1T requires the most patient work
and the hardest stone to bring out the
lustre and beauty of the diamond.
And likewise it requires ~unceasing ap-
plication and the most stubborn OBJ

brilliant forces of human mind. Genius
alone has never enriched and glori6ed
the records of the human race. Intel
lectual prodigies are like comets kin.

departure. They expatiated in the
elysium of their own imagination,
Toasted on the smbrosia of their own
fanoies and left as their legacies un.
subtantial dreams and airy specula-
tions. Or like Edgar Allen Poe, CROPPED
through the depths, communed with
the spirits of gloom and lived In q pit
of suffering and death instead Of the
glad sunshine and bounding life of a
world that he knew not Of but could
have known in its fullest e~cstacies.

heaven ~favors, who keep the world
constantly moving in an orbit Of grand

They live sublime live, land departing
leave behind them footprints In the

their fame lives not in brazen images
and messy marbles but in the shrines
of human reverence and affection.

IF the letter and spirit of the road
law has been fully complied with in
the work done this season, then those
who have travelled our country thor
o%ughfares know precisely what an in
adequate law that road law is. We are
casting no reflections on the supervi-
sors, overseers and hands, but it is that
abominable road law that we are strik-
ing at. No man will work or ought to
work without just compensation. No
able bodied man or property holder
should be excused or shielded from
contributing his part to the building of
good, first class roads, but this contri-
button should come in a shape that it
will fully serve the purpose for which
it is demanded. The present tax sys-
tenn is but little better than no system
at all. 1t is actually a throwing away
of money and valuable time and labor,
and the wearing out of horse flesh and
vehicles amounts to more than the net
earnings of the farmers.

INDUSTRIES SONG.


Now the forge flames, leaping high,
write upon the midnight sky
In staff of stars, wide and long,
New born Ls5or's natal song.
Now the humming Of the WHEEL;
Now the ringing Of the steel;
Now the busy spindle's whirr
Giving life and hope and cheer;
Now the kissing Of the steam;
Now the piercing whistles scream
Now the roar Of furnace blast,
Bringing back "Old Times" at last;
Now the belching Of the smoke;
Now the hammers steady stroke;
Now the engines thund'rous roll; \
Now the clink of diamond coal;
Now the bells deep toned chime,
Pouring out their trembling rhymes
Now the anvils' tuneful ring
Meath the strong arms constant
swing;
Now the sound of footsteps fleet
Where the tides of traffic meet;
Now the din of shop and mill
Echo'd back from hill to hill;
And the music Of the loom
Swell the concert of the boom.
Morning twilight's silver haze
Struggling through the dusky maze;
And hungry man, wife and child
Hear the song with raptures wild,
AS the rosy finger'd hands
OF the Lights angelic bands
Light the banners of the day
Der the SUMS triumphal way.

WEST PALM BEACH, Oct. 10, 1895.
On the evening Of October 9 your
correspondent boarded the west bound
vestibule for this place where he ex.
poets to spend the winter. Nothing
out of the ordinary occurred on the
way down to Atlanta, where we con
cluded to lay over a few hours and
take in. at least, a portion Of the Ex.
position, the limited time allowed pre-.
venting an extensive view of it. All
the buildings are not yet finished or
the exhibits placed but there are more
than enough to entertain and instruct
every n who may wish to attend it.
There Is to be found on exhibition the
hest Of the animal, Vegetable and min
ersl kingdom. Each has contributed
bountifully for the occasion. Atlanta,

tract and they certainly now have a
most creditable show which does honor
to the great Southern city, and will
prove beneficial to the whole South.
The enterprise and success OF the un-
dertaking is sufficient to make every
man and woman born and reared in
the South feel proud of their section of

THE MAN

A man may be v%irtuous, truthful and
honest-these are all noble qualities
and necessary in the makeup of a good
citizen-but if he stops here, he will be
a failure. A mar must also be indus
trious, ambitious to succeed and excel,
aver increasing in useful knowledge,
catching the golden moments as they
fly, and turning what he has and what
he can gain to the best account.
The successful man is never selfish.
He is concerned about the welfare of
his neighbors as well as his own, SYM
pathizing with them in their adversely
aud rejoicing with them in their pros
perity. He keenly realizes that he is
an integral part of the community and
the more of the good things of life that
it strives for and obtains, the greater
his gain of those things that cheer the
heart and comfort the soul; the more
it advances in morals, manners and in
~telligence, the fuller ia the measure of
his own prosperity and the warmer the
sunshine that comes into his own heart.
The ownership of regal palaces, rail
roads, cities and landed estates in them

flowing with glittering coin, govern
ment bonds and gilt edge" securities,
do not denote the successful man. Most
often the canker formed from the tears
and sweat of unpaid toll eats up this
kind of wealth as acids eat up iron.
This kind of wealth has the evanescant
quality of the vapor wreath. 1t is as
dazzling to the weak eyes of the weak
minded as the pictures painted by the
sun in the Alpine 10Y are to the eve
of the traveller, and as insubstantial as
the stuff that dreams are made of. Save
in the rarest instances this kind of
wealth denotes the miser-that scorn
of men and c%aricature of God-whose
melancholy and repulsive presence in
fects every community. THE t~antology
is u own for the purpose of emphasize
ing a truth, and injecting its energizing
principle into the torpid consciousness
of the world.)
The successful man is an irrepressible
optimist of the keenest and longest
ranged ken, of the broadcast philan.

THE winter is nearly here, the time
for making substantial road beds is
about over, and the condition of the
public thoroughfares is as usual, which
is about as bad as we'll could be. Picks
and shovels are the only implements
used, and the work accomplished with
these is so trihing and unsubstantial
that the labor of road force is virtually
thrown away. If the roads were graded
and ballasted with rock in five years
the repair would not amount to one
tenth OF the labor and cost now ex-
pended. The travel in winter would be
attended with nc more risks and hard
ships than travel in INNER And then
we would have the satisfaction of
knowing that we had taken one neces.
sary step toward comfort, prosperity
ard civilization.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom Our Special Correspondents
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 10, '95.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IS, 90.
AS soon as Mr.. Cleveland returned to
Washington the force of detectives
which form a Gordon around the White
House day and night went on duty
again, and it Is presumed that the
sentry boxes, which were removed
when Mr.. Cleveland left last May, will
soon disfigure the pretty grounds

the exciting times of great war with

not possibly be taken to ensure his

Mr.. Cleveland and all the members Of

1t is a real pleasure to be able to

commendation. The report of Mr..
Thomas after reciting the successes OF

way, was, like so many other good
