the tides go out, leaving them On the

Why are they bowling and

you are buying your groceries

B. &. West, secretary of the cot
ton bureau of the Nationa, Farmers
Alliance, has issued an address to
the order advising the reduction of
acreage in cotton planting. He
holds that the southern states pro-
duce SIS per cent of the cotton grown
and 80 per cent Oh the staple adapt>
able for use in this country. He all
so holds that cotton mills in the
south are desirable but unattainabDe,
this not being manufacturing coun-
try. The salvation of the southern
farmer is in the Investigation of
crops and Giving at home," instead
of depending upon the pork packers
of the north for their food. He
points ont, in support of his argu-
ment, that the reduction OF the crop
this season resulted in marked in
crease in the prices, and insist that
the cotton planters can secure fair
prices every season by keeping the
production within reasonable bounds.

ton mills are now manufacturing
practically every fabric that is made
out of cotton. Commencing few
years ago with plain bleachings,
they now make over hundred diff
ferent classes OF goods, with every
conceivable pattern that casrom err
may want. The newest product is
probably the cottonades for the
South American trade, and they are
certainly very handsome. The de-
mand for all of their products is
good, and the management is feeling
in very cheerful humor. Mr.. Ram
dali, the cotton mill architect, was
also seen yesterday and stated that
more cotton mills are now being
built and contemplated in the South
than in any one year before. He
has a mill to be completed in Ala
bama soon and is now figuring on
three new mills Of $4,000 spIndles
each, one in New Orleans, one in
Texas and the third in Tennessee,
the aggregate cost of which is over
100000, A new mill is also be~
ing quietly talked of in Georgia that
will have $4,000 spiudles and be de-
voted to the manufacture of print
goods.

A Cordial Welcome Awaits Him to
the Gem City.

Rev. Sam P. Jones, of Gainesville,

in the southeast part of town. The
house was built about three years
ago by Mr.. Erwin Maxwell, of Cinr
cinnat;, Ohio. 1t contains nine
rooms in the new parts two story
high, with all the modern conven-
fences, gas and water, closets, &C.,
and is elegantly finished. The old
dwelling adjoining contains five
rooms. There is beautiful grassy
lawn in front and on the sides, the
place being on an eminence affords
splendid view of the town, Kenne-
saw mountain and the surrounding
country. There is a wind mill,
barns, tenement house, about sixty
acres OF land, a fine orchard, vines
yard, asparagus bed, and good water.
The place ig one of the most desir-
able in the city. The consideration

that this distinguished evangelist
and family will make Marietta their
home, and most cordial welcome
awaits them.

We cannot hear it, we cannot see
it, we cannot feel it, and yet time
moves right along by us continually,
slipping behind us with noiseless
tread. We move on and on toward
eternity, scarcely stopping in our
mad rush to accumulate the things
OF time to think that very soon time
will have slipped entirely from us,
grasping as she slips away all that
We have accumulated of hers and
and carrying it. with her. And SO
at last we must step off the shore of
time into the broad, interminable
sea of eternity withholding. Only
few weeks ago Jay Gould counted
his earthly possessions by millions.
They we're not his in fact, they be-
longed to time. In a moment time
left him, slipped behind him, drop
ping him into eternity, but she held
to what was hers and he carried
nothing With him" ont upon the un-
known sea. And so, through all the
ages, men have labored and strug>
gled, risked health, happiness and
life itself, to gather to themselves
The things which belong to time and
which must of necessity pass from
them when time has passed. -Cuth-

Let the teachers bear in mind the
ideal teacher and aim at and strive
for it. Once it was enough to know
geography, arithmetic and grammar,
but today that is not enough. Teach,
ing is both a science and an art !;
both must be studied and mastered
as well as the geography.
The era Of educational reform has
dawned. The schools, so long the
examining place for some useful and
much useless knowledge, are begins
ing to be placed wherein latent fac>
ulties are to be developed and where
children are to be raised to the full
stature of "a noble manhood or wo
manhood.
We're it not for the adverse criti-
cisms of the cause of study and on
the methods employed which the
child hears at home, all might be
we'll and the good work 60 rapidly
forward, But parents who are
drilled in the "three RS" at the end
of the hickory, boast of the hard
times they had to get an education,
and educated they are. But the
children of today who have had the
superior advantages of the new edu-
dalton are much further advanced
and far more intelligent than their
parents were at the same age.
Education is something more than
''book learning" and since this is
true, the old methods of obtaining
it will not do. There are faculties
of perception, conception, reason
ing, end the like, to be developed
as we'll as memory. The child must
be trained to frame original thought
and Tot depend on books, books,
books. He should see a little of
nature first hand, and not alone

TWELVE CONVICTS
TunHelled Out of the Dade Coal Mines
at Night.
HOW THEY ACCOMPLISHED 1T.
One Of the Most Shrewdly Planned Es.
capes Ever Known.


night, and one hundred dollars re-
ward is offered for each. The men
who escaped are Seaborn Lands
dewne, who was serving.a lie SEM
tence from Pickens county; James
Landsberg, serving life sentence
for rape, from Savannah; George
Delk from Atlanta w. HI. Horton,
the bridge burner, on the Central
railroad; H. G. Houston, from
Brunswick ;; J. B. Gaines from Floyd
county :; John Moore, from Atlanta,
Mike J. Freeman and Jim Richard
son, all white, and two negroes,
Richard Wade and John Powell.
They did not escape from the
stockade but from the mines. What
is more they effected their escape by
tunneling fully 100 feet through
earth and stone, connecting the
shaft in which they were working
with that of an abandoned mine.
The tunneling, which was big
and laborious task, was done by one
man, and he worked night and day
to accomplish it. The day Patrol
Driver Russell took George Lewis,
the negro convict he captured at the
East Tennessee Manufacturing Com
pany's works, to Cole City, one of
the convicts at the mines was miss
ing. This was two weeks ago. The
zebras had been at work on the out
side of the mines during the day
and it was thought that the missing
man had given them the slip. A
thorough search was made of the
surrounding country but no trace OF
the convict, who was known as Joe
Black, could befound. He was put
down as ESCAPED" and q reward
was offered for his capture. But
Black had not escaped. He had
slipped into the mine and secreted
himself, and while the guards were
securing the woods for him he was
working on the tunnel which, when
completed, would not only liberate
himself but eleven of his fellow
prisoners.
The gang was known as the "long
term squad" and were worked apart
from the other conVicts and more
closely guarded.
During the first night that Black
was in the mines be turned into the
side of the main shaft far enough to
hide himself. Then leaving a small
opening for ventilation, he kept
busily at work. The loose earth
was carried out with the refuse
from the mine, and occasioned no
suspicion among tie guards station
ed at the entrance. For food he
had only such scraps as his fellow
convicts could secrete about their
persons and carry from the stockade
to him. His lamp wass supplied
with oil by taking little from each
Of the lamps used by his fellow con-
victs. After two weeks of hard
labor and many privations his tun-
mel, which was just large enough to
admit the body Of a man, reached
the abandoned shaft. He commun.
icated the result of his labor to his
comrades. They had only to wait
until no guards were in the mine to
make the break for liberty. This
soon came, and dropping their tools
one by one they passed though the
tunnel into the shaft, awaited the
coming of darkness and stepped out
under the clear, cold skies twelve
free men, and twelve as dangerous
criminals as were ever turned loose
upon community.
