The order of General Smith
"to make Samar a howling wil
derness," and to kill every male
above ten yean of age has indeed
no parallel since the days of
Herod, bnt it is not tlie only
brutality known in the annals of
American warfare. Here is an
order issued on October 29th,
1864, by General W. T. Sherman
which may have served as a mild
model for Smith:
"Headquarters Military Divis
ion of the Mississippi, in the
Field, Rome, Ga„ October 29,
1864—Brig.-Gen. Watkins, Cal
houn Ga.: Can you not send
oyer about Fairmount and Adairs
villc, born ten or twelve houses
of known secessionists, kill a few
at random and let them know
that it will be repeated every
time a train is fired on from
Ressca to Kingston.
"W. T. Shxhman,
"Major-General Commanding.’’
That order is printed In the
war record, serial volume No.
79 page 494.
On October 19, 1864, General
Sherman wrote to General James
H. Wilson frptn Summerville,
Ga.: "lam going into the very
bowels of the Confederacy and
propose to leave a trail that will
bcjccoguiscd fifty years hence.”
To Colonel A. Beckwith he
wrote of the same date: ”1 pro
pose to abandon Atlanta and the
railroad back to Chattanooga and
sally forth to ruin Georgia and
bring up on the seashore.”
To General Grant he wrote on
that date: "I am perfecting ar
rangements * * * to break
up the railroad in front of Dal
ton, including the city of Atlan
ta, and ^nah Into Georgia, break
UP all its railroad ana depots,
capture its horses and negroes
«nd make desolation every

A good merchant will count
his money and balance his cash
at the close of every day. It is
a good 'plan for everybody to re
view the day’s work ana coast
up the good of it sad the bad of
it. Give the Lord credit for all
the blessing* enjoyed, not for
getting health and food . and
raiment, snnshine and shower,
good neighbors and good schools
and liberty- of conscience.
These are capital stock and do
not vary much with the passing
day*. But in every one’s daily
life and in our daily business
there is an ever changing multi
tude of little things—little
pleasure* and little pains and
these should be footed up and
balanced. What good have 1
done, what pleasure have 1 re
ceived and given to others to
day (should be a question every
night. For as the Doet saith:
"Lost” is a sad word—one day
lost shortens life that much, but
how many people lose almost
every day. No charity, no
kind words or pleasant smiles
—no sympathy for the poor,
bat go along through life for
themselves only, or perhaps
muttering that selfish prayer,
"Lord bless me and my wife—
my sou John and his wife, us
fonr and no more.” I verily be
lieve that selfishness is the most
universal sin of mankindi How
is it possible for a very rich
man to covet more when there
are thousands near him who
live and languish in misery and
want, 1 cannot understand. It
was a sweet lady who wrote the
"Emigrants' Lament” and said:
. These millionaires deserve
little credit for their gifts to
colleges and libraries, while the
poor are starving in the great
cities and are penned np in
garrets and hovels and earning
a scanty living by working for
the rich. 1 was niminating
about this when 1 read that Mr.
Holderby, that consecrated
minister in Atlanta, was getting
up an ice fund for the poor.
What a blessing that will be to
the tiled toilers who can only
afford the tepid water that comes
from the city hydrants. How
refreshing to the sick who lan
guish on nard beds and have no
comforts that the rich enjoy.
The poor we have always with
us and most of them will suffer
rather than beg. Mr. Holderby
is always doing good and can
balance his books every night
and lie down to pleasant dreams.
Education is a good thing and
we are gratified at the recent
movementa of northern philan
thropists. but a movement to
lift up the poor and give them
a chance would be a more blessed
thing than to educate them in
dooks. rctcr cooper and
George Peabody have a higher
seat in heaven than Rockefeller
and Carnegie will ever reach.
George Peabody built whole
blocks of tenant booses in Lon
don for the poor. The rooms
were all ventilated and supplied
with pure cold water and the
windows looked out upon grassy
lawns and flowers and shade
trees. There were bath rooms
attached to every tenement, and
a few pretty cbromos on the
walla and the rent charged was
only a pittance—enough to make
repairs and pay the taxes. This
was doing more for the poor
, than education could do.
A clean shirt and a com
fortable home will lift a boy up
quicker than books; It has
been said that a right hungry
man can’t get religion, and I reck
on a hungry child cannot study
to do mnch good. Education is
not always had in the schools.
It is the life work of every one.
Education comes by contact, by
absorption from others, by read
ing and thinking, and by ex
perience and observation. Some
of the greatest men in the
United States never had a year’s
schooling; and my own obser
vation has been that not more
than tan college boys in a
hundred made good use of their
education. They lived and died
sod made no sign. But for the
sake of the tan we must give
the ninety • chance. These
northern gentlemen who met In
Athens seem intensely in ear
nest and theft speeches were in
rood tone and in good temper.
Judge Bleckley’s speech wae
the shortest and beat of all.
"We will receive it not as a
charity, but as a measure of
justice,’’ and Mr. Baldwin said,
"Yea, that’s it, justice," end 1
suppose implied that they owed
us a debt and were going to pay
it. That came pretty near being
an apology. Well, just let them
shell oat the money and we will
dispense with the apology.
This morning I had a back
scat. The old mare got into my
garden and tramped around ana
wallowed in three places—on
my strawberry bed and on my
smiasb bed and onion bed.
Digging wouldn't pacify me. It
didn’t let my choler down. 1
will act that down at one hundred
on the debt side. But my
daughter, who went to Charleston
and hsd a two weeks' vacation
from the care of her children,
returned safe and happy and
refreshed. 1 set that clown at
one hundred to balance off the
old more's trespass on my
garden. Another married daugh
ter, who had been sick for a
month, has recovered and
now take up her bed and walk.
She came up to spend the day
and brought her children. Put
that down at two hundred. A
dear sister who lives at College
Park is coming to sec us to
morrow. That news is worth a
credit of fifty. The mail has
brought good, cheerful letters
from two of the far-away boys.
That is worth fifty. A good
neighbor sent me some fine to
mato plants; that is twenty-five;
»uu 11 is worm iwenry-nve to
look at my strawberry garden,
and 1 look several times a day.
A visiting frieud said it was
worth twenty-five a day to sec
the long trains go by with their
double engines. I can sit on my
veranda and count the cars,
from forty to sixty on every train,
and not strain my mind. Every
evening after school is out s
dozen or more children' gather
in my lawn under the big oak
trees and play tennis and hide
and seek, and romp and swing,
and it is worth twenty-five to see
them so happy.
There are three roses in bloom
this morning, the first of the
spring, and that is worth ten.
Then again I read Father
Keiley's memorial speech in Sa
vannah, and it comforted me to
find one man bold enough to tell
the tvro highest officials fn the
nation what they had done and
what he thought of them. 1 will
pnt that speech and the pleasure
of reading it at one hundred.
From the window where I write
I can see the workmen raising
the beautiful Corinthian caps to
to the tops of the tall majestic
marble columns of the new court
house. The building grows in
to beauty every day and I am
proud of it even though it will
cost me a little more tax money,
I put down the daily sight of it
at ten. Then there are ray
strawberry vines loaded with
ripening fruit. I will put them
down again. One of our boys
wrote me that be was
coming home to see ns, but
I must promise not to take
hhn to see the strawberries more,
than seven times a day.

