If the laVs are oppressive, why don't the- samie t laws bring ruin here, too? There is not but oue farm in twenty-four that has a ie ml nortgage upon it in Bartow County. e hat is the cause of this great and ks a'ariing difference between the farm ing interests of the North and the to South? Why is it that Maine, and a New Hampshire and Vermont have been partially abandoned by the farm Ve r ers? Why is it that so many of the as farms in New York and Illinois and SKansas and Missouri are under iort as ngage? I wish that we (lid know. If it r is the laws, please let us know what or laws. r And this reminds me of what I have re s just read in the Andover Review for et November. It is the organ of New En- r d gland orthodoxy. It is now lamentini the decay of religious interest among Ae the farming population of the North. n Dr. Dunning says that there are nine tv-five towns in Maine where no reli to tgous seivices are held, and there are ir ore country villages in Illinois with out the gospel, than in any other State in the Union. Just think of that! The great State of Illinois that has two counties that imake more grain than all Georgia. This great State that stands fifth in the scale of education, and for tieth in the grade of Christian religion. What do you say to this you advocates for education? Education regardless of moral training? Dr. Dunning says that the Presbyte rians have 1,200 churches without pas tors, and the pastors have 10,000! t u-Nearly all of these vacant churches are in the country towns, where farming h is the principal occupation of the peo ot pie. They once had pastors or religious e- services, but not now. The number of educated men in the Northern pulpits is steadily decreasing and the young A in t men who are graduatidg in the theo a logical seminaries are seeking other callings because there are no inviting m fields for them to work in. The city churches are futl, and the country wil not pay enough to keep body and soul together. ,k The fact is that farmers whose homes et are under rnortgage don't take much v stock in preachers or preaching. No It thing bows a man down like debt-a s, debt that he knows he cannot pay. d The best index of the prospeFity and t- the morality of a community is the j. standing of their preachrs. If the . people are doi'ng well they have got y preachers, and they pay them, and they r. fix up their churches and take a pride n in them. Poor people, poor pay; poor - pay, poor preach, and hence the young men who want to preach are discour ~e aged. n But, thank the good Lord for his e, mercies, this is not the case at the ry South. Our small to svns are generallyI re supplied. You can hardly find onet 2. that does not have preaching in some id church every Sabbath, .and Sunday-( o. schools are universal.

(.11 oNI), Va., "Nov. 9.-Thomas ,rasty of the Baltimore Manufacturers' itecord was in RiLchnond to-day, and while here gave some interesting facts xbout the force bilL He said: "About two months ago _Mr. W. 1'. Itice, the leader in Southern invest nents at Boston had occasion to visit Washington. At his request I went wit h him. Having formerly been a noted New-England Republican, he was warmly received by Speaker Reed in his private room. Reed bad lost sight of the fact that Ilice had placed several million of dollars in Southern proper ties, and so he took him into his confi dence. Said Reed: 'See here, Rice, something has got to be done to stop this exodus of capital from New-En gland. The South threatens to para lyze our industrial prosperity. This election bill will call a halt on South ern investmeuts, and that's why I am urg,ing- it so strenuously.'" "Mr. Rice 'confidentially reported this conversation to my friend Harry St. George Tucker of the Staunton (Va.) district, and not only to him. but to a number of Northern, and Eastern Representatives and Senators. At that moment it happened that the very men on whom Reed most relied in the Senate to strangle the South were so heavily interested in Southern properties that, to a man, they repudi ated allegiance to party and bethought them of the losses that would have to be pocketed in case the odious force bill should be passed." St ore Your Cotton and Get Your Price. As cotton is bringing such a low price now we think it advantageous to the farmer to hold his crop, or as much of it as possible, and wait for the prices to take a rise. In the next issue of the Cotton Plant will appear an able editorial on the subject and as we con sider it so appropriate in every sense of the word we give it below. Thp Cotton Plant thir week will say editorially: It is important that every farmer who stores cotton in Alliance Ware houses should put some limit of price upon his _i_ T" otber words, when you store your cotton, put your price on it, and authorize the manager to sell whenever a buyer offers that figure for it. This will greatly facilitate matters, should a buyer from a distance want a lot of cotton of a certain grade, and should look through the warehouse with a view of