Atlanta O
Hard, hard indeed, ia'the contest
for freedom and the struggle for liber
ty. Here I atc at Clinton barricaded,
ambus ceded, cnliladed and any other
distrossiugi thing, for there is -a wreck
re ven milos away and they say it.will
take all day to remove it. And so L
can't get ? home lonight. - Oh, tho
pity of ic, [for I am tired and home
sick. I am not calm aud serene. I
was at Laurens last night and found
good friends, who made thc lingering
hours pleasant, but all, the time L was
comforted with the thought that it
was my last day away from my numer
ous wife and children und grand-chil
dren. I left thc hotel at 5 o'clock
this morning and walked at a lively
gait down to the depot to take the
early train for Clinton, where I was to
intercept the Seaboard foi Atlanta and
then for home. Hut the train for
Clinton did? not come and nobody
knew when it would come. I waited
until half-past. 7 o'clock-and time
was fleeting; went back up town, hired
;? uvery stable man to drive me over
lo Clinton by 9:30 o'clock to catch the
Seaboard. Thc road was awful, but
the norse was a good on ? and I knew
he could make the tpu miles in two
hours and I felt happy . on the way.
We did make it nod as 1 stepped on
the platform lfelt ; ? -*<td that 1 had
?jot waited on that belated train. But,
oh, what a fall was there, my country
men, when the agent told me the Sea
board was in a wreck and. could not
get here until late iu tho day and per
haps later.
Well, here I nm-no gardeu to dig
in ; no children to frolic with aud
nothiug to do but ruminate. Yes,
ruminate upon the trials and crosses
and disappointments of this sublunary
world and I find myself humming that
plaintive.old song, "Pity thc Sorrows
of a Poor Old Man." But this prc- I
face is the shadow-ibo dark side of !
the picture, and now I will brighten
up and look at the other side and feel
ashamed of myself, for after all my
disappointment is only for? a day and
it is uot as bad as? war nor sickness
nor death in the family. And, be
sides, I am at Clinton, thc loveliest
village of the plain. Yes,. Clinton,
where I have a host of kind friends
who are glad to see me and wouldent
be sorry that I am belated here if I
was ndt sorry for myself. I was here
two days ago and Lad a real ovation,
a- largo audience and a^love feast after
the lecture. . In this little town of
2,500 people I had 400 out to hear and
to greet me and many of them were
from the country and some carno
several miles, for the night was love
ly and the fall moon smiled Upon
everybody and everything. The wo
men turned out in force, for they do
love to see and hear, a man who has
been subdued by matrimony and does
not claim to bo one of the lords of
creation-a mau who helps'.his wife tpl
nurse the'cbildrcn aud plant the flow
ers; a man who, away in thc dead of
night, will let his wife 'rest and sleep
while he walks the room in his night
gown with a teething child in his arms
and sings his little sonp ? until his
eyelidsjdroap and his legs get weary
and hts thoughts say you are a little
darling and I wouldent take a million
dollars for you-but I wouldent give a
nickel for another. A fond father has
nono to sell, but doesent want to buy,
but a true mother gives glad welcome
to all who come and is even happy in
the prospect.
? While'in Clinton I was thc guest of
Mr. Bailey, the banker and mill man,
a modeKgentleman of the jpld school
whose maxims are truth and honesty,
whose sons ' and daughters are ' liko
olive plants around his table and, have
never given him a moment's 'grief or
anxiety. And now that thoy aro ali
grown up and established in their own
business,*ho has adopted several hun
dred factory children and. is delighted
e^ery day? to visit them in the? cotton
mill and placo his baud kindly and
gently upon their heads ns he passes
them at tho spindle or the loom ile
has built for theni a church and em
ployed a preacher and established a
'.Sunday''Behool audit hae awakened in
hts bosdin a new lovo for his fellow
creatures and he ti: growing young
again. This cotton mill runs 1G,000
spindtes and 450 looms and has pros
pered ever since ?897, when it w?s
completed The stoce. is ai a p.emiuiu
of 30 per cent. ?uu Us surplus earn
ings are all invested in enlarging lia
capacity and inqreasing its products.
Now think of it. _ Herc is a mill that
manufactures only a fine grade of cloth
and consequently onlycbn8umesK about
3,000 bales of cotton. He has'now on
hand enough cotton to run until next
December and it was al} bought for 7
cents per pound: Hov has orders'
ahead nt fixed prices for all the goods
honan make this year. His goods
aro already sold at 51 cents a yard and
it takes 4? yards to weigh a pound.
