Why need we live a life of sorrow When pleasures lie in store for us. W hy need we think grievously of the morrow? The thoughts of today are quite enough. Why need we pine in nadneas And burden our heart* with grief ? W’hy not sing sougs of gladness And give our hearts relief? W hy need we reflect on trouble And join sorrow’s sad throng V We only make our sorrows double By dwelling on them long. Why nothing and be merry. And drive the gloom away ? There’s n-» need of being so dreary. After the night comes the day. ; Lot your life be like the morning, With its fresh, dew-kissed grass. Do not at others be scorning, You’re only drinking from sorrow’s bitter glass. You may be wounded by Cupid’s dart, And ofttimes in darkness grope.

PROFIT IN COTTON MILI-S. Mr Witham, of Atlanta, who is the parent, as we may say, of twenty-seven banks in Georgia, writes a very interesting letter to The Tradesman, of Chattanooga, in which he says that the day of small cotton mills has come and that the south must spiu her eu tire cottou crop. He says that there is uo reason why the south shouldn’t get from $75 to SIOO for a bale of cotton worked up, in stead of SBO for the raw material. He adds: I.abor is plentiful ami cheap in Geor gia. The success of Georgia cotton mills has proven that southern men know how to run them. From per sonal experience I know that cotton mills of from 5,000 to 10,000 spindles pay much better dividends than mills of larger size. As many years ago the west attracted the attention of capital ists and business men, so now the eyes of this class are turned to the south. 1 can name halt a dozen cotton mills in this state (Georgia) having from four to ten thousand spindles which show net earnings of from 25 to 60 per cent, during the past twelve months. lam a stockholder and know. lam now organizing three new cotton mills. Mr. Witham speaks, of course, of the mills with which he is fa miliar. As a matter of fact, there is uot a mill in the state that is not clearing a profit of 50 per cent. That profit is not all paid out in dividends, being devoted in some cases to the accumulation of a surplus and in others to en largements and additions to the productive capacity of the mills. Every new mill and every addi tion to old mills means an addi tiotjal demand for the raw mate rial, and in every community where a new mill is put in opera tion, it means a heavy increase in the local trade and retention in the community of large sums of money that would otherwise be sent out, and the circulation of a very large amount that would never have come into the commu nity but for the mill. The demand for raw cottou for consumption in the mill attracts the farmers who would other vise haul their cotton to other markets. In spite of the railway line 3 in Georgia, what is called the wagon trade is almost as heavy as it was half a century ago. The farmers do uot have to haul their cotton to Augusta, or to Macon, as they once did, but they do have to haul it to market, and they will carry it to the market that payß the most money for cotton. Distance cuts no figure in this movement to market, They would as soon haul their cotton forty miles as to haul it ten if they can get better prices for it. The teams would have to be fed and drivers paid in any event, and the wear and tear of a farm wagon can be remedied on the farm. These considerations have led us to wonder why the spirit of en terprise which characterizes our business men does not lead them to make the most profitable in vestment that is now open to cap ital—an investment that would not only put mouey in their pock ets in the shape of dividends, but add largely to the population and general trade of the community. As a distributing point, reached by competing transportation lines, Atlanta should have in her neigh borhood at least a dozen of the largest cotton mills in the coun try. Nothing would so materially increase the commercial prestige of the town; nothing else would add in such a substantial manner to the prospeiity of the communi ty.