COL. w. A. MONTGOMERY
FOR GOVERNOR.

The announcement that Col. w.
a. Montgomery, late commander
OF the Second Mississippi Reei-
ment Of Volunteers, would be a
candidate for governor, has
aroused a great degree of inter-
est here. Col. Montgomery has
a considerable following in the
city and county. As the colonel
Of the Second Mississippi, he en-
deared himself to every soldier in
his command, and these men all
over the State will at once give
him a strong following.
a prominent gentleman said
Monday that a determined effort
would be made to carry this
county for Col. Montgomery
and that every volunteer would
go to work in his behalf. "The
soldiers, said he, "reoognize
in him a courtly and chivalrous
gentleman, fine soldier, a man
endowed with executive ability To
a remarkable degree and an in
telligent and highminded Missis-
sippian, whose administration OF
State affairs would be wise and
patriotic in every respect.
Such man, there can be no
doubt, is needed for our next
governor, and il Col. Montgom-
cry measures up to all these
standards, he will indeed be a
formidable candidate. --Colum-
bus Dispatch.

COTTON VS.. STOCK.

In and adjoining this county
there are number Of people en-
gagged in farming, and in con-
nection they raise some stock and
produce AMI mix things in to-
gether considerably, never for
getting to raise enough cotton to
keep pretty well loaded down
with debt.
AT last a well known horseman
decided to have q stock farm in
the full undeniable meaning of
the term. He will not have any
thing to do with cotton, and he
will hang the man who says cot
ton to him on his place.
In conversation with the gem
tleman referred to, we UNDER
stood that he would have plenty
OF horses. fine breeding stock
and blooded race stock. He has
on hand already a score Of the
very finest Kentucky thorough
breds that money could buy, and
his intention is to get more. The
gentleman, Mr.. Phil Sutton, who
owns large place south Of this
city in the Yokena neighborhood,
will also have stock, such as cat :.
tie, and hogs, and poultry. He
intends TO have stock farm, and
never under any consideration
will he allow his stock farm to be
demoralized with cotton as so
many men have done. This gem
tleman says feelingly that he has
raised cotton for several years
on his place, but he now intends
to have a well-stocked farm with
fine horses and everything which
comes under the head Of stock
raising. We believe that Mr..
Sutson,s idea is the only possible
way to achieve success, and his
determination to stick to one iron
as it were, and let some one else
raise accent cotton, is the solu-
ton of the problem. Our race
track will now have some home
talent, and this alone is a big
step forward. Stock farms are
the thing. You can buy cotton
cheaper than you can raise it. ~

BEN HILL ON LEE.

The following is from Hills
oration in Atlanta on Gen,
Robert +. Lee:
He was foe without hate; a
friend without treachery; a SOL
dier without cruelty; a victor
without oppression, and victim
without murmuring.
He was public officer without
vices; a private citizen without
wrong; q neighbor without re-
proach; a Christian without hy-
pocrisy, and a man without guile
He was Caesar without his am
bition; Frederick without tyran-
ny; Napoleon without his seifiish-
ness, and George Washington
without his reward.
He was obedient to 2sthority
as servant and royal III author
ity as true king.
He was gentle as a woman in
life; modest and pure as virgin
in thought; watchful as a Roman
yestal in duty; submissive to law
as Socrates, and as grand in
battle as Achilles

FOR COOPERATE

The South offers to%fSs
facturer peculiar advas
obtaining his raw materiy
for distributing his manufactures
products over a wide region
Every suggestion from our con-
dition and resources impels us to
believe that the time was never
more propitious than at present
Tor relieving our agricultural
classes by increasing our manu-
featuring interests. Our COM
mcrce must be enlarged and ex-
tended by diversifying our pur-
suits. Less land should be oul-
tiyased and greater yields made
by enriching the soil; less labor
should be employed on tho farms
ana more in the factories. AS
these changes are gradually
made the manufactured and tha
farmer, the railroad and COM
merclal classes, each constituting
a component and essential part Of
the social organism, become the
correlatig yes and compliments OF
one another, mutually aiding and
sustaining each other and form
ing pyramid whose strength
and stability are derived from the
equilibrium of the social struc-
turc and from the resulting pros
perity and happiness OF the whole
people by reason of this equilib-
rum The arraying Of one class
against another in this economic
system with the expectation Of
bencfiting either one is the delir-
ious dream of political fanaticism.
FOR the railroads 10 war against
the farmers or the manufacturing
class, or for either Of the Others
or both to war against the rail-
roads and the commercial classes
falls like q whitening blight upon
al progress and prosperity. Har-
mony and justice, sound wisdom,
discretion and common sense
should characterize the actions
Of an these strong elements that
build up the greatness Of States
and nations and advance man to
q higher scale in the civilization
and enlightenment Of the world.

SHORT ON BONES.

1t is now ascertained that the
casket containing the alleged re-
mains of Columbus had in it,.
when opened at Cadiz, thirty
bones and some ashes. The hu-
man frame contains 1913 bones.
So about one-sixth the bones in
a natural skeleton were in the
casket, Is per cent. AS to the
ashes, if Columbus skeleton
was partly burned in the San
Domingo Cathedral fire of 1851,
why were not all consumed?
And how could the ashes of Col
umbus' bones be distinguished
from the ashes of other bones
there deposited by those who
claimed they had found and res
cued from the ruined building
the remains of the great naviga-

wANAMAKER's PROFITS.

A business man Of Philadelphia
told me the other day that Mr..
Wanamaker's profits from his
Philadelphia store last year were
over 81 100, coo and that those
from his New York establishment
viii run close TO that figure. The
Saturday before Christmas the
receipts in New York were even
greater than those in Philadel-
phia and exceeded $500, 900. The
New York store has paid a profit
from the very day it was opened,
although two firms which occu-
pied the establishment since A..
Z. Stewards death have failed.
The reason Of Mr.. Wanamaker q
great success, both in New York
and Phflapelphia, is his skillful
and extensive advertising. 1t
has been his rule to confine his
advertising TO newspapers and
magazines, on which he has
spent annually more than $500,
600 in Philadelphia. The ad-
vertising bills OF his New York
establishment exceeded even that
sum last year. Washington tel
