The milIs'innst come to the cot¬
ton, and j»i.I * ing from t h<* num¬
ber of mill being built, the south
seems to bo realizing the fact.
Indications are that within the
next live years'more mills will be
Imilt throughout this section than
have been constructed in tbe past
twenty-live years.
The south is the cotton c liter
of the world. The mills must
riiiiic.
Why cannot Adiburn have a
oi'tton factory '( Surely such a
thing is not impossible.
Hr. Talbert is Right.
The following editorial from
the Enquirer-Sun will slow that
Congressman Talbert is ever on
the alert in the interest of his
people. The republicans have
had a practice of passing private
pension bills without a quorum,
and thus squandering the peo¬
ple's money. The democrats, un¬
der the leadership of Mr. Talbert,
bns put them on notice that they
would block legislation when it
was attempted without a quorum.
The Euquirer-Sun says:
“The country will approve the
action of Congressman Talbert,
t.f South Carolina, in forcing the
republicans to abandon their prac-
tica of passing private pension
bills without a quorum of that,
body. The people’s money should
not be. voted away recklessly by
republican members, and the
democrats, under the leadership
of Mr. Talbert, did the proper
thing whoa they put tin* republi¬
can- mi notice that they would
block pension legislation when
ever it was attempted in the ab¬
sence of a quorum.
The announced intention of the
member from South Carolina had
the ell'cct of bringing a quorum
of members to the night session
Friday night, although oven the
republican speaker showed his
anger at the course of Mr. Tal¬
bert by attempting to introduce
Czar B ed’s methods. The re¬
publicans should certainly feel
enough interest in voting away
tin 1 monev of the people to attend
the session in suliieienf numbers
to make a quorum when such
legislation is in prowess. It may
be all right for the house to hear
speeches and listen to the reading
of dry statistics without a quo¬
rum. It is not so bad even for
the house to proceed with the
transaction of unimportant rou¬
tine business without a quorum,
but money should certainly not
be voted away on pensions, or
anything else, in the absence of
a quorum of members, The
stain! taken by Mr. Talbert is
right and proper, and every dem¬
ocrat in the house should stand
by him whenever lie undertakes
to block legislation appropriating that
money, on the ground no
quorum is present.”

All Over the State.
Dalton Argus: Dr. E. B. Mar-
Jr., ill Ccdurtown, a son of
Dr. Iv it. Marshall, of Rome, Ga.,
committed suicide by shooting
himself Monday night Indy in the
Wright Hotel. The was
not discovered until Tuesday
morning. Dr. Marshall had lived
in Ccdartown three years, and it
is thought that dome: tic trouble
wa th’* cause of his death. Dr.
Marshall was a promising young
man, and his untimely and sad
dentil is deeply mourned by many
friends.
Atlanta .Journal: We are glad
to sco the weekly newspapers of
Georgia urging the farmers not to
let. the present good prices of cot¬
ton delude them into the error of
increasing their cotton this acreage
and their fertilizer bills year.
This policy would surely cut down
the price of cotton ns well as pile
up very embarrassing obligations
for the farmers to meet with re¬
duced resources next fall. The
weekly press can do much toward
averting this misfortune, it can¬
not bo too earnest and persistent
in this matter.
Smith Georgia Home: They
are beginning to come in—these
letters with no return card print¬
ed on one corner of the envelope.
Oil the inside is an eloquent type
written appeal from some candi¬
date who wants ua to announce
him free of any fee. Gentlemen,
know ye that, those things call
for cold cash? When you write
to the Home without enclosing
the usual fee, ye do err, and more
than that, ye do write in vain,
and your stamps bring unmindful ye no re¬
turn. Bo ye not of
these things, dearly beloved. Our
fees are ns follows: Announce¬
meats for county cilices, $5, legis¬
lature, $7, Slate senate, judges
superior court and solicitors gen-
oral, $10 each; congressmen,
Mato officers and United States
senators, $15. A strict com¬
pliance with these rules tiuueth
away wrath; but an empty com¬
munication do stir up strife.
Flunk down the silver, oh ye of
little faith.
Little \Vu and the Philadelphia
Girl.
The young daughter of a for¬
mer Philidelphian is a school¬
mate of little Wu, the son of the
Chinese embassador at Washing¬
ton, says the Philadelphia Re¬
cord. During a recent visit here
she often Calked about the little
Celestial, and told tales about,
him that seemed to indicate that
little M u at times gentlv guys
his Christian schoolmates.
“He is awfully cute," she said,
“ami speaks very correct Eng¬
lish. What he likes best to eat,
lie says, is malhi. That is young
mice, dipped in honey and swal¬
lowed raw. A horrible thing,
isn't it? But Wu says that milhi
aren’t half so squashy and slimy
as raw oysters. His mother’s
feet are so tinv that she can hard¬
ly walk at all. Mie is pushed
about in a wheeled chair.
“1 asked Wu once if he
think it was cruel to torture the
Chinese ladies' feet like that.
lie said: ‘Virginia, my papa
says that whenever any person
asks me that question I must
make the following than replv : “It is
not more cruel for American
ladies to torture their waists in
stou j oorso * s uni,') Dieir noses arc
i )e et-red and their shapes like an
hour-fclass.” ’ Then he gave a
loud laugh and walked away
w jt} t |,j s little hands in the pock'¬
of his baggy brocade trousers.
H,> looks awfully grave and
funny.'
