Uncle Jonathan Noreross’ respectable
white Republican party is very select. It
is likewise very “few.”
Fort W orth, Texas, is getting all the
conventions, and the other cities of the
State are fairly green with envy.
The prize fighters are getting the start
of the base bailers this season, but the
latter will make up Tor their tardiness on
the “home run.”
Gen. Butler can get a Presidential
nomination if he wants it—from the
woman suffragists. That would probably
lie better than no boom at all.
King Alfonso has lieon unusually quiet
for several weeks. The Republicans in
Spain must have put him to meditating
on the uncertainty of human eveifts.
It is reported that arrangements are
being made to carry New Hampshire for
Arthur, in other words, to snatch it right
out from between Blaine and Edmunds.
The l.asker incident has passed, and
Thomas Ochiltree has “passed out” of the
great bluff game. He threw away a
pretty good hand. Even Finerty would
have played it more boldly.
Gen. Sherman has again put himself in
line with all the other Presidential aspi
rants by positively asserting that he is
not a candidate. It seems to be the
fashion to talk that way this year.
The Rhode Island Democrats are going
to try a lresli Sugar. If it don’t go well
they had better let smoking alone in the
future. Even cigarettes came near kill
ing old Senator Anthony, of that State.
Bismarck’s crowning invasion of the
freedom of the press is said to be the
sending of detectives into the reporters’
gallery of the Reichstag. Is be afraid
they will smuggle in pig’s flesh in their

The Blaine machine in Pennsylvania is
working away with a regularity that is
likely to win the prize in that state.
Nevertheless the President’s harvester Is

Tim first schooner load of fresh mack
erel of the season arrived in New York
Monday. They were 40,000 in number,
and are said to be one week earlier than
ever known before. They averaged only
five ounces each in weight.
it seems that the whisky ring is about
to make a combination with the protec
tionists. That has rather a queer look.
Some good protection journals have been
charging all along that the whisky ring
and tariff reformers were in league.
Minister Sargent concluded that he
would find it more pleasant at St. Peters
burg than at Berlin. He has been ap
pointed and confirmed f>r the St. Peters
burg mission. It is probable that both
Bismarck and Sargent will lie happier
on account of the change.
About the only man who has achieved
greatness in Washington this season is
the White House cook. He is said to be
the very best in the city, and he receives
a salary of sl,soo a year. He has not
caused a> much comment as Tom Ochil
tree. but bis reputation stands on the sub
stantial foundation of merit.
Congressman Ellis, of Louisiana, is
talking about sueing the New York Sun
for $50,000 damages (or libel in charging
him with having l>een criminally con
nected with the star route contracts.
“The Sun shines for all,” and why should
it not shine a few thousand dollars worth
for Ellis if it has soiled hm reputation?
The Logan men have obtained.control
of the arrangements for the Republican
Convention in Chicago, and want to pro
vide room in the exposition hall for 20,000
people, about two-thirds of whom are ex
pected to be Logan howlers. The friends
of the other candidates are very sad, but
don’t seem to know exactly what to do
about it.
Now it is given out that Wm. Pitt
Kellogg is anxious to Ik* tried. When the
government once finds out that he is really
the Kellogg that is charged with star
route rascality perhaps his request will
be complied with. It wouldn’t look
patriotic, however, just now to start the
case and prevent so important a delegate,
from visiting the Chicago Republican
Convention.
The press in different quarters is iie
couung curious to know if Gen. Logan is
really going to write a book about his
gallant conduct in the w r ar. It is hoped
that the work, if written, will give some
information as to how the General stood
on the secession question in 1861. It is
leared by some that he will not be as
manly as the Southern Brigadiers in
owning up as to his location about that
time.
The President has invited very nearly
all the Senators and Representatives to
dinner during the present session. All
who have not yet been invited no doubt
will be, with the possible exception o<
Mr. O’Hara. He is the colored member
from North Carolina. Can the President
afford to ignore him ? To do so might cost
Mr. Arthur the North Carolina delegates
to Chicago. Probably Mr. O’Hara will be
invited at the same time Mr. Hoar is.
The third trial of Hallet Killiourn’s
suit against John G. Thompson for false
imprisonment terminated yesterday in a
verdict for Kilbourn for $37,500. Thomp
son, it will be remembered, was Sergeant
at-Arms ot the 40th Congress, and im
prisoned Kilbourn on the order of the
House for refusing to answer questions
asked him by an investigating committee.
