OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. 11. 1901. Mr. McKinley has the grip, and if he is half as oadlv frightened as the leaders of his party are he is not to be envied. It isn’t Mr. Mc- Kinley’s present conditions that has frightened the republicans, but the possibilities it calls to their minds. When Teddy was given the second place on the ticket it was not with any idea that he would ever be president. This is why even Mr. McKinley’s slight illness alarms them. They know the grip is treacherous. Some of the senators worked themselves up into quite an angry mood during the debate on the canteen amendment of the army bill which has been before the sen ate all the week, an 4 unparliamen tary language has several times been used. It is a temptest in a teapot, which has been encouraged because the men responsible for the bill would rather have the can teen than the big standing army talke l about. The senate voted against the canteen. The $60,000,000 river and har bor bill was taken up by the house and after a comparatively short debate passed without serious op position. The “pork’’ was well distributed. Representative Otey, of Virgin ia, amused the house and at the same time told some plaiu truths concerning the objects aimed at by the Olmsted and Shattuc/. resolu tions for investigations of the sup pression of suffrage in the south. He said: “The logical end of all such agitations is negro domina tions in the siuth. It means the reinstallation of carpet bagger agents of the demon of darkness and corruption. It means the coming of a buzzard gluttoned with carrion. If means the descen dants of those who thirty-Jve years ago fastened their talons in the prostrate body of the south, like those pitiless fiirds who fed upon the vitals ot Prometheus when his helpless form was chained to a rock. Yes, it means the return of those buzzards, gluPoned with car rion that are today following the calling of their diabojical daddies in Cuba, the Philippine islands, and in Porto Rico, who exude such an odor that a mosquito shuns them. Yes, they are so mean that the vellow fever genus die in their presence. They are so loathsome that the smallpox microbes fly from them, and if a snake bite one of them it kills th£ snake. As for the Snattnck resolution, it seems that nor the Olmsted result ion will pass. They will not pass un- til the fishworra swallows the Whale, not until the snail overturns the hare, not until the Dutchman stops drinking beer, and not until the billy goat butts from the rear.” Representative Champ Clark thus paid his respects to the I arn better-than-thou element: “Yes, the mugwumps or jugwutnps, as Sam Jones calls them, these fine haired people who are too good to discharge their political duties. They stay at home in idelness and the hoodlum discharge not only his and ’tv, b :t that of the fine haired citi; n ’ 5e.... o Mo gin’s credentials for his fifth consecutive term were this Vt/han fhA accompanied by vs ilv II IIIC ucous p?L ches in the mouth, erup.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, SA. week filed by Senator Pettus. Sen ator Morgan is one of the ablest men of a body that has many able members, and one of the reasous for his prominence was well stated by the late Seuator Davis w hen he said of Senator Morgan in a debate: “His memory and capacity to as similate and store away all sub jects are marvelous to contemplate.” Solicitor General Richards made an open slur at ex-President Har rison, in his argument before the supreme court this week on the cases involving the constitutional ity of Mr, McKinley’s colonial pol icy, that disgusted many persons. Mr. Harrison is a private citizen who has held the highest position within the gift of the American people, and is entitled to respect, and it was not respectful for Mr. Richards to refer to Mr. Harrison’s recently expressed opinion in op position to the McKinley policy in such language as “a distinguished lawyer and statesman affects to be lieve,” etc. It was h gratuitous insult to Mr. Harrison, which shows how resentful the McKin leyites are toward members of their own party who dare to oppose their imperial policy. It is not proba able that Mr. Richards acted with out the approval of his superiors in office. Attorney General Griggs and Mr. McKinley. By the way, speaking of the su preme court, the nomination of “Dick” Harlan, who has been men tioned as entertaining doubts of the constitutionality of the McKin ley cclonial policy, if not actually believing it to be unconstitutional, to an important judicial position in Porto Rico, which is now before the senate, has caused much talk, especially in view of the fact that Mr. McKinley refused to give Dick Harlan a judicial position in the District of Columbia, for which he was an applicant. Mr. McKinley may not have made this appoint ment to make sure of the vote of Justice Harlan on the pending cases, but the fact that it has been made at this time has naturally bred gossip along that line. This isn’t a pleasant sort of suspicion to entertain. The house by a majority of 63 knocked out the committee reap portiomnent bill :.nd passed the Burleigh bill, which adds 29 mem bers to the house making the total membership after March 3, 1903, 386, the additional members being apportioned to 18 states, on a ratio of 194,182 of population for each representative. KILLED HER HUSBAND- Husband of but Few Weeks Mar. rled Her Under Duress. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 10. —P. H. Kennedy, agent for the Mer chants’ Despatch Ti ansportation company, was shot and killed by his wife in his office in the Ridge building this afternoon. Mrs. Kennedy appeared at the entrance of the office about 5:30 o'clock and requested her husband to step into the hall. He had barely passed through the door when she opened fire on him with a revolver, shoot ing him four times and killing him instantly. She then kicked the lifeless body and exclaimed: “Now' you w’ill ne.er seduce an other woman.” Mrs. Kennedy, who was formerly Lulu K. Prince, married Kennedy Dec. 4, 1900, and the groom’s ac- j tion during the ceremony indicated | that he was not a willing party to i the contract. The father and brother of the bride accompanied the couple during the marriage ceremony Last Tuesday Kennedy brought suit to annul his marriage with Miss Prince. He alleged in his petition that he was forced into the marriage by threats to take his life if he refused and that the : threats were made not only bv the fa her and brother of the young | woman, but by her also. The pe tition said that he had never lived with her as his wife. The girl’s family claims that she and Kennedy were engaged to be married when he met another young woman, fell in love with her and broke the engagement with Misi Prince. The family claims that the cards were out announcing Kennedy’s marriage with the other young woman when the father and brother of Miss Prince took a hand in the affair. Kennedy was about 30 years old. His wife, who is only 20, is a sis ter of Burt Prince, the professional whistler. | ALWAYS KEEP ON HAND , There le no kind of pain or ache. Internal or exter nal, that Pain-Killer will 1 not relieve. I LOOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS AND SUB STITUTES. THE GENUINE BOTTLE ! BEARS THE NAME, PERRY DAVIS A SON. FROM THE COAST TO PEKIN. Kind bf Country Our TrooDS March ed Thruuarh to Besie&red City. From the coast to Pekin is one endless plain, unruffled y a single mound or gentle elevation. Dull colored clay embankments, mark ing tlie course of roads, canals or irrigation ditches, ridge the flats in all directions, like welts laid with an enormous knout on a tortured country by some supernatural avenger, writes Thomas F. Millard in Scribner’s. Uncultivated wastes of mud stretch everywhere, tainted by putrid ponds and filling the spaces between the vast fields of millet which cover the greater part of the land in North China. Thou sands of big and little mounds dot the country, giving it the appear ance where not concealed by vege tation of some vast prairie-dog vil lage. Human graves are these, strange bumps of oriental super- stition, to hold the land they oc cupy sacred against all the needs of posterity w'hile the Chinese gov ern China. Yonder, new in touch with the crawling column, now reaching away as if to relieve the troops of its nauseous contact, only to come creeping, snake-like, back again, after having made a wide detour, is the sluggish Pei-ho. In any countrj but China this tortuous, turgid stream, dragging its yellow, slimy fluid slothfully between crumbling mud banks and shores reeking with refuse, would scarce ly be entitled to rank as a ditch. A ditch it is—or rather a sewer; the sewer, as well as the commer cial artery, of Chihli province. It floats endless double lines of junks with their prows pointing to the north or to the south, in unbroken procession. It is the mother of thousands of smaller ditches, all equally yellow and contaminated, which spread out over the country like the web of an imme-ise water spider, licking up the filth of count less villages and feeding or drain ing, as the case may be, their cous ins, the cess-pools. It now’ har bors, but to indecently display, cast upon its banks or floating with its current, hundreds of bloat ed objects that were once men and women who lived upon the earth and had souls. On it, now, cool ies, commandeered to serve the hated foreigners, laboriously push along, by means of poles, heavily laden boat". It breeds mosquitoes by the million, disease in many forms and death multiplied for friend and foe alike. The Future of Cotton- Nashville American. There is a good prospect that cottonseed oil may take the place of linseed oil in the mixing of paints, and if the experiments now being tried turn out as well as ex pected, and the prospect becomes a certainty.there is a great future for cotton. If the cottonseed oil will take the place of linseed oil, then the seed will be the important part of the cotton crop, instead of the lint at present. Even without this thing coming to pass there is a good future at even considerably less than the present market price, if our farmers will but go at the work of raising it propetly. We regret to see preparations in many sections for an extended area for cotton —the old story of branching I out and using more land for a crop than can be properly worked. Cot- ton is high because of two compar atively small crops coming in suc cession, but it by no means follows that the price will keep up. This is common sense reasoning; hence, the thing to do is to get the soil in shape to raise larger crops per acre, rather than to extend the area.’ If from a half bale to a bale of cot ton can be made on an acre it is profitable, but if the farn.er takes three or four acres to produce a bale he is surely losing money in stead of gaining it, no matter how large the area he has in. Our friends in the north have pretty well learned the value of intensive farming, and we must learn it in the south, not only cotton growers, but all farmers, before we can hope to make farming pay a profit com mensurate with the money invest ed and the labor involved. If you, reader, have made money during the past two years on ten or twenty acres in cotton, stick to that area and get the soil in condition to in crease the yield. If any change is made, let it be a decrease of area with the use of the same quantity of fertilizer that was used on the larger area. Then will you see how cotton growing may be made fairly profitable, even with the crop selling at 5 or 6 cents. A Frightful Blunder Will often i'huhh h horrible Burn. Sl *"lb Cut or Bruise.
