SATURDAY. JANUARY C>, 1900,
Ai soon iu on. Wheeler arrived in
the Phi ippiuca Gen. Oris deliberately
nut down upon liim, nnd line kept In in

Secretary Long i* s' ill trying to pre
vail upon Ojngreaft to recognise Samp
eon ee the hero of Oervera'e defeat, nnd
Hampton, with tho complnocnt mean
nefta of it atall-fed hog, is entirely willing
to receive an honor which he knows ho
dot* not deserve.
Gen. Leonard Wood line been appoint
ed Governot-Goneral of Cuba, lie will
fill the office worthily and well, but Gen.
Filxlmgli Lee ought to hare received the
appointment, and wonld have received
it but for the fact that he is a Confeder
ate Veteran and a Democrat,
Nearly every office In the gift of tho
people ia lo be filled this year, and hot
campaigna may ho expected. Tho Dem
ocrats will nominate Bryan ; the Ibipali
oans will rely npou McKinley and the
trusts, and the I'opulixts—well, sensible,
patriotic Populists see that their parly
cannot aocoompliah any good, and will
Vote with the Democrats.
The dr a Ifni malady called the bu
bonic plague, lias appeared in Manila
and Honolulu, and many scientists be
lieve that it will yisit nearly every sec
tion of the world. It spreads rapidly,
i extremely fatal, and the doctors know
practically nothing as to how it should
be treated. If it should galu a foothold
in this country the possibility of its rav
ages is appalling.
Several weeks ago General Otia an
nounced tlmt he Imd captured a dozen
barrel* containing the nebulous garments
of Mrs. Agiiinul 10, and now proudly as
sarts that he lias captured that iutcroting
female herself. Maybe lie lias caught
another Jeff Duvis in disguise. Anyhow,
lie has displayed masterly generalship,
aud ought to come huinn aud go iuto tho
hero business.
Tho Republicans'in Congress have re
pudiated tluur platform, and will use
their present power to fix the gold
standard upon the people. One of tho
immediate effects of this action will be
the addition of more than $00,000,000 to
the value of United Htat.es bonds, Thu
Republicans, tho bondholders and the
trusts nre having everything their own

$3,000 CASH PRIZE CONTEST.
The Atlanta Constitution's Great Offer of 1900—The Cotton Re
ceipts at New Orleans from September to April—Full Statis
tics Given for Your Guidance—An Unparalelled Offer for Our
Readers.
The Atlanta Constitution offers a $3,000
cssh prize contest for January, February
and March, 1900, as follows:
To the person sending a yearly sub
scription to Th Weekly Constitution, to
gether with the correct estimate on the
cotton receipts at Now Orleans during
the first seven months of the present
cotton year (September I, 1899, to April
1, 1900)
11.600 if estimate le received during
January.
SI,OOO if estimate Is received during
February.
S9OO if cstJmats is received during March.
Tho above are for the exact estimates;
there are bcMld an these !x prizes, rang
ing along, S6OO, S4OO, $260. $l6O, $126 and $75.
amounting to $1,600, that will be paid out
sure for the six nearest estimates to
Orleans cotton receipts at any
time during the three months of tho con
test. Hut you hit It exactly during Jan
uary and secure tho full sl,soo prize
check.
The Constitution believes somebody will
hit the figures exactly and expects to
pay out the full amount of the prizes
offered—s3,ooo in all. In a Constitution
contest upon the name subject in 1896
Mr. It. T. Poole, of Capels Mills, N. C.,
hit the exact figures and received a
check for SI,OOO as his prize. Mr. Poole
did not try to swell himself up at once,
but very generously paid off a mort
gage on his father's home place and with
the balance ho very wisely educated him
self at Trinity college, Durham, N. C. He
I* now doing well In business in North
Carolina and lives still near his old home.
It is needless to say he Is a warm friend
ff The Constitution.
Asa guide In making estimates upon
tho New Orleans fort receipts, The Con
stitution gives the following figures, com
piled from statistics of the past four
years:
N. O. reef*. N. n. reef*. Total TJ. 8.
WKAHON. 1- whole year, crop for
Mcu. I* Bep.l-AuK.BI. season.
1896-96 1.620.974 1.812.167 7.157,346
1896- 1.936.587 2,102,470 8,757,964
1897- 2,432,315 2.576,165 11.199,991
1898- . , 1,864,168 2,130,296 11,274,80
The Constitution's market page will
give each week the port, receipts for the
cotton season from which you can always
ree the New Orleans port receipts from I
September 1, 1899, up through the Friday
Immediately preceding tho publication.
This will keep you posted to within two
or three days of tho time you send In
your estimate.
It Is believed that some of the Texas
crop, that as a rule Is sent In hulk to
New Orleans, will he diverted this year
to other points because of tho quaran
tine regulations against New Orleans.
Tho effort of l/oulslann to have quaran
tine raised by injunction from United
States courts will not havo very soothing
effect upon the direction of cotton ship
ments to New Orleans. This Is mentioned
filinply ns a pointer in making up esti
mates; how much to allow, If anything,
for this cauxo must be loft to each man a
Judgment.
The $3,000 contest Is nn express contract
lo which The Constitution will stand in
every particular. Tet It Is In Its naturs
simply an advertisement by which The
Constitution, combined with this paper
may be made better known in this com
munity. Send us the subscription to Th
Constitution and our paper at the ad
vertised price of tho two nd with it
your estimate on tho New Orleans port
rscelpts, and wo will forward all together
for you. On April Ist we trust a $1,500
check will reach some of our subscribers
to help mnke times even mo. j easy
round about us.