buying. Buyers would be induced to make special trips to the warehouses, if they knew that the manager could sell them a car load of cotton, after the price was agreed upon, without having to run around over the country and trade with a dozen differ ent men perhaps. More than this, if it were known that the manager had his cotton graded, and was prepared to quote pirices on car load lots of any desired grade, buyers from all over the country would be telegraphing to him to know wheth er he had certain grades and at what figures. In many cases, too, a car load of cot ton could be sold to a better advantage -that is, at a higher average price, than could he had for a single bale or a half dozen bales. In short, whenever we get our cotton graded and in car load lots; and it is understood that the nianager isauthot ized to sell above the limit fixed by you, your cotton market exp)ands be yond the limits of a little inland town market, and( takes within its possible scope the markets of the States, of the United States, of the world. Let the custorners at the warehouse in this county and in every counity, invariably put a reasonable price upon their cotton when they store it, and au thorize the manger to sell at or above that figure. In niy jndlgmient this pr'actice cor tamns the germis of direct shipment of cotton to Europe. It is not outside the range of possibilities for consignments of cotton to be niade direct from Alli anee WVarehouses to Liverpool,. and contmenital p)orts. It is coming, and comuinig through the channels of the Alliance. The day is comning when the miana gers of Alliance Warehouses alonig the Santee, Peedee and other navigable waters of our State will make consign ments of Alliance cotton direct to Euro pea ports as regularly as the weeks rll around. Finie fancy, you say? Well nievert he less indlividualds now living in this, Oranigeburg (County, have shippedl their cttoni to Liverpool dlirect at their own risk, andl for their individual accounmts with very sat isfactory results.

The final dividend will be 11 per cent. in cash on $6,451,000, and 8- shares of Northern Pacific pre ferred stock, 3& shares Oregon Steam ship and Navigation Company stock and three-fourths of a share of preferred stock of the St. Paul and Duluth Rail road to each $1 000 of claim to creditors holding that amount and upward. With the payment of the final divi dend the affairs of the estate of Jay Cooke& Co., will be wound up, and the total amount of cash paid on it will have been 1-51 per cent, on $6,451,000. The liabilities when the firm crashed in the memorable year 1874 were near ly $11,000,000. This amont has been reduced by comprom'ses, litigation and various formq of redemption to the figure above named, something less than 60 per cent. There were 3,200 creditors when the firm failed, the largest of whom were the banks and theGovernment. There has been no divinend paid since 1881, when the fourth one was distributed in cash to the amount of 13 per cent. cash. The fifth and final dividend brings the last chapter of this historic and honorable failure to a close. During the process of winding up the intricate affairs of the estate, the Jay Cooke interest has acauired about one half the outstanding claims through redemption and purchase. In the dis tributions of stocks and bonds to the creditors, the amount, in the aggre gate realized, has more than exceeded the extent of the claims. Ellison's Annual Cotton Review.

Mr. Russell Sage has been interview ed by the WVal-street Daily News about Jay Gould and his fortune. 1,e said: "There is not a man in America or in the world at large who absolutely owns and controls, and has registei-ed in his own name, as many stocks as Mr. Jay Gould. It is no exaggeration to say that be draws more revenue from his invested capital than does any other living soul. "In order that some idea may be had of his wealth, it is simply neces sary to take three of his stocks: Man hattan, of which he owns and has reg istered $10,000,000, Missouri Pacific, $12,500,000, and Western Union $2.5, 000,.000. Of these three, independent of his vast number of bonds and other dIividend-paying securities, he draws for dividends over $2,000,000 a year. His income from other sources, of course, amnounts to four or live times as much. "Pe'tole do not appreciate what the :lnwunmt of an income of a man like Mr. (;ould means, It will be readily seen that lhe cannot commence to use for his owvn piersonal uses even a smnallipart of the interest which the dividend mo ney alone would yield. He must rein vest it, and 1e does reinvest it. When y-ou consider that there are scores, and I might say hundreds, of people whose yearly rentals, dividends, interest on honds, etc., amount to, wvell, from a half millhon to two million dollars a year-, it will be readily seen that they have considerable surplus to put inte new in vestments. The creation of secu rities which continually goes on indi cates that there are plenty of peOple who are willing to put their money into them."

