Kisses which fall upon the denii’s mute
lips,
Like dew on roses which tlie first frost
nips,
Come all too late:
'Tis better far to give them while tlie lips
can speak:
The golden chord of life at best is weak;
Alt! do not wait,
Kind words in ears whose earthly powers
are spent,
Like sunshine on tlie tree by lightning
rent,
Can give no balm.
1 is better far to give them while those
ears can hear:
For life Inis much of woe and much of
fear'
And love brings calm.
I t is too late, when life's lamp burnetii low.
When hands once warm are chill as win
ter's snow,
To do kind deeds;
'Tis better litre where feet are prone to
slide,
’Tis better now than wait till even-tide,
To help their needs.
All, friends! dear friends—if any such
there be—
Keep not your loving thoughts away from
me
Till I am gone;
; I want them now to lielp me on nv way,
| As lonely watchers want the light’of day
lire it is morn.
And though sometimes my heart, o’er
some sore wrong
Long brooding, weaves some bitterness in
song,
’Tis but a shade
Within life’s textures where the best are
poor;
olt, close not up'to many faults Love’s
door!
1 need your nid.

Only Forty-Eight Votes.
New York World.
Four years ago Mr. McKinley’s ma
jority in tho Electoral College whs 95.
If Mr. Bryan can keep the 170 votes
east for him then, only 48 more are
necessary to secure ids election.
Delaware lias 3, Maryland 8, West
Virginia 0, Kentucky 12—a totnl of
29 votes from old Democratic States
which prior to 1890 hud never in
twenty years gone Republican and
which should return to the Demo
cratic column this year.
This would leave only 19 more
votes necessary.
Indiana, which has 15, was a com
paratively close State in 1800. It lias
regularly seesawed from Democratic
to Republican and back lor twenty-
eight years, and is due to return to
the Democratic column this year; so
that the Democrats are hopeful of
carrying it for Mr. Bryan, as they did
for Tilden and twice for Cleveland.
This would leave only four votes
necessary,
A Democratic plurality in any one
of the five Middle Sthtes—Ohio, Illi
nois, Michigan, Minnesota or Wiscon
sin—would more than supply this
deficiency. A Change of loss than 4,-
000 votes would have carried Ohio
for Tilden in 1870. In 1892 the State
was so close that Cleveland actually
received one of its electoral votes,
and in thul year Wisconsin and Illi
nois both went for Cleveland.
In Michigan the Republicans are
reported to have special points of
weakness, notably the defection of
Gov. Pingree, the presence of 20,-
000 Hollanders in the State, and
the corruption and offensive rule of
the corporations.
Tho fusiouists in Minnesota elected
Gov. Lind in 1898 by a plurality of
20,000 over his Republican opponent.
Any one of these States would sup
ply not only the four votes necessary
on this basis, hut would also give Mr.
Bryan a surplus varying from five to
twenty to offset any loss he might
sustain in the- States he carried in
1890.

In After Years.
Chicago Tribune.
They met again in after years, by
chance, at the dofir of a circus tent—
the Judge and the middle-aged mat
ron who had been Maud Muller.
“Great Scott!” muttered the Judge
to himself, as he noted her sallow
face, faded hair, stubby fingers with
the marks of the washboard on them,
and the group of slatternly children
she was angrily trying to induce the
ticket-seller to pass in free, “what a
lucky escape I had!”
“Merciful heavens!” she mused in
wardly, looking at his bald head, wa
tery eyes, double chin, and protu
berant stomach, “and I once wanted
to marry that man!”
They passed in, with their respec
tive noses perceptibly elevated, and
were listening a few minutes later to
the time-honored jokes of the clown.
The emergency bags sent by a
church society to Kansas soldiers in
the Philippines contained among the
necessities a, box of DeWitt’s Witch
Hazel Salve, the well-known cure for
piles, injuries and skin diseases. The
ladies took care to obtain the original
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salvek, nowlng
that all counterfeits are worthless. G.

