Development of the South.

CHATTANOOGA, March 26.1Thes
Trademarks reports of new industries Z
actually organized and erected in the
South since January l, 1883, indicate no.
abatement in its industrial growth. The
reports show great activity in cotton and
woolen factories. Within the past
month thirty new companies have been
formed, and in most cases all the neces.
sary stock has been subscribed. There
is also much activity in mining opera
tions, the total number of mining and
quarrying companies formed in! wood
working branches, however, the develop.
ment has been greatest. the whole mum; !
ber of new plants in three months being
eighty-six. Reports also show that
Southern timber lands are in demand,
chiefly by lumbermen from the Nortb:
west. Over 100000 acres have been sqld
since January'1. Northwestern manu-
facturers are erecting mills in various
Southern States. q z:
baltimore, March 26.-The Mdnu-
facturers' Record will publish this week
its quarterly report of the south's indus;
trial progress, giving name, location and
character of business of every manufac:
turing enterprise organized IN that
section since January 1. The report
shows that while there were somewhat
fewer large manufacturing and mining
companies organized during the last
three months than for the same time Of
1887, there was large increase in the
number and diversity ofsmall industries.
The Record reports that all over the
South small industries are spriDging up
to supplement the great iron works,
which are now under construction. Dnrs
ing the second half of the year about
fifteen or twenty of the immense iron
furnsces, which were commenced in thes
early part of 1887, will go into blast.
The number of new enterprises reported
during the first quarter Of 1885, COM
pared with the same time in 1887, vas
1,O75 for the former and 923 for the latter.
The amount of capital and capital stock $

How it Feels to Freeze. ) !.

Early in January, 1854, ] left Reed &
Wing in company with S.. ]. Willard
John Day, and Albert Olson for a place s.
fourteen miles distant; near where VasaF
Church now stands, for hauling logs
preparatory for our settlement at that
point the following spring. It was 9 &
beautiful day, with the thermometer 90
degs. above zero. We had aspanofgood &
horses, a sleigh partly loaded with ;lum;
ber, forage and provisions for few days.
We arrived at the lust before dark,
and camped in arayine well sheltered
with timber. After making ourselves
comfortable with good supper, and q
blazing log fire all four laid down 6
to sleep on bed made on the SNOW, with
athin layer of hay on top of some boards,
and were we'll wrapped up in blankets: s
During the night the temperature chang X
ed to terrible cold, the thermometer
falling to As degrees below zero, as wes
learned afterward. Had we known this
and kept our fire burning, there would,
of course, have been no danger. Bntg
being very comfortable We all fell asleep
early in the night, and we're unconscious
of the danger We were in until awakened
by the pain ofintense cold, and then We
were already so overcome with the cold
that we lacked power or energy to get up
or even to move.
Comparing notes afterwards we found
that all had experienced like sensation,
namely-frst, an acute pain, like the
point ofa needle in every pore, but free
from all mental anxiety, except dull.
conception of something wrong and s.
desire to to get up, but without sufficient I
energy to do so. This feeling, however,;
did not last long, and subsidized gradually
into one of quiet rest and satisfaction Z
until consciousness ceased altogether, and
without any struggle or pain, either bod
lily or mental. We had all reached that
stage when, by an accident, the arm and
bare hand Of Mr.. Day, who lay on the.
outside, fell in the snow. This started
the circulation in his body, and gave him
such intense pain that he equickly aroused
himself and got on his feet, and ofcourse
we were all saved. It took a long time:
before we could use our limbs sufficiently
to rebuild the fire, and during that time
we suffered much more pain than wes
had before I am satisfied from that
experience that a person perishing in that
way has very easy death, because he
sinks gradually into stupor, which
blunts his sensibility both to phyaicst
pain and mental agony long before life.

1t Was the Clear Stuff.

A farmer living out on the Gratiot
road bought gallon of whiskey as he was
trading the other day, and while he was
absent from his wagon some one substi-
tuted jug filled with water. Back he
came next day, walked into the grocery
with the jug, and setting it down with
bang, he exclaimed:
"Here's that whisky, and it's frozen as
solid as rock"
"No."
"Try it and see."
The groceryman took a stick and
jabbcd away until satisfied that such was
the case and then said:
"Well it's queer, and I'll make it all
right. That must have come from the
barrel that I sell for medicinal purposes

Keep the boys on the farm if you will,
but do not deprive them of a practical
education. There must be citizens as
we'll as farmers. Should they develop
talents that will fit them to some other
work, do not bind them to the farm. AS
q rule, every one will succeed best atse
work in which he is most interessea.::
Some of our ablest men have been raised
on the farm. There was other work for
them to do and the world speaks their
names with reverence.
The majority oflmen who are now
noted in war, politics, science, and lit
erature, were raised on the farm. So
will it ever be. Not from the crowded
city, but from the free homes of honest
toll will the great men Of the future
come. The daily work on the farm cul.
5tivates habits of industry and perseyer-
sance that adds much to the strength of q
man in any vocation. Because a boy
does faithful work is no reason why he
should be deprived from developing the
talents God has given him.
We plead for the farmer boys. They
endure many hardahips and suffer many
,privations. The first lesson they learn is
to work. Summers heat and winters
cold may bring changes in the daily
chores, but with the change there comes
no rest. Though tired, yet the work
must be done. When the world grows
wider, they have aspirations and desires
for something nobler and better. What
they want is the privilege Of making the
best of themselves. The farm is not
their world. They see wonders beyond
the horizon. They become dissatisfied
and restless.
What they want is a practical educa..'
ton. Give them q knowledge of science,
mathematics aud language, and they will
have for their companions the great and
good of all ages. The human intellect
was created to receive knowledge, Each
new truth developed or understood makes
the world wider. he may work on the
farm, but his mind is not confined to the
price of corn or to the yield Of potatoes.
He sees new beauty in everything, and
labor becomes pleasure.
But suppose boy should leave the
farm7 Is; it not better that he should
succeed at something else rather than
fail at farming? 1t matters not what
work a man expects to engage in, he
should receive practical education.
Knowledgeis is power. The better educa.
ton q man has the better he will succeed.

