Cuthbert and Her Railroad.
Cuthbert Appeal.

Cuthbert Appeal.
1t is our opinion the principal rail
road developments Of the State will
be upon paper. nothing more until
the unjust and iniquitous railroad
commission bill is repealed or mate
rally modified. There is not local
capital enough in any section needing
roads to build them, and capitalists
do not rush after Investments where
they have no voice in their manage
msnt The strong corporations will
soon absorb the weaker ones, as i! is
only question of time, in our
Judgment, when the wrongs daily
practiced under the provisions of this
law will begin to manifest themselves
in crushing force. Cuthbert and 9TH
er points are figuring for new and
additional railroad facilities, but
where is che money to come from2
The liberality of the Central is our
only hope. That she will make addi-
tional and large investments in build
ing new roads does not appear rea-
sonable when she can buy so many
roads already in operation at a much
less cost than to build. When the
next Legislature meets, and it begins
to cast up accounts as TO the opera
tons of this commission law, we have
no doubt but that it will be so amend.
ed as to deal equitably between all
parties. 1t works great injury to
the permanent development of the
States resources while the so-called
advantages, when carefully analysed,
are unsatisfying and OF no conse-
quence. Equitable legislation will
build more roads in one year in Geor-
gal than all the newspaper pufs
could construct in acentury. To get
more accommodations we must pro
pose to deal fairly with our benofac-
tors.

A Prediction.

NJ. Quad places this prediction on
record, and those who are acquainted
with the situation will sec that he
underestimates the potentialities of
the future. OF Alabama he saws
that ten years hence she will supply
great part of the country with coal
and iron. In that time Selma.
Huntsville and Montgomery will
nearly double their population
Birmingham will have from 10000
to $4,000. The state will have two
or three more railroads, two or
more larger stove works, at least two
canning factories and score of new
towns. OF Georgia he says Atlanta
ten years hence will have $4,000
more population and every town and
city in the state will have steadily
gained. Scores of new industries
will be in existence, capital will be
increased by millions. Colored help
will almost entirely be replaced by
white labor. Fruit and truck will
be shipped to every northern mar
ket. An immense fruit canning fac
tory will be started between Atlanta
and Macon. There will be a hundred
more sawmills, half dozen great
agricultural and machine works and
every county in the stats will have
railroad running through it. Per-
haps in the near future Connect
cut will buy her rattraps in Mont
gomery, and Michigan her plows in
Atlanta. These glimpses of the fu-
ture may startle some of IL. Qaad's
readers, but people who have wit
messed the gigantic strides of this
section in the last decade will con
slider the pictlre altogether too
tame.

A Chicago Deacon III a Dilema.

A West Side deacon was vending
his way homeward through the
Washington street tunnel the other
evening when he noticed a trim
looking young woman just ahead of
him. At point directly under the
river she paused, and when he came
up to her she said peremptorily =
''Kiss me or I'll holer."
The deacon paused for a second in
breathless surprise, but. being some
what up in the ways of the sinful
world, observed slowly:
And if &c kiss you you'll hol-
Ter, wont you p
I'll never tell said she. Some
now, do you want me to yell p
He heard approaching footsteps
and be knew if he was to avoid a
scandal be had to get out Of there
He took to his heels and the girl
screamed. Two men tried to stop
him, but he knocked them down and
got away, They made pursuit and
turned in a police alarm, the girl
meantime wailing dismally and de,
claring that he had insulted her. He
managed to escape an infatuated
populace and wendell his way home.
Yesterday morning the newspaper
carrier on his route received orders
to deliver every paper published in
Chicago at the deacon's house regu-
larry for ona month, for he was
thinking of buying real estate and
he wanted to sec all the advertise
ments.

