The reports say the emperor is under the complete con trol of the dowager empress, but that she is much more gracious to foreigners than before the “late un pleasantness” in China. Home Enterprise. Whenever a man places his money in a factory, a mill of any sort, or any other kind of enterprise, it can be accepted as a fact that his chief purpose is to gain pecuniary profit for himself and those dependent up on his bounty. However, when it transpires that fcjie operation of such an enterprise l's generally or specifically beneficial to the people of that community or locality, then it is the business and moral duty of those people to heart ily co-operate with the owner there of to make the industry a profitable investment. It has long been known that Georgia is poorer than the state should be because so much money is annually sent cut of the state for goods that could be as cheaply bought within Georgia. This takes from the stato money that legitimately belongs hero, and it never coraetf back. Recently man ufacturers are complaining that lack of jiride in home industry is having a decidedly unfavorable effect upon their business. One day laBt week a Georgia cot ton manufacturer reported to the Macan Telegrapn a case in which a Georgia merchant bought in New York cotton goods made in Georgia, as follows; “I have just filled an order for a firm in my own town. The mer chant wont to New ’York and bought a large bill of goods, order ing them shipped to him at once. He placed the order with a broker who represents my goods in New York. Before lie got out of the of fice the broker wired me to fill the order and deliver the goods. I did so. The broker collected his com mission on the transaction, and the price he charged the ihercbant was enough to cover freight all the way to Now York and back, but the mer chant was happy because, he had bought his stuff in New York. He didn’t stop to fignre that I could have sold him the goods at his own door, and saved him both the com mission and the freight. But I sup pose we will all learn in time.” . re- The work, of a Dispensary. The following item from the Daw son News shows the financial side of a whisky dispensary.

Bry an’s paper, published at Lincoln, Nebraska,, will be one year old with the issue’of this week. In point of circulation, and perhaps in financial profit, the paper has been a phenom enal success, because there is none other like it. But we doubt if it has accomplished Mr. Bryan’s pet desire. He has certainly been able and persistent in promulgating his political opinions. In many things he is eminently correct, but in his coinage views he misthkes a policy for a fixed principle of democracy. As an advertiser of the conditions, resources and advantages of the state of Geoygia, and the several counties thereof, a book jnsfc issued by the department of Agriculture, “Georgia—Historical and Industri al” is the best of its kind e.ver seen in this offioe.

Not only does this book give .comprehensive and correct information concerning the history and industrial progress of the greatest southern state, but the style is easy aud attractive. Whatever one wants to know obout Georgia, as it was and as it is, this book affords the information. It should be extensively circulated as an advertiser.
