Covington is going to handle
20,000 bales of cotton tins season
—1,8000 here already—thus es¬
tablishing a new record,
Very little game is to lie seen
tn the Covington market. In fact
the shooting of craps is about the
only kind of shooting being done
dn this vicinity.
Three gentlemen were in Cov¬
ington one day last week iooking
for homes to the end of moving
here. And all thiee of them Now
reside u: neighboring towns.
With the rank and file of the
democratic party it is "irrevocably
established” that William Jennings
Bryan„is a greater man and a more
successful political leader than
Judge Alton B.^Parker.
Covington need more houses,
residences, and needs them badly.
This seems to be a matter that
could properly be discussed by the
Commercial League. More houses
■means more peoble to be fed and
clothed, thereby benefitting the
merchant.
The effort that has been started
for the organization of a Y. M.
C. A. is a worthy movement and
should enlist the aid and cooper¬
ation of every citizen of Coving¬
ton who is interested in the civic,
moral, religious and educational
welfare of the city.
Williams Jmikiugs Bryan, sev¬
eral months ago mercilessly abus¬
ed and threatened with politiccl
ostracism by leading Democratic
(so-called) newspapers throughout
the country is again the idol of
Democracy. His loyalty to prin¬
ciple and faithfulness to the cause
of the messes will yet make him
president of the United States.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri,
has been tendered the ithimian
canal comrnissionership by Presi¬
dent Roosevelt lt is to be hep
ed that this appointment is the
beginning of the coucilliatory
policy toward the south which the
president’s friends have recently
promised would hereafter mark
liis administration,
There are three things that Cov¬
ington should have within the
1 .ext twelve months; viz., A pub¬
lic auditorium .at, the Academy
Springs, aY. M. C- A. and a coun¬
ty Agricultural fair Of course
other needed improvements might
be mentioned, but these are less
expensive and easier of accom¬
plishment. The advantages ot
-each will be set forth in these col¬
umns at a-later issue.
Lewis Gregg’s cartoon in Sun
■day’s Constitution, representing
President Roosevelt on his expect¬
ed Southern visit, was the best we
have yet seen from the pen of that
clever artist. The picture shows
Roosevelt as he is in the act of en
t p ring the South’s back-yard,
astride a negro buck, entitled,
“The Polical Negro,” when he is
met by little Miss South, who with
■her finger in her mouth and holding
her dolly behind her, says to the
president:‘‘Yon may come in, but
jcu must tie your horse outside.”

Boykin Wright for Governor.
H.»n. Boykin Wright, of Au
gusta, is squarely in the race tor
governor of Georgia at the elec
t , on j n iQOfi. Mr. Wright was in
Atlanta on Saturday, and ju an¬
swer to a straight question fired
at him by the Atlanta corres
pondent of , the Macon ~ telegraph, , .

• I am going to make the race for
governor. I am in the race now
and don t see wel. how 1 can get
out of :t. I have received much
encouragement from friends in
manv sections of the state ’ and

c nnes
a vigorous campaign. ,, That Mr. ,

“
A Strong Stroke for Decency.
The decision that in the nine
congregations of Trinity Church
and its chappeis in this city no
divorce person shall hereafter be
remarried is a trumpet-call to re¬
form everywhere to rally against
what the venerable Dr. Dix well
calls "the scandal and disgrace ot
American name throughout the
world.”
It is weli that Trinity should
take this stand. It represents
that section.of idle American so¬
ciety which has in the past done
much harm by widely advertised
examples of material promiscuity.
And as Dr. Dix says, "if the So¬
ciety people of New York should
refuse to receive persons who mar¬
ried again while their origonalwives
or husbands were living the whole
disgusting tendency would be
checked within twelve months.”
The action of Trinity is a begin¬
ning. It furnishes a rallying-point
for reform. It is n strong stroke
in the irresponsible conflict for
tile home.
Bryan on immortality.
Here are William J. Brynu't i
ideas of immortality, the.v are lit
to be preserved in every scrap
book and repeated to the clildren
and grown people alike. He Bays:
"I shall not. believe tlmt this
life is extinguished. If the Fa¬
ther designs to touch with divine
power the cold ar.d pulseless heart
of the buried acorn and make it
burst forth from its prison walls
will He leave neglected in earth
the soul of a man who was made
in the image of his creator? If
he stops to give the rosebush whose
withered blossoms lloat upon the
bieeze one sweet assurance of an¬
other springtime will He withhold
the words of hope from the sons
of men when frosts of winter come?
If matter mute and inanimate
though changed by the force of
nature into a multitude of forms
can never die will the imperial
spirit of man suffer annihilation
after it has paid a brief visit like
a royal guest to this tenement of
clay?
“Rather let us believe that He,
who in His apparent prodigality
wastes not the raindrops, the
blade of grass, or the evening’s
dying zephyr, but makes them all
to carry out His plans, has given
immortality to the motal. y »

phers, , Ac, ' 0 he '' < ““ »aa K tu born of Sxedl.h ‘"“ft
parents, and at an early age he
Wilg forced to go to work to sup¬
port a frail mother and a drunken
father. From the time he was
fourteen years old, the boy was
practically the sole support of a
large family. But he did what he
could.
In view of this condition, his
schooling was naturally meager,
but he educated himself until he
was sufficiently equipped to edit a
country newspaper. This work
gave him knowledge of men and
public allairs and strengthened m
him the determination to succeed
in spite of obstacles which gener¬
ally discourage less ambitious
young men.
Young Johnson was soon elected
to the state senate, where he serv¬
ed his constituents faithfully and
fearless! v.
Accepting the democratic nomi¬
nation for governor, Mr. Johnson
began an active and vigorous can¬
vas in the state. IIis opponents
observing the popularity which he
was. gaining so rupeliy. circulated
over the stale, ten days before the
election, a story to the effect that
iiis mother was a washerwoman
and 1 hat his father was a drill k ird
and had died in the poorh mse.
A public writer mve-tigated the
facts in connection with Johnson’s
early lite and told the true story
of his struggles, his defeats and
his achievements. The article was
first published in the Minneapolis
Journal, an influential republican
paper and was given wide circula¬
tion by the independent republi¬
can press throughout the state,
creating a landslide in his f it vor
on election day.
Steady at 9^ cents for good mid
diing, the cotton market was quiet
and inatureless yesterday with but
little doing about the warehouses.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused

active so long as exposed to the
air, but when carried beneath the
skin as in the wounds caused by
percussion caps or by rusty nails,
and when the air is excluded the
germ is roused to activity and pro¬