An Interpretation of His Book which Makes Him the Pioneer of Steam En gineering The last place in which one would be the book of Job. Yet a recent au thor has presented in a large octavo volume of 362 pages his conclusions on this very point. They are to the effect that the entire steam plant, railway organization, boiler and engine prac tice, are treated of by the inspired writer. We allude to the work of Mr. Samuel 0. Trudell, entitled "A Won derful Discovery in the Book of Job." If the author's view of the case were adopted, a new chapter in the history of the steam engine would be supplied, and the Marquis of Worcester would have to yield to Job as the pioneer in steam engineering. Behemoth and the Leviathan have always been -adopted by many com mentators as the animals referred to. But Mr. Trudell goes beyond the most doring inovator, and in a revised ver sien of the passages relating to these monsters finds allusions to the steam engine of to-day. A description of the method followed in his new interpre tation will give the best idea of this most striking effort in the field of bibli cal criticism. The author, fully to support his the ory, has been compelled to furnish a new rendering of the parts of the book of Job which he uses. Accordingly we find a translation given of the pas sages in chapter xl. and xli. which re late to the Behemoth and Leviathan. The claim is made without reserve that it is the modern steam engine in its different forms that is there de scribed. It is evident that our space does not permit us to give the full bases for the argument. The separate verses are made subjets of as many chapters, an.d the analogies traced be tween the descriptions in the poetry of Job and the more prosaic steam motor are really surprising. Tho most cu rious details are traced out, such as the supply of water to the boiler, the up right smoke-stack, and even the ma nipulation of the stock of railroad com panies is found described. The size and number of pages in the volume give the besl evidence of the work bestowed by the author upon his labor of love. It may be worth while to cite from the special translation appended to the book some of the most striking pass ages. The account begins chapter xl., now one with great heat, . . . he will consumeIoW"er os well as cattle do," which is pret y fair description of a steam engine. A little further on, v. 17, it says, "His tail will set upriht like a cedar." This, the author concludes, refers to the smoke stack. In v. 18 we find, "His hollow bones are tubes of brass, his solid bones are bars of iron," which is a very good embodiment of modern engineering practice. In v. 11, which the special translation renders, "He will rest be neoth light shelters and within a coy ering of fibrous reeds and clay," the author finds an allusion to non-con ducting covering for boilers and steam pipes. Going on to the next chapter, we find v. 6 thus rendered, "Companies will feast upon him, they will share him among speculators," which it is needless. to say fits the case of modern railroad companies and speculators ex actly. Th's is one of the extraordinary parallels of the work. It is perhaps equaled by v. 2 of the same chapter, where the hook (ring) in the monster's nose i, construed as an allusion to the piston rings of a locomotive, and where the jaw bored through with a thorn supplies an rilusion to the piston head bored through with its piston rod. The bad effects of an engineer allowing his water to run down is given in the same chapter, v. 25, ,'From dryness render ing him furious, he will not have pow er to to withhold; the curved vault be ing to break up and also the armor." This, of course, means that the engin eer must watch his water gauges or there will be an explosion. For a portion of v. 23, chap. xl., and for v. 24 immediately following the author furnishes the following transla tion : "Behold hc will absorb a river and not fret ; . . . he wvill gather it, up in his fountains by means of traps and with a perforated nozzle." Our author in this finds described to action of a pump with its valves (traps,) and the perforated suction pipe with a screen at its epd to exclude solid par ticles. Even the coup)ling together of a train of cars is found in v. 1 of the next chapter : "Thou wilt extend Le viathan with a hook, or with a snare which thou wilt cause his tongue to press down." The tongue our author believes is