THE KNOCKER.

The knocker is a peculiar animal in
human form residing in nearly every
community His pent up energy ex-
udes in attempts to stifle progress and
lay it bare on the desert sands. To him
flowers are as icy pebbles and the sweet
aroma of the beautiful fields is but the
stencil in his nostrils. The sound of
the saw and the hammer to him are but
dirges Of disaster and his countenance
is full of forebodings of i'll. He sees
the bountiful harvest through smoked
glasses, and luscious fruits to him
breed malaria, and miasma holds the
hand of death constantly before him.
His very presence is oppressive and his
voice is like the bowling of wintry
winds. His advice will shatter hope,
bind up cheerfulness and destroy affec-
ton. He is but moving mass of vol
uptuous chaos. Be not deceived by his
growl.
And yet, he does some good. So dis
Castelul becomes his attitude that his
fellow-citizens sometimes, as if by
magic, taunt him by turning the wheel
of progress. They thus lay his pitiable
forebodings at rest. He is not always
SO conspicuous, but by divers means
seeks to accomplish his purpose. He
votes against all Improvements, knows
more than any other man in the COM
munity, and is adverse to educational
institutions, arguing that he gets along
without an education and others can do
the same. The only safe way to follow
him is to pull as hard for progress as
the knocker pulls against it. Above
all, be sure you are not in his shoes.

PAID FORMER
EMPLOYER SlOD
Story of a Prominent Geor-
gian Recalled by Return
to State of $1,000.

The receipt by the State Treasurer
the other day of $40 90 in currency from
some unknown source, an evident con-
tribution to the conscience fund, called
to the mind of a capitol official the
story of now prominent Georgian,
who, as youth, led rather wild and
reckless sort of career and spent most
of his time drinking and carousing.
The Georgian in question now stands
high in his community and the State.
He is at the head OF one of Georgia's
foremost industries, of which he has
made an eminent success, and as the
result of which he now draws a salary
of 500, 900 year. He is the mainstay
of the church in his community, and
contributes largely to the maintenance
of home and foreign missionaries.
More than that, he is missionary him
self, and never loses an opportunity to
point the right way to the young man
with whom he may be brought in con-
tact.
Before this change came about he
was for some months in the employ of
a merchant in one of Georgia's most
thriving towns. He did not, as the re-
suit of his method of living, give his
employer the service to be expected of
a steady, sober CLERK. It was while in
this merchants service that he resolved
to change his method of living.
This he did completely, and as soon
as he got on his feet again he met his
former employer on one occasion in the
Masonic lodge of which both were mem
bers, and in the presence of friends of
both handed him check for 500. The
merchant at first protested against it,
saying that he did not owe it, but his
erstwhile employee replied:
81 feel that defrauded you out of
that amount as the result of my bad
habits, and l shall be deeply disappoint-
ed if you do not accept it."
There was little further argument
and the debt was extinguished.

ELIZABETH SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Marietta's suburb, Elizabeth, is ac-
tive in all good work. Some earnest
Sunday school workers IN that COM
munity have made record for Eliza
beth Sunday school that is very credit
able. For six Sundays in succession
there has been lively contest among
rival workers, denominated Reds and
Blues, as to who could secure the
largest attendance each Sunday. Mrs.
D. D, Underwood is captain of the Blues
and Mrs. J. L. Gray captain of the Reds.
Therefore, last Sunday was red letter
day, there being an attendance of 200
scholars and teachers, there having
been an average attendance of $50 for
each Sunday for the previous weeks. In
this contest the Blues won.
Such generous rivalry in the upbuild-
ing Of the Sunday school in that very
pleasant and desirable neighbortood is
commendable.

CANNED GOODS FROM GEORGIA.

