GOOD PEICE FOR COTTON.
AMERICUS. GA.. AGO. 29.1902.
AGGRESSIVE EDUCATION.
Tho man with a woll-traiucd mind is
dressed in armor for defense, bat he
has no offensive weapon in his grasp.
Xhe man who has only a skilled arm
has a powerful lance, hut no armor for
eelf-defenso. The man wi'.h a trained
hand aud arm, all aoting in unison, is
armed cap-a-pie to attack and to re
sist. Tho hoy or girl who has re
ceived a brain education alone is hut
half-prepared for life. Bnt the hoy or
girl with the fitting which a modern
manual training high sobool can aud
does give has two chances in this
world.
An early crop, says the cotton factor,
means a short crop. There is very lit
tle of tbe old crop to be carried over
and with brightening trade ontlook
cotton this year ought to bring good
prices.
The cotton seed oil mills, which last
year did one of the most profitable bus
inesses in the history of the South, are
expecting to pay high prices for their
seed. AH the indications point to the
southern farmer getting good prices for
the south’s staple crop.
Good money for cotton and all its
prodnots mean an era of prosperity
for the south—prosperity that will af
fect every merchant, farmer, employee
and business man in tbe south. It is
getting harder and harder to manipn*
late and control cotton prices, and if
tbe farmers will invoke the law of
supply aud demand aud not put them
selves in tbe hands of tbe speculators
they will do their share to bring about
their own and tbe country’s prosperity.

Tbe many friends of Mr. Steed will re

yet they reoogniz?,ne Mr. Steed states,
the race for the speakership is being
very hotly oontested and will reqniro
great deal of time for a thorough can

declines to continue in tbe scramble
for it wonld seem the game is hardly

GIVES A THRUST AT TEDDY.
The Commoner suggests that in bis
“tearing around tbe oircle,”Mr. Boose
velt might, to tbe edification of his
audionoe, auawor the following port!
aent questions.
“Why not apply tbe declaration of
Independence to the Filipinos?"
“Why not begin criminal action
against tho beef trust millionaires aa
well as against rmsli criminals?"
“Are yon in favor cf tbe Fowler bill
with its asset curreuoy, its brauch
banks and its redeemable silver do!
hw?”
“Why not take tbe tariff off of trust*
made articles?"
These questions present issues upon
whiah be should enlighten the pablio.
Evidenily Teddy bss chosen the
easier way, which is to deal in glitter'

subjects.
EGYPTIAN 00TT0N BELT.
Tbe British cotton growers' asaooia
tion, which, with the hearty co-opera
tion of the oolonial secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, is striving to render the
British empire independent of tbe
United States so far as raw cotton is
* concerned, is now paying special at
tention to npp6r Egypt, where it ia as
serted tbe association can develop a
oitton belt dwarfing that of the south
ern states of America. Major Connt
Gleichen, secretary of the Sirdar of the
Egyptian forces; Major Genets! Win
gate.addreumg the association at Man-
cheater recently, said tbe experiments
now concluded on the banks of tbe
Nile ahow the quality of tbe cotton
grown there to be equal of any in the
world. There are available 15,000,-
000 acrea of irrigated land and tbe
only difficulty ia tbe labor supply, the
dervishes having depopulated the Son-
dan,but the completion of the Suskim-
Berber railroad is expected to solve
the problem besides furnishing an out
let for the crop.
The death of Gen. Franz Sigel de
prives tho country of another histori
cal figure and reminds it that the
group of surviving prominent generals
in tho civil war is growing small in
deed. Gen. Sigel wbb a born soldier,
as woll as one by thorough education,
and he performed a great deal of valu
able service in bis adopted country
He illustrates the fact that the German
easily places himself in accord with the
institution of the United States and is
ready to fight for them as repre9entive
of tbe general principles of hnmsn lib
erty and progress. For several years
Gen. Sigel was identified with educa
tional interests in St. Lonis and his
earliest military record in the civil war
ia identified with stirring events ia
Missouri. He was an able, honorable,
useful man, and the story of his life in
two continents will make a noted con
tribution to history.—St. Lonis Globe

unknown cause, and, after spending 15
minutes with the car the robbers do-
camped, allowing tho engineer to ga
back to the train with Ills engine.

train, keeping the passengers Inside
by firing revolvers along the sides. No
attempt was made to molest the pas
sengers, nnd after the engine camo

of a beautiful woman suggests purity,

President Orders General to lelands on
Inspection Tour.
Washington, Aug. 26.—President
Roosevelt's order to General Miles to
visit the Philippines reached the war
department today. General Miles is
Instructed to proceed about Sept. 15
to the Philippines to Inspect the army
there, with reference to Instruction,
discipline and supplies.
It Is the understanding that In that
capacity, though of superior rank. Gen
eral Miles will not Interfere In any
way with either General Chaffeo or

pines. He will critically examine the
conditions as he finds them, devot
ing hls attention entirely to matters
or army regulation and not to politt
cal affairs and the results of hls work
will be embodied In a set of reports,
Some such work as tills was underta
ken a few months ago by Inspector
General Brcckenrldge, who has pre
pared a voluminous set of reports
which have not yet been published,
making suggestions for the betterment
of tho military service at every point
from transportation down to discipline,
accoutrements and supplies.
In the absence from Washington
of General Miles no one at army head
quarters Is fully authorized to dis
cuss the details of hls projected trip,
but It Is believed'here he will be ac
companied by at least two members
of hls staff, namely. Lieutenant Colo
nel Whitney and Colonel Reber, the
latter hls son-ln-Iaw. Colonel Maus,
who Is the Inspection officer ot tho
staff, also may accompany Goneral
Miles.
Leaving about September 15 and al
lowing a month for a tour of Inspec
tion of tha principal Islands of tho
archipelago, General Miles should re
turn to Washington early In January
next.

you know absolutely that the lowest price for which
we, or any other good store have previously sold the
equivolent of that price of Embroidery in regular stock
is 20c yard, and 7 1-2C yard saved is the most positive
kind of economy. But remember that only tomorrow
