A number of Columbus, Ca,
people thought there was money in
a batting and wadding mill there.
They organized a corporation,
bought land, gave out contracts,
and began building their plant.
Before they had finished they were
notified by the batting trust or
combine, that if they built their
plant, they would be systemati-
cally crushed out, as the combine
had control of the markets. AS
an inducement for them not to
enter the field, they were offered
a round sum to abandon their en-
terprise, the trust preferring this
to temporary decentralization of
prices attendant upon a squeeze
ont. The Columbus company saw
that the situation was exactly as
Represented, and to save them
selves, they accepted the PROPOSE
ton. This is what the Marietta
batting factory has to contend
against.

GROWTH OF HUMANITARIANIsM.

The starving multitudes of In
dia appeal SO powerfully to the
hearts of humanity that millions
flow to help them. People begin
to realize that all men are broth
ers. This spirit of humanitarian
ism is growing steadily. 1t does
not show itself in much of our
commerce and international af-
fairs, but it is growing in our con-
sciences and will be telt. Cuba
suffered until the human sympa-
pathy washed away the Spanish
inhumanity.
Good will to men, to all men
everywhere, is being felt to be ali
axiom and the heart of humanity
is being aroused and it will sur
mount all obstacles and give each
his justice. 1t will be long before
the reins of humanitarianism
which is but another name for the
reign of God, who coupled together
the Glove of God' and that of
"thy neighbor'' until it is in es-

Around us we see its Influence.

Speaking of Bermuda grass the
Atlanta Constitution says it
thrives on the poorest land and
enriches it: and the longest
drought does not kill it. A Ber-
muda pasture will keep stock in
good condition all through the
winter. The grass loses it's color in
winter, but not in nutritious prop
critics. 1t is a sun-living grass
and will not thrive in the shade.
In fine, Bermuda is the finest
grass in the world for restoring
the soil, feeding stock and making
good butter.

A miserable imposter is working
his game on the neighboring cit

The speedy trial and conviction
at Marietta of the negro, Sam
Robinson, who assaulted Mrs.
liner, resulting in his being SEN
fenced to hang Sept. /, is being
commended all over the country.
The trial occupied only ninety
minutes. The Louisville Courier
Journal says real justice was adj
ministered in this case because of
the speedy trial, and the death
penalty prescribed as the punish
ment. The Courier-Journal saws ::
Trials are postponed from month
to month and from year to year,
until the witnesses die or are
spirited off, or corrupted, and the
accused person finally escapes.
This way of not administering
justice costs in the United States
