A PROFIT OF 21 PEII CENT
Marietta, Ga., February 21. —
(Snecial*) The Laurel Mills Manu
factiiring Company, at ibeir annual
meeting, elected all the old officers,
Mr. S. Crowley, president. The
management for the past year lias
been very successful, a profit of 21
per cent being made, and a dividend
of 8 per cent was passed by*. This is
one of Cobb county’s best manufact
uring industries. It is a woolen mill,
and the outlook for continued busi
ness is fine.—Ex.
IIF.AVY ror.ACCO LOSS BY
FIRE.
Quincy, Fla*, February 21.—One of

the Owl Cigar company, of this city,
was burned to the ground this morn

tobacco- The loss may reach SIOOO,
The building and contents are partly

TO CONTESt WILL.
Advices from Paris state that the
will of the millionaire dentist, Thomas
W. Evans, who attempted to bequeath
the most of his fortUDO, amounting to
something like $lO, 000. 000, to the
establishment of a dental institute
and mnscums named after himself* in
Philadelphia, is to be contested*
The matter came up in the l’alais
de Justice Saturday and a lawyer,
representing Rudolph 11. Evans,
brother of the famous dentist, announ
ced that he would contest ilia will,
thaugh by so doing he forfeits §lO,-
000 left lilm by his brother, a clause
in the will disinheriting any legatee
who shall attempt to contest. —Ex.
Comrade J. Pierpont Morgan
started for Europe again the other
clay. Our worthy brother brother
crosses the ocean on a matter of mere
business detail, couneeted with the
furthering of the Socialist movement
in America. Some people get an
gry and even swear at Morgan.
Others bitterly rebuke me for claim
ing Morgan as a comrade. They
say that Morgan is no Socialist- Yet
Morgan is a Socialist for—private
profit’ He is the greatest organizer
of industries the world has yet pro
duccd, and in this country Morgan,
it appears to me, is preparing the
way for the common ownership of
property. He is concentrating in
dustries —getting them under one
head and system 1 zed—so that should
the government take them, the only
thing needful would be to reduce the
working hours sufficiently to employ
all men at fair wages. Let Morgan
alone. His present trip to Europe
is to maks arrangements fur central
izing tho coal businsss. When he
gets back there will be but one com
pany digging and selling coal in
Pennsylvania. Already Comrade
Morgan has fixed it so that only one
company handles coal in New York
city. This gives 1,000 retailers
t'me to think about economic change
and evolution; and by concentrating
the distiibutiug headquarters nearly
10, 000 voting kings Lavs been de
prived of what they call “work.”—

