Friday, November 4, 1904, Lol e i EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS It is estimated that two persons die every second, In this great world of ours there are 2,750 languages. Teddy's “slide for life” occurs November Bth, says the Macon Telegraph. When a man marries for mon ey he has to work overtime trying to collect his salary. A physician’s report would properly come under the head of the news of the weak, The owl has a reputation for wisdom and yet he always looks on the dark side of things. It is reported that the Shanghai Customs have prohibited the ex portation of eggs, alleging that they are contraband of war. It 18 admitted by everybody who attended the state fair just closed in Macon that it was a great success in everyway. A breach of promise case at Eldorado, Towa, has brought out the fact that the woman in the case received over 3,000 love-let. ters. She was suing for SIOO,OOO. A New York doctor, says the Savannah News, claims to have killed a cat and brought it to life again. But as he did it only once we fail to see anything so remark able about it, Hasn't a cat nine lives anyhow? The way my brother got out of jail, says a Kalamazoo man, was this: The governor visited the jail one day and my brother acci dentally stepped on his foot. He said :*‘Par don me, governor,” and the governor did. A Missouri legislator, by seme hook or crook, got on the Louisi ana Exposition opening pro gramme for a speech. He fell asleep just before his time to speak, and when he heard his name called aroused himself, rub hiseyesand answered ‘‘not guilty." In answer to one of the copies of the Breeze sent out by the Board of Trade the Monticello News, a handsome eight page pa per comesto us marked all over with crosses, which means that the Breeze must continue its weekly visits,. The editor of the News being a lady the Breeze will be apt to reach her regularly if we have to go and carry it ourself.— The Douglas (Ga.) Weekly Breeze. Many thanks, The Breeze isone of the brightest, neatest and most original sheets which comes to our table, It isin every way worthy the name it bears and its week ly visits will be very refreshing. Grover Cleveland was on hisl way to the Grand Central Smtinn“ one morning several years before he became President of the L'nit-} ed States. At the {urther end of the Madison avenue car were its’ only other passengers, several| saucy specimens of the genus small boy. They tittered and whispered as they noticed the fu. ture President’s great size. Then they became bolder and said to each other something about being *fed on yeast.,” Mr, Cleveland seemed to be much amused at the impudence of the lads. Yet, as they left the car at Thirty-fourth street, he could not resist a joke at their expense: *‘lt's a pity, my boys," he said, ‘‘that your moth. er couldn’t have fed you on yeast. Perhaps you'd have been better bred.” | (A - g e — %,—‘. ‘i; >s e e sS e T e SRR Pey 2 S PR V.

PARKER'S COMHENT ‘“The governmental expenditure last year mounted up to five hundred and eighty-two millions, which is not equal led by any year since the civil war, with the exception of the year of the Spanish war. Instead of a surplus in the annual receipts of about eight millions, which the present executive found en assuming control, there is now a deficit to be found of forty-two millions. There is an in evitable result to such extravagance.” — Judge Parker's speech to the democratic editors. PRICE AFFECTED BY RECEIPTS, Into every cotton market in Georgia, as through the cotton belt, farmers are pouring a wealth of bales just now, says anexchange. Never before has the crop been gathered thus early and at such rap’d r:ltq'. and the surprise is that prices have allalong remained above ten cents under such condition. And while farmers are selling the great buik of the crop at prevailing prices, there is no question that with concert of action it could be made to bring millions more to the producers. There is now no question of the crop being a moderate, not to say small one, compared to what was expected two, or even one month ago. The whole spinning world is depleted of cotton; must have cotton no matter what the cost. The present crop can be made to average atleast 12 cents if not 15 cents per pound to the growers, if the growers will gin and sell cautiously. If only half the cotton picked each week is placed on the market and the other half held back, either stored in warchouse, when money must be obtained or stored on the farms either ginned and baled or in the seed, there would be no glutting the market for November and December, which is the very condition the speculators want, in order that they may be able to buy now what will be in active demand the world over, at much higher prices after January 1. Allthat is neededis concerted action and backbone to force the markets to respond to conditions never so favorable to be controlled or adjusted for the * grower’s interest. It is all ready for the farmers’ action, and concerted action will control the crop movement and prices fqu;‘ cotton and seed, and give the producer the benefit heretofore al ways received by speculative middlemen. The cotton «rp now being harvested can be made the most valuable crop ever gather ed if the farmers will act in concert and on similar lines dtate, gountyin_déf"fi?mmquyz"k o ! Sl S ENFORCE THE VAGRANCY LAW, Just now the larger Southern cities and smaller ones too for that matter, are suffering from a congestion of negroes, thousands of them flocking in from the country, not to seek work but to live by their wits, says the Americus Times-Recorder. Memphis, es pecially, with a negro population of fifty thousand, is up against aserious proposition. The streets and saloons are crowded, while the demands for labor from every direction are increasing. The planters and employers of common labor are unable to ob tain men to work, the housewives of the city want servantsand laundries want laundresses, but even extortionate wages do not a vail. How do they live when they stop work? It is quite cer tain that the white people will not forever tolerate the system of allowing their kitchen servants to feed these idlers from the back door, The execution of a good vagrant law will not only be a good thing for society in general, but the negroes in particular. Indeed, for all idlers white and black. A man who has no visible means of support should be made to work, for work is after all the best guaranty of good conduct. If all the towns, counties and States should operate together on this line, the labor ques tion would be quicklysolved and some of the phases of the race problem would be simplified. Crime would become less fre. quentand the friction between the races growing out of crimes would be moderated. As Memphis scems to be the Southern city most affected with idle negroes, lel the officials there see what they can accomplish in the way of enforcing the vagrancy laws. It would beanobject lesson for other towns and cities and perhapsa general system of abolishing vagrancy may be success fully put in practice throughout the South Manifestly, the South is no place for idleness, certainly not for an idle negro. A negro who declines to work should go North, for up there the people don't want him to work. In the South the case is dif ferent, MRS. LONGSTREET IS APPOINTED. Mrs. Ellen Dortch Longstreet is to receive the appointment as postmistress at Gainesville, Ga. Official notification to this effect has been received in Atlanta by Colonel W. H. Johnson, United States Marshal, who is the recog nized head of the republican par ty in Georgia. This came in a private telegram from Private Secretary Loeb, who notified Col. Johnson that the appointment of Mrs Longstreet to succeed Col one! Farrow had been determined upon by President Roosevelt.— Milledgeville News. Don't forget to vote Tnesday! Y MR. ROOSEVELT'S ORDER ‘\By direction of the President, officials will neither discuss nor give oul any in formation vegardingdhe annual estimales until further orders.”’ — Ovder issued yesterday by President FRoosevelt to heads of departments at Washington. 'THE OLD FAITHFUL SUBSCRIBER.
