Mr. Sam Small, the evangelist,will
have to keep a sharp look' ut on bitu
self if he wants to preserve his rep
utation as a good man- The Cincin
nati Enquirer s-iys that he recently
deposited at a bank a roll o» green
backs, in the middle of which were
Several pool checks “ good for sc, at

the Enquirer was to create the im
piession that Mr. Small bad been

a moment about the matter will see,
that the pool checks were put into
the collection basket by wicked

Mr. Small’s pocket.
TWO ’ DimCUKTIES.
To the material advancement of
the whole country there are two
small little troubles. The
prosperity of the country is
measured by the prosperity of the
farmers. The old adage reads,
“take care of the dimes and the dol
lars will take care of thetu> elves. ’
If the farmer would pay inoroatten*
tion to the small vegetable farm,
.the poultry,the extra Few pounds of
butter-&C. and turn al! these into
cash, the difference made in one year
would almost settle all the debts.
There would be given a market for
home products and by so doing the
great bills of family groceries would
malermHy diminish and the money
would be kept at hom«*. Our
merchants should encourage the es
tablishment of (Sinning factories,
and the growing-and marketing all
kinds of firmtaoe. The farmer should
always be ready to convert his was
ting produce into cash. There are
two small troubles in the way of
reaching this result. First; Ther
are winy yea, nearly all of (he far*
nW who do. not want to carry a
bushel of p *as, potatoes, beaus oni
ons or anything to town tosell, They
ohjwct to being in town with a
slew dozen eggs.or a pou id or two of
buttei, This is all wrong and is the
broad open rotd to want. '1 his is
one thing that impoverishes the
-Bmitheri) farmer. Mis pride is big
er than his exercise of pjdgmnen*.
This pride will not alk.w him to
•carry chickens, melons, eggs, fruit
■or anything else to town to peddle
out.
The not them farmer has tacoine
rich by jus; such management. He
owes nothing. Ile owns his lands,
lias a fine residency line barns,
slock houses,silver mounted harness
and easy carri*goß. Why is this dis.
fer nee? Simply because th Ay lo*>k