THIS IS LEGAL ItOBBERY.
The Movemeut Which Is Being
Pushed so Vlgoruslyby the
Leading Newspaper of
Georgia Simply an
Effort To
make legalized robbery.
Jt is only too bad, and redieulously
simple to suppose that the meat wise
and free thinking people of Georgia
can be made to believe the now
much talked of movement which bar
for its object the robbing of the large
mass of our toiling Georgians, and for
the upbuilding of a few of our large)
cities to the detriment of ail of oui
many smaller and now almost helpless
little towns and villages; and which
displays the greatest tendancy towarc
centralization of people, money and
power of all movement* that have yet
Keen inaugurated in Georgia; and
which would surely result in tha com
plete userpation of the South’s great
and much begrudged aud matchless
Cotton industry, which if properly
managed could be made u visible ru
ler of the world’s commerce, that a
movement like that would be looked”
upon with favor by a majority of our
voters of Georgia.
Why, friends this is one of the bold
est (if not the boldest) attempts tnnt
yet been made by the moneyed power
to get the laboring classes of onr pco
pic more under the control of the big
trusts and railroad eorporatios.
Not only do they propose to gain
vast quantities of power over the now
struggling inas3 of farmers; but they
go still farther, and with just one big
blow they propose to down all towns
and vi[lages except only a few of the
largest ones in the state, and wh>- h al
ready have splendid railroad and wa
ter transportation facilities.
Do you suppose that Gainesville,
foe instance, could compet with that
beautiful Cily by the sea, Savannah,
in the manuiacture and export of the
chief article of csmmerce, and do you
suppose that you could get Gainesville
to offor eastern capitohsts any better
inducements to locate any kind of an
manufacturing establishment in the
little mountain City, than would be
offered by the big and rich eit> at the
.sea shore, if taxes were not levied at
either plact?
Have you not seen that a company,
with an authorized capital of % 2, 000
f.OO has been formed in Atlanta, Ga.
which is composed of a large
of Atlanta's richest and shrewdest
men, such as Messrs. J. W. English,
T. Ik Neal, \V. A. Hemphill. Frank
P. Rice. W. 1). Grant, R. E. Maddox,
S. M. i email, Hoke Smith, Edward C
Peters, Walker P. Inman,
CharleyA. Collier,
Hugh T. Inman, Robert J. Lowry, J.
D. Turner, Joseph Hirscli, R. D. Spal
ding, G W. Parrott, Frank Hawkins,
Paul Romare and R. 15- Uullodk, who
say in their petition for charter that
“The company does not desire to cre
ate or aid in establishing or maintain -
ing any monopoly, nor in any way to
decrease competition m any trade or
industry; bnt to take stock in other
corporations to
SECURE THEIR LOCATION
AND OPERATION in ATLANTA,
and when so established and opera* ed,
then to sell, exchange or barter snch
stock for stock in such other corpora
lions as may be inaugurated, or which
may remove to ATLANTA or ITS
vicinity, being already oporate else
where and desiring to remove to At
lanta and lecate here ”
Now, fellow citizens of Georgi&l
and inhabitants of small towns throu
ghout Georgia:- It is certainly high
time for you to wake tip to a realiza
tion of the fact that from present nidi
cations around Atlanta, and the Con
stitution and the Atlanta Journal a
very strong inclination toward sup
porting the most powerful and most
dangerous combination, or association
of rich capitalists that the people of
Georeia have overbad to contend with,
in the form of a home Trust exists.
It is to be hoped that his non. J.II
Lumpkin, Judge of the Superior court
of Fulton county will refuse to grant
The Atlanta Manufacturers Associ
ation a Charter; Because, if the men
who’s names appear above, should re
ceive the authority of that court to do
such a business as is outlined in the
above quotation; and with the vast
amount of power they already have,
by their absolute control of about J of
the money; together with the absolute
control of the larger part of the press,
and the Banking busiuess of Fulton
county; and all of this with their close
connection, and in some instances the
actual ownership of the stock and of
the bonds of some of the leading rail
roads entering Atlanta; and because
this samo crowd of Capitalists now
own in fe simple or by first mortgage
nearly all of the most valueable city
property in and around Atlanta; It is,
therefore, very apparent that such an
immensely wealthy combination of
such shrewd and pushing men as are
named in the foregoing, could by
small donation from each, make, and
offer to any contemplated manufactu
ring enterprise such inducements to
locate in Atlanta which would aim
ply mean that it would be worse than
useless for any other towns to even
try to compete against this vastly neb
company which is calculated to ruin
tho bright prospects of hnndrsds of
our fair but small Georgia towns—in
an attmpt to secare the location and
operation of tho many New England
and other rnanufiictureing concerns,
hut are suro to come into these parts
u the email towns
Now, let us all hope that the very
beginning of such terrible work as
Ins company proposes to dc may be
ong de’ayed, if, indeed, it is not ior
jver postponed.
We might well trust that this com
panies’ representative, Mr. Neal, May
never have the honor of occujn ing. a
seat in the House af Representatives
as ft representative of Fulton, our rich
and most thickly settled and ofeourse
most influential county. There fa
rther any measure that will prove to be
beneficial to Atlanta and this crowd
of capitalists at the cost of and injury
of the small towns and the masses of
tbe people of Georgia.

HONEST MEN NOT HIT.
Col. Candler’s litter does’nt .copte
within a thousand nines of fritting
a single honest man in the state.
Why, there are a few politicians and
their followers fighting so hard against
the nomination of Col. Cimdler?
Isn tit because they have axes to
grind, and see in his election tneir
“burial beyond resurrection?”
The.e are men who know they
have not been honest in polities.
Against this class Col* Candler sini
ply sounds a warning noie iu his
much discussed letter. And these
same men also know that their course
is not approved of by the masses, and
so, in order to gain their point they
resort to dishonest means, The
people must be warned against these
tricksters that they may burst the
bonds of ring rule and become their
own masters.—Lyons Courier.

