The Void Ronds

Atlanta Correspondence AugustG Chronicle.
The holders Of the void bonds cling
tenaciOusly TO their worthless securities.
IL Is very natural, yet the effort will be
abortiye 10 secure their recognition. II is
fighting against the inevitable. The
status Of the holders Of these bonds has
in many respects materially changed. and
is probably constantly changing. The
bonds have been changing ownership each
time for smaller amount, until IL Is very
questionable If the entire batch repre-
sents an actual outlay In the present
holders Of more than $3.50, 900 for the entire
100000. Spectators have bought them
up for a song, taking the chances on them.
When Col. Tom Snead made his com
promise proposition 10 the Georgia Legis-
iature he stated that 81, SOC. 900. Ia round
numbers, represented the amount actually
paid on these securities, and agreed 10
take this amount Of new bonds in lieu Of
the whole batch. The Colonel made a
Jealous effort 10 put II through. Since
then new owners have bought the bonds
in blocks for comparatively small sums,
the holders selling In despair of realizing
anything more, and the purchasers being
willing 10 risk little for so much,
There have been some manifest equities
in certain special Issues Of these bonds,
aud such men as eX-6Oy. Jenkins, Alex
ander Stephens, Senator Brown and
others advocated these special equities.
And Gov. Bullock has very unfairly
quoted these distinguished gentlemen as
urging recognition Of the entire bonds,
when they merely referred 10 particular
bonds. The Ex-Governor very naturally
desires b. make bis official connection
with these bonds as pure and legal as
possible. But he cannot explain some
matters satisfactorily. The facts are
against him, aud he would be wise not 10
agitate the matter. SO far as Georgia Is
concerned, the bonds are dead.

sANFoRDs DISTINCTION.
The Head OF Navigation and the Termi-
nal Point of a Railroad

SANFORD, FLA, June 27.-Sanford en-
joys the distinction of being the head
quarters and terminus Of the South Florl-
da Railroad, the head Of navigation of the
st. Johns river, ana one Of the very few
towns in the State having system Of
water works and an abundant supply OF
good water. This would seem to be enough
for the average Florida town, but Sanford
is not satisfied and wants more railroads.
Much time was spent IN talking about
railroads, and nothing definite was ac-
cOmplished until the Sanford and Lake
Eustis road became certainty. Articles
OF incorporation have been asked for and
the money secured, and work will begin
to-day. This road is TO run from Sanford
10 point on Lake Eustls, where cOnnec-
tiOn IL 10 be made with the Florida South
ern or Navigation Company's lines, af-
fOrding an outlet by all rail and by COM
peting lines both North and West.
The distance Is about 30 miles, and
with this line In operation and the
splendid water facilities, Sanford should
be able 10 largely increase her trade. BY
the extentiOn Of the Sanford and Indian
River Railroad TO Oveido, an entirely
new and very productive region will be
opened up, afordiDg an opening TO San.
ford 10 build a permanent trade and
greatly promote her prosperity and lmpOr-
lance. The road from Enterprise 10
Titusyille will also help Sanford,
and the future outlook for our
town IS much more encouraging.
The burning on Tuesday night Of Presl-
dent Ingraham's house near Sanford, re-
suits in very great loss 10 him. The In
surance Is only 81, 900 and the loss fully
$4,000. Mr.. and Mrs. Ingraham were
away at the time In Orlando at the cele-
bratiOn there. AT this time Sanford is
greatly 10 need OF better hotel accOmmo-
datlons. the Sanford and Everglade being
both closed. IL would pay the managers
OF the Sanford House 20 keep a part OF
their hotel open all the year, besides be-
ing OF immense advantage 20 the town.
July viii be celebrated by graud dis
play OF fireworks, base ball match and
other attractions. All the boats and rail-
roads have made cheap rates, and big
crowd Is expected.

SIR essrS County 4gyala,
IsLAND -. NovEMBER Is. -.