“WHAT I KNOW ABOUT FARM
ING.”
As Wo promised last week, So
will wc Try to Perform this.
Vi ithou’u taki: g notes of the pro®
ceedings of the convention at Car
te rsvilb ,we will, from memory, try
to enlighten our readers to the extent
of our own enlightenment upon suh
jecU of interest, entertained by the
convention, going the dry’ details
->f rou ine I udness to the bigdailies.
When we reached the fl >or of the
convention, the delegates were at
tentively listening to an address of
welcome from Dr. W. H. Felton,
during the delivery of which, the
honest sentiments plainly
end fearlessly ex-
preesed,struck sympathetic chords
in the bosoms ot his hearers, as was
evidenced by the frequent rounds
of applause in response, and the cli
max was reached as he with the mas
terly skirl of an artistic word paint
er, drew a glowing and truthful
picture of an Independent farmer’s
home.
This address was responded to on
the part of the organization by Mr
Nisbet, (we believe,) of Macon, fol
lowed by the usual address of Pres.
Livingston, duiing the delivery of
which he incidentally remarked, in
speaking of the general state of un
rest pervading the ranks of all in
dustrial people,—that, if the Knights
of Labor, through their organiza
tion, were s.eking to better their
condition through peaceful and law
ful n eans, be (the President) bid
them God speed—This humane ut
terance sermed to have the effect oi
an exploding 1 omb, upon a few, in
side of the rail, while the plow hold
ers, who occupied the back seats,
generally applauded; and it was
soon very evident that questions of
political economy, as it relates to
the agricultural, and consequently
nil interest, would supercede ques
tions of Farm or Domestic economy
and so it pro veil. Soon a s«t of res
olutions censuring the Presidtni, or
regarded by a majority of the con
vention as a censor*', were rear! ai.d
overwhelmingly voted lo lie on thr
table, bat like Bancos ghost, they
wquld noL down, until were
everlastingly put down, which hap
pened later.
During experience me-tings near
ly every speaker,’ notvilhstanding
a few were constantly btiiving lo
throw act blankets on the discussion
of this subject, would diift into the
current,noZe«s expressions
of a ppi oval of liberal and fraternal
feelings towards other bodies of or
ganized labor, showed beyond a
doubt, the fact that Georgia’s grand
organization of agricultural laliorers
are iu sympathy with their kindred,
Knights of Labor.
The address upon the subject of
the relations between capital and la
bor, by 8 11. Bassett, of Fort Valley,
was a masterly effort; in the main
lilwral., and altogether oonservaiive.
showing deep res .’arch iato the true
springs and fountain heads of cor
rect information, from which—in
most oMMfs—logical deduct ions* were
drawn. Ills speech will probably be
published aud will be instructive
and entertaining reading for farmers,
od or young. Mr. 8., himself, is a
noble example of young Georgia
farmer, before whom we think we
sect % bright and honorable future.
Upon the subject of farming we learn
ed b yond dispute, that a new and
generally approved cow pea—called
the unknown pea—has lately been
developed in Hancock county. The
subject of co-opperatiou in buying
fertilizer! and farm supplies was
more freely discussed than any oth
er, except the.labor question, and
generally in favor of co-opperstive
buying, tho* the opposite position
was maintained by one person who,
as it appeared from his remark’, was
a guano agent, which to my miud ac
counted for the milk in his cocoaaut.
Then again cam sup the K. of L
resolutions which in the minds of
the delegates, had resolved itself in
to a question something Hke this;
Shadthie labor Organisation put
its sea! of condemnation, or of, ap
proval upon kindied organizations
of Lal>or? A vole was obtained, and
iheßvtodimons werestrongly rejected
The qivedon again croped out, in
the election for oiScer-', some at
tempt being made to prejudice deie
ga«*M agaiust President Livingston
by over zealous friends of Mr. Nor
thern, This attempt proved a
buomv’aug. sad Pres, Livingston
was elected by such a large majori
ty that it was made unanimous, af
ter which some routine business was
transacted and the convention was
practically at an end. The citizens
of Cartersville fairly exceeded thein
srlves in showering attention and
hospitality upon the <Lleg:if :s, and
the delegates duly appreciated
it-
OUR PUBKIC ROADS.
All over the county need work.
Much complaint is heard about bad
roads and the apparent negligence
and indifference displayed by the of
ficers and overseers. Let us say that
the disposition to allow the roads to
go without work is entirely too po
tent. When we see good roads and
safe bridges and public crossings we
are assured that the people are an
enlightened, progressive and wide a
wake people. The roads indicate
the kind of people living along them
I and they index the interest manifest
ed for the public welfare. Good
roads cause a kind feeling and an ex
pression of interest to go out from
the observer to the people.
A Newspaper Postal Law.
The latest postal law decision is to
the effect that publishers of newspa
pers can, und r the law, arreit any
man for fraud who takes a paperand
refuses to pay for it- Ui.der this law
it is a dangerous trick fin- a man to
allow his subscription to run on for
six month' to a year and a half un
paid and then tell the post master to
mark it “refused,” or send the edi
tor a postal card to discontinue the
pujKT. —Ex.
Ah to Col, Hammond’s future we
have not been advised, but it affords
us pleasure to say that an abler law
yer, purer.gentleman or more up
right citizen never lived in the State,
and if he should return to the full
practice ol the law, will ably honor
thnt profession a» he has already
dore in the past.

