INCREASE O p TUI NATIONAL
DEBT.
For ninny year* it linn been the
pride of the American people to con
stantly decrease the national debt
created through the Civil war, and in
this respect they surpassed all other
nations similarly encumbered. Of
late, however, the debt, instead of
decreasing, has been growing, and
there is no chance for a decrease un
der the present National Administra
tion and its policy. In 1800, the year
after the close of the civil war,‘the
public debt amounted to $2,773,000,-
1)00. Since then it has boon gradually
decreased, until in 1800 the total in
terest bearing debt had been reduced
to $08o,t)37,100. ’From that year on
the increase commenced. The advo
cates of the gold stnndaril prevailed
upon the Administration to maintain a
useless gold reserve, and In order to
comply wit h t.lioir demands the Treas
ury issued Interest-bearing bonds.
Thus the financial trust was grati
fied at the expense of the people, and
the interest-bearing public debt, in
stead of decreasing as it had done
since the close of the civil w.a, !,. gtu;
to climb up again, until Jtt the close of
the last fiscal year It had reached the
amount of $847,307,470. Since then
a further increase has taken place,
and, according to last month's Treas-
tiry statement, the interest -bearing
debt amounted to $1,045,775,200, an ,
increase of nearly $400,000,000 In the
pnst six yenrs. From 1885 to 1803
the debt had been reduced by nearly
'$000,000,000; since then it has been
increased nearly that amount.
Commenting upon this state of
.things, the Denver Post does not tuke
a very hopeful view, and Buys tliut
“the financial policy of the Adminis
tration lias not been conducted in the
interest of the people. The war taxes
no longer provide sufficient revenues
and must be increased; the burden of
taxation must be made heavier in I
order to overcome the constantly
growing deficit, or else the National
Treasury must resort to another issue
of Interest-bearing bonds, which, of
course, meuus a further increase of
tho burdens for many years to come." 1
Not one-fifth of the bonds of pri
vate and public corporations, required
to lie registered* with the Secretary of
State, have been put on the records,
notwithstanding tho warning of the
statute of 187(1 that for eacli and every
bond not recorded there is a penalty
of a tine of $500, one-half of which is
to go to the informer. Whether by
oversight or ignorance tills state of
affairs exists lias not been ascertain
ed, but a recent cheeking of the books
of the Secretary of State’s otflce hns
developed the fact that thousands and
thousands have been issued and many
redeemed that never saw the Secre
tary of State’s office, whore the law
prescribes that all must be regularly
recorded, providing in the same
statute the fee for the record that is
to be made.

Weeping Jeremiahs.
Houston (Tex.) Post.
It may bo futile to point these
weeping Jeremiahs to the fact that
civilization is not destroyed by tem
porary outbursts of passion and sav
agery, but that is the historical fact.
It was not the fierce thunder storm
of the reign of terror that destroyed,
but preserved, civiliza.ion in France.
The daqger came from the steady
growth of corruption and bestiality
snd effeminacy in France that pre
ceded the point where popular pas
sion burst in fury and filled Paris’
gutters with blood! Civilization is
destroyed by wasting aud not violent
processes.
If reports in the Chicago press be ■
true, civilization is receiving more
deadly blows daily and nightly in
Chicago than in the whole State of
Georgia. Life is as unsafe aud crime
is us rampant in Chicago as in any
part of the South, while the vile and
bestial practices for which that city is
notorious are more directly under
mining civilization than all the lynch-
ings of rape fiends that have ever oc
curred in the country.
The difference alone in the protec
tion and estimate of women iu Chica
go and in Georgia renders the former
an expanding Sodom, prostituting
civilization, while the latter is up
holding even in fire and blood modern
civilization’s basic principles—the
sanctity of home and the honor of
woman!

