
claring bis ability to eusily net $2,500
in ten weeks, that being the time
elapsing between the hatching of the
eggs and the deposit of a fresh sup
ply by the butterfly, the last form as
sumed by the silk worm. Tbe ex
periment has beon tried by quite a
number of persons in Atlanta, all of
whom express tbeir entire satisfac
tion witti and liking for tbe business.
The experimenters give it as their
opinion that the leaves of the ossge
orange is as good, if not better, for
the food id the worms than the mul
berry, winch has always been consid
ered as almost the only food of the
little workers.
Now for the practical part of this
article. Why can’t silk be raised in
Glyuti an*F*iijoii)iug counties? Oar
climate is more salubrious, and, wc
slioijki think, even better adapted to
the thriving of the worm than Atlan
ta and North Georgia, arid both tho
mulberry and the usage orange are
known to thrive well in this section.
One, and the principal beauty to the
business, outside of tbe large profits,
is the fact that it can be just as well
carried on by women and children as
by men, as it requires no hard work,
but rather a watchful and maternal
care. There is in tbe city of Phila
delphia the “Women’s Silk Growing
Association of tbe United States,” or
ganized with a view to encouraging
this business among women, as an
easier avocation for tliein than man;,
of the occupations now followed by
them This socity will furnish pain
phlet- and other information to all
desirous of engaging in the silt cul
ture. Again we ask, will not some
one in this section give this enter
prise a trial V But little outlay is re
quired, and the returns are certainly
large enough to tempt some one in
position to give it n trial.

THE GEORGIA NEGRO.
M. Qtud, in Detroit Free Press.
The negro, os the Georgia people
say, has become unreliable in many
districts and a nuisance in others.—,
Where one works twenty loaf their
time away around the towns. Where
one is honest fifty are thieves and li
ars. Let a planter buy hogs on Mon
day and by Saturday he will have lost
the greater number. Negroes in his
employ, well fed and well paid, will
have slaughtered them. Let him buy
a blooded calf, and be is safe no long
er than a pair of eyes are watching
him. A farmer who keeps fowls must
hire someone to watch them, and it
must be some one besides a negro.—
Set a dozen negroes at work on n
farm without a boss, and in un hour
ten of them will be lying in the fence
corners. If there is a call for a po
litical meeting the farm is deserted.
They belong to orders, lodges, socie
ties, churches, etc., and things are so
mauuged that be must have nearly
every night out and about two holi
days per week. A shower of rain in
the morning uses him up for all day,
and if there is no other excuse be has
cramps or dizziness. Such are the
complaints that Georgians make. A
good white workman, such as are em
ployed in tho North, will do more
work in one day than the average ne
gro will accomplish in three. The
negro demands the same pay as white
farm laborers receive in tbe North.
His money is gone within half a day
after lie receives lt.jiuij generally |or
luxuries which his employer cannot
afford. He then begins a new month
—a siege against time. The North
would not bear hall us much from
him as tho South does. Let a thou-
saud of them stand on the streets of
Detroit day after day, as they do in
Atlanta, Macon, Montgomery and oth
er places, guffawing, disputing and
quarreling, and there would soon be
a call for a new wing at the work
house.

Hill Arp on Old Ai;-■ anxl Sweetne«n.
Ago knocks the pootry out of a man
just like marriage knocks the music
and romance out of a woman. She
quits playin' the piano in about two
1 years and takes to the sewing ma-
j chine. She quits singin and goes to
I eiuckiu and scrutuhin around. I dont
| like that. Tt always makes me sad to
see an anxious, careworn mother, and
1 it would seem like enough to scare
off her own girls horn marrvin, but
somehow it dont. The longer a man
can keep up his boyish feelings and
hilarity and pluv hoss with his little
boys, and the longor a woman can
laugh and frolic and picnic and romp
with her children the better for ’em.
When Mrs. Arp condescends to put
on her long-eared sunbonnet and go
with me and the children to the dew
berry patch, I am happy, ticks or no
ticks. That’s nn evont, that is. Dew
berries are ripe now, and we eat them
with sugar and shore enough cream,
and make pips out of em, and if sugar
was cheap or easy to get we would all
bo Imppy. No family of size and ap
petite like miue ought to go through
tbe berry season without a barrel, for
there are blm-Kberries and huckleber
ries and rusberries and cherries for
tarts, and peaches and apples for
dumplings and everything for jelly
and preserves, and a dollar’s worth of
sugar at a time is jnstau aggravation.
Mrs. Arp said yesterday she had
“rather be stinted in anything than
sugar"—“and coffee,” said I. “Well,
yes,” said she, “I can't do without
coffee”—“and plenty of butter," said
I. “Yes, and butter,” said she—“and
good flour,” said I, “and lard and
nice clothes and number 2 shoes, and
so on and so forth and so on, all of
which ends in wanting plenty of mon
ey.” Jesso.
