sHIPsIDE PRICES AT MACON.

Il is evident that the Macon cotton mill
managers are satisfied that cotton Will
not be any lower this season than it Is
now-that. in fact. it will he higher. As
stated in our dispatches they have given
orders 10 buy a fun seasons stock at ship
side prices. They will be fortunate If they
get all they want at prices which are
now prevailing al the ports.
At 10 time since the beginning Of the
season have shrewd observers among cot
ton men believed that the cotton crop Of
this season would be as large as that Of
last season. Reports from this state and
che Carolinas have not been of an encour-
aging character, while those from the
Southwest have not justified expectations
of an average yield.
Against the prospect of a smaller crop
than that of last year Is the certainty of
a greater demand for cotton goods. In
all parts of this country the cotton mills
are running on fun time, and they are
not able to keep up with their orders.
This shows that times are better, and that
consequently che demand for cotton goods
is greater. With greater demand and

son for thinking that the price of cotton
will go higher.
There has been a very considerable ad-
vance in the price within the last few
days. How much higher it will go it is
impossible of course to predict With any
degree of certainty. The indications are
such, however, that the cotton growers
could hardly make a mistake by holding
their cotton for a while. If business
throughout the country continues to be as
prosperous as It is a present the price OF
cotton is bound to go higher, even if later
It should develop that the crop is larger
than it is now supposed TO be. The in
creased demand is bound to affect the price
favorably. In good times the demand for
cotton goods is larger of course than 1t is
in times of depression. People have more
money to spend and some of the surplus
helps 20 increase the demand for cotton
goods. 1t would be a great thing for the
South If middling cotton should sell at
seven cents by the first of October If
considerable rise is to come il is to be
hoped it will come before all of the cotton
gets out Of the hands of the growers. A
rise of a cent a pound would make a diff
ference of many millions of dollars TO the
South

THE RACE PROBLEM DISCUSSED.

Ex-senator NJ. C. Butler of South Caro-
lima, in answer to questions of a New
York man, has been glvin. his views of
the race question in the South. He is
of the opinion that the government ought
to take hold of the question at once and
undertake its solution. 1t ought he
thinks adopt the plan that President Lin
coin had in view, namely, secure terri
tory for them in Central or South Amer
lea or elsewhere, help them to emigrate
to it, and assist them in establishing a
country of their own. In his opinion there
is no future for them in this country. The
prejudice against them is too great II
is prejudice that Christianity has failed
to overcome, and which civilization will
not succeed in overcoming. 1t exists not
only against the negro, but also against
the Chinaman and all other colored races
If the negro remains in this country he
will, in Senator Buffers opinion, have to
be subordinate to the white race or he
will eventually be eXterminated.
The views of Senator Butler are SINH
lar TO those held by some of the ablest
of the negroes. But the question is, where
is there land to which the negroes .could
be sent, assuming that the sending of so
many people to distant land is practi-
cable? 1t is certain that no Central or
South American country would receive
them, and Africa is being rapidly occupied
by the white man. Senator Butler ought
to name the land that is open TO millions
of negro emisrants. Has he the Philip
pines in mind? II is doubtful if the nc
groes of this country could find a resting
place there.

Dogs are making sad havoc among the

hill. Seven of them we're dead or dying,
and more than 80 others had been bitten,
many of them so badly as to necessitate
killing them. The legs of the sheep in
many cases were broken. When found
they laid in one corner piled up upon each
other and presented a sad spectacle. The
dog was shot while still there at his work.
The dog fund has been increasing in this
town for some years, but it will now be
drawn upon heavily, since large number

An Honest Artist.
He Would Not Paint Lie Even For
Napoleon.

He wouId Not Paint n Lie Even For
Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin,
Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians
called "Plon Plon. The prince used to
make abusive speeches against the en-
peror, which people were only too ready
to repeat to him. LET him alone,
Louis Napoleon would reply. "He is
too well known. No one would turn me
out to place him on the throne.
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about "Plon Plon.
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady, who
in her young days mingled with French
society, tells in her "Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes" story as discred-
table to Prince Napoleon as it is hon
orable to a French artist
While the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle of the
Alma, which tle emperor had ordered
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known to b i'm the facts
On leaving he said he wished the prom
inent figure in the battle to be himself
mounted on his white charger. He sent
the horse to the artist SO that he could
paint its exact portrait. When the pic
ture was finished and invitations were
sent out for a ''private view." the
white charger was seen, prominent
figure in the battle but without a rider
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest artist said the
horse should remain if the prince wish
ed, but no rider would be on it. "Tell
the prince l have never yet painted a
lie y The hint was taken. The prince
ordered the horse to be rubbed out.
