A RACE FOR A BRIDE,

Miss ANNIE STORY, Of Yorktown,
Paulding county, Ca, daughter of
Col. II. +. Story, had two suitors for
her hand and heart, Dave Govan, a
poor, but good looking, young man,
and A. J. McBrayer, the son of
wealthy parents. Miss Annie loved
Govan, but her parents wanted her
to marry McBrayer. She didn't
know what to do, but finally told
them that the minister was to be
called in and then each young man
was to leave certain place at the
same time for Dallas and the one
who got the license and arrived at
her fathers house first, she would
marry. The old folks and the guests
thought she was going to marry Nc
Brayer. The race was begun, and
McBrayer got to Dallas and got his
license first. Govan came in behind
and after much explanation got the
Ordinary to issue the second license.
Then the race began in earnest.
Govan went another route, got there
first and was married to the girl by
the time McBrayer hove in sight.
The latter when he saw Govan's
white horse standing at the gate,
wheeled his own horse aud went
home heart sick, The girl was over
joyed that she got her choice. Ais

WHAT Is TIE GOOD?

A plantation ct New Berer, n
c., netted to its owners s35, 0C0 cash
in 1891. good part of the sum com.
ing from cabbage. The plantation
consists Of 1000 acres and is run as
truck farm" being planted in
early vegetables for the northern
market. What is the good of trying
to get an Office when men can make
money like that at farming.-Hustler
of Rome.
Ask Hoke Smith, who, it is said,
gave up law practice of $4,000 a
year to accept cabinet Office nnder
Cleveland that pays only salary of
$4,000. There seems to be big
amount of patriotism in this country.
1t is said cit il sweet to die for ones
country" but it seems to be sweeter
to live and hold office for ones
country. Some men had rather hold
an Office than to hold on to husi-
ness that pays them three times the
amount in actual cash. Ambition
is a strong passion, and influences
men to resort to all kinds Of meth>
DDS, some Of which are very ques-
tionable, TO be elevated to distinction
and have an empty title that perish
es with the using. There are small
er men striving tor smaller offices of
smaller salaries, displaying powers
and energies, worthy of better
cause, which, if they do not get,
they think they will starve, but they
could make more money in some
other calling and be more independ-
ent and contented, with no political
boss to Lord it over them by red
tape rules and insolent domineering.
The craze for Office is widespread
and a reflection upon the common
sense and character of the people.
Crook not the pregnant hinges OF
the knee that thrift may follow
fawning." Throw away the lust for
office, and show by business capaci>
ty, tact, industry and frugality that
you are capable CT succeeding with
out the aid of Office, which if one
holds oftimes leaves him in worse
state than it found him.

MISSIONARY Gilbert c. Reid, who
has preached in China for the Pres.
byterian church for years, says the
feature of the Geary law requiring
Chinese resident in this country to
provide themselves with certificates
of registration is no more exacting
than the Chinese law requiring
foreigners resident in that country
to provide themselves With pass,
ports, which are, as matter of fact,
certificates of Identification. The
passport that must be held by every
American in China describes clearly
the general appearance Of the hold
er, the color of his eyes and hair,
the color and shape of his beard, the
shape of his profile and any peculiar
marks of identity, Photographs,
however, are not required.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

A few days ago 10000 grape bas-
kets were delivered at one time from
off the cars at Concord, Pike coun,
ty, to which place they had been
shipped by an Ohio basket factory.
This great quantity of baskets had
been ordered by a few fruit men
near that little town, and MANY
more may be needed to supply the
demand for them in that che county.
Why could not we Southern peo>
pie put up factories and supply this
growing demand for baskets, crates.

gums that grow in our swamps in

split.
Our people are waking up to the
fact that the fruit business is prof.
liable one and let them also wake
up to the fact that to manufacture
our own baskets, crates, ETC., would
also be good and profitable bust
ness. Let us move forward. Con

GENEROUS SOIL.