Now counting for a los? in weight of

pound for tho cotton that cost him 7
cout?. Labor aud machinery does
thc work und tho cost ol' that depends
: upon tho man aud tho management.
Tho m ill owners can grind that labor
down to u starvation price if they
choose to, but, Mr. Hailey assures tue
that i: is possible and practicable to
pay these operative* good living prices
iind pr?vido good, comfortable cottages
und. u gurdon and fuel and all tho ne
cessaries and many of thc comforts of
life and leave a good profit fof thc
stockholders. Now why -can't every
town in Georgia do likewise.? Tho
traveler is hardly ever out? of sight of
a smokestack over diere iu Carolina. I
am just from the good old town of
Laurens, only ten miles away, and
they have a mill there with ."JO.OOO
spindles and SOO looms, When every
county spins and weaves all thc cot
ton it glows then the South will truly
bc independent.
Iiut the most beautiful feature pf
Clinton i's tho orphanage-the Thorn
well orphanage-that in iwonty-live
years has developed from a plain
building with rooms for twenty or
phans iutt? a lovely village of rock
built, solid, handsome houses two
stories high and in tho best architec
tural design and-where 200 of thejor
phariS'reside. No one-would ever sus
pect that this village was an orphan
age that was built on faith and chari
ty .'and for all these years has been
maintained in the Fame wa3T. I visi
ted and inspected every tenement and
was delighted. I tell you that these
orphans are not orphans very long af
ter they get here. They are put to
worlc'aud to school and soon learn to
do their shore in maintaining the in
stitution. They are put to printing,
carpentering, shoe-making, painting,
engineering, farming,'dairying, dress
making, cooking and everything else
that holps to run a household and
everything is methodized aud goes on
like clock work. A happier, brighter
looking flock qi children I never saw.
They dress ncutly aud keep clean and
their rooms and beds ure models of
cleanliness. The advanced boys and
girls have to greduate in the seminary
and then some of them find a place in
thc college that is near by. Most of
the boys find good places in the shops
and manufacturing establishments and
printing offices all over the country.
Many of the girls become teachers and
dressmakers and they never leave the
orphanage until a good plaoeis offered
them. Neither boys nor girls] aro
even bound to anybody. They have
an independent manhood aud woman
hood acquired before they leave the
j orphanage and they uever dishonor or
disgrace it. There aro children here
from every Southern State and a few
from the North and there is one little
i waif from Cuba. He is about ten
? years old.and is as happy now as he
was poor and miserable in Cuba. His
father and mother uctuallyj[i3tarved tp
death there during the long trouble
aud this boy was found iu a ditch sit
ting by the corpse of his dead sister.
A Clinton soldier brought him here
and begged a plaoe for him. I forgot
to mention that the advanced scholars
did all tlicjjw?od work in thc several
homes and it s beautifully done
stairs, mantels, doors, windows, bed
steads, hatracks and wainscoating is
all their work andris in up-to-date
style. Their printing goes ail over
the country and the girls soil first
class butter1 in the market. The or
phanage runs a farm ?and has-'a herd
of Jersey cattlo aud not only supplies
their own meat and vegetables, but al
waysihai some to sell. There aro not
less than*225 mouths to feed, and they
arc well fed, and they show it in face
and form and movement.
Iscnt this wonderful,5 and it is all
done by a faith i?and trust equal to
Muller's. Theyjtell me here that Dr.
Jacobs is in partnership with tho
Lord and that Mr. Ba?ley'is the Lord's
.financial agent. Certain is it that
i these two work heartily together, and
! more so since Mr. Bailey's son married
! Dr. Jacob's daughter.
[ Well, Georgia has thirty-seven or
I ph an s here and cares for them and I
was proud to know that Carterville
nr?t only inain tai ned an asylum, but
had a little share in tho mite cottage
that was built hy the offerings of the
children. There seems to be no limit
to the expansion nf. fj*js grcsi **crk.
Tho money comes in just as fastas
tut? number of orphans incroaso and
no fast jr. "I am tho God of the
fatherleus" is visible and palpable in
everything about tbiB wonderful in
stitution. I couldfwrite a book about
it; but time and space and place for
bid, for I am at last*on tho train and
bound for home. lb saddens me to
know that an engineer and fireman
were killed OD the engine that wrecked
the train a,few miles from Clinton.
