The Country Breeds Success.
W. P, Reed In Atlanta Constitution.
Fifty years ago Lord Macaulay
said that he would expect to see a
valuabe work on political econo
my from a young student in a
country town, instead of from a
brilliant politician who bad been
m the bouse of . commons from
the age of twenty-one.
Macaulay was right. Our lead
ers do not come from the big cit
ies. Atlanta, for instance, is a
typical American town and every
successful man here made bis start
in the country.
Every lawyer, merchant and bro
ker here who has made bis way in
life started in a country village or
on a farm.
There is not a single exception.
Take the Adairs, the Kisera, the
Dodds, Junius* G. Oglesby, Henry
Y. McCord, J. M. High, Ben Crew,
Douglas and Davison, and the
last one of them, and they all
made thier starts in small towns.
Almost every successful man in
Atlanta got his training out in
the country. When they finish
in that hard and rough school
they come here and easily go ahead
of their competitors.
I was thinking of this matter,
the other day in connection with
some of our great statesmen
and lawyers,but one of my friends
remarked that it was true of all
of our leading men.
Undoubtedly, he was right. And
yet it is a strange thing that the
men reared here inacenter of culure
with big libraries around them,
cannot hold their own youngsters
who come here from the farms.
I could name a dozen great men
in Georgia, and in other states,
who have -made a brilliant success
In many lines of human endeavor,
and yet they had' to start on the
farm, without any of the so-called
advantages of city culture.
Every great lawyer, capitalist
and merchant in Atlanta today
made his start on a farm or in a
country town.
The same is true of our great
men in the past. Was there ever
a very famous American lawyer or
statesman who was horn and ed
ucated in a large city? I cannot
recall one at present.
It may be different, in Europe,
but, according to Macaulay, I feel
satisfied that the conditions are
about the same.
So far as I am able to remem
ber, the men who achieved most
in European literature and poli
tics were mexi who passed thei
youth in the country.
There is a good reason for this.
In the country people have time
to study and reflect, but the busy
current of life in our cities hur
ries people onward. The average
city man reads nothing. He has
no time to think, and even when
he talks the exigencies of the.hour
prevent anything like profitable
conversation.
Election Result as Told by Stars.
Ex-President Harrison is quot
ed by the Helena (Mont.) Post as
expressing the opinion that the
Democratic party has a better
chance for carrying {he election
this year than it had in 1896. He
said, according,to the foregoing
authority, that« the , Repubican
party had not pursued the right
course with respect to trusts, and
that h'e‘would not he .'surprised to
see Indiana go Democratic in Nov.
The Republican administration
he said, had made a number of
aerious mistakes in its hand
ling of the reins of government.
The kind of study that .can be
best pursued by children in sum

that develops understanding and
the ability to see a thing when it
is looked at. No better prepara
tion for ihe winter’s work in math

than summer work with Nature.
No worse preparation could be in
vented than idleness or undireted
activity of a long vacation—July
Ladies’ Home Journal.
Frof. John B. Sullivan, of Yon
kers, New York/ says that four
years ago he read the stars and
decided that McKinly was sure to
be elected. On the strength of
this previous success the professor
has again consulted the planets
and the lesser lights of the heav
ens for an election forecast, only
to find at present the stars are
against McKinley and, presuma
bly, favor Bryan.
It is observed, however, that
this time that the astrologer is
not, as he denominates it, “cock
sure.” Indeed, Professor Sullivan
declares that his prediction that
McKinley will not be elected is
not published as sure to come
true. It is merely a review of
testimony, according to the Ara
bian system of astrology, and the
professor will esteem it a favor to
hear from students who may dif
fer from him.
According to this Yonkers read
ing, the trouble is that the nomi
nation of McKinley was delayed
for one day. If it had been in
tended that he was to be president
again he would have been named
upon June 20, as tbe people ex
pected it. Instead be was not
nominated until afternoon June
21.
Unfortunately, at the time Me
Kinley was declared the unani
mous choice of thq convention
Venus was the ruler of the eighth
house, the “house of death,’
which, Professor Sullivan con
eludes, looks very had for McKin
ly. This is not all, for the moon
was in the seventh house. The
moon indicates the people and
the seventh house is the abode of
one’s enemies. The sun and Sat
urn in opposition to each other
from cadent houses indicates the
end of the matter, referring, the
reader of the stars concludes, to
McKinley’s term of office.
Then, too, the position of Jupi
ter in the second house shows that
the wealthy classes will bring
money into the campaign to no
purpose, except as is proved by
the position of Mars in the second
and seventh houses, to bolster up
the democrats. Venus destroys
the last hope, for she is on her
way to the eleventh* house, the*
“house of sorrow. ”
A Large Party of One.
A Coney Island excursion steam
er was leaving New York with but
few passengers aboard, says Col
lier’s Weekly. The boat had just
cast off when , a stout gentleman
with a very red face rushed down
the pier and, flourishing his stick,
shouted: “Hey, captain! Put
back—back her quick. Here’s
large party wants to go.” •
The captain was at first deri
sive, but finally shouted from the
pilothouse! “How large is the
party?”
For an instant the fat man hes
itated. Then he } r elled back
“Between sixty and seventy.*’
As soon as , the captain heard
this number he instantly ordered
the steamer back and made fast
again. The fat man waddled
across the gang plank., and, pick?
ing out a nice deck seat, fanned
himself with his straw hat. Mean
while the captain and his crew
waited for the party to arrive
After waiting for five minutes and
more, the captain turned impa
tiently toward the stout gentle
man and said: “Where’s your
party of between sixty and seven
ty? This boat can’t wait all day
for them.”
Oh, that’s all right,” replied
the fat passenger, with a bland
smile. “I’m the party; 65 to-day
sir.”
The captain’s face grew redder
even than the passenger’s as he
furiously rang the bell to steam
ahead, but the fat passenger: at
once became the hero of the boat
A Short Story in Figures.
New- York World.
The ordinary annual expendi
tures of the government averaged
in President Harrison’s term
$861,291,828.
They averaged in President
Cleveland’s term $360,418,546.
They have averaged in Presi
dent McKinley’s term $514,490,-
254.
The cost of running the govern
ment is thus seen to have been
increased by $154,000,000 a year
ever -’since McKinley was inaugu
rated. And this is not accounted
for by the extraordinary disburse
ments of the war, which are not
included in these“ordhiary expen-/
ditures.” V j ’
The outlay, for the war is a sep
arate matter, and it accounts for
the increase of the public debt by
$200,000,000 since Mr. McKinley’s
inauguration.
The financial record of tbe ad
ministration may therefore be
summed up in a sentence. It has
added nearly $13,000,000 a month
to the regular running expenses of
the government and added $1.78
per capita to the national burden
of debt. ;