Two previous verdicts obtained by Kil
bourn were set aside on motion of the
government as being excessive. The
amount of the verdict yesterday will
about pay Kilbourn’s lawyers.
The pedestal being erected on Hedloe’s
Island, in New York Bay, for the
Bartholdi statue is not progressing very
rapidly, but the estimates of its cost are
growing day by day. It was at first esti
mated that the pedestal could be built
and the statue placed in position for $250,-
000. The committee in charge of the work
has only succeeded iu raising $140,000
from all sources, and the work done so
far has cost $70,000. Now they say the
granite alone for the whole structure will
cost $280,000, the concrete $30,000 more,
.and the loying of the stone $OO,OOO, not to
mention other items of importance. The
great increase in the estimates is enough
to throw suspicion on the managers of the
affair, and contributions to complete the
work will not flow in if the idea gets
abroad that some big jobs are being work
ed out of the fund. The country will de
mand a clean showing in this business.
Senator Brown and the Blair Bill.
Senator Brown is on the right side of
the question whether Federal aid ought
to lie granted to education. His speech in
the Senate in support of the Blair bill, on
Tuesday, w ill tie read with very general
Interest in this State and throughout the
South. No man is better qualified to dis
cuss this educational measure uian he is.
While it applies to the whole country, tbe
South will receive the greatest benefit
from it. Senator Brown is a progressive
man, and he knows that illiteracy is an
obstacle in the way of a progressive
South. He wants that obstacle removed.
Every progressive Southern man wants it
removed. Illitetacy is a weight on any
community, and tends to drag it down to
a lower level. It breeds lawlessness and
immorality. It bars out immigration and
fills up the chain-gangs. M here the per
centage of illiteracy is greatest, there, as
a rule, are the rewest churches, the
poorest farms and the most thrift
less people. The greatest progress,
thrift and wealth are found where there
is the greatest amount of intelligence.
The assertion that the south is fully able
to educate her people is incorrect. She
is taxed as heavy as the North is, as
Senator Brown shows, but the percent
age o t her illiterate population does not
decrease. It is as much as she can do to
keep it lrorn increasing. The vvar
stripped her of her wealth, and left her
with millions of ignorant freedmen. In
the matter of education no distinction is
made between the white people and the
black. The white people contribute the
money which supports the schools for
both races, but their means are not suf
ficient to raise the mass of illiterate ne
groes to intelligent citizens. The govern
ment has a duty to perform. Tt is to pre
pare the negroes to exercise intelligently
the right of suffrage which it gave them.
This duty the government has neglected.
It has been urged that the government
has no constitutional power to grant aid
to common schools. Senator Brown,
who claims to !>e a strict constructionist,
argues that if tbe government has the
right to protect the negroes in their exer
cise of the ballot it has the right to pre
pare them to handle the ballot intelli
gently. The argument is sound. Senator
Sherman is opposed to the Blair bill. The
ground of his opposition may be, as stated
by Senator Vance, that “an ignorant
negro answers his purpose 1 letter than an
educated negro at the polls.” The negroes
have been led to believe that Sherman
was their friend. He is their friend so
long as he can make them useful to him.
The proposition to grant Federal aid to
education has been pretty thoroughly dis
cussed throughout the South, and it meets
general approval.
Connecticut ami Revenue Reform.
Ex-Gov. James E. English, of Connec
ticut. has surprised the protectionists by
coining out openly in favor of tariff re
form. It has been claimed that Connec
ticut is overwhelmingly for protection,
but there is strong and growing evidence
that this is an error. Gov. English is one
of the most prominent Democrats in his
State, and he has been frequently men
tioned as a probable Presidential candi
date. In a recent interview he said:
“The tariff isofnoearthly use to this State,
or any of the New England States. My
position, and that of every manufacturer
with whom 1 have talked, Republican or
Democrat, is that the need of the country
is the adoption of a policy which
l would formulate, like this; A moder
ate tariff which shall bring
to the country a sufficient revenue to meet
the current expenses ot the government,
and leave a small surplus to l>e applied to
the slow extinguishment of the national
debt.” He thinks the principal demand
for protection in the future will come from
the South and West and the iron indus
tries, biit he says the power of the iron
manufacturers is waning.
