I i—— —
Coast Defenses.
Referring to a recent editorial in the
Telegraph relative to our coast de
fenses the Boston Advertiser says:
Our Georgia brethren are working them-
■elvea Into a needlenly uncomfortable frame
of mind. At about tbe year 1BC0 there was no
great disproportion In defensive works North
and South, circumstances made It necessary
to batter down and destroy most of the coast
defenses ot tbe South, white those ol the
North remained, and aa a precautionary meas
ure were somewhat strengthened. Tbe Geor
gia people understand perfectly why at tbe
same time the United States did
not appropriate money to Improve the
work* on the Southern coast Since tbe war,
almost nothing bat been done ot that kind in
either aectlon, and If tbe Northern cltlea are
now better p-otected than the Southern cltlea,
It la because they were to wheu the war end-
el. tu tact howerer, auch la the progress In
methods of carrying on wars that all the exist
ing fortifications are ot little wortb. There Is
no reason to suppose that when systematic
fortification la again attempted, the South will
not be as fairly treated as the North.
At the same time the South has been
neglected, while money has been spent
elsewhere. The late Secretary of the
Navy recommended that the navy
yards and works at Pensacola, Dry
Tortugaa and other places be not re
paired, giving as the reason that
they were in reach of the
enemy’s guns and could not be defend
ed. We do not know of any navy yard
not open to the same objection. The
yards and works in the South have
been as a general thing practically
abandoned, and those intheKorth sus
tained and kept in use. If, when the
coast receives tome attention from Con
gress, the Southern section gets
fair proportion, it will
be because Southern members
make a strong stand. We know very
well that some Southern. forts were
battered down, and what the cry will
be when efforts are made to rebuild
them.
In point of fact, and it may not be
out ot place to state it here, the money
spent upon coast defenses, and a large
sum will aome day he justly demanded!
ought to he used to make one
harbor as safe as another,
near as this can be
complished, but no more funds should
be expended upon Northern navy
yards. The South now presents supe
rior advantages for ship-building. We
have here, in easy reach of the coast,
the best and the cheapest iron, thobest
ship-timber, and coal in abundance,
Land nnd privileges are cheap, the cli
mate salubrious, every month of the
year a working month, and rivers and
harbors unobstructed by ice.
When the time comes for the general
government to engago in ship-building,
the Sonth must be heard from upon
these points. It is not too soon to be
gin to pave tho way for such a bearing.

Needed**Public Bathe#
The finest sport of summer is swim
ming. Nothing compares with it.
Healthful as on exercise, important
from a hygienic standpoint, it should
be encouraged in every poseible way,
But uide from swimming as a sport,
it is as a resource one of the most im
portant of accomplishments,and should
be possessed by every boy. Day after
day wo chronicle deaths that occur be
came this pleasant exercise has never
been practiced by certain unfortunate
persons, and hundreds more are
never heard of. It is safe
say that every active man feeli at some
time in hli life the need of the swim
mer’s art.
Recently n son of a prominent Mex
ican rode across the country accompa
nied by a son of the banker, Kngene
Kelly, New York. Reaching the Sa-
hlnu river, they concluded to bath*-,
and Kelly, wailing in over his head
drowned almost in reach of his com
panion. Neither coaid “swim a lick.'
Is it not singular that this accomplished
young New Yorker, brought np in
light of the ocean, educated,
polished and doubtlcu skilled in
manly spirts, had never learned
how to swim six feet to aavehii life?
It aeema incredible. And yet here in
Macon probably, every other man, if
similarly aitumled, would have perish
ed also.
Macon, five years ago, was without
public conveniences of any description.
To-day she. has a free mail delivery,
postal boxes on every comer, electric
lights, water works, an elegant theatre
and street can. The TiLaosAra, re
membering that ita assistance wu given
to these enterprises with good effect,
ventures to propose public hatha for
Macon. Think upon it, gentle
men. The coat would be comparative
ly amnll and the revenue large. Water
and space are plentiful. The city needs
public baths and will support them
liberally, if properly conducted. Their
effect upon the health of the place will
be beyond meuure,sndit will place the
young in a position to perfect them
selves in swimming. Every boy should
learn to awim; and every girl, also
A Wrecked Agricultural Department#
It begins to appear that the rascals
have been turned out of the Agricul
tural Department none too soon. An
examination of the books and cash
reveals the fact that there hu been
great waste of funds fn all the divis
ions, and but $38 left on hand to pay
the expenses of the fiscal year.
Title is a sad state of affairs for an
Agricultural Department whose mission
it is to show the farmers how to he
economical and self-supporting. A
great and important division of the
government, such as the Agricultural
Department is supposed to lie, Aught
not to find itBelf reduced to $38, and
that too when the blackberry and wa
termelon crops are months off.
The trouble with the Agricultural
Department ia tbe same old trouble
with which nearly all State experiments
of a similar nature have suffered. The
men in charge are not practical, but
gifted with most visionary fancies.
Appointed upon the supposition that
all men who understand structural
botany and chemistry, and have
a half-score of agricultural maxims at
their fingers’ ends are valuable fac
tors in the great business of
planting, they carry to their work un
bounded enthusiasm and numberless
hobbies for which in the long ran the
people pay exorbitant prices. In the
Washington Agricultural Department,
the funds came to grief partly by
being applied to the purchase of seed
which cost the commissioner six times
as much as they would have cost any
body else, and the government six
times as much as they did the commis
sioner.
How much Monsieur Le Dnc paid for
his tea experiment, or how much vari
ous Southern States have paid for
chnfas, dhuro, milomaize, and various
agricultural experiments that have
yielded nothing, is a matter o%mr-
mise only.
Technloal Education.
A correspondent of the Florida Her
ald who has been to New Orleans
writes of the boys who are at work in
the Louisiana Industrial School:
In their obscure department at the Expoll-
tlon they were each at a bench, with all neces-
■ary carpenter!' tools, btully Intent upon mak
ing a number of boxes which had been or
dered bye merchant ol this city. One ol the
boxes wu handed the Jonrnallet for examina
tion. Several unimportant detects In the
dore-talllngwcre pointed ont. A smiling tit
tle urchin itcpped np end laid: “Sir, Itlethe
third one I ever made of the kind, end It Is
only a ehort time eloee I wu pnt to tbe bench

don't yon think It good work lor a
beginner?” The qneitton wu prop
erly amwered, and the writer wu real
ly much inrpriled that eucb good work could
be done by one a tew days after beginning.

No Danger In ths Eighth.
Tho oppooition to Hon. Seaborn
Reese, member of Congress from the
Eighth district, has so far only arotued
abroad smite along the ranks. Mr.
Reese will not be beaten by anyone
nest year. He had the manliness to
stand np and denounce the internal
revenue system in the face of the
assembled whisky ring, and relates
now to follow tits parti-colored coat ol
Georgia’s great Joseph, whom an All-
wise Providence has spared unto tu for
some mysterious purpose. These facto
will not be forgotten.
Tbe Sonth cannot send to Congress
too many men of Mr. Reese’s stamp, a
fact that tbe Arcadians of tbe Eighth
thoroughly appreciate. He ia not
noisy member, striving for notice only,
bat a quiet, working member, with
plenty of purpose end considerable in