- For the mouey retained here as the result of the earning power of the cottou mills would present ly seek other advantageous forms of investment, and various kinds of productive iudustry would he established here. The complaint made some time ago by our retail merchants in re gard to the loss of Atlanta’s wagon trade is bound to grow more seri ous unless the energy of our citi zens is expended somewhat in the direction of making Atlanta a bet ter and more profitable market for cotton. When neighboring towns of a few hundred inhabitants are able, by reason of the operations of a cotton factory, to pay New York prices for cotton, the farm ers will not hesitate a moment. They will take their cotton and their trade to those points, no mat ter how inconvehieut it may be to go to those points with their wag ons. We know of one farmer who lives within hearing of Atlanta’s steam whistles who hauled his cot ton and carried his trade to a town thirty miles away because he could sell it in that market for 7 cents a pound. We are sure that those who are watchful of the interests o r Atlan ta will not permit this deficit of trade to increase to any large ex tent. We must join enthusiastic- ally with that movement which is engaged itr transferring the cotton spinning industry of the world to the southern states. There is uo community in the south better equipped than Atlanta with the energy, enterprise and capital nec essary to aid in the beginning as well as in the success of this great movement.—Atlanta Constitution. THK FUTURE OF CUBA. We published yesterday two in teresting dispatches relative to the condition of affairs in Cuba. One was an interview with Brigadier- General Ludlow, military governor of Havana, and the other was the substance of an article in the In dependent by Generul Lee. The situation in Cuba, as learned from these authorities, is very much improved, and it is becoming better all the time. There is a greater security for life and prop erty and steadily increasing pros perity. The Americans are better liked, both civilians and soldiers, and there is greater confidence in the promises of the American gov ernment. The intelligent Cubans now believe that the Cuban people will have independence if they want it, but they don’t expect it immediately. Indeed, thoy see thg necessity for delay. They are beginning to admit that they did not understand as well as the Americans what was necessary to be done before giving self-govorn meut a trial. General Lee says that the Cu bans do not themselves know whether they want independence or annexation. Some are insist ing on one thing and some on the other. There are a few hot-heads who would like to take hold of public affairs at ouce, believing they are capable of conducting a government. They are so much in the minority, however, that what they say does not make much of an impression. It is doubtful if the president has yet settled upon recommenda tions to congress for the govern ment of Cuba, though there are in dications as to what congress will be asked to do. The census of the island is now being taken, which doubtless meaiiß that the Cubans will be given an opportunity to cal! a convention, which will frame a constitution. There is nothing definite as yet as to whether all male citizens over twenty-one years of age will be permitted to lake part in this election for delegates to a convention, or whether the ballot will be confined to those who can read and write. If the suffrage should be based ou educa tional qualifications there would be a great deal of dissatisfaction, in all probability, because fully thirty per cent, of the population is illiterate. It is probable that the proposed constitutional assembly will pre sent some lively scenes. The ques tion of annexation or independ ence will of course be considered by it The chances are that the decision will be in favor of inde pendence. It would be better for Cuba if it should be. The Cubans will never be satisfied until they have had a taste of independence. It is safe to predict that self-gov ernment will he a failure and then annexation will come. It is apparent that if a program, something like this, is carried out, our occupation of the island will continue for a good long time to come, because it would be folly to withdraw all troops before the ex periment of Bolf-governmeiit had been given a fair trial. Besides, it will be necessary to preserve or der during the time the new -gov ernment is getting into working shape. If the experiment should fail, it would not taka long, of course, to bring about annexation. It will be a year probably before anything respecting Cuba’s future will be settled. —Savannah News.