* A War-Time Incident.
Editor Herald and Aiivkrtihkii:
Perhaps the little article in your
last issue, with reference to Dr. Stacy
and myself, needs some explanation.
About two weeks before the battle
of Chickamauga I was returning to
the camp one evening from a hard
day’s labor on a fort about two miles
distant. Before I had gotten half
way I chanced to look back and ob
served a gentleman dressed in black,
some distance behind, apparently en
deavoring to overtake me. I slackened
my pace and we were soon together.
“Good eveningh, soldier,” said he,
“Stacy is my name, i am a Presby
terian minister from Newnan. , I am
up here visiting the army, and try
ing to do them what little good I can
while here.”
“Smith is my name, Mr. Stacy. I
am glad to meet you. I am a Presby
terian myself, nlthoug not a church
member, having professed religiou
since I joined the army.”
A cordial handshaking ensued, fol
lowed by a conversation on religious
matters generally, but especially on
Calvinism. Something he said Caused
me to draw out my catechism. In an
Instant his kindly hand grasped my
own, and his wordH I shall never for
get: “God bless yon, my boy! That
is all 1 want to know of you. You
need not toll me a thing of your fath-
i er, nor of youc mother, nor of your
I church training. A boy who will go
j out to fight for his country with his
I gun on his shoulder and his hihlo and
1 catechism in his pocket next his heart,
I needs not another word of recoin -
1 mendation.”
I H« visited me two or throe times
j afterward, worked with us in a power-
fui revival, and was not a little
amused at the extravagancies which
he saw and heard. He returned
home, but in a few days the great
battle of Chickamauga was fought,
and here he came full tilt back to the
army, lie made his way to Walthall’s
brigade and Inquired for his onte-
clilsm hoy. Upon being informed
that I was iti tho battlefield hospital,
badly wounded, ho hurried to my side.
None but God knows how glad I was
to see him. Even as I write the tears
gather in my eyes an I remember that
blessed day, Before I thought I
sprang from the ground ou which I
lay, only to cause the blood to gush
from tho wound In my breast. He
gently chided me for my rashness,
and witl) a hand gentle as a mother’s
smoothed my brow and chafed my
cold hands until I felt very much re
lieved. He went to his valise and
got out a suit of his own underwear.
Then removing my own bloody gar
ments, and, having cleansed my body
from tho blood and dirt which made
me almost hideous, he put his own
nice, dean clothes on me, then went
to some Georgiu ladies and get some
thing nice to eat for “a young Mis
sissippi friend of his.”
1 close' this already lengthy story by
saying that, having secured from me
a description of the ground, and even
of the tree behind which the Federal
stood who shot me, he went to the
battlefield, found the tree, and next
morning came to my tent trying,
“Eddie, I have good news for you.
That Yankee 1h dead that shot you.
There is a big pool of blood behind
that tree.”
(You said it, Doctor—I declare you
Baid it.)
Ah, how time Hies I That was thir
ty-six years ugo, and yet those and
similar strange incidents are almost
as frosli and green on memory’s page
as if occurring a few months ago.
God bless Bro. Stacy I If the cate
chism boy meets hitn no more here,
he will meet him over yonder.

The Round and Square Bale.
(Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
One of the strongest points made
by the round bale people is on the
reduction of freight which would be
obtained from both land and water
carriers. They overlook the fact,
howewer, that the compresses now in
existence for compressing square
bales can give a much greater den
sity than they have been in the .habit
of giving whenever there is competi
tion to make it necessary for them to
do fo. The introduction of what is
now known as the uniform size gin-
box enables the compresses to give a
density ou the square bale of forty
pounds to the cubic foot. There have
been a number of rbund bales offered
on the Memphis market this season
by various sellers, who had the cot
ton consigned to them from the coun
try; but., so tar as we can learn, the
only purchaser has been the repre
sentative of the round bale company.
: This seems to bear out what we pre-
I viously said, viz: that spinners gen
erally huve not as yet become en
amored of tho new bale. It might be
well for the farmer to consider that
| his cotton put up under the-new pro-
| cess—Hint is, the round bale—does
i not have the benefit of much competi-
! tion in the sale of his goods. In re
gard to the samples taken from the
round bales and shown on the Mem
phis market this season, we venture
to say that not a eingle buyer among
the large number operating in this
market would dare ship cotton rep
resented by these sum pies, most of
which were largely composed of what
is known as damaged and unmer
chantable cotton. The advocates of
the round bale claim that the farmer,
under the squaro bale system, Is out
of pocket the value of the bagging
und ties he puts on the bale. They
fail, however, to call his attention to
the fact that the $1 per bale lie pays
for the use of their patent is a greater
expense to him tlian the outlay for
Hugging and ties.

HANDY.
The Angel of Death invaded this
community on the 17th Inst, and bore
from our midst the spirit of our friend
and brother, John D. Widener. Al
though known that his condition was
critical, yet the end came so suddenly
that it was a severe shock to his fam
ily aud friends. We had known Bro.
Widener for more than twenty-five
years, and ever found him to be a
quiet, industrious and unobtrusive
citizen—a lover of his church and its
sorvlcos. Bro. Widener was not an
official member, but his seat was rare
ly vacant so long ns he was able to
attend. Rev. F. J, AmD paid a beau
tiful tribute to the memory of our de
ceased brother. He leaves an aged
companion, four sous, two daughters,
and a number of grandchildren to
mourn their loss. We tender condo
lence to the bereaved ones. A lurge
congregation attended the funeral,*
which took place at Elim church, of
which he was a member.
The friends of Mrs. Sarah Uarnes
will regret to learn that she is con
fined to her bud by sickness.
Some of oar neighbors bad good
rains yesterday (Monday) evening;
but we (and a number of others) got
very little. Therefore, we are still
quite dry. OatB are Injured, and a
large acreage planted in cotton shows
very poor stands. The land is too dry
to sprout the seed.
Some time ago we asked The H. &
A. or some of its readers to explain
to us the apparent difference in the
moon’s path or course around the
earth; but as yet no one has furnished
the desired information. We believe,
however, that one gentleman has
taken the matter in band, as he sent
ub word that the moon is feminine
gender. We are encouraged to be
lieve that when he ascertains the oth
er points he will inform us; so we
will wait as patiently as we can while
he is making his investigations.
