Extract from speech of Ed.i On another stank was a long
Young, of the Greensboro Herald- J^pan i n which was an old-time gin-
Journal, before the the Georgia gercake,.blackish brown in cdlor
Weekly Press Association at Car-
tersaille, July. 3rd:
“The local paper, is the sentinel
of progress and the watchdog of.
political freedom. The local pa
per comes in closest contact with
the masses of the people; it is part
of the people. We are proud of our
great dailies, but the country press
builds up every nerve, feeds every
vein, supports every fibre and
makes the great body of the state :
stroug and healthy.” He referred
to how the local papers had stood
to the people in e.very emergency
and how some of the best reforms
in Georgia were brought about
through its influence. “Let wrong
and corruption show its head,”
said he, ‘’and . the weekly press
stands ready to crush; let jobbery,
or fraud be attempted, the weekly
press sounds the alarm, the people
.take up the cry, and the effort dies
in its- conception. There is no subsi
dy for the country press of Geor
gia, It upholds the right, and just,
and true, without fear or favor:”
To labor for these.people, to rep
resent them, and fitly represent
them, is the brightest dream which-
fills our lives. Will you not give
them aid and encouragement in
their holy work? They are the ad
vance guard in the great march of
progress. Will you stimulate them
with your kindest words and sub
stantial assistance? I wish that I
had the power to ring into every
heart in Georgia the great necessi
ty which exists for ’the support of
their local papers. How necessa
ry they are to the progress of a
community; how ihdispeneible to
the proper voicing of the bound
less wealth, the limitless possibili
ties of the empire . state of the
south- .
Obi great is Georgia to-day, but
•greater still smiles the future. It
is but the dawnihgof the day of
prosperity. The great commercial
heart of Georgia throbs, and.from
the iron depths of the everlasting
hills;- from the bending fields of
golden grain; from the vast acres
where the green grass springs up
wards to the dew oniheaven; from
the murmuring rivers rushing to
the sea; the rich blood is sent
whirling back until every nerve
and fibre tingles with the electrical
fluid of, unparalleled prosperity.
The God of plenty hovers over
our grand commonwealth. From
border to border He is speeding to
day. 'He is delving into the moun
tains arid the, sparks, from the
hoofs of his flying steeds have en
kindled a thousand furnace fires,
leaping upward to the skies. He
is rushing over the low lands and
his approach it heralded by the
music of the lowing herds. He is
passing over the uplands and thb
fields reflect the golden hue of his
costly chariot. He hovers over
all Georgia to-day and the flash of
glittering trappings is the music
of peace and prosperity!
Let us welcome his coming with
outstretched arms. It is your duty
and it is bur’s! Oh^Cebrgia, our
beloved mother! Leaving thy feet
in the swelling tides; bathing thy
brows in the breath of the moun
tains, thou art our pride and our
joy! Never may tongue of ours
speak of thee save to laud thy
praise;, never may pen of ours write
of thee save tb chronicle th^fwon-
drous resources; never may hand
of ours be raised save in ffiy de
fense and to advance thee in the
great march where progress leads
and enterpise follows and prospers

When the ‘ rain came the tent

The ginger cake began swelling,
and in half an hour it had risen so
high that it looked like a single

A regular fourth of July darkey
stood gazing sorrowfully upon the
risen'mass of “spiled” sweetness,
He was an old man, a sage
among his people. He wore the
regulation black suit, second-hand
ed and faded, while his head was
adorned by a. broken down beaver
hat that had done service in ante
bellurn days. J
The old man sighed.very audibly
as a Journal reporter came up.
“What’s the matter, old man?”
asked the reporter.
“Ha! Lawd, boss, I hates ter see
all dat sweetnin’ stuff sp’iled an’

. “Ho yog know what the fourth
of July is.”
, “Who, me? In course I "does.

