A COTTON SHOW AT CHICAGO.
A movement haa been started In Au
gusta havInR for Ms Abject the opening
of a Southern cotton exposition In Chi
cago. We do not know that the de
tails of the plan have been worked
out, hut the Idea seems to be the main
tenance for a considerable period of
an attractive display of the cotton
manufacturers of the South, while
proof Is at tho same time furnlahcd
of the advantages possessed by this
ecctlon for cheap production, the gen
eral purpose being—
1.—To make now customers for pres-
. nt products.
2 —To open direct lines of distribution
between producer and consumer.
3.—To bring to the knowledge of the
capitalist. In a most forcible and con
vincing way, tho great opportunities
for prollt which Southern cotton mills
afford. And finally to show to the great
West that Chlcsgo Is the natural and
logical distribution center for $275,000,-
<00 worth of cotton goods annually,
which the South must and will natural
ly and logically make, and to offer to
Chicago the great prize of an Immense
trudo In exchange for Chicago’s migh
ty assistance In building up the South.
It Is thought that the Installation of
such an exhibit would not cost a great
deal of money end that It could be
outdo to pay Its running expense*.
This 1* too much to expect, we think,
hut If half the valuable results the
limjpotors of the exposition hope for
(MillId be achieved, even large expense
would be Justified. One of the projec
tors says ttie exposition tn Chicago
••will make that (ftvnt city aware of
the greatest opportunity In tin whole
marvellous history" and "brtnft to the
aid of the South an ally whoso ut
most energy will be pul forth m the
cause Of Southern development, be
cause there arc hundieds of millions
tn It for Chicago.
The commercial relations of tho South
have heretofore been with tho East
rather than the West. It Ik 1n tho East
that tho South buy* 'and borrows
money. Hut the Idea on which Iho Au
gusta movement Is based 1s not an un
reasonable one. It Is In the West that
the groat cotton manufacturing Indus
try of tho South, tf It develops to the
proportions we all hope for, must look
for 11s principal market, and of the
West Chicago ts tho groat distributing
point. Itw capital and tho courage unit
energy of Its people give It already an
enormous Influence In tho I'ommcrclal
world, and that Influence la certainly
and rapidly tncrraslng. H cannot hr
doubted, therefore, If Chicago were con
vinced that In aiding the rapid devel
opment of the Southern cotton Industry
she would create for herself "the great
est opportunity of her whole marvel
ous history," that she would make that
aid effective.
The Idea loan attractive one. Wo own
see difficulties In the way of carrying
It out. but tho Augusts people have on-
orgy and money and are not arcus,
turned to (allure. They ought to have
the co-operation of the rltles.
SPEAKER REED.
A DO NOTHING CONGRESS.
Tho s-ssloR of congress which Imme
diately precedes a presidential election
has usually beeif given over to the
party maneouvrelng, to tho neglect of
serious legislative business. There ts
even more reason than usual to expect
the session which has Just begun will
be devoted to partisan politics rather
than to the country's business. In fact,
the conditions are extremely unfavor
able to the transaction of business.
The government is made up of antago
nistic forces. The president Is a Dem
ocrat, tho house Is Republican, In the
senate ths Populists hold the balance
of power.
There are undoubtedly periods when
the country needs nothing so much as
relief from congressional Interference
with Its business or threats of Inter
ference. But such a period presupposes
conditions not so bad as to permit a
successful prosecution of the country's
Industries. Do such conditions exist
now? During the last six months there
has been a wonderful revival from the
depression of the panic, but, almost
coincident with the meeting of con
gress, has come a check to the full re
turn o! confidence. The check may not
be serious. No one at present can
gauge It. We are sure It Is not wholly,
or even chiefly, due to conditions ex
isting In this country. But bad cur
rency laws make part of our business
at the mercy of every mischance In
foreign countries, and It may be said
that we take not only our own risks
hut also those of the business men of
foreign countries ns well. They can
demand at any time the money which
tho basis of our business and we
cannot deny them.
Still, It Is not at all likely that con
gress, at this session, will do anything
to Improve the situation or make It
Worse* It Is not by any means a hope
less situation. It Is not as perfect as
congress could make It If It would, but
the mere fact that congress will do
nothing ts an element of strength. At
least the chance of congress making a
mistake Is eliminated.
JUDGE
HARDEMAN’S
TIGN.
RESIGNA-
W« are sure the people of this Judi
cial circuit will hear wtth pleasure
that Judge Hardeman has decided to
withdraw Ms resignation tendered yes
terday to tho bar and that the pressure
brought to bear to Induce him
to reverse I that decision has been
successful. ' Fow men have served
on the bench It! thts state who
have been more popular than
Judge Hardeman. There has never
been the slightest Indication that his
services as a judge were not entirely
acceptable, and hla qualities as a man
have gained him the friendship of all
who came In contaot with him.
Judge Hardeman found that he was
making too great a pecuniary sac
rifice in holding the office. His
experience Is that of Ms predeces
sors No eminent lawyer In full
practice can afford to be the
Judge of a Georgia court, unless
his private fortune be so large that
tho salary Is not a matter of Impor
tance to him. This Is not right. The
bench ought to he able to command

