Those who heard of the seven cotton mills at Griffin do not know the circumstances .under which they were bnilt. Col. J. W. Kin caid, of Griffin, told the Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Tele graph about it recently, and here is wbat be said: “About the time we bnilt oar first mill Griffin was pretty well ran down at the heel. The spirit of the people was lagging and the towD was practically drying ap. Hundreds of people were out of employment and the merchants were grambling on account of the prevailing dull times. X was in the dry goods business and bad made a little money.' I bad a talk with Seaton Grantland and one or two others about a cotton factory and we concluded to build one. The idea was not so much that there was money in the enterprise, but the object of the venture was to see if something of that sort could not liven up things a little. We built the mill and it paid from the jump. Then we goi up the money and commenced the building of the second factory. Before the walls were up the stock m the fac tory sold at a premium of 115, and the success that.these two mills met with caused others to be built. I am no! going to build any more, for the simple fact that I have all that I can attend to now with the mills under my coutrol, bat other companies will no doubt build oth er mills. The building of these industries has done a great deal for Griffin. It has increased her population, and in consequence in creased her business interests, par ticularly in retail trade. “The truck farmers, milk men aDd every other class, find a better market for their products, as the operatives need all these things, and have money with which to pay for them.” W O.

' When a trust can make $42,500, 000 a year on a capital of $25,000,- 000, as the Carnegie Frick com bine has done; when the Standard Oil trust declares a quarterly div idend of $20,000,000; when Mr. Oar- negie’s annual income is over $24,- 000,000 and Mr. Rockefeller’s $30,- 000,000, it is not necessary to say that such imperial revenues can only be derived from the exercise of monopoly’s power to tax the people unjustly. Neither Mr. Car negie nor Mr. Rockefeller can pos sibly render such service to society ns honestly to earn wages so colos sal. And these two gentlemen rep resent a class wfio are daily milk ing the public as they do, though with less dazzling resalts. The trusts lay the entire country under enforced tribute—which simply means robbery. The trusts are looting the American people as truly as though they were success ful: invading armies. Their wea pon of extortion is monopoly. The interstate commerce commission has been about as serviceable in curing the abuses of railroad ad ministration as a snub from Pro fessor Hardley to Collis P. Hunt ingtoD would bo. The Chicago conference adheres to the true principle. It strikes at the root of the trusts tree instead of concern ing itself with the branches. The partnership between the railroads nud the trusts is at the bottom of most of the monopoly which piles up such fortunes as Mr. Rockefel ler enjoys. That neither Mr. Car negie nor Mr. Rockefeller is in uned of any government protection is as clear as daylight.- Phil. North American, Rep. A Life Ami Death Fight. Mr. W. A.

Take no other, Holtzclaw’s Drug Store. Good For the Soul. Macon Telegraph. Ex-Senator John J, Ingalls of Kansas seems to possess the virtue of perfect candor even when con sidering his own case, He con fesses that measured by the stand ard of great success he has been a failure in life, and yet be has the grace to blame no one bat himself. Looking back over the past fifty years, he says he is unable to see that he has been denied “any right, privilege or opportunity enjoyed by those who have drawn the prizes in the lottery of life,” and adds: “If laws were unjust, all alike were their victims. If statutes were beneficent none were debarr ed their advantage. Those who climbed the highest began lowest. None was favored by legislation or influence. Lincoln and Grant, neither suspected of greatness, were waiting in homely indigence the summons that, ten years later, was to call them to immortal fame. Edison, the mightiest magician of the force of nature, was a tramp ing telegrapher. Carnegie was a messenger boy iu Pittsburg. Hunt ington .was selling picks, nails and horseshoes.- iu Sacramento. Jay Gonld was a book agent in Dela ware county. The Rockefellers and the mob of plutocrats who ex cite the envy and arouse the indig nation of those who have failed, all began in the lowest and hum blest walks of life. I had the same chance, and every boy of that time had the same chance. The world was all before where to choose, aDd Providence my guide I had the right to build railroads or to go into Wall street and wreck them,- to invent a telephone, to write ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ to mine for gold and silver, to concoct pat ent medicines, to corner petrole um, to bull pork and wheat, like my contemporaries. The only thing I lacked was brains.” Perhaps it was not so much the lack of brains as the lack of indus try, the lack of concentration, the lack of tenacity of purpose. Mr. Ingalls may be lacking in what he calls “brains”—by which ha means great talent—but his confession shows that he is by no means lack ing in good sense. His whole some admissions should be of use to others as well as to himself. The discontented and envious, who are too often also the indolent and in capable, would do well to devote some few moments of serious re flection to a confession which is as poihted as it is remarkable. The Candidate. “O, he’s a jolly fellow, and full of vain conceits, and sees a bosom friend in every man he meets. He asks about yoar family, your hors es and your hogs, and takes a friendly interest iu your children and your dogs. ■ O, he’s a jolly gentleman, gamesome as a lamb, blithesome as a meadow lark, as happy as a clam.

He went out, and next atternoon I was sum moned -in hot baste to the St. Charles Hotel. I found the plant er writhing .on his bed, his fore head beaded with sweat and his whole appearance indicating in terne suffering. ‘I have an attack of appendicitis,’ he groaned, ‘and I’m a dead man! I’ll never sur vive an operation!’ ‘Where do you feel pain?’ 1 asked. ‘Oh, right here,’ he replied, patting bis finger on the spot I bad located at the of fice; ‘I feel as if somebody had a knife iu me there and was turning it around!’ ‘Well, then, it isn’t appendicitis, at any rate,’ I said, cheerfully; ‘because that is the wrong side.” ‘The wrong side!’ he exiaimed, glaring at me, indig nantly. “Why, you told me your 9elf it was on the left!’. ‘Then I must have been abstracted,’ I re plied, calralv. I should have said the right.’ I prescribed something that wouldn’t hurt him, and learn ed afterwards that he ate bis din ner in the dining room the same evening. Oh! yes; he was no doubt in real pain when I called,’’ said the doctor, in reply to a ques tion, “butyou can make your fin ger ache merely by concentrating your attention on it for a few mo ments.” The New York World quotes figures to show that the ordinary expenses of the government have increased $154,000,000 a year since Mr. McKinley became President. No war expenses are included in the figures. The war is a sepa rate matter, which has caused an increase of the public debt of $200,- 000,000 since Mr. McKinley .was inaugurated. The ordinary expen ses under President Harrison av eraged $$861,291,323 per annnm; daring President Cleveland’s sec ond term, the average was $360,- 418,546, while the average under President McKioley has been $514/480,254.

The largest wheat crop that Kan sas ever raised was82,000,000 bush els. State Grain Inspector Me Kensie says that the crop of the present year will be considerably larger. He places the probable figures at 85,000,000 bushels. Some railroad men, however, are of the opinion that the total will be near ly 5,000,000 bushels greater than Mr. McKenzie’s estimate: each year for a loDg time past, the cotton planters have found it the most profitable crop for the last decade. Tho3, for the ten mouths ending April 30.1900, our total ex ports of cotton were 2,898.755,000 pounds, compared with 3,478,027, 000 pounds in the same time in 1899. But such were the prices obtained that the value of the ex ports of cotton for the ten months of this year, is $223,190,000, as against $191,547,000 for the same time in 1899- It is probable that at the close of the year we shall have exported $40,000,000 worth of raw cotton more than we did in 1899.
