Thursday Morn mg, APRIL 4, 1895
Messrs, ihomas D. Stewart, J. W. |
Alexander and Wilson Pullen, live I
and progressive citizens of McDon i
ougb ai e behind a movement to |
build a cotton factory in that town, j
and it is pretty well settled that the I
mill will be erected.
At a church meeting, not over
thousand miles from here, the inqui¬
ry was made whether a certain law¬
yer of the congregation, whose finan
cial affairs were somewhat involved,
bad “got religion,” to which another
lawyer responded, “no, I think not,
unless it is in his wife’s name.”
The St. Louis Post Dispatch says
that the annexation of Cuba might
be ruinous to American interests if
high tariff theories are correct. The
Cuba sugar planters get eight crops
where our planters get only two. and
their cane is much sweeter. Annex¬
ing Cuba would make its sugar for¬
ever free to the American consumer.
The Savannah News is about cor¬
rect when it says : “If it is true
that Gov. McKinley’s managers are
trying to shut the negro out of the
Republican party they had as well
give up the job as hopeless. The
southern Republican party cannot
shake the negro on the same princi
pal that the tail can’t shake the dog.”
The Homer Gazette has come to
the conclusion that the happiest peo
pie in the world are those who keep
out of debt, out of politics, out of
lawsuit*, out of office, who shun no
totiety, make an honest living by
honest means, humbly serve the liv¬
ing God; quietly pursue the even
tenor of their way, and neglect no
opportunity of doing good.
Perhaps the largest pear tree in
the state stands just outside the yard
of Mrs. John M. Davis, near Madi¬
son. By actual measurement it is
six feet and four inches in circumfer
ence one foot above the ground, and
will measure fully thirty-five feet in
bight. Its bran'ches cover an area
with a radius of thirty feet. It is
no doubt sixty years old.
A country quill-driver expresses
the opinion that this is an age when
short and incisive sermons are de¬
manded. He is most successful in
the pulpit who rapidly passes over
the tedium of details and quickly
grasps the main issue. Many a man
lias found to his great sorrow that by
lengthening his sermon he has shor¬
tened his congregation.
Montgomery Folson, in the Rome
Tribune, truly says : “There is noth¬
ing so profoundly beautiful as a
mother’s love. I am impressed with
it more than ever as the years go by,
separating me still farther and far¬
ther from the memories of one who
sleeps beneath the budding violets
now. It is an impression that is
grounded in the soul of every well
regulated man. He may have no
other sentiment about him, but mem
cry of his mother endures while there
is a fluttor in his pulse or a throb of
life in his bosom.”
The Savannah News has discover¬
ed that there are unmistakable signs
of business improvement in the east
and south. The tendency toward
better times is positive, but gradual.
Many business men, however, still
talk despondently because they ex
j ected that after the adjournment of
congress there would be a business
boom. They expected too much. It
is true the export of gold has ceas¬
ed, and congsess. with its financial
vagaries, is numbered with the things
O f the past, but because the way has
been opened for better times it does
not follow that better times will
come at ouce They will come slow- J
ly and almost imperceptibly.
BETTER THAN BONDS.
Major John F. Hanson, who owns
an interest in the Porterdale Mills,
near Covington, and has stock in
other cotton factories, said to a re
the other day that “Instead of
going ahead and placing our money
in factories, which we say will .pay
20 per cent on the investment, we
buy Georgia 2£ per cent, bonds at
p ar or above. Does that look encou r
aging to those who might come among
us?” Continuing, the Major said
a What we in the South want is com¬
petent men in every line of rnanu
facture, and our people must be
taught to invest in our enterprises.
They will do this when the safety of
such investments are insured ; not
before. There is home money enough
if properly invested, and enough tnl
ent, among us here, if properly train
ed, to succeed in many useful lines
of production. The lesson that the
South wants to learn more than all
others is self reliance. \Y r hen that
lesson is thoroughly learned over
half the battle of putting factories
and other industries in the South
will be won.”
The Rome Tribune sums up the
situation thusly : “The North and
East desire cheap cotton and cheap
cheap food and a good price for man
ufaelured goods; the \Y r est wants
cheap goods and a good price for
grain and other provisions ; in the
South we clamor for cheap food and
cheap goods and a big price for cot
ton, and so it goes all over this great
country. But out of all this rest
lessness and dissatisfaction a greater
prosperity will come to us.”
The war in Guba is liable to prove
of some benefit to the truck growers
of Georgia and Florida. The first
potatoes of the season that reach
New York are from Havana. The
revolutionary movement is interfer
ing with the shipment of vegetables
from Havana, so that new crop Cuba
potatoes are scarce and high.
A number of Coviugton merchants
have received an elegant line of new
spring and summer goods Scan our

The proceeds of the tax on bache
lors in Illinois will be devoted to the
erection of a home in which to cave
and provide for worthy and indigent
single women who have reached the
age of 38 years and upward. *