THE MAINE BLOWN UP.
On the 15th inst while our battle
ship Maine lay quietly in the harbor
at Havana, Cuba, at about 10 o’clock
at night; and while- it was in Spanish
waters on a fiiendly visit; ,'but of
conrsc li was not a welcome visit;
and after being anchores to a buoy
under the direction of Spanibh officer,
it was blown all to pieces, either by
a submarine mine of dynamite oi
other high explosives, or by a torpedo,
this as yet is not determined, but the
belief is that it was caused by a strb
marino mine of dynamite. It is be
lieved that it is tbe work o( some of
the officers of the Spanish govern
ment, ny which nearly 800 of our
American Marines were hurled into
eternity.
The vess-d was under command of
Capt Sigsbee, who- death
with only a few others.**
The U. S. Government is now
making an investigation in ordgS’’ to
find just what caused the disaster,
The impression that all of this terri
ble work wa done through Spanish
treachery is xapidly growing.
If the court of inquiry finds that
the wreck was caused by an cxplo
sion of a sub-marine mine or by a
torpedo, the chances for war with
Spain are 99 to 1 against such mean
tires being taken.
The people of the United St"tes
have grown most weary of state of
affairs in Cuba, and while those con.
ditions have as yet not been proven
to be the cause of the late disaster,
still as they arc gatting tired of see
ing our flag disgraced time and
again, there is more demand for
war than has ever been shown since
the Unitad States wtre formed 1
The blowing up of this ship is the
worst insult that we have ever
had. Our people are anxious to
show that our government must be
respected over the entire world.
There are some insults that cannot
be satisfactorely compromised by
money considerations, and this is one
of them. So let us whip Sain and
take absolute charge of Cuba. Or
let Spain release Cuba and turn it
over to the IT. S. so that we mat*
largely pension.all of the families of
the mifoitunale victims and sufferers
of this terrible piece of work.' It*
.would require all or nearly all of the
income from the island for manv
years to reimburse this government
for the damages to our navy, and lor
tqe pensioning of the families of
those met their death while in (he
employ of our government and while
not in actual war;
But rest assured were it not for
the sure death of many uf our citizens
should we resort to war;'and because
it would cost our people large sinus
of money in the event of war: we
would say fight them and teach them
a life long lesson that they must not
molest our ships nor their passengers
while calling on them in time of
peace. Also teach them that they
cannot pay for lives with money.
War is a terrible thing, but if We
cannot get very large sum* of money
say 35 or 50 million dollars then it is
our duty to sirze Cuba, and if the
Spaniards don’t like that, kill the
last one of them that comes upon
that island contrary to - our wishes
and ordersj Down with Spain for -
ever, down with their treafhery!
A CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
I was troubled with liver trouble, and
my stomach w ag out of order, and after
eating my breakfast would throw up
what J eat. It went on this way for
about two years. At Inst, after trying
other remedies without any good effect
I was induced to try Ramon’s Liver
Pills nd Tonic Pellets. After using
one or two boxes I found myself in a
healthy condition. J use them occa
sionally yet, always when in need of
pills. I consider them the best pill on
the market, and feel safe in saying they
are the finest things ever used.—John

