Charles H. Spurgeon, who, by his withdrawal from the Baptist Union, h#s attracted the attention of the Christian world, is a distin guished Baptist minister, at whose feet the wisest and best may sit to learn “the wisdom that is from above.” Though not infallible, he is nevertheless a wise, faithful, ju dicious, fearless, and safe counselor in matters pertaining to Christ and His kingdom. He seceded from the Babtist Union, not because lib erty was curtailed or trampled upon; not because he wanted to rule or reign the Union ; nor yet because his faith or denominational position had changed ; but because he deems truth more sacred and in violable than denominational peace or unity. The following utterances of the famous preacher unmistaka bly prove this. “The Union, as at present consti tuted, has no disciplinary power,for it has no doctrinal basis whatever, and we see no reason why every form of belief and misbelief should not be comprehended in it so long as immersion only is acknowledged as baptism.” “We rejoice that our brethren will not submit their consciences to any man, but the mercy is that we do not know of any man who desires they should.” “We want outsiders to know that we are in nowise altered in our faith, or in our denominational po sition. As a baptised believer, our place is where it has ever been.” “For useful, philanthropical, and political purposes, united action is allowable among men of the most diverse views in religion. But the case before us is that of a distinct ly religions communion, a professed fellowship in Christ. Is this to be made so wide that those who con tradict each other on vital points may yet pretend to be one?” “To pursue union at the expense of truth is treason to the Lord Jesus.” His withdrawal from the Union, then, was not in the interest of lib erty, nor was it from any desire to “lord it over God’s heritage.” He did not retire from the Baptist Union for the purpose of starting “a new denomination for, as he says : “This is not a question for which we have any liking. There are denominations enough.” He withdrew in the interest of truth. It was his loyalty to “the crown rights of King Jesus,” and to “the crown-jewels of his gospel” that prompted, yea, “impelled” the il lustrious man of God to secede from the Baptist Union. But though “impelled” by “a sense of duty” to take this step, in announcing his withdrawal from the Union, Mr. Spurgeon proposes to believe in, and to desire, Chris tian unit}'. “Fitly spoken,” his words are truly “like apples of gold in pictures of silver:” “Oh, that the day would come when, in a larger communion than any sect can offer, all those who are one in Christ may be able to blend in manifest unity! This can only come by the way of growing spirit ual life, clearer light upon the one eternal truth, and a cloiser cleaving in all things to Him who is the Head, even Christ Jesus.” Paradoxical as it may seem, here is a Secessionist who is also a Union man. He tells us that he cannot, and that he ought not to’ belong to the voluntary Association known as the Baptist Union; that “If there were a new denomination founded, the thieves and robbers who have entered other ‘gardens walked round’ would climb into this also,” and yet says he: “The intense desire for union has its commendable side, and we are far from undervaluing it.” Though j “impelled” to withdraw from “the I Union, as at present constituted [ and, without “any liking” for the ' question of starting a new denom i illation, he longs for the day, “when iin a larger communion than any sect can offer, all those who are one in Christ may be able to blend in manifest unity!” What sort of unity does the em- I inent minister crave? I Reader, if you feel any interest : in this question which involves the “the crown-rights of king Jesus” and “thecrown-jewels of his gospel,” let me have your atention again | next week. SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, JANUARY 13, 1888. Does Farming Pay. This is a much mooted question, and one of no small importance. That the instances where the farm er meets with financial success are very rare, is a fact evident te every observant man. That the average farmer ekes out a poor living is an equally evident fact. There cer tainly is a reason for this, and while the causes are not so plain, they do exist. If a man, woman or child wishes to start a business in a town or city, be it ever so un pretentious, the first consideration is money to put their plans into effect. It is impossible to do all of their buying, renting, etc., on credit. Is it so in farming?—the ready answer comes, no. Almost any man can rent a farm, stock, etc., on what is known as the “shares” system. Ho gives a cer tain per centage of the product of the land—in prospect—as rent. The next steps is to call on the grocery merchant and arrange to buy his supplies for the year on credit, giving a mortgage on his part of the crop—in prospect. Here we have a fair picture of how farming is done in tho south. Os course there are exceptions, but they are by no means numerous. As a general thing a farmer starts with nothing, and “holds his capi tal beautifully intact,” neither in creasing or diminishing his stock in trade, both from the same cause. Hence the oft-repeated cry of “farm ing don’t pay.” Now what we intend to demon strate is that farming, properly con ducted, does pay. If the same amount of money, energy and econ omy coupled with tireless watch fulness are brought to bear on the farm that is expended in mercantile houses and manufacturing estab lishments, the balance will be found in favor of the farm, the poor de spised farm. When a merchant receives goods he is just as careful to preserve the boxes as their con tents. Little leaks are watched and plugged up—little expenditures