THE HOOPSKiRT CRUSADE.

The powers that decree and reg ulate
the STYLES in feminine apparel have
threatened the country with an early re-
turn of the hoopskirt nuisance, and no
matter with what eluanimity the edict
NAV have been received on the other side
of the water it has undoubtedly created
CONSERVATION in this country. Only the
other day the Minnesota Legislature,
deeming the matter of sufficient gravity
80 warrant legislative interference, enter
tanned and discussed DILL to prohibit
the introduction of the airy garment in
to that state upon any conditions. Dur
ing last week the question was also
brought up in the Alabama legislature
by the introduction of the following bill:
Whereas, knowledge having been COM
municated to us through the usual chan-
mel that Madame Fashion has decreed
that the garment formerly worn by our
ancestors of the Elizabethlan period, ana
commonly designated as the h0opsklrt,
shall be worn again by the gentler sex IN
this wear of our Lord, 1898, therefore,
SGCJIOu J.
eral Asse nbly of Alabama that plenarY
power is delegated TO the mayors and
councilmen of the various cities and
towns of this state to cause the sidewalks
of said towns and cities to be made sew
enteen feet wide, in order that young
man and his best girl may be able to
walk side by side on said sidewalks.
1t is not likely that this ancient and
effete fashion will be able to 'un the
gauntlet of public criticism, and, even if
it should, we have too much confidence
in the good taste and judgm MT Of our
southern women toIbeheve that they will
adopt it. The crinOline nay serve to
symmetrize the angularities AT our more
ocadaverous sisters of the north, and may
attain brief popularity in that LATITUDE,
but it is utterlp useless in the south.

"Some of the cotton mills in South
Carolina earned as high as AZ per cent.
on their investments last year, and all IN
all it was the most prosperous year IN
the history of cotton manufacturing IN
that state"
The above, from the Augusta Evening
News, clearly dem )nstrates that there IS
money in manufacturing the staple near
the fields where it is grown. What has
been done in South Carolina can be done
in Georgia, can be done in Southwest
Georgia, can be done in Dawson. The
south's great staple should be manufact-
ured in the south. Cotton mills, II
properly run and managed, will pay
any where in the south. This has been
demonstrated time and again. We hope
vet to hear the whirr OF cotton spindles
in Dawson

SOMEBODY OUGHT 70 SUFFER.

Time and again have the negroes Of
ahe South Atlantic states been lured
from their ODD homes and carried to the
west, or to Africa, under the delusive
promise of big wages and great prosper
Ity. In every single instance they have
been bitterly, cruelty deceived. And yet
they continue to submit themselves as
willing dupes to avaricious, soulless EN-
Igrant agents, whose only object is to
rob their victims of their hard-earned
dollars and then leave them among
strangers homeless and penniless. Near
4y every week we see the announcement
shat a train loa led with negroes has left
some town in Georgia or Alabama bound
for the west or for Africa, and it is safe
TO say that in ten years not one of these
-gleluded people will be alive.
The stranding of car load of these
emigrants in Brunswick calls forth the
following timely remarks from the At
1anta Herald:
There are now in Brunswick two or
three hundred negroes from Arkansas
who ale trying TO get to Africa.
1t seems, according to reports, that
two negroes who pretended to be preach
qers, induced these people to leave their
homes and start to the dark continent.
1t was a craze much like that which has
broken out in Atlanta two or three times.
OF course no provision has been made
for transporting the emf rants across the
ocean, and they are now helpless and
stranded in Brunswick, and will be
burden upon the people Of that city.
1t seems to us that the perpetrators Of
this infamous piece Of business should
be made to suffer, and that some steps
should be taken to prevent similar oc-
Currence ia the future.
We cannot understand why men charg-
ed with the execution of the law permit
such paipable swindles to come to
bead. If the police of the various cities,
vino are so quick to arr est petty thieves
and Migrants, would devote the same en-
ergy TO breaking up the African craze
Swindlers they would serve the public
welfare.
It Is very easy matter for man to

TUESDAY was Valentine Day, and quite
a number of missives passed through the
mail. Some of these were very pretty,
containing sentiments of genuine friend
ship or love, tenderly and, in some cases,
POLITICALLY expressed, but most OF them
were of the comi3 order, profusely illus
trated. A few were insulting and even
cruel. Valentine Day is an occasion for
jolly good humor, and for the interchange
Of pleasures, or messages of love and
admiration, all the more interesting be-
cause of the mystery which surrounds
them, and any one who will use such an
occasion to convey an insult or brutal
personality is either coward or fool
often both.

UNDERNEATH the placid, unobtrusive
manner of Mayor Baldwin is healthy
streak of genuine enterprise. He has
been heard to refer the need of an cleo
trio plant in Dawson more than once, and
you need not be surprised at any time to
h sar that he is at the head of an enter
prise to furnish the city with electric
lights He is a man of few words, always
careful and methodical, but when he de-
cdes to do thing something tangible
always comes of it. The Mayor is also
known to favor a cotton factory here If
he would take the lead in this matter
spindles would soon be humming in
Dawson.

ORDINARY RoDERrs is ever keenly alive
t, the best lnter SITS of the county and
people, and is always studying up some
thing for their benefit. The judge has
become an enthusiast upon the impor-
tant matter of good public roads, and is
using his best endeavors to have
the roads of this county put in the very
best condition. He is going to have the
roa / commissioners put half mile O.
every road leading into Dawson IN hfst-
class condition, and thus illustrate to the
people the difference between good and
bad roads. He hopes by that means to
get the people interested in good high
ways. Good roads are worth a great
deal to any community, and if Judge
Roberts succeeds in getting the people
interested in this matter he will build
for himself monument that will las
as long as time.

The farmers of Terrell county are in
better condition than they were year
ago, This is proven conclusively by the
decrease in the number of mortgages
that have been recorded in the clerk of
the superior courts Office as compared
to similar date in 1892. Clerk Dozier
tells us that up to the 18th OF February,
1892, 446 mortgages had been
recorded in his office, while up
to the same date this year only
$40 had been put on record, dit
ference of 100 mortgages. The farmers
of the county have more home supplies
than heretofore, and are in better all
round condition than they have been in
number of years. They are gradually
reaching that independence and seif-re-
lance which should characterize every
tiller of the soil. By the way, Clerk D )zier
is making a model oficer-always cour-
teous and accomm odating, and efficient
in the discharge of his duties. He is
rnoying along like veteran in the clerks
office.

The Republican County Ticket nom
mated at Bowling Green last Tuesday
is clean cut, fairly nominated, and
regular in all respects. Perfect har-
mony prevailed in the convention and
it is believed that all differences were
settled there, as they should be, and
that the Republicans will unite in
their efforts to elect the entire ticket.
The JOURNAL has this week devoted
considerable space to the proceedings Of
the Convention, and will therefore wait
until the next issue before making spec
ial mention OF the candidates, and even
then we will not attempt to give BIZ
ogrlphy OF each, nor viii We cover each
with talfy in order TO make him pal
atable dose For the people to swallow,
but shall state in plain terms just what
we know 20 be true Of each, and then
let the people before whom these can
didates must appear, judge for them
selves The material composing the
Wood County Republican Ticket. The
delegates pressed the button and the
people will do the rest.
