No branch of industry in the south has grown more rapidly than the manufacture of Cotton, and it is not strange that it is so. The south commands superior advan¬ tages for the manufacture of cotton goods. Labor is cheaper than in other sections, the cotton is within easy reach of.tlie mills, thus saving the expenses of transporting it long distances, and the mills may be rnn theyear round. It was stated at a public meeting in Boston the other, day the manu¬ facture of cotton was increasing more rapidly in the south than in New England, and that the pros¬ pects of a still greater increase were excellent. Ten years ago there -were about 150 cotton mills in the southern states. Now there arc 235 in operation, seventeen are nearly completed, and work on forty more has been, begun. 1 be south is not going to rest on her achievements, She is going to push ahead in industrial matters until she occupies a position sec¬ ond to that ot no other section. There is no reason why the south should not manufacture the great er part of her cotton crop, All she needs is the necessary capital. Mill operatives can live cheaper in the southern states than any other section of the country, because the climate favors cheap living. The soil is productive and all kinds ot food products can be .grown i n a bundance. The rapid increase in the number of routhern cotton mills seems to indicate that the day is not distant when the cotton crop of (he south will be largely exported in the shape of manufactured goods instead of the raw material. 4 lie capital is co*tnig to accomplish this result and labor wili f dlow capital. —Savannah News. The patent office has issued a list giving the names of all woman inventors to whom patents have been granted. They unmber over •2,000. The first patent ever issued t.o a woman was ior straw weaving with silk or thread to Mary Kies This was in 1809. The second was to Mary Brush in IS 15 for a corset. A good market, fine beef, pork, and sausage kept all the time by A. B. Osborn. From the Constitution of Friday last we extract these two articles on duelling: Hickory’s” “The story of “Old duel in which he was the challeng¬ ed party, and by light had choice of weapons, has been often told. lie stipulated that his opponent and himself should sit upon two kegs of gunpowder with a lighted fuse attached to each. The climax of this novel affair was reached when “Old Hickory’s” fighting en e my ran as the lighted luse was burning dangerously near the bung hole of his keg of powder. And as he fled he heard “Old Hickory” decisively calling to him to “come back, you durned fool; there is nothing but onion seeds in these kegs. it the In the days when was pro¬ per thing to lock the dueiiists in a darkened loom and arm them with pistols, there was good stories told, One of them has been preserved A German and a Frenchman were the fighte-s. They were locked in room which was so dr;k that a they couhl not see each otner. The Frenchman described what transpired in his own peculiar style : “I know ef I shoot my pif tol ze Dutchman see bv ze flash and shoot me. So I say to myself I fi~e up ze eh : mnev, aud zen I can kill him. I keep var still, and ze Dutchman I not hear him at a ^ But when I shoot mv pistol up ze chimney to scare him, down he come.” Conyers, Ga., Tuesday, Not. % 7 , 1888. ONLY A WOMAN. Only a woman, shriveled and old! The prey of winds and prey of the cold ! Cheeks that are shrunken, Lips that were never o’er bold. Only a woman, forsaken and poor, Asking for alms at the bronze church door. Hark to the organ ! roll upon roll The waves of its music go over her soul! Silk rustles past her Faster and faster— The great bell ceases its toll. Fain would sue enter, but not for the poor Swingeih wide open the bronze church door. Only a woman, waiting alone, Icy cold on an icy cold stone, What do they cam ior her? Mumbling a. prayer for her— Giving not bread but a stone. Under rich laces their haughty hearts beat, Mocking the woes of their kin in the street. Only a woman, In the old days Hope caroled to her the happiest lays; Somebody missed her; Somebody kissed her; Somebody crowned her with praise; Somebody faced out the battle ol life; Somebody for her sake who was mother or wife. Somebody lies like a tress of her hair Light on liis hca l where the death shadows are. Some!) )dy waits for her, Opening the gates,for her; Giving delight for despair; Only a woman—nevei inoie! She is dead in the'snow at the bronze church door! Christain i ntelligcnce. The honors which have been heaped upon Carl Sehurz in Ger¬ many, where he once was denounc¬ ed as a ievolutionist, may well gratify the Germans of America, who have so steadfastly supported him in his many military, political, literary ambitions. Few men have been so versatile, Mr. Sehurz made a fair soldier, an efficient sen¬ ator, and a pure Secretary of the Interior. Of this last office it may he well to notice that it has scanda¬ lized many other incumbents. The Herald has praise for Carl Sehurz because he was brave and generous enough, during the recent campaign to speak for freedom of trade He thus proved that he could not af¬ ford, even by silence, to aid the cause of ignorance and misunstand ing. He did not dodge, although far removed from the scene of con¬ tention. The thing to be praised in Cleveland is equally praisewor¬ thy in Sehurz. There is a good deal of quiet swearing at Brother Blaine in t e republican party, especially in the republican party of Indiana, and some comes from the direction o f General Harrison’s hack yard. Un¬ questionably Brofher Blaine is the great republican giascutus. Chain¬ ed, he is dangerous; unchained, he is ju^t aow euasing greatenffariass mentto those republicans who have suddenly become leaders since Gen¬ eral Harrison’s election. A negro woman is going t iroug i Pike county now selling what she says is a letter written by Christ. She has a lot of them printed upon ebeets of paper, which she sells o cents per ner eonv copj. Of course she is meeting with encouragement among her own rade, The