Count the Cost.

Everything, no matter now slhail'
has some value. Everything used
about any shop, mill or place of bus
mess costs something, and no matter
how small il is, or how little its cost,
it should in some way be accounted
for. The old Scotch saying, "mony
a mickle makes a muckel ]" should
always be kept in sight. Everything
purchased should be thoroughly
weighed and its value noted. The
price paid for thing is not an expo
nent of its value. It's value consists
in the return it brings. A book, pa
per, machine or appliance is of no
kind of value to it's owner unless it
gives him something in return, or
renders an equivalent for time or
money expended, and we should
'scount the cost before buying.
Before buying any machine we
should see it, or its duplicate, work
ING under all the conditions the ma
chine is calculated to work under,
and in no case buy a second quality
of tool or one that will do a small
amount or an inferior quality of
work. The cost should be counted,
and if more is paid for it than it will
return to us in work performed, it is
a dear purchase.
The cost should be counted in buy
ing betting. A poor belt is costly at
any price, for it never runs well or
pulls we'll, and costs more in time TO
lace and relace and patch than two
or three good belts would in the end.
Lacing should be carefully selected.
If YOU trust to the dealer to select
hides or lacing for you, he always
has n few hides of poor quality, and
it is to his interest to get rid of this
poor stock, and if you leave the Sc
lection 10 him you will probably get
one of these poor hides, therefore it
is best always, before cutting them
up. t. soc how much it will cost YOU
to use it.
The first cost of anything is n small
item, and not single thing should
be bought because it can be bought
''for a mere song" What will it cost
to use or run it, comparatively? If it
is machine, count the cost of oil,
betting, time spent in repairs, and
amount and quality of work done in
given time, and compare it with an
other machine doing the same kind
of work,
In buying files there should be
a close discrimination, for files are
curious things to buy. There are
thousands of them so poor that a junk
dealer would not run the risk of
stealing them, for the cost of carry
ing them to his pile of old iron would
be more than they were worth. The
only way to get good files is to count
the cost of using, and get hold of
some firm like Kearney & Foot, who
always furnish first-class file, and
stick to them. Don't ever buy, or
beg, or even borrow, an acid re-cut
file.
Count the cost in hiring labor, and
be careful in selecting it. A man
may be good man for somebody, but
not for you. A man to be of value
in any particular business must be
adapted to it, and be able to do it
with ease and despatch. Simply be-
cause he is man is no sign that he
will be of value to you as an employe.
Count the cost of everything in the
sense of what value it will be to you
in using.

Tho Wealth Of Georgia.

II accurate idea Of the increasing
wealth Of Georgia is given in some
statistics recently published by Tie
comptroller general Of the State, and
summarized III the News several weeks
ago. In 1878 the aggregate valuation of
all the property i'll the State. was $2Gi, e
959, ,5lS, OF Which 50, $50, 40 was i'll raul
roads. There has been decided i'll
crease every year since, until in 1887 the
aggregate is $3il, ,50l,92l, and OF Ni4
$24, 800, 692 is i'll railroads. So it will bc
seen that i'll nine ycals there has been
an increase in property values Of sos,
5l5, ,373, of which $0l, ,5l1, $40 is in real
and personal property, and $50, O33, 4G3
i'll railroad property. Tie record made
by tho colorcd people OF Georgia since
1870 is also very crcditablc. in 1879
they owned property assessed nj 81, 1%2, O.
39S, whilst i'll 1887 their property hold
ing aggregated $500, ~, an increase Of
nine years of }53,575, ,007, Or over seventy.
