grains of epsotn sail to the gallon.
An ftrtesi:m Well at Fifth and Cherry
streets,: Philadelphia, contains 111)
grains ot foreign matter to the gallon,
and (gill only lie used to condense
steam for tlie boiler. Aa artesian
well in South street furnishes water
not lit for steam. At Seventh street
and Passyuuk road there are two
artesian wells, eaeii one bundled feet
deep, but the water of both is so im
pure that it can only be used for con
densing. The water of the well at
the Continent Hotel is not pure. At
Louisville there is a well 2,849 feet
deep, one iu St. Louis 2,089 feet deep,
one in South Bend, and one in Terre

impregnated with minerals, and lit
only for medicinal uses. At Atlantic

We have heard that its society is very
I much mixed. We believe it is true.
There is a great deal of the aristoc
racy known as the “codfish” upper

tion, plenty of cheek, and put on a
great many airs. Then, there is thu
bloated old whiskey tubs with the
horny blossoms of pink upon their
noses' tips and their limbs and feet
swollen with “high living.” This
class are not like the old Southern
gentlemen that drank wine from his
own cellar, with his friends. But
why speak of Atlanta’s society? Ii
is badly mixed and much of it is such
as true aristocracy would not asso
ciate with, but even itt At lanta there
is a veneering of goo-1, clever and in
telligent people.

EXPENSES OF DOINO BUSINESS.
Under this head tho Heston Jour
md of f'u mmeree has tlie following
editorial:
“Tlie long continued dullness of
industry and trade has brought, out
many suggestions from the pens or
voices 6f merchants of tlie bid school,
whose mode of trade was entirely
different front that which is practiced j
by tho present generation. The mod
ern style of doing business lias be
come so essentially engrafted, ns it,
were, upon buyers and sellers, that it
must lie very hard to get, rid of it,
even if the merchants and traders of
the present day were willing to go
back to the old system of their pre
decessors. A Baltimore merchant,
writing to a leading New York com
mercial journal, touches one feature
of the heavy expenses of trade, which
is frequently n matter of conversation
in business circles in all cities and i
in enumerating tin- present distnlvan- j
tuges of trade, lie asks ‘Are not tlie
heavy expenses and short profits of
mercantile business attributable to
the army of traveling salesmen now
seemingly entaile I to the trade, who
produce an unhealthy competition
amongst merchants, and do not in
crease tlie consumption of goods?’
He adds that they prevent that per
sonal acquaintance amongst mer
chants the actual buyers and sellers
—which is so necessary to establish
correct credits, and to make what
was once known as ‘regular’ custo
mers. Before the late war, the coun
try merchant was satisfied, in each
branch of his trade, to deal with one,
or two, at most, city houses; now he
deals, on an average, with a dozen.
Besides, though creditsare now thirty
and sixty days, instead of, as former
ly, four and six months, still, on ac
count of the difficulties of tracing ids
liabilities under the present system,
it is contended that the old stylo was I
the best ami safest,. It is asserted |
that the great, number of small stores I
in the country, and of merchants not [
worthy of ciedit, who have embarked j
iu business under the present easy
system of buying from traveling
agents, only tends to injure tho sol
vent eountfy merchant, who is com
pelled often to sell without profit in
order to keep his trade from his
weaker insolvent neighbor, who offers
‘lnducements' regardless of cost.
Probably the same ideas have sug
gested themselves to many members

