How the South Has Been Neglected.
Wliil. some of our southern people are,
very foolishly, clamoring for war, the
Manufacturers’ Record calls attention to
the unprotected condition of our southern
coast cities, and the facts 'Which it pre-
I'tits convict tiie government of criminal
n, gleet in the matter of military and na
val protection.
WueUiir tins neglect has been through
<l. '-ign or otherwise, the facX remains that
.tiie south lias been tile last to receive any
attention from the government —though it
would probably be the first to receive the
attention of a foreign foe.
There are a certain number of fools
living in the north who are still suspi
cious of the souith, and it is not at all im
probable that this sentiment has kept the
south out of her Just share or protection
from a military amt naval standpoint.
1 lust: fools are beginning to have their
eyes opened at last, and, realizing that
there is more real patriotism in the south
than in any other part, of this country,
tiny are at last rushing forward powder
and shot for our protection. In the mean
time northern cities have been strongly
•fortified, while our southern forts have
been left practically without protection.
Leaving aside the fact that the seaports
of the south have been among the last to
be provided with the means of protection,
and that the work of building fortifica
tions and furnishing armament to the
northern cities was taken up and partly
completed before work south of the Poto
mac river was begun, it may be said that
the government is acting at a great disad
vantage on account of not having bases of
military and naval supplies in this section
.of tiie country, observes the Record.
I Miring the past fe w weeks guns, ammu
nition and other equipment have been
shipped from as far north as New England
in some ius.iinice* io the gulf cities, a dis
tance of thousands of miles. At present
i lie United States has no plant for repair
ing its warships south of the Norfolk navy
yard, exempt, perhaps, at Pensacola, al
though in ease of war with Spain a plant
of this kind on the gulf coast, for ex
ample, would be of the utmost value, as
■tiie seem of conflict woulfls undoubtedly be
in the vicinity of the West India Islands.
Th< gun factories owned by the United
Scales ate entirely outside of Qie southern
territory, the nearest to the southern sea
coast being that at Washington, nearly two
hundred miles from Hampton Roads.
The .Manufacturers' Record in previous
issues has referred to the facilities in the
south for the location of a first-class gov
ernment shipyard at Port Royal, S. C., and
other points on the South Atlantic and
gulf coasts, iu proximity to an abundance
of ship timber and requisites for con
siruetion. The question of an armor plate
factory, still unsettled, has. already shown
the facilities which the south has for this
■brain h of industry; also a plant for
making ammunition of different kinds, for
which the government Is now spending
millions of dollars.
Such works as these would have the ad
vantage of being nearest the seacoast,
where, in ease of possible war. 'the mate
4'kil could be placed on board ship, or in
the coast defences, at a comparatively
small cost. As it is, however, southern
fortifications are receiving ammunition
and projee'tiles from .Massachusetts, New
York and Pennsylvania at the increased
expense of transportation from these
points. With a first-class naval station
and shipyard on the gulf, an ordinance
factory iu Alabama cr Georgia, and an ar
mor plant in any one of the dozen cities
which might be mentioned available in
'this locality for the purpose, preparation
against an enemy, offensive or defensive,
could be made at a great saving of time,
which is so valuable in emergencies of this
kind, and at a very great reduction of ex
penses.
It is to be hoped that the government
will no longer remain blind to the neces
sity for taking advantage of the facilities
offered in the southern states, and that
another international difficulty will not
find us so unprepared from this neglect.
The Real Reasons for War.
If war comes, says the lawyers and
statesmen at Washington, it will come >n
this way. The destruction of the Maine,
with even the wholesale killing of our
soldiers, does not necessitate war, as no
one believes or charges that Captain Gen
eral Blanco or his government had any
thing to do with the outrage. A better
reason for war would be our interposition
in Cuba on general grounds of humanity.
But the United States will undoubtedly
claim a large indemnity for the 'wrecking
of our warship and the killing of our
seamen. Proud and stubborn Spain, not
without bull-ring courage, will be forced,
if she wants peace, into the position of ad
mitting the erime, possibly perpetrated at
least by certain of her subjects, if not of
ficially. It is thought that the Sagasta
government can't stand such a strain, and
that the demands of the United States
will unite all Spanish factions’in resisting
it. In that event, the United States must
back down, or war must ensue.
The “Candler Ring.’’
The “ring ’ organs have now started the
cry of "Candler ring.” But that's all
right; this is one year when 'the people
are in the ring. And turn about is fair
play, you know.
But the ory being raised by the ring
organs only shows to what straight they
have been put. They evidently realize
that the people are chary of rings—they
would be blind to their own experience if
they did not —and they hope to turu this
righteous prejudice to account.
