The direct trade convention at Atlanta heard speeches in favor of steamship lines between southern ports and the chief ports of Eu rope, passed' several resolutions looking to the establishment of such lines, and appointed commit tees to gather information and to do other things to advance the di rect trade movement. The con vention did all it could do and all that it was expected to do. Few of the delegates were prepared to take a practical view of the direct trade question. All were ready to take a theoretical view of it, how ever, and all the speeches were of an encouraging character. The Morning News sincerely hopes that the movement started at Atlanta will not be permitted to die for want of further attention. It should be pushed vigorously to a point where it can be clearly de termined whether it is possible for it to be successful or not. The gentlemen who spoke so enthusi astically in support of it owe it to themselves to^ demonstrate, if they can, that their faith rests upon a firm foundation. * The Morning News has asserted several times since the talk of di- reet trade with Europe began that it did not believe that lines of steamships between southern ports and European ports could made self-sustaining, and it has given reasons for- this belief. In this respect it has differed from some of its contemporaries who have been insisting that direct trade is feasible. It does not however, oppose the direct trade movement. It is ready to do ev erything in its power to encourage it, but it don’t propose to say that steamship lines from southern ports to Europe would pay until it is convinced that it would. If such lines should be established, they would have to depend upon some thing beyond their earnings—at least for a time. The question is who is going to furnish the money to make up the deficiency between their net earnings and the cost of supporting them? The ports that would be bene fited by the lines might contrib ute something, but would they be willing to continue their contribu tions long? The chances are that the people would protest against a tax for such a pnrpose, and the number of public-spirited citizens is too small to depend upon that source for assistance. The fact is that just as soon as direct trade between the south and Europe will pay, steamship lines from southern ports to Eu rope will be established, and shrewd business inen Mill discover when it will pay much sooner than those who deal wholly in theories with respect to this matter. There will, of course, be a good deal of talk of direct trade for some time to come, and fine pictures of the benefits it would confer upon the south will be drawn, but what is wanted are facts showing that di rect trade will pay. They will not be forthcoming. The following from the Monroe Advertiser, though written espe cially concerning Monroe county, will apply with equal force to Houston, and every other county in Georgia: “We are aware that there are some among us, who, being some what inclined to the pessimistic, claim not to see in their prophetic vision anything promising in the future of our country; bnt these do not belong to that large, pushing, energetic, hopeful class whp are putting in opportune licks to-day and leaving to-morrow to take care of itself. These of the pessimistic persuasion seem to have lost all cognizance of the progress that our country is making and has made during the last decade. These prophecies of coming disas trous results were uttered ten years ago, and even farther back when the fever for abandoning the old worn lands in Monroe and seeking fresher fields in the west was al- Yiewitm any light or from any stand point you may, this crusade .... —«-w— upon the lottery while the futures infamy passes unnoticed is a pen ny wise and pound foolish t busi ness; a straining at very small gnats while camels by the dozen are gulped down without a wry face, without a single wink or blink. —Guthbert Liberal-Enterprise. .

The day is not far distant when the manufacture of cotton fabrics will cease in the New England States, and the South, where the cotton is raised, will become the great manufactur ing section of the country.—Maeon Evening News. our county from that date to the present has not verified those prophecies. During this period much of our land has been im proved until its fertility and pow er of production far exceeds that of former years. Thousands of acres that were then nude and well nigh barren are now rapidly recuperating under waving forest of pine and reacning up to a good state of productiveness. There is a great diversity of produbts. and better crops are being made in pro portion to the labor expended than ever before. Better stock as a gen eral thing is to be found in the hands of farmers, and never in the history of this county has the stock raising industry, which is but just begun, reached the extent it now holds. At no time during these years has there been a greater amount of home products in the county than is to be found now. “Ten years ago Monroe county bad one railroad passing through her territory; now she has four and not one of her citizens can re> main in her limits out in the open air, and get beyond the sound of the railroad whistle. Ten years ago her manufacturing enterprises were restricted to a mere fleeting thought passing through the brain of some well-wisher of her future; to-day her county site has in oper ation several manufacturing estab lishments, flourishing and pros perous. - Never, at any period of the past, have her farmers been better and more thoroughly inj. formed as to their individual and the general interest than they are now. Is there in all these things nothing promising for the future of our county? It may be that we are too much of an optimist, yet we must confess that, to ns, there are strong evidences of local pro gressiveness, and that these evi dences point to a much higher de gree of prosperity for the county in the years to come.” The New York Morning Journal gives this description of Mrs. W K. Vanderbilt’s magnificent bath room: To begin with, the room is in the most advantegeous location in the big mansion at Fifty-first street and Fifth avenue. It is large, cool and with perfect venti lation. Extending around the room is a high marble wainscoting, per- fectly plain, except for a band of onyx ornaments, traced with lines of gold, winch runs along the top. Above the wainscotting the walls J of the room are paneled with small beveled mirrors, separated and beautified with bands of gilt mold ings. Upon this scintillating sur face of glass are painted with ex quisite. truth to life sprays of ap ple blossoms literally laden with blooms. In well-blended color ing of cream and gold the ceil ing is modeled in Henry II. orna ments, for the bath connects with a bed-room arranged alter the style of Henry Ill’s time.

