Covington, Ga., Dec., 8. 1905 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.

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."
