The Standard Oil Company was organized in 1870 w ith one million dollars capital. In April 1900 it distributed a quarterly dividend in cash of twenty-three million dollars, which represents an annu al profit of about ninety-two mil lion dollars; the annual dividend cannot possibly fall under sixty millions. The promoter and prin cipal owner is John D. Rockefeller, the billionaire. The public has come to kuow this trust magnate as the richest of the rich. The vast extent of his wealth is only recently coming to light. Rocke feller owns individually thirty-oue milliou dollars of the Standard Oil Company. Since Jan. 1900 Rockefeller has drawn dividends aggregating twelve million four hundred thousand dollars. This, however, is only a small portion of the amount to which Mr. Rock efeller is entitled by reason of the earnings of the Standard Oil Co. The company owns only 61 per oent. of its many subsidary com panies; Rockefeller owns the other 49 per cent. His total income, therefore, from all sources allied with the Standard Oil Co. has been since Jan. 1, 1900, twenty four million dollars. The Compa ny has distributed to its stock holders dividends amounting to two hundred and fifty million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars since 1882, and this year Rockefeller’s dividends from all sources is estimated at seventy five million dollars, and according to this Mr. Rockefeller's income represents the interest on one and one-half billion dollars at 8 per cent. Here is a list of millionaires: Croesus, sixteen million. Duke of Westminster, seventy-five million. Astor, one hundred and fifty mil liou. Baron deßotchild, two hun dred million. Wm. Rockefeller, two hundred million. Carnegie, three hundred million. John Beib, diamond king, one billion. John D. Rockefeller, two billion, And also some annual incomes: Queen Victoria, one million nine hundred and twenty-five thousand. The German Emperor, two mil lion eight hundred and fifty-two thousand. Emperor of Austria, three million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand. Andrew Carnegie,twenty-four million eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand. John D. Rockefeller, seventy-five million. So if we are to estimate a man's riches by his revenues, Rockefeller is worth, all told, near two billion dollars, and as his dividends are reinvested and compounded,should he live ten years longer he will be a multi-billionaire, and what next? Please answer. J. Gould, with his seventy-two million, astouuded the world. Rockefeller’s yearly income is greater than Gould’s lifetime accumulations. Li Hung Chang was thought to be the rich est man in the world, but his wealth is only estimated at about a half billion. So long as Rock efeller’s monopoly is let alone his exploiting power is equal to the gathering of interest on two billion dollars. A fortune of two billion dollars! Who can comprehend it? It is more than the total annual imports and exports of the United States put together. It is more than five times the assessed valuAl of all the real estate in tje city of PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.

It is more than the estimated value of all the farming lands iu the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland all put together. It has been taught that riches for some means poverty for many. The rich man's income does uot ■grow spontaeously or drop from the sky. It is said that it is ex torted from the people who pro duce it. Thus it is that monstrous riches for the few means moo stroue poverty for the mauy. How great now is the tribute the Amer- i icau people pay to this man I He retires at 10:80 and rises at 7. Every morning when he gets i up he is $72,768 richer than when he went to bed. i He orders his servant to boil an egg three minutes, and while it is cookiug his revenue is $425, Every time he draws his breath he draws S4B from the people. He sits down to breakfast, and in the half hour spent at the table his wealth increases $4,280. He being a pious man, presum ably he has family prayer. Each time at this service the agents of his monopoly are preying upon the people to the extent of more than S2OOO. On the Sabbath he goes to church aud sings “Eearer, My God, to Thee,” and iu the two hours he is $17,122 is added to his fortune. Rockefeller ioves the ring of the violiu; his nightly amusement is playing the fiddle. While thus en gaged millions are burning his oil. So in the evening when he takes up his instrument he is $200,000 richer than when he took it the night before. To appease his conscience, he simply resolves to endow a univer sity. To do this he raises the price of oil one cent a gallon, a gallon, thereby extorting, as is said, from the people more than five million. Of this he bestows oue million upon charity, and thanks God he is not as other men are, while he pockets the oth er four million. Who endowed the University with a million ? All the people using oil did it. Who gets the praise and honor ? Rockefeller' A. J. W. A WONDERFUL CURE OF DIARRHOEA.

Bryan Sov.d a Panic. Cliicaoo, Sept. B. —By a trite little jok" •wrung with u cool but effective dcolnmii ion, William J. Bryun arrested a st impede of fran tic men Bnd women in the speakers stand at Electric Park, preventing a panic. The Nebraskan had just fought his way through the crowd and had taken his place in front of the erators’ platform when the over crowded floor of the small stand creaked and began to waver. A section of the worn floor gave way, women shrieking in terror and men trying to jump over the rail ing upon the heads of the packed throng at the rear of the stand. “Hello," laughed Mr. Bryan turning a smiling face upon the scared people. “This cannot be a 1 Democratic platform. There are no bad plaukß in that. Come, now, stand still, won’t you? If you stand together where you are you will be all right. If you stampede the thing will fall on you.” And be laughed as if it was an every day occurrence. His sols-assurance had a quieting effect upon the crowd When the dustcleared away it was found that a few people had been pre cipita.ed into the chamber under the stand but uone were seriously injured. Planter Does Deceive a Premium, In an article printed in southern papers and paid for by the com press interest, the statement is made that the American Cotton Company “has paid both the plant er aud the spinner houses” to ex tend the use of the roundlap bale. This reluctant admission by the compressmen that the use of the roundlap bale is profitable to plant ers aud spinners is not an exact statement of fact. The planter does receive a premium for his oot ton in roundlap bales, not as a bo nus, but because his cotton in those bales is worth more to any buyer than in any other package, in like manner, the spinner’s profit from the use of roundlap bales from the economies they enable him to make The farmer cares little who pays the premium which his roundlap bales command. What interests him is that they bring him more money and with his profit in his pocket he is not deceived by the misrepresentation of men who, while affecting tender solioitude for his welfare, have only their own selfish purposes to serve. Reflections Of A Bachelor. Right after you have kissed a girl she tells to stop with her mouth all puckerd up No man would be much surprised if all the women would begin to purr when they felt comfortable. When a man has found his ideal woman he ought to kill her and have her stuffed before he gets over it. Women are a lot like a turkey; you could never convince a turkey that it would look better with its head off. The reason why widows are so popular is because they alway look like they knew the men were leading them on. By the time a man has been married two years he has forgot ten how to appreciate married life. QUESTION ANSWERED.