|of the jobbing trade In its various
branches, but whether they can be
improved upon is a difficult question
to answer.’’
Comments. There is much truth in
the above remarks, mid there are
| some other features in the present
system of doing business which
ought to receive tho careful consid
eration of botli wholesale nml retail
merchants; for instance, ten times
as many salesmen are on the road as
would bo necessary to transact the
amount of business done; tints uqt
only increasing tho amount of ex
pense which must lie supported by
tho business, but, wasting the time
! both of the salesmen and country
merchants in asking and answering
questions which would bo unnecessa
ry if merchants ordered their goods
by mail or telegraph, or if they went
to market in person, as most of them
occasionally do. A profnitiorif grocery
merchant said to its not long since:
"My salesmen on tho rood cost me
three times ns much in proportion to
the amount of goods sold as
my lieuso salesmen do; this is
largely owing to the time lost,
in going from customer to customer,
as well as in tho cost of traveling. A
house salesman who lias enough
orders and customers coining iu to
keep him busy, can sell throe times
as many goods as if lie were on the
read, and yet not work as hard; his
customers have samples of my whole
stock spread out. before them from
which to select, and other houses are
at hand if my stock does not suit him.
I do not oversell on lines of goods,
because I know just what I have iu
stock, while with sales made ‘on the
road,’ thisisa fruitful source of dis
satisfaction, for with a number of
salesmen out selling on the same
lines of goods, there must, lx’ more
running out of particular lines and
consequent ‘matching,’ which is not
satisfactory." “But." we said, “can
not you judge of credits better when
your salesmen visit customers per
sonally, and see how they are doing?”
"Well, perhaps that is true some
times, but as a rule, no. All sales
men are not good judges of credit,
and the tendency of tile system is to
crowd off more goods upon retail
merchants than they ought to buy;
salesmen are out on thoroad hunting
for orders, and as the compensation
of many of them is dependent upon
the amount of sales, they will not
lake ‘no’ for an answer, and talk mer
chants into buying more than they
should. The tendency of tho sys
tem is to force, trade and increase
credits, and 1 have always found
such a growth unhealthy. My per
ceutage of losses for a period
of five years lias been larger upon
my traveling salesmen than upon
house sales. “Well then,” said, wo,
“why do you not draw off all of your
traveling salesmen and set them at
work in the house?” “For the rea
son that many country merchants
have got in the habit, of buying from
traveling salesmen because it is easi
er, and as they do not have much
competition in selling their goods
they are willing to pay more for them,
and iu order not. to lose this class of
trade entirely, J. keep a few salesmen
on tlie road.” Then you change larg
er profits on goods sold on the road,”
said wo. “Well, the additional ex
penses have to go mi the goods some
where either out of my profits or
those of somebody else and Ido tin
best I can to make tny usual profits,
which are small enough nowadays,
anyway. When the prices of prinei
pal staples advance, It is natural for
me to telegraph mv traveling man
not to push the sales except at full
prices; and when prices are declin
ing, to push off stocks at old prices as
long as they can do so, to help out on
lh heavy traxcling expenses. The
truth is, the whole system of travel
ing is wromj; it, was started by the
smaller class of houses which did not
have proper facilities at home to do
right and sell goods eheajt, and they
know that, if buyers canto to market
they would sen this, and go to houses
that had proper facilities. On the
other hand, if they could keep their
customers supplied ul home they
could control them better; in short,
when a salesman is on the road his
house is 'as big as anybody’s,’ even if
it is really fourth or fifth rate.”
Tills elided our conversation, and
we give it. ns nearly verbatim as mir
memory will permit. A traveling
salesman also said to us the other
day that he was tired of traveling,
anil after being on the road the great
est, part, of tho time for eight years,
lie had made up his mind it was not
as advantageous either for himself or
his customers as the system of
“house” or “order” sales; that he
would have been further ahead in his
house if lie had stayed at home, and
could have sold to his customers
cheat tor. It seems to us that these
points confirm to a great extent those
advanced in thaftrticloquoted above,
but there are generally two sides to a
question, and we would be glad to
hear from all who are interest/--! in it.
Agitation of a question brings out
the truth, and if the views which we
have presented be true, perhaps we
can inaugurate a better, easier and j
cheaper system of doing business,
which will bo to the advantage of
wholesale merchants, retail mer
chants, salesmen and consumers.
The Springfield f Mass.) liewtbliran
says that the Northern public, after
last year’s ex perience, can be trusted
to make tho necessary allowances
and deductions for partisan eager
ness to make capital on the eve of

State in the Union whore there are
not elements of disorder and
violence, but in none, except
the Southern, is the Federal
military called upon to interfere. It
would be a good deal better to es

Montgomery, Sept. 16. The whole

section: That the State shall never

law. Adopted.
All up to the 21th section were
adopted, with a few trifling amend
ments. Tin- amendments to this suc
tion were so numerous the Committee
recommitted it. The most important
of these was by Mr. Herndon, defin
ing more explicitly tho rights of citi
zens and corporations, which will, no
doubt, be adopted. All were then
adopted to the ‘Kith section, except
the 28th, which was stricken out.
The 361 H section; That, this State
shall never claim or exorcise any
right, to sever its relations with tho
Federal Union, or pass any law in
derogation of the authority of the
General Government of tlie United
States. After a general debate, and