. Dr. A. Y. Cartwright ntnal
iaat Thursday from a three
weeks’ visit to Texas, and re
ports a delightful time of it His
visit was for the most part to
Grayson county, up next to tbs
Indian territory; but he went
entirely through the state south
to Galveston, and made several
ride trips out. Ha talks inter
estingly about the country, es
pecially shout Grayson county,
which he thinks is the moat
nrosperon* agricultural country
he has ever seen. They raise
cotton, corn, oats, wheat and al
most everything else they want
to raise and they make big crops
with much less work than is re
uuied in this country.. The
farms are small, ranging from 25
to 100 acres. It looks, however,
as if the whole country is under
the highest possible state of cul
tivation.
i m people uve goo a houses
and a moat admirable system of
roads. The roads are nnmerons:
but no one ever thinks of requir
ing detailed instructions aa to
how to go from one point to
another. All that is necessary
is to have the destination pointed
out, some 12 or 15 miles away,
and after a start in that general
direction the traveler continues
in easy view of both the point
from which he is traveling and
the point to which be desires to
go.
There arc no Negroes in North
Texas, Dr. Cartwright saya. la
many of the towns he observed
signs reading like this: "Nig
ger, don’t atop overnight. Keep
a traveling." He was advised
that when a Negro happened to
land in one ot these towns, a
citizen would approach him with
advice like this: "Leave here;
leave to-day; don’t wait until
night, and don't walk; go on the
tram." The people say that
most of them came west to get
rid of the Negro and they are
going to stay nd of him.
Another noticeable feature that
Dr. Cartwright noticed, was the
heavy forest growth to be seen
throughout Grayson county.
Forty years ago the country was
covered with prairie. Now there
are extensive growths of pecan,
oeoge orange, oaks and other
trees, many of which are two
feet through. The forests are
of volunteer growth. They be
gan on the water courses and
followed dry valleys into the in
terior, spreading out on either
side and covering the country.
"But when I got back," con
cluded Dr. Cartwright, "I told
my wife, whet I believe to be a
fact, there is no country on
earth like old York county. I
would not leave York for any
country in the world-”

Although no ftua h«« been
made about it, it ia a fact that
the Clover Manufacturing com
pany has just finished putting
about $10,000 worth of new up
to-date machinery in the old
part of the mill, and with thia
latest improvement the plant is
made practically new all over.
Aa Is well-known it has always
been the policy of the company
to make changes in the map
chinerv whenever satisfied that
either quantity or quality could
be improved by doing so,
provided the change could be
effected without calling on the
stockholders to put np the
necessary money. The new
machinery ia to be paid for out
of this year's profits, and the
usual liberal dividend will also
be paid in cash. It Is salt to
any that no cotton manufacturing
concern anywhere is in better
shape physically and financially
than is the Clover Manufacturing
company. The company has
recently completed ten hand
