NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 4,
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Not This Way in the South.
AfiMricui Tlmen-Rcconler.
T. P. O'Connor, the well-known Irish
member of Parliament and writer on
political and other current topics, after
studying conditions in New York has
reached the conclusion that to the mftps
of the people in the metropolis this
country simply means an opportunity to
make a better living than elsewhere—
that they have no regard for its histor
ic past, do not care a snap of their fin
gers for its great characters, and would
not, under any conditions, bestir them
selves to activity in a great issue. Pa
triotism, in the highest Bense, is prac
tically an unknown quantity with them.
The man of wealth is a far more im
posing figure in their eyes than the
statesman or the hcroof the battlefield.
O’Connor expresses himself about them
in this fashion:
A man snid to me the other day, with
indignation in his voice, that the young
New Yorker who passes through the
streets to-day never stops to look at
statue of Washington or Lincoln
Grant, or any of the other men who
created the nation and protected it
from destruction. To him the only in
teresting thing to point out is the house
of Andrew Carnegie or Rockefeller, or
any of the other men who have amassed
vast fortunes. These are the really in
teresting persons.
Yet why should my friend be so in
dignant? This young mnn who is so lit
tle interested in Washington and Lin
coln, and so much in Carnegie and
Rockefeller, came from Europe, or his
father came before him. He is not a
native of tho soil, and to him the great
attraction of America was that he could
make money here which he could not
make in his own poor country. Wash
ington and Lincoln belong to a past
which is dead to him; which, indeed, to
some extent, is dead to all America.
The conditions are entirely changed.
I doubt very much if it would be pos
sible in tho America of to-day to have
anything like the Civil War which rent
America for four terrible years some
forty years ago. You couldn't get any
of these foreign millions to interest
themselves sufficiently in the question
whether slavery should be abolished or
not. Indeed, there aro a good many of
them who think that the slavery of the
black man has been succeeded to a
largo extent by tho slavery of tho white
man. For there is dee)), widespread
and fierce discontent in America, in
spite of nil the splendid wealth, enter
prise and energy of the country.
It may bo that this is a somewhat ex
aggerated view of it, or it may even be,
to the contrary, a minimized statement
of the conditions that oxist in the North
whore tho old native population is in
danger of being submerged under the
millions of immigrants flocking in from
Southern Europe. That his statements
are measurably true no one will doubt.
And such being tho case the South can
have cause for still further congratula
tion that it still adhereB to the old
paths; that its eyes have not been riv
eted on gold ns the only umbition
worth pursuing; that to it Washington,
Jefferson, Lee and others of its great
sons of tho past century still stand
higher than the Rockefellers and Car-
negles and Ryans and Morgans of the
present. It may bu provincialism, but
let us all hope it is a provincialism that
will last, that tho education of the chil
dren along those linos will continue,
and that it will never bo possible for a
visiting foreigner to say of tho people
in oneof our cities that the minumcnts
mean nothing to them, that the historic
spots havo no significance, and that tho
man who has grown rich by doubtful
means iB tho idol at whoso foot they
fall and worship.

“The Romance of Cotton.”
Aufru*ta Herald.
Under the caption, “The Romance of
Cotton,” the New York World has
very suggestive editorial article on the
chief crop of the South. The world—
not the New York World, but all man
kind—is thinking more of cotton to-day
than it has thought about it Bince the
period of storm and stress in the early
sixties, when war cut down the supply.
Never, with the exception of that pe
riod, has the world bo keenly realized
its need of cotton.
The New York World considers the
story of cotton to-day as a romance.
"Coincident," it says, “with the short
age in the American crop and the ex
cited speculation in the staple on the
New York Cotton Exchange, the Brit
ish government has granted $50,000 for
furtherexperiments in cotton culture in
her tropical African colonies. The two
facts illustrate what is really a romance
hidden under dry statistics."
A year or two ago we heard and read
much of experiments throughout the
world for the purpose of depriving the
South of its pre-eminence in cotton.
But we still hold the markets of the
universe, and will hold them. Says The
World: “No other country ever held a
monopoly or a vital product as the
Southern States held and still hold of
cotton." As to the efforts made by
other countries to raise cotton success
fully, The World says:
"Despite all the efforts of other na
tions, chiefly Great Britain and Russia,
the Southern monopoly of cotton grows
stronger. Our percentage of the
world’s cotton crop rises slowly, decade
by decade. Egypt produces line cotton,
but Egypt is only a delta and a strip
the total area of which could be hidden
in a comer of Louisiana or Mississippi.”
Several years ago Great Britain se
cured experts from the Southern States
and sent them to tropical Africa to
teuch the natives how to grow cotton.
They grew it, but either the climate
was too warm or the soil unsuitable, as
the product wa3 so coarse that it could
not be used. The new experiments are
likely to result in the same way. All
attempts have failed in Australia. Rus
sia has done a little in Central Asia, but
it is by irrigation, and the area there is
very limited.
After all of these failures,” says
The World, “the buyers of cotton
throughout the globe have always come
back to our own South. There climate,
soil, transportation and a vast Bupplyof
cheap and effective labor seem to have
created those conditions which havo en
abled her, despite a disorganized social
and economic Bystem, to produce regu
larly from 70 to 80 per cent, of tho
world’s cotton. A single Btaple has
never before had so powerful an influ
ence over such a vast region and been
bo influential in making human histo
ry.”

