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 tho 'best legal talent, not merely for a short time, but for long terms. mentally upset find no sympathy with them. They are content to move slow ly but sanely and surely. And some day when the vast majority of u» who Uve In other portions of the country get through with our camping out civ ilisation, when we drop our boastful 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 shipful, progressive, earnest, cour ageous and patriotic—a people who have made of their land against de feat and prejudice, ‘the heart of America.' * The above kind expressions will awaken at sense of appreciation In every true Southron who reads them. They are In striking contrast with the utterances of she bloody shirt tribe who delight In abuse and In fanning flames of sectional prejudice for per sonal or political purposes. All honor to Edwin W. Bok, the fair-minded and generous-hearted editor of the Ladles' Home Journal. known yet who will be candidates tor the Judgeship, though U Is generally believed that Solicitor-General Sheffield will hare no opposition.

Thursday afternoon Will Comer, a white youth of Rome, and some com panions were out with their guns when they came up with a crowd of negroes. Comer and a negro boy named Will Anderson became engaged tn a quar rel. Anderson called Comer a vile name and cursed him and Comer fired at him with his rifle. The negro fell, with a bullet hole through his arm near the shoulder. He bled profusely, but the wound Is not considered dangerous. Comer was arrested and locked up.

The Populists of Oglethorpe county will hold a mass meeting In the court bouse at Lexington Tuesday. A movement Is on foot for the cel ebration of a day In honor of President Collier at the Atlanta exposition. Coffee county farmers have housed the largest forage crop tn the history of the county. Dr. R. E. Green of Gainesville re ceived an order from a firm In Newi foundland for 65,000 pounds of factory thread. It will require about 125 bales of cotton to make this amount. Thomasvllle Enterprise: The negroes of aeorgla return, approximately, $13,- 000,000 worth of property this year. How's that for progress? Columbus Ledger: Atlanta and Ma con seem to have burled the hatchet for a while. New York and Chicago can now have the field to themselves. Darien Gazette: The Atlanta exposi tion ought to have a "Democratic day" before It closes Its gates. We want to see the Democrats of old Georgia "get together.” The people of Rome are making a move tn prohibit the circulation of such papers as the Kansas City Sun and the Atlanta Looking Glass In their city. The race for lieutenant, governor of the state seems to show signs of be coming quite lively even before the bill creating such an office Is passed by the legislature. J. IS. Austin of Cordele has been granted a patent on a check book which he has Invented. He already has a patent on a general balance book which greatly shortens the work on bank books.

When he sat In Hie speaker's rhtlr during the fifty-first congiess Mr. Steed saw before him a house almost equally divided between the parties and was charged with the duty of put ling through a programme of legislation hound from Its nature to excite the bit terest hostility of the minority. He rec ognised from the start the fact (hat It h* had regard for the laws which usually govern legislative todies hla task was a hopeless one, and adopted the only methods by which he rould be successful. It Is to the credit of his courage and devotion to party that he played hla role of tyrant without flinch. Ing, under difficulties that moat other turn would have found overwhelm ing. Ths Reed rules will be adopted, of course, for the government of the pres ent house. So much will be necessary to vindicate the speaker's former ad ministration. Hut there Is little ehanee that thle session of the bouse will know the scenes of exoitemeat that characterised both sessions of the flfty- flrst contras*. The Democrats are only a small minority and can make only a feeble resistance, and the policy of the epeaker’a party will be a waiting one.

THE HEART OF OLD HICKORY. Will Allen Dromgcole. Cloth. $1.25; Paper, 50 CenlH. The Arena Pub lishing Company. Copley Square, Roston, Maas. 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- Itor. author and critic. In calling Will Allen Dromgools the "Charles Dickens of the New South.",, "HEART OF AMERICA." 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 for the celebration of Gon. Leo's birth day. It occurs on Jan. 13, and Is a le gal holiday In Georgia and several other Southern states. Lee's memory still lives, and will so long as Southern men and women live. Jeffersonville Enterprise: Two of our boys, near thla place, went up to Macon a few days ago to sell a bale of cotton and to see Santa Claus, but they became so attached to a free lunch oounter that they forgot to sett their cotton, lost the wagon and mules, so they took the ankle excursion for home, rejoicing over their tree lunch. Oh, where are my wagon, mules and cot ton? Mayor Myers of Savannah boa ad dressed a circular letter to the mayors and councllmen of all the towns in the state requesting their assistance In se curing from the legislature a bill which will permit a town to tax property ac cording to class, Instead of putting the same rate on all kinds of property. It la thought that such a measure will en courage the Investment of capital In many kinds of industry. DANGER AHEAD! This Is the Sums When Colds Arm Co»- tree ted and Dletrseelag Cough.

Among the old Confeder ate veterans who attended the dedlca- tory exercises was Capt. Sloan of Mis sissippi. He went to the spot, as -well as he could remember, where his com pany was tatloned during the sangul- 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 mento of that bloody battle.

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 symptom of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove Its curative virtues. Behind It Is the reputation of the people who have never defrauded or deceived their fel low men. In order to test whether this remedy Is adapted to your case, at practically no cost, you may procure a trial bottle for ten cente of almost any druggist TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
