Millionaires Hun the Government. A prominent lawyer of Wash ington, Ga.,[writing to a friend in Macon, says : “I look with horror upon the policy of the president in regard to the Philippine ques tion. Millionaires are now run ning the government and, if not checked, popular government will soon he a thing of the past. “No doubt you aaw that cartoon portraying the future—a farmei hoeing along with a soldier strap ped to his back. The money pow er, commercialism, is encouraging militarism for its own aggrandize ment, and saddling every poor man with taxes for this purpose, each laborer, in addition to his other burdens, carrying at least one soldier. • This is militarism. To this the money power and the trusts are driving the president.” This is an extract from a private letter from one of the most cul tured men in the state. And how true it all is.—Macon News. Settling the Land Question. A collier wandering on land belonging to Earl D , chanced to meet the owner face to fsce, says London Tid Bits. His lord- ship asked the collier if he knew he was walking on his land. “Thy land 1 Wull, I’ve got no land myself,” was the reply, “and I’m forced to walk oii somebody else’s. Whaur did you get it from? “I got it from my ancestors,” replied the earl. “And whaur did they get it from?” inquired the collier. “From their ancestors.” “And whaur did their ancestors get it from?” “They fought for it.” “Ah, well,” said the collier, squaring up to the earl, “come, and I’ll fight thee for it;” How’s Tills!

The annual report of Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange, contains valuable and interesting information. He puts the crop' of 1899-1900 at 9,436,416 bales,being less than the crop of the previous year by 1,738.- 424 bales. But the South got a great deal more for the 1899-1900 crop than for that of the previous year, because the price of cotton was so much better. According to his figures,the crop of 1899-1900 brought $363,785,000, while that of 1898-1899, although nearly two million bales greater, brought on ly $282,773,000.
