pear that there is something abnorm al

with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain g Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact. l sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way OF getting sup
plies to the front. There were no road 8
that a wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in q supply of this medicine for

saved life

PREJUDICE AGAINST HOME THINGS.

We copy and give prominence to the
following editorial from the Charleston
| Is. CO News and Courier, because il
states facts that are as true of Virginia
as of Georgia and South Carolina, and
because the article fits in with what we
say in to-day's leader about Richmond's
opportunity:
The Hon. Pope Brown, the president of
the State Agricultural Society, in his adj
dress before the society on Wednesday.
! said: I'VE have an innate prejudice
! against anything MADE at home" He
| referred, of course, to the people of
Georgia. There is much truth in the
| statement. Why is it that our people
! prefer to buy things made elsewhere than
at home? Is 1t because they can get bet
ter articles by buying elsewhere. or get
what they buy at a lower price? We
hardly think so. The only reason we can
think Of is that under the old regime
that is, in the days when the attention
OF the people was devoted almost wholly
to the growing Of cotton, corn. and
wheat-they purchased about all the
clothing, machinery, tools, implements.
and food articles they did not produce.
outside of the State. and they haven't
got out OF the practice yet Of doing so.
They haven't found out apparently that
most of the articles they purchase in the
markets of other States can be duplicated
at less cost in the market of their State.
1t is a fact, however that our people
are apt to think that articles which come
from outside of their State are better than
those made in the State. Does a similar
prejudice exist among the people of other
States? 1t probably does. 1t is a fact
that tens of thousands of the people of
this country think that silks which are
made in Europe are superior TO those
made in this country The truth is. no
better silks are made in the world than
those manufactured in our own land. but
shopkeepers often have TO offer them as
foreign silks in order TO sell them
Mr.. Brown says that Georgia Is being
impoverished by going abroad for things |
which can be produced at home. That is
putting the case strongly, and yet there |
is no doubt that Georgia isn't making the |
progress she would II her people should |
make greater efforts to develop her re- |
sources and supply their needs from |
what she can produce than they do she |
Is gradually correcting this mistake how |
ever. and that she is doing so is due |
largely TO the intelligent efforts of such |
citizens as Hon. Pope Brown.

GIVE THEN ROPE.

One Of the contentious OF the Imperial
lists is that this country has reached tho
limit OF its growth within its present
boundaries, and. therefore. must graf
outside possessions like the Philippines
for the accommodation of surplus popu-
lation and az fields for the display OF
surplus energy.
The absolute absurdIty of this conten-
ton is manifest when we recall that the
population Of England and Wales ave-
RACES z9S TO the square mile; OF France,
1ss to the square mile; Of Germany. go
to the square mile. and Of the Neither
lands, 4o6 to the square mile, while that
OF the United States averages only about
q to the square mile. About all the
surplus population that would go to the
Philippines would be "swarms of officers
to harass the people and eat out their
substance"
Another contention OF the Imperialists
is that the Philippines would, afford a
good place for the investment OF surplus
American capital. But in this connection
memory suggests that a few months ago
the papers that are now so wild for ex-
pansion were about unanimous In the
opinion that we had too little capital, and
that an inflow would be great blessing.
These papers day after day rung the
changes on the necessity of restoring con-
fdence in order that the capital frighten-
ed away prior to the panic Of 1898. might
be drawn hack Now fOrsOoth they have
discovered that we are oyerburdened
with capital.
The truth is. that the more the differ
ent standpoints from which the Impe-
rialists seek to bolster up their cause.
the worse it becomes for them and the
better for the other SIDE Indeed, the
case seems to be largely a matter of
allowing them enough rope and quietly
awaiting their self-execution.
