A newspaper man in some in

S respects his friends, appreciates a

return a favor. In other respects
!he resembles his fellow man. He
; will not continue to pat a man on
! the back, tell him what a good
man he is, and how much he has
done for the town, and give him a
free business puff every week,
when the man will not, through
personal otherwise,
continue to patronize the paper.
In other words, he stands by the
man who stands by him. That’s
about the way with the world, and
a newspaper man cannot be ex
pected to be much different from
other people. Don’t you see?—

THE SPOLIATION OF CHINA.
Mark Twain has been having a
little friendly discussion with some
of the Pekin missionaries a c to the
percentage beyond the losses in
curred which Christian ethies au
thorize to be added to the indem
nity demanded of the Chinese.
The envoys of the Christian pow
ers have no scruples on this score.
They do not bother with percent
ages. They simply name a lump
sum that will more than cover all
that can be got out of the country.
If China can’t pay, they will take
a mortgage on the land and hold
possession.
The indemnity demanded by
the several powers for the trouble
and expense they have been put to
in looting Pekin aggregates about
$500,000,000. Those best inform
ed declare that the most that
China can possibly pay is $150,-
000,000. Germany alone wants
more than one-half of this sum
and other dem ands are in propor
tion. Mr. Rockhill reports that
the discussion concerning the di
vision of the sooils will ‘‘consume
much more time.” Meanwhile
Prince Tuan has started a fresh re
bellion and the powers are destroy
ing the Chinese forts, the further
to convince the government of its
helplessness.
Russia is not in this game, hav
ing accepted the custody of a large
Dart of northern China as a par
tial satisfaction. Just what claims
Mr. Rockliill is urging on behalf
of the United States is not clear.
They are understood to be moder
ate Gen. Chaffee, who still ling-
ers at Pekin, enjoys the privilege
of protesting against the acts of
the other military commanders,
but without result. It would have
been more dignified and equally
effective if the United States had
held altogether aloof from a
scheme of spoliation that is a dis
grace to the so-called Christian
powers.—Philadelphia Times.
In the light of the recent decis
ion of the United States supreme
court, in the Chattanooga short
and long haul case, in which the
railroads walked off with the usual
decision, Cartersville can afford to
congratulate herself as being so
near the Tennessee and Coosa riv
ers. Now if the politicians don’t
sell out the state road relief may
yet be had from the monstrous
railroad trust.
Col. W. M. Towers, in Rome
Tribune, warns the public and
dealers that a counterfeit cotton
seed mea> has been placed on sale
there, branded “second quality
meal for feeding purposes.” It
contains by analysis only 44 per
cent of valuable parts of cotton
seed meal. Cotton seed is worth
$1.20 per sack, and this stuff
should only be worth 53 cents per
sack. It is made a misdemeanor
to counterfeit cotton seed meal or
to sell it.

