Kindness is one of the purest.

Kiudness is a treme protectionists see in the language understood by the form- Cuban treaty the entering wedge! er as well as the latter. Its influ- in a policy which will eventually j ence never ceases. To show kind- result in the material lowering of 1 ness it is not necessary to give the Dingley schedules. They j largq sums ofmioney, or to per- will, therefore, oppose the con-1 form some wonderful deed that vention to the last ditch. The claim is already being made that the President’s action in negotia ting a treaty without the sanction of the House when that treaty af fects the revenues is unconstitu tional and injury to the farmers by the reduction of the tariff on sugar by 20 per cent, is also to be made a plea for defeating the convention. On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt has said that he will regard the vote on the treaty as a test of loyalty to himself, bo that the fight promises to be un usually interesting. Allready the attention of the Democrats is turning to the pos sibilities of 1904. Realizing that the republicans are afraid to en- aot any legislation inimical to the trusts and that the people are daily growing more urgent in be half of such legislation, they ar gue that the people will turn to the democratic party for relief i^ 1904 4 if a sufficiently ssroiig man heads the democratic ticket. Three names are now being gen erally discussed in this connec tion, Judge Parker of New York, Ex-Secretary Olney and Senator Gorman. Senator Carmack pins his faith to Judge Parker, 'who might have been governor of New York this time had he accepted the nomination. On the other hand, there are many who would pass the Judge by because he was unwilling to make the race in his own state. Representative Un derwood of Alabama recently told our correspondent that he fa- fored Mr. Olney, as a man who had demonstrated his abnity and had served his party well. He said that Mr. Olney had always been “regular” and he believed that he has the confidence of the people generally ahd of the bus! ness men of the country in par ticular.' With regard to Mr. Gor man’s chances,.-doubtless much depends on the next session of the Senate. His friends say that he will promptly assume the dem- ocrasic leadership and will com mand so much respect in that po sition that he will become the in evitable candidate of the party. It is rumored that Senator Lodge’s bill reducing the tariff on Phillippine'imports from 75 to '25 per cent. of'the]Dingley rates, will encounter severe oppsoitiou in the Senate. The sugar trust is firmly opposed to such a reduc tion as are the lumber and oth er industries, especially the to bacco growers. The fact that the reduction would prove of sig nal advantage to the islands would count as nothing, of course, as compared with personal in terests of those producers. will immortalize your name. It is the word of sympathy to the discouraged and the disheartened. Kiudness makes sunshine wherr ever it goes. It does not consist in gifts, but in gentleness and generosity of spirit. The noblest revenge we £an take upon our enemies is to do them a kindness. To return in jury for injury will afford but a temporary gratification to our evil passions, and our enemies will only be rendered more and more bitter against us. But to take the first opportunity of show ing how superior we aire to them by doing them a kindness, or by rendering them a service, is not oiily the nobler way, but the sting of reproach will enter deeply into their souls, and while unto us it )will be a noble retaliation, our triumph will not unfrequently be rendered complete, not only by beating out malice that had oth erwise stood against us, but by bringning repentent hearts to of fer - themsplves at the shrine of friendship. A more glorious vic tory cannot be gained over anoth er than this, that when the injury begun on his part .he kindness should begin pn ours. Speak kindly in the morning for it lightens all the cares of the day. Speak, kindly at night, for they- may be the last. Kind words are the bright flowers of earthly existence. They are jew els beyond price, and powerful-to heal the wounded heart. So let us cultivate the habit of speaking kindly at all times, Susie Jones. Henderson, Ga.

The amount of debt which will hang over the average farmer next fall will depend very largely upon the amount of cotton he will plant this spring. If he increases his acreage in cotton he will have to buj r more guano to do it and other things will also have to be bought. If he reduces his acreage in cot ton he will have less guano to buy and will have room for other crops that will help to pay run ning expenses. A larger patch of oats, corn, hay chufas, peas, etc., and a few more hogs and cows, a few more potatoes this fall, and a few extrav chiokeus and turkeys for the market, will mean more money and less debt in the end. Don’t let the farmers get the idea that everybody else is going to cut down the cotton acreage or that they can bull the price of the staple by declaring “ruin.” “ruin,” “ruin” of the crop along iu July. These things have been tried too often, and have proved a delusion every time. The cotton crop of the South— and especially the sea island crop —will make this section independ ently rich if planted as a surplus crop, but it will prove an unprof itable servant unless other crops are raised in conjunction with it. Let tlie farmers remember that now, and not next fall, is the time for them to act. Stops the Cough and Works off the Cold. Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets cures a cold in one day.

It will thus become the most important sta tistical basis by which will be measured the future advancement of American industry.” The census investigation gives us information worth acquiring, notably the knowledge that we have 012,889 establishments, us ing $9,886,086,909 of capital, and involving the labor of 897,174 officials aud olerks and 5,816,802 wage earners. This vast equip ment consumes '$7,848,144,755 worth of raw materials annually and makes out of the same ma terial 'manufactured products worth altogether $18,014,287,498. These figures all Bhow a healthy inorease over those of 1890. There are forty-four per cent, more establishments now than then;fifty per cent, more capital is used; a fourth more wage ear ners are employed; and the an nual value of the gross product is forty per cent, more than iu 1890. Our rank among the manufac turing nations of the world is first, for according to the esti mates of the late Mr. Mullhall, we produce about h ft lf as much as all of Europe combined. The United Kingdom ranks second, Germany third, France fourth anfi Austria-Hungary fifth. The significance of $18,000,- 000,000, the value of manufactur ed* articles prod uced in 1900, is difficult to realize. It is nine and one-third times the authorized capitilization of the greatest cor poration on earth, the United States Steel Corporation. It is one-fifth of the true value of all real estate and personal property in the United states reported by the census of 1890, or about the valuejof New York andJPennsylva- nia oombined at that time. So great an annual produot has been produced byonr manufacturing establishments only in recent years. The product of 1890 was $9,872,487,288, that of 1880 $5,- 866,679,191 that of 1850 but $1,- 019,106,610. — Prof. Merritt resolved at the be ginning of the year to do all in his power as State School Com missioner to pay the teachers their salaries promptly.* He has taught school long enough to know what a hardship it is to h^ve to wait for weeks for one’s pay or, perhaps, have to sell a school script at a big discount.
