Let us hope 'not, Always deliriously delightful to her iiilmlrers, surely often delightfully de lirious to herself, this effervescent creature floated, on gausy wings, to a freedom undreamed of before she hurst from the chrysalis which for lines had prisoned her sex. She "took her own wherever she found It” with mi abandon which made her a Joy to tlie beholder. Sturdy of purpose, quick in her uptake, brilliantly charm Inn and altogether worth while—can it be possible that all her captivating outward seeming was just'an enamel which lild an «wful aching for a Mr. Bowser and the twins? ^ is all her devotion to art and scleucu but the feverish attempt to forget the cruelly withheld satisfaction of darning Johnnie's stockings?

PRESIDENT JORDAN’S NOBLE OPPORTUNITY. It should lie said In Justice to President Harvle Jordan that he lias announced in his own paper his intention to retire from the Southern Cotton Association at the close of his present term. This Is his voluntary determination uninfluenced by clamor, and not a forced retirement under any firs of criticism -or opposition. He can retire with dignity and distinction. The point which The Georgian makes Is that the Southern Cotton Association Is now In such a crisis that every Instinct of loyalty to that great body would appeal to Mr. Jordan to try the effect of an Immediate reorganization, and to enlist the inspiration that would come from a new deal all around, with new men and new methods. We feci the greater assurance In making this suggestion because we happen to know that it represents the wish and opinion of a great many. If not a majority, of the cotton growers themselves. Within the week The Georgian has talked with a number of the leading members, private and official, and we are prepared to Say upon authority that in the general sentiment of the cotton growers. President Jordan could do no wiser and greater thing than to rise to this height of sacrifice, and generously give way to the new deal with all the possibili ty that It carries of reorganization, and rebirth. It would commend the retiring president to the affectionate respect and admiration of the entire body and they would hold him gratefully and lastingly for this high and manly expression of his real love for the body that has so long and so signally honored him. President Jordan knows, or he ought to know, that there Is no per sonal animus against him In this suggestion. He knows that we cherish no sullen memories of any earlier controversy, but that our entire mottvo and our whole heart Ilea In saving the Southern Cotton Association from disaster and in promoting Its highest welfare and its greatest possible usefulness. We shall be among the first to eulogize the unselfishness and devo tion which can be spelled In Mr. Jordan's immediate withdrawal, and we faithfully promise to do our part iu making clear to the public the high and generous spirit that would be manifested in such a sacrifice. But above all things the association! Its Hie and uselulness are at stake, and It Is too great to be sacrificed to anything or to anybody. Its membership are anxious for this change, and none more anxious than those who are loyal and devoted friends of President Jordan and Secre tary Cheatham. Here is an opportunity for a great big act worthy of a great big mau. We trust that President Jordan will rise to it. M'OARREN AND OTHER TRAITORS. Nothing could be more appropriate than the action of the Democrat ic state committee In New York In putting the stamp of treason upon Patrick McCarren, of Brooklyn, for his direct apostesy to the format nominee of the Democratic convention In which he participated at Buffalo. McCarren was a traitor to his party after he had submitted his own cause to the action of the party convention. I(o betraypd his party not from principle, but from persoual prejudice and most of all, perhaps, from the dictation of the corporate bodies who controlled him. It is a bold piece of Impudence In McCarren to think that after this conduct he can be permitted to remain In good standing In the ranks of his party nnd to continue to act as It* controll ing head and director In the borough of Brooklyn. If McCarren In tho beginning had declared that he would not abide by the. result of the Buffalo convention after It had nominated Heafat, he might have been put out of the convention In the beginning and Its proceedings would have been unembarrassed by his revolt. But, after formally, entering upon that situation and endeavoring to carry things to suit himself and to suit his bosses, be Is just a plain, simple traitor to hii party-ties and td-bls own good faith when ho devoted himself as he did io a vindictive Warfare against his nominee and nominee of bis party ftor governor. It Is to be hoped that the Democratic state committee will not re lent In any particular and that McCarren may be driven where the com mittee very properly has decided lie belongs—to the Republican party. The actloq of the Committee Is along n wholesome and proper line, and what ha* boon done to McCarren aught to be done to McClellan aad the rest of the gsng who vented their animosity and their vindictive spite in knifing the head of the ticket of the party to which they professed al legiance and In whose Convention they sought the triumph of their own plans and policies. McClellan Is as much of n traitor as McCarren, and so Is Belmont and the rest of them, nnd tho Democratic party which mhkes an exam ple of McCarren should not fall to extend the discipline' to the even larger and more prominent traitors who have been (Wise to the party and false to tho obligations Involved in their own presence at the state con vention at Buffalo, The fact Is that the Democratic party needs nothing so much at this lime as the winnowing out of the men of tho McClollan. Belmont, McCarren and Parker stripe—men who have not a sympathy or a belief in common with the real Democratic principle*—men who simply hang to the name because of tradition and of the power of association, and, perhaps, because of n more Interesting motive, but who nt the same time !