OLUME XIII
The; Cost Of Living.
The index figures of the reliabley
commercial agencies show, that
since July, 1897, the cost of the
necessaries of life have increased
per capita in this country about
forty dollars, That means that we
pay, every man of Us, for actual
necccssaries 60 per cent more than
we were paying when William Mc
Kinley was inaugurated president
This is one of the facts in the era of
prosperity that makes one’s Jiurra
clutter in his throat.
It is a fact, however, that de
serves too serious study of the far
mers of ‘ Georgia. They should
realize that this year they must
either raise more.home supplies of
all kinds, or they must prepare
themselves to pay from 60 fco 100
per cent more for those articles to
the producers, j packers and fac
tors of the west and north than
they did four years ago.
Can they afford to do that? Do
they really think they can raise
enough cotton and get such prices
for it as will make it easy to meet
this advanced cost of living with
out deprivations or debt? We com
mend this problem to their careful
study in all its important details
and suggestions—Atlanta Consti

In Kansas there, is a baby that
has a railroad as its foster parent..
The little mite, a lusty and well
favored child of a few months of
age, was found abandoned in a
coach of the * Choctaw Railroad. A
card pinned to the baby said: “I
have no parents; please take me to
next station.” The railroad
m ■
management decided to adopt the
child and rear and educate it at
the road’s expense. It is now in a
hospital in Wichita. Whether the
railroad will be a father or mother
to the child is a question* but the
chances are the little one will grow
well cafedJpr and^become a useful
member of society.
Admiral Prince Henry is said to
enthusiastic over the prospects of
his trip to the United States. He.is
quoted as having said the other
day: “It has been the dream of my.
life to visit the United States,and
this tripComes how like a gift from .
heaven.” If he will only extend
his, to within range of Chatham
Artillery punch, we think we can
guarantee the imperial visitor some
dreams that will put to shame any
that have heretofore come to him.
