- inure or lead serious aie con*
stautiy occurring in these rinks, and
tor tuts reason, it tor no other, this
amusement ought ’o be abandoned.
But, aside from this danger, the ex
ercise is injurious to health; it is too
violent, especially tor our Southern
young ladies, whose habits are 10l
the most part seleutaiy. Wo have
no doubt thatsueds ot disease have
already been sown which will pro
duce a teariul harvest ot pain and
Borrow. It affords us pleasure to see
our young people amuse themselves,
but notat the expense ot their health,
and at the risk ot their lives.
(Speaking tor ourselves, we ese nc
itnmorti tendency In the amusemet
now spoken ot, but this may be be
cause we have had but little oppor
tunity for observation. But several
ot our exchanges who know more
about it than we do, regard It as even
more injurious to morals than to
health. Taking Into aecount what
we know, and what we hear, and lay
ing special stress on the former, we
earnestly advise our young friends to
avoid the sport. —Christian Index.
Dalton Citizen: We had the pleas
ure on Tuesday of a visit from Messrs
Prince and Mellett, who have just
returned from a prospecting tour to
the Oonuctah silver and gold regions.
They are Boston gentlemen, one of
them an old and experienced miner.
They took with them to the mines a
machine called the Electric Mine In
dicator, used in making tests for the
deposit of valuable minerals, and
they inform us that they found ths
mountain rich in gold and silver de
posits; but not to the fabulous extent
published in some of the papers.
They had with them several speci
mens of gold and silver ore, which
were certainly very rich with the
precious metals—as rich as any we
ever saw. These gentlemen are
strongly of the opinion that these
mines, if properlv worked, will prov
to be a bonanza of no insignificant
propor'ione. Judging from these
specimens, and what these gentlemen
told us concerning the richness and
extent of the various veins or leads,
we are satisfied that a too of ore from
these mines will yield from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, possibly more.
COMPLAINT* OF OK INME tIKOWEHS.
Florida orange growers very gen
erally complain that the prices they
have received for their fruit this sea
son have been very much Sower than
they ought to have been. Their com
plaint is not without reason. In
many instances returns from ship
ments b rve not much crore tuan paid
actual expenses. It is not believed
that the supply ot oranges is greatet
tnan the demand. The demand it
steadily increasing ami must con inu<
to increase. J. he supply is not as
close to the demand now as it war
before Florida began to cultivate in
fruit s > extensively. It there was any
reason to thick that more crat gee
were now grown than coutd be suid
at a profit, the planting of new
groves would soon cease.
The trouble is not because of the
quantity of oranges, but on account
of the way they are marketed. Every
season the melon growers complain
of low pricesand threaten to stop cul
tivating melons. They do not stop,
however. Very many growers in
crease their acreage. They know
that the low prices are caused by cii
cumstances that can be controlled,
and they hope every year that the
difficulties io the way of better prices
win be removed.
The orange growers know why
they do not get better prices. They
cannot fail to see that where their
fiuit is put on the market in good
condition and In proper quantities,
the returns are satisfactory.
The truth ie, there is no system ob
served in marketing the Florida
orange crop. One town or city,mav
be overstocked, while there is a scar
city in nearly every other place m
the country. There doesn’t appear
to be any attempt to find out the
quantity that a town needs to supply
its demand within a certain time.
For instance, it 500 boxes of good
oranges were sect to ibis city each
week, they would be sold doubtless
at satisfactory prices, but if 3.000
boxes a week were s<.nt here, it it
probable that the prices would rule
very low. The seme is true with re
epeet to evety town throughout the
country. The supply Is either greater
than the demanc,.or there.is no sup
ply at all.
What is needed is an intelligent
system of distribution. Arrange
ments ougfct to be pertecied to supply
all parts ot the country regularly
with just the qnantity cf fruit re
quired.
Os course such a system would re
quire the employment of intelligent
business men, and would also require
quick communication between the
points to be supplied and the grow
ers. There would have to be a sort
ot central depot where the wants es
every part ot the country would be
recorded, and where information
could be obtained, by telegraph or
otherwise, by shippers that would
guide them in tmir shipments. Il
thia system were adopted a shipment
of oranges would not be made to a
town already well supplied. It is
evident that before the Florida grow
ers can obtain the best returns for
their fruit they must adopt an intelli
gent system for its distribution. —
