personal opinion of the two men.
A few days ago 10000 grape baskets
were delivered at one time from off the
cars at Concord, Pike county. to which
place they were shipped by an Ohio bas-
ket factory. This great quantity OF bas-
kets had been ordered by few fruit men
near that little town, and many more
may be needed to supply the demand for
them in that one county.

WY BLACKBURN FAILED.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Columbus Enqurer-Sun furnishes very
interesting bit Of gossip concerning a
prominent and deserving Georgian.
The gentleman in question is no less
parsonage than the Hon. B. NJ. Black
burn. and, according to this correspond
ent. the secret of Editor B'ackburn's
failure to secure good government po-
sition has just leaked out.
It is alleged thai Mr.. Blackburn talked
TOO freely. He not only, so the story
runs. vitriolized Poke Smith as an origi
nal Hill parasite, but he plucked the tail
feathers out OF senator Gordon and de-
nounced him as a Cleveland follower
from compulsion, and lukewarm devo-
tee so long as Growers opportunity hung
in the balance. The correspondents in
formant declined to give further details,
but he is a Georgian of high credit, and
his limited vocabulary on this subject
does not destroy the savoy perfume OF
the st Try. But for this tongue lashing
of two distinguished men, alleged, be it
understood, Mr.. Blackburn might to-day
have been leading torch light process
sion in Dresden rather than bracing the
editorial column of the Atlanta Herald.

Georgia still Lends.

From the Early County News
About two CT three weeks ago Mr.,
Munroe Wydner of Lime Branch, went
to Dry Greek fishing. Soon after his ar
rival he noticed quite furry among
some fish, and upon examination discoy-
cred that they were trying to escape
from large water moccasin. Laying
aside his fishing rod Mr.. Wydner gath
cred up a con enient stick and struck
the snake on the head, killing it. After
some hard work he succeeded in getting
the snake on land, when Ohe reptile Was
found to measure five feet three and a
half inches in length. Mr.. Wydner de-
cided to make POST morton examlna-
ton, which resulted in the liberation of
a turtle, q number Of frogs, several trout,
several jack fish, and almost countless
numbers of stumpknockers and pike
from their embryo tomb.

1t is shame to any mother who fails
to train her daughters to take serious
view of fe instead of frivolous, selfish
view; to remember that their highest
duty, whether they be married or sin
Gle, is to be homemakers. A great wri-
5er ON this subject has said: whenever
the true wife comes, this home is always
around her. The stars may be over her
head; the glowworm in the cold grass
at night may be the only fire at her feet.
But home is yet wherever she is, and for
noble woman it stretches far around

Sanford Weekly Ledger

Protection to American industries will
be the watchword Of the Ledger.
Believing A. we do in the principles of
protective tariff we realize the fact that we
can no longer consistently conduct an in
dependent newspaper in Sanford, which
town might better be called Protectionville,
for all Of its remarkable growth since the
election Of the Harrison administration, is,
a. writer in the Boston Journal puts it,
conceded on all hands to be due to the
protective tariff. We have had ample
opportunity to witness the practical bene
nts of projection to American industries as
demonstrated here and are firmly convinced
that under free trade policy Sanfords in
dustries would be crippled and its business
interests paralyzed. The Sanford mills
were established in 1867 BY Thomas Good
all, who employed 40 hands. Today when
il has been found necessary for the first
time IN their history to suspend operations,
over 700 hands are thrown out of employ
ment. The Goodall Worsted Co. which is
ep Grating only in the yarn departments,
having 100 looms idle, employs, when run
ming all departments from 800 to 400 hands.
But the most remarkable feature In the
development of Sanford is seen by 3 glance
at the census. In 1851 tnere was PoPuiA-
ton Of 500. this had increased in 1890 to
1900, then came the enactment of the Nc
Kinley bill and the town which had gained
1000 inhabitants in 10 years gained 147 in
two. The manufacturing facilities were
greatly increased and a boom struck the
town. Over $50 houses were erected in
one year and land increased three times in
value. Electric lights were introduced and
an electric railroad, connecting Sanford
with springvale was built. while many
other business enterprises were rendered
successful and farmers for fifteen miles
around found an enlarged muket for their
produce. Sanford vas bright with life and
sctivity that is seen in those places where
the future holds the promise Of still better
times for those already prosperous. After
the election Of 1892, however. the mill
ow ners realized that condition and not
a theory" confronted them and they began
to feel their way. The increase of 14l in
population Ia two years was cut down to an
increase of 81 in the six months following
election. These facts il seems are all
SUN, lent to convince any intelligent citizen
that Sanfori's industries to be successful
must be protected and IL this is true OF
Sanford /, is true Of the entire country.
