p A Big Investment. The Futnre Of Cuba. From the Commoner. The GLYNx COUNTY PICKET. When a new enterprise locates in a community it is heralded „ abroad as a good sign. It meane ! g ar< j to the anexation of Cuba, the disbursement of capital, the j|g- democratic party has not . had employment of labor and the step- j occaa j on to take a position on this ping stone to prosperity.

Thu seed runs through the oil mill, the cotton seed meal mill and the fertilizer factory. The furniture factory and all wood working plants can be more prof itable when close * to the forest and saw mill. Whether an indus try begins with a small capital of twenty-five dollars, or more, the people commend the movement because it can be nourished and increased. Railroads are the most power ful levers in starting these move ments of industry. And arid plains have become farms and cit ies because of them. Mountains have yielded up their mineral wealth through them. The pro ducts of one section have supplipc sustenance to those of less favored, sections by them. It is because of these facts f-hat towns, commu nities and sections want railroads and must have some kind of rail road facilities. It is also because of these facts that so much inter est and discussion is aroused when a new railroad commences the work of building itself mile after mile into new places. It is a dis bursement of capital upon the largest scale. It is the employ ment of labor upon the largest scale. It is the whole arch of pros perity. It means the foundation which all other enterprises can build upon. Other enterprises are represented by their thousand's of dollars and hundreds of men, but a railroad -represents millions in dollars and thousands in men It is no wonder then that the enterprise of building a railroad from Brunswick to Birmingham has aroused so much interest and discussion. Iq its disbursement of a capital of six and a quarter million of dollars, it represents one of the gigantic industries of the nation. To this must be an ticipated its natural increase in valuation by its logical process of development. Its value will be quadrupled in ten years. The five million people of two states, with their immense wealth will be clos er united, because the road will solve the problem of placing the coal, steel, iron, coke, etc., of Al abama to tide water cheaper than ever before. This increases the output and control of Alabama in these markets. It will be the so lution of the western grain and cattle industry. The capitalization of $6,750,- 000 is but a drop m the bucket as to what untold wealth will be add ed to the south and the nation. And these are the facts that have wrought up the financiers of the east, and have caused unlimi ted capital to seek such an invest ment. “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of them selves.” Large things are but an aggre gation of small things. If we take care of the small things we are in effect taking care of the large things which the small things com bine to make. Take care pf what you eat, when you eat, and Jhow you eat, and your stomach will take care of it self. But who takes care of such trivial things? That is why, some day, the majority of the people have to take care of the stomach. When the day comes, there is no aid so effective in undoing the re sults of past carelessness as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. It strengthens the stomach; and restores the organs of digest ion and nutrition to a condition of healthy activity. It cures bil iousness, heartburn, flatulence, indigestion, palpitation, dizzi ness, cold extremities and a score of other ailments which are but tlie symtoms of disorder in the stomach and its allied brgans. ■Strong passions work wonders when there is a stronger reason to curb them. ■ - tion. To discuss annexation now would cast suspicion on the good 'faith of the nation; neither is there anything to be gained by raising that question. No matter whether annexation is desireable or undesireable, it is both right and expedient that the Cubans should be given their in dependence. If annexation is un desireable there can be no excuse for delaying independence; if, on the other hand, annexation is de sireable the granting of independ ence will hasten it. Annexation to be satisfactory must be volun tary, and it will never be volunta ry unless the Cuban people have confidence in and affection fr>r the people of the United States. And how can they have confi dence in or affection for the American people, if our nation violates its promise and shows more interest in the franchises se cured by private syndicates than in the nation’s honor. The imperialistic policy of the republican party has induced the leaders to abandon the peaceful and pursuasive methods formerly employed by our government, and to adopt the harsher methods em ployed by arbitrary rulers. As a result we are apt to lose the pres tige which a war for humanity gave us; by inspiring hatred where we should have implanted love, we are apt to make enemies of people who want to be friends. — Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely de- j range the whole system when en-; tering it through the mucous sur faces.

Memphis has already raised 160,000 for the entertainment of the Confederate veterans at their coming reunion, and has $15,000 more in sight. This will give Men- phis about $7,500 more that Lou isville had when she entertained the veterans of the G. A. R., a gathering much larger than the Memphis reuion will be.
