DYNAMITE AND WIND.

Last Saturday night, the dynami-
tiers paid Rev. Sam Jones a visit at
Gainesville, and blew the floor out
OF his buggy house, as foretaste of
what might be expected. On Friday
Mr.. Jones in his sermon was very de-
mandatory Of those who secretly
thanked the prohibition law in Car
tersvile, and after using some sting
ing words, he concluded as follows
"Now | have had my say to you, |
will talk to you and reason with you
concerning what | have said and the
structures | have made on you. But
you and | can't fight. | would as
soon get into a pit with NANCY bull
dog, and gnaw with him, as to fight
such low down scoundrels as you are.
A man who will illicitly, sneakingly
perpetuate traffic on community
that has voted it out, is too mean for
me to belittle myself by personal
rencounter with him."
The dynamiters put in their work
while MIR. Jones was asleep, and the
explosion shook the windows of his
residence and created an upheaval of
the floor in his carriage house. Mr..
Jones says he had just as soon go to
heaven by dynamite as any other
way.
On Sunday night just before SER
vice a fearful gust of wind and torrent
of rain lifted the great gospel tent
from its moOrings and it settled down
upon about 300 people underneath it.
The widest confusion ensued. The
lamps fell and caught the straw, but
the wet canvass and rain kept down
conhagratiOn and the people rip
ped the canvass with knives and got
out into the darkness, wind and
drenching rain. No one was serious
ly hurt, although some were scratch
ed and bruised
Mr.. Jones will 90 to St. Joseph.
Mo-, where he will conduct another
big meeting.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY FARMING.

Mr.. W. r. Davis, of Culloden,
came to town yesterday with seven
bales of cotton which he picked off of
eight acres of land by the 18th inst.
Such a result We dare say was never
before accomplished by any one.
And more than this Mr.. Davis is sat
isted that he will get at least six OF
seven more bales from the same
ground. He has raised during the
past three years thirteen colts, and
has sold II for 81 ,275. 90 and the two
remaining he can get $500 for
Bay7lesviIle Gazette.
9. Nj. Wright, of Baldwin county.
had gathered from his nine-acre field,
up to Thursday morning last, five
bales of cotton weighing AS pounds
each. He expects to get as many
more bales Mtlledgeviile Recorder.
We reproduce the above articles
in the JOURNAL to show how money
can be made farming. 1t is done by
enriching few acres to the highest
susceptibility, and working them for
all they are worth. The result shows
that it is the part of wisdom to adopt
this mode of cultivating the soil. In
place of thin layer of manure over
an extensive area of land, and then
have to devote almost ceaseless labor
Of man and horse, to keep it proper.
ly and clearly worked, it is more re.
numerative by far to try the inten.
sive plan. 1t does not require the
time and industry to make ten bales
OF cotton on ten acres of land, en-
rlched to a high state of productive
ness, that it does to spread out ovel
twenty acres of thin and poorly fec
land and only get eight or min,
bales. And yet this latter mode il
the way most of the farming is don,
in this State, and if farming doesn'
pay, this is the ruling cause. Al
acre that will produce bale of cot
ton is worth two that only produce
a like amount, and yet anybod
knows it requires more to work tw
acres than it does one.

BIGOTRY,

DR.. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, the
most eminent Baptist divine in tn,
South, preached at Gainesville last
week. He said he had been con.
demned by some for participating il
union meetings, where all demonina.
tons We're represented, and that he
might have many things to repent Of
when he came to die, but this would
not be one of them. He turned
around in the pulpit and gave his
hand to Sam Jones, and bid him God.
speed in the great work he was do.
ing. 1t will now be in order to at
tack DR.. Hawthorne. But for
each and every stroke aimed at such
men, thousand consecrated men and
women, and Christian sympathizers
will spring up in their Defence

We are glad to see DR.. Hawthorne
exemplify such broad and liberal
Christian spirit in regarding every
true follow of Christ as a worthy co.
laborer and brother. Rev. Sam
Jones says if he had drop of secta-
rian blood in his veins, he would
take knife and split his arm and
let the muddy fluid run out.

George William Curtis. the editor

George William Curtis, the editor
of Harper's Weekly, says that he
cannot understand why John Sher-
man objects to such men as General
Fitzhugh Lee on the ground that
they were part and parcel of the late
Contederacy, and takes John S. Wise
to his bosom with friendliness that
betokens the utmost confidence and
sympathy. The matter is not diff
cult to understand Wise, who is an
ex-Confederate, has become a Repub-
lican, and that makes all the differ
ence in the world in Sherman's opin-
ion.

GOV. MCDANIEL.

The only thing that the Macon
Telegraph, in it's searching enmity,
can bring against Governor McDan-
iel's administration is that he didn't
appoint Richard Clark city Judge of
Atlanta, but gave the place to an
other worthy man. And as it is not
criminal for the Governor to have a
preference in his appointments, the
Telegraph really makes out Cover.
nor McDaniel's administration as ex.
ceptionally clean and praiseworthy
If Governor Mcdaniel has made only
one mistake while he has been in Of
fee, then he has exercised wisdom
and honesty that truly reflects cred
it upon the people in his election
We are satisfied that there is nothing
bad against Gov. Mcdaniel, or the
Telegraph would have given it to the
public.

A FLIMSY APHORISM.

Mr.. Beecher's remark that "abso-
lutte prohibition is an absolute impos-
sibility" is one of the best aphorisms
Of the year.-AuguSta Chronicle, an,
anti Prohibition paper.
Well, no prohibition advocate
thinks that absolute prohibition
could be attained by prohibition
law, any more than the law against
stealing, burglary and murder would
be absolute in preventing the com
mission of these crimes. There is
not law on the statute book of
Georgia but what is violated; but
would you, on account of these laws
being violated, say it is not right in
principle to have them in existence
Beecher's aphorism is just as appli-
cable to the law of marriage, but be-
cause the law of marriage is violated
by lustful adulterers and bigamous
scoundrels, we hope the editor of the
Chronicle would not contend that
there should be no marriage laws.
The object of all law is that society
may be protected, obedience incul-
Gated, and that the lawless natures of
men be kept in restraint. Abso-
lutte prohibition is not expected, but
the curtailment Of a great evil is ex-
pected, and wherever prohibition
is tried it accomplishes this desired
result. The Chronicle is hard push
ed for argument when it has to fall
back on Beecher and his Himsy Aphor-
ism

years to save that sum from his sala-
