Bainbridge, Ga., October 16, 1903.
WHEN BROWN CAME TO TOWN.
That Wall street controls the
price of cotton is an undisputed
tact, however lamentable. The
bulls and the bears constitute the
opposing factions who are forever
playing their little game of see saw
at the expense of either the pro
ducer or manufacturer of cotton.
When the bulls by a. toss of
their horns pitch the prices sky
ward the farmer shouts and the
miller howls. When the bears by
the weight of their mighty paws
crush prices earthward it is the
farmer’s howling time and the
millers laugh with glee.
As a rule, about the time farmer
is ready to market his crop the
bear contingent begins to fee! its
oats and cavorts around the ring
and corners the market and it
seems to be beyond the power of
the lusty bulls to horn them off
until it is too late to do the farmer
any good.
This year has proven one excep
tion. A mighty bull appeared on
scene at New York; his name was
Brown, and he hailed from the
city of New Orleans With tail
erect and horns crouched, he went
at his enemies, gored them full of
holes and routed them irom the
ring. Thus he made two success
ful corners and put prices up to
figures satisfactory to the farmers.
By his operations he put several
millions of dollars into his own
pockets and incidentally many
millions into the pockets of the
farmers all over the South.
Bull Brown, of N. O., should be
called the farmer’s friend and they
will no doubt remember him in
their prayers. He may then, in
the great hereafter, get forgiveness
for the sin of trading in cotton fu
tures.
JUDGE HANSELL.
Judge A. H. Hansell, of Thom-
asville, who was for fifty years^a
Judge of the superior court and
who retired a few months ago from
the judgship of the Southern,
cuit, has again entered the active
ptactice of law.
Judge Hansell has formed a part
nership with H. J. and W. I, Me-
Intyre under the firm name of
Hansell McIntyre & McIntyre.
The bar of the circuit over which
he presided so long and with such
wisdom and justice will welcome
his return among them to prac
tice and his valuable services will
no doubt be in demand. The
young men of the firm are men of
brains and promise and are ex
tremely fortunate in their asso
ciate.
The Memphis Commercial Ap
peal has comp d and published a
list of the names of those involved
in the recent P -t Office scandals.
There wen twenty-five indict
ments on the charges of bribery
and conspiracy to defraud the ov-
ernment Such a state of affairs
would not be tolerated—in fact
would have never occured under
the Democratic administration.
Pleasant Stovall, the brilliant
editor of the Savannah Press is be
ing prominently mentioned in con
nection with the next Congression
al race from his district, Editor
Stovall stands high in the etima-
tion of the people and he would
make a strong opponent to Mr.
Lester should he enter the race in
opposition, which is considered
very probable.
It is said that Roosevelt is the
first president we have had in some
time who wrote his own speeches.
In writing the address that he is
to deliver at the unveiling of the
statue of General Sherman, we fear
he will find it difficult to avoid
mentioning the name of the Gen
eral. Perhaps this time, he has
decided to give the “devil his
due.”

"Here is something worth know
ing, says an exchange: "When a
splinter has been driven into the
hand, it can be extricated without
pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide
mouth bottle with hot water, then
place the injured part over the
mouth and press tightly. The
suction will draw the flesh down
and in a minute or two the steam
wilt extract the splinter and the
inflamation together.”
That Russo-Japanese entangle
ment has assumed such propor
tions that it is now evident that
there must be some fighting or a
retraction. As compared to Rus
sia’s fighting strength, the little
Island empire of Japan were but
as weakness itself However the
Japs arc great fighters,
The average Georgia darkey will
seek to know whether Liberia pro
duces watermelons before be takes
much stock in Bishop Turner’s de
portation scheme.
The varying estimates as to the
Presidents weight is due somewhat
to the size of the pistol he happens
to be toting at the time his weight
is taken.

try has beer, supplanted by the

The following truth was uttered
by a wise but unsophistocated phi
losopher: “The country papers
have many faults, they make many
blunders and leave undone many
good works. Yet when you follow
them month after month you are
convinced of the loyalty with
which they stand by their commu
nity, and the constancy with
which they preach the doctrine of
good citizenship and fair play in
all things.
The flood swept coast of New
England has the sympathies of
the rest of the country. It is said
that wreckage lines the shores for
hundreds of miles, while the loss
to property both on land and sea
has been enormous.
Joe Chamberlin’s stand for tar
iff legislation for Great Britian is
not being very well received by
that government.