I*2l l>nl Nuncio.
London, Soj>t. Hi. Tho Madrid
correspondent of the Tin d’h .summa
rizes the circular of the Papal liuuoio
lo the Bishops as follows:
The nuncio claims the fulfilment of
the concordat, which forbids the ex
orcise of any non-Catliolic creed and
requires the transfer of tho superin
tendence over education to the cler
gy, and pledgee the co-operation of
the secular power in suppressing her
etical teaching and literature.
He says one of the causes of civil
war is the way in which religious
unity has been misunderstood by
previous governments. For these
reasons, and in view of these conse
quences, the Holy See believes itself
strictly obliged to present these ob
servations to t he Government.
The Tiiiwh* correspondent adds that
no doubt the presentation of this au
dacious claim at a time when the
Liberal Cabinet has just been install
ed, implies a throat that if the Gov
ernment reject it, the blessing of the
Church will be definitely transferred
to Don Carlos and peace retarded in
every possible way.

Ol IK NEW VEOTHHK
liy reference to tho proper column
ii will be seen that we have resolved
to reduce our charge for the Dau.y
Times, on and aftor October first, to
Six Dollars per annum, not including
postage, or six dollars and sixty
eonts when postage is paid by us.
Ourohargofor delivering tho paper
to city subscribers will bo five cents
per month. For one month our
friends can get our Daily paper for
the low price of fifty cents, postage to
be added, and tints the exulting nows
of tho approaching Presidential can
vass will lie In reach of the poorest in
the laud. Our advertising rates will
be kept at the present low prices. We
thus offer the cheapest Daily in the
State, with advertising rates nearly
half less than those charged by pa
pers in other States that are pub
lished at six dollars per annum. Out
advertising rates uro much cheaper
than those of tlie other papers pub
lished in the principal cities in Geor
gia, and it will be seen that our sub
scription price is only one-half as
much as that of many Dailies,
while we hope ultimately to make
tho Times as good us any paper. Our
efforts will be redoubled to make the
Times hotter than it hus yet been, but
wo intend to keep within safe bounds
and not enlarge our paper sooner
than tho public patronage will admit.
It is ourpurposo to condenso news
matter into as small n compass as
possible, in order to give tlie great
est variety of news at tlie least possi
ble cost.
With malice to none, wo hojio to
merit tlie continuance of that gener
ous patronage which has thus en
abled us to reduce our rates. Con
vinced that the only relief that our
people can obtain from present woes,
is by hard work and close economy,
supplemented by a cash system, we
will rigidly adhere to the cash system
from this date. We pay cash for all
our work; we do not pretend to be
making a great deal of money; but wo
earnestly request our friends to sus
tain us by immediate payment of all
dues. Tho name of every subscriber
who docs not want our paper enough
to pay for it by Oetober first, will be
stricken from our books; yet we hope
to retain them all.
Upon every question of importance
our columns arc open to the public,
of all shades of opinion. We hope to
make our paper the best iicich paper
iu Western and Southwestern Geor
gia, or Eastern Alabama, or Northern
Florida, and solicit subscriptions
from every part of these States. We
will send out a special canvasser in
every direction, so as to bo able to se
cure subscriptions wherever it will
pay our merchants to have their ad
vertisements read. A liberal patron
age will alone enable us to make our
paper what we design to make it—the
best advertising medium in this
section.
A l* BUTTONS'
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by tin; Ablest writers on every
Hiibjtct. Printed from new type, ami illus
trated with Several Thousand Eugruviugs
and Maps.
The work originally published under tho title
of The New American Oyclofkidia whs com
pleted in 1363, Biuee which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all parts of the
United States, and tho sigimldevolopments which
have taken place in every branch of science, lit
erature ami art, have induced the editors ami
publishers to submit it to ai. exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cyclof.edia.
Within tho last leu years the progress of dis
covery lu every department of knowledge lias
made a now work ol reference au imperative
want.
The movement of politieal affairs hus kept pace
witn the discovericH of science, and their iruitlu
application to tho industrial ami useful arts ami
tlie convenience and reiiueuicut of social life.
Great wars ami consequent revolutions have oc
eurrod, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. Tho civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ol
the old work appeared, lias happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
iAtrgo accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view u multitude of new
men, whose names are in every oue’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have Been fought and
important sieges maintained, ot which the de
tails are us yet preserved only in the newspapers
or In th transient publications of the day, but
which ought now. to take their place iu perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition f*r the press,
it bus accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, ami to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of tho progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun alter long ami care
ful preliminary labor, uml with the niost ample
resources lor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of tin; original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass us its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such Improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience ami
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which uro introduced for the
first time iu the present edition have bean added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all brandies of science
and ol natural blstorv, ami depict tho most
famous and remarkable features of scenery, :
architecture uml art. as well as the various pro- i
(Misses of mechanics ami manufactures. I
Although intended for instruction rather thau
embclishmeut, no pains have Ikcu spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopiediu, ami worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
iu sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and witW numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
Eleven volumes ready. Succeeding,
until completion, will be issued once In two j
months.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from th
cow’s udder ami kept dry for years, then mots**
tened, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped*
lu it uml drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw tho blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party vac
ciuated fr<>in taking the most loathsome dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if tho
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change au unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
nu‘Sphere the poison nuilarla. why will not tbo
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and tints
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity 1
We claim that there is such a remedy, aud that
wo have prepared it, and applied it, aud proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchyuiial Belt—and
that persous who will wear this Bolt may iuhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear ot
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills aud Fever. Billioua or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver aud
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, aud tha it will cure all the above dis
eases. except the worst cases of Billlous aud Yel
low Fever.
This is called au Anti-malarial or Eucbymial
Beit, as it corrects the humors of the Lody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, aud thus enabling it to per oriu its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu
tlie least.
It lias been tried in thousands of cases without
a fuilure.
They can be obtained trom the proprietors lu
any quantity at the Powell Building, Junction of
Broad ami Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cute or the money refunded.
N. B.~None genuine without the trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Room No. 8, Powell Building, Atlanta, Ga.
A liberal discouut made to the trade.
(’action. —This Belt or Pad, like all articles of
merit, is being imitated by parties who ary try
ing to put up u worthless article, us there is not
a living person, besides ourselves, that knows
the ingredients iu it. We are the patentees, and
have our Bolt protected by a Trade Mark.
Sure Cure.—lu another column will lie found
two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of
Drs. Willson ft Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi
culty in the way of using these belts is that they
arc so simple that few iau believe that there is
any virtue iu them. When a patient is told to
use one he is very much like Naaman when told
that, to ( uro his leprosy, he had only to bathe iu
the river Jordau. Hon. John K. Ward says that
during his stay iu China, as Minister, these belts
were used with great as preventives of
cholera. We know a case where a lady had been
suffering with chills for more than a year, aud
was dually induced to adopt one of these belts.
She bus not had a return of the chills since, and
she is fully persuaded that it is owing to the belt.
l)r, Willson's terms are very lair—uo cure, no
pay.
44-Re ad the following certificates:
Atlanta, Ga., June 6, 1875.
Messrs. Love ft Willson: Gentlemen—ln Apri
last 1 was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run ou me for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so 1 discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left mo entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have u Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
uml no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
ho unfortunate an to have Chills and Fever may
bo fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
T am, respectfully, etc.,
• W. J. Wilson.

