Stores" upon turpentine and rosin. the
writer, after mentioning the decline in
prices for spirits and rosin, and the in
crease OF wages, goes on to enumerate the
cost OF cutting and working crop of TO-.
900 trees. His estimate is correct excent
as to the rent paid for timber: in this sec
uon instead of paying $50 we pay 800 for
crop OF 10000 boxes, which, added to the
estimate made by ''Naval Stores.v will
increase the total cost of working the crop
from $3.50 90 to 1913 90 leaving a net profit
OF only S26 % for a virgin crop of 10000
boxes for one season.

sept. 19.-Edtor Morning Netgs There
appeared in the WEEKLY News of the
18th an article apparently from a regular
correspondent at Gibson, Ga, headed
"GlasscOck County Notes-An Unsuc-
cessful Railroad Meeting" etc., signed
m. Z. c."
| was surprised to see the article.
The writer must have been msIed
with respect to the railroad meeting,
for he shows that he knew very little
about the subscription lists and other
matters pertaining to the projected road
to StellaYille and SandersVille. The
writer has large amount subscribed on
his list and others are making favorable
reports Of subscriptions. At the meeting
to which NJ. Z. G. referred, Hon. Jas. X .
Hines delivered an eloquent address in
favor of the undertaking. Speeches were
also made by Coils. s. II. Jordan.
T. c. Wicker, b. A. Lane and
others. The remarks of Colonel Lane were
favorable to the Gibson route. But. the
people of HudsOnia, Washington county.
do not propose to remain idle or silent.
The people of the StapletOn Academy sec
tiOn of Jefferson county, are also taking
active steps in behalf of the new road.
and there is a probability that the line.
after reaching Stellaville, will be run
direct to Sandersville through one of the
most productive sections of the State, and
leave Gibson some six or eight miles to
the right, with branch road to be con-
structed to Gibson. Very respectfully,

Chief Justice Taney and the Dred Scott

Two letters in the October Centarg are
interesting as showing that Chief Justice
fancy has been misunderstood in relation
to his decision in the Dred Scott case.
One of the letters says in part ''The
Chief Justice merely asserted fact, and
did not decide that the negro had no
rights that white man was bound to re-
spect.' Judge fancy never held such an
opinion, and it is an insult to his memory
to make such an assertion.
"AllOw me to state some facts relative
to Judge Taney's feelings towards the col
Ored race. Some thirty years before his
death he freed his slaves. This proves
that he was no lover Of slavery. On one
occasion, speaking of the colored people,
with much emphasis, he SAID: THANK
God that at least in one place all men are
equal-in the church of God. ! do not
cOnsiderit any degradation to kneel side by
side with negro In the house of our
Heavenly Father On another occasion.
speaking of the Dred Scott decis-
ion, he remarked that mo mat
ter what might be his feelings in
regard to this question of slavery,
his oath bound him to interpret the law
under the Constitution This was his
higher law-the oath he had taken when
he accepted the position of Chief Justice
of the United States Supreme Court A
purer, a more conscientious man never
wore the ermine; more faithful servant
the Government of the United States new
er had. 1t was his fidelity to duty that
cost him his life. as | personally
know. | knew him intimately for several
years. He spoke with sadness of our late
troubles, wishing from his heart that some
statesman would rise up and prevent the
fratricidal contest

Home, sweet Home" is the embOdi-
ment of all that is tender, affectlonate
and good. ''HOmeIess'' embraces all that
is dark, dreary and discouraging. To Sc
cure home for the homeless was the
thought that awakened to action the VEN
cradle DR.. Jesse Boring, of the North
Georgia Conference in the year 1869,
and prompted a series of articles
which crystalliZed at last into a
project to establish an orphans
home for the helpless and destitute. 1t
was not to be an asylum merely. but
home in all of IFS attractiYeness and sur
roundings-a permanent abode, where
these helpless waits could enjoy that al
fectionate and parental regard which
they had lost through the ravages of
death.
1t was to be opened only to real or
phans. who had neither father or mother
to care for them, and when once within
its portals it would be home to them for
all future time.
At the session of the General Conference
of the Nj. Z. Church South, held at Mem
phis, Tenn. DR.. Boring presented this
subject, and received the hearty approval
of that body. On his return to Georgia,
he organized 'Home" at Norcross, un-
der the auspices of the North Georgia

A Lawyers Novel.

