The North’s Idea of Burying the Hatchet.
There is no denying the fact that the ,
Northern press has not taken kindly to,
IT* r ider.: ‘McKinley’s uterances on his-
Southern trio. They consider his refer
ences to Confederate graves gushing, and,
they evidently re.- ent bis willingness to put
the t'onfedorate .-oldier in any other light
than a traitor and rebel.
The 'South, on the other hand, received
-the ITfshknt’s utterances gladly, and sin- j
' '•"fly shared the Haitian nt of brotherly
hive which he bt'ca'htd. Not that the
South desired or neded vindication at the!
band.- of President McKinley, or anyone;
else, but tn rely that her people accepted
tiie : jportut’.ity to rinph;..-'ize their love of
country end good feeling.
I! now. however. they are to be slapped
in the face by those for whom President
M -Kinley assumed to speak, it goes with- I
out saying that the latter’s utterances will !
r,-ul( in more harm than good. The
wound tha't was so rapidly healing will be ,
• p< nt d afresh, and the South will not .-non I
open its heart again io those who have so ■
ba.t ly rewarded its confidence.
The point raised by the. Northern press
that the I’restd nt’s speech lias given rise,
to a? >(•;■ -of foolish prepositions, among i
oth< - U?g<.ion of aF« deral ns ion ;
for Conft derate soldiers, is hardly worthy
of serious consideration. No one knows
better than the Northern press that no
such idea is entertained by any self-re
specting Southerner The South's soldiers,
;-s history shows, did not fight for pay; and j
livre is not today ,a survivor of the Lost j
-<’av.se worthy of that honored title who
would accept from his former foes one
penny for what he .suffered.
, The trouble with 'the average Northern
er (v. hieh. of course. excepts the few who
are able to rise above the proverbial nar
rowness and selfishness of the class) is j
, i.it be expects the South to bury the
•.ualchet all by itself, and thereby make a.n
■ oil :icral 'act of contrition. The South is,
now at.d has ever been willing to meet the '
North just a, little more than half way in ,
this work, but her sons would not -be»j
•worthy cf their sires should they do more '
■than offer the hand of friendship to those ,
who overcame ’them. Neither the fathers j
nor the sons of the South were born to
bow the neck or bend the suppliant knee.
That was a graceful and. at the same |
time substan'tial compliment paid Rev. J. I
L. White by -the congregation of the First
Baptist church in voting him SIOO for a i
Christmas present as token of their es- j
teem and approval.
Cotton and Commerce.
Cotton manufacturing is too firmly es
tablished in the South to be destroyed by
New England competition, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, in a very in
teresting editorial. Even should labor con
ditions at the South be the same as in the
North, cotton manufacturers there will still
’ enjoy the advantage of neariess to the cot
ton fields. This might be offset to some
extent by greater cheapness of capital at
the North, but nothing more. In any
event, rivalry between Northern and
Southern manufacturers would inevitably
result again in overproduction, the very
thing from which New England cotton in- .
dustry is suffering now. The main hope '
of the cotton industry, South as, well as
North, is in uossession of new and growing j
market, and at no time in the history of
the country have conditions been so favor
able to possession of such markets as now.
In Cuba and Porto Rico American concn
manufacturers ought to have a practical .
monopoly in the trade, ip cotton fabrics.*
In addition to the thorough organization
of the American cotton industry, these
islands Ve at our ve y door, and American
manufacturers enjoy just so much advant
age ever British German and French
competitors. This is particularly true of
ISouthern cotton manufacturers. With
adoption of reciprocity treatiese still other
markets will be open -to cotton goods in
Central and South America. Most of the
cotton fabrics consumed by the latter are
produced in ‘Europe, and this. too. in ab
sence <f iiade treaties. All that is needed
to cupplant 'them with "American goods,
especially with adoption of reciprocal
trade arrangements, is a display cf enter
prise and push on the part of American
manufacturers.
According to a Washington dispatch to
the New York Herald, Judge Day, late of
the peace commission, is slated by Presi
dent McKinley for the first vacancy on the
bench of the United States supreme court
that may occur during this admtsistration.
Bryan’s Words.
These timely words of W J. Bryan
ought to find echo in the mini of every
true 'Democrat:
“Heretofore greed has perverted the gov
ernment and used its instrumental inter
•ftrences for private gafn. but now the very
foundation principles of our government
are assaulted. The imperialistic idea is
directly antagonistic to the ideals which
have been cherished by the American peo
ple since the signing of the Declaration o*
Independence, and our nation must give
up any intention of entering upon a colo
nial policy (such as is now pursued by-
European countries) or it must abandon
the doctrine that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
“We may believe that governments
i come up from the people, or we may be
lieve that governments come down to the
people, from those who possess the heav
test cannon and the largo: ships, but we
cannot advocate both doctrines. To bor
j row a Bible quotation, ‘A house divided
against itself cannot stand;’ paraphrasing
Lincoln's declaration, I may add that this
nation cannot endure half republic and
