This is a pointer for Georgia farmers. Another small crop of cotton means 10 or 12 cents per pound. Will the southern farmer bear this in mind? It would pay him. The uatioual election in November will be the last electiou of the century. And the retult will be felt into the next century. “1 do not make any statement that I cannot stand for,” said lioosevelt in Neb asxa, and the New York World says in this connection that “at this the recording angel fell in dead faint.'’ It is said that several hundred tobac co salesmen in St Louis who lost their jobs because of the tobacco trust are lookiug quite anxiously for the comiug of Mark Hanua, who says “there are no trusts.” Hervie Jordan, president of the Geor. gia Cottou Growers’ Protective Associa tion, has called an inter-state conven tion of southern cotton growers and business men to meet in Macon on Nov. 20. The presidential and congressional elections will be on Tuesday, the 6th day of November. Paste this down and dou’t forget it. An effort is be ing made to poll the full Republican vote, and the Democrats should do like wise. A “cotton picking party” is the la test thing in society circles.

There is, we fear, just a just a little too much suggestion of the useful in it for it to spread to any ap preciable degree.—Greensboro Herald. Here is a picture of the future drawn by Henry Grady a short time before be died: “1 catch the vision of a republic— its mighty forces is balance, and its unspeakable glory calling on ail its children—working out its mission un der God’s approving eye, until the dirk continents are opened aud the highways of the earth established, un ti! the shadows are lifted, the jargon of nations stilled, and under one language, oue liberty and one God all the uatious of the world, harkening to the Ameri cui diuin beat, shall march in paths of righteousness and peace,” Banker Routs a Robber.

The annual report of Commissioner of Agriculture O B. Stevens tor the fiscal year eudiug October Ist will show that the net iucome of the State from the Agricultural Department is upwards of $37,000. The income of the Department of Agriculture is derived from two sour ces, the inspection of fertilizers and the inspection of illuminating oils. From the foi mer $25,492 48 has been real ized during the year now closing, which ’s the largest revenue, by sev eral thousand dollars, ever obtained from tbe inspection ot fertilizers. The net income from this source last year ainouured to only $15,833, or practical ly SIO,OOO IeBB than is shown for the present year. The decided gaiD to the State from the inspection of fertilizers is due, of course, to the fact that more of the manufactured product has been inspec ted than ever before, but also it is ac counted for in the fact Commissioner Stevens obtained bis fertilizer tags at a remarkably low figure, and has given attention to this department of his work. “The law provides,” said Commis siooer Stevens yesterday, “that the net revenue fiom the inspection of fertili zers shall go with the revenue from oil ’uspections to tbe common school fund of the State. I tbii.k, however, that it should go to the education of the far ming classes—to the people who use fertilizers from which the income is de rived. “So far as my department is con cerned, tbe year has been a successful OD6 for the State, as is shown by tbe uet revenue from its two Rources of in come, aud I am thoroughly satisfied with tbe showing that haß been made.’’ From the inspection of illuminating oils the net income will be $12,000 j which is practically the sum realized last year. The work ot this impor taut department during the year is not shown, however, in these figures, for while the revenue has not increased, the service has been raised to a point of efficiency never before reached. Dan gerous oils have been driven out of the State, and of that remaining more has been inspected according to law than ever before. The report of the State Oil Inspector will show when completed that over 300,000 gal lons of oil more than iu any oue year before have been inspected this year. The number of local inspectors has been added to, and for this reason the iucome from oils has not perceptibly increased. —Atlanta Constitution. Every Movement Hurts When you have rheumatism.

It Happened in Store. “One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked lor a brand of cough medicine that l did not have in stock, ’’ says Mr. C. R. Graden, the popular druggist of Outario, N. Y “She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I suid to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and that she could take a bot tle of the Remedy and after giving it a a fair trial if she did not find it worth tbe money 10 bring back the bottle aud I would refund the price paid. Iu the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend iu need of a cough medicine and advised her friend to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy.” It is for sale by Dr. C. L. Tucker & Co. ■lryan Or McKinley, Either Bryan or McKinley will be elected president on November 6 Ether tbe republic or the empire will be indorsed. If Bryan wins, it will meau the end of a war ot conquest for unholy greed. If McKinley wins it will mean that that war’ will go on; that American ideals will be repudiated; that the na tional faith will ba betrayed; that the rights of man will be denied; that tbe Declaration of Independence will be* come a mere mocker); that the consti tution will be ignored; that polygamy aud slavery will be indorsed, and aH that for which we have been honestly proud during a hundred and twenty five years of glories national history will be put behind us for a mean aud ignoble ambitiou. The ci'izen must choose Ho may affect to believe that there is some other duty before him than of deciding between the republic and the empire, but if he shall vote for Bryan he will vote to strength en the arm of imperialsm and to crippie that of free government. The issue cannot be dodged. It is either the republic or empire. Which shall it be? Which does the citizen want? If he desires the republic to staud be must vote for Bryan. If he is careless whether it stand or (all he may vote for anybody or fail or refuse to vote at all.—Jonesboro En terprise. The Laud o’ the Sky. (Written at Asheville, N. C.) Mountains that climb to the blue bend on high— Lakes where the stars see themselves in the sky; Violet valleys of beautv and love, Where earth seems so close to the heaven above, You can hear the faint echoes of seraphim feet And the musical beat Of the hearts of the angels—the songs they repeat In their cadences sweet! A wild world of mountains that drift into dreams; The ripple of rills and the dashing of streams That sing to the sea! And tbe beams and the gleams That lure to gardens of beautiful dreams! Of beautiful dreams that have lifted tne soul To the thuuder’s high roll ! Where you slip from life’s care, and its curse aud control, With joy in your soul. God crowned with old glory these mountains; He planted The sky-reaching hills in these valleys en chanted; These streams in the hollows by mystery haunted These oaks that still wave their green ban ners undaunted, And dare the storm’s thunder! . . . and pe ans of praise Mountains—rivers, still raise To tire the heaven above them, while rose scented ways Wreathe the beautiful days! O, land of all beauty—loved Land of the Sky Where Love breathes “Good morning,” and never “goodbv!” Where song on each wild wind in melody roves, And times the bright steps ot the gods ot the groves!
