tumors here yesterday stated that
cotton was shodding badly as a result
cl the coutinued rains, Hnshels of
forms and yonng bolls can be found in
every row of cotton.
Amcricus will get her first bale of
the new cotton crop within ten days,
and everyone eagerly awaits its corn
iest. It is the harbinger of a great and
prosperous fall trade.
Judge A. C. Speer says that the Chi
nese imbroglio or something worse has
knocked the bottom oat of the matr!
monial market. He can't even sell
licenses at summer rates.
CROP RUINED AND ABANDONED.
Reports From Other Localities Most
Discouraging.
An Amerlcus warehouseman received
a letter yesterday from one of the most
extensive cotton planters and factors
in Mississippi, and the account he
gives of crop conditions out there are
auvthing than enoouraging. Crops,
he says, are not half what they were at
this time last year. It rains continu
ously, and on many plantations the
cotton has never been chopped out at
all. Of course these fields are aban
doned and will make nothing. Louis
iana and Arkansas, the writer adds,
have poor crops—very poor indeed.
Corn is also poor, and in many sections
both cotton and corn have been
drowned out by tloods. After a care
ful look at the general situation the
writer makes a conservative estimate
of the cotton crop, which ho thinkB
will not exceed 9,000,000 bales.' This,
if true, should put the price at 10 cents
or better.

A College, He Thinks That Honors
the State.
A farther observation of Mercer Uni'
versity daring its commencement ex
ercises strengthens my opinion that
is one of the really great colleges
the country.
A great newspaper like The Journal
cannot too often commend an institn
tion that illustrates the noblest ideas
of higher edneation, and is constantly
enriching the citizenship of tho state
tfith strong, able and earnest men
The stndents of this great eollege are
indeed its monuments.
The exceptional merit of Meroer
University does not rest in its equip
mefit, for in that line it is surpassed
by a score of ooileges in the south,
is not in the pile of its endowment, for
that is scant enough to astonish those
who know the influences behind it,
is not in ady greater scholarship or
learning among its faculty, for its pro'
fessors, while eqnal to the best, are not
superior to many men in other insti
tutions. It cannot be in any difference
in the calibre or home-training of its
stndents, for they are mostly Georgia
boys, sprang from tho samo soil and
the same conditions which surround
Georgia yontb everywhere,
Bnt the notable and admirable ex
cellence of this Macon school is in tho
magnifioent spirit that prevails every
where among the student body,
bare never deon anything superior to
it in any Ameriean college, north or
sonth. It is the destinal glory of the
eollege, and is worth more than equip
ment or endowment or any tangible
possession.
I sesroely know how to describe it,
and certainly do not understand its
origin or its steady oontinnanco
through so manv years.
Let me skim the surface of it by say
ing that the most fashionable and pop
alar and permanent enthusiasm of
Mercer University is mental develop'
meat! Among some 225 yonng men, 1
with good, red blood in their veins,
fond of athletios, with high enthusiasm
for legitimate sport, and proven excel
lenee in the Ameriean games, with doe
regard for sooiety, and with not a trace
of "Miss Nanoyism” in their manly
lives, it is yet true that the one idea
which dominates every class and every
stndent is the preeminent ambition to
prepare themselves glorionsl; for ns*'
fatness and success in the battle of life.
I never saw suchjdevotion in a stn
dent body to its alma, mater. I never
saw eo mneh of genome personal loy
alty among stadentsto the professors
who train them, or each hearty sympa
thy between students and professors.
Those Mercer boys actually make Dr.
Pollook the confidant in their lore af
fairs, and go to him freely with the
most private details of their lives.
They respect him absolutely and love
him devotedly, and he rnles them by
the high appeal to honor, to, gratitude
and to their noblest interests.
I do not know to whom this condi
tion is dne, whether to the president
or to the faculty, to several stndents or
to all the stpdents; bnt I do know the
resultant of these conditions is an at
mosphere of mental vitality, a keenness
of intellectual life, a spirit of philoso
phy, a pnrposeness' an ambition, a
fine spirit of harmony, and a vigor ef
fective to snoeess which refleets sur
passing credit npon its inspiration
wherever it lies, and which is simply
thrilling with promise to the future,
There has not been an intellectual
event inthe stndent life of Georgia with
in these 3 years in which this college
has not borne a leading and glonoas
part, and the eollege is today a' stand
ard manufacturer of character and high
equipment for the service of the state.
The great and wealthy Baptist ehnrch
has nothing noblbr and worthier nnder
the shadow of its name than Mercer
University, and it ought to ponr ont
its energies and its money lavishly to
increare its equipment and enlarge its
nsefnlness.
To me the college in its spirits and
in its results realizes an ideal which
simply compels my admiration and ita
free expression.
