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- pre prill Cl j:i* for th> stair nstitutions 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.

Give me a trial and if not satisfied I will not ask you to come again. J. A. BROOKS Ginnery at Mill, N. Wayne St. 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.