the representative of the coupling link, and the hollow draw head and pin is the "s,nare." The caulking of the boiler is found in v. 15 of this chapter: "His strength de pends on courses of shields closed up tightly with a seal." Our author finds nothing clearer than the "shields" are boiler plates, and the "seal" the caulk ing iron. He reseives, however, the possibility that the steam riveter is the sealing mechanism. This much is enough to give an idea of the book. The author has been his own Hebraist. The Semitic student and author Rabbi Benjimini Szold, of Baltimore, testifies to his high opinionl of Mr. Truddell's translations. It must also be said in conclusion that the sub ject is treated throughout with full evi dence of critical discernment and la borious investigation. For rheumatic and neuralgic pains, rub in Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment, and take Dr. J. H. Mc Lean's Sarsaparilla. You will not suffer long, will be gained with a speedy and efiective cure. PROF. KOCH'S CONSUMPTION CURE rhe Discovery Pronounced a Complete Success, and the German Government Will Adopt the Reniedy. BERLIN, November 9.-Prof. Berg nann inoculated fifteen consumptive )atients on Thursday by Prof. Koch's )rocess, and on the following day ex iibited one of the patients before a iumber of physicians, in order to show he change that had resulted within wenty-four hours. The Borsen Courier says it has au hority for the statement that Prof. Koch's remedy has proved to be a suc ess. A famous German surgeon, it ays, cured within five days a case of upus, or necrotic tubercular destruc ion of tissues of the face. The National Zeitung-Isays Prof. Koch, although he has pe-formed a iumber of cures, does 'not yet consider he time come for the publication of is researches. Although the remedy ias been applied to patients in tLe 'harity Hospital and in some private ases, its composition remains a pro 'ound secret. It has been ascertained that toxalbu nine is the most important ingredi mt in the lymph. Prof. Koch himself nakes this fluid, which is injected ike morphine to the lung consump Ives in the back, and the other con ,umptives in the nearest spot to the tflected part-thus, in consumption of ;he larynx, for instance, it would be at iome point in the throat. In most cases the patients suffer from i high fever for two days after inocula Jon, but this is not dangerons, as has oeen proved by the fact that all the %ases on which the treatment has been 1ried have stood it well and have re 5ulted most favorably. A case of lupus vulgaris has been ured within a few days, and the .pa tient's face was not at all deformed. The speech from the throne at the opening of the Prussian Diet, on Wed nesday next, will contain a demand [or 500,000 marks for starting Kock lymph depots all over Prussia. Not Capt. Ben Til1man, But His Nephew Who was Declined Admission to the South Carolina Club. [Special to Charleston World.] COLUMBIA, NOV. 13.-A sensation was created this evening by the publi ation in the Record of an article stat ing that Governor-elect Tillman had made application to the South Carolina - '- -%bership and at the meet clu-u r5ori LZ( .L !, ralld ing last night he was 5faca - President Alston called at the-NN-r.L Budget bureau and asked rublication Df the statement that the article is an egregious blunder, as Capt. Tillman did not make application, nor_ was his name mentioned during the meeting, The Record's reporter also stated that be was mistaken, having confounded Capt. Tillman's name with that of Jas. H. Tillman, a son of the congressman and nephew of Capt. Tillman his in formant simply using the name "Till man.'' There is still a sensation in the mat ter, however, and here is the truth of it: Jas. H. Tillman came to the fair, in tending -to go the state ball, and ac cordingly made application, under the rule, for membership in the South Carolina club. His application was endorsed by ex-Governor Sheppard and Adjutant General Bonham. Be fore the meeting Mr. Tillman was informed that he was going to be blackbnlled. After consultation with friends he withdrew his application. It it needless to say his friends are very indignant, and to-day the matter is very generally discussed by them. They say he is the victim of prejudice, and declare that such a thrust at his social standing will-be met half way. Read This! Thankgiving and Christmas days are just at hand!