>oth preach and practloe doctrines that are distinctly 1ti accord with the later day principles of the Republican party. There are just simply thousan'ds of Democrats North cud South who naturally belong in the Republican party and who ought to go there ami go quickly, and we are In favor of lending them encouragement to go. Because we know that when they are Bafely landed in the organi zation in which they belong, that the Democratic party will receive an ac cession from the ranks of the Lincoln Republicans and the real Americana that will double it it does not quadruple in number the defection caused by the withdrawal of these corporation Democrats. ' The hope of the Democratic party rests upon this policy. enrolled by Colonel Mann. Meanwhile, this conclusive state ment of Dr. Girdner so completely contradicts Colonel Mann's positive statement, and so amply sustains Mr. Watson, that one can only apply to Colonel Mann the principle 'so well known and so thoroughly accepted "falsus in uno falsus in omnibus," nnd discredit other statements of one who Is responsible for Town Topics ard Fads and Fancies. I ill A: the <■li.ii FAMILY COUNCIL By PAUL BLOCK Nooks and Corners of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. COLONEL WILLIAM WASHINGTON. Watson, Girdner and Mann. In the controversy between Colonel Mann, of Town Topics, and Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, we take It for granted that there are few people who, even If they do not like Mr. Watson, would be Incliued from tbe record to have any faith In Colo nel Mann. Tbe people of Georgia are a read ing people and they doubtless recall the history of Colonel Mann, not only in Town Topics, but In that more monstrous publication known as Fads and Fancies, and those who have kept up with the current of events are not likely to believe Colo nel Mann in any matter that coucerns either himself or anybody else. Here, tor Instance, Is tbe statement of Colonel Mann that Mr. Watson is responsible for the withdrawal of Dr. Girdner from Tbe Watson Magazine, and the Intimation that Dr. Glrdner's withdrawal was a direct result or his dissatisfaction with Mr. Watson's policy of tbe magazine. This state ment -Mr. Watson denied promptly, and those who know Mr. Watson and those who do nut, will doubtless be In terested In the statement of the third party at luterest, and this, fortunately, is at haud aud is absolutely conclusive as to the Issue at stake. The follow- Watson from Dr. Girdner under the date attached: "November 4, 1906. "Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson, Gr. "My Dear Mr. Watson: I have just read an editorial In Wat son’s Magazine for November which contains the following sen tence: •' 'Then Mr. Watson began a campaign to oust Dr. Glrduer, who Immediately resigned when he saw tbe drift of Wat8ou's en- . deavors.' In justice to you and myself I write to say that If you . ever tried to 'oust' me I was never aware of It. i resigned the poii- eitten of aeeociate editor because my salary had not besn paid for several months, and from the methode of the company and the report of Its treasurer I did not think it was likely to be paid in future. Very truly yours. "JOHN H. GIRDNER. Of course nothlug further needs to be said after this letter. It settles the question that Mr. Watson was never less than loyal to Dr. Girdner, through Whose influence and Instrumentality he became connected with tbe maga zine. It is also evident from Dr. Glrd ner's own statement that he resigned his position because of tbe failure of Mann and his management to pay his salary as they failed to pay Mr. Watson's salary, and because of Dr ins letter has been received by Mr. Glrdner's disapproval of the methods There are a great many men In this world whose reputation would be much less than it is bdt for the ancestral glamour in tbe light and glory of which they bask. Colonel William Waehington does not come In under this rule. He was not related to "The Father of Ills Country,” or, It so, the relationship was so dls tant he made no claims upon it. The olonnl't success was self-achieved, won by personal merit without any help from the "pull" that comes from high social Connections. Like his more famous fellow coun tryman and namesake. Colonel Wash ington was a Virginian' of the Vir ginians, and, like that greater one, he was tall of Stature, of an imposing presence and a leader by Inborn right. Of Colonel Washington It may be said that he was the "Phil" Sheridan or “Jeb" Stuart of the Revolution. He was the greatest cavalryman of his age, nnd in many ways brings to out- minds those brilliant rider* of the civil war. Wasldngton originated the Idea of mounted Infantry," of sending fighters from point to point on horseback and then dismounting them to act as foot soldiers. He also irstltuted the "raid"—the quick dash Into or around the enemy's lines. Long before "Jeb” Stuart made his famous circuit of McClellan's army during the "Seven Days," long before the great "Stoneman Raid." long be fore Custer, Dahtgren und Sheridan galloped themselves into fame. Colonel Washington he'd thought of their tuc- tlcs and put them Into successful prac tice. In the winter of 1781, while Corn wallis was on his way from the Caro lina* to Yorktown, t lie gallant colonel swooped down upon him, captured two hundred and fifty of his redcoats, se cured valuable papers, nnd got back to headquarters with scarcely the loss of man. Like Stuart, like Sheridan, like Cus ter and Forrest, Washington was al ways at the front, asked his men not to "go,” but to "come,” himself In the lead. On many a field were his pluck and skill demonstrated to perfection, but It was nt the battle of the Cowpens that his star reached Its highest point. Flake calls the Cowpens "the most brilliant battle, of the war for Inde pendence," and It is not much to ray that no man Is more deserving of be ing called the hero of that celebrated fight than Colonel Washington. Commanding the British forces dt the Cowpens was Tarleton—the "ter rible Tarleton'—whose skill, courage and brutality had made hi* name the synonym of all that was to be feared und detested. Against Tarleton Morgan pitted his Continentals and militia, holding Washington and his rough riders In the rear as a reserve. Doing better than he had counted on, Morgan at the right time gave Washington the word to pitch In, and the gallnnt Virginian clr. cled around the British flag, got Into their rear and made short work of them. Riding over everything before him, he came upon Tarleton himself, whom hr engnged In personal combat. The colonel's mighty right arm was about to deal the "Terrible" the sword thrust that would have forever ended his bru tal career, when a redcoat warded off the blow, thus saving the Britisher's life. The Cowpens led logically on to Yorktown and Independence, und pres ent at the glorious day In Tidewater Virginia was the dashing rider who, .with his fearless troopers, had done so much to bring about the happy result. School Marin's Discovery. Mis* Evans, of Banks, Fa., school teacher, believes she lms solved the problem of drowsiness in school chil dren after the noon hour. For some time she noticed this, and .then began to do n little experimenting. Accord ingly, at 3 p. m. of the introductory day she explained to hei 1 pupils that she would permit them to tnke a nap of ten minutes, in hopes that It would brighten and enliven them to more vig orous work. The announcement was received with broad smiles, indicative of Inexpressible delight. "Now, children, the signal to take a nap will be ‘Heads down!' and I want each of you to place your head on your desk and not raise it until I call. Heads up!’" said the teacher. The first experiment worked like magic, ami the delight of the teacher was boundless, and visions of great fame loomed before her. With the nap over, the pupils resumed their studies with renewed vigor, und mastered their work in a manner that was amaxlng. She Imparted the secret,to other teach ers, und all are favorably Impressed with the Idea, but fear to put tt Into execution until officially sanctioned. It has set malty of the pedlgogues thinking, and the subject will be dis cussed In the near future at the local Institute, und will no doubt eventually reach the county Institute. Bought the Bride’s Parents. quart of whisky nnd a pair of shoes for his prospective father-in-law hnd a new hat for his future mother- in-law were sufficient fur H. A. Scott, of Randolph county, W. Vi, to over come their obJecUou to his marrying their daughter. When Scott and Miss Virginia A. Smith, of Tucker county, appeared at Parsons and asked for u lirense to wed tt was found that tile girl was under oge and needed her pa rents' consent. About this time the parents appeared on the scene and ob jected to the clerk issuing the license until Scott changed their minds by the methods described. After making the purchases Scott found he had not enough money left to pay for the li cense. The court attaches promptly supplied the deficiency, and also gave Scott enough for a fee for the minister who united him to his bride. "Hut suppose that he really should commit suicide." said a lady with heavy diamond pendant In her ears, offering her neighbor a dish of veni son. I laid down my paper. The tables In the restaurant were so close to gether that it was Impossible not to hear almost every word of what one's nearest neighbor said. When the three stout gentlemen and the stout lady had .passed by my ta. ble I happened to look up. They were evidently people of the middle class and were very well-to-do, and from their resemblance I know that they were brothers and sister. They did not interest me, however, and* 1 had paid no further attention to them, un til I heard these words which Im pressed me so much more os their or der to the waiter did not seem to show that they had any serious matter to discuss. “First, we want oysters—yes, we do want oysters, when I come to Berlin, and that doesn't happen very often, I want to eat oysters, no matter whether you like It or not. Then we want— what do you, say—you would rather have salmon? After the oysters? Xo, I never heard of such a thing. Well, of course, you con have salmon If -you want It. the lest of us will tnke as paragus on toast und ' then wc want roost venison—it Is a wonder you have no objection to that. And then— "Let us begin