Diversified industries in tile South
has been the theme of exhortation
upon the part Of the newspapers for
many years, and, now. that 1t is
about to be realized there area few
croaking ones irving to throw all the
''colI wafer upon the movement
possible They dou't come right
,quarely out aud oppose it, bul they
shoot their sarcastic shafts OF spleen
at all other papers in Ire state that
have the enterprise and pluck TO fos
ter it. Newspapers, however, in
point Of temper aHd character, are
but the pinbo ,imeHt of the DISPOSE
ton of those who happen to run
them, and as we meet with people
who are ALWAYS ready to oppose any
thing looking to the common inter
IS of the country, so we may ex-
pect 10 find the same spirit, occa-
sioually, manifested by newspapers
These papers, however, are iugenu-
oos enough to hide their thrusts un-
der the cover If "admonitions,"
''prudence,' caution" and such like
terms, but, all the same, the effect is
is not changed We cannot believe
that even the newspapers which
pursue this line Of policy are sincere,
they didn't happen to get the
lead in this matter aud now they
are ready to fight tue whole move
ment III order to stigmatize he
record Of some of their more enter
prisiug contemporaries.
ODe OF the early pioneer settlers
of this state was a great hunter In
those lays the woods were alive with
deer 1t was no trouble TO get a
chase Al any hour of the day This
hifutar kept a fine pack of hounds
an ] among thamwas one by the name
OF Killhuck. IfKillbuck happened to
strike the trail OF leer first aud was
the first to Jump it he was the best
rnnncr in the pack and always held
On longest But Just SO sure as an,
other dog started up the deer old
Killbuck would drop his tail be
tween his legs and refuse to join il
the chase altogether. We shal
make 40 application OF the moral con
tanned in the above story bat ieav,
our rea lers the discretion of doing
that themselves.
That diversified industries, howev-
CT. will prove an inrstimable boor
70 the Sonth we think there is n'
newspaper in Georgia so sillY a. tC
DENY. The effect Of the melon anC
track industry viii not only prove ;
source Of great revenue to thos,
engaged in il, but it will be felt b,
every other class Of planters auC
persons. We are can iii to say tia
we do not share in the apprehension
that seems to move some Of our more
faithless coHtemporaries-that on
melon and truck men will glut til,
markets, aud, therefore, rot be ahl
to dispose Of their crops. The ia
ciIities for handling and distributing
these crops are well nigh appoach
ing perfection, and we doubr no
that thrice the amount coul,
be disposed Of at lucraliv,
prices. The ore great Ting needfn
Is caution upon the part Of shipper
in the selection of their agents, anC
when this is done there need be II,
more teaI as to results. In anothe
article upon this subject we propos
to show the benefits that even tn
cotton planter will derive from thi
new industry.

The following is related as fact to the
Macon Telegraph ana Messenger. In one
Of the "dry" towns ON the Macon and
Brunswick railroad merchant hit upon an
ingenious plan IF furnishing the people
with whisky lie bought a lot Of cocoa
nuts, and after emptying the milk, filled
them up with the coveted liquor, forming
something of cOcoanut teddy The other
day the minister of the town went in the
store and wanted to buy q cocoanut. The
merchant was in despair, but managed to
tell the gent Of the cloth that the nuts were
unsound. The minister seemed anxious to
procure one, and told til merchant that if
they had EilA in them they were all right
and shaking one, was convinced of their
soundnesS. The merchant could do moth
ing more, and sold him one, hoping that he
would get out Of the scrape in some way.
In about half an hour after the minister
left, the merchant receiv a note from him
saying Send me six more cocoanuts ex-
actly like the one rpurc based of YOU"

Hear what the Beuna Vista 4rq,ey has to
say upon the subject Of negro education:
After nearly twenty years Of freedom
and educational privileges free schools
provided by the State in the vain hope of
fitting them for the position they 50 sud
denly occupied as citizens-they have no
more practical knowledge than when they
began, but ishas untitled them for worl,
and stocked them with egotism and con.
ceit. The more they are schooled the lazier
they become, and their binding erotisn
actually renders them more ignorant Of all
practical matters than when in their
primitive state. Their superstition and
prejudices render conviction from their
present erroneous views utterly foreign to
