JUST so!

The GeorRiana (Ala.) Guardian, COM
menting on the building Of a cotton mill
at their thriving little city, says in Its last
issue:
I'VE have two railroads. The Alaba-
ma-FlUrida Is now In process OF construc-
.tion and going In the direction OF st An
drews BAY, which Is presumably the OBJ
jective point. and with deep water at st.
Andrews Bay and the completion OF the
Nicaragua canal will give us fine ship
ping facilities for our goods to China with
her 375.OO0. 900 or 400, 900 900 people to clothe
Quite a quantity Of the products OF the
southern mills are now being shipped to
China. The l.. & N. railroad will give us
rates on our goods and coal to supply the
mill. We have beautiful climate, good
water and cheap lands, but we need cot
ton mills every few miles along the rail-
roads to make our fair southland "blos-
som as the rose" and to give employment
to our surplus population, and men, wom-
on and children who are now destitute
will have comfortable homes and lucra-
tive employment.
We hope the above may be speed ly
fulfilled.

THEN AND NOW.

It was only two years ago last March
that Grover Cleveland left the presidency.
William Mckinley succeeded him.
The two men are In essential respects
not only different but almost antipodal.
Their policies and administrations,
therefore, stand IN striking contrast to
TO each other In many respects.
A glance at the expense Of the govern
ment during the last year Of the last
Cleveland administration and the esti-
mated expenditures under the present
year Of the Mckinley administration is
interesting, II not pleasant.
