Some writer suggests, that as Eng land manufactures the bulk of our cotton she also fixes the price. Re ferring to this the Constitution says : When we reach a point where our cotton will be manufactured at home will be impossible for foreign syn dicates to fix the price of our raw material. The worrd will be compell ed to have our manufactured product, and our manufacturers will get good prices and be able to pay the p’aoter considerably more than the cost of proucing the raw materia*. There is apparently plenty of horse sense in this view, but it will take time educate ouri moneyed classes up it. At present the average south* erner with money is attracted by spec ulative, commercial and weal estate in vestments. The manufacturing idea strikes us only occasionally ar.d in spots, but when it takes possession of our people the south will be the rich est country in the world, aud she will dictate terms, instead of being at the mercy of outsiders.

Cotton Acreage. 1 Washington, May to,—The cotton report to the department of agricul ture for May relates to the progress of planting and tbe contemplated acre age. T he proportion of the proposed breadth a'ready planted on the- ist of May was 85.? per cent, which ap proaches vcT?-c'-osely the arei usually planted at that date, which is estimated at 86 per cent. The returned estimates for the several states are as follows: Virginia, n. North Carolina, 85. s, South Carolina', 90. t Georgia, 92. Florida; 92. Alabama, 93. ' Mississippi, 85. - - Louisiana, 87. '^Texas, 8*. - >:* Arkansas, 71. v v • Tennessee, 76. • 1 ^ ‘ These figures indicate that planting is wed up to the average as to time. ' Die only states that are behind in planting are Virginia, where the de lay is caused, by the cold .backward spring, Texas caused by foe extensive drougth and backward spring, and Arkansas and Tennessee where the extensive ratnfaU and cold weather has retarded operations, : In some districts the correspondents report drouth, while iti others the re turns show the retarding cause to be frost and excessive rains. Germina-* tion has been slow and the growth of tbe plant backwards Salutatory. We take pleasure in announc ing to the public, and especia'ly to the supporters of the Moultne Ban ner, that Dr. J. G.

Her dimensiocs are 700feetb length, 68 foot beam ■and 45 000 horse power. She will, therefore? be eight (Bet longer than is made up from information sent to the commissioner by 800 coirespond ents. This year's cotton acreage com pared with an average year is 07-i, an inert-use of per cent, over last year. The condition of tbe crop sn Snuth Georgia is fair, but in North and Middle Georgia tbe condition is not bo good. In some sections the crop is a little late. The acreage of oata is about the same as last year. In corn there an increase of 3 per cent, in tbe acreage and 6 per cent, in wheat as compared with last year. Farmers have a fine suppty of corn and wheat in some counties, having coru and wheat to sell. Editor Irwin of the Southern Al liance Farmer, says Tom Watson will not be a candidate for governor. In an interview with the Constitution on the subject, Mr. Irwin says : ‘I have not talked with Mr. Wat* son for several weeks, and when I saw him last he had no intention of mak ing the race. In fact his mind was engrossed with other considerations at the time aud I should judge that nothing was further from his thoughts than making the race for governor. If he should enter the race he would undoubtedly have the support of the alliance throughout the stale, or at least-that part of it identified with the people’s party.” Peek, Ellington, Watson & Oo., fooled the farmers of Georgia once; they will not be able to fool them again, lessjhan 8.000. The' Gigantic U to run at a speed of 27 knots an hour on the ocean that the voyage from Queenstown to Sandy Hook will be reduced to about 100 hours, or just a little over four days. The Moultrie Banner, under its new management, is fairly humming. It is doing splendid work for Moultrie and Colquitt county. In its last issue we find this reference to the growing town of Moultrie^ New jail, two Btory houses, street lamps, lock boxes and tbe like, will Boon be a common thing in Moultrie- Moultrie holds high the Banner of thrift and prosperity as a young town. Come and invest youi money in real estate in the banner town of tbe south, and you will never have cause to regret it in the future.” Mark Twain tells of a dead man who, on the way to the funeral, in sisted upon getting out ot the coffin and riding with the driver. And now comes William McKinley, Jr., author of the ‘ big McKinley bill,” trying impose tbe belief upon the public that be still Jives, whereas every one knows that he has been buried for months, and it is useless for him to be con stantly revisiting “the pale glimpses of the moon” to make believe not only that he is not dead, but that there still life in his doctrine of “protec tion.”—Baltimore Sun. Referring ..to the electrocution of Carlyle Harris, adispatch from Sing Sing says: Stoutly protesting with his last breath his innocence of the foul pf»i*oning of his fai^ school girl wife, Helen Pojts, Carlyle W, Harris calm met his doom in the death-chair to day at 12:50 o’clock. Thefiret stroke of the fearlul electric'cuTrent ended an instant the life of him who took innocent life, thus fulfilling tbe law’s stern decree. The'scene in the death chamber was impressive beyond description. The room was bright with sunshine, and, the very air breated life and happi ness- A pale young * man came through a doorway, took a latt look at the sky,, drew a last breath of and then, .swifter than thought, was plunged into the dark mystery of -eternity. The largest cannon in the world, the work^of Herr Klupp, the gunmaker of Essen, is now in position on its carriage in the Krupp pavilliou at the world’s fair, and is the cynosure of all eyes. Krupp’s mamm >th engine ot war is fifty-seven feet long and weighs 270.000 pounds. The range of the monster is sixteen miles, and a single guoner by simply touching a lever If reports from Cuba are true, the revolutionist made a premature move. The government of Spain claims that ' the uprising has been virtually quelled. Cuban patriots in this country are etiU hopeful.

It makes no particle of difierence whether the mob in Michigan which burned a white woman was more malevolent than the Texas mob which resisted a negro. They were both mobs and they committed ap act which is a dis grace to nineteenth century civiliza tion. Mob’rule means disorder, and it should be discouraged by - every patriotic citizen. As to north or south there is no chance for controversy; as to execute a criminal and acquitting an ianocent man, these are the impor tant, and the only important, matters to consider.—-New York Herald. “I got tired of riding home in crowded care, so I bought a bicycle.” • So you are going to ride nome on that, hereafter “Well, I don’t know.

He would be a great man, and a public benefactor, who would unravel the railroad tangle in Georgia, and suggest a schedule of rates' and charges which would bo fair and profitable to the roads and people. A dispatch from Atlanta says: Governor Northen is still debating what to do in the case of Von Polnitz, under sentence ot death at Bainbridge for wife murder. He has granted the piisoncr a reprieve until J une 4, and in the meantime the prisoners friends are trying to make a stronger case than ever to present to the governor for clemency” Tbe sentiment in Decatur county, where the crime was committed, is favor of commuting the sentence. The smallest locomotive ever built to run by steam will be exhibited the World’s fair by Henry Case, jewelry of Glovereville, N. Y. construction has cost Mr. Case over three year’s steady labor.
