TO THE SCHOOL AT HABBI3 ACADEMY.
Trip, Ga., Nov. ft. 189 ft.
Will the editor please allow me
space to say a few words to the
patrons of the literary school at
Harris Academy ? A 9 it has suit
ed them for mo to serve them an
other year, I already feel an inter
est in the school, and acknowledge
my appreciation, and ask them to
accept my thanks for the same.
And-now, gentlemen and patrons
of the school: I asiuyour hearty
encouragement and support, as it
is needed and required to*l ave a
successful school. I ask your co
operation, your sympathy and
friendship, as it is essential to
success. Let us come together
with tenewed energy, and a burn
ing ambition to do our whole duty
in cultivating a taste in the hearts
of our young for “the beautiful,
the true and the good,” and re
member that each has a separate
duty to perform—the teacher, the
parent, the pupil—and if one is
discharged and the other neglect
ed what will be the result ? Any
thing hut satisfactory.
Now, I appeal to you, for spur
sake, for the sake of your children
who will survive you, and the
community in which you live, and
ask you to stand together as a
unit, for “in unity there is
strength.” Throw no obs‘acles
in the way, hut for (jo*’ sake
give the teacher a fa.r chance,
which they seldom get. And then
his dutt r is to “Allure to brighter
worlds and lead the way.” Solo
mon says, “In all thy getting get
wisdom.” Now without it life
would be a faillire; let us strive
for it, and thirst for it. ask for it
from the right source, and be as
willing to impart to others. “Good
sense will stagnate; thoughts shut
up want air,” says some writer,
and I agree.
Now, as time is about up, I ask
all who are concerned in the
school at Harris Academy, and
feel an interest in the work at
that place, to please meet me on
Friday night, November 17, as
there is some business of import
ance to attend to. School will
begin on Monday, Nov. 20, if it
suits your convenience. Hoping
to meet all, and asking you to ac
cept my apologies for the above,
I am, Yours ready to serve,
J. A. Smith.

‘•The other day, on an electric
car, a friend said softly: ‘I want
you to notice this man two seats

and is showing her the sights.
His care of the old lady is some
thing beautiful: I have beon
watching them for time, and, oh I
how lovely it is to see a man so
tender and kind with his old moth
er!’ Straightway it became a fas
cination to watch in turn the pair
who were too much engrossed with
the passing scenes—one in point
ing out, the other in observing—to
know or care anything for watch
iug eyes. The old lady’s shawl
would slip a little too low on the
thin shoulders, and her ‘boy,’ a
man himself getting on in years,
would carefully draw it into place.
One arm was thrown protectingly
across the back of the seat, resting
with a re-assuring touch against
her arm.

16 to 1 In the Election!.
It is stated that when Mr. Bry
an received from the ex-chairmau
of th? Democratic State commit
tee oif Massachusetts on Tuesday
night a dispatch to the effect that
Boston, which gave McKinloy 18,'
000 majority, had gone democratic
by 7,500 majority, Mr. Towne, a
prominent silverito who was pros**
ent, said : “That shows where the
gold democrats have been.”
And does it not show that the
number, of them is quite large ?
And is it not probable that if sil
ver is made a leading issue in 1000
they will be then just where they
were in 1896 ?
These are questions that are
w orthy of the most careful consid
eration by the democratic leaders.
The fusiouists carried Nebraska on
Tuesday. It is safe to assert that,
owing to the popularity of Mr.
Bryan, the democrats, without re
gard to the silver question, voted
the democratic ticket —gold dem
ocrats as well as silver democrats.
The election was astute one. Cun
the gold democrats of Nebraska or
any oter state be depended upon to
vote the democratic ticket in the
national election in 1900 if silver
is the leading issue ?
It is probable that the gold dem
ocrats generally voted the demo
cratic ticket this year, the election
not being a natioual out". Doubt
less their votes were chiefly instru
mental in bringing Maryland hack
into the democratic fold.
It is doubtful if the silver ques
tion played a very important part
in the election in either Ohio or
Kentucky. In Ohio the republic
ans made a special effort to have
the President’s Philippine policy
indorsed, and they were successful.
In Kentucky a large faction of
democrats were bitterly hostile
to William Goebel, the democrat
ic nominee for governor. If the
party had been united the demo
cratic ticket would have been suc
cessful.
Is there anything in Tuesday’s
elections which encourages the be
lief that the chances of the demo
cratic party would be better next
year with silver as the leading is
sue than if it were given less prom
inence than it had in the last na
tional election ? That is a ques
tion to which a great deal of con
sideration will be, aud ought to be.

mance of the first man in Georgia

whose upturned faces greeted him
from the rows of desks was one of
a rosy-faced lass. He soon felt
the pow’er of the frank, innocent
girl eyes, and lost his heart. t The
object of his love was t(je' , l»ung
to be approached with thtrrooject,
and her continued presence in the
sohool room was a menace to his
happiness. He was sorely dis
quieted, toe, with persistent long
ings to possess the red lips and
feel that he had a proprietorship
over them. Finally, he decided to
write to the girl’s father His
letter, iu substance, was: ‘I love
your daughter. She is too young
to be made love to yet. Take her
out of my school until I can come
to ask her of you.’ Iu time he
sought her out and won her. Could
a prettier, sweeter romance be
conceived ? It is not to be won