half colonits—half free and half ra«<al.
Our form of government, our traditions,
our present interests and our future wel
fare all forbid our entering upon a career
of conquest.” *
According to an Eastern exchange the
Spaniards and Cubans are beating their
swords into plowshares on each other’s
heads.
STATE NEWS_AND VIEWS,
It is unfortunate that the president’s
message did not. require revenue stamps.
—’Valdosta Times.
I he best way to get even with a man is
to pay him waar you owe him.—"Cordele
Sentinel.
“You can’t convict a pretty" woman in
New York.”, says District Attorney Mc-
Intyre. —Savannah Press.
D is said-that Alger is in frequent re
ceipt of such letters as one recently writ
ten by a woman who has a son in the bri
gade encaanped at Americus, Ga., which
thus closes: “I venture to make bold to
r. quest that you will’ not start the origade
to Cuba until after December 12, because
my soldier boy has a birthday about that
time, and I want to send him a birthday
cake, with candies, to remind him of home
and mother, and you know the’cake would
not stand transportation to 'Cuba.”
Says the Albany Herald: “The public
eye has been a good deal on Colonel Henry
Ray, of the Third Immuncs, a Georgia
reriment. since he went to Cuba. He
seems to be an all-round soldier.”
The temporary embarrassment of Mr.
M lyes at Camak is regretted by every one.
He is in debt about .$2,500 and his assets
are far over $6,000. Hence, it will be
seen, that Mr. Mayes has not “failed” in
the ordinary sense of the word. He had
Mr. William M. Hawes appointed as as
signee and will have the goods sold for
the benefit of all creditors alike until
every debt is settled, after which he will
resume business as usual. The very low
price of cotton and bad collections brought
about the embarrassment. It is gratify
ing to his friends to know, however, that
he 'j ill be fully able to pay every creditor
100 cents cn the dollar, and resume busi
ness if he desires.—Warrenton. Clipper.
The genial Curtis, cf the Chicago Rec
ord who was one of the most .popular
newspaper men with the president’s party,
managed to catch sight of a Confederate
il-ag waved by an .Augusta lady as the
president’s pageant was driving through
that city. Weare surprised at Curtis, for
we know him to be a jolly good fellow,
as well as an interesting writer. But
Curtis knows that writing up Confederate
Hags is the special province of Mr. John
F. Shriver, of the New York Mail and Ex
press. Shriver came south several years
ago and had orders to note and anathema
tize every Confederate flag which he could
see during his tour. At that time the
Mail and Express was waving the bloody
shirt under the amiable direction of the
late Eliot F. Shepard. Shriver made a
big reputation at that time by his well
known and widely copied letters. On this
tour the correspondents were on the qui
vive for more Ccnfererate flags in order
to turn them over to Mr. Shriver and his
amusing paper. Some of them c-aught
sight of the state flag on the public build
•ing at Savannah and thought they had
ft und the enemy at last, but soon realized
their mistake.
In Augusta, however, they had better
luck. It was while the party was driving
through Summerville, a beautiful and
aristocratic suburb of that city, that Miss
Anna Montgomery, a very accomplished
and patriotic lady, and a relative o Gen
eral Wheeler, waved a handsome Confed
erate flag at" “Fighting Joe’’ and bowed
and smiled at the Santiago soldier. And
yet Curtis insists that the flag was flaunt
ed bi’ some “arbara Frletchie of the south,
some unreconstructed, sis
ter of the Confederacy, who evidently does
not approve of the reconciliation of the
sections nor accept tne gospel of peace and
love. 'lt was her protest, and she waved
it wildly at the president, who smiled and
lifted his hat to her with as much respect
as he would have shown to any woman or
any flag, and he will remember the sight,
too. as long as he lives.”
We regret, that bur frieqd Curtis should
have so misunderstood the significance of
the Confederate flag at the Montgomery
mansion on the Hill. The president, who
saw the occurrence and who smiled and
lifted his hat. doubtless understood it
much better than our genial, out erring,
friend Curtis, of the Chicago Record. —Sa-
vannah Press.
Thefarmer in this day and time must
study bis business with the same close
care and attention to changing conditions
that the merchant and manufacturer give
to theirs. The wholesale merchant who
would at.erupt to do a big business as it
was done twenty-five years ago would
swamp a prettl large capital in short or
der. He would drop out of the race. The
farmer who does not study his soil, who
does not understand the use of fertilizers,
who is content with fifteen bushels of
wheat to the acre when with fertilizer he
could get twenty-five, who does not watch
his surrounding market, who does not ap
preciate the profits in early fruits and
vegetables, in poultry and cattle —this far
mer will also drop out and the man who
believes the world is advancing and that
it has much to teach him will take his
place. We hear farmers discussing with
much earnestness banking and national
finances, expansion and anti-expansion,
the tariff and a merchant marine, but do
they know what salts rhe soil they culti
vate contains, what it will best bring forth
and what is the proper treatment for it
to receive? The proper education of the
farmer and the best way to get him to
take an interest in his own business, as
paradoxical as the statement seems, is a
subject which contains great responsibil
ities.—Americus Recorder.

