OUB EXPORTS OF COTTON.
The pretent year bids fair to bo a
record-breaker in cotton exports with
the probable exception of the year
3898-99, though the amount of money
received from our light exports last
year will exceed the exports of this
year by many million dollars. Our
shipments .to the old world for the
month of March, this year, was G96,<
080 bales, against 305,973 bales for the
corresponding month of last year. For
tbo seven months of tho present sea
son, from September 1 to April 1, our
exports have amounted to G,303,202
bales, against 5,292,590 bales for the
previous year.
Though there were more than a
million bales moro of exports this sea
son than last, tho money from it was
much less than for the smaller ship
ments. Our more than six million
bales of cotton brought us only $294,-
000,000, whllo Just a little more than
flvo million bales for tho year bofore
brought over $322,000,000. Despite tho
fact that our cotton exports for the
past seven months are moro than for
tho whole of tho previous year, they
would have been much larger had
there not been such an active demand
among American mills, and had tho
farmers not clung to their determina
tion to hold tho staple back for higher
prices.
There la a very strong probability
that the opening up of China to the
.world’s trade, the cessation of hostili
ties in tho Orient and the continued
expansion of American commerce will
create a demand for a 14,000,000-bale
crop of cotton, but that time has not
yet arrived. As a matter of fact, the
cotton mill men soem to have bought
cotton^very largely at the recent lo
tnblr own warehouses
are now full of the staple, which thoy
nro holding against a possible ad-
vanco later in tho year. This cotton
may also bo used as a leverage to pre
vent any rlso in prices for the next
crop. All of tho signs seem to point
out tho path of wisdom for tho farm
ers, via: Make tho farm as near
self-sustaining as possible this year,
nnd don’t go in debt to raise cotton.
WHAT WILL TOGO D07
The ears of the whole world are
listening attentively for news from
the clash of the Russian and Japan
ese fleets in the Eastern seas. The
Russians, according to the dispatches,
are in French waters, taking on pro
visions and coal and preparing for
the run to Vladivostok or to give bat
tle to Togo, if it is precipitated. What
Togo will do In the present critical sit
uation is being watched almost as at
tentively as the outcome of the fight.
Never in the history of the world
has a greater prize hung upon the Is
sue of a naval engagement. Victory
for Russia means control of the East
ern waters and an easy victory over
Japan in Manchuria, for it would
mean that the Japanese are cut off
from their home supplies, their army
In Manchuria without food or recruits
from home, and even the Japanese
coast at the mercy of the Russians.
Victory for Japan would mean that
the Japs will continue to send men to
Manchuria, and that a long, hard war
Is to he fought between the two na
tions on land.
The Russian fleet under Admiral
Rojestvensky is not only larger than
tho Japanese squadron, but it is v
ing for three other larger battleships,
and may be Joined by the Vladiv
tok squadron, which Is composed of
several first class cruisers. Should
these three fleets form a juncture
Japanese will have a problem beforo
them which will tax their resources to
the utmost. Admiral Togo could hard
ly be expected to challenge such
fleet to a combat, but the Mikado will
most assuredly expect him to
something to that fleet.
* What will Togo do? Admiral Dewey
believes that he will strike a quick
blow when It Is least expected,
would bo like the Japanese to catch
tho Russians In some sort of a trap,
and It may be that Togo will single
out Russian ships and smash them
and then take to tho high seas until
tho opportunity for striking another
blow presents itself. Between the
Japanese mine#, the Japanese torpedo
boats and the shrewdness of the little
(brown Turin, ^jestvensky has
much ns he can do to keep his fleet
intact, even If the Japanese do not of
fer battle before Vladivostok
reached.
Governor Terrell pitched the first
ball for tho Atlanta team Wednesday.
If tho governor can hold the baseball
vote during tho summer months lie
can got nny oflleo that he may aspire
to.
