The South as a National Asst
Atlanta Constitution.
Pointing to the tact that the season
now approaching its close has witness
ed less fluctuation in the prices for
cotton than its predecessors for years
past, a coutemporary estimates that
two-thirds of the last crop, or about
8,000,0u0 bales, sold for about $600,-
000,000. Add to that the price like
ly to be Received for the semainder ot
the crop and for cotton seed—and the
south’s contribution to the national
revenues, from this source alone, will
be in excess of one billion dollars.
In other wordc, the income from the
south’s great staple could finance the
expenditures of a session of the nation
al cougress, in its mott extravagant
mood, up to tho present moment.
„Qne of the best features is that tho
farmer has this year benefited more
largely from reasonable prices than iu
many proviouaiseasons. Cotton, with
the exception of a month or two, has
consistently averaged 15 cents a
pound, or about $75 a bi le, to the
producer. It is not hyperbole to say
that, lrom this angle, it has beeu lilt
ing mortgages wit.i the velocity of
dynamite. That docs not take into
account the saving at two other ends-
Cadi brought by the increased corn
yield, diversification geuearlly, ail'd
money kept in the south formerly sent
west for grain and meat.
Footing up tin iron, the coal, tho
timber and the manufactured prodets
3 ielded by the southern states, the
financ al value of this section to the
rest of the country begins to appear.
The latter is emphasized with respect
to cotton. For the annual tide ot
foreign gold that comes here to pay
tor cotton is the reliance of the na
tions bankers for keeping our inter-
uational cash balance ou tin right
side of the ledger.
If we have achieved this position
with scientific agriculture, diversifi
cation and manufacturing yot in their
infancy—what may we not anticipate
when all three shall coaie into tueir
own and the millions of idle south
ern acres be surrendering divident to
thrifty American settlers! 1
Neither is the image a dream—-un
less coming conditions commonly
known of the most rational business
men may be called that.
Every scheme that has yet been
advanced for redistricting the state
under the last census “except one’’
gives North Georgia the new congress
ional district that will neccessarily be
created under the reapportionment act.
in view of the fact that that section
has lost in population while South
Georgia has had phenomenal igrowth
it is rather cheeky for it to want
the new district. It is getting time
for South Georgia to demand her
rights, sit down on the North Georgia
politicians and take vvliat belongs to
her. We have the people that made
the new district possible, and of course
we should have the district.—Daw
son News.
The man who fails ought to take
the philosophic view of the ball team
which loses—there is always the pros
pect of victory tomorrow.
Champ Clark, speaker of the House
of Representative, is represented in a
Washington dispatch as believing that
his chances of winning the Democracy
nomination for President are good.
He has come to this conclusion only
within J.he last few weeks. He is
Very modest about it and is by no
means ready to make, a formal an
nouncement that lie is in the race.
Mr. Clark has never concealed the
fact that he would like to be Presi-.
dent or that he would like to run for
. President with an even chance of win-
i ning agaiust his Republican opponent,
I “When a man comes around and
j wants to nominate you for the presi-
| dency,” he said, “you ave not going
j to throw him out of the window. At
least,!, am not.”—Georgia. Ex.

vice but that this year we have girdled
the globe with the living message
of hope. ,
Notwithstanding the tact that tho
merging of the three missionary bodies
ot the church, into one came, as a
great surprise and heart-break to
some portions of the church, the wo
men have rallied about tho standards
that have bern raised and wo aro able

Simplicity of Speech.
, Whether or not the traveler is i
right who contends that 50 words aro
enough for man’s practical needs, his
theory of an abridged vocabulary for I
evorjday use is in line, with the teu-|
deucy or speech in this country. Wo
are simplirjing the language to the
extent of preferring the simpler lorms' 1
of expression, both in our writing and
our speaking, it is purifying our
speech and improving our diction. 1
The master of simpio English, who 1
who can write or speak iu terms of
the must coaimonplaee language, is-
the most effective. Even eloquence 1
may be well defined ns simplicity.
a great New York minister has re
cently published a series pf discours
es in book form aud one may read
half way through the volume before'
he comes upon a word that is not 1
common to the simplest speech. Yet 1
the book hi its diction is powerful.
There is such a thing as working lor
the language, and such a thing > as 1
letting the language work for you. 1
The master of English does the latter.

Copsul William Coffin writes from
Jerusalem that Jewish colonies at
Petach Tikwa, Riohon le Zion, and
Rehoboth, all near Jaffa, have plant
ed a large number of almond trees,
and the prospects are that almond
cultivation there will increase largely
during the next few years

Both I ho prohis aud the nntiV eon-
ctdo that there is going to bo a l ght
over the liquor qutBtiou at the turn
ing session of tho ItgiBlature.
The local optionists of the stale are
quietly organizing tor a campaign bo-
lore the goneral assembly, and the li
quor men, it is said, will introduce a
local option Rill, while, on the other
baud, the anti saloon people are pre
paring to ask tho legislature for the
repeal of tho near beer law, a bill to
regulate locker clubs more rigidly and
change tho word “intoxicating” to
“ttlcholic” in the prohibition Act.
“It is said that efforts aro now be
ing niado to reconcile tho brewery
and whiskey interests, tin former hav
ing hitherto been inactive. A num
ber of Georgia breweries, however,
wliitdh at one time had heavy sales of
barrel beer, eftim; that the present
law iB hurting their business, while
tho big bottleing companies outside
the state are rouping richer harvests
than over. That a warm fight is to be
waged in the legislature ail now ad-
mit, and that the linos will, be closely
drawn no one will deny.”
During the last stale campaign it
was quietly whispered around where
it would do the most good that if the
election went a cortaiu way the liquor
interests would have nothing to lose.
It went, and now if they get thbir
measure through the legislature they
feel that there will be no other ob
stacle iu the way of wiping the pres-
eut prohibition law off tho statutes.

It Always Happens Thus.
From tlfe Savannah News. 0
An “ultimate consumer” of tele
phone service in Virginia complained
to the Interstate Commerce Commiss
ion that the company was discrimi
nating against some of its ?uetomers,
in that it was serving others at a low.er
rate. Forthwith the commission or
dered that there must be no discrimi
nation, and now tho higher rate will
go into effect all round. Tho ultinate
consumer in this instance has not ben
efited anybody except the corpora
tion that lie sought to hamper. Some
how or other it turns out that the
money interests gets the best of about
every contioveipy that ccmeB up.
The determinatUn of the Ways
and Means committee to bring the
wool schedule to a revenue basis is
in line with good Democratic doctrine.
A tariff for revenue is what the party
has stood for since long before Mr.
Brj f an’s voice was heard in party
councils. To contend that there is no
middle ground between protection and
out and-out free trade is ridiculous.—

The Philadelphia Record makes
this sober observation: “We have'
made some pngress in aerial naviga- j
tion, but no' nearly so much as Hti
ate apt to imagine in -c-Jiuslastic (
moments. The aeioplanes have killed |
forty-seven persons in two years and
eight months, md of the dirigible bal
loons six of Count, Zeppelin’s iuVcn
tion and several of Mnjor Pawoval’s
have been wrecked. The ‘dirigible
balloons have too vast a bul'fc and the
aeroplanes have not enough touoya ncy.
'This is from the Baltimore Ameri
can: “Automobiles run down people
in the streets, aeroplanes swoop down
on unsuspecting beholderp, andiffolks
in the water keep down far enough to
avoid motorboats, they drown. Ow
ing to the modaru day craze for ra
pid transit, there is liter illy no safety
in the air above, the waters below or
on the surface of the earth.”