Shaking Dice With Death.
Homor C. Gcorgo In Collier’s Weekly.
Automobile racing is unquestionably
tho most dangerous sport in the world.
Death lurks at its skirts all tho while.
Frequently it reaches out for a victim.
Accidents are more or less usual. Yet
the colony of auto racing professionals
is growing rapidly. Its history is for
gotten. Only its sensations are evident
now.
"Shaking dice with death,” is a
phrase brought to us by the “barn
stormers" who took chargeof auto rac
ing a few years ago when public senti
ment almost crushed it because of the
horror of many accidents in quick suc
cession. It was coined by a press agent
whose talents were directed to attract
ing crowds.
In the last few years some of the no
table victims of the sport have been its
greatest votaries. Yet the popularity
of the game has increased, despite the
toll.
Drivers to-day know they are “shak
ing dice with death.” They have rac
ing history to inform them, and almost
every-day accidents to drive homo the
knowledge. It is always with them—
this knowledge of danger—but they are
afraid to be afraid. Just before he
started in the race which cost him his
life at Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 17, 1908,
Strieker was asked if he ever thought
of tho time when newsboys might be
crying the story of his own misfortune.
HU answer is characteristic:
I never think of that, ” said he. “I
know that some time an accident will
occur it I continue driving. Suppose I
brooded over the probability, I could not
drive. My very carefulness would re
sult in disaster. I never give danger a
thought when in a car. It is not be
cause 1 am bold. It is not because I do
not know of the possibilities. It is be
cause I am afraid to be afraid.”

Why He Returned.
Last winter Mrs. Clifford A. Neff,
who resides in that part of Bratenahl
still known as Doan, sorted out her hus
band’s cast off clothing. To the first
applicant who came along she handed a
complete suit of clothes which she
thought had seen enough service, and
the man went off rejoicing and volubly
thanking her.
This week he reappeared at the Neff
home, where he was immediately rec
ognized.
“Last year, madam,” he said with a
bow, “you were kind enough to give
me a suit of clothes. In the pocket of
the coat 1 found a dollar bill, all crum
pled up, and—”
“And you waited all this time to re
turn it, interrupted Mrs. Neff.
“No, madam,” replied the panhand
ler, with another bow. “I called to
ask if you hadn’t another coat to give
me.”

A Condition That WiU Make the
South Rich.
Monroe (La.) News.
It is authoritatively stated that South
ern cotton mills are now consuming 2,
500,000 bales of cotton a year, or as
much bs all the other mills of the Uni'
ted States are consuming of Southern'
grown cotton, and that the South is
now spending $20,000,000 annually in
building cotton mills. These are signifi
cant facts, and should be pondered by
all citizens, as they indicate tremend
ous advances along industrial lines.
Only a few years ago the New England
States were consuming almost all the
cotton that was manufactured in Amer
ica, and cotton mills in the South were
few and extremely far between. Such
is not the case to-day, as is made evi
dent by the facts given above.
When the South shall have reached
its full development; when this country
has attained that importance which by
nature it is destined to reach, all the
cotton produced in the South will be
manufactured into fabrica in the South.
Southern capitalists and business men
have demonstrated their ability to suc
cessfully manage large manufacturing
plants, and there is no reason why the
South should not become the manufac
turing center of the cotton industry. It
seems the acme of foolishness to ship
the raw material hundreds of miles to
be converted into cloth and then buy it
back, paying freight in both directions,
when it could be manufactured here at
home. This, however, is in keeping
with the idea and custom of. maintain
ing corn-cribs ami smoke-houses in some
far-off Western State. Our success
ful farmers have abandoned this suici
dal practice, and .are growing inde
pendent, because they are learning the
secret of “living at home and trading
at the same place.” Our far-seeing
capitalists and business men are rapid
ly coming to realize the importance of
home manufactories, and the expendi
ture of $20,000,000 a year for cotton
mills indicates that long strides are be
ing taken in the direction of "moving
the cotton mills to the cotton fields.”

CURES
• OLD SORES
Every old sore is an infected spot on the flesh, kept
open by constant drainage of impure blood into the place.
One of the principal constituents of blood is plasma,
a healing property. Where the circulation is pure this
element of the blood, which is of a glutinous or sticky
nature, performs the necessary work in healing nil sores,
wounds and lacerations. It does this by sticking or
joining the parts together, while nature causes a knitting
of the tissues nnd solidifies the place.
This healing property is frequently destroyed by
impure accumulations in the blood, and this vital fluid
not only loses its power to heal, but becomes a source of
irritation and disease to any open sore or ulcer on the
body. Constantly it discharges its morbid matters into
the place, and gradually it causes the infection to
spread, and the sore enlarges. The morbid matter in the blood comes
from different causes, A long spell of debilitating sickness, which breeds
disease germs in the system, the retention of the refuse matters of the body
because of a sluggish condition of th»
eliminative members, a continued ma.
larial state of the system, inherited bad
blood, etc., are usually responsible,
S. S. S. heals sores and ulcers In
the very simplest way. It just goes
into the circulation, -and removes the
impurities and polluted matter that are
the means of keeping the ulcer open;
then the sore is bound to heal. S.S.S. is.
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and
not only does it cleanse the circulation,
but it adds every necessary property to
it to promote good health. It is of the
very greatest tonic value, and those who
have been weakened and run down by
tlie constitutional drainage of an old
sore will find it the very remedy needed.
S.S.S. does not simply cause a scab to come over an old sore, but beginning at
the bottom it heals the place permanently by building new tissue and filling
in the place with firm, healthy flesh. Special book on Sores and Ulcers and
