A COMMENDABLE KLIORD.
The Nows hasn venturei to hard
oat much in the wii' of so-called
political bouquet* since it has boon un
der the regime of the present, but now
an I then n political friend does gome
things which o igh' 10 hove a fittle en
dorsement. Tiiere is no way to be on
the fence. There nro just two sides,
the right and the wr ng, and when it
comes to p ditics it is simply n matter of
opinion.
In tho 1 arecr of Carl Vinson, repre
sentative from Baldwin county, and one
of the youngest in the house, there s
much t > he commended. Somehow the
lid was put down and fasternii on ap
propriations, but by bard work he suc
ceeded in prying open the strong box to
such an extent ns to be nMe to ex
tricate therefrom the sum of $S,00() in
special appropriations, representing
abou all the special appropriations ob-
tatne i by anybody in the state for any
thing. This money is to be expended
for c natructing a negr > building at the
reformatory and building a tuberculosis
hospital at the penitentiary, both ot
which are m udi needed und desirable
additions,
A stup’nduous undertaki r war made
by him to get a 20 per cent increase in
wages tn: the sanitarium employes,
but it was impossible to do it, despite
ths fact that the report of the investi
gating co.nmitte declares it should he
done. In addition to this work the ap-

Back of the stories that have been circulated about the Georgia State !
Sinitariurn are unwritten pages in the chapters of the lives of virtually tour
thousand families in the state. Unable to come and examine into detail*
mothers with sons and daughters here have been wrought up to a high ten
sion. their hearts filled with agony and suspense on account of the reports * 01 * 1
which have been circulated. Strong lathers, toiling amid difficulties have
had burdens added to their shoulders, sisters and brothers have sorrowed
together, wondering why an allwise God should permit such conditions to
exist.
And over in the building yonder, where men devoted to duty have con-
secrated t.icir lives to alleviate the suffering of their brothers, new troubles
have been added. The strong wall* that enclose more pain and sorrow
than anywhere else on earth, where hopeless wrecks of humanity are kept
safely anchored from future storms, have been characterized as prison walls,
a death trap, a place ot horrors. True it couid scarcely be termed more
than that unless the magical touch ol the Saviour ol men should be felt
there?.
But all that men can do, honest, conscientious men, has been done and
is being done In every instance the harshness ol pain has been soltened
by gentle treatment, the bitterness of woe has been sweetened by tender
ministrations. The dead hours of night, when all the world sighs for sleep
find vigilant sentinels watching and caring for those who need care. When
dewy morning greets earth and the lantcape is made radiant with beauty tf
the rising sun, giving birth to a new day, the same hopeless task confronts
the toilers there.
1 bink of four thousand people within those walls, under one great a.l
ministration, II they were sane people the task ot governing and'Teedmg
and providing tor in every way would be immense. How much greater it
must he now, with all the whims and fancies of creation centered there. The
inincgement stands always rearty to do the best possible under all circum
stances. The awful ending of one recent case and the uncertainty which
now envelops another with a lunatie at large sustains the contentions ot the
management from a scientific standpoint. 'I hrse who can see the splendid
work on the inside know how will this is cartied out, better than could be
imagined with the funds in hand, realize there are no shortcomings.
And, i)r. Jones, I)r. Whitaker, Dr. Mobley, Dr. Green, Dr. Walker,
Dr. Swint, Dr. Little, Dr. l.ongino, Dr. Yarborough, Dr. Willets, Dr. Cran
ston, I >r. Richaid, anil others who may be there whom we do not know, the
people here have faith in your management, in jour devotion to duty, in
your handling of the cases coming under you and they will back you up al
ways. Mr. Lamar, Mr. Hollinshead, Mr. Hubbard and others actively cn
gaged in the responsible places—anil all of them are responsible—you do
well
This may not suit all, but the truth never does, stiil we give it as we
know it and as we believe, others may do as they will.

The Speculative Activity in Cotton
t-l u*
I'itii ul
The greatest peril now encircles the cotton belt. Speculation has
played havoc with the fleecy staple during the past few days. An example
of the tremenduous influence of fluctuating prices can be lounil in any com
munity. Last Monday two weeks ago co’ton tor actual October and Nov
ember delivery was sold for just one cent a pound more than it could be
sold a week later. In other words the cotton crop of the South, basing it
on 1 3,000,000 bales, was worth $60,000,000 less in just one week.
While 1 3 cents is a fair price lor cotton and 13 1-3 cents may be a
splendid price, still there is no reason why the cotton farmer should be sub
jected to such harrowing uncertainties as confront him in the sale of his
crop. It may be that under the undue influence of speculation the price ol
cotton may be forced below 10 cents this fall. If it does come below tint
point tt a,II be wise lor fanners who can possibly hold to refrain ftom sell
ing.
Coming under the derivation of the editor during the past year have
been seme marvelous records. One man making $100,000, another clear
ing $y:.oon and two your,g business men made $60,000 between them. In
Millmlgeville it is authentically stated that one business man has made $45,
000 by die advance during the past spring of wheat and cotton
Tin re is something radically wrong that gets "revenue from people and
the f.it",rt is entitled to a share in all this money making scheme Decline
to sell i 11 w ten cents and cotton will not approach that Ague, MJhen rhu
? 1 at , l to tt and fight tt out. It's haul to tell about cotton, but here
are t, its r 1 figutes and there is no doubt but that the same old story can
b.- t d - er gain next season with all truthfulness. But are you going to
the loll.’ Statu? up lor yourscil and see the progress you will make.

State Convention at Blue Bulge:
One of tho best annual reports was
that recently made by the Milledgevilie
Union. It showed a membership of 117 l
an increase of CO during the year. Us
total receipts during the year were $67,-
06. It gave to missions, to church work
and, as .>01110 unions failed to do, it paid
its pledge to the state,work. It carried
01 its study courses twenty-six weeks
instead of thirteen, as prescribed, and
lacked only one and one-half points from
reaching class A-l, as recently outlined
in these columns. That is a magnifi
cent record. We wonder if there is a
union in Georgia that can equal it. Let
us hear if there is.
