Georgia VIII be There.

The Confederate Veteran camps of
Georgia are making preparations to
send representatives to the five days
reunion at Louisville, KY, which be-
gins May 80. The indications that have
reached the office of Gen. Clement A,
Evans, commander of the Georgia di-
vision United Confederate Veterans,
point to perhaps the largest attend
ance of veterans from Georgia at the
coming reunion that has ever attend
cd, with the exception of the reunion
held in Atlanta. Gen. Evans has is
sued an order directing the camps in
the state to assemble ind elect dele
gates and alternates to the reunion,
and brigade commanders are directed
to issue similar orders to their COM
mands.

The Lengthening Days.

The days air gittin' longer, an Teller
wants to go
Where the clods air takin color, an the
rivers as they flow
Sing drowsy songs O. springtime; where
the grass is green an deep
An birds an bees conspirin' fer to slrX
his soul to sleep!
The shiny pillow is turnin' of the sod in
fields that soon
Shall feel the seed a-climbin' to the rosy
kiss of June;
An the way the birds air Wranglin' oil
roun' from east to west,
They're in lots o'tribulation bout the
buildin' o. the nest.
There's a springy sorter o. feelin' in the
country all about;
The sun is doin of his best to coax the
blossoms out;
An they'll be here in good season-jest
all yer arms kin hol-
An you'll feel the light a-shinin' through
the winders of yer soul

We Want to Excel

in our business of selling
Merchant Clothes. We have
an ambition to excel. 1t is a
selfish ambition, perhaps, be-
cause the more Clothes we sell
the more money we make. But
we can't excel unless you are
satisfied. We can't satisfy
unless the garments we sell are
honest, dependable, stylish,
and we've got to keep prices
down too, if we want to sue
coed in excelling. 1t is this
ambition that prompts us to
follow this system. 1t is this
system that makes our prices
possible.

for himself place among our heroes
and statesmen, and he will have large
space in the history of the times in
which he lived. He was not an echo
but voice-clear, distinct and authori.
tative as the silver trumpet of Hebrew
prophet. Those were stormy times that
brought him to the front, and no heroic
commander ever led his brave battal-
ions with more consummate skill and
splendid courage. When other hearts
failed, his proud spirit never quailed.
When other banners were ready to furl,
every fold of his flag was made to wave.
Those sad and bitter days of recon.
struction might well be forgotten but
for the opportunity they gave of dis
closing and immortalizing the heroic
qualities of some of the purest patriots
and grandest statesmen that ever
adorned the history of any land OF
time. And high up on the canonized
scroll of the century will be the stain.

The Savannah Morning News is of
opinion that the rapid growth of the
cotton mill business in the south will
finally attract to the manufacturing
centers great part of the white farm
labor, and thus, thinks the Savannah
editor, there will be reproduced in the
south the condition of the farming
community that existed in New En-
gland some years ago; that is, great
number of southern forms will be
abandoned, to be later on bought up
for a song, and rejuvenated by north
ern and western people. This may
prove that the Savannah editor has
firm hold on a vision into the future.
The farmer of the northern states is
content to let other people work in
factories, while he takes few acres,
enriches them, and sells butter, eggs
and vegetables to the factory people. 1t
beats going to work by the whistle
and quitting by it's toot. TO the right
man it is better than $1.25 per day.

To Observe the Total Eclipse.
Extensive preparations are being
made at the United States naval OBJ
servatory, Washington, for photo
graphing and observing the total
eclipse of the sun, which occurs on
May rs. Astronomical Director S. J.
Brown said: "Two government stations
will observe the eclipse, one in South
Carolina and one in Georgia. There
may be branch station as far south |
Union Springs, Ala, a place directly |
under the line of totality." Prof. Brown |
said that the observatory is asked |
many questions in regard to the |
eclipse, indicating the widespread in
terest manifested in scientific circles |
in the approaching event. A party of
eastern scientists will accompany the
corps south, some going
to Georgia, and others remaining in
South Carolina.

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Call money ruled at 51s per cent. Predictions
were freely made that the rate would be higher
before the end of the week owing to the rapidly
falling bank reserves. Payments to the Sub-Treas-
ury by the banks have amounted to sS,5O0.O 900
since last Friday and interior shipments have been
heavy. Bankers indisposed to make short time
contracts at the ruling level and borrowers will not
make long time loans at present figures. Bor-
rowers do not care to make more than thirty day
contracts at per cent, sixty day contracts at
per cent, because they believe that rates will de-
cline as soon as the currency law becomes effective
as money market influence. Under the new law
the banks VIII be entitled TO Increase in circua-
ton to the par value of bonds deposited for pres
ent circulation, and as the local banks have out