Important congress that has ever as
sembled, the beginning of the Issues of
the presidential campaign of this vear
and the debates and speeches during Us
progress; the final result of the Novem
ber elections, the development of the
south's great Industrial movements; di
versified farm and village Industries and
thousands of other important things wi’.l
he found fully and freely discussed in The
Weekly Constitution for the year. The
Farm nnd Farmers' page, the Womnn's
Kingdom, the Southern Pulpit, the Chil
dren’s Phgo and other interesting depart
ments will be ably conducted nnd will
he especially adapted to those addressed.
The ringing editorials of The Constitution
speaking right out in meeting exactly
whnt it means in the advocacy of true
democratic doctrine and In behalf of the
great Interests of the masses of our plain
people, and protecting them from the
grasping greed of those who would wring
their comings from their helpless hands,
are alone worth the subscription price
of the paper over nnd again.
The Constitution has long stood as the
'•hamplon of the people and hss sent Its
shafts deep into the errors nnd evils that
threaten artd beset ihe masses. Its com
plete expose of the methods of Neill, of
New Orleans, nnd the shattering of the
Influence of this prophet of big cotton
crops, and apostle of ruinously low prices
nnd high priest of robbery, who has cos*
the southern formers hundred?? of million'*
of dollars, ought to win for The Consti
tution the lasting gratitude of the whole
south. The advle 0 to farmers to organ
ise against the trust that would increase
tho price of fertilizers and fertilizer ma
terials for the home compost heap, and
taking up the cudgel in behalf of the
farmers against the combination that
would put a fresh burden upon them, is
sound and valid, and ought to he heeded.
The bulwark of the people's rights and
the best method of defense will often be
found in a great paper, ably and fearless
ly edited, upon which tho people may rely,
not only for news of the ordinary events
of government, army and political life,
but also for an alort foresight of the trend
of future events that may operate to our
lasting damage. The downfall of Neill;
tho breaking down of the fertilizer trust,
tho upbuilding of nil southern interests,
and the enlightenment of every village,
farm and mountain home are among The
Constitution’s many high aims and great
Ideas for 1900. That these interests may
all he well served, and with the same un
swerving fidelity to tho people that The
Constitution has always shown, goes
without saying.
The management of The Constitution,
with Mr. Clark Howell as editor-ln chief,
and his well disciplined corps of staff
writers, brilliant contributors and special
correspondents, still under the faithful
leadership of Colonel William A. Hemp
hill as business manager, will remain the
same for the new year. The Constitu
tion's long and honorable business course,
keeping faith with the people in all its
contracts, contests and engagements, as
well Hi In Its consistent and conspicuous
editorial fairness, places It among those
reliable Institutions of our country on
which the people may depend.
With such a great general newspaper,
covering the world news and world and
national questions, y*>u will, of course,
need the best and llvest local paper, giv
ing current local topics and the latest
and best news and freshest comments
upon events of local Interest. We trust
this combination secured with The Coi
Btliutlon will he found best suited to aU
oar readers. The price Is merely nominal
