A Protective Government. XtiioEal Capital. Scmething seem3 to be the mat ter -with the operation of the pro tective system in the State of Hnmbingalls. The Nonconform ist, of “Winfield, in that State, con tains tbe following sarcastic edi torial paragraph: “The Clark County Clipper comes to onr table this week laden with . 88 sheriff’s sales and foreclosure advertise ments. Congressman Peters, from that district, will remedy that by advancing the duty on sugar, silk and salt, so largely produced out in that country.” With this comes the interesting fact that Mr. W. S. McDnff writes from Atchison, Kan., to a Chicago daily saying that he cannot offord to take a pa per. “It is with deep regret” he says, “that I write you to stop my paper, but the election of Benjamin Harrison and a Republican Con gress has resulted in such hard times for the Western farmer that he must do everything. to curt ail expenses. Manufacturers reduce wages, laborers have very little with which to buy, and therefore ‘jew’ the farmer down till he does not get the cost of production. For ■'instance, the mills at this place pay 20 cents a bushel for choice white corn, will not do custom work, and if we want a bushel of • meal we have to pay 50 cents for it—20 cents for corn and 30 cents for grinding; this is straight. We get in this State 82 a ton for sorg hum, while the manufacturer clears 83.85 for making it into sugar,” Georgia Weekly Press. Atlanta Constitution. The Georgia weekly is a gbod thing, and we appreciate it. The Constititutionis pleased to see its esteemed contemporaries engaged in the laudable work of building up their respective communities, ests of our county. That is the best work of a newspa per, daily or weekly. An. Immigration Society.. JEFFERSON DAVIS, The “Memo rial Volume” now being pre pared by Rev. J. Wm.

And the good things have recently been best way to accomplish this was When electricity began to be generally used for lighting it was predicted that gas would soon be come obsolete, and the gas compa nies ruined. Not only has this prophecy failed pf fulfillment, but exactly the reverse has come to pass. In spite of the iarge expen ditures in our cities for electric lights the consumption of gas has actually increased pgr capita. Hu man nature is greedy. The more light it has the more it wants. Be sides, it takes more gas to make a light now in some cities than it formerly did. The gas men seem to bo fully able to take care of themselves. In aimost’every state of the un ion there is a healthy agitation on the subject of road improvement. In many states it results in a great, deal of practical road work and the permanent improvement of the highways this year. It is to be re- greted that Georgia is not bestir ring herself in this matter. Last- year witnessed very little improve ment in our roads. This year should not have a record in this particular which reflects so dis creditably upon us.—Macon Tele graph. added to Georgia communities through She efforts of tbe local pa pers. Lay on gentlemen, your work will not be in vain. Every successful paper is of this helpful sort When yon see some good work that ought to be done, pro pose it, and keep hitting on the same spot till something moves. There is a power in persistence, and when it is accompanied by en lightened enthusiasm it is irre sistible. Even the unjast judge who feared not God-nor man, gave way before importunity. The pub lic is a better snbject than his honor, the unjust judge. If you say or do a good thing’ithey are sure to recognize it sooner or later. But there is one thing about which the public is a little exacting. You must k|ep on doing good things. A man cannot win one victory and rest on his oars. It is tramp, tramp, tramp the boys a march ing, till we shuffle off this mortal coil. The publiois right. There is a power in keeping at it. It keeps up the momentum and conserves the energy so to speak. -Start the ball, and so long as it rolls a little tap will keep it going, but-. let it stop and yon will have to put your shoulder to it. Keep moving, that’s the thing. The principal sea fish that serves as nourishment to the human race are the skate or ray, the shark fam ily, the sturgeon, the tunny, the mackerel, the codfish, the herring, the sardine, the anchovy, the salm on and the eel. Some readers may be surprised to see the shark in cluded, but it is a numerous fami ly and all are not man-eaters. The shark fishery is a regularly estab- lieclind lished industry in Borne parts of the world. A remarkable find bus just taken place at St. Pabu, Fanisterre. On removing a granite block to the southwest of the village, a