If it were not for the hot weather to
make people miserable and base ball to
make them happy,we do not know what
would become Of us. But between these
contending centrifugal and centripetal
forces, we manage to hold our own. As to
money, we live more upon the memories
of the olden time, than the shaded hopes
of the future. AsCol. Pass says, "Blessed
is he that hath nothing, for he will not
be robbed while he sleeps; while the
man who works industriously and hons
estly for it, cannot keep it when he gets
it." Such is life, however, and our only
consolation is that we are threading the
paths our fathers trod," with some vari-
atoms of excessive smartness on the one
side and goodness on the other; and
when simmered down to its original ele-
ments we find human nature where it
was when Cain and Abel fell out about a
precious little lamb.

Miss Cleveland's book on temperance,
prohibition and woman's rights, sepa~
rately or collectively,is having demand
unprecedented, both in London and New
York, 1t is not SO much to know what
Miss Cleveland, per Sc, has to say, but
what the Presidents sister-the lady Of
the White House-can get off, Without
the fortuitous fact OF her accidental posi-.
ton, her book would not have received
any more attention than hundreds Of
other old maids at the North, who live
by writing OF the woes OF woman and
the infdelity of man.

Confederate Cotton.
The Macon(Ga. Telegraph and Messep.

The Macon( GA. )Telegraph and Messen.
ger talks as follows OF the vexatious cot
-on question, which vii be difficult to
adjust in equity to original owners:
Immediately subsequent to the surrens
der agents of tho Treasury Department
were sentSonth to seize cotton belonging
to the Confederate Government. In fact
the Confederate Government had very
little cotton subject to seizure but these
agents seized all the cotton they could lay
their hands upon. Much of it they sold
and appropriated to their own purposes,
some was sold in New York city and at
other points and the proceeds thereof
were turned into the United States Treas
ury, where it still remains. The amount
runs into the millions. The Supreme
Court has decided that the Government
has no claim npon this money, but that
it rightfully belongs to those who were
robbed of it. An effort i. going to be
made to recover it. Many, perhaps most
of the original claimants are dead, but
any amount that should be recovered
should 60 to their hiers and representa-
tives. The proposition is to ask Congress
to pass bill allowing all claimants upon
the fund to go before the Court of Claims
and prove their claims, just as claimants
under the French spoliation bill are now
permitted to do This is no war claim,
The war was over, when many of the
Southern people were despoiled OF the
little cotton which they had saved from
the wreck. The highest tribunal Of the
land has declared that it did not belong
to the Government. 1t is the duty of the
Government then to ascertain to whom
it does righttully belong and to make the
restitution. 1t may be matter Of impor>
tance for those interested to give the
matter,immediate attention.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg ILL.,
says: "Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, feel it my duty
to let suffering humanity know it. Have
had a running sore on my leg for eight
years, doctors told me l would have to

I used instead three bottles Electric Bit

No matter what unfriendly critics
NAV say as to the merits of Gen. Grant as
soldier, as a leader of organized armies
his fame is fixed and his name will 60
down to coming generations with the
iustrious military chieftains of ancient
and modern times. Fortunately he has
lived long enough to prove that he was
not the cold blooded stole in war, if such
term is admissible, but man of gener.
GUS sympathies and noble purposes. As
one proof Of this it is said by corres>
pondent at Mt. McGregor that General
Grant upon receiving from an ex>Con-
ederate officer on the End of July, lets
Ter dated at Rock Bath, Virginia, ,couched
| in tenderest expressions Of kindness, was
touched to tears, and we reckon that it
did him more good than the eloquent
morning prayers of DR.. Newman, who
preached recently a ten thousand dollar
ermon on young Stanford OF California,
whose character for philosophy, said the
preacher, equaled Plato's, and whose vir.
tues rivaled Christs. The letter of which
we speak was from an enemy that fought
him bravely and openly upon the field
Of battle and surrendered to him in good
faith under the laws of war, and now
closes up his relations to Gen. Grant in
this his dying struggle with the magna-
nimity Of the hero, the courage Of the
soldier and the sublime forgetfulness of
the christian. 1t is no wonder that the
eyes Of the great old captain were suffu.
sed with tears to read such genuine sen,
timents from one whose daring prowess
lie had felt in the shock of battle, which
would have gladly crushed him at one
time, and his army. That is manhood,
heroic courage and religion beautifully
blended. To those who would abuse
Gen. Grant in this his hour of extremity
we would say, 90 and do likewise, for the
man that can do it is not far from the
Of Christ on the mount, when
he preached that sublime doctrine, Glove
your enemies"

DR.. Cages Position.

We take pleasure in reproducing in
another column an article from the GRE
NADIA SENTINEL that explains fully DR.
Cages position in reference to his can.
| didacy for State Superintendent of Edu'
cation. We can readily understand how
repugnant it would be to any Democrat
of Dr., Cages high standard to enter a
race where his claims were to be judged
and passed upon by persons to whom the
principles of Democracy are q secondary
considerationland who would.if necessary
split the party into dozen factions if by
so doing they could gain the ascendancy
and enforce their own circumscribed and
biased views, While, of course we cam
not predict exactly what action the State
convention will take with regard to the
the prohibitionists. we feel free to say
that if the advocates OF that movement
from this vicinity have their way
the democratic party may go to the dogs
if they can only gain their ends there
from. That this spirit actuates them is
shown in the open war they are making
upon several candidates in this county
who do not agree with them, yet whose
Democracy will stand any test. We hope
and trust that the State convention will
act decisively in the matter; it is an issue
that admits Of no temporizing or evasion
and one which seriously threatens the au-
tonomy of the party.
DR.. Cages position may be briefly
summed up as follows: If Democratic
precedents are carried out and the claims
Of the several candidates judged by q
true party standard he may be considers
ed in the race. If issues entirely foreign
and antagonistic to Democracy are rec
oenized and accepted in the convention
he declines to submit his name to such
a censorship. He is right, and we sim
cerely regret that we haven't more of
that same kind of sterling, old>fashionsd
and pure Democracy here in Lowndes.
When the prohibitionists are openly and
boldlytrying to force their doctrines into
politics, to the serious detriment of the
party that has been our safeguard and
salvation for years past, it is high time
that all true aud consistent Democrats
wether candidates or not, should rise up
and, emulating the example Of DR., Gage,
refuse to tolerate or countenance such