Preamble and Declaration of Prin
ciples of the Knights of afccr
of xnerica.
From the tenor of a large propor
tion of inquiries, the impression has
gone abroad that the Knights of La
bor is a political organization, to last
through a campaigh, or something of
that sort. If any one joins the Order
under this impression he is mistak
en.
The alarming development ana aggressiveness
of great capitalists and corporations, unless
checked, win inevitably lead to the pauperization
and ho]>eles.s degradation of the toiling masses.
It is imperative, if we desire to enjoy the full
blessings of lite, that a check be placed upon
unjust accumulation, and the power for evil of
aggregated wealth.
This much desired object can be accomplished
only by the united efforts of those who obey the
divine injunction, “In the sweat of thy face Shalt
thou eat bread."
a'heiefore.we have formed the order of Kuigh; s
of labor, for the purpose of organizing and direc
ting the power of the industrial masses, not as
a political party, for it is more—in it are crysta
clzed sentiments and measures for the benefit
of the whole people, but it should be borne in
mind when exercising the right of suffrage that
most of the objects herein set forth can only be
obtained through legislation, and that it is the
duty of all to assist in nominating and supporting
with their votes only such canididates as will
pledge their support to those measures, regard
less of partv. But no one shall, however, be
compelled to vote with the majority, and calling
upon all who believe in securing “the greatest
good to the greatest number," to join and assist
us, we declare to the world that our aims are-
I. To make industrial and moral worth, not
wealth, the true standard of individual and Na
tional greatness.
. ‘ To secure to the workers the full enjoyment
,of the - S4lth they create, sufficient leisure in
which to uevelop their intellectual, moral and
social faculties: all of the benefits, recreation
and pleasure of association, in a word, to enSbie
them to share in the gains and honors of ad
vancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we demand at
the hands of the STATE. ,
ill. The establishment ot Bureaus of Labor Sta
tistics, that we may arrive at a correct knowledge
of the educational, moral and financial condition
of the laboring masses
IV’, That tho public lands, the heritage of the
people, be reserved for actual settlors, not an
other acre for railroads or speculators, and that
all lands now held for sjteculative puaposea be
taxed to their full value.
V. Tho abrocation of all laws that do not bear
equally upon capital and labor, and the removal
of Unjust te, liiii,<>alit'>‘s, delays ' ■ <• d'-'.nimiuu
tiors iu tins ;.<biiinistrati><n of justice. a
VI. The adoption of measures for
the health aud snfety of thoi c engage*i hi min
ing and nuenuimaturing, buihltng mtiusUies,
.•»ml for inrlemnifleaUoi: to those engaged there
in for inj'iries received through lack of pecesaa-
v safegmuils,
'VH. The recognition, by incorporation, of
trades* unions, orders and such other associations
as may be orgunized by the working masses to
improve their condition and protect their rights.
VIII. The enactment of laws 6e' compel eoipo
ations to pav their employees weekly, in lawful
money, tor the laborer the proceeding week, and
giving mechanics and laborers a Hen upon the
product oi their labor to the extent Os their full
W l& € ."Tbe abolition of the cotraet system on Na
ional. State and Municipal Works.
X. The enactment of laws providing far arbi
tration between employers and employed, and
to enforce the decision of the arbitrators.
Xi. The prohibition by law of the employment
of children under 15 years of age iu workshops
mines and factories.
XII. To prohibit the hiring out of envict labor.
XIII That a graduated inconfe tax be levied.
And we demand at the hands of Congress.
X IV’. The establishment of a National mone
tary system, in which a circulating medium in
necessary quantity shall issue direct to the i»eo
ple, without the intervention of banks, that all
the National issue shall be full legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and private, ami
that the Government shall not guarantee or re
cognize any private banks 4 or create any bunk
ing corporations.
XV. That interest-bearing bonds, bills of
credit or notes shall never be issued by the Gov
ernment, but that* when need arises, the emer
gency shall be met by Issue of legal tender, noti-
Inlerest-bcaring money.
XVI. That the importation of foreign labor
under contract l<e prohibited.
XVTI. That, in connection with the post-oil
ale, the Government shall organize financial ex
hetmges, safe deposits and facilities for deposit
of the savio rs ot the iwople in small sums.
XVJII. Tuat the Government shall obtain
possession, by purchase, under the right of kmi
nont domain,'of all telegraphs, | telephones ami
railroads, and that hereafter no charter or li
cense be Issued to any corporation for construc
tion or operation of any menus ot transport
ing intelligence, passengers or freight.
Ami while making tio foregoing demanto ttp
ou the State and National Government, we will

Cause of Neuralgia.

cause of neuralgia. When tlie nerves
arc not properly fed, it is an indication
