The Sandersville Progress re¬
marks “that a general revival of
honesty is greatly needed in these
parts.” This is probably a thrust
at delinquent subscribers.
The old maids are playing in
hard luck, the 29th of February,
the only day on which a proposal
from them is allowable, being de¬
nied them next year. The next
leap year will be 190!.
More than thirty football play¬
ers have died in this country tins
year from injuries sustained on
the gridiron. Yet prize-fighting
alone is legislated against, while
football is looked upon as a nation¬
al sport.
It is apparent that the Mormon
congressman from Utah, Brigham
Roberts, wil! not be allowed to
take his seat in Congress. Rather
hard on the old man, for he prob¬
ably needs the salary to support
his thret wives.
The Dublin Courier and the
Dublin Dispatch have consolidated
under the name of Dublin Courier
Dispatch, and it is said that the
new paper will be an improvement
over both of the old ones. Then
it will be a hummer!
It has been discovered that
“there is no better remedy for the
sting of a bee or wasp than com¬
mon mud.” This is probably why
the politician or delator who is
stung by his adversary’s criticisms
invariably goes to slinging mud.
We democrats may yet find out
that we have “missed our dip” by
forcing the trust question. Mr.
McKinley, divining that it would
be popular, has declared against
trusts in his recent message, which
means that we are not to havw a
thing but the poor old thread-bare
16 to 1, which has already cost us
one election.
The Savannah Press editoiiaily
remarks that “the divorce evil is
growing worse in some of the
states. This is noticeably true in
Indiana.” The local columns of
Press reported twenty-nine that
had been granted ihe same day in
that city. Wonder if Indiana
could really beat that!
A Connecticut farmer claims to
have discovered that pumpkins
have sexes. He says that only
female pumpkins are good for pies
and that those of the masculine
gender are fit only for stock food.
This reminds one of the old jingle
that “girls are made of sugar and
spice and everything nice; boys of
rats and snails and puppy dog
tails.”
Seriously it seems ridiculous
that congressmen should object to
the seating of a man who agreeable
to the law of his land, married
three wives, and like a good citi¬
zen continues to care for them as
he swore to do at the marriage
altar, when it is an open secret
that a larg3 per cent of the other
members are libertines and rakes
of notorious characters, and noth¬
ing is said of it. Old Brecken
ridge was an instance, and
are others. We believe Roberts’
record is preferable.

Col. Cuyler Smith will probably
not lie called upon to assist in
raising the capital for the proposed
Bulloch county cotton factory, for
the very good reason that the Col¬
onel seems to want too much for
his services. Alter his visit here
lust week the committee appointed
to push the factory enterprise,
thought it time to ascertain what
he expected to charge tor his
assistance, and were taken aback
to find that he wanted only the
modest fee of 0% of the total ca|>
ital invested in the enterprise.
As our proposed factory is to cost
$100,000, that would mean a cool
$5,000 for Col. Smith. The com¬
mittee have decided that that
amount could better he invested in
machinery, and notified Col. Smith
tc that effect, and will now pro¬
ceed to raise the required capital
without his serv’ces.
Mayor Wilson, who is corres¬
ponding secretary of the commit¬
tee, informs us that a meeting will
be held at the court house on the
first Monday in January, at which
it is hoped those inteiested from
all parts if tbe county will be
present and prepared to take hold
and help the thing along. Num¬
bers of our farmers are able to
invest amounts of from $100 to
$1,000. and it is earnestly desired
to have everybody “chip in.”
These subscriptions are not ili¬
tended to be gifts—far from it, it
is believed that they will earn an
annual dividend of from 25% to
75%, as mills in other parts of
this Luis state n Lei Lt? tut; are uujug. doimr ou So the u Lid farm- i in
er who assists in starting the fac¬
tory, besides securing a better
market for his cotton and other
produce, is sure to receive a hand¬
some interest oil his money.
One farmer in the Emit neigh¬
borhood has expressed his inten¬
tion of investing $1,000, and there
are numbers of others who will do
as much, and will find it to their
imerest to do so.
Inconsistent Arguments.
The opponents of the Willing¬
ham bill object to it in one breath
because it would work “a hard¬
ship cn the man who wants a little
liquor for an egg-nog,” and in the
next breath they declare that “pro
hihition wont prohibit—under that
law more liquor will be sold than
is sold by the barrooms.” Con¬
sistency is a dead letter with these
men. If “more liquor would be
sold,” what the thunder are they
kicking about? The friends of
prohibition are willing to nsl the
increased sale of liquor under the
proposed law, and if the whiskey
man is sincere in his belief that
such will be the case why does he
continue to kick? If the prohibi¬
tionists had the law, they think
they would be content; and if the
toper had an increase of liquor,
which he says the law will surely
give him, he ought to be content.
In his speech against the bill
Hon. Morris Brandon, of Fulton,
used a table of statistics showing
that the amount received for the
sspool fund from liquor amounts
to $100,000, and that the passage
of the Willingham bill would en¬
tail a loss of $38,000 for the wet
counties and a loss of nearly $112
000 which is now received by the
dry counties. All of which is
calculated to turn the prohibition¬
ists from their light; but it wont
do it. The fight against whiskey
is a moral one in which dollars
don’t count against the souls of
young men and boys who are sure
to be led away by the open bar
rooms, But even these statistics
, if fi . -1 - - .
SllOW that tne prohibitionists
would bear the heaviest part of
the burden entailed by the , .... bill
nearly three-fourths of it—there
fore , it . , cannot , be . said . , that ,, , they
are trying to impose on ihe wet
counties. If the dry counties are
willing to carry u tax of $112,000
for the sake <»f good morals, the
wet counties certainly ought not
to kick against bearing their paltry
$<18,000.
Tile J’rcsi dent's Message.
The President’s message, deliv
ered to congress upon its assem
Wage iastMonday, is a voluminous
affair, containing about 20,000
words, and dealing minutely with
every department of the' national
government, It is commented
upon as being very pointed and
clear in every point except as to
the trusts. On this matter he
liopes for “judicious action” from
congress without indicating any
direction from which relief might
Come.
The president opens his message
by appropriate ’reference to the
death of the vice-president. He
then proceeds to show the business
of the American people is in good
condition. Comparing our exports
and imports with those of thirty
years ago, the president realizes
that our exports per capita
many tim ; a what they were then
and the impolts very much 1 ess.
One significant thing in this State
ment is that the agricultural ex
ports are yet more than twice tile
value of the manufactured exports
111 round numbers the former are
worth $785,000,000 and the latter
$340,000,000. Secretary Gage
seems to have figured out that the
treasury is in good condition, for
15,1 looks to a surplus 1 of $40,000,- 5
000 clt tilt' ^ end of the fiscal ^ year.
In spite ->f our enormous expendi¬
tures the war tax seems to be
equal to the demand and \\s are
living within oar means. The
president . outspoken in .