“Why do the colored pegple cel

“’Cause de white fokesselebrate

“Well, why did the white folks
first start it.” .
“Well, dat was ’fore my time.
You gwine back too fur me, boss.
But I’se hear ’em tell how dey cum

“How Was it?”
“Well, ef I’se up on de bible, hit

‘ No, you Are a little off there; it
wasn’t Moses.”
Well, wot wuz de gefamen’s

“Don’t you know it?”
“Course I,knows it, but I can’t

“Was it Abe Lincoln?”

Just then another shower came
up and the old darkey hobbled off
to tale shelter under one corner of
a friendlydent.
There are many negroes in
town to celebrate-the fourth with
no other idea of what it is than the
one interviewed above. -They know
it is a day of rest; gingercakes, ap

The bagging made from cotton
is much lighter and is of uniform
Weight. This is an advatage, be
cause the weight being.always the
same, it can be accurately estima
ted; whereas, jute being of differ-
ent weights, the tare is- based on
the heavier weights. The .cotton
weighs three-fourths of a politic!,
and if the same amount be used as
of jute, the crop of 7,600,000 bales
will reqtiire|45,600,0JO yards,which
will weigh 34,000,000 pounds, and
costing 12J cents per pound—the
maximum price—$5,700,000. By
allowing two per cent for waste, in
Manufacturing, the;-gross pounds
of raw cotton used in making that
amount of bagging yeai’ly will be
34,684,000 pounds,. or 79,360 bales
of 500 pounds each. Cotton is
much less inflammable than* jute,
and in consequence; it ib claimed,
will be entitled to a lower rate 5f ■
insurance. Cotton will weigh from
six to eight pounds less than jute
per bale; and it will have no lint
cotton sticking to it; therefore the
tare must be reduced eight pounds
in eottofi wrapped in cotton bag
ging. The planter will be inde
pendent of the cash market for
his low grades of cotton, and can
ship them to native southern mills
to be made into cotton bagging, at
not over 3| cents per yard; and es
timating such low grade cotton - at
six cents per pound, three-quarters
of a pound would cost 4J cents for
the cotton, making 8 cents com
plete; and at the lowest possible
estimate at. this added independ
ence of the money power to the
price of cotton, together with tfie
augmented utility of the lowest'
grades and increased demand, with
the consequent shortage . in total
crop produced by this manufact
ure, the price of the entire cotton
crop could not fail to be very ma
terially augmented. This is va
riously estimated at from J of a
cent to 1J cents per pound. But
say the very lowest,^or J cent per
pound increase ,dn the entire crop.
The encouragement of domestic
manufactures from domestic 'ma
terial, will also stimulate the mar

Among the many congresses to
be held during the Paris exhibi
tion, there will be one on athletic
education, and its promoters have
addressed a circular to the heads
of English schools and semina
ries. M. Jules Simon and those
who signed with him, recognizing
the deficiency of Athletic training
among the French youthj ask the
English sehoolkeepers to attend
the congress or to answer certain
question^. For example, the head
master is requested to enumerate
the games played at school, and
give the chief: rules. How many
hours do the boys play a day or a
week? What percentage attend
gymnastics, fencing, military drill,
rowing, bicycling? Are the boys
allowed to form sporting associa
tions? The French nation ; seenis
to be in earnest about making its
young men go to the cricket
grounds for their exercise instead
of to the boulevards.
A writer to the New York Week
ly says:
* Now, a chronic borrower is a
deadly.. nuisance in any communi
ty. A woman who is always “just
out” of saleratus will stir up more
trouble in a neighborhood • than a
mad dog and a flock of fifteen hens
and a rooster.
She will run in oh you at any
and all hours, and want to borrow
just a little sugar or spice, till she
can sOiid to the grocer’s. She did
not know she was. anywhere near
out until she went about her cook
ing, and then found she hadn’t a
dust of sugar in the lioirie, and
not > soul abound' anywhere that
she could send out after any.
She will tell you that she does
so hate to trouble you; for if ; there
is anything on earth she does dis
like to do it is^o borrow—and she
never does it when she can helprit;.
bat now her pie Crusts were all oh
the plates, and she was obliged to,
because she could not|gspare the
time to run to the gro'cer’s. And
she will sit down in your kitchen
and stop, half an hour, and talk
about everybody in town; and
meanwhile she will take an ac
count of everything her eyes fall
on, and she will see behind your
stove the cobwebs that- m you forgot
to brush down this morning;’ and
she will notice the old boots that
your husband left on the woodbox
to dry, .and she will 'see that your
lamp chimneys have not been
washed, and that you dishes are in
the sink; and that you had ham
for breakfast by . the spatter of
grease on the stove; and when she
goes into some other neighbor’s
house on a borrowing expedition
she will give a report , of what sh4^
saw iii your kitchen, and swear the
neighbor over to eternal secrecy
regarding it; and the consequence
will be that in a week it .will be
all over the town that your' folks
live on ham, and that you are the
most untidy housekeeper on the
footstool
When the borrower returns
what she borrows it is always in a
little’ smaller measure, if indeed
she returns it at alL; and you may
congratulate yourself if you get
back the half of what belongs to
you.