John R Cooper has returned from Monroe, Walton county, Jrhere he was engaged all last week in a murder trial which has attract ed widespread interest because of the prominence of the slayer and the slain. The case was that of the State vs. Seaborn Fambrough who was charged with the murder of Charlie Austin. The state’s counsel, Messrs C.H. Brand, solicitor-general, and Hal Nowell contended that the prisoner was guilty of assassina tion, that Fambrough shot and killed Austin while he was trying to escape from a negro with whom he got into a difficulty in the public road, from whom he had fled into Fambrough's house. The prisoner contended, through his cousel, Messrs. John R. Cooper of Macou, Oscar Brown ofLawrence ville and Arnold & Arnold of Mon roe, Ga., that he was uot guilty of any offence under the law of the land; that he was justifiable iu taking the life of Austin; that he slew the deceased iu defense of his wife and home. The evidence for the prisoner showed that Austin went to Fambrough’s house, two and a half miles from Monroe, on Sunday afternoon and called for him, and Fambrough’s wife met him at the door and told Austin that he could not see her husband as he was lying down taking a nap. Austin persisted and finally cursed Mrs, Fambrough, whereupon the husband, who heard the cursing, shot aud killed Austin. Great interest was taken in the trial, as the parties were well known. The jury remained out all night long aud made a verdict of guilty of voluntary manslaugh ter, and Judge Russel sentenced the prisoner to fifteen years in the penitentiary, stating publicly that the defendant had been ably defen ded, and that he might thank the jury for being so kind to him, that hethought he was guilty of murder, and hence the heavy sentence. Mr. John R. Cooper counsel for the prisoner,at once gave notice of an appeal for a new trial. So the case will go to the Supreme court. —Macou Telegraph. DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

Prayer as a Campaignliever- So far as we know, prayer as a lever in a political campaign is something new in American politics, aud its results will be watched with interest. It is stated that certain ladies of the W. C. T.U are bent on trying the experiment and are determined to unseat Mc- Kinley at the end of his present term if it be possible to do so by this novel method. What they proably do not take into proper account is that for every prayer that goes up for Bryan another will go up for McKiuly, and that the clashing invocations, like con trary air current, may meet and destroy each other before they reach their destination. Be this as it may,the administra tiou certainly shows remarkable nerve in allowing Adjutant-Gen- VOL. VII. NO 47 eral Corbin to follow this alarming announcement with a published defense of the canteen system which is so unpopular with the ladies of the W. C. T. U. General Cobin boldly declares that there is very little drinking of intoxicants or malt liquors id the federal army; that desertions and offenses resulting from druukenuess have materially ' decreased among the eulis'ed men since the introduc tion of the canteen; that the army commanders in favor of it as a . temperanco measure aro iu an overwhelming majority, and that the health and spirits of the men are greatly improved through the agencies put in operation by the post exchanges. Indeed, General Corbin goes so fur as to assert that our soldiers constitute at this time as oompared with the army thirty years ago. or with any community anvwhere in civil life, a model temperance society—“a society,” he adds, ’’whose precepts no less than its example might be follow ed by all people in safety and sobriety.” ; These are daring words because they controvert the well kuow assertion that wherever the dan gerous fluid is openly obtainable (secretly it is get-at-able every where and particularly in the prohibitition state of Maine) the demon of intemperance adds daily to the lißt of his victims. There can be no doubt that this defiance on the part of the administraton will largely increase the number of hostile prayers, and will pro bably do the further damage of leading many persons to suspect that the stiff-necked authorities at Washington are so orthodox as to doubt the efficacy of this new method of campaigning. Though the defense of the canteen system is undeniably forcible, it may be doubted if its publication at this juncture is as timely and politic utterance from an administration source. —Macou Telegraph. THE PRICE or COTTON. The reports received by the Agricultural Departmeut.at Wash ington, and by the various state Commissioners of Agriculture, all go to show that the present cotton crop will not exceed 10,000,000 of bales, and many well informed persons make an estimate of fully one million less. The old crop has about been consumed, and the necessities of the manufacturers will force them into the market aB soou as the season is fully opened, as they must promptly replenish their stocks or shut down, of which there is no probability. While the crop is short in this section, we are confident |hat the farmers will receive more money from the proceeds of it than they did from that of 1899. If the yield for this year has not been undupstimated, cotton should sell fo| about teu oents in this market, and we have confi dence that it will. But whether it is best to,hold it, or sell as ginned, we are not in a position to give advice that is worth anything, and every man must act on his own judgement in that matter. It may be that the staple will sell higher at the opening of the season than later on, as the lateness of the fall has much to do with the yield, and it is possible that high er prices may be reached in De cember, or January. As to when is the best time to sell cotton is a question one man is as apt to give a correot opinion as another, as it is principally guess work anyway. OABTOHIA.
