Very significent is the fact of the
growth of eastern cities as Shown
by the last census, when previously
the west has been showing up as
the section where the most notable
jucreases of population were real -
'2ed. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New England cities have
s town a population gain that
should be gratifying to the people
of those sections as it is surprising
to the general public, while tie
western section which bave had
thejr large scopes of rich lands tO
parade as wealth makers to the
would be settler have experienced
the reaction natural from quick
spurts of growth, and have fallen
behind general expectation,
it does not require a thofbtigh
Investigation to learit that it is the
manufacturing communities alone
In which the populations have in
creased at anything like the per
ceutages of iSqo* l' l all others
the lowering of the rate of increase
has been remarkable. Cities like
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Lin
coln and others in the west which
depend chiefly on the agricultural
traffic for their prosperity have not
continued the growth of the pre
ceding decade, while Milwaukee,
Detroit and Cleveland, with grow
ing manufactures, have about
maintained their former rate, and
eastern cities have made surpris
ing gains.
Volunteers from the Philippines
are on their way home. All of
them who do not re-enlist will
probably reach home by the ist of
July. There will be between 40,-
000 and 50,000 that will have to
be transported across the waters.
Others will go from the United
States to take their places.

THE LEGAL ADVERTISING
-111 a recent issue of the Courant
American Mr. R L. Griffin, sheriff
of Bartow county, stated in a com
munication in regard to the legal
advestisements, that “I am a pub
lic servant and my desire is to serve
the public as best I can.” and re
quested both of the city papers to
state their positions upon the 3011-
tinuapee of the arrangement to
publish the legal advertisements in
both papers and divide the fees.
The Courant Atneiican stated in
the same issue, that the arrange
ment was satisfactory, but if the
News would not agree to a contin
uance that the Courant American
would publish the legal advertise
ments of the county for one-half
the regular legal rate.
The News stated that it would
discontinue the arrangement at the
end of the present month.
For our next issue which was
last week, Mr. Griffin handed us
the following card:
OFFICIAL NOTICE.
Editors of Courant American
and The News.
“Gentlemen: After full consulta
tion with my deputies, I do hereby
name The News, a paper published
in Cartersville, Ga,, as the medium
iii which the Sheriff's legal adver
tisements for Bartow'county, Ga.,
will be published after March ist,
jqoi,until we see proper to make a
change.
"Please insert this communica
tion in the next issue of yonr paper,
Fed. 15. 1901, 1
K. l). 6kiffin, Sheriff.
N. M. Adams,
W. S. Bradley,
Deputy Sheriffs.”
In his selection Mr. Griffin ar
bitrarily overrides the question of
cost to the people, who pay for
these advertisements, and ignores
the recent reccommendation of the
grand jury, which was as follows:
PUELICY OK LEGAL, NOTICES.
“Our people are to be congratu
lated upon the present arrangement
for publishing the legal notices
advertisements of the officers and
court, as it now exists. All these
advertisements are printed in both
the papers at the county site for the
one rate prescribed by law, thus
gi n_j the widest circulation and
publicity to these important notices,
at no greater cost than it published
in one paper. The public appre
c.ates tins unselfish act on the part
of the Courant American and the
News, and we recommend that the
>resent arrangement be continued
as one very beneficial to all the
people.”
idle arrangement to divide the
fees between the two papers was
entered into while Mr. Griffin was
the deputy sheriff, and at the re
quest of Mr. Burrough who was
tie sheriff at that time, and we
have no doubt Mr. Griffin had full
knowledge of the arrangement.
Mr. Griffin does not attempt to
state why he ignores the recent
grand jury, and neither does he at
tempt to snow' why it will be ntc
cessary for the people who pay the
cost to pay twice as much as lie
could have obtained the work for
in the Courant American.
The Courant American publish
ers, after Mr. Griffin had notified
us of his change, told him in person
it would publish his advertisements
free of cost if he would continue
this paper as the official organ of
the county, and this he refused to
consider at all, and to recognize as
i proposition, saying the matter
had been decided.
Now is there anv one in the
county who believes that Mr. Grffin
would pay twice as much for an
ar icle in a private business trans
action at one place as he could
obtain it for at another ? We do
not believe that any one would
charge him with such a lack of
sagacity, and yet this is just what
he has done in a business transac
tion for the public.
We will further state that we in
tend to publish the sheriff's adver
tisements, and if he refuses to give
us half of the fees, the work will be
lone free to those who pay the
cost, and if the sheriff demands the
advertising fees, it is that much
:ash out of your pocket to pay foi
omething which you have obtain
id without cost.

SOUTHERN MILLS,
J. D. Whelpley, writing from
Birmingham, Ala., to the Globe-
Democrat presents this cheery
view of the cotton and mill situa
tion and outlook in the south:
“The real advantages of the south
in the matter of cotton manufactur
ng are climate, w r ater power and
raw material at the door. The
climate insures twelve months of
operation, cheaper living for the
operatives and a thousand and one
economies iu the running of the
mills. Water powers are a! undant
ly distributed througnont the gulf
states. They are found in never
failing streams of convenient size,
free from freshets, owing to the long
and gradual watersheds. Thee
water powers never freeze or block
with ice, as do the mill streams in
the north. The raw cotton is to be
had at the door of every mill in the
south. The advantages of this is
shown in the fact that ti e average
freight rate paid by Massachusetts
mills to secure the raw material de
livered is more than the rate upon
the manufactured goods from Co
lumbus, Ga., to Boston or New
York.
“During 1900 the number of
spindles increased in the United
States by about 1,500,000. Of this
increase only 197,000 new spindles
are credited to all the states outside
of the south. In brief, the great
growth’of the cotton manufacturing
business in the United States in
1900 was practically all due to the
progress made by the southern
states. There will not be such an
increase in 1901, nor will the in
crease as it does appear show such
proportionate gain by the south
over the north. There will not be
as many new spindles in the south
this year and several large mills are
being built in New England, whose
spindles will figure in the growth
of the industry in the north in 1901.
If cotton continues to hold its
present price of about 9c there is
110 telling where the stimulus to the
industrial south will end. At the
present figure cotton is 1 rofitable
in all its phases of growth, sale
and manufacture. Conservative
men expect a drop in the price, but
no one believes it will ever go as
low as it was three years ago when
or 5 cents was all the farmer
could get. It seems to be the gen
eral opinion that cotton prices will
in time find their way down to a
basis of about 7c and there will
*>tay, subject to the usual slight
fluctuation*. The cotton crop of
the current year will bring to tilt
taimersof the south over $500,000,
too and still not one-third of the
< ~ f * - .. V -
available cottQn laud is under cu -
tvation.”

The burdens of taxation ought
to be laid evenly on all kinds of
property. It is hard to make state
or municipal laws that will work
an absolute fairness in this line.
There is one class of property that
has little chance of escape from
the fullest levies, and that is teal
estate. The new city license law
will remove, it is believed, some of
the heavy load that real est te h s
had to carry The law now is
seemingly recognized as a good
thing. Those who once pay the
trifle required as an annual license
will soon dismiss the matter, and
seeing the benefits in the way of
protection, will in most cases feel
glad they contributed iO so whole