Unseen Hand. John Knox, the Scotch reformer, had many enemies, who sought his destrution. He was in the habit of sitting in a particular chair in ids own house, with his back (o the whidow. One evening, however, when assembling bis family, he would neither occupy his accustom¬ ed seat nor allow anybody else to do so. That very evening a bullet was sent through the window with a design to kill him. It grazed the chair lie usually occupied, and made a hole in the candlestick. It is related of Augustine that he was going on one occasion to preach at a distant town and took a guide to direct him on his way. By some means the gui le mistook his way, and got into a by oath. It was af¬ terward discovered that a party of miscreants had designed to waylay and murder him. and that his life was saved through the guide’s mis¬ take. toward, the philanthropist, was once preserved from death by what some would call mere chance, but which was no other than a special providence. Ho always set a high value on Sabbath privileges and was exact and careful in his attendance. That tie might neither increase the labor of bis servants, nor prevent their attendance on public worship, he was accustomed to walk to the chapel at Bedford, where he attended. One day a man whom he reproved for idle and dis¬ solute habits, resolved to waylay and murder him. That morning.' however, for some reason or other, he resolved to go on horseback and by a,di(fcrent road. Thus his ’life was preserved.—Christian Advo¬ cate. The concealed weapon evil is gradually disappearing. Among (he better class of people the man who carries a deadly concealed wea pon is an exception. Most men of standing and respectability are now ashamed.of carrying, habitually, a pistol or a dirk. The practice seems to indicate a desire to spill somebody’s blood, or a constant fear of danger. Vigorous prosecu¬ tion of those who violate the law against carrying deadly weapons and a healthy public sentiment will soon put an end to the deadly wea¬ pon evil. Rev. T. Pickett will most likely contest the election of Col. Candler to Congress on the grounds of fraud bribery, etc. Hon. 8. A. Darnell, of Jasper ; Hon.'George S. Thomas, of Atlanta, and others, have either been employed or spoken to to pros¬ ecute the contest. Col, Candler will probably be legally served with notice of contest tho latter part of this week or the first of next, at any rate before Dec. 6. A saddle colored negro, claiming to he a lawyer from New York, ar¬ rived at Powder Springs a few days ago, and on the strength of Harri¬ son’s election told the neirroes that he was sent out to buy up all the lands he could and sell them to ne¬ groes on twenty years’ time at 6 pereent.^»His charge for inspecting a farm was from $10 to $12, which every one that wanted to buy had to pay in advance, and he was to meet them in Marietta Saturday and make them deeds to the firms. He picked up a few hundred dollars and skipped by the light of the Moon. The Sparta Ishmaelits says that town fed farmers are agricultural humbugs, Germany has arranged to in $50,000 000 in new war vessels, E ^ land is 8pflB dinga large amount in Raino and France has that she mil8t have fron tfep fortrosspH r , 0ht i n g $200,000,000. , - Meanwhile, the United States grow J richer at the rate of $2,500,000 a day. No. 4-0. Two Good Planks, The Alliance folks teach among others two pi in eipbs that this pa¬ per cordially endorses. It is doing all in its power to in¬ duce its members to abandon the credit system. Then again, it is well know that it insists that its lumbers. if so unfortunate as to get in debt, shall pay such obligations promptly. If the Alliance taught nothing else it could be excused and ap¬ plauded for its existence. The next best thing to keep out of debt is to discharge those debts promptly. But don’t go in. You can’t live much less prosper, paying the ruin¬ ous rates of interest necessary to secure money in this country. No business can stand it; banking,mer¬ chandising, professional or fanning. It is impossible, for live years in succession, to dig bread and meat and twenty per cent, out of the ground. It won,t come. Senator Lyle introduced the fol¬ lowing bill in the Senate Monday last: “A bill to provide for the sale of spinluous or malt liquors in the city of Covington, in quantities of not less than one quart, for medi¬ cinal, scientific, manufacturing and sacramental use, to piovide for the regulation ot the same and for oth purposes.’’ If Newton goes “dry’’ on December 8, this bill is almost s ire to become a law. If‘‘wet” bar rooms will prevail. Bishop Turner, one of the ablest and most respected colored men of the south, thinks that his race could do a great deal for themselves ar.d for their section of the country by engaging in commerce with Africa, establishing agencies m that coun¬ try, and providing for emigration to It. No mor» important subject will come before the Georgia Legisla¬ ture than the bill of Hon. John I, Hall to provide for good public schools for six months. Ootlon blossoms were plentiful about Covington on Sunday, the 11th of November. But the frost caught them all napping that night. Physicians prescribe Dr, J. H.

J Norther* • Of al the ineii who arc working for (Jeonria none surpass in d-votion and unselfish tel , the Hon. W. J. Northern of Hancock. With rare judgment and common .sense he sought the cause ef the hin¬ drance or progress of the farmer. He realizes that the piosperity of the state depends on tlie prosperity of its agricul¬ ture. Without display and without pre¬ tension he has gone nn ng the farmers and talked with them afield and in the furrow. From this work he tas brought a knowledge perhaps, of the actual con¬ dition of agriculture, its needs and itt. advantages, than any private citizen Geori ia possesses. AH this has been in quiet -..id without ostentation, seeking no reward save that which come from serving the people and advancing the public interest. Of th» men who stand f ir Georgia, none deserve more praise than the Ihn. W J. Nor then —Constitution.