Captain Sigsbee has a watch that has
ben submerged in salt water three times.
It went down in Japanese waters years
ago. At Bahai Honda, in 1878, when a
Spanish pilot grounded his vessel, the
Blake. It had another salt-water bath,
the vessel being flooded to prevent her
pounding to pieces cn the rocks. At Ha
•vana it went down with the Maine, but
was recovered by a diver. When the war
broke out and Captain Sigsbee took com
mand of the St. Paul he wisely left his
watch at home, thinking it indiscreet to
risk it again in Cuban waters.
There are two curious coincidences in
connection with -the Mary Washington
hospital at Fredericksburg, Va., ground
for which has just been broken. George
Washington Smith, who was born on
Washington’s • birthday, drew the plans,
and George ’Washington, who also first saw
the light on February 23. will superintend
the work of building. Both are Freder
icksburg men.
“George, I’ll have to have another $20.”
“Gracious goodness, Clara!” “Well.
George, it’s all your, fault: you said I’d
better make cheap Christmas presents this
year instead cf buying them.’”
That there is after all some sort of
“honor among thieves” is shown by a re
cent communication to a leading paper of
Palermo. Sicily. Candino, a noted bri
gand, writes that one Galbo, a notorious
member of his band, has been expelled for
“discourteous and unmannerly conduct in
his dealings with the public.”
Jamie —“Pa. what is ‘les e majeste’?’’

Recent investigations have shown that
the principal source of the gulf stream is
not the Florida channel, but the region be
tween and beside the islands of the West
Indies. At Binioni the volume of this
warm water is sixty times as great as the
combined volume of all the river in the
world at their mouths.
“How well Mrs. Plollet holds her age!”
“Yes. she doesn't look a day older than
she says she is.”
Sir Thomas Lipton, challenger for the
America cup, has offered to come to the
relief of the distressed English colony of
Barbadoes. He is prepared to invest $5,-
000,000 in the sugar industry of that island
and has named to the British government
a few easily-filled conditions.

"‘lt’s all foolishness to talk about any

monial game,” declared the big man with
a silk hat and a loud suit of clothes.
“How’s that?” “Marriage is always a

In a newly designed trunk, patented ’by
a New York woman, the bottom is formed
of several trays, which slide in from the
front of the trunk, and are locked by keys,
making a handy receptacle for dresses,
which can be removed as desired without
disturbing the whole pile.
“Miss Hiland—er—l know what I want
to say, but —er—l don’t know how to ex

“Express yourself. Mr. Homewood," Miss
Hiland cut in, “won’t the railroad people
let you travel as a first-class passenger?”

Statistics show that on an average every