Sen. Browns Mormon Speeches

Union and Recorder.
We see that one of our contenipo.
raries misunderstands the scope and
purpose of Senator Browns Nor
mon speeches and attacks him wrong
fully. No one can read these speech
es carefully without endorsing every
word in them.
LIST. Senator Brown condemns po
lygalny without stint, and desires
constitutional legislation to remedy
it,
FL. Senator Brown opposes the
Edmunds bill, because it is in con-
tlict with the constitution.
Sd. Senator Brown believes in at
lacking not only Mormon avowed
ploygamy but the unavowed practic-
es of practical polgyamy that exists
in New England.
The truth is, that Senator Brown
has struck two key notes in this mat
ter.
One is against unconstitutional
legislation, even for good purposes.
The other Is the exposure of the
Northern Parisse, who villifes South
ern civilization. when that of the
North is worse
Let us stop lifting up our voices
against our Southern statesmen, who
have the courage to speak the truth.
The time has come and Senator
Brown with his usual sagacity sees
it, for the South to stand up square.
ly to the North in the assertion of
our civilization
In his able Mormon speeches SEN
ator Brown stands in two splendid
attitudes and should have the fullest
Southern support. He is the cham
plon OF the Constitution and the foe
man of Northern immortality.
The overwhelming majority of
our people and papers sustain Sierra
tor Brown in this matter A few
misconceived him, becauss they have
either not read him at all, or read
him carelesSly. When they under
stand him, they will approve his posi-
tons.
The Senator has created profound
impression everywhere, and has put
New England to great disadvantage
in her choice crusading against the
South.

USE OF COTTON SEED MEAL Some
farmers seem to think that cotton
seed meal is better when used alone
on corn or cotton than when mixed
with acid phosphate and kainit. This
is a mistake, as both of these fertiliz-
ers add to the value of the compound.
Cotton seed meal contains nearly 9
per cent. of ammonia, only 25-S of
potash, aud, therefore when acid
phosphate which contain about 135
per cent. of phosphoric acid. and
kainit, which has over ID per cent.
of potash, are added, a powerful
manuring will be formed. The most
economical and effective proportions
900 pounds of cotton seed cake,
500 pounds acid phosphate and $50
pounds kainit, which compound
will contain about 6 per cent of
phosphoric acid, ammonia and pot
ash. and will cost at the rate of about
$2l to SOB per ton. 1t must be
borne in mind that the three chsmi-
cal elements mentioned are those

Equalization of Taxes.
News and Advertiser.

There was not a more important
measure before the last Legislature
than the measure looking to the equal
ization of our tax assessments. Its
failures to become a law reflects no
credit upon our law makers. No
doubt many people misunderstood its
real significance, and demagogues
took advantage of this error and
made them believe that the law pro,
posed was only a trick to take away
from the people the right of fixing
the valuation of their own property.
The bill was lost. Since the adj
journment new developments have
been made. Investigations of the
tax receivers books aud the comp
troller-genera's reports exhibit a
state Of public morals on this subject
that is truly appalling to an hnoest
man, and especially when he is doing
all he can to place the State upon a
true financial basis, and bring it to a
condition which viii insure prosper
ty and solvency for all time to
come.

should continue her TO him as a wife.

nit it.
He would try, in an humble, mod
est way, to do the will of God, and,
in his relations to all men, lovingly
to "work righteousness
He would by some honest means
for cash or credit-by purchase,
gift or inheritance, own a tract of
land IN Georgia, OF three quarter
sections in Alabama-not less than
two hundred acres nor more than two
hundred and forty. Here he would
fix his earthly home for the whole
term of his natural life, and, having
plain substantial houses, and COM
modious outhouses and shelters,
with one hundred and fifty acres of
open land, besides orchards, garden,
patches, lots, etc, he would begin to
cultivate his farm.
This farm he would divide into
three equal fields, of fifty acres each,
and eight hands, and give them four
good mules and yoke of oxen to
cultivate it with.
lie would plant one thousand wal
nut trees. Twenty or thirty years
hence, their yield of nuts and timber
would be worth large sum.
He would plant five acres in fig
trees, and learn how to dry, pre-
serve, and pack the figs Mt o boxes
for market After a few years, The
proceeds would be profit of a thou
sand dollars annually.
He woold plant five acres in Soup
pernong grape vine. In few years
the wine would be worth several
thousand dollars annually.
He would plant five acres in sugar
cane, and manufacture his own syrup
and molasses, and little surplus.
He would cultivate five acres of
cabbage with the pillow, and use them
in making slops for milk cows and to
fatten hogs. This, with plenty of
turnipS, sweet potatoes (noas are
half equal to the yam) and hay,
would always secure milk and butter
in abundance.
He wsuld cut his bitches OIL a per-
feet level, draw the dirt on the up
perside, fill up low places, use the
bitches for guide rows and to protect
the bottoms from inundation, and he
would manure the hill tops.
He would manufacture ten tons Of
compost, at a cost Of not more than
one ton of guano, or any popular
superphosphate, possessing in value
to crop and soil. twice the value of
the single ton of commercial manure
In another article, he will tell some
thing about how to do this.
