BALKDOM HARDWARE COPANY, Inc- 362 Third St-. . ” MACON, GEORGIA. 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. Home Mission Department. Written For tho Homo Journal This first report to this united body ot the dome and Foreign Missionary Societies of the church, deals distinct ively with the “Jerusalem, ami in all Judea, aud Samaria” part of our com- mission. We cannot but rejoice that our work has not ended with this ser- 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 to Report growth iu many departments.

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. —Omaha Bee. 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 Hot Times Ahead. 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. Wo shall see what we shall see.— E awso n NewB. 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.— Albany Herald. — The best and biggist line oX Light weight Coats. Gilbert-Swawsoro Co 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 ‘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.