Joseph Jefferson Is reported at the
point of death at his home In South
Florida, but the agod actor equals
Curdlnal Richelieu In his recuperative
powors. 9
There are so many different brands
of Democracy theso dayB that almost
any man can Join Dave Hill In his de
claration, "I am a Democrat.”
Even tho talk about government
ownership by prominent Democrats
will bo n handicap upon the party In
the next campaign.
Nan did not got young men on her
Jury, but she may be able to work her
psychic cyo on the older ones—pro
vided thoy are old enough.
Tho peach crop lias been killed only
three times up to date, but, like the
floccy staple, it may bo expected to
coino again.
Tho fellow who Is too busy to read
bis homo paper is generally at work
for some man who takes time to
read It.
The fishing smacks tn the China
sea will remain close to tho shore un
til Admiral Rojestvensky takes his
departure.
Graft seems to have been written
all over tho Equitable Life Insurance
Company, but tho sleuths are on tho
trheks of tho grafters.
Togo has been ordered to go into
the China sea and sink Rojeatrensky's
fleet, so something may drop In that
quarter about Sunday.
Andrew Carnegie prefers honest,
poor men to worthless dukes for tho
Camegle girls. Andy reasons well.

PARKER’S TRIBUTE TO SOUTH
In his Jefferson day speech last
week, Judge Alton B. Parker paid the
following tributo to the South:
“Surpriso is sometimes expressed
that the South has remained solid, nnd
t no student, whatever his preju
dice. could overlook the fact that in
politics there is n sense of gratitude,
not for favors expected, but for unsel
fish and commanding services to hu
manity. Indeed, nothing in all the re-
•orded history of mankind has been
more pathetic, more heroic, moro do
ing of admiration nnd sympathy,
than tho attitude of the South since
18G5. As fnte would have it, their de
feat In war was the smallest of their
*s, because it could neither threat-
nor bring dishonor. But the new
contest—with partisan rancor, with
Hilary power, with* theft nnd rob
bery, with poverty nnd tho enforced
domination of a race lately In shiv
y—forced ns It was without time
r recovery, nnd that, too, In their
vn homes, required n courage little
ss than Superhuman.
"Maintaining the struggle with tho
le great nnd almost Insoluble prob
lem of our time, working under the
most serious difficulties, courageous in
the face of many discouragements,
those people have mnnfuliy represent
ed the hopes, the ideals nnd traditions
of their country nnd the logic ns well
ns tho heroism of our national history,
If any man Is so foolish ns to ask why
the Democratic party has been true
to tho South, In its time of trial, and
why this attachment has been requi
ted, It must be because he knows little
of history and less of human nature.”

Ring out, O Bells of Easter!
Ring out and let your mirth.
Your gladsome chime, your chant sub
lime,
Resound thruoghout the earth 1
Ring loud to the clouds of Heaven!
Ring out, and shont to the hills!
Sing the Risen Lord, by all adored
Till the world frith the music
thrills!
Lift up, O golden organ,
Your deep, majestic voice.
And let your peal make the temple
reel
And the heart of the world rejoice
Send forth your deepest ocean-tones,
Your golden thunders roll!
Triumphant sing the Conquering King,
And the Sunburst of the soul!
And thou, O sweet soprano.
Send forth your soul like a dove
On the trembling wing of song until
It rings
Ar the golden gates of Lov<^
Sing high, sing loud, till the silver
cloud s
Takes up the strain with might,
And the choirs above in the Land of
Love
With the choirs below unite!
And ye, O purest preachers.
Ye lilies on the altar high,
I,et your tongues of flame proclaim
His Name, !
Whose glories fill the sky!
Let your fragrance fine to Heaven as
cend
In praise of Him who rent
The bonds of the tomb, and rose on
the gloom
Like the sun in the firmament!
Ring out, O Bells of Easter!
Ring, swing In the belfry tall,
And to every heart your joy impart,
Bring love unto but and hall!
I^et your merry din expel all sin
And the Resurrection tell,
Of souls that lay like lifeless cl*y
In the tomb and the gloom of hell!
