DEMOCRITUS ON a TOUR.
His Estimate of the Cotton Yield
Around Savannah.

Editor Morning News: Actuated by an
earnest desire to obtain the most reliable
information concerning the true condition
of the cotton crop in this section, 1 deter
mined to do as so many others have done,
and 80 on an extensive tour Of personal
observation; In other words, to see for
myself.
Having, therefore, made preparations for
a prolonged journey and having thought
fully provided myself with 81 to meet
possible expenses, l set forth.
My first course was in the direction of
the town of Thunderbolt; after passing the
thriving towns of Collinsvil,e and Mead
ows, l crossed the Bilbo river, and passed
on by the towns of Avondale and Bona
venture. Nowhere did | see any cotton left
in the fields, and on reaching Thunderb0lt
so great had the dryness been, that l felt
obliged to rest and recuperate before pro-
oeeding farther on my self-imposed task.
From there l made a detour, passing
successfully the towns of Vernon, Bethes-
da, Montgomery and Sand Fly The condi-
ton of things 1 found as before; in fact, I
am positive I did not see as much as
bale in the fields
Nor was there any Improvement to be
noted as l came back by way of South
over. Ten Brock, Jasper Springs and Bat
terry Park. Same old story; no cotton In
the fields.
a marked exception was the extensive
plantation Of Capt. Pat F. Gleason. out on
Abercorn road. Here the cotton had grown
to prodigous height, and the stalks We're
still green and flourishlng. Careful exam
iuation. however, failed to disclose the
presence of any great quantity of fruit.
1t is proper to add that nowhere on my
tour did see any cotton on the Platforms
awaiting shipment The conclusion have
reached is that II the rest of the country
has not done better the crop will not be
over 100000 bales, or at most over $780,
$50. Democritus.

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS.
It's the Man, Not the J0b-There Ar
Possibilities In Everything.

It's the Man., Not the Job-There Are
Possibilities In Everything.
I'VE are forever going to begin work
IN earnest tomorrow" said Mr.. Stay
bolt, land we are never satisfied with
the job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved in it in only a half heart
ed manner, but we are going to work
In dead earnest when we get a job to
suit us.
The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to 1t, will be to us as today is to us
now; we shan't feel any more like
work. And that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
it close at hand. won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
THE truth is that we are dawdlers
and shy Of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and 60 at things.
THE time for us to work Is now, not
tomorrow, and the job for US to collar
is the n we've got. Round that up in
style, do the work completely and thor
Oughly, and you'll be astonished to find
how you'll bring it out and what
chances there are in it. And every
body that knows about your work or
is in any way concerned or affected by
1t, as 1t Is done well or ill, will be de-
lighted to see it well done-everybody
likes to see a job, whatever it is, well
done-and pleased with the doer, and
there's money In it every time.
1T isn't the job that makes success;
it's the man, and don't you forget it,

again without a standard yard OF
length. Sheepsbanks next made a
standard measure, which the English
government adopted, and, SO that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies We're made
OF it. One of these was deposited in
the royal mint. another in the Royal
society, another in the observatory at
Greenwich, and the fourth was i'm
bedded in the walls Of the new house

"The standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are cop

owned by the coast survey. The Unit

also. The delicacy Of its construction
may be gathered by the fact that a
change OF temperature Of ?ne-hun-

been found to produce a sensible eject