But the people know political rings when
they see them. And they don't mind these
rings so much when they are allowed to
control them. And this is the sort of ring
the "Candler ring” is.
No, boys, this is one year when the peo
ple are net going to be bluffed. They are
dead on to your little game. And we have
an idea that you suspect.
Louisville is to offer a deadly insult to
the Blue Grass regions by starting a
horseless-carriage factory.
A Drug on the Markit.
One of the most interesting and con
! vincing cotton statements ever brought to
our attention Las just been issued by
Messrs. Latham, Alexander & ('a., under
date of March Ifith. The table prepared
by these noted experts proves, beyond con
troversy, several very important things.
I; proves that for the past tour years when
the cotton crop is normal the price paid
for it is remunerative; but when more
cotton is made than the mills have any
need for, then the price is not remuner
ative.
It follows, as stated elsewhere, that
when too much cotton is raised, as in ’BS
and '9B, the staple becomes a drug on the
. ’narked, and only the promise of decreased
acreage for the following year can raise
the price. •
But here is the letter in question. It
should be studied by every farmer and by
every business man who is in a position
to advise the farmer against the suicidal
policy of raising more cotton than the
world can consume.
Any good business man would gladly ac
cept such pointers as -his letter .-ontains,
and would attempt to profit thereby,
whether it foretold the probable future
price of nit at, of flour of any other com
modity. But the average farmer looks
upon such advice as a piece of unwarrant
ed interference Uy people who don't know
what they are talking about—notwith
standing the fact that they are acknowl
edged authorities. Surely no sensible
farmer can read thege figures without
comprehending the main cause for five
cent, ext ton. The letter is as follows:
V.e* have the pleasure to submit for
your information the following compara
tive position of cotton and prices ou March
18th for the past four years:

advance of only 5-16 cents per pound
above the lowest price touched this sea
son. and contracts for August delivery, at
an advance of only 0.25 cents above the
lowest.
In our circular letters of January 19th
and February sth we endeavored to show
the undeniably enormous losses that the
South has Invariably sustained when more
cotton was produced than necessary to
supply the w ants of the'world.
If we should bring the tabulated figures
made then, up to this date, ibe losses to
the farmers on this year’s crop would ap
pear still more startling; and. with the
condition of affairs now prevailing
throughout the world, the necessity for a
reduction in acreage this year should ap
peal to every farmer -with greater force
and induce him to largely increase the
production of food crops.
The planters of the South have no en
couragement to plant cotton largely this
year, with the Anglo-Russian-Chinese
complications existing in the East, which
might before the new crop could be mar
eted greatly reduce the value of cotton,
and the strained relations of our own gov
ernment with Spain, which possibly might
result in war staring them in the face.
Even with permanent peace existing be
tween all the nations of the globe, the
consumptive demand for cotton would not
be sufficient to warrant the production of
another such large American crop as last
year. An inevitable Joss to the whole
South, in our opinion, would surely fol
low.
From a recent circular of Messrs. Elli
son <fc Co., Liverpool, the highest authority
on eotton consumption in the world, we
make the following as to future prospects:
“In our annual report issued in Jan
aury, we showed that with an American
crop of 10,750,000 bales, and a consumption
o' about 9,650,000 bales, the stock of Amer
ican cotton in the ports of the United
States. Europe, and the surplus stocks at
■the American and European mills would
be about 1,900,000 bales, against only 800,-
000 last year, ■and we remarked that in re
gard to the future of prices everything
would depend upon the prospects of the
new crop.
“With as great a reduction in acreage
as look place in the spring of 1895, we
should see a repetition of the upward
movement in values witnessed in that
year: but, if planters are satisfied with
present prices and do not reduce the area
planted, then cotton will become a greater
drug than it ever has been iu the history
of the trade, and planters will not get any
thing like present prices.”
In their report Messrs. Ellison k- Co.
based their calculations upon a crop of
only 10,750.000 bales, when 9.975.418 bales
have already been received, and the indi
cations favor 11.000.000 bales or more.
The present unfavorable outlook for
prices of next year's crop should induce
every merchant in the South to use his
influence with the planters to cause a
marked reduction in acreage, which would
be surely followed by better prices and
greater confidence in general business
opeiations throughout the South.
Whatever we may say of England she is
to be admired for the way in which she
looks after her own subjects.’ An English
firm, Swan. Hunter & Co., recently built
a large floating dock for Spain in Havana
harbor. Having got he dock, Spain neg
lected to pay for it. The English firm
; complained to their government. That
j was enough. In a few days the British
' war frigate Cordelia was at Havana to see
about the matter. Spain will pay just as
• fast as she can.