Where Thousands of Papers are Bead
There is, perhaps, but a single
place in this pountry where al
most all the newspapers of the
United States are read. To the
Exchange Bureau of the Ladies
Home Journal practically every
paper in this country comes—an
aggregate of nearly 9,000. It is
the rule to read each one within a
day after it is received, so a large
staff of trained readers is kept
employed constantly. By this
plan it is possible for the editors
to keep in close touch with- the
reading public, and accurately in
formed as to the topics that are
uppermost ih the public mind in
every section of the country. In
this reading ,such selections are
made as may be of special imme
diate interest, as well as matter
for future reference and notes
that may serve as memoranda or
suggest articles. Moreover, every
thing relating to tbe Journal is
clipped and filed. Thousands of
dollars a year are spent in this
work alone, but Editor Bok re
gards it as a very profitable in
vestment, as invaluable informa
tion is thus supplied that could
be obtained in no other way.

The Cotton Crop
aavannahNewa.
It sems to be admitted that the j
cotton crop will be a short one,
notwithstanding the fact that an
increased acreage was planted and
an unusually large amount of
commercial fertilizers was used-
There has been very little favora
ble weather since cotton was plant
ed, and in large areas of the cot
ton section the weather has been
so unfavorable that the cotton has
been damaged beyond complete
recovery. It seems to be the opin
ion- that in this state the crop
will not ho nearly so large as that
of last year. The fact that there
is a steady rise in the price of cot-
tou indicates pretty, clearly what
the opinion of the crop’s prospects
is in cotton circles.. If it should
turn out that permahent damage
to the crop is as great as it‘is now
believed it is, the price of cotton is
going to be a great deal higher
than it is at present. The mills
which have been selling cotton
because the price enabled them to
get a better return for it than
they could by manufacturing it
-will,: in all probability, 1 regret hay
ing done so.
The last crop was a short one
and the world’s visible supply at
the present time is only about, one-
half what it is .usually at this se a
son of * the year. Europe is buy
ing cotton eagerly at present pric
es. Her spinners are afraid that
they will not have a chance again
in months to get it as low as it
can be purchased now.
If the. damage to the crop is
very great* a-good price will be
necessary to: reliable farmers to
come out anywhere near even
A couple of months ago the fann
ers .thought . that if they got/8
cents a pound for their cotton
they would be fortunate It looks
now as if they , were certain of 10
cents and there is a possibility
that they will get 11 or 12 cents.

returning from a long and tire

of the men had lost the greater
part of their wearing apparel,
when he saw on a clothes line in
the grounds of a residence adjoin
ing a big stone * church two very
good shirts hung out to dry. As
he had at the time only half a
shirt to his back, he proceeded to
help himself to a whole one
whereupon a woman came out of
the house and said to him, in pass
able English, “You will pay for
that on the Judgment Day.”
‘Madam,” he replied, “If you
give such long credit I will take
both shirts,” which he proceeded
to do.
