Cartersville will put in a bid for

This is no time for the South to
play the political toady andcring
ingly talk about northern confi¬
dence. Good-will purchased by
the sacrifice of principle, is not
worth the price paid, and we want
the north to understand that we
value our self-respect more than
we fear their opposition.—Madi¬
sonian.
R. A. Nisbet, the efficient sec¬
retary of the Georgia Agricultur¬

the honor, and would unques¬
tionably make an efficient and
zealous commissioner.
The amount of phosphate rock
mined in the rivers of South Car¬
olina for the year ending Sept.
1,1889, was 221,000 tons. This
■was an increase of about 25,000
tons over the previous year, and
as the state receives a royalty of
$1 a ton for every ton mined, $25,
000 additional was received in
her treasury.
The Manufactures’ Record is
responsible for the statement that
there is not sufficient rolling stock
in the country to handle the
freight which will be offered to
railroads during the next s>x
months. This, remarks the Bal¬
timore Herald, may be a rather
rose-colored view of tnc case, but
there is no concealing the fact
that a much greater volume of
produce must be moved from the
fields, mines and factories this
year than ever before in the bis¬
tory of the American nation.
Somebody writes if you have a
little farm and are out of debt do
not fret ami work yourself and
good wife into the grave for the
sake of making money. You
have but one life to live, and it
is very brief at best. A morbid,
insatiate desire to possess the
earth—to grab everything in
sight—is at tho foundation of
moro misery than almost any one
thing. Wealth alone will never
keep your memory green after
you are gone; a good life and
kind action will. The foregoing
is good and true advice, but still,
the fact remains that our magni¬
ficent cities are built, railways
constructed and oceans’ palaces
made by those who are restless to
accumulate great wealth. It does
not bring that halcyon peace
which we call contentment and
yet they have their place and
make their mark. The longing
for wealth open the mines of
earth, explores, discovers, invents
and keeps things stirring, but lie
who thinks that they will bring
him happiness, if he can he hap¬
py at all, is mistaken.

HONOR AND SUCCESS.
“I- do love working rnen and
working boys. If all our people
would work as they ought to what
a glorious country we would
have!” Thus spoke Maj. AV.
Brunson in our presence one day
last week. The words aro char¬
acteristic of the man. His actions
are in entire accord with his
words.
He is entirely right in highly
esteeming energy, and his esti¬
mation of the capabilities of our
county and state is well founded.
‘‘‘In the sweet of thy face shalt
thou eat bread.” “The idle brain
is the devil’s worshop.”
Energy is the foundation of
success in all undertakings, and
through its wise application
comes also health and happiness.
Energy is commendable always.
Idleness is an abomination, and
from it grows discontent, failure,
unhappiness arid lawlessness.
We do not acknowledge the
need of applying this article
locally, though we have been so
requested. The better class of
our people are not given to idle
ness, and we see the good results
of energy on every band. How¬
ever, there are many who fail to
recognize the fact that the boys
watch closely the men, and ex¬
ample becomes to tliem a law by
which their own conduct is gov
erned.
Do you think that the moments
we spend in positive idleness be¬
come an injunction to the boys
to go and do likewise? Men
should not teach by example that
idleness is commendable under
any circumstances during busi
ness liours. We do not mean
that life should lie made up of
continual manual labor—unre¬
mitting effort—for recreation is
absolutely essential to health.
But we do say there should be no
idleness when there is work to do,
within business hours.
The foregoing being correct,
it is doubly the duty of the older
members of any community to be
persistently energetic. Success
in business comes only to tliose
wlxo are wisely energetic, and
the God of the universe has com¬
manded that all men must earn
the good things of thus world
that they desire. Only to effort
does the earth yield the fullness
thereof, and only through honest
and wise work can contentment
and happiness be attained. Then
the tendency of tho young is to
the attainment of pleasure, and it
is our duty to teach them by ex¬
ample tlnit pleasure obtained
through idleness is apt to be
tainted with viciousness. Here¬
tofore we have entreated tho boys
to be energetic, not to fear work,
but to regard labor in every
sphere as honorable and conducive
to success in life. Here we desire
to emphasize the truth that tho
father is in a large measure res¬
ponsible for the idleness of the
son. An idle man cannot teach a
boy to be energetic. There is
no need that we should work to
physical exhaustion each day,
but we should not allow our sons
to see us idle when there is work
undone that needs our attention.
As the fathers are, the sons are
apt to be. Let your example
condemn idleness and commend
work.—Houston Ga., Home Jour¬
nal.

