Prosperity will never come to

calamity howlers saying great
deal about prosperity, and that
there is no prospect of anything
better than we now have, don't
youy yes. Well just look ut that
man Standing over there on the
corner. He has been tai king about
tie great red dragon, and the com
bined efforts of capital, and the
grinding ag aggregation of monopo-
lies for 10! th,Nse many years, and
only yesterday he was asked to
take an interest in an enterprise
which would bring prosperity not
only TO himself, but TO seventeen
other equally poverty stricken gen.
e.emen Of leisure. No, son, when
YOU hear these loud laouttlej in
dividuals talking about hard times

The country is fast going to ruin,

moving along as though there WAS
Il fire some where in town, yoN

lake up the first thing that comes
along, squeeze the juice out Of ii,
aud make something out of the
JUICE. Ioaters never prosper,
never see anything good in an en-
terprise, never see any prosperity,
in fact, and when the time comes
for them to go thence, they will
begin to question the angel of
death if there are any soft snaps
over there. if prosperity roigns
there to those who never put their

Frederick N. Innes, who is to
play one of the largest engagements
at the Tennessee Centennial Expo
sltion, Is recognized as one of the
greatest band masters in the world.
For years he occupied the field
alone as the greatest of all from
bonlsts. Usually, his band is COM
posed of fifty musicians, but the
number may be varied from that
TO sixty-five, according TO the
character of the piece. When one
considers that the United States
pays its musicians in the army the
same as common soldiers, the
charge Of about $4,000 week for
an engagement Of lines Band, or
Sousa's Band looks exorbitant.
But, army musicians, like the mu-
slcians of some crossroads mill
tary band, play for what they can
get. Musicians for the great con.
cert bands have to be selected from
The multitude and they get what
they ask. 1t is not unusual for the
Soloist in such organizations TO
get Sl50 a week, and the average
wages of the other instrumentalists
IS sS day. lnnes and his famous
bend have been engaged for the
months of June and July at the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition
and they are expected to cause a
sensation there. A concert band
like lnnes' is one of the costliest
organizations on the road. 1t is
remarkable that Innes manages to
travel constantly with pecuniary
success, when large opera compa-
Mes and extravaganzas have tried
to do so repeatedly, and failed.
Presumably the long engagements
Of such bands at expositions,
where they play to the millions, is
what maintains their average earn

Our Norna.s.

Prot. J. W. Kuykendall opened
the Normal School on the 14th
inst, for the benefit of the white
teachers of this county. The
teachers are proud of the selection
made by Prof. Jordan. and are
showing a commendable interest
in the exercises. The advantages
of such training as they are re-
.ceiying cannot be overestima,ed,
and the loss TO those who miss this
training of four weeks will be
irreparable. The trustees of the
Crowley Ridge Institute and
friends of education generally, are
respectively invited TO attend these
exercises and witness the character
of the work done.
Prof. Henry Avant has charge
of the colored Normal. He has
the reputation of being one of the
best teachers in the State. He
also is doing good work. The
teachers are attentive and studious,
and some of them show great pro-
ficiency in the various studies upon
which they are being drilled.
There has been up to this date
thirty-six whites and seventy COL
ored teachers enrolled. Many are
unavoidably absent, while others
not approaching the benefits de-
rived from such training, are in.
excusably absent, and will have to
be re-examined before they can
teach in any of the public schools.

The Times sincerely hopes that
the new court house to be erected
here, will be built according to the
original plans and specifications
no cutting off tow er here, clock
there, etc, etc., as has always been
the case in every public building
erected in the county, simply to
save a few paltry dollars, and alb
solutely running the beauty and
symmetry of the structure, and
keeping us forty years behind the
times. For the credit Of this gen.
Grafton, do let US have ore real
modern building, with all conven-
fences, and all the extras. A 500
600 building costs each of us some
thing over a dollar, and there's an
end TO it. A cheap building costs,
and keeps on costing forever, and
there is no satisfaction about it.

Below is the report of the cotton
crop for the month of May, taken
from the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture:
The extent of the proposed
breadth already planted on the LIST
day Of May was Sl.9, against $40
per cent last year and SS3 per
cent usually planted at this date.
In the northern part of the cotton
belt planting has been greatly re-
tardcd by the late season and
heavy rains. This is less the case
toward the guilt, while in Texas
planting is further advanced this
year than usual.
The returns OF correspond nts in
relation 10 contemplated acreage,
as compared with the acreage last
year, which are simply indicative
of correspondents views as TO the
intention Of planters in respect Of
area to be planted, indicate an in
crease along the whole line, but one
State, relatively unlmportant, fur
nished an exception, the highest
individual figures being found in
Texas and the Territories adjoin-
ing it.
Much of the early cotton was
killed by the frosts, making re-
planting necessary, and damage by
cutwCrms and cotton lice is report

Is the Nation Overcrowded.

Som cone has recently suggested
that tire cause of our national de-
preston lies in the overcrowded
condition of the country. Is it
possible that any Sane person in
the Unit ed States can accept such
theory
In ord err to show its utter falsity,
let us for moment inquire into
the population of some of the lead
ing co untries of Europe. Ger
many, fo.c example, sustains 233
persons to the square mile; France,
500; Engl and, sos, and Belgium,
$50. While the population of
these val.ious countries is, of
course, extremely dense, there is
not so much poverty and destitu-
ton among the people as might be
supposed; and surely if these
European countries with their
limited an d meager resources can
support such vast populations,
ought this country to complain of
beng overorowded?
Within. our national borders
there are s. 100000 square miles of
territory, including Alaska, and
yet our population, according to
the latest estimates, is barely more
than 72.000.000. This is equiva-
lent to only twenty-four persons
to the square mile. How does
such ratio compare with $50 peo-
pie to the square mile in Belgium
and sos to the square mile in Eng
land? Neither of these countries
can boast of anything like the nat
ural wealth which belongs to the
United States, and yet they are
| classed among the richest and most
prosperous nations on the globe.
/, Such, indeed, is the vast extent
, of our national territory that the
worlds entire population, estimat-
/ ing it as l,5OO,OOO,OOO, could be
gathered within the limits of the
| United States and still the density
of our population would be less to
the squire mile than it is in either
England or Belgium.
Is it not then absurd, in the light
OF these figures, to say that the
country is overcrowded? Besides
its vast area, extending through
numerous degrees of latitude and
longitude, it should be remembered
that no other country on the globe
can boast of such climatic and
| natural advantages as the United
States. Our soil literally teens
with mineral and vegetable pro.
ducts, while our forests within its
ample belt contains every variety
of game and timber. Not only are
the resources Of this country suffi-
ciont for its own support, but for
the nourishment of the entire
| globe; and the statement that our
national condition at this time is
due 10 the fact that we are over
crowded is simply and amusingly
absurd. We do not care, of course,
for pauper and illiterate immi-
grants, but tor the better class of
immigrants there is plenty of room
on this side of tho water.-Atlanta
