A Bad Custom.

"The custom of mortgaging un-
grown crops" says the Columbus
Enquirer Sun, sis so common and
productive of SO much evil in some
parts Of the south that there is
more or less clamor for legislation
70 regulate or prohibit the practice.
In Arkansas many members OF tie
new Legislature were elected ur-
der pledges to work for repeal of
the law permitting such mort
cages. Farmers who have rented
land, ,or whose land is encumbered,
give these crop-mortgages as Sc
curity for supplies which they
must have. tits a common thing for
them to use this credit to tie ex-
treme limit that the storekeep will
allow. When the crop is harvest
ed its entire proceeds often fall q
little short of paying the mortgage,
and the farmer is not only again
without money or credit, but is
actually in debt and under obliga-
tions to the store keeper who hes
Accommodated" him. Such a
system of course means high in
terest and high prices for every
thing the farmer buys, yet it woulc,
seem very doubtful if a law pro-
hibiting these mortgages would
afford much relief. The Little
River Pilot remaks: "Our farmers
are free people, and the objection
able statute only permits and does
not require them to execute mort
cages upon their implanted
crops" This gives the case in a
nutshell. The evil is not in the
law so much as in a failure to live
within available means. No leg
islation will prevent men from
running in debt, or teach them
how to get out of debt, or live
within their incOn1a

TO Invesfirate Raehplora


The young ladies of fremont,
Nebraska, says an exchange, have
formed a committee to investigate
the character and habits of the
bachelors of that region. Their
method of operation is not madA
public, but that they do their work
well is not be doubted. They get
every bachelors record, and keep
hem on file for the inspection OF
the members, and woe betide the
unlucky wight who gets on their
black list. He cannot take mem
Der to singing school or to church,
feed her on oysters, or claim ac-
quaintance with her on the streets.
And when a Tremsnter evidences
a disposition to make lovs to a girl
OF that town she consults the ar
chives of the committee, ascertains
his habits and associations, how
many girls he has addressed, and
who they are, and takes his moas-
ure generally. She then know.
exactly how to act whethee to en-
courage his advances or decide tn
treat him as "a friend" Those
Fremont girls are business like.
They do not believe in waiting un-
til after marriage to find out the
character, ,ofthe man. We are not in
formed Row the young men regard
this action of the gills; but if they
know that their records are being
carefully kept and scanned they
will walk more uprightly. This
mark of enterprise on the part ol
these Nebraska girls only needs
to be made known to be copied BY
the young ladies all over the coun.

The Atlanta Capitol asks US
how it would do to keep the temp
tation of the saloon from the toll
ers" Well, we may refer that
back to the Capitol more properly
because Atlanta is supposed to be
monkeying with Prohibition. We
find in the columns of our esteem
ed contemporary that villainous
and destructive domestic wine"
is dispensed freely in Atlanta.
We find in the same columns, that
one man drinks kerosene in de-
fault of whiskey.
We find, in the same columns, a
concoction otopium and bitters is
dispensed to all comers in the At
lanta soloons. We are told that
anybody with gcquaintances in AZ
Ianta can get all the intoxicating
liquors he desires.
Therefore, we respectfully sug-
gest that when the Capitol shall
have solved the drinking problem,
for workingmen Or any other class,
it can give the benefit of its exper-
ience to other cities. Augusta