to eat that first,” In terrupted one of the others, "the wait er will otherwise never remember all we -order.” "Well, he might put it down. Why do you suppose he carries a pencil? But don’t get nervous, children. When Income to Berlin, I want to—” "Oh, you can tell us what you want some other time. Now we want to know what, we are to drink;” 'Oh. I suggest that we begin with a good Burgundy, you, Emil, select one, that is your business.” The waiter Had gone and come a good many times. It was surprising what these people could consume. In fact, their voracity rather disgusted me so much that I never once looked their way until I heard these words about suicide. I looked at the lady. Her features seemed to show that she was a very good-natured lady. Maybe she had not meant anything when she spoke about suicide. But the gentle- nr.sn on her left, who, “when he came to Berlin,” proved to me that she did. Swallowing on enormous mouthful of venison and washing It down with a copious draught ot champagne, he be gan to talk again. “Well, suppose it Is so. I have let ters from him In which he has de clared at least ten times that he was going to shoot himself, but he Is still living, and living so well that he has run Into debt for another ten thous and. Now, I ask you Is this to go on fprever? No. Margaret, you have called mo to Berlin, which Is not very pleas ant at this busy season, but when I came to Berlin I want to be allowed to say Just what I mean. Our good -Wal ter—" y "Don't speak so loud,” whispered the lady ut his side, and pointed toward my table. He did not seem to pay nny attention to hpr, but swallowed another big goblet of champagne and contin ued: "Well, there is no doubt ubout 1L Walter is a good-for-nothing, nnd it is about time we made him understand that lie Is at the end of his rope. I urn not a miser, and I like to sec a young man enjoy himself, even if I have to pay for it, but there Is a limit. He is not going to get another penny from me.” "Is the champagne any good?” asked Emil, "Excellent, I must say. 'You certain ly understand your business. And to think that I hare never tasted this brand. But to come back to business, what do you soy about It." "I, dear brother.” replied Emil, "agree with you in oil that you have said, but still I think that we have a certain responsibility and certain du ties toward him. You, Karl, we forced him to give up studying and ail of us gave him money to start up In business. That he did not look after his business, Is very true, but how could you expect a former student to take any Interest in such prossalc af fairs? Then you must remember that he Is married—'' "Let me say a word,” Interrupted Margaret. "I do not agree with you ut all, that he Id married—what does the waiter want now? Oh. dessert. Well, I want some pineapple? It Is his wife who has made him altogether crasw for everybody.” "And the wife?" Interrupted Mar garet, munefng her pineapple. "Of course, his wife must follow h It Is lucky that there are no chil dren." "There are not? Are you quite sun Maybe that Is not so any longer." Brother Theodore .-truck the table a resounding blow with his fist. "Wlint do you mean to say? Well, children, there is no getting out of this: but I tell you one thing: I will not give more than S60.000, not one penny. How Is It, Emil? If I remember right, you have some of my money 111 your business. Suppose that you puy my part of this affair with that. It might not be quite convenient to you, but when I come to Berlin, and that doesn’t happen very often—" Brother Emil was protesting ener getically, "but my dear brother, that Is outrageous. I cannot do it. I simply cannot do it.” Brother Theodore ordered the coffee, and while they were consuming this stimulant they seempd to reach agreement, but they were talking rath er softly, so that I did not hear any thing until Brother Theodore said: •Well, then, It Is all settled. I am going to speak id him and have a look at his wife. Judging from the picture she is quite pretty. I think they will be very happy when they get over there." They were all four exceedingly hap py when they passed by my table to ward the door. They had done good work, nnd at the same time eaten good dinner. I hope that Walter and his family will be just as happy in America. SING MORE, SIGH LESS. hart tlie misfortune to'lone all her Naturally there come many dark days nnd sorrow in her heart. The future looked gloomy nnd unpromising, nnd the present wan full of a great dread.

Next morning wns dark and dreary, and It took all her courage to sing, but she puckered up her lips anil snug u Jolly old song. Then she went down to her breakfast nnd somehow the words nnd the music clung to her mind nil day. She kept this thing up for months, and to her surprise she found her outlook on the future brighter while every dny found some glint of good cheer In It. The years have rolled rouud!

"Yes, times were bad for us then, and now times are bod for him. I do not Intend, to say that I think he is an ungel, but he cannot help fit that he is the way he is.

"That country or that section which can produce Iron at the lowest cost will dominate the trade and commerce of tlie world" was ene of the well- founded theories of the late Edward Atkinson, and on this he based one of Ills arguments in favor of the marvel ous wealth of the South In coming years. The South holds this vantage ground. It can produce Iron at a low er cost than any other country, und it is destined, as Mr. Abram S.
