Where the $50, 900, 900 Goes.

Atlanta constitutional
The farmers of Georgia dug out of
Georgia soil last year the following
leading products, with the following
value:
Cotton, 941, 1866 bales, worth for
the lint $40, 900, 900, and for the $780,
900 tons of seed 100000.
Oats, IL, SAB, $40 bushels at 81 cents
a bushel worth Sc, $50, 900.
Wheat, 8, 5000, 600 bushels at 1.25,
worth 81, $4,000,
Corn, 36,963, $40 bushels at Sc
cents, worth 100000.
This gives a grand total of $97,-
403, 900, and does not include the rye,
rice, hay, potatoes, sugar-cane, peas,
eggs, butter, chickens, sheep, cattle,
hogs, fruit, vegetables, and the hun
bred other articles that go to make
up miscellaneous crop, and that
would certainly swell the total up to
800, 600, 900 for the products of our
farms for the year.
Where has all this money gone p
What has become of the $780, 900
that our farms have given us as the
total value of our leading crops.
The answer comes back to us from
every side. The desk on which we
write was brought from the North,
and so was the pencil with which we
write. Part of the eighty millions
was sent out of the State to buy the
carpet on our Office floor, the curtains
on its windows, the ink-stand In front
of us, the knife, the paper-cutter, the
chair we sit In, the shoes, coat, vest,
brooches, buttons, collar, cravat, hat
and underclothes we wear; the sofa
in the corner, the wardrobe, wash
stand, bowl and pitcher and slop
bowl, the stove, the spittoons, the
matches, the mantlepiece, the locks
on the doors, the files for our news
papers, the mucilsge pot and the
mucilage, the water bucket and
dipper, the scissors, and even the
waste basket. The only homemade
thing in the room is mock-kneed
white deal table that is disgrace to
it's section, and the writer of the lines,
who, to say the least of it, is not
knock-kneed.
This is where the money goes. Out
of the State to buy about everything
that we wear or use-all that clothes
our wife and children, or decorates
our homes. Such drain, constant
and strong, for small things as well
as large, will consume many a million
of the dollars that the patient and
strong farmers have dug out of
the ground.
What we need to supplement the
splendid work of our farmers, is man
ufactures We need factories that
will supply the articles that we are
now sending money out of the State
to buy. We are moving rapidly in
that direction. New factories are be-
ing built and new articles made at
home. Even now we note that the
watch at which we have glanced to
catch the time, and the humble but
useful broom that q rat has Just
tumbled down behind our office door,
and the sashes that the keen west
wind is rafting in our windows, for
merly all imported, were all made
right here in Atlanta. But until a
great many more factories are built
within our borders we will be want
ing to know where the money goes as
the totals of year after year are foot
ed up.

How a Gas Well Cleared its Throat.

A few days ago the familiar. roar of
the great natural curiosity of Washing
ton county, the McGugan gas well, sud-
denly ceased. The deafening noise was
SO conspicuous by its absence that many
persons gathered at the we'll and won
dered if the great natural gas retort had
suddenly collapsed. In fifteen minutes
after the stoppage a peculiar and fearful
sound issued from the depths of the
Michigan, like the gurgling gasps Of
some imprisoned monster. Then some
PARTICLES Of gravel made their appear
ance at the vent. Following this came
an upward rush of gas, gravel, sand and
mud, that blew the casing hundred
feet into the air and sent the gravel
clear out of sight, to return in such a
pelting storm Of stony hail as made the
countryman flee to the hillsides. Hav-
ing cleared its throat the well settled
down to it's usual tremendous flow Of
gas, but the noise Of the escaping vapor
was louder than before and can be dis
tinctly heard in Washington Wheel

Marquis De Mores' Abattoir.

The Yellowstone Journal says A letter
received from Count de Mores states that
he has purchased all the machinery for
his beef slaughtering and canning es-
Enlistment here, and that it has been
shipped. The board of trade Of this city
have secured for the enterprise a location
about two miles from town, on the Vel
loWstone river, with ample water facil-
tiles and trackage. Arrangements have
been made to build the houses at once
and put up the necessary amount of ice
this winter, SO that active operations
can be commenced in the spring. The
count has also made satisfactory ship
ping arrangements, covering a term Of
years, Within Northern Pacific refrige-
rator company, and is thus assured
uninterrupted transportation to the meat
markets Of the world. Tt is estimated
that when the institution is in operation
some 900 persons will be employed. This
is the first and only beef s%laughtering
and canning establishment in Montana.

truef of persons in the newspaper profess
sion than it is in the thousands of other
professions and business occupations in
the world. A young man may be sud
denly elevated to a prominent position
by. as 1T would seem, mere chance; but,
unless he evlnces energy, activity, in
dustry and ability. he will not hold the
position by mere chance, or through any
other medium of favor, but will be sum-
marily bounced.
1t matters not whether it be a boy who
eby chance secured employment in a
grocery store, where his duties are only
to Wrestle with sugar and molasses bar
rels, sort out and deliver potatoes, or to
weigh Goldfish or the boy who suddenly
drops into q seat in a lawyers Office
where he can, between running errands
and sweeping out the office, pack away
in his menlory's storehouse chunks of
HBlackstone'' and intricate masses of
legal problems. The boy in both in
stances must show a reasonable amount
of intelligence, courtesy and industry, or
some kind of an accidentWill as suddenly
GUST him as "chance" placed him in the
position.
In the case mentioned above, Mr.. Reid
was a young mar when he grappled
with the duties and responsibilities of
his position; not as young, perhaps, as
the boy who steps into a workshop to
learn a trade, but young enough SO that
he could, had he not kept his eyes wide
open and his brain and hands busy,
made mistakes which would not have
passed as accidents, but which would
have slid him into obscurity so uncere-
moniously as to surprise him. 81

PASSING WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Exploits OF n Young Man from New York
in This City.

Exploits OF n Young Man from New York
i'm This City.
A young man giving the name of Frank
Christie, of very prepossessing appearance
and apparently about 20 years of age, was
arrested by Officer Howe yesterday afternoon
and locked up at the Twelfth street police
station for passing worthless check OH Mr..
George j. Smith Christie told o reporter of
THE REPUBLICAN that he was resident of
New York and was of good family
his brother holding at one time q
high position under the government.
He has the appearance Of one
one who has been we'll raised. His first known
exploit in the forgery business in this city
was day or so ago, when he engaged room
at No. 225 b street northwest of a Mrs Potts,
giving her a check for $15 in payment for
j. b. Brookes, of Baltimore, on the Third
National bank of that city. He gave Mr..
Smith similar one, the only difference
being in the amount, which was $50. In the
latter case he purchased pair of shoes worth
$3.50, and received the difference in
cash, and in the former he was
paid back $3.50. Christie sold the shoes
aud he sent colored boy after theH surplus
change due him from Mrs. Potts.
TO this lady he said that he wished her to
have his bookcase and baggage handled with
care, as they were valuable, and that friend
would be here in two weeks to share the
room with him. He gave the name of SEN
ator Voorhees, as reference, and that, con-
nected with his good address and appearance
quite won the favor and good opinion of his
dupes. He told the detectives that he will 90
to prison for ten years before divulging his
prODeI name,
