The Columbus Times cuts deeply
when it says: "Some of the Geor.
gia papers are urging the necessity
of a State registration law. We, too,
would like to see such a law passed,
but do not expect to see it. It would,
to a great extent stop-at least
check-fraudulent voting, and that
is the very thing that many who 20
into the legislature do not want
stopped, for when fraudulent voting
ceases they will have to stay at
home. We must not expect men to
advocate laws that will destroy their
chances for place."

time in che not distant future when
the seat of the cotton manufacture
OF the country will be in the South.
It says: The present decade will

bltion. In spite Of the present want
Of capital, experience and skill, the
South can win, and win it will, be.
cause all else is in it's favor.

People whs buy for cash always
buy cheaper than those who buy on
credit. They buy also more closely
and more carefully. Purchases which
are paid for when made are limited
more exactly to the purchasers
wants. There is nothing like having
to count out the money when the ar.
ticle is bought to- make people eco.
n0mical. The amount of indebted
ness incurred is not much considered
when the pay day is far Off Persons
who do all their business on q cash
basis know just where they stand
and what they can afford. Real
wants are few and can be gratified
for cash; at all events they should
be limited to what can be paid for in
cash. How much anxiety, how many
heart burnings, disappointment aud
regrets would be avoided if this rule
were strictly adhered to.

receive less thanks for what they do.

q newspaper without paying for it
than they have to ask a merchant to

making slow progress of late years
in breaking down the high protec.
tive tariff, which, while it protects
the manufacturer in charging high
prices for his goods, at the same
time robs the farmer, the laborer and
every other class that is compelled
to use those goods. We shall be
glad when no such thing as class

The humiliation of having to start
in life with small beginnings, has
deferred many man from rising to
q position Of competency-but the
reverse spirit, trying to shew large
at the outset, has sunk masy to the
depth of despair and financial ruin.
On starting out upon any journey,
especially one Of such, magBitude
and grave importance as the jour-
ney Of life, it is wise to start with
such pace as you are able to co.
Ii you have not the means of riding
at-the outset, you must walk. 1t is
better to start with a sure pace,
though it be exceedingly slow, for
then you viii not have to retraee any
part of the journey, and every step
that you make leaves one less to be
taken.
The young farmer should not scUfn
a small beginning. Better start out
of debt with a log house on forty
acre tract, than to ask credit for q
large farm, a fine horse, buggy. and
other corresponding appliances Of
farming on a grand scale, only to
find yourself in a few years hope
lessly involved, and obliged to 60
back aud make the small beginning
ut last. TIE man who starts as he
is able to 60, even though it be with
one pig and cow, will very likely
hold out to the end,-and if he is in.
dustrious and saving he will accumu.
late something from year to year,
and after a while will find himself
surrounded with every convenience
and comfort that heart could desire,
and will far surpass some that start.
ed on grander scale, and be reck-
Oned one of the best of the land.
Throw away, then, the foolish
pride that bushes for humble sur.
roundings. Shelter your head with
boards in log cabin, and work
bravely on in the spirit of hopeful
trust aud humble dependence upon
God, and BY and by you will be able
to move into a finer house, and to
give yourself some relaxation and
indulgence. We rejoice to notice in
some sections of the country that
men are putting up with small be-
ginnings. Humble cottages on small
farms are more numerous now in
some parts OF the State than large
dwellings or pretentious mansions.
The owners have not scorned the lit
tie things, and many Of them, We
further rejoice to say, are accumu.
latiDg means, becoming more indie.
pendent, and are at the same time
raising up healthy and industrious
progeny, who will, in their turn, 60
of and build up other houses and
keep up the fame and prosperity of
our beloved Pelican State and hon
ored "Solid South" All praise and
success to these men. Quiet and
unpretentious though many of them
may be, yet they are the very sinews
of the State, without the help of
which refinement and splendor would
60 the wall. Let no man fear to
make an humble start in life; and
let not the pampered sons of pride
affect to scorn them now. By and
by they will be glad to acknowledge
their worth.
