VOL. III. Editorialettes judging from the way fate treats him, the Hon. L. C. Chang must be a democrat also. Let us have less talk abbut.“liard times” and more to say about the “hog and hominy” that is in the country, or ought to be. New York is to have another fashion and society show at which* horses williae present. The quaint little women of Kate Greenaway are to be seen in a magazine for the first time since their creation. Miss Greenaway has heretofore always drawn them in color and for book publication. Now, however, she is at work i<p- 6n a special series of her curious tots for The Ladies’ Home Jour¬ nal, and in. that periodical they will alternate with a new series of Pal mer Cox’s funny “Brownies.” It does not make the time^any better to be continually talking about “hard times”, but has a ten¬ dency to make the people restless and dissatisfied, though they may have more of the necessaries of life than they have had for years. Therefore it behooves everybody to present the bright, side 6f the situ¬ ation, let confidence and brotherly love take the place of bickerings an d\ political discussions, and the people will soon again be the hap pv, contented people that they once were. Try it. The bids for foundations of the Agriculture, Forestry and Electrici¬ ty Buildings for the Cotton States and International Exposition were opened and the contract was awar¬ ded to the General Construction Company, of Atlanta, last week. On Saturday the bids for the en¬ tire Fine Arts Building were open¬ ed and the contract was let. On Monday, the 19th, the chief of con¬ struction advertised for bids on all other buildings. The work on the grounds, which has delayed the buildings until recently, is now about done and the great structures will rapidly. t go up The discussion of what the stan¬ dard finance of the country ought to be, by so many people that don’t know one thing in the world about it has become an ear sore, and should be discontinued by at least those who can’t distinguish a silver dollar from a tobacco tag. Better agk your neighbor Row much his killing hogs weighed, and what ad¬ dition he had to make to his barn in order to store his crop of corn and fodder and then tell him about yours, that is, if you have not been attending political meetings and discussing free silver all the time and have’nt got any hogs or barn either. Dissatisfaction. We occasionally hear some one is not satisfied with the Democrat¬ ic nominees for county officers. Well, we don’t want the votes of the dissatisfied ones, for they are not democrats. We are a demo¬ cratic people, and a democratic county and state, both in principle and in politics. These razor back kickers who prowl around the country crying -hard times and that the democrat-, ie party is responsible, and the on Iy relief is to be found in the peo¬ ple’s party, is an ass, and if he had a bell on his neck everybody would recognize him on sight, and not be compelled to wait till he opened his mduth to talk to find it out. The third party can’t and won’t poll 500 vote* with all the dis gruntled, half breed democrats thrown in. The democratic nomi oees are all good men and will make faithful and efficient officers and if you are a sensible man and do your own thinking you will vote 'the ticket straight, but if you are a Jack ass and a fool you will vote some other ticket. --*-*--— Read about the splendid Thanks giving gift for all our .2 her column. . . 4 T'l HE .• _ ~ j- ---------, " T . ^ r * ^ . - 5 ,' A W " Ffl •'■ V J .

Tokio,November 20.—It is learn¬ ed that the Japanese government has sent its reply to the note of United States Minister Dunn ing whether a tender by the presi¬ dent of the United States of his good offices in the interests of re¬ storing peace in the east would be agreeable to Japan. Before reach¬ ing a conclusion tlie ministry gave the matter consideration for sever¬ al days and finally stated to Mr. Dunn that although the friendly sentiments which prompted the government and people of the Uni¬ ted States were deeply appreciated, the success of the Japanese array had been such that China should approaclp- Japan directly on the subject. In view of the absence of Chinese and Japanese diplomatic relations at Peking and Tokio, re¬ spectively, this would imply that any communication* between the two governments would be made through the American ministers to China and Japan, who, since the outbreak of the war, have had in charge the interests of the two countries.
