ed and distributed. TO accomplish all
this Is the object of the proposed cotton

The Atlanta Journal, In writing on

have cost less than SIS per spindle fer

THE SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

The situation In South Africa appears
TO be unchanged, except that the Presi-
dent of the Transvaal Republic has
expressed Il willingness to deal lenient-
ly with the English tilibuste rers But
while this Is SO. the Uitlanders are en-
Outraged in the belief that England
proposes TO stand by them in their dis
pute with the Beers, and II really looks
that way, for from all accounts Eng
land Is hurrying troops to Cape Town,
and yet, If Germany comes to the aid
of the Transvaal Republic as the En-
peror declared q few days ago, Eng
land may take IL second sober Thought
before proceeding further. But If 1t
falls to do go, the Republics days are
numbered and Its terrttory will be
wiped out of existence as a separaf
State and added to the British domin-
ions. If, however, Germany stands by
her pledge, and hostillities should fol-
low, n general European war Is predict
ed, for It is not believed that the fignt-
ing between Germany and England
would be confined to South Africa
Great stress Is laid upon the fact that
the English government repudiated the
acti9n CT DR.. Jameson and his follow
ers. And on this subject the Philadel-
phia Ledger says:
AS for the English governments re-
pud1ation or Jame&oniS tiliDusterinS
expedition. that will count for nothing
If the English in the TIunsvaal have
begun fighting. Their government will
not repudiate them. but will help then,
10 rob the Beers of their land in the
manner characteristic of it for ccntu-
ries."
II also adds that everything depends
upon the Willingness of Germany to
aid the Transvaal Republic whether
there Is to be any fighting, and 80 II
seems.

,rIIE RECOGNITION OF cUnA.

1t is said that OF alt the questions be-
fore the Committee on Noreign Affairs
at Washington. the Cuban question Is re
garded the most serious, with the pos
sible exception of the Armenian matter.
Public sentiment in favor of the recoS-
milton OF Cuba Is such that the commit
tee feels that II will not much longer be
able to remain silent on the subject,
and this being the fact It Is not believed
thut many days will elapse before the
question OF the recognition of the Island
will be before Congress.
The Baltimore American says that
II Is even now difficult to control the sem
timent favorable to the Cubans SO as to
permit a careful investigation by the
Foreign Affairs Committee. and some
are OF the impression that the Govern
ment is not moving fast enough in the
matter. 1t is scarcely possible that the
Cubans can capture Havana. To sup
pose so Is to presume that the Spankards
are the vericst cravens on earth. The
flower of the Spanish army is in Cuba
In fact all of it that Is worth anything;
and. making the most eNtravagant al
lowances for the Cuban strength, they
are outnumbered three to one. But
their zeal, courage, ana skill make 1t
evident that they will eventually con-
quer thllr Independence. If, indeed, they
have not substantially done SO already
This appears to be the feeling through
out the country, and when the question
once gets before Congress 1t need not
any surprise If at least belli-
gerent rights are accorded the strug-
Cling patriots, If nothing more and
that, too. In short order

POSSESSES ALL THE REQUIRE.
MESrS OF RAPLD RECUPERA.
TON,

The New York Ledger in speaking
of the condition of the South few
years after the close of the war be-
tween the States, says that Northern
capital was as shy of Southern invest
ments as crow of n fowIng piece, and
that all through the seventies the story
of the South was a story of stagration.
Not a dollar, II says, could be borrow
ed-good will was plentiful, but it
brought nothing and this is true.
This condition of affairs continued
until, as the Ledger expresses II. that
the Southern people made up their
minds to hustle for themselves and show
the world that. despite the ordeais
section OF the country possessed all
the elements of rapid recuperation
Not only did the Southern people show
the world that their section possessed all
the elements Of rapid rccuperation. but
they have demonstrated the fact in the
most pronounced manner
No people under the sun ever com
menced life under such disadvantages
as did the Southern people Immediately
after the close of the late war, and yet
to-day the South Is regarded. and is. the
most promising section of the country
Capital has found safe and profitable
investments in our midst and it is no
longer difficult to secure all the money
needed for the development of South
crn industries. Northern capital in
stead of being shy of Southern invest
ments, is being placed. almost without
reserve, in enterprises in the South and
of Southern origin,and the returns have
been threefold. The work Of recupcra-
ton goes bravely on and in time the
South will be far advanced upon the
high road Of prosperity, while some
other sections will still be in the lag.

And makes n great racletinE noise,

And say, "Ah, those boys will be boys!''

Grandmothcrs sing hymns, very low,
To themselves, rs they rock by the fire,
About heaven and when they shall go
And then boy stopping to think,
Will find Il hot tear in his eye

For srandmothers all have to die.
