THE POOR MANS CAPITAL.

There is a good deal said condem-
natory of mortgages. which after all
is only another name for security,
when man wants credit. But can
this country be run strictly on cash
basis? While it is best for every
man to pay as he goes, yet if he
hasn't got the money, he finds credit
a very timely help in distress. Cred
1T is the poor mans capital, and has
saved many a man from ruin. 1t
has put prop under many sinking
enterprises and buoyed them up un,
til better times and speedier collec-
tons came to the rescue and tided
them over the financial breakers.
1t is very foolish for any man to
buy anything he don't need or to
borrow money when he can get
along without it, but if man has
chance to make money by borrow
ing money, it is wise to do so, and
to give security in shape of mort
gage it is no hardship if he has the
property upon which he can place
the mortgage. 1t saves asking
friends to go personal security,
and in either case an honest man
will consider his property as much
bound for his debts in one instance
as the other The bulk of business
is done on credit. 1t always has
been so and will continue to do so.
Individual promises to pay, are as
numerous as Uncle Sans certif-
cates.of promises to pay. The people,
IN this way, float as much cur
rency as the national government.
In its last analysis credit is great
auxiliary in doing the business of
the country. That it can be abolish
ed absolutely, we do not. believe /;
but that it can be curtailed, to a
large extent, we verify believe. To
accomplish it will require a self
sustaining agricultural population
who make more than their necessi.
ties require and who can lay by a
surplus for emergencies, aud there
by have cash at command at all
times.

A short time ago young man,
James Prince, was married to a
young lady, Miss Redding, whose
father resides few miles north of
Granville. Just before the marri-
age it was rumored that Prince had
a living wife, whom he had deserted,
and charges were preferred against
him in the church of which he had
become a member ''by letter." A
committee was appointed to inves-
tlgate the ruror on the demand OF
Prince. In the meanwhile the mar
riage was contaminated and every
thing moved along smoothly till a
few days since, when this committee
received letter from the father in
law of Prince, revealing the fact
that Prince did have living wife
and two or three children. The
father of Mrs. Prince No. 2 swore
out a warrant against Prince, but
before the arresting officer could
get sight OF the muchly married
Prince, he had left for parts un-
known. Miss Redding, or Mrs.
Prince No. 2, is a splendid young
lady, and her parents are highly re-
spected people, and the affair Gre
ates a sensation in that neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Prince No. l lives in
Meriwether county, and not great
distance from Mrs. Prince No. 2.

WHILE Gov. Foraker is very much
given to charging that democrats of
the south whip and murder repub-
licans, he is significantly silent with
regard to the Ohio organization
known as the White Caps-an or
ganization formed professedly for
the purpose of protecting society
against immortality, and one which
has committed quite a number of
unlawful acts in the attempts to
prosecute its >illegal work. There
should be, and doubtless is, plenty
of law to protect society in Ohio
without a resort to their methods,
and the taking of the law into their
own hands is not a proper thing for
Ohioans to do. However, the whole
people of that state areSsnot to be
condemned for the unjustifable
acts of a few.

In California turkeys are raised
in focks numbering several thous-
and. They are placed in charge of
a herder, who drives them as he
would flock of sheep. They
range over miles of territory in a
day, and live almost entirely by
foraging. When the grain is cut
and harvested the turkeys are turn
ed into the immense wheat end bar
ley fields, and the birds do the
cleaning, and become fat and ready
for market at very little cost.