Gov. English asserts that so far as New
England is concerned iron and other met
als are practically on the free list now.
ships bringing them as ballast at such
low rates, frequently paying tor the priv
ilege, as to oflset the duty. He says the
Democratic party can win on the plat
form of revenue reform,and that the coun
try is ripe for it.
Gov. English has long been known as
one ot the shrewdest politicians and clos
est observers in New England. lie
doubtless knows what he is talking about
when he says the manufacturers even of
his section are not for protection.
Every day the evidence is increasing
that the people in all parts of the Union,
Pennsylvania perhaps, excepted, are en
thusiastic for revenue reform, and to none
can thov look except the Democratic
thirty to represent that principle in the
national contest. The question now is,
will the party be true to its principles
and have the courage of its convictions?
We believe it will.
Loaning Money on Georgia Farms.
The loan and trust companies of New
York. Philadelphia and other cities, where
money is plentiful at present, appear to
be putting out a good deal of money in this
State. Some of our country exchanges
mention the fact that large sums have
been loaned to tbe planters in their coun
ties. The rate of interest obtained is 4
I>er cent., which is a much lower rate than
planters can obtain money at from any
other source. If planters could replace
the 8 per cent, mortgages on their planta
tions by 4 jier cent, mortgages they would
be able to improve their financial affairs
very materially. Besides effecting a very
considerable saving, in the way of inter
est, they would f>e able to disjmsc of their
crops in whatever market offered them
the greatest inducements. The loan and
trust companies have, it is said, great con
fidence in tiie future of Georgia lands, and
they are, therefore, loaning amounts
oti them very nearly equal to their pres
ent value. The managers of these trust
companies are shrewd men and are quick
to see indications of improvement and
progress. If they were not thoroughly
satisfied that the time is not far distant
when Georgia lands will be worth much
more than they are now they would not
risk their money on them. The truth is,
farm lands in this State are being settled
up much more rapidly than the casual
observer would suppose. Immigrants
are coining in slowly, but every one is
almost always followed by others. Good
land can now be obtained in almost every
county at from one to five dollars an aere.
tn a few years, however, those who pur
chase farms in Georgia will have to pay
a great deal more for them than is asked
now. This is the belief of the loan and
trust companies, and they are, therefore,
loaning their money to farmers and
planters, confident that when they want it
"they will have no trouble in getting it.
A Word Aliont Jute.
In speaking of jute yesterday we ad
vised farmers not to undertake to raise a
crop of it until it was clearly demon
strated that a machine had been invented
that was capable of preparing it for mar
ket at a cost that would permit American
jute to compete with India jute in the
matter of price. We" also stated that the
best evidence that such a machine had
been perfected would be the presence of
bales of American-grown jute in the mar
ket. We gave this advice to those who are
thinking of growing a crop of jute, in
order that they might not suffer disap
pointment and loss, and, becoming dis
gusted, refuse to have anything to do
with the cultivation of jute
when it can be grown profitably.
It would be a good plan,
however, for farmers to plant a little jute
for seed and as an experiment, each year,
until a machine for extracting the fibre is
perfected. There is not much reason to
doubt that in a very little while a ma
chine will he invented that will meet
every expectation and make the jute‘crop
the most valuable that can be grown in
the South.
Tlie Wadkjr Memorial.
The statuette in clay of Col. IVauley,
which Mr. Robert Cushing, the sculptor,
has beeu for some time engaged upon in
this city, is now nearing completion.
While the work Is vet in a rough state,
but a mere sketch, so to speak, it is suffici
ently developed to show that it will be a
grand work, a worthy expression of the
feeling in which the memorial found its
origin.
The treatment of the head and faoe is <
especially successful. The high, broad
forehead, with the hair thrown back from
its wide expanse, and the firm mouth, are
well executed and in full accord with the
same features as shown in the bust, which
was so generally admired when on exhi
bition in the hall of the Georgia Histori
cal Society. The whole face wears an
expression characteristic of the dis
tinguished subject. Not grave nor gay. not
lively nor severe, it is stamped with that
air of thought which so strongly marked
Col. Wadley-s features when in repose.