are as carefully considered as large ones—the old adage of “save the dimes and the dollars will take care of themselves” is early learned as the corner stone of success. On the other hand how does the farm er act? Few of them save the ma nure and a still smaller number “raise” their own “hog and homi ny” which could be so easily done and which is so very necessary and is really the true secret of success ful farming. What do you do with your cotton seed asked of one hun dred farmers would in a majority of cases elicit one of two answers, “I sell it to the cotton seed mills,” “or, I use it for manure.” Now just think a moment and see if both answers do not denote either extravagant, an ignorant or a thoughtless man. If you sell it you are “penny wise and pound foolish” if you fertilize with it you are extravagant. Why? Because you can exchange a ton of cotton seed which will only mate 800 pounds of “meal” or land food for 1,000 pounds of the same meal or land food. The oil in the cotton seed, it has been demonstrated time and time again, does not strengthen the soil, and if it docs no harm it certainly does no good. This scheme is equally applicable to those who wish to feed their cot ton seed to cattle. It is economy and wisdom to exchange rather than to sell your cotton seed. Cotton hulls also make good food for cattle as well as splendid fertilizer after be ing burned to ashes. Where did you leave your plows last night? In the field many can truthfully answer. Do you think this the wisest plan? Is it econo my or good business judgement to allow your tools to rust and rot? Yet many farmers are guilty of just such thoughtlessness —to use a mild expression. Stop coming to town on rainy days to crack jokes, and occupy your time in oiling the harness, sharpening a dull knife, fixing the hinge on the barn door, or doing some other apparently unworthy odd job which, while it is insignifi cant must be at some time and by some one, and and it cer tainly is best to do these odd jobs rainy days when out-door work is impracticable. These are few pointers on which we shall from time to time enlarge- These are uncontroverted facts, and while the “cap fits” many it is to be devoutly hoped that time will rectify many of the errors under which the average fanner now la bors. —Plantation News. An Eloquent Tribute. Mrs. Ida Knowles, of Peoria, died in this city on the 15th inst. She was the wife of Howard Knowles and a daughter of Richard Whiting. Col. Robert Ingersoll, being an in timate friend of the fami’y, was in vited to say a few words over the flower covered bier on the eve of its removal to the West for interment. In compliance with this request Col. Ingersoll made one of those el oquent utterances for which he is celebrated. He said : Mr Friends : Again we stand in the shadow of the great mystery —a shadow as deep and dark as when the tears of the first mother fell upon the face of her lifeless babe—a mystery that has never yet been solved. We have met in , the presence of the sacred dead, to speak a word of praise, of hope, of consolation. Another life of love is now ablest memory—a linger ing strain of music. The loving daughter, a pure and consecrated wife, the cincere friend, who with tender faithfulness discharged the duties of a life, has reached her journey’s end. A braver, a more serene, a more chivalric spirit—clasping the loved and by them clasped—never passed from life to enrich the realm of j death. No field of war ever wit nessed greater fortitude, more per fect, smiling courage, than this poor, weak, and helpless woman dis played upon the bed of pain and death. Her life was gentle and her death sublime. She loved the good and all the good loved her But there is this consolation : She an never suffer more; she can never feel again the chill of death; never part again from those she loves. Her heart can break no more. She has shed her last tear and upon her stainless brow has been set the wondrous seal of everlasting peace. When the angel of death—the masked and voiceless —enters the door of home, there come with her all the daughters of compassion, and of these Love and Hope remain forever. You are about to take this dear dust borne—to the home of her girlhood, and to the place that was once my home. You will lay her with neighbors that I have loved, that are now nt rest. You will lay her where my father sleeps. All I can say is: Lay her in the earth And from her fair and unpoluted flesh Let voices spring. I never knew, I never met, a bra ver spirit than the one that once in habited this silent form of dream less clay. Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria are spread by contagion, by the transfer of living matter from the skin, the membranous lining of the mouth, nose nnd throat, and from the intestines and urinary organs. Disinfect promptly and thoroughly with Darbys Prophylactic Fluid, the groat germ destroyer. Prof. H. ■ T. Lupton, of the Vanderbilt Uni versity, Tenn., says: “As a disin fectant and detergent Darbys Pro phylactic Fluid is superior to any preparation with which I am ac quainted." Will C. Baxton died of diphthe-1 ria last Monday at Clearwater! Minn. Tuesday his body was made ready for the coffin and the family I retired from the room. Half an hour afterward some one returned to the apartment and found the boy up and dressed in his every day clothes. He insisted that ho was not dead and was not going to die. However, in about an hour, during which time he talked cheerfnlly to those around him, and seemed to be getting well, he fell over stone dead. Gov. Gordon has appointed Judge W. M. Reese, of Washington, Vir- I gil Powers, of Macon, and C. B. I Howard, of Atlanta, the board of I commission to make the inventory of the Western and Atlantic Rail road, under a resolution