Dus. Love ft Willson:
On the first day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasvllle, Houthwes
tern Ga., ami was treated for thu same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it ouly
for a few (lays ut a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh cu I accidentally met up with Drs. Love ft Will
son's Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. 1 have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it ou, lam now in as
good health ns I ever was iu my lile, xml think
this Belt a God-scud to the afflicted.
J. M. Mathews,
Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1878.
Some nine years ago 1 contracted malaria in
Siivunnah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever since, until I met up with Drs. Love ft
Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three mouths
ago, 1 have worn it coutinuully, aud have had uo
chill since, uud find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.

Dus. Love ft Willson, Atlanta, Ga:—Gentlb
m kn— I have been a sufferer from chills aud fever
for (ID) nineteen years, and have usedi;all of the
popular remedies, but only had temporary relief
until about three months since, I was induced, by
your agent. Captain W. R, White, to wear one of
your ••Antl-Marial Belts." I have not had a chill
since putting it ou. It has enabled mu to look
after my fanning interest more closely, and ex
pose myself to rain and sunshine more than for

Dus. Love ft Willson:—Dear Hirs—l have been
having chills, caused from living in a malarious
district, for seven years. During that time 1
have taken ounc'* of quiuiue, with which I have
usually checked them for a while, but they have
invariably returned an soon as I would leave off
tho use of the medicine. Having taken Arse
nic and Htrieliniue, and nearly every chill
remedy I ever hoard of. 1 procured, a mouth
since, one of your "Anti-slalurial Belts,” which I
have worn, and during this time I have had only
one chill, which was brought ou by being exposed
to night uir and getting wet. It has OOtle me
more good than all the internal remedies put to
gether which I have taken the joist seven years.
1 am very gratefully aud respectfully yours,