Mr.. I. f. Jeffries writes to the
JOURNAL from Dykes Creek, Floyd
county, Ca, as follows;
Necessity is doing its good work
here, as it is all over the state.
Much more attention is being given
to the home supply department.
Waving fields of wheat and oats are
being harvested here. Some OF it
is excellent. There is much more
attention given to hogs and stock of
all kinds than has BEEN. The q ass
es are being raised and appreciated.
Horses and mules are being raised
here. The eyes of the people have
been forced open by the situation of
utter dependence and continued
hard times, in which the all corn
and cotton mode of farming kept
them. Fruit culture is also rapidly
extending. Let me say, from the
experience of others, however, that
the LIE Conte pear is not in its best
latitude in North Georgia. let no
poor man risk his money, his labor
and his hopes upon large orchard
OF this fruit. Col. c. l. Graves,
near Rome, is making success with
the Bartlett pear He has a thous>
and trees of it. Mr.. Jacob Nigh
sold seven hundred dollars worth of
Strawberries of of one acre, this
year. We have too fine a climate
and too generous a soil to live in
and be dependent upon other less
favored localities for our supplies.
We can live at home il we will.

A few years ago the stockholders
of the Tombigee Cotton Mills of
Columbus, Mics, held their annual
meeting with net profit OF s25, 900,
which amount is over 18 per cent of

decided, instead of paying the diyi-
dend, to invest the profits in putting
IL additional machinery to increase

The virilant viotorious.

The long-awaited and exciting race off
Sandy Hook yesterday, between the Brit
ish sloop yacht Valkyrie and the Amer
lean sloop yacht Vigilant, in which the
latter handsomely surpassed her rival,
was another decisive victory for the
American center board" or sliding keel,
a distinguishing feature of the sloop
yacht architecture of this country.
While much perhaps, has been due to
improved models and to superior sailing
qualities, and not a little to necessary
skill and management under canvas, still
it remains that in all the contests to
regain the Americas cup, of which yes
terday's was the eighth, the Brit
ish effort has been, primarily, to supplant
by some other device, the popularity
of the American yacht, first given inter
national prominence by the America in
1851, and which yet withstands every at
tempt Of foreign means and ingenuity to
improve upon. In the succeeding trials of
the Americas cup series it is likely that
the American centerboard will still
further impress its remarkable virtues
upon the courteous Dunraven,
who, whatever may be the final result,
appears to have won great multitude of
warm personal admirers among Ameri-
cans

Unconditional Repeal.

II there is q senator who says the Sher-
man silver law ought not 70 be repealed,
the fact has not been made public. AL
the senator's say IL ought 70 be repealed.
And why do they say so1 For the reason
that experience has shown that it is
bad law. and has a damaging effect upon
all interests. A great majority Of the
people and a majority Of the members Of
congress believe it was the cause Of the
recent panic, and that it viii cause an
other panic If it is permitted to remain
in force. Some Of the senators say they
do not believe it caused the panic. Still
they admit it is a very bad law.
The House, by a large majority,
voted to repeal It, It's action was hailed
with delight throughout the country.
The panic that then prevailed practically
abated and business revived. The Sen
ate has debated the repeal bill for weeks
and has not yet reached a vote A major
ity of the reuators will vote for repeal,
but a minority would not permit vote to
be taken.
The minority say they think the Sher-
man silver law ought to be repealed, but
that they will not permit it to be until
the majority make such concessions to
silver as they want. In other words,
they say to.the majority and the coun-
try: This Sherman silver law is bad
one and is running all kinds of business,
but we viii not permit it to be repealed
because it affords US the means of max
ing the majority give US such silver leg
islation as we want. If the majority do
not come to our terms we will let the law
stand, even if it overwhelms the whole
country in financial ruin.
Do these minority senator's talk or act
like statesmen They virtually admit
that silver has no merit of its own, but
that they will force it upon the people
even though they do not want it, because
they have the power to do so.
The repeal senators say, Let US get rid
of the law which we all
admit is bad, and which is doing so
much harm, and afterwards we will do
for silver all that can be safely done.
With the law repealed we will stand on
an equality. Now you have an advan-
tage. You are like lot of train robbers
with dynamite. You say the law you de-
clare to be bad shall stand unless your
demands are complied with. Surely that
is not the proper position for senators
who claim to be statesmen to take.
The position of the obstructihnists in
the Senate is indefensible from any point
of view. The feeling against them is al
already very strong Unless they aban-
don their position and let the will of the
majority prevail they will hear angry
protests from all parts of the country be-
fore many days.