The General Purpose Farmer.

Line general purpose Iarmer has To-
ceived no;attention from the writers of
the agricultural press, though he is Of
vastly more importance than the ''gen-
eral purpose" COW, horse, sheep, hen,
barn, strawberry or apple. The general
purpose farmer is one who can do many
difficult things and do them all we'll.
He can plan operations and execute them
himself or show others how. He is
good manager of q place. He knows
when and how to plant, cultivate and
harvest every XIII. Of q crop ordinarily
raised on farm. He is 8 good gardener
and knows how to raise most kinds of
fruit. Re can pruae, graft and bud trees
properly and raise trees, bushes and
shrubs, vines. from seeds and cuttings.
He understands the management of
manure and knows how to drain land.
He is sufficiently good mechanic to put
up fences, to make gates, hang a grind
stone and shingle shed. He can repair
harness, point q plough, paper sitting
room, shear a sheep, dress hog, cut up
steer, smoke bacon and make sausage.
He can sharpen tools and put handles
into hoes and axes.
The general purpose farmer" knows
how to raise, feed and fatten all kinds. of
animals kept for their meat He under
stands what kinds of food are best for
producing milk, wool, flesh and fat, he
cultivates the society Of animals and
learns their ways. He trains heifers to
say they will take pleasure in having
their milk drawn from them. He has
no special occasion for employing a
special trainer to "break in" his colts.
BE begins to subject them to the use Of
the saddle and bride when they are very
young, and they are ready for work on
the road or in the field by the time they
are three years old.
The general purpose" farmer must
necessarily, in this age Of the world, be q
good business man. He must understand
how to buy, sell and trade. he must be
correct Judge of values and must keep
himself informed as to prices. Unle,s he
he has the qualifications Of successful
merchant he will find it to his advantage
to employ some trusty and capable per-
son to do his trading for him. A farmer
who is poor judge of stock, or who is
not we'll informed in regard to prices,
will be likely to lose money if he under
takes to buy animals with view to feed
ing and then selling them. 1t will be
better for him to give his attention to the
raising of crops to sell in the market, or
feeding such animals as he can raise on
his place.
Buying young and poor stock of farm.
ers who have not the means of keeping
them is source of great profit to persons
who understand the business, but it is
likely to ruin those who are lacking in
judgment and information. Every farm
or who takes good commercial newspa-
per can keep himself informed as regards
to selling prices of fat stock of different
grades. II he understands stock-raising
and stock.feeding, he can make money in
fa.tenipg all the animals he can raise,
and it will be better for him, if he is not
successful buyer, to limit his exertions
to this branch of the business Rich.

In few minutes more by clever and

This much accomplished, Wilson went
below with his jauntiest air and told the
marines that the commanding officer had
ordered him to go with them into ccr-

THE STATE COMMITTEE.
How the Convention VIII Organize
The BaIlotIne.

The State committee met In room q at
o'clock, nearly every county being repre-
sented. Chairman Manley read quite an ex-
tended report Of the work OF the committee
for the past year, which made an excellent
showing. The question Of the manner Of
balloting for candidates In the convention
came up and caused considerable discussion.
One way proposed was for the delegates to
vote by counties and towns marching from
their seats and depositing their ballots be-
fore the committee; the other plan was TO
vote by counties, the delegates remaining
seated. 1t was finally decided TO submit the
question TO the candidates and their friends
the committee to abide by their decision. Ae-
cordingly Messrs. Marble, Cleaves and Bur
leigh held an impromptu. conference in the
ladies' parlor. The two former favored the
method Of bailoting by counties and towns,
while Mr.. Burleigh urged that the delegates
should remain In their seats while the votes
were collected, thus facilitating matters.
But It was urged that the other way would
give the delegates an opportunity OF voting
as they pleased, and it would also guard
against any voting by men In counties or
towns where they were not entitled TO. The
candidates and their friends, however, did
not not agree. and the question was returned to
convention. The following organization for
the convention was adopted

next Office was the State Land Agency,
which, In the days when the State owned a
large domain, was an Office Of more lmpor-
tance than at the present time. In 1861
IS Mr.. Burleigh, while still Land Agent, was
also Assistan. Clerk Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. In 1880 Mr. Burleigh obtained
clerkship In the Office Of the State Treasurer,
a position in which he familiarized himself
with the finances Of the State he held this
elerkship until 1885, when ne was elected
Treasurer Of the State by the Legislature.
In 1887 Mr.. Burleigh was reelected to this
office, and Is now Treasurer Of the State.
Mr. Burleigh personally is tall, erect and
fne-looking. His manners are genial, and
his hospitality unbounded. To these per-
sonal qualities is due undoubtedly much Of
his success as public officer. Mr.. Burleigh
is also fortunate in having large fortune,
much of which is said to be proftably In
vested in Maine lands. One Of his sons, who
graduated from Bowdoin College last sum-
mer, is becoming well known as the proprie-
tor Of the Kennebec Journal, the State pa
per, and another is yet in college.
