Members Of my class who contract
ed habits of intemperance have gone
to destruction, while those who were
temperate have attained respectable
positions in the world. The tenden-

ever men permit themselves to tam

largest portion of tho crime com
mitted in this land has its basis,
its beginning place, in habits
of intemperance; no cause is pro-
ductive of moro evil, or is mere de-
structive Of temporal or eternal hap
piness in its results. The fancy that
alcoholic stimulants are necessary to
enable men TO bear the effects of ex-
cessive or pTotracted laboy or fatigue
is both tlelusion and n snare. The
best fighting is done by soldiers who
do not drink, and they are the most
elastic in endurance. Constant re
iusals to drink have always won for
me the respect of my fellow officers

Daring Outrage.

We are this week called upon 10
record one of the most fendish acts
of incendiarism that has come under
our observation for some consider
able time. On last Monday evening
the fine new residence belonging to
Capt. a. j. Watterson, who is Depu-
ty Sheriff for Mason county, was set
fire to by some heartless villain and
totally consumed. The building
which was an excellent and extensive
one had but a short time since been
completed, and Mr.. Watterson was
just on the eve Of occupying it as
his future residence. The incendi-
ary had set fire to the house in four
of its rooms, thus showing fixed
determination to make his work of
destruction perfect and complete.
When the fire was discovered, it had
made such progress that all efforts
to stay the con1agration were totally
unavailing. The scoundrel who com
mitted this act of vallandalism is still
at large, and no clue to his identity
and whereabouts has yet been ef-
fected
Mr.. watterson has long been dep
uty Sheriff of Mason county, and IS
known all over the county as one oil
our best and most influential citizens.
Whatever may have been the motive
of the incendiary we believe that his
vilIainy is reprobated by all lovers
of peace and public order. Some
considerable feeling has been engen-
dered by the occurrence and hopes
are entertained that the guilty party
will soon be brought to Justice

EE When that Incredibly cheeky
rebel, General Edward Johnson, ap-
piled for back pay at the Treasurer's S
office last week, he produced his par
don and laid it, with his little bill,
before Mr.. Spinner. After General
Spinner had heard his case he sslutea
ex-General Johnson something in
this style: 81 don't see how you
can make such q claim IS this. Yon
deserted your Government, and ever
siree have been stealing everything
you could lay your hands on and rob
bing her of her property. You now
make claim for back pay. If L un-
derstand the law, desertion makes O
forfeiture OF all pay and allowances
due at the time, or what may hereaf-
ter become due" To this General
johnson replied that Mr.. Spinner
was mistaken, and that he did not
consider what he did desertion or
robbery; that he did what he con-
sidered right. and demanded the pay
ment of his claim. General Spinner
replied a second time that he con-
sidered that he (Johnson) had been
stealing from the United States Gov
ernment fer four years, and did moi
deserve the amount claimed, and that
he would not pay it.

Railroad Matters,

As there are always certain class
of men who fail to see the importance
of any projected improvement, no
matter how beneficial it is destined
to be, and rs this is especially the
case with reference TO the construc-
ton Of railroads, we here copy very
concise statement of such benefits
from the report of the engineer of
the Alabama Central Railroad, mere
ly prefacing it by the remark that
equal benefits will result from the
building of our contemplated rail.
road to the interior:
INFLUENCE or RAILROADS rPoN LAMP
AND PROPERTY.
The Engineer of the Alabama Gen.
tral Railroad, who made, several
years since, one of the ablest reports
ever published in any country, gives
the following illustration ofthe effects
OF the railroad upon the habits, man
ners, enterprise and wealth of the
people of the interior:
In 1887 l was engaged on the
Georgia State Road, just then com
menced. l there became acquainted
with the people along the road-their
habits and their means. Beyond
their actual wants for food, they rails
ed nothing at all The men moped
around and shot at q mark The wo-
men seemed to DO but little, while
:heir children, poorly cared for, saun-
tered about from place TO place, as
If their highest thoughts were bent
upon catching rabbits, oppOssums,
or some such small game. What was
the use TO work when it would cost
them two dollars per bushel to get
their wheat to market, and then only
get one2 In 1851 ! went back again,
and oh, what change The rivers
were the same-the Kenessw Noun
tain had not changed; the crooked
spoon" still rolled along; the men
and women that once / knew were
there, the boys had grown to be men,
and the girls TO be women, but their
misn was changed. The old men
stood erect as with e0nsious pride
they looked upon the waving fields
of grain. The matrons busted them
selves about their dairies and looms,
while the sturdy boys were graphing
with the plow. What has brought
the change about? Listen for awhile
and you will hear the iron horse come
storming along. He stops at sssta-
ton for fuel and water-a man gets
off the train. He is q Charleston
man, or perhaps the agent of the
Montgomery mills. The cars go on
and he goes to the house. He wants
to buy his grain. Strange, but
true. that the demand for wheat
should be so great as to induce the
merchant to buy at the farmers door.
He offers 81, 80 per bushel, cash, for
his crop, and will furnish the sacks
to put it IN. That won't do. Sayan-
nah was here yesterday and Colum.
bus the day before, and they offered
| more.
Here is the key to this change.
This solves the mystery. The great
State Road-the iron horse-the dol
lar and a half per bushel, cash, tells
the tale. This is literally the truth,
as any one can ascertain by inquir-
ing of the men that know.
