PARROTT TALKS ABOUT COTTON The Veteran Predicts a Possi ble Advance in the Price of the Staple. BOES NOT $M WHEN. Result of Another Big Drop —Some thing About the Cotton Mills of New England. When The News published its last cot ton letter in Dcccmebr, it was predicted the price must advance. Now friend Wortham tells me it did not. Well, 1 ad mi- Lb fact, but contend that It must do so, but won't say when. Two montiiß have brought developments we could not foresee and as couservative men aa the writer have been forced to raise their estimate of he total crop by half million bales. nA u*e late uoveriior Joseph Brown, oi Georgia, ou ■ said w a r< w<uen uc amnu uim it ue was worm u miHiou 01 iluisal ‘ .i .ulilluD ui uUi.ili’ i U. 4*ll &L amount oi money young man." ••>ow now iuui u more in a nail million of halve ol cotton mulupHeU t*y 4-ifi' 1 (iuui' item a *\ew aoi K letter snout iiig .n.vciui vuiiie>s we could i.ot see two monttis ago; “ii.

The only cloud on their bright horizon has to do with the drifting of the demoralized Industry of the -North to the Southern Helds. This means improved machinery and skillful labor.” It is all "rot” to prophesy that the mills of New England will bo dismantled for ever and the great industry transplanted and monopolized In the cotton belt. We might as well forecast that the South will control the English and continental trade 'because the South is (he great producing ejection and -goods can be made cheaper. If European manufacturers can impart cotton and hold their trade as they seent alble to do, why not the New England man ufacturer when present difficulties are overcome.” The boards of our cotton exchange show that January win at in Ch! ago today sold from SI.OB to sl.Ol. while May wheat was being taken at 96c. All stocks were up. some of the “out of sight.” so to speak, and ribs showed sc. on the (board a few days since. Cotton alone drags along while the re ceipts are so large the only wonder is it docs not decline. All interested parties are watching the sale of fertilizers and guessing at the probable acreage, reports from Texas and Arkansas tel! us there will bo probably be no reduction while in the Atlantic states there will be only a small reduction. Another crop of anything like the di mensions of the last will bring disaster and bankruptcy to all who raise and han dle it. But there has been so much said and written on this subject we “pass.” When you speculate, recollect it is man against man and dollar against dollar, with the chances against you. right or wrong. A. F. P. FREE TO MILLIONS. A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for the Asking. Medical books are not always interesting reading, especially to people enjoying goon health, but as a matter of tact scarcely cm person in ten is perkfectly healthy.' and even with such sooner oi later sickness must come. it is also a well established truth that nine -1< niffs oi all diseases originate with a b'reaktnx down of the digtsiiou, a weak stomach weakens and impoverishes the system, making it easy for disease to gain a foothold. Nobody need fear eonsumptioin. kidney disease, liver trouble or a weak heart ana nervous system as long as the digestion is good and the stomach able to assimilate plenty of wholesome food. Stomach weakness snows itself in a score of ways and this little book de scribes the symptoms and causes and points the way to a cure so simple that anyone can understand and apply. Thousands have some form of stomach trouble ..nd do not know it. They ascribe the headaches, the languor, nervousness, insomnia, palpitation, constipation and similar symptoms to some other cause than the real-one. Get your digestion on the right track and the heart trouble, lung trouble, liver disease or nervous debility will rapidly disappear. The little book treats entirely on the cause and removal of indigestion and its acto tu pa nying a n noy a n ees. It describes the symptoms of Acid Dys pepsia. Nervous Dyspepsia. Slow Dyspep sia. Amylaceous Dyspepsia. Catarrh of the stomach and ail affections of the digestive organs in plain language easily understood and the causes removed. it gives valuable suggestions as to diet, and contains a table giving length of time required to digest various articles of food, something every person with weak diges tion should know. No price is asked, but simply send your name and address plainly written on pos tal card to the F. A. Stuart Co.. Marshall. Mich., requesting a little book on Stomach Diseases and it will be sent promptly by return mail. VACCINATING THE CHILDREN. Professor Abbott Says There Has Been no Resistance so Far in the Schools. When the Board of Education passed a resolution making it necessary for all of the school children to be vaccinated it was thought then that opposition that was displayed several years ago would be in evidence again, and there was consider able talk to that effect, but now all of the parents seem to <be sumitting quietly, and the larger portion of the children have been vaccinated. The residents in East Macon who were the foremost in this matter of opposition have about given up the fight, and it Is thought that they will submit quietly to having ibeir children vaccinated. BY TREATY May the War in Cuba be Ended, Says • News from a High Source. New York, Feb. 1. —A Madrid special to the Herald asserts that important news cornea from a high source which means nothing less than that unless an unexpect ■ d incident shall occur peace is assured and the end of the Cuban troubles is at hand. For some time past negotiations have be< n going on between Spain and the United States for a commercial treaty. G< n. Woodford, in behalf of the United States, is carrying on the delicate negotia tions here for a measure which Is highly beneficial to Cuba, Spain and the United States Those negotiations have reached Wash ington. They are reciprocal and of dou ble nature, for one treaty will be made with Spain between Senor De Lome and a deb gate chosen to represent the United States, by which the United States comes in for a first time on a footing as a most favored country, thus opening markets to her which up to now Germany, France and England had to themselves. Another treaty with a separate sched ule will be signed by a delegate of Cuba on behalf of the autonomist government on broad terms. The importance of this latter will be seen when it is understood that trade will at once enormously increase with Cuba, whose undeveloped wealth will be at once stimulated by inflowing Ameri can capital, assured that no longer can .cy government whim, injustice or wrong precipitate disorders and consequent ruin in property. .Spam will gain an intelligent peace cn modern lines and Cuba a free government, which the United States cannot afford to have tampered with or disturbed.

