and while the people were present
at this tree Holloway appeared and
fired five shots into the body OF

up to TO night he had not been cap

sages in all directions to prevent his
escape from the county if possible.

When Rev. \. {. Thomas was pre-
siding elder Of the Dahlonega district,
on one occasion he preached from the
text "Godliness is profitable unto
all things and had much to say con
cerning cleanliness of house, head,
hands and heart. \ preacher who was
present said, Brother Thomas must
have found hair in his bread this
morning" do not know what rev.

whether nocturnal marauders had dis
turbed tired nature in her efforts to
WOO the needed presence of balmy
sleep, but l do know the sermon blazcd
with real gospel light and power, shat
abides unto this day.
The gospel is against all misplaced
dirt. There are houses where it is
poorly worth while to pray, until the
securing mop Id used. Poorly worth
while to read the bible until the old,
unhealthy dust and germs of disease
are swept from under the bed. Poor

until two or three coats of dirt are
washed off of the children faces and
clean raiment put on. If too poor to
afford more than one dress to child.

is plenty of water in this "land of the
free and home of the brave Better
wear patched clothing than cmbarrass
one S creditors, but let even the patch
es experience the orthodox necessity
OF immersion. There is no excuse for
filthiness.
Preachers, who have travelled for
years, have gone into log cabins, where
the floor was clean. and, if the furni-
turc was scanty, it was neat and clean.
They have found white houses where
grease and dirt contended like Corbctt
and Fitzsimmons, for the predomi-
nance. Why either Of them should
want to predominant is mystery to

Perhaps it will be well to say no re-
cent occurrence prompts the writing
of these lines, but an item from a let
ter of John Wesley to the Irish Meth
odists, in which he says: "If you do
not keep cleaner homes will never
visit you again" Why not visit them
anyhow? Some one has said: ''John

In my travels through the west and
northwest found the crops not near
SO good as they were year ago. The
constant rains have flooded the coun-
try; tens Of thousands Of acres of
wheat have not been harvested, and a
great deal Of that which was harvested
has been badly damaged. The corn
looks small and sickly, and the weeds
ale as high as the corn in many fields.
l think the next estimate Of the wheat
crop will place it at not over 600, 0,000,-
600. But that is enough to do us and
leave large surplus. Very likely the
price will not range beyond 65 and 20
cents, and don't think it will get
lower than that.

The Sunday Question.

The Independent has given its read
ers symposium on "The Sunday
Question" The contributors are rep
resentative men in church and State,
both Protestant and Catholic. 1t is
the custom of that excellent paper to
give consensus of opinion on current
questions, and the writer's are usually
men and women whose ability to sneak
is recognized. No subject has been
discussed that We deem of greater s;y-
nificancc and importance than this.
1t is an honest, intelligent presenta-
tion of the value Of the American Sab
bath as day of rest and worship.
We are glad to append the letter Of
Cardinal. Gibbons on the subject
'The desecration Of the Christian
Sunday is social danger against
which it behoovcs us to set our face.
and take timely precautions before
it assumes proportions too formida-
BILE to be easily cradicated. 4 close
observer cannot fail to note the dan
gerous inroads that have been made
on the Lords day in our country
within the last quarter of cen
tury. If these cncroachments arc not
checked in time the day may come
when the religious quiet, now hap
ply reigning in our well-oldercd
cities, will be changed into noise and
turbulence, when the sound of the
church bell will be drowned by the
echo of the hammer and the dray,
when the Bible and the prayer-book
will be supplanted by the newspaper
and the magazine, when the votaries
of the theatre and the drinking sa-
loon will outnumber the religious
worshipers, and salutary thoughts
Of God, of eternity and of the soul
will be choked by the cares of busi-
ness and by the pleasures and dissi-
pations of the world. The Christian
sunday is not to De confounded with
the Jewish Sabbath. 1t prescribes
the golden mean between rigid Sabba-
tarianism on the one hand and lax
indulgence on the other. The Lord 8
day to the Catholic heart is always a
day of Joy. The church desires us on
that day to be cheerful without dissi-
patton; grave and religious without
sadness and melancholy. She forbids,
indeed, all unnecessary servile work
on that day; but as the Sabbath was
made for man, not man for the Sab
bath, she allows such work whenever
charity or necessity may demand it.
And as it is day consecrated not
only to religion, but also to rclaxa-
tion Of mind and badly, she permits
US to spend portion of it in innocent
recreation. In a word, the true con-
ception Of the Lords day is expressed
in the words of the Psalmist: This
is the day which the Lord hath made;
let US be glad and rejoice therein. -

No Southern ssMananao"


Manufacturers Record Of an under
taking for the advancement Of che
South, well-known gentleman Of the
South largely interested as capital,
ist and as railroad man in the ener-
gies Of his section, replied that there
was no use taking any steps at present,
but that it should be delayed until the
war was over. The state of mind dis
played in that answer is one of the
most discouraging elements in South
ern development. If the Manufac-
turers' Record and all other influences
for Southern progress had acted upon
the principle Of more convenient sea-
son, the wonderful strides made of
manufactures and commerce during
the last fifteen years would still be
matters Of the future. Back in the
seventies the South was told that it
could not manufacture cotton in COM
petition with other sections of the
country, which was an old story then
the idea of the South as an iron and
steel manufacturer was derided in
some quarters, and the fact is that
nearly every accomplishment of the
past decade had its Jeremiahs at its
inception. In the panic of 1893 the
cry Of the halters was again heard, to
be reiterated in the early days of the
campaign Of 1896.
The Manufacturers Record is no
Cassandra. 1t is conducted upon the
principle that no time is better than
the present FOR directing attention to
the natural wealth Of the South and
encouraging Che movements whereby
the capital may be applied to it for the
upbuilding Of the manufacturing, rail
road and commercial interests of that
section. 1t believes that when the
outlook Is most gloomy then is the
time for hopeful utterances, based
upon the known qualities Of the South
and upon the conviction that all things
come to him who strives. Acting
upon this principle at the outbreak Of
the war against Spain, the Manufac-
turers' Record urged upon it's constitu-
ency the maintenance Of undertakings
then in progress and the reaching out
into new lines. It endeavored to
show that there was no vital reason in
the war for hesitancy about invest
ments, and that the best time for pre-
pairing to reap the benefits of return
Of peace was during hostiiities. In
some quarters, particularly in the cot
ton-mill industry, there has been re-
markable disregard of the threats
which timid minds discovered in the
war, but elsewhere the apprehensions
have had decided effect upon the
purses and the minds of men who are
usually in the forefront of develop
ment. 1t is not too late to urge upon
these the advantages of freeing them.
selves from unnecessary restraint.
The plight in which Spain now finds
itself is largely due to its policy Of
"manana." Tomorrow will do" is
a fit motto fora declining power, and
it is the explanation Of its decline.
For the South, pulsing with energy
snd laden with riches yet TO be devel-
oped, there should be no "manana.
Now is its accepted time.--Manufac-
turers' Record.