A PLAN FOK KEDEMPXION
This Plan Shows That it Is Easy
To Arrange Matters So That
Our Nation’s Chief Staple
(Cottoq) Can he Made
Pay'All of The
State’s Ex
penses.
WOULD EQUALIZE TAXES.
Make Every User Or Cotton In
Any Of Its Many Forms
Beak His Pko-rata Of
‘government EXPENSES.
WILL BENEFIT FARMERS.
While there is so much discussion
why npd how the. reduction of
State taxation is to-lfe solved, in such
a way as to* he satisfactory to all; aiuL
as tohow it shall bo arranged as to
benefit eveiy person alike. Would
it not be a wise’question to put to
the voters at the next state election,
in October next; Whether or not
there can riot be an arrangement made
by which a . cotton factory* may be
established in e_ach county and run
by bf Georgia? If We can
not succeed in regulating the price
of our chief staple) and thereby pro
teetmg our farmers who are the back
bone of our commonwealth and our
only dependence for prosperity not
only in Georgia, but throughout the
United States, without going into the
manufacturing business as a state.
Why, then it certainly is the duty .of
every citizen to assist in bringing
about such legislation as would en
able the people of the cmpi.fe stat&<
of the sottthe to take hold and man
age their own affairs, so that they
would not become more aud more
oppressed by tlx; nipney power.
.. Perhaps you -say thia would be
class legislation.
To that there is but one answer.
It i3 not. Because if this matter is
taken in hand by a majority of the
taxpayers of the state it would become
class legislotion iu only one senne ot
the word viz, that the people's class
would be figtiling the moneyed set
of robbers, is it not better to legis
late so that nine persons out of every
ten become benefitted, than it is to
leg.slate so that only one out of ten
would be benefited?
The present state -of-affairs certain
ly calls for some heroic action to be
takeu by the rinsses against the mon
eyed power who are crushing the
very life out of our toiling farmers,
and other laboring classes.
The establishing t>of. • factories ill
each and every county ih Georgia,
with a working capacity of JtlOO men
women and children of each factory
would put 137, 000 people at work,
and would keep tlrSin at work lor all
time to come; not only would it put
thoes large numbers at work, but it
would also put hundreds, thousands,
yes, tcng of thousands of Brick mas
ons; Carpenter, Plumbers, Iron work
ers, Electricians, Accountants, Rail
road’ Steamboat men, Engineers,
Firemen and people of hundreds of
other octnpatibns to work, and at
the same time it would everlastsugly
put a stop to the cry of “bard times
in Georgia.
You well know that it is the idle
ness of these many laboring people,
and their lack of funds that is the
cause of so much dissatisfaction
among our people. Then why
should we not go to work and relieve
this terrible State of affairs? Another
thing in connection with this, is, the
sure fact that there nre not enough
public offices now in the government
of Georgia to go all around and sat
isfy the many would-be office holder,
therefore the establishment of 137
county cotton factories would be the
means by which 137 managers would
got an office he could make a living
out of, and there would be 137 Sec
retaries, 137 Treastrers, 137 Watch
men; 137 Engineers, 137 Fireman,
137 or more Book keepers, and bun
dreds of thousands of laborers at
these factories which would enable
thousan Is of merchants to run cuc
cessful and cash businesses.
Do you mean to say that this
would not produce prosperity in old
Georgia--.
Do you say that this would not
3top so much of the begging that is
now going oil throughout Georgia?
Do you say that this would not be
the means by which sl, COO, 000
would be placed in circulation each
week for labor alone?
Do you mean to say that this
would be “class legislation?”
Do you ask how this movement
could be put into active aperr.tion?
If you do, just remember that all
that would be necessary would be to
have a law passed requiring each
county to levy a tax sufficient to
build a factory sufficient ro convert
its crops of cotton goods, let this lac
to;y be managed under the direction
a man who would Lo under the
supervision of a State Supervisor who
would be elected ly the people of the
state 1 Then lot the goods as manu
factured be turned over to the State
Treasurer, he in turn sell the same
at a net profit of 6 percent. This
money to again be returned to the
County Treasurer and from him be
paid to the farmers for their cotton
and to the mill operatives for thc-ir
time and labor
Thus repeating until it would be
advisable to cease levying a property
tax, (which is so often avoided by
the rich .c&ptalist) Upon the people
By this operation, Bhd bacauso every
body uses more or less of cotton each
year, each person would be compelled
to pay his prorata share of taxes in
order to secure wearing apparel.
And again this would be the means
by l which a much larger amount of
northern capital would be brought
into the state, than is now coming in
to pay for our cr ief staple cotton.
You will see at once that it would
be a movement which would Le
taken up by all other of our Southern
states, and would also be the means
by which it would be impossible for
the thousands of tramps to avoid pay
’his prorata share of the expenses of
running the government.
Are not these questions well worth
your serious ar.d proinptyon si deration,
and would it not be a wise and chari
table act to the atnencan peole to
put this pjan into operation? is a
question proposed by
A Suffering Taxpayer
Would it not be well for Cel. A. D
Candler to insert m his platorm the
following:
‘We, the people of Georgia do not
wish to pay those New Englanders
r and theft friend (John Bull’s men) to
come down here and while giving a
few of our people employment,. to
take nearly all profits that have been
made out of cur raw goods end out ot
our labor; they then take these profits
back to the north; there to be used in
producing such legislation as will ever
be to the interest of a few capitalists
and big combinations of capitalists;
and which will continually injure the
many cotton raisers and other farmers?