The pose of the figure is dignified, yet
easy and natural. The modeling is free
and broad—indeed, unusually 6o for so
small a sketch. When such breadth is
shown in the small model the heroic must
certainly assume grand proportions in its
details, such as we may see in the finer
examples of European portrait sculpture,
with which Mr. Cushing seems to be
thoroughly conversant. The weight of
the body is thrown upon the left leg, the
right being advanced and somewhat bent.
On a short column at the left of the figure
lies a parchment scroll, partially unrolled,
upon which the left band rests, while the
right, hanging naturally by the side, holds
tbe hat In Col. Wadley’s well known
habitual way.
Many friends of Col. Wadley, who
have seen the work, are highly pleased
with the resemblance, even in its present
rough condition. It is to lie hoped that it
will, upon completion, 1m submitted to
the inspection ot tbe public. Mr. Cush
ing has had a difficult task to perform,
never having seen Col. Wadley, and
there being no full length portrait of him
in existence. It is easy enough to exe
cute an ideal work in sculpture, that
lieing largely a work of the imagination,
but portrait sculpture demands much
more, and allows but little latitude to
fancy or invention.

clares, why is that Republican organ so dis
turbed by the mere mention of the place by a

“If a lady really wishes to disguise herself
at a masked ball,” says London Truth, “she
must learn to speak in a falsetto voice; cover
herself up iu a domino with a hood coming
well over her face, into which the lace bottom
of the mask should be thrust; wear spec
tacles; alter her stature by either very high
heels or no heels; put on three or four pairs
of gloves; pad herself out if thin; and change
her habitual mode of walking. In Italy,
where masked balls are most frequented by
all, ladies alone who adopt all these rules
avoid detection,”
A correspondent writes from Paris: ‘'But
of all the balls the most curious are the beg
gars' balls. Notwithstanding the troubles
and trials they have to endure through the
dav, when evening comes they dance, and are
as happy and merry as though they were rich
and perfectly free. They have their halls,
and meet for pleasure three times a week;
and, contrary to the general belief, they are
reisirted to be exceedingly moderate iD eat

are well filled with pennies gathered during

HOW THE CHINESE AIM.
Not Civilized Enough to Know the Use
of Gun-Sights.
When the French troops made their first
and unsuccessful advance against Sontuy,
says the Japan Gazette , some importance
was attached by the special correspond
ents ol the English papers to the circum
stance that the Black Flags apparently
fired low. It was pointed out that most
of the bullet-wounds received by the
French soldiers were found in the legs and
lower parts of their bodies. Of course the
practice of firing low is one strongly urged
upon the troops, a shower of bullets be
ing much more effective if fired low, even
if it strikes tlie ground in front ol the ad
vancing hostile forces, than it would lie if
sent into tlie air over the heads of tlie ap
proaching enemy. But we heard a rather
interesting explanation of the reason why
the Black Flags and their allies fire low
expressed the other day by one who has
had a great amount of’ experience with
Chinese troops. He said that the bulk of
the Chinese had no idea of the use Of the
sights on the rifies, and it was almost use
less to attempt to teach them the use of
such contrivances. Thus, a Chinese sol
dier armed with a modern rifle would
never think of raising the sight of his
weapon when he was called upon to use
it, especially in the face of an enemy. He
would fire at an object six hundred yards
oft" with the sight down, the consequence
being that the muzzle of the rifle not re
ceiving the necessary elevation to carry
the bullet over a long distance, the ball
woukl strike or descend very close to the
ground before it reached its’ destination.
It was also asserted that some of the Chi
nese soldiers actually knocked the sights
off" their rifles as being entirely useless.
We need hardly to say that the Chinese
can never become effective soldiers until
they appreciate the value of sighting their
rifles; and the circumstances we have
narrated will go as future proof of the
miserable condition of the Chinese forces;
the supineness and incoinpetency of the
officers, and the ill-prepared state of Chi
nese armies to resist European troops.
THE PORTRAIT OF THE POPE.
Prying Reporters Tliwarting the Inten
tions of Archbishop Gibbons.
Hls Grace, Archbishop Gibbons, says a
Baltimore special to the New York World,
expressed some surprise when he saw by
the daily press that the portrait of Pope
Leo, presented through him to the Ameri
can Bishops, had been opened in New
York and had t*een submitted to the pry
ing and unhallowed gaze of a New York
reporter. He was a little disappointed,
as be had intended that the original cas
ing placed upon It iu Rome should not
have been disturbed until the assembling
of tbe Bishops here in November at the
opening of the great council.