[From the Louisville Courier-Journal.] On the side of the Big Black Moun tain, .300 yards from the Wise county line, in Harlan county, Ky., there stood until Inst week a tree that is thouht to be the most valuable tree in the South Apalaaebian Mountains. It is curled graIn black walnut, and the owner had it grubbed up by the roots so as not to lose even a chip. A New York lumber dealer bonght the tree from an ignorant mountaineer for $.50, paid a man $300 to move it to the nearest railroad and thinks he will make a profit of $5,000 from the trec' THE AMERICAN BOY. No One is His Equal in Contriving Mischief. [Irom the New York Star.] Can a more mischievous creature be imagined than the American small boy? The wonderful fertility of ideasof this boy was demonstated to meyester day in Brooklyn by two street inci dents. A large business house is in course of erection at the corner of Ful ton and Franklin avenues. I, happen. ed to be at that corner just as the work men quit work. Two of them in charge of a stationary engine carefully banked its fires and left. They were hardly out of sight when half a dozen boys sneaked up to the engine, and one lifted a second on his shoulders, while the sup ported urchin turned on the valve that supplied steam to the whistle. As soon as it began screeking the youngsters ran away at full speed. I stayed ten minutes to see if any one would come to turn off this steam, but as I left the whistle was still blowing. Two blocks lower down I saw two prettily dressed girls come out of a drug store, each car rying a syphon of mineral water. As they walked toward the City Hall a boy stole up behind each of the girls, pressed the faucet of each syphon and the water poured down on the neat dresses of the misses. The boys- made good their escape, although an indig nant citizen tried to capture them. Stock Raising. [W. L. J. in Atlanta Constitution.] With the return of autumn, droves of horses and mules are pouring into the cottori States. As soon as the mar keting of cotton fairly begins, and the farmer is supposed to have some cash, the wiley trader plies him with flaming advertisements of fine stock. How long will our people pursue the policy of raising cotton to buy mules where with to raise more cotton. Will they never tire of this perpetual moving in a circle? It takes about four bales of cotton to buy' a good male, does any one believe, for a moment, that it would cost a farmer half that amovnt to raise one? If n6t, why do our peo ple persist in raising cotton to buy mules? Is it less trouble? Think of the labor required to raise cotton-ne gro labor with all the irritations and annoyances connected with it. Let the difficulty of getting cotton picked, the present season, bring'this matter home to our minds.. Is it not our ttue policy to reduce cotton to a strictly surplus, money crop? Do not the in creasing scarcity of labor, and both so i1A1 and political considerations a.rge A pr. ,4w of this course. Conixdin~ pur.QU the superiority of cotton to other crops as a money crop in the Southern States, why should it be raised in place of other tbings that are of actual necessity on the farm. Why complicate the owning of a mule with the uncertain ties and annoyances connected with labor, with the fiuctuations in value consequent upon speculation in cotton, with the risks of panics and disturb- - ances in the money market, with the profits of warehousemen, buyers, rail roads, wharf owners, shipowners and the whole array of middlemen. Why allow the farmers of Kentucky or Illi nois to get a profit out of the mule he fore he comes to you? Why allow the railroads to put their hands into your pockets for transporting him to you, and the trader to gouge you still deeper for the little work he does in bringing him to your door. Consider how many profits are taken out.of the four bales 4 of cotton and out of the mule, before the latter reaches the farmer. Now, if he raises the mule at home, how does the matter stand? The mule can be raised without the negro, no s.pecula tion, no tightness in money market, no profits of middlemen, or of railroads intervene. The western farmer and the trader get no profit out of him. The farmer pays nothing but the actual cost of raising the mule. Is this so great that it exceeds the first cost of the mule to the Kentucky farmer, with all the profits mentioned above added to it? Does any one believe that? What advantage has a Kentucky or Illinois farmer over a Georgia farmer in raising a mule? You say their lands are richer and will grow better grain and grass. Possibly so, but their lands cost $100 an acre against $10 an acre in Georgia. They may grow better blue grass than we can in Georgia, but we can offqet that with Bermuda, and our red clay soils will not lag far behind in raising clover. Texas blue grass bids fair in - Georgia to rival Kentucky blue grass in Kentucky. Two years' trial of it, in competition with orchard, red top, tall meadow oat, and English blue grass (festuca elator), on our station ground at Athens, shows great and marked superiority to them all. It is evidently a plant of wonderful vigor in our hot climate. The winters in Ken tucky and Illinois are longer and colder than ours, calling for more housing and winter feeding of stock. Labor costs more with them than with us. In striking a balance, the advantages are with the cotton States, and it would seem that nothing but the momentum of a long continued habit perpetuates the folly of raising cotton to buy horses and mules.
