some renting. Mr. T. H. Wil
lingham has sold his Home place
to Mr. Emmitt Vinson of Walden,
Bibb County; the price paid is
unknown to the writer. We are
sorry that Mr. Willingham is go

will miss him in a great many

example to follow, and Whenever
there was any one in need or dis

The Hattie baseball team and
the Dorsey team enjoyed a fine
game of ball Saturday afternoon,
Sept. 26th. There were four in
nings played when tho Hattie
team had to furnish a pitcher for
the Dorsey team. The score un
til theu was four to nothing,
When the game was finished the
score was 7 to 8 in favor of Hat
tie.
We invite the Dorsey team to
play us again, but ask them* to
bring several pitchers with them,
so if one can’t see the batter an
other can, as we may not have
an extra one next time. There is
no use to get angry and cry, when,
Rushing to the bat, the ball does
fly. Rape on the first base when
you hit be sure to make haste;

Financial Independence.
Do Good-lt Pays.
Chicago man has observed
A Uhicago man
that, “Good deeds are better than
real estate deeds—some of the
latter are worthless. Act kindly
and gently, show sympathy and
lend a helping hand. You can
not possibly lose by it.” Most
men appreciate a kind word and
encouragement more than sub
stantial help. There are persons
in this community who might
truthfully say: “My good friend,
cheer up. A few doses of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy will rid
you of your cold, and there is no
danger whatever from pneumonia
when you use that medicine. It
always cures. I know it for it
has helped me out many a time.”

k Savannah Nows,
The interesting announcement
is made by the national officers
of the United Textile Workers’
Union of Amerioa, with headquar
ters at Fall River, Mass., that
they have given u;> the task of or
ganizing the textile workers in
the South. “In the future,” say
these officers, “if organization is
wanted in the South, the demand
will have to oome from those who
are organized. This attempt to
organize the South has cost the
union many thousands of dol
lars.” The officers say that the
Southern operatives refuse to pay
dues.
It should be noted at the out
set that 1 the demand for organiza
tion in the South did not come
from the operatives of the South,
but from those of New England.
The New Englanders, seeing that
the South was manufacturing
oottou goods cheaper than they
oould do it, set about to find some
means by whioh the growth of
cotton manufacturing in the
South oould be oheaked and the
business retained in the North.
As one means to this end they
pitched upon the organization of
the Southern cotton mill labor;
not because of any real sympathy
which they felt for the labor of
the South, but because they had
their own interest at heart. If
the Southerners could be induced
to make it unpleasant for em
ployers and cut down their prof
its, there would be a checking of
the manufacturing movement) in
the South. That is dohbtless
why the unions of Fall River and
other Massachusetts towns were
willing to spend thousands of-dol
lars in au effort to organize-the
South. !
The vast majority of Southern
cotton mill operatives are native
whjta people who were born and
bred on the soil and expect to
die here. They were raised in an
atmosphere of freedom and are
sticklers for the greatest degree
of personal liberty consistent
with the law. Moreover, they are
given to thinking for themselves
and to demanding good reasons
“why” when a suggestion is made
to them involving a surrender of
their freedom of action and a
change in their mode of living.
These Southerners have never ask
ed to be organized. They* felt
themselves competent to take
care of their own affairs. When
the New Englanders came down
to organize them they began to
ask the reason. They reached
the conclusion that they did not
care to be organized, and to pay
dues, for the benefit of the New
Englanders; hence the -failure of
the philanthropic scheme of the
Massachusetts organizers. When
the Southern operatives feel the
need of organization, they will
attend to the matter themselves.
Twenty men of the hospital
corps of the army have been de
tailed to chew food that Prof.
Crittenden of Yale will give them.
Then the professor will carefully
watch results. His idea is that
food is “bolted” to the detriment
of the human system, and that a
small quantity, properly mastica
ted, is as effective as a stomach
full that has been hurriedly chew
ed and swallowed. A year’s course
is contemplated for this detail.

St. Louts Republic.
More apparent daily becomes
the everlasting truth embodied in
the old saw: “Westward the
course of empire takes its way,”
It is so with wealth as with all
the other components of empire.
The financial stature of New York
has so far increased that it is very
nearly upon a parity with Lon
don, and the prediction may be
ventured that London not many
years hence will be more depen
dent on New York than New York
on Loudon,
This is the broadest phase. In
the United States the indications
point to a gradual drifting West
of financial strength. The Mid
dle West, while allied with and
more or less affected by New
York, is achieving a more certain
financial identity.
There follows,f for St. Louis in
particular a9 the central city of
the WeBt, independence-r-a limit
ed independence—of the East, the
measure of whioh will surely grow.
The independence of St. Louis
and the West does not mean a re
duction of New York’s dignity or
its commerce. New York will
grow, but the Western cities will
increase in business importance
thrioe as rapidly.
Already the West is emancipa
ted from Wall street, if that spot
be regarded as not wholly New
York and as the nest of specula
tors. The power of these specu
lators to disturb conditions is de
creasing. It is a power which
seeniB to permeate our National
Oongjjess, and whioh the Demo
cratic party is arrayed against.
But sober persons have learned
that the watered stock barons,
with their inflated millions, their
control of certain securities, do
not “own” the country.
Recently, when securities took
such a tumble, surprise was voic
ed in the East that we of the
West were not shaken with com
mercial ague. But we knew thp,t
in our tributary States is the
center of production and that
Wall street’s fits were merely Eas
tern indigestion. We knew that
crop indications were bright. If
now frost damages the grain still
in the field the effect indeed will
be of consequence, But Wall
street speculations have not af
fected the West.
Confessions of a Prtest.
Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake,
Ark., writes, “For 12 years I suf
fered from Yellow Jaundice, I
consulted a number.of physicians
and tried all sorts of medicines,
but gou no relief. Then I began
the use of Electriot Bitters and
feel that I am now cured of a dis
ease that had me in its grasp for
twelve years.” If you want a re
liable medicine for Liver and Kid
ney trouble, stomach disorder or
general debility, get Electric Bit

, The rapidly increasing price cf
silver is likely,to bring about a
curious state of affairs in the
Philippines. When the Philippine
coinage bill was under considera
tion in the House last session, the
democrats, and a minority of the
republicans, passed a substitute
measure which made United
States money legal tender in the
Philippines. Later, the Senate
passed a measure which provided
for the Philippine peso and made
it and United States money legal
tender. The House was whipped
into line during the closing hours
of the session aud the Senate bill
became a law. Now, the price of
silver has advanced almost 50 per
cent and is quoted at 61 58 cents
an ounce. If it reaches 64 cents
the peso will be worth more than
their face value as bullion and
will be promptly melted and sold
as such. That* would leave the
only legal tender money in the
islands, the legal tender of the
United States, as provided by the
minority bill.-—Our Washington