The publication of a description of the
picture has aroused In this Catholic city
such an intense public desire to see it
that the Archbishop states that be sup
poses he will have to give way to public
opinion and place the painting in some
suitable spot where it can be viewed by
the public. It will then be carefully pre
served in his residence until the council
meets. Its final resting place will most
likely be in the Cathedral here,

NAVAL STORES.
Some Thoughts Applicable to this In*
dustry.
Guyton, Ga., March 22—As the first
of April is near at hand (the commence
ment of the new year in the turpentine
indnstry) perhaps a few words on this
subject will be read with interest, es
pecially by the manufacturers of spirits
and rosin. The demand for this product
has been so “great during the past three
years that prices reached figures that
v.ouid have been quite remunerative to
the producer if the cost of production
eoulJ have been kept down.
But the fancy prices caused so much
rivalry and competition among the manu
facturers that rents, labor and everything
pertaining to the cost of production reach
ed figures that swept away the imaginary
piotits. Hundreds ot men, totally inex
perienced in the details of the business,
excited by .the fabulous prices, invested
“their all,” soon to become rich. The older
factors, fearing the coming evil of over
production. would refuse this new busi
ness and advise their customers not to cut
many new boxes. This caused the open
ing of several new naval stores commission
houses and a competition among the com
mission merchants, and money was ad
vanced with much liberality.
The new operators, knowing their in
competency, would hire most any man
that came along and tell him that he knew
all about turpentine and could control
fifty or sixty hands. A bargain is made,
this new woodsman being paid hand
somely for his knowledge and influence,
and money is advanced to pay expenses
of hands." Said woodsman" then repairs
to the farm of some old operator, informs
the hands of thebonanzi he has struck,
treats them to drinks, tells them that his
man is going to pay l%c. per box for cut
ting, cuts a smaller box, and pays off every
Saturday night, and that he will pay their
way to the new place. The darkey does
not hesitate long, as he is probably in
debted to his present employer, aud leaves
without notice and generally at night.
The smile of satisfaction is quite appa
rent on the n%.v operator’s face when he
sees bis man approaching with his host of
hands; but bis countenance changes just
a little when his woodsman taps him on
his shoulder, takes him aside, and informs
him that he will be obliged to pay 1%
cents per box for cutting, as that is the
price that everybody is going to pay—and,
of course, it is agreed that 1)4 cents per
box is to be the price. The producer from
whom the bands has been taken is obliged
to offer some inducement to replace his
hands, and several such repetitions causes
much disturbance and excitement among
the laborers on the different farms.
The work done on these new
places has been generally miserable, and
when old operators would try to have
their work done right the hands would
leave, so that a tendency soon prevailed
to take any kind of work and give as
much for it as anbyody else.
The high prices, too, have been very de
moralizing to the laborers, as the more
industrious ot them could make eight or
ten dollars by working two or three days
in the week. As soon as this is made
they stop work and induce all others that
they can influence to stop also, and con
tend for the ownership of the week’s work
by a game of cards, and work is generally
done for that week.
The continued low prices of spirits and
rosin have forced many operators out of
the business, and those remaining have
been forced to curtail their business and
reduce their labor, so that work is done
now much more satisfactorily and cheaper.
Prior to 1881 there was only enough
rosin and spirits made to about meet the
demand, but the high prices paid that
year caused a large number of boxes to be
cut for 1882, and the continued high prices
caused more boxes to be cut for 1883 than
was ever before known. Not only were
these new boxes worked, but also "all the
old boxes that had been abandoned for
years. But how is it for 1884? Every
thing has taken quite a different aspect.
Only about one-third as many boxes have
been cut this season as there were last,
and only such old boxes worked as are
near and convenient. The result will be
a marked falling off in the receipts at all
the ports. Tae receipts of fine rosin will
he smaller than it has lieen for years.
And now a few words about Heights
and I am done.
In your daily not many months since 1
saw, "among tlie many interesting subjects
in that issue, a review of the business of
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way, which attributed the success of that
road at first to the large amount of naval
stores and lumber transported over it.
Some years ago when there was a great
depression in the lumber trade, upon the
application of the mill men to tbe railroad
authorities quite a reduction was obtained
in the rates of freight on that commodity.