Those splendid stories of Ohio senators
scorning to accept a bribe are doubtless
intended for consumption” by people who
don t know the brand of polities used in
that state.

Absolutely Pure
Daughters of Wesleyan.
Tc News has received from the Fort
Valley W. sleyan Club the following com
po.-ition from the pen of 'Mrs. F. S.
tßianch. It ia a stirring call in behalf of
old Wesleyan, amd will strike a responsive
chord in the heart of every daughter of
that institution:
Daughters of Wesleyan, one and all,
Attend your alma nfater's call;
Her clarion notes through rale aisd dell,.
And oe’r mountain top must rise and swell
'Till all who once loved her, and love her
still, ’
With ncble endeavor will pulse and thrill
To endow her and give her the lofty place
She richly deserves, and is fitted to grace.
Oil, -beautiful, beautiful Wesleyan girls,
With dark, waving hair or light sunny
curls,
Whose eyes brightly beam -with frolic and
•fun,
Whose forms and whose features are ri
valled by none;
Let the mild belle of conscience ring with
an air
Soft and sweet us the chimings calling to
prayer
In the old College Chapel, near altars at
home,
Or in God's sacred temples wherever you
roam,
I) hile life is so filled with the incense of
flowers,
And rest so attractive in coziest bowers,
So bright with the radiance the sunshine
is flinging,
So laden with hopes which the springtime
is bringing.
In innocent pleasures be happy and gay,
Let good cheer and gladness have fulness
of play;
But let none so allure thee, of none grow
so fond
That to call of high duty you fail to
rcsipond.
Shall queenliest ones in their life’s high
noon,
Where light April fancies have settled in
June,
Recall the past years when they marched
in your ranks,
And were brimful of horrid, mischievous
pranks?
Yes, those looking (back from their hoary
December,
Through grandmother’s eyes, cannot fail
to remember
How oft they derided the "brick house on
the hill"
Between romantic Macon and lovely-Vine
ville;
In their school-girlish malice
Called it "The old hungry palace,
“And dungeon and jail,”
As their lots they’d bewail.
But when lessons they knew,
And trials were few,
Professors were nice, all the scholars so
good,
And school life worth living, so joyous
their mood.
Now, with plans matured, work well ar
ranged,
These thoughtless maidens are greatly
changed,
For as mothers and wives in plain little
homes,
In costliest mansions with loftiest domes,-
Or sharing the toils of the minister’s lot,
Its joys and its sorrows, in grand house or
cot,
'With, womanly grace
They fill well t'he'ir place.
As authors and artists some have won a
fair name,
And in musical realms have been followed
by fame,
As teachers they surely excel,
'And some have consented to dwell
In far-away dark heathen lands,
Thus joining our noblest of bands.
A es, in quiet retreats or busiest whirls,
Bravely standing for right, are Wesleyan
girls.
Equipped as they are for the battles of
life,
With cultured hearts and minds so rife
With all that is good, exalting and true,
In old time learning as well as the new,
They'll list to the pleadings their college
is sending.
Loyal hearts, loyal hands most earnestly
lending.
And thus while the beautiful banner un
fuurls,
With united effort the Wesleyan girls
Will endow her, and make her a seat of
• renown
And place on her brow a bright jewelled
crown.

Redeemers of Democracy.
The Candler forces are pointing with
pride to the gUrious ricord of Col. Can
dler made in his race against Emory Speer
in the Ninth district. It is certainly a
record to (be proud of. In fact, ft was the
record in Georgia until the tierce fight be ?
tween Black and Watson broke out in the
Tenth district. Now. the Ninth district
record is a good second, but the record for
redeeming Democracy belongs to the
Tenth Congressional district, —Augusta
H. raid.
God help the Democratic parly if it
would be redeemed by such methods as,
for the past six or eight years, have been
in vogue in the Tenth district. Democracy
cannot afford to be redeemed in any such
manner.
Instead of giving the credit—or blame—
to the entire Tenth district, why not give
it to Augusta’s 'Fourth ward, for there is
where the actual work of “redeeming the
Democratic party” was done. There is
where the “redeemers of Democracy”
voted dead men., non-residents, women,
children and reconcontradoes. There’s
where the necessary majority was always
made up. and where surplus ballots were
eaten.
No, the Democratic party does not need
to be redeemed by Tenth district or Fourth
ward—methods. And Allen D. Candler is
not given to such methods. He is a cam
paigner of the old school, who is used to
winning victories fairly and squarely. His
style of campaigning may not endear him
to the Herald, but it will win the nomina
tion for him, just the same.
