Till SAME OLD JIM. It is wry amusing to the outside : world to see the newspapers and picuchers of Atlanta ln-gin to have fits every time Woodward is elected mayor. Jim Woodward has I wen a polit ical faetor of the (bite ( ity for twenty years. lie is the same don’t care, do-a- I-please social outcast today that he has be- n throughout the whole length of time. 'Die national election having been numbered among Uie events of the past, sensations were scarce. So the Atlanta news gatherers have found poor old Jim drunk at one of his usual haunts and are now heralding it to the world as a great sensation. The preachers are reHoliiting and petitions arc being circulated call ing on different citizens to make the race for mayor at the general election. This protest comes from the same sood people- of Atlanta who grew highly indignant at May or Joyner s truthful statement that the capital city would go wit if given a ehance. Woodward's character was not only well known to the citizens pf Atlanta but was pretty generally known throughout Georgia by his notorious acts during previous ad ministrations. Atlanta indorsed his conduct- by re-nominating him to the highest office, within her gift. The evidence is in, the verdict is made, and the people of Georgia can only sympathize with the preacher.- and newspapers in their efforts to prove tie Gate City more good than had. By wiping aside all party lines the better element of the inhabitants of Atlanta hope to find a .Moses to lead them to victory over this public disgrace. A SIGNAL HONOR.

LYLE & CO Th© feature of the market this week was the gi liners’ report, issued last Monday showing S, EH), 782 bales having b.-en ginned up to November 1, compared with G. 128,- bt>2 last year. This report is the largest on record, ‘ut .immediately upon its issue the Wall street spec ulators supported the market vigor ously an 1 not only prevented any decline, but caused an advance of lb points. This interest- is credited with holding one and a half million bales, and the fight is growing lat ter between the spot people and this speculative interest. We regard the market as very dangerous on either side, as sooner. BRING HIM HERE.
