scant Courtesy shown the south.

Scent Courtesy shown the South.
The southern cities which made extensive
preparations for receiving and entertaining
the delegates to the pan-American congress
were greatly disappointed doubtless at the
decision of the delegates not to accept their
Inequalities. The most of the delegates
must have known several weeks before the
adjournment of the congress that they
would not be able to visit the South, and as
they knew that preparations were being
made for their entertainment, it would have
been an act of courtesy to those
who expected to entertain them to
have announced that their plans would not
permit them to make tour of the south
In all the southern cities included in the
programme of the tour considerable time
and money were spent in making arrange
ments for the pleasure of their expected
guests. It was the intention to mako the
southern tour an ENJOYABLE one in every
respect, and it is certain that the delegates
would not have been disappointed.
The excuse given for abandoning the
tour, while it is satisfactory, doubtless, to
the delegates is not satisfactory to those
who were devising ways and means to give
them pleasure. They said that they were
tired of the country and wanted to get
home. They were conscious of that feeling
doubtless, when the southern tour was de-
cided upon, and it would have been an easy
matter then to have consulted together and
expressed a wish that no further prepara-
tions for their entertainment should be
made.
However, there is not SO much reason to
find fault with them as there is with Mr..
Blaine, because they were not aware prob
ably that in the southern cities they were
expected to visit no efforts would be spared
to give them hearty welcome. But Mr..
Blaine must have known that if there was
| any doubt about the tour being made it was
but fair to the southern cities that the fact
should have been announced at once.
1t is worthy of notice that the trip through
the north and west was taken when the
delegates were fresh from their homes. and
were eager to see the country The south
was given the cold shoulder. 1t was thought
that it would be time enough to visit the
south after the congress had adjourned.
Mr.. Blaine, if he thought about
the matter at all, must have
been pretty well satisfied that after the
delegates got through with the business
which called them together they would be
anxious to get back to their homes as soon
as possible. 1t is said that Mr. Blaine is
very sorry that the southern trip came to
such sudden termination. 1t may be that
he was, but it is pretty certain that he was
responsible to very great degree for its

Facts About Feet.

Girls between the ages of 16 and 49," says a
fashionable shoemaker in the Chicago Journal
have often enormous feet, and the flesh is fat
and inf1amed, but at g. years these enlarge
ments entirely subside, the muscles ana ten0ons
and all the flesh parts of the foot become
firmer. the shape of the foot has decreased, and
in every way difference is seen. Snoemakers
have much difficulty with young ladies at tnis
age. as they take large a snoe as an adult
woman. When they get older and their feet
settle, and new shoes are made on the old last,
they complain of them being too large. Tx
plantations have to be made when shoes Tor the

Cotron Stalk Ra4gi,r.

4 dispatch IN the MORNING NEWS yes
/ ter5ay from Augusta stated that William
E jackson, lawyer of that city, had sue
oeeded in pe-fecting machine for making
/ bsgging from cotton stalks It also stated
that the bagglng. as a covering for cotton,
was in every respect equal 10 jute bagging.
Ii IS sincerely 70 be hoped that this infor-
nation IS correct in every particular. ead
that cotton stalk bagging can Be made 50
cheaply that it viii take the place Of both
cotton and jute bsgging IS q covering for
cotton.
1t has long bsen known that the cotton
stalk contained a strong fiber, and the
suggestion that it should be utilized has
been made frequently. The difficulty in the
way Of acting upon the suggestion, how
ever, has been the impossibiiity of separat-
ing the fiber from other parts Of the stalk at a
cost that would permit Of its being used for
commercial purposes. II Lawyer jackson
has removed this difficulty he has done
something that viii bring him tame and
wealth much sooner than be could reason
ably expect to obtain them from his pro
fession of the law
Il would not be wise, however, TO conclude
that the next cotton crop, or the one sue
ceeding it, or, in fact, any cotton crop, is
going to be covered with cotton stalk bag
ging, until good deal more is known about
Lawyer Jackson's machine than is known at
present, notwithstanding the assertion that
cotton circles in Augusta are jubilantn over
it We hope Augustus cotton circles have
good reason to be jubilant. and that Lawyer
Jackson's machine will be even a greater
triumph of mechanical genius than it is
alleged 10 be, but it must not be forgotten
that it has not been very long since
half a dozen or more jute machines
we're thrust upon the attention of the
public with the information that they would
make the cultivation of jute in the south
extremely profitable. It is unnecessary to
inquire whether or not those machines did
what it was claimed they would. 1t is suffi-
Gent to say that nobody in the south, or
anywhere else in this country, is raising
jute as q crop.
1t may be, however, that Lawyer Jack
son has a really valuable invention. If he
has, he can easily get all the capital that
would be necessary to build factories enough
TO supply all the cotton s:alk bagging
needed in the south. His factories, of COURSE
would have to be pretty close to the cotton
fields, because he could not afford to pay
more than 81 ton for the stalks 1t is
evident that they could not bear transpor-
tation for long distance. In fact, the farm
ers would not find much profit in gathering
them at the price named. Before discuss
ing the cost of the raw material, however,
it would be we'll to wait for more definite
information about Lawyer Jackson's ma
chine. 1t might not be necessary to discuss
the question of the cost Of raw material at
all

Strengthen the Association.

1t viii be very generally admitted that
the Citizens Sanitary Association has rem
dered excellent service since it has been in
existence. 1t has kept close watch upon
those things which, if neglected, would
tend to injure the health of the city, and it
has supervised closely the fruits, meats and
vegetables offered for sale in the markets.
There is no doubt that the watchfulness of
the association has had the effect of making
the authorities more careful in the dis
charge Of those of their duties which relate
TO the public health.
1t is matter of the highest Importance
that the health of the city should be kept
good. That can be done only by seeing
that the articles for food offered in the
markets are wholesome, and that the city
is kept clean. and drained wherever drain
age is needed. II the people are satisfied
that the Citizens Sanitary Association has
been Of service. and is likely to continue to
be, they ought to help to sustain it. Its
revenue depends upon its membership, and
the membership fee is small AS many citi-
zens should join the association as could
afford TO do so. The more money the as
ISOLATION has the more good it will be able
TODD.
Summer is close at hand, and it is neces-
sary that the city should be put into good
sanitary condition. The work that the
association expects to do is to point out
danger spots and suggest the remedies
which will render them harmless 1t will
work in harmony with the city authorities,
assisting them in whatever way it can.

About year ago Secretary Window de-
cided that imported woolens and worsteds
should pay the same duties. This ruling
was made in response to the interpretatiohs
placed upon the law by the worsted maa-
ufacturers of Philadelphia, New York and
New England The importers paid the
duties demanded under protest, and they
have just gained verdict from the circuit
court at New York, which sustains their
protest, and directs the government to pay
back the sums paid by these importers in
excess Of the legal duties. The manufact.
urers have waited upon Mr.. Mckinley and
other members Of the ways and means COM
mittee, asking for a joint resolution sus-
pending the operation of the decision.