get through with our camping out civ

manners, when we get old enough to
understand that there la a stronghold
of conservatism which stands between
tyranny and anarchism, our eyes will
turn towards the South. And we will
see there a people who are American
In Ideas and In living; a people wor

have made of their land against de
feat and prejudice, ‘the heart of

Eight charming and popular stories
by Ihts gifted young Tennessee writer
arc collected In this beautiful volume.
Each of these stories Is a study that
reveals a different phase of human
character, and each study is a work of
art. Several show the author's subtle
skill In dialect writing, and nil reveal
the hand of a master In delineating
character. Hero we havo Inimitable hu
mor, gleeful fun, delightful sallies of
wit, and genuine pathos, all combined
with extraordinary descriptive powers.
Raelncss, strength, vividness and felic
ity of expression characterise tho au
thor's style. He Is to be pitied who
cart read these stories without being
widened In hla sympathies, elevated In
thought, quickened In conscience and
ennobled In soul. The stories are the
work or a literary genlue, and go far
to Justify an admirer of her writings,
who haa himself no mean fame as sd-

Referring lo the contrast between the
Atlanta exposition and the World's
Fair In the matter of Sunday observ
ance, the Ladles' lloma Journal, one
of the most widely circulated of the
Northern periodicals, takes occasion to
pay the following glowing tribute to the
morality and reverence for sacred
things In the South:
"No truer words can be uttered than
those which say that If we would find
today the American people at their
best, where men end women are guided
la their aotlons by wholeeome eentt-
raent, where people live righteously,
and where the beet of our customs are
perpetuated and lived every day, where
our own language le spoken by all.
where hearts best to the most loyal
national sentiments, and where the
people can be trusted to uphold what
la highest and most lasting in our na
tional life—we must turn to the South.
How Bunday should be kept, or the
manner tn which It should be kept, or
the manner tn which It should be ob
served, does not trouble the Southern
people. Their respect and honor for
the day are too great and deep-seated
to question Its eacredness. They do
not question divine laws In the South;
they accept and perpetuate them. In
tellectual progress there goes hand In
hand with strict adherence to the ac
cepted beliefs of religion. The South
ern mother does not explain the Bible
to her cMIdren In the light of so-called
"modern teaching*;" she place* It tn
their hand* aa her mother gave It to
her. And with the fundamental prin
ciples of religion the Southern child It
taught patriotism and a-love of coun
try; hence religion and patriotism
stand aide by elds In the education of
a Southern child. The Southern people
believe in progress, but progress along
healthy, rational tines. Theories which
Preparations are already being made

