You want to know about the chill

tinct classes-the rich, the middle and
the low class. Those of the first class
are nicely behaved, dress very much
like you al do in the States, and, If, of
Spanish or French parentage, are
almost white. The majority are very
dark conlplcctcd, like our mulatto ne
gro. They are very polite when they
have good parents. When they 60 to

La bendicion (the blessinglmamma or
papa,' and bow their head. The pa
rent raises the hand, and, making the
sign of the cross over the head of the
child, says: "Dios te bcndiga, hijo,"
which means, "God bless thee, my
chiid,' and they do the same ut morn
ing. They are taught to pray to some
saint, the Virgin, or Joseph, or Peter,
or some other, which is drawn on pa

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Record has
given much attention to the indus
trial development of the South. A
special edition this week is devoted to
cotton manufacturing in that region.
Extensive correspondence locates
every mill and amount of machinery
in each. There are 294 mills, hav-
ing l,495,l45 spindles and "a, 006
looms, against l79 mills, with 713,-
$50 spindles aud 1920 looms in
1880, showing an increase of over
one hundred per cent. The mills
now building and old mills enlarging
will take 49, 900 spindles and 1880
looms so that in 1888 the South will
have in operation 1,736,000 spindles
and $500 looms. This increase of
100 per cent. at the South is special
ly noticeable, In view of the fact that
the increase in the rest of the coun-
try during the same period was only
20 per cent. The value Of cotton
goods manufactured in the South in
1887 wrs $4,000 600 against s2l ,O0O,-
600 in 1880.
Reports published from the most
noted cotton manufacturers of she
South, show that some fear over pro-
duction, unless Southern mills di-
verslfy the character of their goods.
All unite in saying that business is
now very profitable, and the fact that
such great mills as the Piedmont
Pelzer, Clifton and Pacolet, OF South
Mag,hnis, Of New Orleans,
and Wesson, of Mississippi, are
spending from S250,000 to 100000
in enlarging their capacity, manifests
their faith in the fortune Of tho bust

majority Of those who may hope

go on, year after year, struggling
to rise to some coveted point at
which they propose to begin enjoy
ment, which point seems to be ever
receding. A few mark out in early life
definite aim, which they keep all
the time distinctly in view; but only
o few of this few ever make tins pro-
posed plan an accomplished fact.
One thing after another diverts the
individual from the course marked
out, aud in the end he finds, on re-
Prospect, that he has accomplished
very little of his plannings. One,

spends his days in the anxious and
harasslng struggle for place and pow
er. Another, who proposed the at
tainment of elevated rank and lofty
position, dies in the very depths of
obscurity, 1t were amiss to say that
the purposes have no control over
the career. Yet it is most true that
the barks in which the greater mum
Der sail are drifted by unexpected
currents rather than steered by far
directing Wills.
But while the details Of life may
be affected by circumstances which
no human foresight can discern, its
general outlines should be controlled
by certain fixed principles This is a
question which the individual must
determine, and in which he is not
likely to be disappointed. He can
and must decide whether or not hon

his conduct or whether he shall be
the creature Of capricious impulse
Having resolved to be true, his life
will hardly be failure if he has the
bravery to maintain that resolution.
The wrecks that are thickly strewn
all along the tide-way of human his
tory have been caused by failure to
obey the pointings of the compass OF
truth. Whenever there is turning
from this to watch the uncertain
yane of expediency, dashing away
upon breakers may be anticipated.
If ones purpose in life is the attain
ment of a higher place of moral ex-
cellence, he must in every instance
subordinate the question Of princi-
pie.

ENCOURAGE YOUR TOWN PAPER.

From one OF our exchanges we ex-
tract the following
The way to build up newspaper
and enable it to do something for the
town and section in which it is pub
lished is for all its readers TO take
some pride in it and furnish its edi-
tor with whatever news they may
happen to know Cali at his Office
and tell him OF it or drop him pos
tai or, if the item or items require it,
a letter. Also speak as well, when
ever occasion presents itself, of the
paper as you can conscientiousty do.
Don t-as SOME few do-speak dis
paragingly of it on all occasions, Of
ten times without regard to facts or
the conscience. Above all subscribe
to your own town or county paper
and keep your subscription paid up,
and if you have business that re-
qulres notoriety, advertise it in the
newspaper. If you are profession
al man keep your card in the paper
all the year. BY advertising in your
town paper you get great many
more benefits (Which are great than
directly come in increased business
you assist the publishers of the pa
per to give better one, and enable
them to do more towards developing
the resources of the town.

MONEY IN LIVE STOCK. Where
the farmer has the facilities for keep
ing and pasturing stock he is false to
his interest to neglect raising it
There is money in stock OF almost
every kind. Nearly every fermer
could easily raise more stock than he
does, and it would cost very little adj
ditional for him to do so. The farm
or can raise all stock at very small
cost. Oats, peas, rye, grass and corn
raised upon the farm, enable the
owner to grow stock very cheaply.
Raise grass and forage for stock to
eat, sell the stock or the products of
the stock, cut down the troublesome
cotton product to one half or one
fourth area and you will make more
money than you have ever done on
full crops Of cotton. Those who have
tried raising stock in Cobb county,
although on a small scale, have in
variably made money. Try it and be
convinced.

Of an intelligent lady in New York

to make the cure more certain, she
said 1t was necessary to perform the
terrible experiment without the

TRUE.

The Atlanta Constitution in max
ing note of the progress of two Geor-
gla newspapers, says: "The example
OF these counties in amply sustaining
one good paper in each, instead Of
trlttering away their means on half n
dozen patent outsides, is one to be
commended
In other words, one good newspa-
per is worth to county half dozen
or a dozen poorly gotten up concerns
that are a positive disgrace TO the
community in which they are publish
ed. There are several Georgia towns
in which two or more papers in each
struggle along, barely making enough
to keep the grim monster want from
the doors of those who run them.
Wherever they are circulated, which
is limited, they are dead give
away" 10 the towns they should adj
vertise. Capitalists, and those in
search of homes, are not apt to be at
tracted by them, as communities are
pretty much judged by their newspa-
pers.
On the other hand, where all the
patronage of a town and county is
concentrated on one newspaper the
proprietors are better able to send
out creditable sheet-one that
wears on its face an air of prosperity.
1t will be largely beneficial to the
town and county in attracting emf
grafton, and wherever it makes its
regular visits it will be welcome
guest. Cdrtrs0iHe C0wanl

CURED THE WRONG MAN.

The Argonaut tells the following
An army surgeon was one night an
noyed by the coughing OF the sentry
outside his tent Unable to sleep,
he decided that something must be
done for the man, and so compound
ed him strong and very disagreed
bic dose Of medicine. Then, going
out, he ordered the man to take it.
The sentry refused, at first politely,
and aiterward angrily and emphati-
cally; but the surgeon sternly insist
ed upon his rights, and the man was
finally induced to swallow the com
pound. The result was evidently
satisfactory. The sound Of coughing
ceased in the camp, and the surgeon
went to sleep in the consciousness of
having done a good deed. The next
morning he was summoned by the Of
ficer in command, who said to him /:
GLOW is this, sir? hear serious
complaints about you in relation to
the sontries. One Of them has re-
ported that, in the middle Of the
night, you came out of your tent and
abused him in the most dreadful
manner. lie says you made him
swallow drink which must have
been poison The guard had been
relieved while the surgeon was com
pounding his mixture, and he had
cured the wrong man.
