Senoia, Ga. —D. ar Junior: 1 take for tn.v siii.j.’ct "Pleastint People." it is a pleasure to meet people who are pleasant, affable and kind: who do not seek to ex tinguish you with disdain or humiliate you with indifference. People can be over pleasant, a s well as overbearing, but the former is infinitely preferable. Habit lias something to do with a man's bshnvlor, al though disposition is the strongest ele ment when men have contracted habits of pride and insolence that are almost brutal. Money enters into the life of some men and makes them haughty and overbearing, who, lacking it, would have been kind and eons.’lera 'e. Jesus inveighed most strongly against pride and iiaugh tint sspt nd said the publican was justified ratt.er titan the proud pharisee, for all lite lengthy prayers of the latter. lu view of ini’ shortness of life and its many unavoidab.e cares and troubles, we tiling it is a wise tiling to cultivate a pleasant manner toward all. There is in pride an 1 hauteur a. disenno bling of men beyond computation. If pride is not vice, it. can lay little claim to virtue. W hey then be proud and haughty ? Rich or poor, high or low, should shun its nar rowing spirit and b-aru to practice a pleas ant manner, a courteous spirit of kindness toward all whom we may meet in this transitory world SETTLES THE CONTROVERSY.

BONANZA SEEKERS ARE DISAPPOINTED Porto Rico Has Not Proven the El Dorado That Many Were Led to Believe. IT IS A DELIGHTFUL PLACE More People Reside on the Island Than Live in the State of Mas chusetts. Washington, fj"p',etnb»tr IS.— (S|> • ■ al.) Some of those who wont to Porto Rico ex pecting to find it a bonanza land have come back disappointed, but those who ex pected normal things—who remember that the island is small and already thickly populated—are more than pleased with this new acquisition to our national territory. “As a. delightful winter resort, a valu able tropical garden and an important strategic point. " said Mr. <>. I'. Austin, a treasury official, wit” is just back from there, “Porto Rico is a valuable acquisi tion.” Mr. Austin is chief of tiie treasury bureau of statistics, and, naturally, bis visit has resulted in some highly Interest ing figures. “But," continued Mr. Austin, "it must not lie expected that so small an island can me a large factor In supplying the $250,1 NHl,ot<l worth of tropic il productions which tlm people of the I'nlt’ 1 States an nttailv consume, or that it can absorb a. very large percentage of the $',.20n.000 < 0) worth of our annual productions-Smaller in area than tiie state of Connecticut and with a population less than that of the city of Brooklyn, it may not be able to meet the soinewlint extravagant expecta tions which enthusiastic people have found witli reference to it.

Moun tainous from center to < ircumferenee. the I.Otie.OOO people who occupy its 3.7(10 square miles of territory have put ini l”r cultiva tion most of the valuable soli, and while th’-ir methods of culture and transporta tion. are in many cases very primitive, it cannot be expected that the productions of this densely populated and closely cul tivated area, can be largely increased or its consumption greatly multiplied. lite, valleys and coast lands are now well oc cupied witli sugar estates, the area ad joining these is devoted to tobacco, and tiie mountain sides to the very peaks ate occupied by large coffee plantations, with patches of cocoanuts, bananas, plantains, breadfruit, orttnges and other tropical fruits scattered among them. While the 2<>0.000 of its population who live in cities and villages enjoy some of th" conveniences to which our people are accustomed, tiie largo proportion of the rural population is of extremely simple habits in Hie ma'- ter of food, clothing and habitation, and with small earning capacity and a small per capita of a depreciated currency, can not be expected to soon become large con sumers of our products. A little t it' . a ver,’, little Hour, a few bean- and plenty of bananas, plantains, breadfruit and veg etables satisfy their physical necessities: a few yards of cotton cloth for the adults and nothing for the children, meet their principal requirements for clothing, while a few tough boards and a plentiful supply of plantain and palm leaves supply the. material for the humble dwellings through out tiie interior and in many of tbe vil lages. With but about one-fifth of its pop ulation aide to read and write, the knowl edge of Hie outside world ir t-xtremely ti I. and with on y IE > miles of rail road and less than 250 mile:' of good wagon road on the island, the means of inter communication are not such as to enable a prompt stimulation of iis production or ’.on-umption. Most of the good rods, and some of th.-m are very tine, tun fr >m town to town along the eonsi. though there is one exception in the military road connecting Ponce, on the south shore, with San Juan, on the north shore Most o' the Interior, however. Is only reached by bridle paths, over which transportation is effect'■, 1 by packs carried on : mall pout’s. In tiie i lties and towns most of th” trans portation is le. bullocks yoked in piimitiV' fashion to two-wheeled carts and urged to their work by a sharp-pointed pole in the hands of a. native driver, who walks In front o’' his team, turning to give them a, vigorous punch when they do no’, follow With sufficient speed.

A sort ot public school system prevails in some of tiie towns and cities, but in Hie interior reading anti writing, except among th” plantation owners and managers, are rare.

