Last Saturday night as Frank

We received last week a copy of
the Students Herald, a college jour¬

Messrs. E. H. Almand and Will
Cowan for their superb delivery

and well-grounded argument in a
recent debate at that college.
OUR PLOW WORKS,
In company with Messrs. H. P.
and Z. T. Almand and W. U. Wal¬
lace , we “took in” the H. D. Ter¬
rell & Co. agricultural, works yes¬
terday morning. We were shown
through by our friend, Mr. H. D.
Terrell, the foreman and “chief
cook” of the whole business, who
is by the way, one of the pleasant
ests and cleverest gentlemen we
have ever met.
They wo'k about ten men and
turn out 1200 to 1500 scrapes and
several cultivators and planters
daily. The most wonderful part of
the operation, however, is the mak¬
ing of the scrapes. Every particle
of the work, from the cutting ot the
steel to the-punching of the scrape
is done by machinery. The shap¬
ing and setting, which requires ac¬
curate work, is done by machinery
also, "While we were there Messrs.
Guffin and Edwards, who manipu¬
late the bender and setter, were
turning out scrapes at the rate of
five to the minute. At that rate
counting ten hours to the day, three
thousand scrapes could be made
each day. Owing to sickness and
other unavoidable circumstances
Terrell & Co. could not get the
business under full operation this
season, but will, during the sum¬
mer, enlarge and put on a double
force of hands next season. This
manufactory is the result of thrift
and enterprise, and to give some
idea of its success in every way, we
will state here that there is no stock
on the market.
The salvation of the South is in
the establishing of manufactories
of her own, and every town that
fails to do its part fails of a duty
they owe their country, to say noth¬
ing of the golden opportunities for
profit that are Georgia now offered, is richer to the in
enterprising. and splendid possibili¬
resources
ties than any other country in the
world.

March is rapidly passing and
Uncle Jim Anderson has not yet
asked, “Can February March?”
Uncle Jim must be losing some of
his old-time inquisitiveness.
Mr. Alfred Taylor, for a. long
term of years a respected citizen of
this place, died Tuesday afternoon
at his home in Atlanta. He was
"3 years old. His remains were
sent to this place and laid to rest
in Rackdale cemetery yesterday
morning at ten. o’clock.
Mr. Anse Willingham, one of the
oldest, and best citizens of our coun¬
ty, died Wednesday night from ii
wound received from an axe.
While cutting wood some time ago
he accidentally cut himself on the
knee. He was thought to be im¬
proving until a few days ago, when
erysipelas set in, from which he died.
He was a faithful member of the
Primitive Baptist church. He was
77 years of age, and has hosts of
friends and relatives to mourn his
death. His remains were interred
in Rockdale cerfietery yesterday
THE MORALISTS STOOP.
Resting under the accusation of
being an investor in lotteries, and
an advertiser of frauds, we feel that
justice to ourselves demands that
we notice for a short space a new
departure of the accuser. In the
last issue of our “esteemed contem¬
porary,” the Solid South, we see
a three column “ad” under the head
of “$70 dollars given away.” Now
they propose to give that much to
their subscribers. We can raise
no objections t© that, but we do
condemn, with all the contempt
we can command, the way in which
the said amount is to be distribu¬
ted. It now develops that the
tors of the Solid South do
wish to run the risk of losing by
investing in lotteries, but
rather to scoop in a big pile
running one of tneir own. We feel
it a duty that we owe to word our
zens to enterpose just a
two of warning in this
The fact that wolves do exist
sheep’s clothing, and that
who pose themselves as
are worse than those whom
accuse and vilify, is clearly
onstrated by the starting up of
“Conyers Lottery.” But they
in order perhaps to mislead
who have consiencious scruples re]
ative to these matters, that “this is
no lottery.” We too say that it
not, if a person would subscribe to
their paper without the induce¬
ments they offer. But if the chance
to get a prize induces any one to
subscribe then the whole
a lottery, and should be
ed, Further the fact that the
zes are distributed unequally and
bj r chance brands it as a lottery,
for the very meaning of the word
“Lottery” is “the distribution
prizes by chance.” Then again
there will be some, indeed a
ity, of those who invest in the
“Conyers Lottery” who will
get value received, this is another
‘badge’ of lottery or rather of fraud.
Nor is this lottery business limited
alone to the narrow confines of the
Solid South office, but it is holding
sway in some of the largest and
most influential journals of the day.
B ut no matter where found—wheth¬
er in high or low places it justly
deserves the condemnation of all
good people. We admire the laud¬
able ambition of the enterprising
young editors of the Solid South to
have the largest circulation of any
weekly paper South, but we urge
that the proper means be used to
secure such a prize. Then success
will be sweeter when attained. We
do not say what we have said with
any malice whatever toward our
young friends, nor to retard their
onward and upward progress, for
in truth we would willingly plod
on the lower rounds of the ladler,
if by doing so we might be the
means of helping to build up the
biggist weekly paper in Georgia in
Conyers.
Concluding, we wish to say to
the Managers of the “Conyers Lot¬
tery” that no matter what are the
schemes we make, or the plans we
devise by which to prematurely
reap rich and abundant results,
that our success and happiness ill
depend , , almost solely 7 , ,