Judson Lyons Is a Living Example of the Wily Ways of tne President. Washington, Feb. I.—When Judson Lyons thinks of the way the president pul nis arm on ..is shoulder and said: "Wilt you be willing to leave your case in mj personal charge'.”' he remembers what Joab aid to Abner wiles he lovingly said: "Art thou in health, my brother?” anu smote him under tne fifth rib. This ancient style of politics is a favor ite with the president. Whenever fights leeni irrevocable to others the president tri s this method. B< tort now he lias said to weary candidates: "Will you be willing to leave your case in my personal keep ing?" The affectionately londled candi date imeindiately says "Yes," and forth with his opponent is named for the place he was seeking. Sometimes these personal wards arc taken care of in the future, but more oiien tiiey are not. Everyone ac quainted with Hie case of Lyons and the "affectionate regard" in which lie is held by the president, believes that he will be taken care of somewhere down the line, nut every day's delay is telling on the man's ikivts, even on one as well beloved as Lyons. The expert way in which McKinley handles these eases reminds one of the able claim agent which a certain weL known railroad employs. Os course it is well known that no employe of the rail road is allowed to ride on the “vestibult limited.” The other day a negro laborer was injured very' badly and as soon as he recovered sufficiently to get out he ap plied for damages. The road's claim agent told him that he was very sorry that he could do nothing for him; that it did seem too bad, but he did not see what could be lone. Then seeing the negro obstinate raid threatening, said; “Old fellow, I am truly sorry about this thing, for I know you would like to get away from here. 1 tell you what I’ll do. 1 will get you a ticket over the vestibule —but look here, you must not tell any of the other negroes, for they are all crazy to ride on the ves tibule.” The injured negro was more than glad to accept such a recompense and went away happy and serene. So it is with those who have had thi pleasure of feeling the president's hand on their shoulders and hearing his voice telling them that he will think of them ii they will only leave their interests in his keeping. Old People. Old people who require medicine to reg ulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric Bitters. This med icine does not stimulate and contains no whisky nor other intoxicant, but acts as a tonic and alterative.

The Cold Wave Came to Town this Morn ing in Earnest. The recent warm weather that Macon has enjoyed makes the cold wave that came to town yesterday felt more .percep tably by the Macon people today, and the ecal wagons are kept constantly on the move. The warm weather has been a blessing to the poor of the city, and it will hardly be necessary to do much charity work this year. (Most of the poor have been, able to keep up. and it is now probable that they will have no trouble in getting along until warm weather sets in. THE THIRD TIME. H. Kaplan Complains That Some One Breaks Into His Feed House too Often. Mr. H. Kaplan, at 159 Fourth street says that his feed house has been broken into four times in the past three weeks, and various articles stolen therefrom. Mr. Kaplan says that be has reported the mat ter to the police, but so far has not been able to catch the thief. Numerous reports of petty larceny are reported daily, and it is impossible to fer ret out all the small cases when there is no clew whatever, and the amounts stolen are so small that it is hardly worth while to look for the thief. SIOO REWARD SIOO. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in ail its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foun dation of the disease and giving the pa tient strength by building up the consti tution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer SIOO for any case that It fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J. CHE NEY A- CO.. Toledo, O.

