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: IS!U, Total visible supply in the Un'ted States, Europe and at sea. 4,183,243?

From this statement, the total visibel supply of cotton in the world is 613,828 bales more than last year, 660,092 bales more than in 1896, and 477,568 bales less than in 1895. The amount of cotton that has been marketed to date is 2,105,027 more than last year, 3,694,781 bales more than in 1896, and 1,045,986 more than in 1895. The exports this year are 977,896 bales more than last year, 2,365,470 bales more than in 1896, and 514,671 bales more than in 1895. The stock in the United States ports is 288,385 bales more than last year, 357,330 bales more than in 1896, and 91,896 bales more than in 1895. The following was the price of cotton for Future Delivery in New York, basis middling, on March 18th of each year: Doc. delivery 6.04 6.51 7.26 6.22 ■ 1898. 1897. 1896. 1895.

Middling uplands is now selling at an 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. pOYM gy POWDER 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.