Cotton is Still King.
Washington, Sept. 20.—Cotton is
again “king” in the export record of
the United States. Dollar wheat in
1898 brought the exportation of
breadstufls far above that of cotton,
but 10-cent, eolton in 1900 brings
that agricultural product again iuto
first place in the record of exports by
single articles. The seven months
ending with July, 1900, Bhowed an
exportation of cotton amounting to
(142,670,097, while of broHdstuiTs the
total exportation during the same pe
riod was (188,804,629; that of pro
visions $100,808,850, and that of
mineral oil, the next largest item,
$39,498,151. The general group
“manufactures” is larger tlinn that of
cotton alone, but no single item, or
even the group “breadstuff*,” which
includes wheat, com, oats, barley,
rye, etc,, equals cotton during the
seven months ending with July, 1900.
Cotton exportations and move
ments are measured usually by what
is termed the “cotton year,” which
ends with the month of August. The
Treasury Bureau of Statistics has juBt
received the record of August expor
tations, and is thus able to make up
the figures for the “cotton year” and
compare thorn with those of the pre
ceding year. These reports, which
are of u preliminary nature, include
about 28 per cent, of the total ex
ports of cotton, and as the compari
son of the present year is made with
the similar reports of preceding
years, the relative showing for the
various years Is a fair one. A study
of the exportation of cotton supplied
by these figures shows that tho ex
ports of raw cotton during tho cotton
year ending with August, 1000, are
greater in value thau In any preced
ing cotton year since 1892, and the
nverage price per pound greater than
on any occasion since 1803, except in
the year 180(1.
The following tnble shows the quau- |
tity, value and average' price per I
pound of cotton exported during each i
“cotton year” ending August 31, 1
1887 to 1900:

A Chifef Justice’s Jests.
London News.
One day (a legul correspondent
writes) before the late lord chief jus
tice took sick, he was sitting in court,
when another barrister, leaning across
the benches, whispered: “Russell,
what’s the extreme penalty for big-
■ amy?” “Two mothfcil'fl-Iu-law,” lu-
I stantly replied Russell.
! On cue occasion Lord Russell went
to help the Liberals in a certain cam
paign. He began hia speech of set
purpose with some very badly pro
nounced Scotch. After the confusion
caused by his apparent blunder had
subsided, Sir Charles Russell (as lie
then was) said: “Gentlemen, I do
not speak Scotch, but I vote Scotch.”
Tremendous applause followed,
whereupon Sir Charles proceeded,
“and I sometimes drink Scotch.”
With this bis hold on the audience
was secured.
Although unrivaled in the art of
cross-examination, on one occasion
he was distinctly beaten by a witness.
“What is your age?” he asked. “Is
it my age you are asking?” replied
the witness. “Yes, sir. Now, speak
up and be exact.” “And be exactl
Well, of ail the—” “The court does
not desire to hear any comments of
yours, Teii the court your age.”
“Well,” said the man, “I celebrated
my twelfth birthday last week.”
“Don’t trifle with the court, and re
member you are on oath.” “It’s
quite true, I was born on Feb. 29, in
leap year, and my birthday only
comes once in four years.”
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Great
Favorite.
The soothing and healing proper
ties of this remedy, its pleasant taste
and prompt and permanent cures,
have made it a great favorite with
people everywhere. It is especially
prized by mothers of small children
for colds, croup, and whoopiDg cough,
as it always affords quick relief, and
as it contains no opium or other
harmful drug, it may be given as con
fidently to a baby as to an adult. For
sale by all Newnan druggists and W.

Cotton Not Being Held Back.
Savannah News.
If the Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association has tried to influence
farmers to hold back cotton it haB not
been very successful. Notwithstand
ing that it is generally believed that
the crop is shorter thau last year’s
crop, and nlso later, more cotton baa
been received up to this time than
had been received at this date last
year.
It may be that owing to the high
price of cotton tho protective associa
tion has thought it advisable to let
farmers follow their own judgment in
the matter. But, whether it has or
not, it is evident thut the farmers are
not holding back cotton.
It may turn out, however, that they
will wish they had. There is some
ground for thinking that the price
will advnnco considerably beyond
what It is at present. Still the price
is tempting. It is so much greater
than farmers have been accustomed
to receive that most of them nre in
clined to be satisfied with It—so well
satisfied that they are not likely to
listen to any advice the protective
association mny give. The time for
the protective association to make, a
favorable impression is when the
price at the beginning of the season
Is low.

A short time ago, at a school in the

“Can any boy name me an animal
of the order indeutata; that is, a
toothless animal?” •
A hoy whoso face beamed with
pleasure at the prospect of ugood re
mark, replied:
“1 can.”
“Well, what is l lie animal?”
“My grandfather,” replied the boy,
