'No man has a right to live in a town and not actively Identify bins- self with its interests, says the Mil- Redgevllle News. That applies to Americus. 'Prohibition sentiment is in the air,” •ays the Montgomery, (Ala.) Jour- Bat We breathe It, inhale It, absorb S. and It takes possession of us, un consciously,'If not unwillingly.” Secretary Root has left Muldoon's farm. But he still carries with him a disappointed ambition. A year or two ago Roosevelt pronounced Root toe greatest man on earth, but Taft l to occupy that position now. •The Gods help those who help themselves.” Ths Individual or the community that sits still, expecting good fortune to drop a plum In its lap, is verp apt to find its lap empty. Good things sometimes come to those who do not strive for them, bt it can be put down as the rule that only those who struggle for them wij the prizes of life. Americus wants a cotton mill. There may be a few persons whose personal interests would be slightly Injured by the establishment of such an industry here, but even these persons are sufficiently patriotic to wish Americus to go ahead oven though it entails some personal loss upon them selves. They realize that what they may lose in one direction they will more than make up in another. * With a practically ulilted community behind the suggestion It does seem as though the time were ripe for some effective blows to be struck in an Industrial way. Americus has been talking cotton factory for a somewhat long time. Interest in the proposition has never lagged. It is on* subject that can always be brought forward at a meeting of business men with a good prospect of an enthusiastic discussion ensuing. Why, then, should we not have a cotton mill? One trouble up to this time has been that Americus has been looking abroad for the factory and not at home. Other towns become fcanu- facturing points by suiting a mill, even though on a modest scale, with home capful. One mill has inevitably lead to another where tbe transpor- Ution conditions have been favorable —and where are they more favorable than at Amerkus. So It must be here. Americus will never get a mill if it expects foreign capital to come here and put it up. Lett us dismiss that Idea. If the mill is to be built it must be built by local caital. It must be managed by local business men, with capable superintendents brought from elsewhere to look after the mechanical end. TEere is ample capital Eero la pat up a 1100,000 mill, Ka bne guostloas that 51111s elsewhere are doing well, earning handsome dividends year after year. Can one loint to a single reason why a mill should not do equally as well at Americus? Is there any local condition here that would hamper success? Assuredly none. Why not a mill at Americus, then? Suppose we try It. Cannot a few of the staunch business men of the city get together and sUrt the movement? A subscription list headed by them should appeal to local Investors, large and small. All that Is needed is the knowledge that the enterprise would be in the hands of reliable men, in whom the people of Americus have confidence. Will not some one start the bail rolling? Or is it to be another year or two of talk? September Brings the great Autum Events in Dress Goods, Sheetings, Pillow Casing Quilts, Sheets, Lace Curtains. • Portiers.and Rugs.

The latest gossip is that Judges Moses Wright Is to go after Cordon Lee's scalp. 'The Vice President of this coun try Is more of an ornametal figure than otherwise," says tbe Columbus Enquirer-Sun. But with the dan ger always confronting tbe country of him becoming president each par ty should see to It that the nominee for vice-president Is a strong man, thoroughly in sympathy with its poli cies, and capable of making a satis factory and efficient president The suggestion that the vice-president be . made a member of the cabinet by virtue of his office was an excellent one. He should be at all times en tirely in touch with everything that Is going on In an official way, that, if called to the presidency, he would take hold with experience, and not ignorance, to guide him. 1 The Morgan and Standard Oil in terests sem to have financed the Republican campaign In New York when Judge Parker was defeated. Will Roosevelt ever get enough real manhood to apologize to Judge Par ker for calling him a liar when the Judge directed attention to this fact during the campaign? Ella Wheeler Wilcox Is out with an other plea for “equal rights for wo men.” Ella does not really mean that. The average American woman has more rlghta than man now, es pecially since Georgia Judges decid ed that she has the right to go through her husband's pocket at night What Is really needed Is the protection of tbe few rights that man has manag ed to hold up to this time for him- stiff The New Orleans States refers to It as “the eruption of Mount Hob son."

Tht Atlanta Journal says that six- ken thousand children began their studies on Monday under eighty seven teachers.

THEY LOYED THEM JUST THE SAME There Was a youth of scanty means Who loved a summer maid; Ice cream and soda she adored, Bon-bons and lemonade, Excursions, too, she doted on, So he could never claim A penny when the weAk was o’er, Bpt he loves her just the same. A man who got a pretty wife Soon found her tresses bright. Her pearly teeth and perfect form Were laid aside at night; He saw her blushes In a box. And thought It was a shame That he, alas, had been deceived. But he loved her Just the same. A wealthy dude was sure the girl He wished to win and wed Would Jilt her poor but worthy swain And take his gold instead. He learned that money cannot quench True lore's Immortal flame; The maiden coolly turned him down. But he loved her Just the same. Our dearest friends may play false. Our children go astray. Our wives contract a score of bills We never hope to pay. Our husbands flirt with chorus girls, J And every one we blame For all our bitter sighs and tears. But we love them Just the same. —Minna Irving.

ATLANTA, Sept 10.—Commission er Hudson of the agricultural de partment has submitted to Governor Smith his estimate of funds available from his department to rthe agricul tural schools of the state. The figures submitted by Com. Hudson are aa follows: By the time that the present Rail road Commission has been in offlee a year and a half the rest of the stats will have to organize to elect a com mission that will not think that At lanta is all Georgia. The Atlanta Journal wants the pass es taken away from the weekly pa pers, while the Atlanta Georgian Is not so "cock-sure” about the advisa bility of this course. This looks like a serious difference of opinion In Gov. Smith's kitchen cabinet. . , The Sandersviile Herald thinks the | four really big men in this cdhntry I arc Messrs. Bryan, Hearst, Watson j and Roosevelt. But that is not a full hand. Who shall make the fifth, ; John Temple Graves or Hoke Smith?., Hearst’s newspapers have suddenly tecum* very conservative—that is, •onaenrative for Hearst (tapers. And In his speech at Jamestown Hearst •tea acknowledged that capital really Bad some rights. The explanation may be fobud in the statement by Bryan that Hearst is making two eanrasses for a presidential nomlua- ttoe, one within the Democriitlc par- the other within his own private Drapery, the People’s League. There are nearly one hundred thous- j and persons In prison in the United > States, and probably several times as j many who probably would be there j It they could be found out.
