SPOT COTTON LETTER.
BY W. K. LYLE & CO.
Winder, Ga-, Oct. L>,
Cotton market made some im
provement the first part of the week
on reports of settlement of labor
troubles at Lancashire, England.
These rumors, however, proved pre
mature. Strike not yet adjusted
and the obO mills in this, the larg
est spinning center in the world, is
still closed. Market very dull and
spot cotton is very hard to .-ell.
Demand conies principally from
New England and Carolina mills,
which is limited. We see no pros
pects for much advance until de
mand improve*. Spots today, strict

LOST THt 01D MAN.
Where is the Old Man in thosv
perfervid, disjointed days? W<
read of the Notional Congress of
Mothers, a Ikmlv largely made lip of
most excellent ladies who have never
brought forth anything but icon
oclastic ideas, and which devotes
it-elf mainly to the well known
maternal function of passing rcso
-1 itions and reading essays while the
children, sivli as they are, sprawl
al>out at home, pulling hair, and
crying and encrusting themselves
with dirt, and the old man comes
back after a hard day’s work to hi>
desolate, darkened, widowered
hearth.
The National Conglessof Mothers
has a board of managers, but it is
not one of its functions to manage*
things nicely for the old man.
between the N. C. of M s. and
tin 1 V. M 's. Young Mens —and the
Y. \V. Young Women’ —associa-
tions which abound throughout the
laud, the(>. M. is quite relegated
to the rear, and totally lost in the
shuffle, except at bill-paying time
when he rt'-appears for tin* moment
and when lie has planked down the
cash straightway sinks into oblivion
again.
An A. F. T. R. O. T. O. M.~
Association for the Resuscitation of
the Old Man—is imperatively
needed. It is much more iin
protaut than re-forrestalion, the
regulation of railroad rates, the
strangulation of Standard Oil, or
any other of those minor nmttcis
which now absorb public attention.
The old man is the starting point,
the balance wheel, the motive ,power
of all things. The world was made
for him, and women and children
were nieie Divine after-thoughts.
But the Divine economy has been
oversloughed in these later days and
hence the crying necessity for a
resuscitation of the primal order.
The old man, under the classic
name of pater, was the basis of the
Roman republic and empire, winch
no modern nation lias ever come
within touching distance of in
magnificence and power.
The old man, under the cognomen
of ancestor, is the corner stone of
China, which in its antiquity and
permanence laughs all other coun
tries to scorn.
The old man was the prime
solicitude of the secular part of the
Mosaic* law. First after the com
mandments respecting .Jehovah,
comes the decree. Honor thy
farther. And, scattered and dis
persed as the children of Israel are,
they, lik*-* the Chinese, still stand a
living personality, in a world of
wrecks of other peoples.

Jle cannot go on much longer as
he now is, all day in his place of
business making the money which
keeps the whole concern agoing and

GOOD ATTRACTION AT LYRIC.
There is to lx- presented at the
Lyrie Saturday night a theatrical
attraction somewhat out of the or
dinary, as I. A. t'oburn's Greater
Minstrels seldom appear in a town
as small as Winder. The company
is composed of an aggregation of
artists second to none in their line,
and a great, treat is in store for
those who avail themselves of this
opportunity to listen to the latest
songs rendered by well-trained
voices to the accompaniment of the
largest and best orchestra ever seen
in Winder. Saturday afternoon the
Coburn minstrels, headed by their
superb band, will parade the. st reets
of Winclei arrayed in black silk
hats, lilack street dress coats, strip
ed trousers collars and ties to match
and carrying bright green umbrellas.
If you enjoy a joke, a good song
well rendered, acrobatic stunts the
most remarkable and dancing to
the queen's taste, don’t miss the
minstrels Saturday night.
OUN THOMPSON ACQUITTED.
The ease of the state vs. Olin M.
Thompson, charged with the mur
der of .1. 11. Bowen in Monroe, on
the evening of July 4th, is now a
matter of history and Thompson
walks the streets a free man. The
ease was called at the August term
of Walton Superior court and re
sulted in anew trial. Judge Brand
called a special term of court for
anew trial. And October 7th was
the day set. The case vent to the
jury Friday afternoon, which re
tired for a verdict and, alter
being out until.about eight o’clock
Friday night., returned a verdict of
“not guilty,” thus giving immedi
ate release to the man who had,
siuee the Fourth day of July, been
incarcerated in the county jail,
charged with murder. —Fulled from