MILLIONS TO VETERANS.
In the Past Twenty-one Years the
Pension Appropriations Have
Aggregated $6,468,857.
Macon Telegraph.
Atlanta, April 15. —Georgia has
paid out to confederate veterans
and their widows since 1880, the
year that the movement was in
augurated to pay pensions to this
class of her citizenship, $6,458,857,
or more money than has been paid
out by*ill of the Southern states
during the last twenty-one years
for this purpose, as the following
list will show year by year:
1880 $ 51,0751894 424,640
1883-4 61,585 1895 425,740
ISB6 57,7601890 545.140
1887 28.570 1897 574,660
1889 163,760 1898 609,747
1890 182,280 1899 653,710
1891 184,9951900 676,595
1892 585,0001901 805,0c0
1893 425.6001
'Total $6,458,857
The total amount given above
does not include special appropri
ations that have been made Irom
time to time by the legislature.
To illustrate: One special appria
tion made some years ago provid
ed for the payment of thirty-nine
pensions of SIOO each amounting
to s3.S°°. The first efforc made by
the state of Georgia in the way of
rendering assistance to confeder
ate veterans was made in 1866,
when an act was passed authoriz
iag the governor to contract with a
manufacturer of artificial limbs to
furnish the confederate veterans
who reside in this state who had
lost an arm or leg, with an artific
ial limb, the same to be paid for
by the state upon the presentation
of a bill with evidence that the
terms of the contract had been
complied with. The contractor
visited the several counties of the
state and supplied a large number
of artificial limbs where they were
needed. In instances where for
some reason the limb could not be
properly adjusted, the equivalent
in money was paid to the man in
lieu of the leg or the arm.
In 1880 a five years system was
inaugurated—that is, an act was
passed providing that during the
ensuring five years the following
amounts would be allowed: Fora
leg above the knee, $100; below
the knee, $75; for .n arm above
the elbow, S6O; below the elbow,
S4O. This was believed to be
about the actual cost, and was
payable in money.
In 1883, or two years before the
five years term would be up the
law was amended so as to reduce
the period from five to three years,
and in 1888, the law was again
changed so as to provide for these
payments being made annually.
The year previous 1887, an act
was passed providing for the pay
ment of pensions to men who were
disabled from service in the con
federate army. In 1889 the pen
sion laws were again amended so
as to in dude the several classes of
beneficiaries under the act. In
1892 pensions were cut from $lO6
to S6O. In 1896 the indigent class
was added, and the last legislature
amended the act so as to provide
for the payment ot pensions to all
widows of confederate veterans
who were the wives of the veterans
during the war for the period of at
least six months.
From the above statement it will
be seen that Georgia appreciates
the service given by her sons to
the confederate cause, and will
continue to assist in taking care of
them as long as they are left with
us.
WASTEFUL CULTIVATION.
From Southern Farm Magazine.
Avery common and hurtful
practice in the south is the attempt
to cultivate too much land.
This leads to imperfect work; to
a system of scratching the ground
instead of ploughing it. It re
duces the business of farming to a
fight with weeds and grass, and
not primarily as an aid to the crop.
The leading idea with a good far
mer is not to fight weeds and grass,
but to stimulate by cultivation his
growing crop. The extirpation of
weeds and glass is incidental, not
primary. A farmer who waits for
liis crops to become foul before he
works them will be apt to have
poor crops. The idea that the
more land planted in a given crop
the more profits will accrue is a
transparent fallacy. The profit of
a crop is what remains after all ex
penses are paid, including interest
on investment.
A DEEP MYSTERY.

In Mamoriam.
On the night of the second of
April, Florence Ruby Smith, the
eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. F. V.
Smith, breathed her last at their
home on Cassville street. She was
in her fourteenth year, and was a
general favorite with all who knew
her.
I first met her last summer,
when I went out to preach at Row
land Springs. I was deeply impress
ed with the earnestness of the
child. There was an intense yearn
ing within her deep lustrous eyes
of brown, that seemed to be look
ing almost to the infinite.
When her father moved his fam
ily to town, she became a member
of my Sunday school and she was
pre ent at nearly every service.
She had given her heart to God
and seemed to enjoy giving to Him
the best gifts she had. Even as I
write these lines, her face rises be
fore me, not as I last saw it, but as
it appeared to me in the Sunday
school, looking through a rift in
the congregation upon the gospel
as it was outlined in bright colors
upon the blackboard. She seemed
to drink in the words of the lesson.
This earnestness was with her in
her school life, and at home,
where the willing hands made the
burden of life rest lighter upon
the loving father and mother. To
our poor human understanding
it appears strange that God should
take such bright blossom from the
flower garden of humanity. (I al
ways love to think of the children
as flowers among the men and
women of the earth.) In this, as
in many other cases death proved
that he still loves a shining mark
and one comfort that can come to
those who knew and loved her is

“The choicest gifts
That heaven both kindly
Lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.”
This life is but a stopping place
where we may prepare ourselves
for a better and a brighter land
beyond the grave. This girl felt
the importance of making this
preparation and 1 feel that her life
was not blotted out, though it
brightly shone on earth. No, not
blotted out, but like the morning
star that blazes in the sky for a
little while to be swallowed up in
to the brighter light of the day,
her young life did not go out but
melted away into the day dawn of
heaven. When the night of life is
over and heaven’s day has dawned
she will be found the precious jew
that deck the master’s brow a ruby
rare within His diadem.
I knew her but a short while but
I had learned to love her and I
drop this little tribute to her
worth as a wreath of immortelles
to rest above the sacred spot be
neath which she sleeps to wait the
rising of the resurrection morn.