Near the center of the apart ment is the bath tub—and . bow poor the English language must seem to Mrs. Vanderbilt when it presents no more aristocratic des ignation for the lovely receptical than the plain, plebian “tub.’? But, however, the tub is cut out of a solid block of marble, decorated along its upper edge with a carved molding of scallop shells. The water flows into the tub through faucets made in the form of swans’ beads, with beaks of solid silver. Looking down into the tub, with a suggestion Of anxiety upon her fea tures as if she already felt the first chill of the purifying waters, stands a Greek maiden, sculptured in a niche in the wall, her tunic uplifted modestly as if she were to step down in a moment for a frolic with old Groton. This figure is by one of the Coysevox brothers, sculptors in the days of Louis XIV, the original of which is in the Louvre. There is not a piece of movable furniture in the room, the only resting place being a marble slab, supported by fabled creatures, also of the pure stone.

There is no questioning the fact that quinine is a valuable medicine as a tonic, anti-periodic and anti pyretic, and that its discovery has greatly helped the cause of medi cine. Still in a majority of cases its use is not altogether satisfacto ry as it frequently deranges the system, producing headache, dizzy feelings, convulsions and some times even paralysis. It was the endeavor of the eminent Dr. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky.. to invent a substitute for quinine, some thing tbat would have all the good qualities of quinine, and yet be en tirely free from its evil tendencies. How admirably he succeeded is evidenced by the estimation in which his remedy Smith’s Tonic SjTup is held by the people; where it is best known everybody uses it in place of quinine and it never fails to give the very best satisfac tion. In cases of chills and fever it is absolutely a safe and certain the rights of organized labor. The brick boycott likewise involves the question of the rights of organized labor. The boycott was ordered by the anions because non-union men were employed in the brick yard. The question of wages or horns of labor was far in the back ground. These three battles between or ganized capital and organized la bor, therefore, possess, apart from the immense interests involved, more than ordinary significance. It is quite possible that these strikes will result in the enact ment of- laws in different states regulating the relations to each other of employers and employes. It would certainly be more bene ficial to labor, capital and to so ciety if arbitration coaid be made obligatory instead of optional. This would be protection for both sides in case of a misunderstand ing. It would stop lock-outs on the part of corporations and pre vent labor organizations from rush ing headlong into rninous strikes. The public, which stands between the corporations and their work ingmen, are beginning to realize that they have certain rights, which both sides should be bound to respect. -There were four passengers of us who got off at a country junc tion to wait two hours for the train on the other line—two men and two women, None of ns had ever seen each other before.

The cloakmakers’ strike in New York was a blow struck by the la bor organizations to prevent the employment of non-union men. The strike was a success. The manufacturers were obliged to yield every point to the strikers, ^ ates New York Sun: and the non-union men were dis- “Well, old boy,” remarked the charged.

The Cause of Pain. An ache or a pain is not of itself a disease, it is bnt a symptom and warns the sufferer that there is something the matter with his physical organization. Weak kid neys, bad blood, and nervousness are frequently the source or cause of the many mysterious aching sensations that afflict the bodv. You Can remove the cause of such distress by using B. B. B. (Botan ic Blood Balm). C. H. Robercs, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “My kidneys were disor dered and gave me excruciating pain. A single bottle of B. B. B. helped me wonderfully.” Win. N. Nelson, McDonough, Ga., writes: “B.B. B. has bene fited my daughter very much. She was afflicted with severe nervous ness. I think it the best family medicine.” W. R.
