A Good IV.j Letter. , til Last niylit 1 read to iny family |>or- J<" tions of a long article bv a preacher describing the sad condition of a pro- jy pie lie has recently visited. Out of tit one hundred and sixty-eight towns in | t'1 the State he visited seventy of them that are oil' from the railroads, and all , of these have decreased in population an since 1890. None of these towns have settled pastors or preachers and the churches are abandoned or have ,j0 preaching at irregular intervals and y, the attendance hardly ever exceeds vj( twenty-live persons. The Sabbath y, schools are equally deserted. The j,,. once busy plants of small industries are dead and the people farm only for j-() the bare necessities of life. Houses, jyj barns, and fences are going to decay y, and the little mills that were on the (.j, creeks have tumbled down and the y, dams have washed away. Here and 0j( there you will see a stately mansion yu sheltering some degenerate family in y, the back woods while the vacant front ()|( greets you with the silence of the tomb. Sometimes you will tiud an old j,,' man and woman alon in an old ances- y tral home. I found a mother and her .() two sons and two old maids in op* >p| house not one of whom could rea< s., The intermarriage of near relative ' or not marrying at all is common and vu bachelor and divorced men and widow- j(( ers have housekeepers and they onhlushingly cohabit with them and young ^irls become crass widows by ^|, t ho t imp I lii'v nrp si?ti<pn " Where Js all this?" said my wife. iu| "I don't believe a word of it. it is jj some newspaper lie a fake made up v by some reporter." 1 read on. In on one town I found the usual Saturday a , night dance going on in an old vacated !in tavern and they danced and (levelled and drank until Sunday morning. ,'m Sunday is no more observed than it is W( in Chicago, for they hoc and dig and t.|j gather hay all the same as on week Cl days. Illiteracy, insanity and imbc- an cility are very marked! 1 found one 1^, family in which both parents were a idiots and had raised up a family of wj idots. In another home or house I found a poor father taking care of , ^ three motherless children, all Idiots. W( "1 don't believe a word of it," said ra my wife. "There is no such people tj, in this country. What paper are you ln, reading from?" wj One can hardly conceive of the tilth Ml and vice reigning in these country a , places called homes?a barbarism dif- aI] fering from the city slums only in its stagnant Inertia and touched as little by church influences as ir in the heart an or Africa. The conntry people all h, r?able to read or w^^^^oosetn their j); family relations, socially corrupt, giv- wj en to drink, and some to the opium habit. And these are the towns wliere half a century ago, lived the best fam- ,,e ilies of the State. Among them the Fields (Cyrus and his brother), the Abbotts, the Barnes and Donald Mitchell and others. And now let me tell you, my dear wife, I am reading from The llartford Times and this is only a short portion ( of the report read in New Haven recently by Rev. Mr. Hutching, a Bible colporteur, of Connecticut. This report Is fully accredited to he () true and l he editor of The Times tries "J.* to tone it down by saying, "The same = conditions described by Mr. Hutebins for Connecticut are common to all the 1 ' older States." Be v. George Horr. of J' of Massachusetts, is also a Bible col- ' porteur for that State and he said in Boston the other day, '1 have driven l, nil nvpr N'nw Vnirlinul with mv fiwn horses and my conviction is them is no immortality in any western mining ^ town that will compare with what you ^ And a few miles from any New EnKland town. Mr. llutehins' observa- ' = tion corresponds exactly with my own." ()jj; (IckmI friends, kind friends, what is ' to he done about this. Hut the editor j ' of The Times Is mistaken when he ( says the same conditions are common ,t to all the older States. We have no j such people in (leor^ia. In some of ' our mountain counties the people are illiterate, but tney are honest and t(i. moral and attend church and observe the marriage relation and obey the (, laws of the land and make the best un soldiers the world ever saw. They ,)('j have courts twice a year and it takes a( only a half a week to clear thccrimi- '^r nal dockets. Now, I was thinking that as Ilos- ? ton and Hartford and New Haven had ^ sent a bit,' lot of money down here to 'r* educate and reform our negroes It would lie nothing but fair for us to I('( send a lot of the graduates up there l(jr to do missionary work in Connecticut and Massachusetts. These neuro graduates couldn't teach them the t||( lost art of making wooden nutmegs. ( but they could teach school and preach and the New England people could pir pay them for it and keep their money ' ^ at home. Something must he done ri s and done quick, or the old Puritan '. race will become extinct.

A dispatch from Charleston to the .ugusta Herald says war against the lind tigers of Charleston has develop1 quite a sensation in which some Utrtllng assertions against the Intruder of Charleston's chief of poise have been made by means of plucig placards In the- window of one of l.n .O........ ......r. 1 Ol iiv |/iavu>> icvnmj ru#3t*u nintT lie tirst of Ills administration Ooveror Heyward has been keeping the jnstabulary moving actively a gains', lie blind timers, of Charleston. The evelopnienlR in the Chicoo afTair were proud broadcast and read with con iderable interest in a great muni ewspap^rs, but tiu* latest "affair" is lie lirst of a really sensational type so ir. Several days ago a blind tiger 1111 by It. M. MeManus was raided by rderof Mayor Sinythe and ever since here have been placards placed daily i the window knocking on the haracter of the chief of the police epartment to stare pedestrians in the ice. The day following the raid this tie appeared: "This business was closed by orders of a drunken, ii.c 111 pet en t Chief of Police." No notice was taken of the placard y the otlicials. but it was reau by evrybody that passed the place. The rilowing day an even more sensationi placard was exhibit* d in the willow, reading as follows: "Why don't this drunken Chief of Pol ire lie as active in closing other places as he has this. The Coventor could then call in the constabulary." The alTair did not stop with this lacard, nor was it allowed to remain ing in its plaee. Apparently not atistied with the effect a single pla arc! was having, the advertisement .us changed this morning, and intead of one card, the show window .as decorated with an array of cards hat was calculated to stop anyoac .ho might lie passing, and could not elp hut have some resting place in he minds of the readers. The signs isplayed are as follows: "What the community wishes to know is why this Chief of Police disgraces the uniform that the taxpayers put on his back. Who pays the rent of No. .'17 Coming street? Who runs that den? Let him answer that, too." "Closed by order of that I >ehaucher. impostor upon the taxpayers ;us the Chief of Police. Had he been sober instead of a state of beastly intoxication on the night of the murder of Young Pinckney the perpetrators of that foul deed might have been apprehended." "Who but tliis rotten Chief of Police is responsible for the robbery of tlie old Veterans during the reunion in the year 16518?