On this little tour into South Caro
lina I have visited good old Abbeville
and new Greenwood and, was made
much of at both places. My stayat
Abbe ville was must delightful, for
was the guest of Mr. aud Mrs. Spec
whore I found five little children wi
behaved well and had bright, cle:
faces and sat on my kucc and rode <
my foot and one wanted to know wi
pulled all my hair out and I told h
I that Mrs. Arp did it.
At Greenwood I stopped at tho fii
new Oregon Hotel, which is the be
1 have ever found, and a Gcorgii
keeps it. Ile put mo in the brid
chamber and when I expressed u
surprise he said he heard about OJ
golden wedding and expected me i

The ?rink thie*tlon.
?Editor* intelligencer : Having no
ticed in a receut issue of your excel
lent paper a request to hear from tho
women ou the "Drink Question," I
gladly respoud.
I would willingly lay down my lifo
to save thc fair youths of our land.
Although we often think our Coys arc
safe, "that the twig ia bent." yet.
then, there ari? almost resistless temp
tations confronting them, misfortunes j
befalling them, leading them on and '
on until they themselves feel tli.it they 1
cannot ref uso the cup.
I ;t:i; so glad to hear from ono eiti* (
zen on this question, and we, thu WO>
me ti, hopo to hear from others until
there is a chango for the better.
Why canuot wc, as will as other
Counties, do away with the deadly
sturt' entirely ? Wu once had prohi
bition. and L am sure wc then did not
see near so much drunkenness passing
our doors as now. But wc bave erred
through strong drink ; are "swallowe d
up in wine," and have "stumbled in I
judgment." 1 never have heard the j
quotation
'.Who with a little canuot bu co?tent,
Endures an overlaying punishment,''
applied lo drink, but we have seen it
verified.
Let thc good men of our County
wake up, and we, tho women, will come
to/ their assistance with unceasing
prayers. If nothing more, we'll train
up our little boys to know tho evil in
thc dregs of tho cup ; and let them at
least rejoice in reflecting on their
youth, "that sons may bc as plants
grown up in their youth, that our
daughters may be as corner-stones,
polished after tho similitude of a
palace."
Many a time has inj heart leaped
with joy at hearing my six-year-old
little boy repeat this,piece of poetry,
which ho says as a speech :
"A KIU-S ol' cider, sweet, you ?av !
>?i>* any, sir, for me ;
For eider is but oilier, air,
Wbato'er it* tasto may lie.
I will not drink it, sweet or sou-,
For if I should begiu
I might uot know just whore to stop
Where sweet goes out and sour gets in..
"fis but the applo's juice, you say,
Aud God made them to uso.
So did He make corn, wheat aud rye,
Whose virtues mau abuse ;
And when they drink, and swear and
fight,
Muet God, then, bear the blame
Because the deadly stu il' was made
From his great gifts of graiu ?
He giveth much iuto our hands,
But always for our good ;
He never meant that we should use
Strong drink instead of food.
I'll drink no cider, beor nor rum,
But this I'll do ioBtead
Rat my share of the apples, sir,
And t?ke my grain ia bread.
Let us try, whether our efforts
prove successful or not, to-trample thc
evil nuder foot. God will bless us in
tho attempt.
The son should look to his father as
the guide - pf ^his youth. Thou the
sweetness of our homes will spread.
Terror, poverty and shame will vanish
and peace, like thc rainbow, will rest
upon the earth, its arch will extend to
heaven. Then, and not, until then,
will our churches have the proper
number of pillars and corner-stones.
"A stone that is fit for the wall is
never left in tho way." The drunk
ard should not say "I can't," no more
than the little' school-boy, but say
"I shall," remembering that
'.Beloved self must be denied,
Pasr-ion and envy, lust and pride."
It is often said, "trouble makes
some men yield to this weakness."
They are only adding to their burden
by drinking.
"There's many a sorrow
Would vani?b to-morrow
Wore we but willingio furnish the wings;
But eudly intruding,
And quietly ? rooding.
It hatches out all sorts of horrible thing?."
My dear sisters, let us make our
homes attractive ; bo hopeful, cheer
ful, loving and kind ourselves, not
giving away to worry and fretfulness,
llemcmber that
"God is marking eac:i sorrowing day.
And numbering ovsry Recret tear,
And Heaven's long ago of bliss shall pay
For all thy suffering here."