California has acquired a reputation
for her canned peaches, Maryland for
her canned oysters and Vermont for her
canned syrup. Georgia produces
peaches, oysters and syrup in their per-
fiction {; better than the similar pro-
ducts of the states named. Is Georgia
getting the full benefit for the superb.
GRITTY of her products in the canned
goods line? We have the statement of
Mr., Conway, of the great car manu-
featuring company here, that Georgia
has canned more peaches this year than
ever before in it's history, and that the
canning industry is now looking for
ward to oysters, Sin which we expect
to see Georgia lead the world"
While we are not in a position to
speak with authority of the matter, we
have heard several times that a very
considerable proportion OF the canned
products of Georgia are shipped out of
the state in plain cans, the peaches to
bear labels of California and Delaware,
the oysters to bear labels of Baltimore
and the Chesapeake, and the syrup to
bear labels of Vermont maple camps
and Louisiana sugar plantations. Con.
sumers of these Georgia products under
fictitious understanding the stories
we have heard to be true-are benefit.
ed, of course. They receive the very
best; better than the real" articles
that are proclaimed by the labels. But
an injustice is done. Consumers are
entitled to know precisely what they
are getting, and Georgia is entitled to
the benefit of having the world at large
know whence the products come -Sa-
vannah News.
The Marietta canned goods are ship
ped bearing the Marietta manufactur-
ers' labels, and their superiority sells
them.

AGITATORS.

Waycross wants no 'agitators" or
mischief-makers. We want harmony
and concert of action between all class
es of citizens. Let the "agitetors" take
a back seat or move their washing. The
first man caught knocking Waycross
and trying TO stir up strife among our
people, ought to be run out of town.
There are comparatively few, but there
should be none of that class in our
midst.-Waycross Herald.
That is good doctrine for any town.
"Agitators" and "strife breeders" can
retard business prosperity, destroy con-
fidence, create more enmity among
friends, and prove more detrimental TO
towns best interests than can most
anything else.

PEACH TREES co
BENEATH THE Ak,
Eight Thousand Trees Cut
Down by Floyd County
Farmers.

Two miles from Cave Springs 5000
peach trees lay felled to the ground
with their leaves whitening in the sun
last week. They were cut down by their
owner, Mr.. William Hight, who has de-
termined to put the fine land they &C.
cupied to some more profitable use.
So far as has been reported, Mr.. Hight
is the first Floyd county grower to take
this step. The trees were eight years
old, and had been bearing for five years,
but had yielded profit but once in
that time. This much resembles the
drastic measures taken by the Farmers
Union in that section when they planted
their land in cotton and then plowed it
up to reduce the acreage.
Mr., Nights example has been fol-
lowed by many growers in Chattooga
county,
So far, we have heard of no one in
Cobb county cutting down their peach
trees, although the sale of the peaches
have not been as profitable as anticipa-
ted.

100000 BALES
LESS THIS YEAR
Commissioner Hudson Be-
lieves Crop Damaged
$4,000, 900.

That the cotton crop of Georgia has
been damaged by recent rains to the
amount of 500, 900 bales, worth $25 ,000,-
600, is the belief of Commissioner Of
Agriculture Hudson.
When this fact is taken in connection
with the loss and damage to the crop in
South Carolina, it is probable that the
cotton yield this year will be consider
ably reduced. Georgia's yield of .O00,-
900 last year will probably be cut to l.
100000 this year.
Commissioner Hudson stated that in
only two counties OF the state is the
present crop up to the standard OF last
years yield. In fourteen counties the
damage ranges from 10 to 20per cent.
1.-The heavy rains, which were gen.
eral throughout the state two or three
weeks ago, followed by the exceedingly
hot weather, accounts for the damage,
said Commissioner Hudson Friday
morning. 1.-THE two excesses-too much
rain and too much heat-caused the
cotton to shed its Young bolls and
squares to such an extent that every
acre of farm land in Georgia was liter
ally covered with them.
THE damage is greater this year than
ever before in my knowledge" he con-
tinued, "and the worst of it is that it is
now too late to offset or counterfeit the
damage. The crop is made, and it is
the shortest in the history of the state
in recent years.