of the last Legislature. The Editor. The London Times, speaking of the work of an editor, once said that it can only be appreciated by those who have the fortune to have had some experience in it. The merest slip of the pen, an epithet too much a wrong date, a name mispelled, or a wrong initial before it, the mis interpretation of some passage, per haps incapable of interpretation, the most trifling offence to the per sonal or natural susceptibility of those who do not even profess to care for the feelings of others, may prove not only disagreeable, but even costly mistakes; but they are about the least of the mistakes to which the editor is liable. The ed itor must be on the spot till the pa per is sent to press, and make de cisions on which, not only tho ap proval of the public, but even great causes, may hang. He cannot hus band his strength with comparative repose in the solitude of a study, or the freshness of green fields. He must see the world, converse with its foremost or busiest actors, be open to information and on guard against error. All this should be borne in mind by those who com plain that journalism is not infal libly accurate, just and agreeable. A Firm Believer in His State. Congressman Dougherty, of Flor ida, is a firm believer in the supe rior attractions of his State, as the following true story will testify: On one occasion a Massachusetts man was his guest, and the Con gressman took him around showing him the charms nature had so lav ishly bestowed upon the favored section. “See,” said Col. Dougherty rapt- ; urously, “the beautiful flowers, the luscious fruits, the soft blue sky, the birds of brilliant plumage, the gentle undulations of the land.” “Oh, yes I see!” replied the prac tical Yankee, slapping his face and hands, “I see, but these infernal mosquitoes ruin the prospect.” “Why my dear sir,” expostulated Dougherty, “there are no mosqui toes here. You are totally mistak en. You only think so.” The visitor wouldn’t be persuad ed, however, and after an argument, emphasized by slaps, he accepted a bet of SSO from his host that he (the host) would take off all his clothes and lie on his face in the sand for ten minutes and not be disturbed by the mosquitoes, nor show the slightest sign of discom fort. The Congressman peeled down to 1 the skin, prostrated himself, and the visitor stood over him holding a watch with one hand and fighting the pest with the other. g For five six, seven minutes Dougherty lay there, covered with mosquitoes, but betraying not the slightes emotion. The visitor by this time thought he was going to loose his fifty, and with great sa gacity, took a sun glass from his pocket and focused the rays on the Congressman’s back. For a quar ter of a minute Dougherty never flinched, then he began to squirm. The Yonkee kept perfectly still. In three-quarters of a minute Dough erty was contorting like a man in agony, and stretching back one hand appealingly to the visitor he called out. “Say, Boston, if you’ll let me kill that d—d yellow jacket, I’ll go you SSO more on the mosquitoes.— Washington Critic. John J. Littleton, was recently candidate for mayor of Nashville, Tenn. He was the editor of the National Review, the leading Re publicanpaper of Tennessee. In his candidacy he was opposed by Joseph Banks, another republican, who contributed toward Littleton’s de feat, whereupon the latter attacked Banks in a violent manner in his paper. Banks loaded two shot guns i with hue'; shot, rented a room fa i cing the street along which he knew Littleton would pass and shot him down and even fired on him after he had fallen. Littleton, who was only 29 years old and who had a wife and two small children, died of his wounds. Charley Taylor and Frank Wil liams, who a year or two ago went to Texas, are visiting their old homes in Broomtown valley. Mr. Williams will return west but Mr. Taylor will probably remain. Railroad News. f ; Mr. D. F. Allgood, president of , the Trion factory in Chattooga I county, Ga., was in the city yeeter- j day making some purchases of sup-: plies. Mr. Allgood's factory is one of; the big concerns that will be bene- j sited by the new railroad. Trion j factory now runs 900 spindles, and ' all their cotton has to be bought at ■ one time. They use 5,000 bales of cotton a year, and it is all bought ot one time, the company being re quired to haul from Rome to the factory, a distance of twenty-six miles, by teams. As soon as the railroad is com pleted all this will be obviated and the company can get their cotton off the train at their own depot. It is the purpose also of the com pany to double the capacity of their works as soon as the road is completed. Mr. Allgood is of the opinion that Chattooga county will buy all its supplies at Chattanooga and bring all its cotton to this mar ket. Other counties even lower than Chattooga will ship to and from Chattanooga. The benefits, there fore, to be derived from the new road, even from points immediately near us, and not counting in its through connections, etc., are be coming apparent. The track-laying on the C. R. & C. railroad is progressing satisfac torily. Mr. Brown, who is in charge says that the first six miles out of the city will be finished within ten days. This will complete the line from the depot on Montgomery ave. to the^^^^^ton t two miles b yond Rossville. It is understood that a construction engine will then be put on and the work pushed with all nossible speed. It is ex pected that the grade of the first twenty-six miles will be ready for the tracks within six weeks.—Chat tanooga Times. The road will miss Cedartown one mile, it is said. The people of that place showed an indfference to the road which Mr. Williamson did not like, and now Cedartown will not have the road. FREE COLUMN FOR FARMERS.