"MANIFEST DESTINY’* IN 185 S.
Tim story is going tho rounds
that an old scrap book, musty and
yellow with age, has come to light
revealing the fact that the late
.Gen. Henry R, Jackson, of Geor
gia, was an ardent expansionist. It
appears that he not only approved
the annexation of the territory
that became ours as a result of the
Mexican war, but intimated that
he would like to see the annexa
tion of Mexico itseljf, as well as of
Cuba. These sentiments were ex
pressed by Gen Jackson in the
Georgia house of representatives
on November 23, 1858, in the fol
lowing words:
“Responding to the call with which
I have been so highly honored.address
ing an audience so largely composed
of the public men of Georgia, it will be
naturally expected that I shall direct
my remarks to matters of public con
cern, (tic public policy of the country,
state or federal. The controling feat
ure of that policy for the future, in all
probability for the immediate and
pressing future, will be, in my judg
ment, the extension of our national ter
ritory. The further proposition de
ducted from this is equally clear that
the chief hope, as well as the chief dan
ger, of the south must be sought in the
bearing or this principle of territorial
expansion upon her domestic institu
tions.
“The public opinion of the civilized
world lias been rapidly coming to tlie
conclusion of late that the peculiar re
lations existing between us and tlie
Island of Cuba, and more especially
(lie states of Mexico, can only result in
their annexation. The change of pub
lic sentiment upufl this question among
our own people is worthy of note. Many
of us can remember the violent opposi
tion which was made to the annexation
of Texas; yet who would now he wil
ling |o see I he once ‘bone Star’ strick
en from our national banner ? At the
conclusion of our late war with Mexico
when it was proposed to purchase new
territory, the idea met with a like re
sistance, and yet who would not now
exercise all the power of the national
grasp to retain our golden states of the
Pacific ? Nay, did our American army
now stand as it stood ten years ago in
the Mexican Capitol, who among us
would advocate the policy of surren
dering what we might properly have
held under the laws of nations by tile
right of conquest ?
“To extend American territory lias
been styled onr ‘manifest destiny,’ and
erroneously in so far as it would seem
to appropriate to ourselves what we
simply share in common with the lead
ing powers of the earth.
“There is no fact better established
in history, than that so soon as a dom
inant empire instinct with its own pe
culiar principle of civilization ceases
to expand, it begins to decay.”
Whatever may be thought of
Gen. Jackson's concluding words
as to their bearing upon the Amer
ican republic, it is certainly true
of all the empires known to histo
ry, that wlion they ceased to ex
pand they began to decay. This
Woice’out of the past captivates at
tention if it does not carry convic
tion. The “manifest destiny” of
the present day expansionists has
been derided as thp cry of a new
set of degenerates, but it here ap
pears that the expression and the
sentiment behind it are as old as
1858 and older.—Macon Telegraph.

COTTON MILL LABOR.
The Manufacturers’ Review of ,
Birmingham, after canvassing the ,
cotton mill situation in the south,
reaches the conclusion that the
time is not far distant when the ;
supply of white labor will be ex- ;
hausted. That point, it is assert- ,
ed, has now been pretty nearly 1
reached in the cotton manufactur
ing sections of North and South
Carolina, and also in some of the
Georgia mill towns. Even uow a
new mill has to give closest atten- ,
tion to its labor supply; and new ,
mills are being projected every
month, almost every week, in the
Carolinas and Georgia. The Re
view says that at present mill man
agers in the Carolinas are sending
agents into Georgia and Alabama,
aud even to the upjk| portions of
Mississippi, to secure for new
a supply of labor. There are ut
present approximately 500 cotton
mills in the south. During the
next few years, probably within
five or six years unless all signs
fail, that number will be duplica
ted. The southern people want
more mills, and are building them
as fast as they can. But the Re
view assetts positively that the
white labor supply cannot stand a
duplication of the present demand
upon it. Within the next five
years, it is predicted, there will be
such a scarcity of white labor for
the mills as to cause a sharp rise
in wages. Then where is the labor
for the additional mills to come
from ? Why, from the black race,
answers the Review. It takes no
stock in the claim that the negro
cannot be made a good operative.
CHEAPESnOUiiI^Q
HWtiEHCEV!.nr
All coons may look alvire, hytHhey
are not all alike, and sh-ere are
many <*uick and intelligent indi
viduals among them. This is to
be seen in the fact that there are
so many competent and successful
carpentprs, masons and other skill
ed laborers with black faces.
It is possible that the blacks
may be made good operatives, and
that mills may be profitably run
with them. It is probable, too,
that the time is not far distao i
when the white labor supply
be exhausted and the mill oW me
will have to look to the black ra
for their help. But in that evont'f
there would have to be exclusively
white mills and exclusively black
mills. It would not be practica
ble to have the two colors in one
mill. Racp prejudice would pre-
vent them from working togother
upon equal terms, or, in fact, up
on any other terms. Especially is
this true when it is remembered
that women and girls as well as
men and boys wprk in the mills.
The impossibility of white and
black operatives getting along to
gether in harmony has been shown
in several r«cent instances in cer
tain mills in this state. There is
or.e largo cotton mill in Charleston
that is being operated with colored
labor. A mill to employ colored
labor exclusively is being built in
North Carolina. These experi
ments are expected to demonstrate
the value of th« negro as a cotton
mill hand. The Charleston expe
riment. has been now in progress
for more than a year, and reports
respecting it are of an encouraging
character.—Savannah News.

