Hang up the black alpaca coat, liny by the platform dead, And hush the campaign yawper’s throat, Put ice upon my head; For I am weak and weary, Saddened, sick and sore, And I feel a fainting dreary I never felt before. I stood me high upon the stump And fired my loud bazoo, I begged the boys to get on a bump And try to pull me through. I thrashed the air and worked my jaw And had my tooters spout, While Tommy Watson drew the crowds And made the darkeys shout. But the hurrah play is over, The song aud dance is done, The wagon boy’s iu clover, My little race is run. I’ll sit me down iu sad estate, Put ashes upon my head And learn me how a candidate Feels when he is dead. —Georgia Cracker. One man meets the editor, who has worried herself to death to get out the best paper of his life, on his last issue, and has prayed over the proof to remove every objectional feature and make his paper pleasant, and says: You ought to try to improve your paper, and on en quiry you will learu he has not read it. But thanks to the Great Provider of all good things, the next man you meet has read it aud he says: You have made a wonderful improvement iu your paper, iu fact, it is the best county weekly in the state.

When you hear a man proclaiming himself a “protection democrat’’ you can set him down as a republican sailing under false colors. There is no such a thing as a “protection democrat.”— Houston Post. That’s right brother Post. But say old mau did you know that the remark is equally true about gold bugs? There is no such a thing as a gold bug demo crat, and any man who argues for a sin gle standard aud claims to be a democrat is sailing under false cover. The demo cratic party is the only true bimetallic party in the known world. DRESS MAKING. Mrs. Dr. C. A. Butner is now at Mr. J. L. Hooten’s, next door to Mr. Isaac Slaughters resi dence on Third street, where she will cut and make dresses for the public. WHAT A PITY. The mau more to be pitied than scorn ed in this world is the poor thing who thinks those who differ with him in re ligeou, politics or business is his enemy. The truth is a man who thinks this way has not brains enough to grease a gim let, for we neyer learn anything from those who agree with us. We might deliberately assume a thing, as we often do, aud live a lifetime under the delu sion if somebody was not his own thinker and differed with us, thus causing us to consider the reasons he gave for his be lief. If we have any enemies they are our dupes and apes, for says the great book, “A man’s enemies are they of his. own house.” CONTRACTORS NOTICE.

Walker, a leading American economist, which is this: “Money is that which passes freely from hand to hand, throughout the com munity, in final discharge of debts and full payment of commodities, being ac cepted equally without reference to the character or credit of the person who offers it, and without U't.-ntiouof the per son who receives it to consume it or enjoy it or apply it to any other use than in turn tender it to others in discharge of debts or payment of commodities.” Money is often spoken of loosely as the same thing as capital, but it is a mistake, A railroad or a mill is capital but not money. We have an iustanco in history where the mistake of regarding capital money lead to a great panic and loss to the people. Iu issuing the French assignats on the security of forfeited land estates, each as signat was a promise to pay; but when payment was demanded, it could not be made, because land was not a medium for making it. Land is not money. For this reason gold and silver are univer sally preferred for money because they are not a promise to pay but are pay itself. This idea of comfounding capital and money is the mistake of the populist par ty today, and if their minds could bo disabused of this Watsonism they would flock to the Democratic party and help restore silver to its birthright, and forever give up their fiat money fallicies.

What a Prominent Cotton Factor lias to Say About It. Do we make too mucn cotton? “Prices,” said a prominent factor Saturday, “can never improve as long as our planters persist in mak ing mote ot'lho staple than can be consumed/’ ‘Tf two-thirds were raised/' con tinued he, “it would bring as much money a3 a big crop. This tact ought to be impressed on the far mers. Cotton is 21 2 cents cheap er today than it was on the same date last year, and the price has been going down at corresponding rate lor the last three years ‘‘The truth about it is that those who bought cotton two ytears ago on the idea that it had reached rock bottom haven’t got rid of it all yet, and they are afraid to load up again. ‘ There is a large increase of acre age over last year, and in the states beyond the Mississippi river the crop is unusually good, Texas has a magnificent crop and in Georgia and South Carolina it is prettv lair, with a somewhat increased acreage, “Therefore it may be assumed that the production will go largely over 8,000,000 bales. This tact, with some of last year’s crop still in sight, would seem to render the prospect foi better prices very un favorable, “The receipts are not as large as they should be with the prospect oi such a large crop in sight. This is due in some measure to the heavy rains in August and September, which delayed the crop to some ex tent. And then a great many lar mars are holding their cotton for better prices. I fear, however, that they are doomed Jo- disappoint ment. As I said'before, their only salvation on this line is to plant less.” —Constitution, All the above that refers to there oeiug to much cotton planted is true but this deceitful estimate is the rouble. There is no eight million ;rop on hand and nobody believes here is. The crop is correctly shown by the receipts -jto no rain nor'nothing; else keeps i.^ from .■omiiig in but that it is not made so far as Georgia is concerned the crop j s badly off and seven millions is in over estimate.