Prof. Swing, of Chicago, in an address
at the Acton, Ind, Assemblage approx
ed of judicious novel reading, and told
this anecdote: az heard of Chicago
lawyer once whose wife read two novels
to him when he was sick, and he said to
her: Il have been entirely too much
wrapped up in law, and have forgotten
almost everything else. When l ge. we'll
l shall lay aside my statutes and write a
novel, and so he did. The first chapter
told about nice young man and pretty
young woman. The second told how
they fell in love. The third, a yery
pretty chapter. told how they took q
walk together in the evening and how
they got outside of town because the sun
went down and they couldn't see the cor
poration line. 1t was very romantic
story, but he spoiled it in the next chap
ter. After the lovers were appropriately
seated in the shade of spreading oak,
although 1t was night, the young man
said: Adelaide, l can no longer conceal
my feelings. l love you madIy, dis.
tractedly, wildly. cannot live without
you. Your image is in my heart by night
and by day, and without you my life is
incomplete. Now, that was all very
pretty, but-would you believe it?1
the lawyer commenced that maiden's
answer to that burning declaration with:
sThe other party responded substanti
ally MS follows and that took away all
the romance"

What the, rough characters, of whom
the population Of the frontier towns has
been composed, will now do, is ques-
ton. Averse to work and too coarse in
their manners to be contented in decent
society, the civilizing influences of per-
manent settlers has caused them to move
on, and such females rs Short and Dirty
and Calamity Jane, who a7few years ago
were the bellies of Bismarck, Da-
kota, and their male admirers.
have given place to ladies' and
gentlemen of good morals and refined
manners. The frontier character, who
is different from the pioneer, is as dis.
contented in respectable society as a
rat in trap. His favorite employment
is drinking and gambling, and when
people came along who were unwilling to
do either, if not both, he began to feel
that he must move on. They may con-
t'nue as class to exist few years
longer by branching out, but this pro.
cess will soon result in their disappear
ance by absorption into the agricultural
or mechanical classes. Every one will
rejoice. that their days are numbered,
and will hope that they may display an
industry equal to the reckless courage
for which they have been distinguished.
Most of them have in them the stuff of
which heroes are made, and as circum-
stances have made them dissolute, go
also may circumstances make of them
honorable aud enterprising citizens,

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.


The returns for the first seven months
of 1888 show that France lost 81 6, 600, 900
OF export trade, as compared with the
same months of 1882, while her imports
increased sll 100000. The contrast
with the situation in this country is
striking. During the fiscal year which
ended with June the balance of trade in
our favor was $3.50, ,0OO. 900, or i've times
as much as that of the preceding year.
The indications are that the excess of
exports over imports will continue to
socrease, and year of very satisfactory
foreign trade is before the nation. Gov
ernment securities held abroad have
been rapidly returning, and large
movcment,ef specie across the Atlantic
to purchase our cereals is confidently
expected. Both England ana France
will need an unusual quantity of foreign
wheat, and the demand for the surplus
OF our crop is likely to be brisk. For
years the nation struggled to change the
balance OF trade from the wrong side of
the account, aud now the struggle has
been ans'erred from the United States
to Europe. 5

and out of the Gulf of Mexico.
This means direct saving to each
vessel, in salary and running expenses,
Of about $1,000. Besides, the naviga-
tion through the Florida Straits il ex.
ceedinsly dangerous, and the annual
losses from wreckage are enormous.
Onthis account, tits estimated, the ca
nal would save from one to one and a
half per cent. on insurance. And, of
course, with increased safety of naviga-
tion and lower cost, the traffic which
now makes use of the Gulf would large.
~ increase. Gen. Stone believes that
within a very short time after the com
pletion of the canal you will find that a
very large proportion Of the grain and
cotton OF the west and northwest, that
goes east by rail, would come down the
Mississippi and through the canal, and
the absurdity of driving cattle from
Texas away up to Kansas and Arkansas,
to be thence shipped by rail to eastern
markets, would also cease. There is no
enterprise now contemplated or in prog.
ress that would confer greater benefits
upon the commerce of the world than,
the Florida Ship Canal. or that could
depend upon a larger business" Per-
haps General Stone, in his enthusiasm
for the scheme, maenihes its importance
somewhat. But it is plain enough that
the proposed peninsular canal would be
OF wonderful advantage to the COM
merce of this country, and especially of
the southwest.
