THE OUTLOOK.

We go to press to-day in the very
best spirits. The prospect before US
is encouraging. Perhaps it has been
brighter in the past, but it is certain
ly good now. Our people seem we'll
bent on moving forward. Few, if
any, stand still or appear to look
back, although there are some who
could do great deal if they would.
Public sentiment has healthful
tone. Crops are promising. They
are two or three weeks late, and in
some kinds of soil were injured by
too much rain. But we expect to
gather in this section good average
yield. A good number of our people
are busily engaged in building new
houses, many are improving old ones.
The interest in good schools is steady,
reliable and growing. The churches
are reported as prosperous. We re-
peat, the prospect before US is en-
couraging. We feel the effects in
our blood. 1t is good for all. Let
all take courage and unite to ad-
vance the front line.

SELF HELP.

Despite all that philosophers or
cranks may write, every man has to
help himself. The Creator so or
dained and there can be no exemp-
ton. But it is wise to pay heed to
the way of best caring tor ones self.
What is commonly called selfshmess
is not that way. 1t is full of dangers
to the best part of a man, grows
rougher as it lengthens. 1t comes to
be very nervous route and the
traveller has lew companions or
friends when he reaches the end of
it. 1t is lonesome. Selfshness de-
feats itself.
True self help consists in the re-
cOgnitiOn of others and studying the
general good as it includes that of
each. No man can neglect others
and take good care Of himself. We
are all tied up in a bundle.

SNUBBING EDITORS.

The rights and privileges of repor-
tiers have recently been discussed in
the courts and elsewhere. The Bos-
ton Herald advises the public not to
snub the reporter, whereupon the
Detroit Free Press remarked: "The
reporter is not apt to be snubbed.
Very few can afford to snub him.
Refers downfall was said to be due
to the fact that he snubbed reporters,
and it is claimed that Union Cen
eral who had a great career before
him lost all chance of tame by insult
ing newspaper man, whereupon the
rest agreed never to mention that
Generals name in their reports, and
so the unfortunate man dropped out

BIRMINGHAM BOOMING

Over $500, 600 worth OF real estate
in Birmingham, Ala, changed hands
in one day recently.-Augustd News.
Mr.. James Hook, of Birmingham,
was in Marietta Sunday last and he
said to us it was surprising at the
amount of real estate changing hands
there. lie said on one OF the
prominent avenues there, Mr.. Bod
die recently paid $4,000 for 80 feet
front of a lot-a price equal to New
York city. lie says he has known
men to pay 81. 600 tor lot and re-
fuse ST, tor it before night. lie
spoke of gentleman who made Sl5,-
600 profit in one transaction in the
sale of some lots. He was acquaint-
ed with laborer who boughta piece
of ground on the monthly install
ment plan, cut it up into lots and
sold them off at II profit of $4,000.
One man who came to Birmingham,
comparatively poor, began to specu-
late in real estate and is now reputed
to be worth 100000. There is a
good deal in the locality of the lots,
but any of it is saleable. Birming-
ham, Chattanooga, and Columbus,
Ca, are the cities with a bright flu
ture before them.

CUTTINGS CASE.

Mr.. Cutting suddenly sprang be-
fore the eyes OF the civilized world.
Reports say his good name has not
always been jealousy preserved.
But the name of Cutting has become
historic. The student of information
al law will read about his case-his
arrest, trial, conviction and release.
What the American student will find
that will render him jubilant over
the conduct of his government in the
affair we cannot now point out. MIR.
Secretary Bayard may be able to tell
him. We doubt it. As we see the
matter, special Envoy Sedgewick,
and the whole transaction, we are
tempted to advise that the case be
relegated to ''innocuous desuetude. :"

A SERIOUS CHARGE

Mr.. g. W. Mohon, of Edwardsville. Ala
arrived in our city last Friday morning and
had sheriff Coryel to arrest Mr.. Frank
king, a wellknown citizen and Insurance
agent, on the charge of stealing horse.
This news shocked and surprised our citi.
zen Mr.. Mohon says that his horse was
taken from hitchng post in Edwardsville,
Ala. on the 18th of July last and that Mr.
King who was in that place on business
trip hunting minerals rode the horse tina /
day a. lar ns Mr.. g. +. Lindsey's in Har
Alison county, Ga, where he stayed all
night and snapped the horse to Mr. Lind
sey tor mule. When he departed next
morning, he left his umbrella with his name
omit. At Draketown he sold the mule for
$40. Mr. Mohon traced the matter until
he found that Mr.. King lived in Marietta.
He wrote TO Mr. W. P. Stephens, Of this
place, who informed him that Mr.. King was
at home, and Mr., Mohon arrived Friday
morning and had Mr.. King placed in jail.
Mr.. King unreservedly admits that he
took the horse but says he was under the in.
tuence Of whisky and hardly knew what he
was doing. We learn that he is an opium
eater and his friends for some time have
thought that his mind was not well-baanced
owing to this habit. This unfortunate in.
discretion is deeply regretted, and nothing
but sympathy is expressed by our people
for his most estimable family Mr. King
and relatives succeeded in adjusting the
matter on Monday to the satisfaction of Mr.
Mohon who dismissed the warrant and Mr..
Hing was released.