Now that there is such a depression in
the prices of naval stores, cannot a geduc
tion be made in the rates of freight on this
article also?
The immense amount of supplies used
on the turpentine farms, the large amount
of travel indulged in by its employes,
together with the freights realized from
the spirits and rosin, hell) to swell con
siderably tbe vaults of the Central and the
Savannah, Florida and 'Western railroads.
Now, we do not like to be unreasonable,
and only ask that the railroads give us
rates of freights similar to those charged
on lumber, timber, wood or the like com
modity. Why should the freights on
spirits and rosin be higher than the
freights on lumber, etc?

THE MIND CURE.
Tlie I-atest Bouton Cult. *
The “Mind Cure” is the latest Boston
cult, says a New York Graphic Boston
correspondent. There are three women
who now pose before the public as accom
plished “mind curers,” and give lectures
and instruction on the subject in public
halls or in parlor meetings. At a recent
meeting in a house at the West End there
were present Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson,
Dr. Bartol, Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz, Mrs.
Maria S. Porter, Dr. Mary J. Salford and
two or three others. Opinions were di
vided. The “mind curer” related many
singular cures which she claimed could
be proved by investigation, which she in
vited. One instance was to this effect: A
young lady bad been for many years a con
firmed invalid,unable to walk." The “mind
curer” was admitted to her chamber, where
she sat down and in her phraseology
“bore her on her mind.” She soon per
ceived, she relates, that the invalid was
suffering from nervous fear. She sought
the mother and inquired if her daughter
had ever experienced any severe fright.
The mother replied that she had; that her
long illness had resulted from being
chased and tossed by a horned animal,
and that she was found senseless, and
since then had never been able to be
about. In sleep she dreamed of the terri
ble occurrence, and when awake it
haunted her thoughts. The “mind
curer” now applied her mental power
to eradicating this impression on
the mind of the invalid and to infusing
new power of hope and life. The
girl began to feel the invigorating influ
ence. Each day the mind physician came
and each day the girl grew stronger.
Soon she sat up, then she walked; then
she came to town and visited tlie Foreign
Exposition; and it is claimed that she is
to-day as well as any one. The theory of
the metaphysical cure is that there is
really no such thing as disease; that it is
a delusion, a warped and unbalanced
mental condition. Something ot this
power is more or less universal. A lady
in Boston who is endowed with one of the
most noble, generous and helpful of
natures, believes that she can exercise
this influence. Her experience as she re
lates it is that the little son of her laun
dress had epileptic fits; that she put her
hands on the boy, talked to him long and
kindly and said: “Now you are not going
to have any more of these; you must be
lieve in me and I will cure you.” The at
tacks diminished, only one or two appear
ing after that, and for w'eeks the child has
been entirely free from them. The mind
curers claim that an invalid or sufferer
from any cause could cure himself, were
he sutliciently strong mentally. The phe
nomenon preseuts some interesting phases
worthy of scientific attention. “There
are more things in heaven and earth, Ho
ratio,” etc.
How to Avoid Breach of Promise.
A St. Albans ( Vt.) young man has re
cently proved himself equal to an emer
gency in disposing of a threatened breach
of promise case—or something of a simi
lar nature, says the Boston Journal. Soon
after the young man’s marriage inten
tions were published in church, a girl who
thought she had a right to interfere in his
marriage with another, on tbe ground of
alleged previous promises made to her,
interviewed the priest and rehearsed the
young man’s conduct toward her. 'When
■ the day fixed for the wedding arrived, tbe
clergyman refused to tie the knot until
some satisfactory arrangement had been
made and the lacerated feelings of girl
number one duly attended to. Whereupon
the young man escorted girl number two
to her home and proceeded to the abode of
number one. There he suggested that as
number one objected to number two, she
might go with him to the church and mar
ry him herself. This proposition was du
ly rejected; and, as number one had com
mitted herself in such a manner as to
leave her no furtbur excuse for interfer
ing with the young man’s marital inten
tions, he returned to number two, escorted
her to the church and married her by 5
o’clock of the same day. We submit that
this mode of procedure, while It may not
be particularly encouraaing to “number
two,” i6 apt to squelch "most thoroughly
any fear of objection ou the part of “num
ber one.”