Roman flanged tile was observed, which had, apparently served as a cover to a box of wood, now fallen into decay. Inside were found over 10,- 000„small plated Roman coins ,bf Valerian, Diocletian, Constantihs, Maximus,. L.ucinius, ' Constantine the Greek, and Constantinus 1U They, are all well peeserved, and date from 260 to 360. A Safe Remedy. ‘ When a person is sick they wish more than aught else a restoration , of heulth. They are willing to take,even nauseous medicine in order to get well. With many, however, a first consideration is whether the medicine is perfectly safe. Will or will not leave any evil after-effects? Now, there is one remedy known to be perfectly safe. -It is a botanical discovery, ancf it is called Botanic Blood Balm, or B. B. B. It will not harm the’most delicate constitution, nor will a discontinuance cause a craving for its further use. It is a sure antidote _ for poison in the blood. The blood becomes poi soned in various ways. Constipa tion, urinary diffiulties and other causes of effete matter remaining in the system will cause blood im- ‘ purity or blood poison, as many call it. Symptoms of blood poison should not be neglected. B. B. B. should be taken at once. It will cure promptly, and it is not bad to take, nor will it leave any evil after-effects. J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga., writes: “Old sores covered my entire person and itched intensely night and day. For several months I could not work at all. I com menced the use of Botanic Blood Balm and began to grow better the first week, and am now sound and well, free from sores and itchin g and at work again.” The river Lys, onsite entrance into Belgium, dashes abruptly over a precipice and is lost to sight for nearly half a mile. The Meuse also has a subterranean course ex tending to a distance of six miles, while the river Dromme, in. Nor mandy, on nearing the sea, plunges into a hole 39 feet wide, known as the Pit of Soncy, from which it never reappears, except in the form of new springs, which are snpposed-to arise from the lost waters. In Derbyshire, England, there are two small streams called the Hamps and the Manifold. Formed by the union of severel small springs,they flow in the open f^ir for a short distance -and then turn in close together under the face of a hill range. Here they have made for themselves a pas sage through the solid earth, and for miles they flow underground, each maintaining its own complete individuality, until at length they re-emerge to the light by apertures only 15 yards apart. Web Wilder, a Kansas editor, asserts that there were twenty men in-the last legislature of that state who were paid by the insurance companies for their- votes and speeches. FOR DYSPEPSIA Use Brown’* Iron Bitters. Physicians recommend it All dealers keep it SL00 per bottle. Genuine has trade-mark and crossed red lines on wrapper. directly through the means of a land improvement and immigra tion association, composed of the farmers and land owners. It seems to us that the views^et forth by our Mend should readily commend themselves to thSse who have the interest and progress of their country at heart. It is a fact which no one will deny that the successf al sections are those which use the strongest and most earnest methods to obtain an influ^of live and industrious people. It is a fur ther fact that there are hundreds of acres of land in this county (and in others) which"Sre either only partially cultivated or not cnlti vatedatall: The farms throngh- ont nearly every portion of Geor gia are too large. They should be cut up. An intensive system of agricultrue should be adopted. A hundred acres mnst be made to raise the crop of double or treble the number now. This can only be accomplished by cutting the farms up and selling off to indus trious citizens. The man who de nies this has surely not informed himself as to the drift of affairs, nor has he observed the efforts be ing made by nearly every Southern State to obtain an influx of re spectable and hard working citi zens from other less favored re gions. It will cost some money to cope with other localities/ but it will pay the farmers to spend some thing to induce this immigration. The more settlers we have, the more valuable becomes the land; the greater acreage that is proper ly cultivated, the more important and progressive and influential be comes a county. These are facts which should commend themselves to the farm ers and land owners of Greene county. We hope a movement will be at once inaugurated to form a land and immigration asso ciation, and through it, push Greene county to that end sh9 so richly merits.
