Every woman who wishes to be consid
ered up to date must know the different
marks on china. The porcelain that the
■mark known as Royal Berlin, has the rep
utation of being only second to Dresden,
and in many instances equal to it. The
word “Royal" before the name china, de
note.-. that it came from a royal establish
ment. “K. M. P.” stands for Koniglich
Porcelain Manufacture. Old Dresden
china was first manufactured at the royal
manufactory at Meiseon, five miles from
Dresden, and was under the patronage of
Augustus 1 (Augustus Rex. the A. R. be- |
Ing his initials,) king of Poland. ’ The I
present mark of the crossed swords was 1
not used till 1730. Stoke-upon-Trent is the |
home of several noted china works, Min- I
■ton being the most famous. The ma;k of j
another porcelain made at Stoke-upon- ■
Trent is of wide repute under the name of :
Copeland. Their most famous pattern is ’
remarkable for its rose and other floral |
decorations. There are several varities of j
famous Doulton china, Doulton Burslem i
and Doulton Lambeth being the best j
known. The last named is often mistaken I
for Holland. It is blue and white and I
represents buildings and landscapes."

COTTON RAISING
AND JTS COST,
Interesting Article on the
Subject by Captain A, F.
Parrott.
PREDICTS ADVANCE Os PRICE
But Finds No Reason Why the Crop
Should be Very Much Reduced
for Next Year.
At the opening of the market on the
morning of February 10th there was gath
ered together in the office of the Cotton
Exchange twenty-five men representing
several professions including buyer and
seller of actual cotton, grocery merchants,
guano men, capitalists, brokers, one city
aiderman and one practicing physician,
and it is dollars to doughnuts that they all
read The News and won’t pass this article
written for their amusement and interest,
for as all of them are experts in a specula
tive sense I wuold not presume to tell
them anything, doubtless they will hold
me excused if I save them the trouble of
looking up and compiling the figures in
which all are interested.
The future market has advanced in the
last month over 40 points, while spots in
Liverpool and New York have practically
kept pace, the latter market quoting today
6’A against 5% some time since, while- the
city of Macon has kept pace with the little
steamer so gallantly pushing her way to
this port and is selling cotton today at
5%@5% against 5 and 5% in November,
and while these figures still seem low,
compared to other markets they are “high
as a house.”
The holder of cotton is flrm and the sup
ply offering is small, why, partially be
cause all have recognized for a long time
the great staple was below the cost of
production, but under the miserable sys
tem we labor in these Southern states
which forces the majority—aye, the great
majority—to market their crop in three
months the supply far exceeds the demand.
The manufacturer is only human and with
the weight of capital buys a year supply
in those said three months, but to remedy
this evil will take a better man than the
writer so we will pass and endeavor to
show you what it cost to raise and market
a bale, of cotton in this state, the second
largest producer of them all.
As an example I will take a one-horse
farm on rented land and submit figures
carefully revised by my friend, Jerry Wil
lis, of Bibb county, himself a successful
farmer.
Rent of 30 acres of land at $2 $ 60 00
(20 in cotton and 10 in corn)
3 tons of guano (meal and acid... 50 00
1 man time and nations for six
months 57 00
3 hoelngs of cotton crop at $1.50 per
acre 30 00
Working corn 5 00
Picking and ginning per bale at 8.15 81.50
$283 50
He produces on the land:
10 bales cotton 500 lbs each at
5c $250 00
300 bushels of cotton seed at 12c.. 36 00
$286 00
The cost of cultivating the corn is in
cluded in the above, because that is nec
essary to the support of man and mule,
while nothing is allowed for wear and
tear, repairs and taxes.
Again it is doubtful if the tenant will
make ten bales and still more doubtful if
they will average 500 pounds each, but to
make the figure show to the best advan
tage we give the tenant the benefit of tha
doubt.
Again it cost something in time and
labor to dispose of the cotton and the
seed for they are not sold on the land
where they are raised.
Now some gentleman may ask why
raise cotton at these figures. Well I quote
a well known farmer of Jones county who
said: “I met a negro who is running four
plows and asked him if he was making
prepantions to plant as much cotton as
last year and he replied, yes boss, a negro
is obliged to plant cotton if he wants a
white man to talk to him. Corn and hogs
don’t count.”
“The fact is, captain, it is the negro who
raises the cotton in our section, the land
is all rented out and for cotton.”
Now with these conditions etaring us in
the face it will not be the fault of the
average Georgia farmer if he fails to raise
another large crop and receives about the
same price or less. Always providing the
good Lord gives him another equally as
good season. But as nature is a great
equalizer the season is exceedingly doubt
ful and the world at large would cheer
fully pay the allotted $300,000,000 for a
smaller cotton crop.
In 1894 and 1895 when the South made
what Is known to the trade as the big
crop and 5 cent cotton showed for the first
time we had received up to this date in
round numbers 650,000 bales more, while
the visible supply is about 400,000 less
than at that time.
Thus the question is what has become
of it and we answer the export demand
has kept pace with the receipts and while
the stock at the ports and interior towns
Is still large, cheap money and firm hold
ers make actual cotton hard to obtain.
The Southern mills are running on full
time, the manufactured article finds a
ready market, much of it going to China
and Japan, while the strike In New Eng
land serves to reduce consumption to some
extent, it enables the holder to dispose of
the goods already made, which are quoted
firm.
In conclusion I would like to ask if with
everything against the great staple such
as over 4. fi oo,ooo bales received in Novem
ber and December it stubbornly refused to
decline. Why should it not now advance
with many things in its favor.
My newspaper friend told me in Jan
uary the market would not go up until
March, but I disagreed with him and con
fidentially looked for this advance much
sooner and I am badly off my bearings if
it does not go much higher.
I ?nly beg" to repeat if you speculate it
is well to recollect it is man against man
and dollar against dollar, with the chances
against you -“right or wrong.”

WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
Will be Quietly Celebrated as Usual in
Macon.
Washington’s birthday will be celebrated
about in the usual manner in Macon.
There has been some talk of a big mili
tary turn out, but it is not probable that
this will take place.
As usual some of the companies will
parade but otherwise there will be no
demonstration.
Consumption Positively Cured.
Mr. FL B. Greeve, merchant, of Chil
howie, Va., certifies that he had consump
tion, was given up to die, sought all medi
cal treatment that money could procure,
tried all cough-remedies he could hear of,
but got no relief; spent many nights sit
ting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery, and was cured by
the use of two bottles. For the past three
years has been attending to business, and
says Dr. King’s New Discovery is the
grandest remedy ever made, a sit has done
so much for him and also for others in his
community. Dr. King’s New Discovery is
guaranteed for coughs, colds and consump
tion. It don’t fail. Trial bottles free at
