AHBBICUS, 04., HAT 3, 1901.
Texas’ broad and oil; smirk is a (treat
enconrjgor of speoalstion these days.
Having devastated China, it now
looks as if we wonld have to feed her
awhile.
The Tennessee legislature died a nat-
nral death Tuesday evening, and the
Tennesioe papers say the universal
sigh of relief almost created e cyclone
in that state.
The Atlanta Journal heads its leader,
"What May the Treasurer Do Next?”
We trust he will do as he has done—
continue to follow tho constitution.—
Savannah Press.
Noting the statement that tho wife of
Li Hung has 4,000 drosses, the Al
bany (N. Y.) Times wants tc know how
the women of this country can claim
that China needs civilizing.
Bussell Sage utters a warning to the
Wall L'-eet men who, he says, “aro
drunk with speculation,and don't know
what they are doing.'' Who ever heard
ALL ABE BENEFITED.
Towns that commence manufactur
ing cotton yarns and cotton cloths soon
doable their population, their properly
values and their trade, and every citi
zen in the community and for ten miles
aronnd feels the beneficial effects. The
banks' deposits are increased, and a
greater demand for money is created.
When the farmer pays np in the fall,
the manufacturer borrows the same
fund to stack np cotton to use until
spring. The banks gather interest the
year round. As interest charges are de
creasing the world over, this fact as
above stated should induce bankers to
aid in establishing factories.
With a hundred thousand dollar mill
or even a less costly one in a town, a
thousand dollars a week will be dis
tributed in cash in wages to persons
who are obliged to spend it to live, and
the retail merchant has the benefit.
There will be added by the same plant
three to five hundred citizens, who mast
be famished with fresh meats, melons
vegetables, batter, chickens, eggs, wood,
etc., and the farmer has a close market
for the smaller prodnote of the farm.
There is, indeed, no Individual who is
not benefited by the establishment in a
community of a mannfactory'of cotton
goods.
How long will it be before Americas
and Sumter County will realize this
truth ?
The time is fast approaching when
Statejpoliticians will bo compelled to
send literatnre for the information of
the voters. It is almost impossible to
dram up^enthusiasm enough to get out
a crowd to a political speaking. The
majority of the voters are readers of
newspapers, and hare no time to spend
listening to politicians speak. All ar
guments will soon he printed and mail
ed to the voter, and ho can then advise
with his wife how he shall vote. The
women .can’t go the polls and doposit
their ballots, but the eleotion generally
goes their way.

CLAY STILL DEFIES THE LAW
of a drunken man taking warning ?
Judge Fite's chargo in Thomasville
agtnnst progressive ouchre attracted
attention, but the judge has noticed
by this time that a foul murder there
is still unavenged.— Savanush Press.
As the war with the Boors has cost
Great Britain >730,000,000, eho would
evidently have no alternative bat to call
on Mr. J. P. Morgan to finance any
scrimmage of more imposing propor
tions.
In twenty-one yoars Georgia has paid
to the old veterans in pensions the enor
mous sum of #0,458,857. Last year
was the largest year of them all. This
pension business ia sadly in noed of an
over-hauling.—Darien Gazette.
Senator A. O. Bacon observed iu Ma
con; "I do not understand Dr. Park
hurst to meaoco-educatien of the two

demned. Such a plan woul 1 never be

Government does not proceed against
any man without due cousulera'ion and

many Northern papers. Tho Governor
saya there are many exaggerations in
tho clippings from the papers which
have reached him, but that his remarks
as published first in the Savannah
paper are substantially correct.

Lexington, Ky., April 29.—General
Cassius M. Clay, sago of Whitehall, still
defies the law and bis children. The
second step by Mrs. Mary B. Clay to get
possession of tier property, which caused
the trouble between General Clay and
two deputy sheriffs several weeks ago,
was takou Saturday,when Mrs. Olay at
tached a sum of rnonoy iu the state
bunk of this city belonging to the gen
eral. Tho attachment is for >1,500 for
the detention of that much household
goods by General Clay.
A summons, which is a part of the at
tachment and which must necessarily
be servod upon the general, was placed
In the hands of a constable and two
deputies.
The three officers went to Whitehall,
and after shoving tho summons auder
the general’s door, nskod one of the
guards to opeu the door so they could
tell him that the paper was there, but
the guard refused to do this, being
afraid to incur the goueral’s dlspleasnro.
Olay will doubtless respond to the enit
of hts daughter, and a legal battle be
tween the father and daughter will
rosult.
