SENTIMENT

A writer in the Griffin Sun, among
other things, has this to say about
sentiment
"Talk to me about sentiment
denounce it, if you will-but it is
my life, my sool, my glory. Strange,
think you, dear readers But the
man without sentiment is the egg
without the meat, the fruit without
flavor, the flower without odor, the
bird without song, the sun without
light, the man without soul. How
utterly insignigcant is he how little
has he to live for how useless in
this world of light, of life, of love,
the man who feeds not on senti-
ment."

Are not the laws of Virginia able
to check this sort OF thing ?" inquir-

The New York Evening Post has
commendatory word to say of Gov
ernor McDaniel's executive indie,
pendence. The Post says: "Gov
ernor Mcdaniel, of Georgia, in max
ing appointments to fill vacancies,
seems to be very little affected by
petitions. Heretofore, applications
for offices have been made to the
Governors of Georgia by means of
papers filled with the recommends
tons of persons of influence. That
these Endorsements for the most part
have no significance is we'll known +;
in fact, the same names often appear
on the petitions of the several candi-
dates for the same office. There is
reason to think that this practice
may, during the present administra
ton at least, fall into utter disuse."

RICHEST COMMUNITIES.

The richest and most thrifty com
munities are those having the great
est diversity of labor. The reason
is obvious. Diversity of trades in~
creases the chances of fortune, and
encourages the greater number to
activity. 1t also enriches the Ian>
gusge of a nation by supplying a
variety of terms, increased 10 pro
portion to the diversity of pursuits
Those nations and communities which
have most rapidly diversified their
industries have been the foremost in
all ages, in conquest, in influence, In
material advancement and 10 intel
lectual vigor. Leading men 10 our
Southern towns and cities should
keep these facts in view. Every
possible encouragement should be
given even to the smallest manufac-
turer. II may be the beginning OF
a giant industry, to add thousands in
population and wealth to the COM
munity. One active, enterprlsing
man with a little means is worth
more to the community than fifty
wealthy nonentities.-Sav. News.
The above is true, and what Ma.
rietta needs to increase her prosper
ity is more manufacturing and in,
dustrial enterprises. These would
give employ ment to mechanics, who
would buy our goods, rent our
houses, patronize our schools, and
contribute to the prosperity Of the
community generally.

a minister is charity. As a class
they receive less compensation for
labor performed than any other peo-
