Of course, such sentiment was calculated to and did cause a p1i.tc, and the town suffered in consequence. Then, added 10 this, cams the strikes, etc., and it really looked as though the Magic City was case; she lived through the crisis, and is, today the most prosperous city in the sta e. if not in the south Why is th.s trua? What enabled her to withstand the tremendous strain of combined ad- versities? Nothing but her manufac ur ing interests. If she had depended solely on agricultural products her f11s would have been sealed, but when she could sell foreign markets ard distribute 'he money among her home people then she was in a position to cop@ with adversity and compete with the world. As sine stands today, we. see manufactories of all kinds in .ae'bive operation and in process of erection. She has a powder mill, cotton sed mill, stove works foundres, packing houses, ice fdcseries, cotton factories and numberless other enterprises, which we cann0s at the moment name.
 On every hand there is evidence of thrift and confidence which arise from the knowledge of the fact that she is the seller and rot. the buysr always. This is the key to the problem in the scuth We must stop buying all the time. Let us get to manufacturing, anything, ey- eirythiLg, no matter how small in fact -ths4 small enterprises are more valuable than large ones, because large ones are mainly owned by foreign capital and the profits are.s sdisbursed away from homo, whilst that of small ones are kept among sus.-ea

So they are not made vicious by the commission of crime, but were villains before they committed it.

hardened criminals If the people Of this state could see the tears of sorrow and hear the wall that goes up from these boys when tn awake to their awful con- di.dan in convict's garb, it would stir the heart of the most hardened human being and move an angel to tears. Il must rejoice every one to know that hand has besn raised stre .ched out to these ''brethren in stripes" and a voice has been raised in their behalf. IL is the voice and hand of the good women of our stat; like Banquo's ghost, it will noa down. until the state shall awake to a true sense of her duty to these erring children and shall recall them to life and usefulness.
 It is a rsfDrmatory we need, end pressing need it is. The honor and dig nifty of she sta,e Is involved. It is diftl- cult to appreciate the dense indifference of the legislature to this deep necessity. |, behooves every one in the state wLo feels an interest in this important mat ter to take council together and ofgantze in order 10 secure uni ed and harmonious action in the accomplishment Of thie good purpose. Th facts should be laid before the public with a vifw to influence pub lie sentiment. 1t should be broughz to bear upon those who shape our legisla- ,tlon that it may receive the attention 1t merits.
 The excuse ordinarily offered for the neglect of this imperative duty is the want of revenue to carry out such works of humanity. It is a short-sighted policy that spends thousands to keep its erim- inals employed and will not spend dol lar, to stop the manufacture of the crirn- inal class It is matter of grea re- ioiehag that the literary and cultured ladies of our state have laid their hands and hearts to this noble task. When it shall be accomplished, it shall be said of 1t as 1t was said of the act of the wo- man who poured out the spikenard of precious ointment upon the feet of the Master: And the house was filled with the odor of it'

HEW TO THE LINE.

The editor of the Russell Register can see as deep into the mill rock as the reXt one, and his ideas on the intent and pur- poses of the bolters who are preaching harmony are very near correct. It is not harmony sc much these bolters are after as hominy, and when they find they can net get thsfr head in the trough the.r party patriotism will follow their leader into inecuous desuetude, which inter- preted means to fish and drink while the country starves:
 The money issue doesn't belong in state politics. Let's elect a good governor, regardless of his financial views .-Falk- vile Chronicle
 That's the way to talk it. brother. The Herald is with you. and Gsn. Harrison is the man.-Dadeville Herald.
 The utterance of the Dadeville Herald is characteristic of the goli bugs. Thsy stand as a solid wall thoroughly united and with single purpose to elect one of their way Of thirking. The uttfranca of the Dadeville Herald is the response to be had from almost everyore or them. The money issue has nothing to do with state and county politics, hut it is hard to find one of them who favnrs fires silver man for any office. They do not op- pose the silver men because they are sl- ver men. but for some other cause al ways. TOT do they favor gold man be- cause he favers a gold standard, but for some other reason, and still the line is drawn by them and drawn distinctly. Such being the case thsre is no alterna- tivs left to the silver men but to hew to the line and let the gold bugs take what they can get Such has bsen the treat merit administered to the silver m n. ard the PDld men cf eourss would not ob ject to dose of their own medicine.

VARIETIES.

The season of sports has come and In all save the most violent Wonfaflland Is a participant and in skill frequ ntly proves a Formidable rival to her br0sher. In the tennis court and upon -he golf links her gowns f1utter and strike a charming color note. On the yacht she frequently takes the helm and looks as smaat and trim as any sailor in her dress uniform. LAS yachtswoman she Is Tor the most part clad in. white and when colors appear in her gown it is usually 1n the form of decoration. There are whiTe stuffs galors suited 70 this use. as there are innumeraible textiles especially adapted 10 the attire of the golf or ennis player and cyclist.
 Linen collars and cuffs are made with battlz mems, points or marrow turnover portions in several sections, all alike sma-t.
 A trio of shoulder friIls triples over mousquetaire sleeves with frillA at the back of ahe arm.
 Most sleevss without cuffs are hnished in Venetian style.
 Box plaits are made at the top of the sleeves in the new coats.
 The puff Is draped in a leg-o'-mutton mousquetaire sleeve.
 
 The handkerchief girdle' has a series of upright shirrings, the ends hanging in jabots.
 The Japanese tea gown, with its long, flowing sleeves and wrinlSled sash, re- calls the dignified looking kimono.
 Wave lines, points, scrolls and bow knots are seen in all kinds of trimmings Modistes take their cue from these de- signs and frequently dispose of bands in these outlines upon midsummer gowns. Extravagance is still the rule in deeora- ton and the trimmings are as light as the textiles they adorn. Jets arg appli- cable to grenadines, silks and various dressy woolen fabrics.
 More and more interesting grow the color studies in millinery. Seemingly impossible hues and tones are T'asso- ciated upon hats to create a harmonious whole but these daring color bla ndings sound worse than they look. An instance is furnished in the union of blue and pur- pie, the former showing purpltsh tinge which makes accord possible. Reds in tha most glowing tones are reconciled to purple, but there is a suspicion of red in the latter. Truly the millinen has turned palmer.
 FsShion has again veered around to laces, which for a time were supplanted by tissues. Tulle and chiffon now divide favor with the point dfA1encon.