Up to a year ago Samuel Gineley was the oldest barber in point of continuous service in the interesting old county of Bucks. Early last year, however, he re tired from business, and most of the effects in his store wore sold. lie held on to a set of shaving mugs, however, which had the merit of being undoubtedly the oldest and most complete in the entire state. These mugs, which are of blue and purple de sign, each adorned with an old fashioned landscape, were made in England over 100 years ago. They passed to Mr. Ginsley from a relative, who had been a barber many years before him. Each cup was numbered, and for 60 years it had its spe cial place upon the shelves of the little old shop in Doylestown. The faces of many dignified judges and great lawyers of the county have been smothered in lather brewed in these old cups, and many fine tales might be told by each of these bits of china if they could but speak. Mr. Ginsley kept the cups for awhile after ho gave up his shop, but they were recently purchased by an old curiosity dealer in Bristol.— Philadelphia Record.

There were several round tables placed down the middle of the room Candles burned in candlesticks, all of which bad betiu imported from Cairo at a fabulous i cost luamps of olive oil were also about ■ the room. The food was more than a bun i dant A whole sheep stuffed with rice, raisins and pistachio nuts. soup, chicken, i vegetables, succeeded each other. Then came trays of delicious fruit—the trays made of woven date fiber, the fruit, deli- I cious black grapes, figs, a small variety of watermelon, sweet lemons, pomegranates and mandarins Our host did not sit down, but di.ect.-d the servants, who were most likely slaves. There is still some traffic in slaves from Kura, the price of one of these being a small roll of blue and black cloth, such as the natives wear. I fancy most of the Siv.-f.ns’ dislike of admitting Chris tians to their town is the dread that then slave trade will be interfered with. There was no conversation during the meal; foi any one to talk would have meant a tlisre gard for the other more important func tion of eating After a long dinner wo rose and washed our bands in brass basins, with water poured out of ewers. Then all sat on the divans round the room A servant then walked round, showering rosewater over us so liberally that another had to follow with a towel and wipe us dry, and while he did this a third stifled us with incense This unpleasant ceremony cost our host a large sum, for rosewater imported from Egypt becomes of fabulous value and the servants were unpleasantly liberal iu dis pensing it.—Geographical Journal. English Soldiers. Protestant clergymen are popularly sup posed to be the best male “lives going But they die at a rate of nearly 11 per thousand each year, while the British army shuffles off this mortal coil at a rate of less than 5 per thousand Even la dies’ maids, who have usually a life of great comfort and little work, die faster than this, departing this life at the rate of 8 per thousand It might well be supposed that the troops who do as much fighting as the British soldiers abroad would be carried off in large numbers. This was true in the past, when the conditions favored disease, but. in these days war is by no means as dan gerous. For instance, in all our wars of the past 20 years the death rate cn ti.e baiti. field has been only 15 per thousand per annum Now solicitors cannot be said to be en gaged in very risky wotk. yet they depart hence at the rate of 16 per thousand per annum Roman Catholic priests die at ftie rate of IS per thor.-:."d and cabmen at the rate of 26 per thousand Your chances of death, then, if you become a cabman are five times as great as it’ yen join the army at home and nearly twice as great as if you form part of the fighting forces in.

You lose strength and weight and vitality and am bition. Everything seems to go at once. This is what is called "running down.” It is because the blood is wrong. It lacks the building-up elements. The digestive powers are feeble and fail to get full nutri tion out of the food. There is nothing in the world so good to correct this state of affairs as Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It puts a new element into the blood. It fills it with the life-giving red corpuscles. It gives power to the digestive apparatus to get nutrition out of the food. It purifies, enriches and vitalizes the circulation so that every organ cf the body is strengthened and built up. It tones and invigorates the nerves. It makes hard, healthy, muscular flesh. Tt does not make useless fat like cod liver oil. Corpulent people gain power and vitality through the “Golden Medical Discovery” without gaining any superfluous flesh.