trous conflagration W ednesday

INDUSTRY AND SUCCESS.
We are continully receiving
letters from ambitious boys and
young men inquiring how they
are to succeed in life. The most
of them think that a school edu¬
cation is the main thing, while a
few have a vague idea that a
young man can educate himself
if he has the will to do so.
We have replied to these in¬
quirers as fully as possible, but
our remarks have not by any
means covered the whole ground.
Education does not always lead
to success. A school, at its best,
is merely a drill and training
ground where the mind is pre-„
pared to receive the real educa¬
tion that comes from observation
and experience.
There is a quality, or an ele¬
ment, that a boy must possess be¬
fore he can be successful. With¬
out it, he will remain a cipher.
Fortunately, it is a quality that
can be cultivated. It is variously
called energy and industry.
When a number of energetic men
get together in a community, the
result of the efforts is called en¬
Among the first things a boy
ought to learn is the necessity of
work. If he has energy and am¬
bition, he will not need to be
taught this lesson, but in nine
cases out of ten the energy and
industry of a boy are dormant
until they are brought out by
the example of older people.
In every walk of life. successful
men are those who have acquired
habits of industry in their youth.
A good deal of sentiment is ex¬
pended on the pinching poverty
that appears hero and there; but
there is nothing more wholesome
for a healthy boy than a pinch or
two of poverty. It is the spur
that gives motion as well as mo¬
tive to the body and mind. We
do not say that poverty is a des¬
irable thing, but we do say that
in this free country of ours there
never was a boy too poor to
make a man of himself, and a
successful man at that.
There can be no success with¬
out industry. A boy may be able
to repeat the contents of all the
text-books in the land, hut if he
lack energy and industry, his life
will be a dismal, if not a disas¬
trous failure.
A great responsibility rests
with parents. Children raised in
comparative idleness do not, as
a general thing, grow up to bring
honor on their father and mother.
They necessity should be work.—Constitution. taught early the

Honesty the Best Policy.
‘‘Honesty is the best policy.
How important that the young
should learn the great honor at¬
tached to promptness in paying
debts, even when of the most
trifling nature. Childhood is a
precious period of life for for¬
ming sterling character, The
boy and girl who meet debts with
promptness will be possessed of
a habit when they attain man¬
hood and womanhood that will
always bring them friends and
gain them respect.
It is pre-eminently in youth
that the desire to meet obliga¬
tions may be most firmly implan¬
ted and become a permanent
posession. Children are quick to
catch the spirit of those they are
with; they soon learn to value the
same things and to strive for
them. And the desire for a
worthy object, continually striven
for and attained, grows into a
habit of tlie heart, or any oft
repeated munual operations
grows into a liabit of the hand.
And what habit can be so inesti
mable to the individual or so
valuable to society as that which
leads men and women to meet
every obligation as it arises,
gladly and speedily, with the
same satisfaction that every hon¬
est man feels in paying his debts?
A good tale is told on a young
book keeper in tliis city wlio is
said to be a good writer, but wlio
is by no means a speaker. The
young man was called on to pray
recently, and lie thought he could
write a good prayer, and why
not imagine he was writing and
“say it out loud.” So he com¬
menced: “Our dear father we do
thank thee that we have been
permitted to again assemble here
to thank thee for the many bless¬
ings that thou hast so copiously
heaped upon us, and for the
many favors that thou hast shown
us, so thanking thee for past
favors and soliciting a continu¬
ance of the same, we remain very
respectfully—Oh! hello, I am get¬
ting it mixed up.” And ho quietly
departed.—Milledgeville Clironi
cle.
A prominent planter in the
Third district of Dooly county
has a new kind of cotton that
bears in the ground and out of it.
He was telling a friend a few
days ago of it, and said that cot¬
ton bolls had actually matured
under the ground and were now
opening, and that the top of the
ground is very white from these
bolls, while the top of the _ stalks
are white to tho harvest.
The superstitious crank has
come to the front with the fol¬
lowing choice morsel, which we
find in the New York Sun: “Con¬
gressman Sunset Cox was a mem¬
ber of the Thirteen club, he died
at IS East Twelth street, N. Y.,
original list of his pall bearers
contained thirteen names, he was
five times thirteen years of age
and he was buried on Semteru
ber 13.”
