'In Debt."
A man who attempted to raise
some money on a subscription paper
I for a necessary church out West ro-
j lates his experience as follows:
'"The tirst man I went to said lie
I was very sorry, but the fact was he
I was so involved in his business that
he couldn't give anything at the pre-
I sent time. Very sorry indeed, but a
! man in debt as he was. owed his first
I duty to his creditors.
j '"He was smoking an expensive
cigar and before I left the store he
bought of a peddlar who came in. a
pair of expensive Rocky Mountain
cut? buttons.
"The next man 1 went to was a
young clerk in a banking establish
ment. He read the paper over, ac
knowledged that tin-church was very
greatly needed, but said that he was

j. ne uiii ij man lownom t present-
ed the paper was a farmer living
near the town. He- also was very
sorry. but times were hard, his crops
had been a partial failure, the mort
gage on his farm was a heavy load,
the interest was coming' due. and he
really couldn't see his way clear to
give to the church, although he free
ly acknowledged it was ju.-t what
the town needed.
"A week from that time I saw the
same farmer drive into town with
his entire family, and go to the cir

In the 4!th registration report of

The greater exposure of men to ac

constant strain of business life, to
the anxiety of providing for the fam

The deaths by accident among men
are more than three-fold greater than
among women, and the men commit
suicide in about a three-fold ratio as

AP.OUT THK "SOUTHERN BULLV."
Bill Arp Takes Exceptions t Page' Ar
ticle in 1 lie Forum.
The Forum is a most excellent
magazine. It has ever been fair and
liberal in sentiment towards the
South. It is a medium for advanced
thought, a conservative educator,
and is always welcome at my fire
side. Hut I confess I am not pleased
with tho editor's article on the
''Southern Bully" in the November
number. Indeed. I did not know
that we had such a professional in
stitution in all our borders, and Mr.
Page's twelve pages of philosophical
anathema against him have failed to
convince me of his existence or of
our danger from his lawless conduct.
Distance does not always lend en
chantment to the view. If Mr. Page
lived here in Cartersville he would
soon be surprised to find that the
bully was not in these parts but was,
perhaps, a little lower down where
the mosquitoes aggravate a man or
some foul miliaria poisons his liver
and disturbs his serenity. When I
was a boy studying my first geogra
phy. I found there a picture of a
heathen Chinee carrying on a pole a
long string of rats for sale, and so
for forty years I believed that rats
were the Chinaman's national food.
Indeed. I was disappointed when I
leariied that they did not eat rats.
I had believed it so long I wanted to
continue in the faith. In the same
book there was a picture f a scene
in Florida. It was a dark, slimy
lagoon surrounded by a tangled I

Just so some of our Northern
brethren have
.I. ii no . mi mi mi n .
that the South used to be full of des
peradoes, and is even now spotted
with bullies who are1 clinging to bar
barism and brutality. They want to
continue' in that faith. Mr. Page
says "the bully is an old

war. the penalty of which other men
who had nothing to do with it. had

the South and he leads mobs to

deformed and swaggering villain."
Well. 1 am glad he is gone, if lie was
ever here, for he must have been an
awful bad man. Strange I did not
come across him in my youth
stranger still that in the induction
of the war "minima pass fui" I did
not recognize him and now in my old j
age' I do not see him with Ins last
hold upon the throat of law and or
der. It seems tome that Mr. Page
has set tin the tenpins iust to have

T,
If lie mean
that those who voted
for secession were the bullies, then I
plead guilty along with many of our
noblest Christian gentlemen, such as
Howell Cobb and Tom Cobb and Joe
Brown and General Evans and Col
quitt and Gordon and Nisbett and a
host of others whom the people of
Georgia have delighted te honor.
Sureh he is not making a fling at
these men. The right to soce'de has
long ago been settled. Settled when
I the North did not dare to try Mr.
I Davis for treason, their greatest
I lawyers declaring that he ceiuld not
be legally convicted. The South se
cededthat was all. It was the
North that made war about it. Then
who does he mean by the bully who
had much to do with the war? May
be he means the common soldiers,
the high privates, the '"hoi polloi"
who mainly did the fighting. No. he
cannot mean them, for they wore pa
triots. Patriotism was their only
motive for they owned no negroes
whose slavery was in peril. And
besides red-handed swaggering vil
lains do not fight. They are cow
ards. I remember but two or three
town bullies in Home when we were