The result or the Ohio election
has given new hope and courage to
the Prohibitionlsts throughout the
country, and everywhere they are
preparing to make a more formid-
able showing at the polls than on
any previous occasion. The official
returns show that while Hoadly's
vote fell off more than seventeen
thousand, and Foraker's increased
over eleven thousand, that of DR..
Leonard was nearly twenty thous-
and in excess Of the vote Schu-
maker, the Prohibition candidate,
received in 1888, or about two hun
bred and fifty per cent. The natu-
raj result Of this remarkable growth
is that the OHIO Prohibitionists, SO
far from relaxing their efforts, will
renew the fight with greater vigor
When a movement of this sort
draws to itself sufficient strength tC
make its ultimate success probable
its increase is very rapi id. The poll
ticians take hold of it just as they
have done in Maine, Iowa and Kan

The approaching general election
in Great Britain, which takes place
about the middle of this month, will
occur under entirely novel and un-
tried conditions. The old House of
Commons contained 652 members;
the new will contain 60 members.
The number of electors on the old
registration rolls was little over
5000, 900. The new registration
will contain not many short of o.
10000 of electors in the three
Kingdoms. Household suffrage,
which has existed ever since 1861 in
the British boroughs only, has, by
the recent Reform act, been ex-
tended not only to the British coun-
ties, but to the entire Irish electo-
rate. Every Briton and Irishman
who lives in a dwelling or in lodg-
ings is entitled to vote. One step
further in electoral reform would
bring the three kingdoms to the
democratic simplicity of manhood
suffrage. The issue of the election
is very uncertain. Each party is
catering for the electoral vote, and
much will depend on the turn the
Irish vote may take.

The COlOred Race.

"Twcnty years ago." said the Secretary
of the Freedman's Aid Society before the
Presbyterian General Assembly in Gin.
cinnati recently, there were in the South
ern States 3,9i7,000 colored people, and
now there are more than Z 100000. Then
there were in Mississippi 100000, negroes,
and now $4,000. Then there were in Geor-
gia 154,0O0 negroes, now 125,000. Then
Where were in South Carolina 400, 000, and
now more than COO,0O0. Five hundred
colored babies are born in the United
States every day. The colored population
of the United States doubles every twenty
years the white population only once in
thirty-fye years. Eight years viii not
have passed before the negroes will be in a
numerical majority in some of the South
ern States. At the present rate of in
crease, in 1885 there will be $4,000, COO
white people in the United States, and
1872, 100000 colored people. The day is not
far distant when it will be a physical i'm
possibility 10 continue the present practice

Of the Southern States. In South Carolina
he has bought and paid for 30 eco acres of
land, W hich he cultivates. In the South
he pays taxes on more than S9l coo, 600 of

adopt the do-as-little as-possible pol
icy. The young man who act upon
that principle never succeeds. His
own unfaithfplness and dishonesty
bind upon him a burden with which
he cannot rise. Other men are pro.
noted, but he keeps the place where
he began. He is never esteemed in
his calling, because he is no credit
to it, and because he has no pride in
it and no ambition TO succeed by
serious effort.

A FATAL MOTTO.

Not long since young man who
was inquiring into the nature of an
employment offered him, asked
"What is the least time in which |
can learn enough about it to get
along?" This question is suggestive
because it shows a tendency to has
ten to secure rewards without the
proper amount of labor. Here was
q young man with all of his active
life before him. He could afford TO
take time to acquire the details of
business, but he preferred to get
just enough knowledge of it. to en-
able him to perform the duties re-
quired of him so that he could hold
the position and no more. To him
anything more than the barest
knowledge or skill which would in
sure him against discharge was lost.
He was in hurry to get into a po-
sition where he could get compen-
sation, but he had no desire to be
worthy of the hire he sought and no
ambition to be considered a thor.
ough wo rkman. 1t never occurred
to him that something is due to the
craft which he proposed to join and
to the men who paid for his SER
vices. On the contrary, he was
counting on giving the poorest and
most unskilled services which would
be accepted for the wages he COW
eted. His aim was to give the least
for the most, and if he could have
secured wages for no services what
ever he would have done so, even if
such course involved questionable
action. This is not an exceptional
case. Every community has such
young men and such men who have
been young. That there are such
is due i'll part to haste TO get into
employments and partly by desire
TO get along with as little effort as
possible. To this very general senti-
ment can be attributed the large
number of inefficient men who
crowd every branch of human in,
dustry. Poor mechanics, shlftless
and needless laborers, listless and
dishonest salesmen-in short, all
sorts of ineffieiency and lack of pur-
pose in men in every walk in life.
1t is this feeling which fills com
munities with shirkers, and eventu-
ally with all kinds of men who lie
in wait to seize the earnings of other
men.
1t scarcely need be said that the
men who thus enter the employ
ments of a community are a him
drance and check upon prosperity
that slack, listless and unskilled
labor is the bane of successful in
dustry. But great as is the incon-
venience and loss which this spirit
of inehiciency and Sinking brings
10 others, it is small compared with
that suffered by the persons who
