The demands of the religion of China require the emperor to fast sixty-four days in each year. A man in Philadelphia named Button, refers to h.s half dozen children as “the six Button kids.” The Methodist preachers are all getting settled down in their new homes in tills neck of the moral vineyard. Andri w Carnegie has paid s9oo* 000 for-a plot of ground in New York, upon which he wdl erect a $1,000,000 house In taking home the dust of Columbus the Dons may want ♦o emphasize that they are giv ing Cuba the dead shake. The Washington Post says that owing to the activity of the criminal courts the United States senate is constantly in danger of being deprived of a quorum. One of the fust acts of the Flour Trust will be to cut down the price of wheat in this coun try ;in other words, to make harder the conditions of living in the United States. Gen. Garcia’s last words were: “The victory is ours; there are only four hundred of them left.” The general was evidently fight ing over the battles of the recent war, in bis delirium. If Mr. Dingley doesn’t show up at the end of the holidays with an automatic closing de vice for that open door, he will be unworthy of his mission as drum major of the protection ists . The W ashihgton Post thinks that silver coinage if not dead is at least a discarded issue, and that the democratic party will come together in 1900 upon the common plane of opposition to colonial expansion.

Capitalists are beginning to lay new emphasis upon the south as a field for investment, per ceiving the opportunities afford ed by ihe contiguity of its ports and supplies of raw materials to the new fields opened to trade by the acquisition of Porto Rico and the occupation of Cuba. The strides made by that fa-- vored section in the industry of’ spinning and weaving cotton are ' being quicaened. North Carolina in ISB6 had 80 cotton mills, running 199,433 spindles. Tiiis year it has 1,010 cotton mil’s, which turn 1,044,385 spindles. Georgia has shown a marked ■ increase in her plants for making , cotton cloths. Texas, Mississip pi, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina have all madei good starts in the establishment of cotton mills. It is beyond question that the South is today the most promis ing iron district in the world. Alabama, East Tennessee and North Georgia are adding to their manufactures of iron continually and their blast fur naces and coke ovens are grow ing steadily in number and ca pacity . Steel making has proven so successful at Bessemer and Mid. dlesborough that two new steel plants have begun building at Birmingham The average ex port <?’ pig iron from that town s now 1 1)0 tons per day. N< w in.itioads are being built and u d oa s extended; crops are being diversified ; fruit culture, cattle, sheep, horse and fowl raising aro being promoted ; oil wells are being bored: lumber mi Is are being increased; cotton seed oil mills, furniture factories and other industries are spring ing up in several of the southern states;and a general air of prog ress is noted oyer the greater portion of their area. The south is not merely looking up in a business way; she is forging rapidly to th* front in the race for agricultural and industrial supremacy. James R. Keene estimates that the country is one billion dollars and a half richer than it was four years ago. The Haver hill Evening Gazette wants to know who got the stuff, and says mighty little of it has drift ed in that direction. One of the Spanish peace commissioners says, concerning | the Philippines: “America does | not know the difficult responsi-; bililies she is undertaking." The difference between American government may remove most of the knotty points American women will oppose tiie < ffort of Brigham Roberts to ' take his seat in congress as &■ re| reaantative from Utah. They' probably feel that a man with a plurality of wives cannot retain th* sarsnity pf mind necetsgry to lawmaking. | SIX BALES OF COTTON ON.j ONE ACRE.

He has been selling potatoes here in Rockmart at ore dollar per bush el. Mr. Vinson has solved the prob lem of farming in the a >uth aid of growing four cent cotton at a profit.

' THE PRESIDENT AND THE NE WSBOY. “He’s a better Democrat than Grover Cleveland,” says the Irish policeman, who had just removed his elbow from my side, referring to the Presi dent as he drove by in the re cent Peace Ju /ilee at Chicago. “Yes,” says I ; “he is that .” “ j’ow to fight,” says my neighbor. “Yes,” says I. “4nd a hard man to whip,” says Country Kerry. “He is.” “And he don’t lock like a man who’s give away them is lands Dewey found, either.” No man’s guess was worth mo.e than another’s on this point. “He’s fond of children,” says Duggan. “Yes,” saj s I. “Yes,” says Duggan, “I see him over on Congress street be fore the parade started. He was sitting in his carriage, next the walk. A guard of soldier* stood round the carriage. People were crowding up to shake hands with him. If they looked like they had a bank roll the soldiers let them pass If not, not. A gang of newsbiys stood in a bunch ' near the horses. They looked at ■ the Pns dent with bigeyes. Fi nally one of them thinks he’ll cmne over closer. A soldier pushes him back, The Presi dent sees it, and motions for the boys to come on.