THE kino of the crops.
In our own suction wo are so ac
customed to think of cotton as
king that we find it hard to n-n Li.
ize that the king of all crops artlm
United States us a whole is ooru,
the cereal which originated and is
peculiarly at home on the Ameri
can continent. The corn crop of
1898 was worth $552,0518,428, while
the cotton crop for the same year
was worth only $819,491,412. It
is true that the acreago devoted to
corn was nearly twice as groat,
but so was the value of the pro
duct.
In Ainslee’s Magazine for Noli
vernber John Gilmer Speed pre
sents the following interesting
showing of the acreage, yield and
value of our more important crops
for the previous year:
“In 1898 there were 77,721,781
acres planted in corn and the pro
duction was 1,924,184,600 bushels
with a value of $552,028,428.
“In the year the wheat
acreage was 44,455,278 acres, pro
ducing 675,148,705 bushels, and
the value was $892,770,820. The
value of the oat crop was $186,406,-
864; of the barley crop $28,464,-
859; of the rye crop $11,875,850;
of the buckwheat crop $5,271,462.
The cotton crop was the product
of 24,819,584 acres, and was worth
$819,491,412. Here we see that
the total value of all the bread
making cereals only exceeded that
of Indian corn by about 11 per
cent., while tho value of the cot
ton crop was only about fifty-sev
en and one-half per cent, of that
of Indian corn.”
“There is no better barometer’
by which commercial men and in
vestors can be guided,”, says this
writer, “than the size and value
gpf the corn crop. The present
year promises to be the greatest
(f>rn season ever known. The
acreage is larger, the yield is lur
ger and the price is likely to be
good. This means a tremendous
lot to the country at large, but it
has a peculiar significance in those
states particularly devoted to the
cultivation of this cereal. In
Kansas, where only a little while
ago every kind of calamity was
anticipated, the corn crop is more
abundant than ever before, and
there is actually a boom—a boom
in ‘bleeding Kansas.’ The poets
are making verses to celebrate the
great good fortune which has come
to a people who were persuaded
they were oppressed and down
trodden.
Here is a hint for the depressed,
all-cottou-planting farmers of the
South.—Macon Telegraph.

aro deserting Aguinaldo’s stand
ard in large numbers.
It may be, that the Admiral
speaks a little too strongly when
lie says the insurrection is very
near its end. Agtiinaldo Appears
to be still making a pretty .good
fight, and those who are returning
from Manila do not seem to think
the end of the war is yet in eight.
Still, the Admiral ought to be ex
cellent authority in respect to the
feeling among the insurgents. If
he is right, and the end of the in*
surrection is apparent, no time
should be lost in establishing a
stable and liberal government itt
the islands. And the greatest care
ought to be taken in tbe selection
of officials. Men should be chosen
who would give the Filipinos a
good impression of our govern
ment, and who would assist them
in gettiug an understanding of
matters pertaining to government.
They should lie permitted to man
age their own affairs as soon as
they uro qualified to do so. There
is no reason why this government
should oxtreise more than a pro
tecting care over them after they
have been prepared for self-gov
ernment. —Savannah Nows. 4

Them is in Berlin a man who is
the proud possessor of a timepiece
which is considered to be the most
•marvelous piece of rnechanicism
that humau skill ever put togeth
er, says the New York Herald. In
genuity and human skill have
been brought into operation, with
the result that a watch has been
constructed which measures less/
than one-quarter of an inch in di
ameter, or one with a face of about
tbe size of the head of a large tack
or nail. The case is made of the
very finest of gold, aud the whole
watch weighs less than two grains,
Yroy. In Troy weight it takes 480
grains to make an ounce, and 12
ounces constitute a pound, or 5,-
700 grains are contained in a
pound. This wonderful pie««j)X.
mechanism weighs only une-2880th
part of a pound. So great a curi
osity was this midgit considered
that its owner paid $1,946.60 for
it, aDd he would not sell it for
twice that amount. The numerals
on the face are in Arabic, and if
the hands were put end to end
they would not measure 5-34ths of
au inch in length, the large one
being less thau one-eighth and the
small one less than one-twelfth of
an inch long. It has besides, iust
as an ordinary watch or clock, a
second indicator, which is about as
large in diameter as the small
hand is long, aud the hand of this
second indicator is less than one
sixteenth of an inch in length.
The numerals are engraved in red
to be more easily discernible. It
is constructed on the most im
proved plan, being wound by the
stem and set by ptflling the stem
out a short distance.
