King Cotton’s March.
The government report issued
Monday put the cotton crop at
10,107,810 bales.
In a flash cotton had jumped a
score of points, and a score again
and again. Within five minutes
nearly $50,000,000 had been added
to the value of the south’s staple
crop. And Georgia with more
than 1,500,000 kales lo her credit
acquired about $7,000,000 as her
portion.
The crop is fixed, prices are set
at their lowest, and from now on
it is simply a question of the care¬
ful disposing of the cottou now in
the hands of the farmer. An this
amount is far from trival, for the
man who made the crop is now
holding the major part of it. Here
tofore the crop has been hurried
out, and to the brokers and the
buyers weut the additional prices.
Today the southern farmer is
happy and prosperous, No frown
of pessimism rests on his sun
browned forehead, Cotton is king
and the farmer is the power behind
the throne.—Constitution.
The Common People.
If there ever was a time in the
history of American politics when
the people were more determined
to rule than they are now, we do
not recall it. They are asserting
their rights aud demanding a square
and honest deal. Long live the
common people. — Chattanooga
News.
It is said that the voice of the
people is the voice of God. Why
shouldn’t the common people as¬
sert their right to rule? They toil
and swet aud produce the wealth
that makes greatness and strength
they always rally to the common
defense of the couutry when war's
trumphet sounds to arms; their
brawn and brain have proven po¬
tent factors iu making our couutry
the greatest on earth. Then it
should not be thought stange that
they should assert their manhood
in our system of government in
demanding a place among its rul
ei’3.—Marietta Journal.

ington is for everybody to patron¬

Womzn and The Ballot.
Discussing the topi: in New
York, “You'd it he wise for wo¬
men to use the ballot? » J at the
of the Epiphany, Sunday,
Dr Madison Peters said:
( t It is not a question of simple
as equality with a man, but
it be wise? I do not deny
right of women to smoke ctg
or to use the rough lan¬
of men, but I am inclined to
helive the women who do these
things, are, as some one has put
it, ‘No gentlemen and if the
sexes are to be equalized, I would
rather it were done by refining the
men than by the vulgarizing of
women.
< ( Would a woman’s vote alter
things? Yes, if only good women
vote. Few good women would
avail themselves of the privilege,
but all the bad women would. The
responsibilities which would logi¬
cally follow this advance of women
would mean that henceforth she
would not be represented by any
man, and her exercising the lull
function of citizenship would make
such a change as would make her
more a man than a woman. A
female man, an affected, driveling
little doddle, a weak sister dress¬
ed up iu man’s clothing is enough
to fill you with disgust, but of a
mannish woman, good Lord deliv¬
er me from expressing my opinion
lest I should say something not in
the prayer book. > J
Shipping Oranges to London.
California oranges are now be
fng Hhipped to London at a rate of
$1 per 100 pound, that cnaige
covering both rail and ocean
fteights. The rate across the con¬
tinent to American cities is $1.25
par 100 pounds. The California
rate to London is said to be much
lower than the rate allowed Flori¬
da, giving California oranges a
decided advantage over Florida’s
in the London market. But if the
Londoners are wise with respect
to the flavor of fruits, they should
be willing to pay a great deal
more fore Florida oranges—the
finest in the world. But that is
no reason for a discrimination
against Florida.
Bent Her Double.
“I knew no one, for four weeks when
I was sick with typhoid and kidney
trouble,” writes Mrs. Annie Hunter, of
Pittsburg. Pa., “and when I got better
although I had one of the best doctors I
could get I was bent double and had to
reel my hands on my knees when I
walked. From this terrible affliction I
was rescued by Electric Bitters, which
restored my health and strength and
now I can walk asstraightas ever. They
are simply wonderful." Guaranteed to
cure stomach, liver and kidney disord¬
ers; at Brooks & .Smith and Covington