They bear on one side tiie Spanish coat of arms and the words "Isla de Puerto Rico.” and on the other tiie face of the boy king and an elaborate inscription in Spanish, l ite largest of those Is the peso, of K»» centavos, corresponding* in appearance with our silver dollars, weighing 355.6 grains, and generally spoken of as it 'dollar.’ There are also smaller silver coins of 5, 10, 20 ami io centavos, the 20 centavo piece being known as the 'peseta,' also copper coms of I and 2 cen tavos. The Spanish government makes no attempt to maintain the standing of these silver coins and they represent little more than their bullion value, tiie banks and merchants gladly exchanging $1.75 in tills coin for $1 in our silver or paper, ami ' x cbanges being sometimes made at. two for one and even higher. The native drivers, boatmen and venders have fli rt atiy learned the superior value of our coins, and a 25 cent piece in United States coin is readily accepted at from 45 to 50 cents in payment for their services. That it will be necessary to take up this fluc tuating coin when our permanent measure of value permeates this island is generally conceded, but just what plan should be a<lo|ited in fixing Hie rate at which obli gations made in Porto Rican coin shall Ito paid in that of the United States Is a matter for statesmen to determine. An other interesting question in this connec tion is whether or not tiie plantation labor which has in the past been satisfied with to fit' tints )>'■:* day in I'.irto Ri’*:ii’ money will !,.> content to accep: 25 to 30 cents per day in our coins in its stead. The silver money coined and sent to the inland by Spain amounted to six million dollars or pesos, and there lias been added about oil” m'liion in money by cert tin of the tiv banks of the island, some of which stands at par witli the silver ami some at dis count. but it is seldom seen in ordinary business transactions. Tiie fact tiiat our own government has just sent in a .ship ment to the island a sum equal in tillite to one-tenth ot the entire currency and tiiat it will be fmmediati ly put into circu lation through its payment to tiie troops scattered over the island furnishes a sug gestion as to the probable increase of the currency and increased disparity in value. Investments in Porto Rico. Much interest is already being evinced by people from the United States in t'he matter of investments in Porto Rico and on this subject there is a variety of opin ions. t'offee plantations arc first consid < I’ d. a- they have a r ",’iit.ation of having paid front 1> to 25 per cent profit annually upon their cost.

The wes'.’-rn p> * of the island is considered the best for coffee ar.d pro times Him e,.bl,rated 'Cafe Car acolilla.’ which is all sent to Europe at the export price of 32 cents per pound in Porto Rican money. Sugar plantations ite considert d next in importance, and are lively higher in price because. ( ,f the mere tx» pensive machinery required, while their attractiveness as investments is reduced by tiie fact that many plantations have of late been abandoned as such and turned into cattle ranges. Tobac co has been w ry protitaole of It.” I’.canse of rhe shortage in t'nh.itt toi,.i *. o for whie.a it has been substituted, though wiiether it will con lopularitj when the Cu- ban article resumes its normal position in the market is uncertain. Tropical fruits have had little attention, clt'her among lo cal ’..xporters or American Investors, but might prove more profitable than the other interests more dis’*usse’l, as they are read', for shipmeiit at a time of th” year when the markets of the United States have not begun receiving the Florida or California fruits. ".As to the increase whidh may be ex pected in the production and consumption of the island, it wII th t>”tid somewhat upon tin* improvements made in harbors, roads, transportation I'aeiiii l'*s. etc., and tiie energy with which tiie Americans may push tie work of il.. <1 *■'■ lopment.

SIZE OF THE BALE REDUCED The Cotton Growers Appear Not To Have Seen Through the Scheme Until the Crop Was Ginned. Montgomery. Ala., September 22.-(S;m Cial.- Some Intelligent cotton producers of this section appear to have discovered , deep-laid scheme on tlm part of the con sumers, the middlemen mid the transport ’ tiou concerns to rob them of a con ; *,<lei:m!o part of the meager profit on their crops If the scheme has worked as well as 1’ i. •understood here to have done the farm, of the south will be losers by >■ asoii it to the extent of some twenty mil.ion o dollars. One of the most extensive and Inte . *.' n* farmers of Lowndes county brought me matter to the attention of Tiie Gon.- r i tio’ii's correspondent on yesterday, scheme was. lie said, worked :tfl**r thi fashion: Some months ago a elf’ ul:tr w”. sent *. the warehouse men, as the agent cotton factors, requesting the ginm'i the country, in the lnter< sts oi 1 ' ducers, to adopt a uni 'orm prt ss b”:-.. o that the bales Would be of one siz* Tm> dlmt n (lons o!

It now develops that the new box holos about 20 per cent less than the old one and that tile new bales are about 20 p r cent smaller th in the old ones, weiglimg. when dry. about 400 pounds instead of ..(D as formerly. The result of this, as far as the produ ■ r Is concerned, is apparent. Tho charge , to: ginning, for packing, for storing, for sei.- Ing. for drayage. for local ra.lroad ra'cs :>r estimated by the bale md ty” by th pound or the hundred pound'. T'!”*-• r.t’’ have contemplated a st»t-pou’id bale, bu while the size of, the bale has been reduc’d 20 per cent, the charges enumerated haw been allowed to remain th” same. This means an additional cost to th- farmer of 20 per cent in marketing his cotton. An Example Given. For Instmiee. take a farmer who raise < 000 pounds of co.ton a year.