There are too many hot times in the old town for the Solons to buckle down to steady work. This Hero and Pageant business has all got to be attended to, and the interest of the people can wait and whistle while it is going on. First it is the Hero of Manila, who didn't come, and the accumu lated steam had to be blown off in favor of the First Assistant Hero of Manila. Then there being a few scraps of cold patriotism left over for hash, the Hero of Santi ago was called in, hut there being another claimant for this particu lar Heroship, the legislators took upon itself the job of pumping out and corking and putting up his claim, which they did by some unanimous and simultaneous whereases and resolutions declar ing it to he the sense (vast in quantity) of the Georgia legisla ture that the Hero then on hand was the greatest naval comtnaud er in history. Then the State Fair had to be seen regularly— and from our best advices it took considerable time to find it —with its bogus railroad collisions, div ing horses, and its midway, and many other diverting things that appealed to the appetite and cu riosity of the average Solon far more than the dry and musty routine of legislative work, With the pageants, grand pro cessions, sword presentations, lov ing cups, rallies, hurrahs, and the ever-present two-storied rum punch, which they have with them alwav, is it any wouder that our legislators waste a groat deal of their time ? But after awhile they will get in a hurry. Along toward the end of the session they will turn out laws and things at a great rote of speed. That is how we came to have so many botched statutes. That is how we come to have so many enactments that contain errors and absurdities that one would think could not have passed the scrutiny of a school-boy. This gives plenty of work to the Supreme court, and justifies 'he wisdom of these dear Solons in enacting the law to in crease the number of Justices. Aud our dear Solons must go home on Saturday to see Betty and the baby and lose part of Mnndav in getting buck to work. This is why the}’ refused last week, by a vote of 80 to 62, to give up their free railroad passes. This is a shame. The State allows them 10 cents a mile for traveling to the session and 10 cents for re turning home at the close. Is not this enough, when the fare they pay is only 8 cents? We very much fear for the honesty of rail road legislation when the legisla tors have free passes in their pock ets from the roads. Imagine, if you can, a Judge sitting on a rail road case witli a railroad pass in his pocket, or a jury trying a dam age suit against a railroad with free passes in their inside pockets. If you cannot readily imagine such things of those who oxecute the laws, then what will you say of those who make the laws ?

In commenting on the result of recent elections the New York Times says: “If the friends of William J. Bryan are not wholly deprived of sight and sense they must, perceive that the state elec tions held yesterday terminate his political career. The voters did not indorse him or his principles.” This is a hasty judgment. It looks very much as if Mr. Bryan was indorsed in Nebraska. The majority for the fusion ticket was about as large as it was in 1896, and greater bv 10,000 votes than it was in 1898. That looks as if his friends were standing by him in his own state. If it had not been for his efforts it is probable that Nebraska would have gone Repub lican. It is true that Mr. Bryan did some campaign work in Ohio and Kentucky. He does not appear to have made much of an impres sion in Ohio, but who can say that his speeches did not havo a groat influence in Kentucky ? In the latter state the issues were local The fight was to beat Gorbsl and the Goebel election law. Bolting Democrats and Republicans both sought to do this. It does not appear that, the bolters oast any where near as many votes as it was expected they would. Was not this because of the appeals Mr. Bryan made to Democrats to stand by the regular ticket ? It is highly probable that it was. It is by no means certain that the question as to what shall bo done with the Philippines will be a groat issue in the national cam paign next year. The war in the Philippines may be ended before that campaign is begun and that question may be settled by Con gress within the next six months. The issues which will be presented in the Democratic platform may not be those Mr. Bryan discussed so energetically and eloquently in Nebraska. The situation may un dergo such changes as to eliminate some of them. Of Mr. Bryan’s popularity there can be no doubt. There is no more popular man in the Demo cratic party. If a platform is made next year on which he can consistently stand, it is safe to say that he will be the nominee of his party. At this time the out look is that Mr. Bryan and Mr. McKinley will lead their respective parties in the coming contest. The Times may think that Mr. Bryan’s “political death-knell was sound ed” on Tuesday, but unless we are greatly mistaken the leaders of the Democratic party do not think so.—Savannah News.

The most recent proposal in the development of Africa is a rail way across the desert of Sahara extending from Algeries to the Niger river. The plan is under discussion by engineers of the French government, who have in their possession data obtained on preliminary surveys. The pro jected route of tho railway is from Biskara in Algera to Tugurt and Wargla, and then running due south over the desert and the Tim mo mountains to the group of oa ses at Air or Agades. The line here would divide, one branch ex tending to Lake Tichad in a south easterly direction, while the other would run southwest to the Upper Niger valley, which is French ter ritory. There would be about 1,250 miles of railway to be con structed in the desert, and the ex pense is estimated at $60,000,000, as there aro neither trees nor water on the arid plains.