; means the lynchers, we must defend
them from ever-thing but lynching.
Tho- are neither red-handed, de
formed nor swaggering. Tlier are
not villains. The' do not "pretend
to the traditions ef the old Southern
gentleman." The- are not a class.
They are a communitv'. You cannot
go into any town or settlement and
pick them out and say this man will
be a lyncher when the horrible crime
is committed. Mr. Page professes
the higlu-st respect for Bishop Ihu'
good, as evcrybodT does who knows
him, and j-et eloes not seem to re
spect his assertion that "the South
ern people are not cruel and never
were. They are a kind-hearted peo-
pie; good to one another and to all
men. They are kind to dumb brutes.
Whatever may be true or false about
them, they were never cruel-hearted.
They were kind to the negroes when
they were slaves they are kind to
them now."
If this be true then where are the
bullies that these sweeping reproach
es are hurled at, for it was this same
kind-hearted class of people who
burned the negro at Paris; the same
kind who slew the negro rapist at
Port Jervis, in New York; the same
kind that have avenged the purity of
woman in Illinois and Michigan.
The same red-handed, swaggering
villains. The only difference be
tween the North and the South is
that the fe'inale victims here are hun
dreds to every single one at the
North. Over olio have been record
ed within twelve months. The hu
man nature that prompts the lynch
ing is the same everywhere every
where where the innocence and vir
tue of woman is respected, and let
me add that the greater the respect
the more speedy and terrible the
punishment. Bishop Ilaygood says
'"the South has always been pecu
liarly jealous of its women." Mr.
Page throws a sneer at this when he
says it is the swaggering villain who
struts around and leads mobs to
avenge "our women."
Perhaps he is not aware that the
marriage relation is much more "sac-red
at the South than at the North,
especially among our common peo
ple, who have not much else to live

Last Week in Trade Circles.
SjiociiJ Corre'spondenee.
New York, Nov. 20, ISttt.
Business conditions during the last
week have continued to improve.
The progress toward a better state
of affairs in the commercial and in
dustrial world has been necessarily
slow; but it is gratifying to know
that the tendency to gradual recu
perat ion has met with no setback.
The effects of the severe depression
of the summer and early fall months
are still apparent in restricted con
sumption, the partial idleness of
many industries, and the enforced
conservatism of merchants whose
ability to make new purchase's or to
liquidate ohl indebtedness has been
impaired by the prolonged conges
tion of trade. But mercantile set
tlements are now progressing more
satisfactory-, the volume of business
is slowly expanding, and many mills
and factories are starting up again
after a long periexl tf suspension.
The lateness of the season and the
natural disposition to proceed cau
tiously after the recent experiences
in the business world combine to re
tard the more rapid development of
business activity; but there are no
longer any monetary obstacles to the
growth of trade, and confidence in
the financial outlook is steadily in
creasing. Speculation is compara
tively inactive, and the smaller per
centages of decline in bank clearings
and in railroad earnings reported in
rec-nt weeks indicate an improve
ment in legitimate trade. The fail
ures of the week have been 'Mi in
the United States, against 20.") last
year, and thirty-six in Canada,
against thirty-live last year. Be'
sides one bank in Ohio and theThur-ber-Whyland

ooit, and sixty-eight others over
.YoM. The volume ef indebtedness
of firms failing the previous week
was $:.727.4t'.7. against :.4ii7,olt
the wee'k before, being larger e-ast
than south.
Cotton prices have declined Il-lOof
a cent per pound, owin
to the con-
tinned free movement of the crop
from the South, and accumulating
stocks. The ste-ady elownward ten-dotu-y
of prices indicates the general
disbelief in short crop estimates.
Spinners' takings were larger last
week than in the corresponding week
last 3'ear: but for the season have
been JKJ.ooo bales less than the'- were
a year ago. Exports in five elavs of
last wei-k have boe-n en!y half as
lurr
is thi'3" were during' the corre
sponding period last year: but com
parisons for the season since Septem-
ber 1 show a slight increase over the
totals for last year. Cotton goods
have been in fair demand: but the
j announcement that 10.000 packages,
or about M..HNUNMI worm, will
offered at auction in New York this
wee
1c shows .that the reduction 01
! stocks during the re-cent period of
j restricted output has not made sat- j
! isfactoiw progress. The forced sale
j is probabh' the application on a largo
i scale of the usual trade policy tf
I closing out stx-ks in hand at the
e-lose of the manufacturing -ear.
Prices of wheat are 21 to cents
per bushel lower than then- were a
wee'k ago. The persistent shrinkage
of values is the result of stoadih- ac
e utnulating stin ks and continueel in
difference on the part of foreign
buvers. Cable advice's to grain
houses in this county- state that ten
ders of Russian and East Indian
wheat have been made in London for
delive ry next spring on a basis of
present prices. WefkH" exports
from this count ly continue to fail be
low those of the correspoiuling period
last year: and Western receipts, al
though slightly smaller than then
were a year ago. are still averaging
over 0.000.000 buslu-ls per week.
The movement continues relatiwly
small from winter wheat districts,
where the tendency to feeel to cattle
