votes cast in the entire state. More than
f5o. 1000 voters failed 10 commit themselves
They were too Wary TO ally themselves ct
that time with the Rcadiustcr party, and
vet anxious enough to have the public debt
settled to induce them to remain Mt homo,
aud await further Developments. In 1880,
without fighting halt such battle IS that
Of 1879, we brought out over 2ll,OOO yotes.
What, thea? Why, We conclude that
speaking, and writing, and barbecues, ana
all the appliances OF the hastings, cannot
induce men 10 vote who feel That they have
no sufficient reason for deciding as between
ono policy aud another; whilst, on the
other hand, they need no urging when
they themselves feel that the issues in
volyed in an election arc important ana
thai e Is their duty to take their stand with
the friends OF good government.
In 1880 there were $4,000 more votes cast
than in 1879. In 1881 there viii be moro
votes cast than in 1880 II our assumption
be wen founded that The voters realize
inc unprecedented magnitude Of the IN
fcrests that are at stake in ili' election.
There ought 20 be 100000 votes cast under
the circumstances. The tate OF The national
Democratic party is to be decided 10y
the ballots which will be east in Vir-
GINA on the day after tomorrow.
The good name OF the state is in
yolycd. The complexion Of both houses
Oh line Congress Of 1928 will depend
upon The results Of our election. Surely
then. there will be a full vote ont, and
surely we may claim that full vots means
the success Of the Democratic ticket. The
confident tone OF the Mahoneites indicates
nothing except that they are placing them
selves exactly in the same attitude in which
they found themselves Just one year ago.

PICKED ~ THE BOIL, spun, DYED, AND
MADE UP BETWEEN SUNRISE AND SUNSET
At an early hour the cotton was picked
from patch on the grounds belonging to
Mr.. ID. L. Sloan, OF NOrcrOss. The cotton
was OF the variety known as the Ozior silk
cotton, and was pronounced rs fine short
staple as was ever seen in this country.
At 7 O'Clock it was ginned in twinking
and at once started upon the journey which
was TO end so quickly and in such an aston
ishingly changed appearance for the cot
ton. The ginning OF the entire lot re-
0uired less than twenty minutes. IL
was then taken at once TO the
picker, where it spent half an hour. The
crowd that was watching the process
Of manufacture had grown to considerable
proportions, and rs the cotton passed from
machine to machine the enthusiasm was in
tense. After leaving the picker, the cotton
went to the cards These beautiful and re-
markedly perfect pieces OF mechanism were
watched with the greatest admiration. In
hall an hour it left the slubbcr, and in
thirty minutes more il was being spun
into the filling. lntweEty minutes more It
was going TO the loom. As the Compton
loom. which was the one in use, started
with IFS energetic chatter there was enthu-
siasm enough to give a r0using three
cheers. The material for the vest be-
gan TO make its appearance ut 8 O'Clock
and that for the coat and pants emerged
an hour later. The cloth came through
rapidly, and at 1920 the first piece OF goods
for the suits was taken to Thomas's dye
house, and in twenty-Seyen minutes had
been dyed, dried, and was ready for the
tailors. At 12:J5 the cotton that less than
six hours before was hanging upon tho
stalk was handed to the tailor to be cut out
The sewing was done at the Wheeler 4
Wilson exhibit. At G:05 the suits were
completed, and at O'Clock Governor Bige
low was encaSed in one, receiyinga delcga
ton from the Atlanta University ut thu
residence OF Dmecter-General kimball
while Governor Colquitt, at the Executive
Mansion, was admiring the first walnut
picker coat that had ever fallen TO his por
tion.-Atldntd (Gd.) Constitution.