A curious Incident Is related of the

nary conflict at Chickamauga and re
marked to his friends that If he could
just find his teeth and Jaw-bone that
he lost there during the battle
would be satisfied. Before he left the
spot he found three teeth .which
llrmly believes are his. He wrapped
them up carefully and took them home
where he will preserve them aa a me

NEW WONDERS
Will Be Worked By Miss Annie Abbott
On Friday Night.
The performance by Annie Abbott,
the Georgia Wonder, at the Academy
of Music on Friday night bids fair to
draw one of the largest audiences of
the season.
It Is true that “a prophet Is never
without honor save tn his own coun
try," but In the case of Mrs. Abbott
her work is so wonderful and so en
tertaining that It cannot fall to at
tract. In addition to thts, the Georgia
Wonder Is a home product and away
from home has played to Immense
houses. In London she received an
ovation, and during her three years'
stay on the continent was entertained
and feted by royalty In the civilized
countries. She has In her possession
now hundreds of autograph letters from
the greatest men In tbe country, and
it Is only to be expected that In her
own home her performance will receive
a full share of attention.
A number of prominent gentlemen
have promised to appear on the stage
as the committee with Mrs. Abbott on
Mondqv night, and a number of the
strongest men In the city will be pitted
against this frail piece of femininity.
Among the new tests to bo shown by
Mrs. Abbott is one described aa follows
by the Nashville Banner In an article
a column long telling ol her perform
ance tn that city:
'A handsome pair of scales were then
brought on and Mr. Turner Henderson,
as an expert weigher, tested them to
his own satisfaction and that of the
committee and audience. Miss Abbott
then stepped on the platform and the
scales not only would not balance, but
showed no regularity In their varia
tions. Btr. Bob Rains then placed his
entire weight on the little woman's
shoulders and she weighed no more.
He then undertook to lift her and her
weight Increased. Here Is a feat that
has baffled all Investigation and will
ever remain one of the things that sim
ply are. The last tests were stunners.
Five men piled on one chair and Bliss
Abbott lifted them first by the under
one's neck and then by the sides of
the chair, all the time holding a fresh
egg between her hand and the chair.
The Georgia Wonder announced at this
Juncture that It was getting late and
that she would bring her entertain
ment to a close if the audience was
satisfied; If not, she would make tests
until daylight before she would let a
skeptic go. There were no complaints
and tbe performance concluded with
one more feat. Six gentlemen grasped
a strong pole and held It to the I* -
Mr. Lucius Burch, who tips the beam
at 200, climbed on top and wtth one
hand that wonderful woman raised
that pole and moved it half way across
the stage, despite the struggles of the
strong men.* It was more than wonder
ful; It was superhuman, uncanny, and
the amazement of the retiring audience
was unbounded."
SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.
In his able work entitled "Longev
ity," published a few years ago, Dr.
John Gardner of England predicts that
a vegetable agent will yet be found
that shall so retard those changes that
bring about old age as to prolong hu
man life much beyond Its present limit
Acting, perhaps, upon the Impulse
produced by this thought, many emi
nent physicians have called from time
to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Leba
non to Inquire of them concerning the
secrets of medicinal plants, In which
theses sincere, simple-minded and God
fearing people are known to be wise
and skilled beyond all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and In return received
from their visitors much valuable In
formation about disease; which they at
once made practical use of. The most
Important point was that If a genuine
and certain remedy could be found for
Indigestion and dyspepsia, and tbe ail
ments growing out of it, a long step
wquld be taken In the right direction.
Old age, said these physicians, begins
In a failure of the digestion, and so do
most diseases at any and all periods of
life. Th* result of these consultations
was the discovery of the Shakers of the
desired specific, made wholly from
herbs, and now known aa the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Its action la magi
cal and worthy of Its origin.
Where there la distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste In
the mouth, biliousness, weakness and
weariness, cold hands and test, aver
sion to food, nervousness, or any other