Too Many Lawyers.
Quite a number of large build

The census of 1880 showed that
there were 70,000 lawyers in the
United States, or one to 715 peo
ple, including women and chil
dren. In France, the same year
the proportion. was one lawyer to"
each 6,667 of the. population. The
question to settle is whether we
have too many or too few. As
we are vastly more prosperous
than France, it may be inferred
that we have just the right num
ber, or that having prospered so
greatly with 70,000, -we ought to
double the number. O.ur protec
tionist friends, finding prosperity
co-existing with an abundance of
lawyers, might with their usual
logic argue that the lawyers had
produced the prosperity, but for
the fact that they have epInmitted ,
themselves to the proposition that
everything we have of Valne is due
to tfie protective tariff. The mul T
titude of our courts, the multipli
cation of judges, the vast amount
of litigation in progress and tfie
difficulty of getting justice, may
suggest to some 4 people that the
condition of France may, after all,
be tolerable, from a legal point of
view.—Baltimore Sun.

For'several yearn a steady at
tempt has been made in Georgia
for the passage of a law which
would levy a tax upon the
dogs of tfie state, and ' thereby^
rid us of hundreds of worthless
curs, dangerous to the people and
threatening to the sheep industry;,
of the -state. / -
When brilliant Tom Watson^of
McDuffie, (the young Stephens of
the Tenth District,) introduced a
bill in the house looking to that
end several years ago, it fell; but
the principle was a correct! jone,
and the demagogues who killed it
have been put on the retired list or.
have learned better sense. A; dog
law will pass the Georgia legisla
ture at the. adjourned -session, or
the principle will-fie made - , an is
sue in the election of representa
tives in the next. . •
> < > ' - . '• . ;
The whole matter sifted down is
simply'this. ‘ The state is overrun
with a lot of worthless dogs which
go mad through hunger, threaten
human life, and destroy hundreds
of dollars worth ef sheep annually.
They are of no earthly good, and
even their mastei^ think of them
only when the time conies for a
rabbit hunt—the balance of the
time they may. shift for themselves.
A great industry has been crip
pled by these dogs, and. the only
way in which we can rid the coun
try of them is by taxation. Other
states have adopted such laws.
Geqrgia should do it. If a dog is
of any pleasure, protection or prof
it to a man, he should be as will
ing to pay a tax upon him as he
is upon a horse. No man who
has a valuable dog will refuse.
So great has become the inter
est in this question that the faim
ers alliance in some counties are
taking action open it, and a great
petition will doubtless be present
ed to tfie next legislature of Geor
gia for tfie epaetinent. of, a dog
law, and if tfie legislature of Geor
gia refuses to act, the farmers and
the people will be heard from
later.
Georgia must have a dog law.
