There is nothing apologetic about
the Democratic position this year. The
party stands for bimetallism as against
a single gold standard and has the
courage of it's convictions. The finan-
cial issue is not the most important one
this year, and the Kansas City con-
vention SO declared. The paramount is
sue is Imperialism and on that issue
and the trust issue the major portion
Of the campaign will be fought.

Senator Hoar has proved that he Is
a vascillating old man. He ldeiiounced
the policy of the administration in the
most scathing terms, yet announces
that he will support Mckinley. There
is nothing consistent In his action and
he is being condemned by men Of all
parties. A man who does not know the
right is not to be blamed so seriously
for not doing right. but one who knows
the right and does not do It is not to bt
trusted by his fellow citizens.

The Philippine war is not popular.
They do not relish reading about
American troops shooting down those
brown men who were formerly our
friends and allies and who would yet
be our friends IL they were given to
understand that they would one day be
free. Those who are responsible for the
situation in the Philippines will yet feel
the weight of public censure.

An article republished from the New
York Sun. which appears elsewhere in
this issue. is evidence from the camp Of
the enemy that the currency legisla-
tion of the Republican congress- was
neither. good law nor consistent with
any theory of finance SO anxious were
the administration lackeys to fasten
the gold standard on the country that
they neglected some very essential
things and compromised to such an ex-
tent that the law is not good. The
writer In the Sun presents the matter
ably. whether one can agree with all
he says or not.

Senator wellington hits hard. He is
unalterably opposed to Mckinley and

there is only one way to beat Mckinley
and that way is to vote for Bryan,
Senator Wellington will be found in
the Bryan ranks in due season.

THE GREATEST CORN CROP.
This Years Crop Is Estimated at Twenty
Feur Hundred Million Bushels.


Twenty-four hundred millions! The
sum is astounding. 1t is difficult for
the human mind to conceive of what
such an enormous number means. Yet
it is estimated by the governments
weather crop service, and by we'll in
formed men in the grain trade, that
this country's corn crop this year will
be that many bushels. 1t staggers the
mind to try to imagine how big pile
2,400, 100000 bushels of corn would
make. The belief, indeed, is that that
estimate of the crop, from the present
outlook, is moderate. Should no unto
ward incident occur previous to the
harvest, to cut off the yield, the grand
total of bushels will be even greater.
As to the money value of the crop, it
may be stated that corn is now quoted
at SO to 40 cents bushel; but suppos-
ing that the great crop will cause de-
cline in price, the country's corn this
year, will represent an enormous sum
of money.
1t may that after while neither cot
ton nor iron will be king, but that corn
will WELD the scepter. Twenty-Five
years ago Samuel j. Tilden predicted
that it would eventually become the
agricultural monarch of America.

HEAVY GAINS IN TAX VALUES.
Sixty-Seyen Counties Show an Increase Of
$6.4oO.OOO.

Comptroller General Wright has re-
ceived the returns from sixty-seven
counties in Georgia, and these show a
net increase Of s6,490,000 over the
returns made last year from these
counties for state and county taxes
This is an average of about 100000 to
the county. Only six counties in the
sixty-seven show a decrease and the
decrease in these is quite small. Among
the counties that show a decrease are
Pike, Monroe, Wilkes and White.
The falling of in Wilkes county is due
to the purchase by the city OF Wash
ington of an electric and waterworks
plant, which had been owned by pri-
vate parties and the property Of which
was returned last year.

ICEBERG 500 FEET HIGH.
Columbian Passed the Monster Off the Banks
Last tuesday.

There was one cabin passenger
aboard the Leyland Line Steamship,
Columbian, which has arrived in New
York from Liverpool, and he might
have seen off the Banks on Tuesday
morning, if he had been an early riser,
something that very few passengers of
any sort get glimpse of at sea, CO.
lossal iceberg, computed by third Of
ficer Roberts to be 500 feet high. Very
few bergs more than half that high
have been seen in the North Atlantic.
The lookout in the crows nest saw the
big berg first and signalled by two
bells to the bridge that there was "a
ship on the starboard bow" He did
not find out until later that the vision
was "a berg. The Columbian pass
ed eight miles to the south of the ice
mass, which was shaped like a sugar
loaf The berg ran the temperature
of the air down to 48 degrees, and that
of the water down to As degrees. The
officers of the Columbian think that
the berg was about an eight of a mile
long.

RURAL DELIVERY GROWING
In Congressman Grigg'S District
the Work Goes On.

A number of rural mail routes are
being established throughout the sec.

One of the first routes to be estab.
lished in the state runs east from Al.
bany through portions of Dougherty
and Worth counties, the circuit being
about twenty-eight miles around. 1t
has proven most gratifying success,
the patronage having increased near.
ly or quite hundred per cent. since
the route was established. w. G. Lat
inner, of South Carolina, an official OF
the postoffice department, is now in the
district looking over the field with a
view to establishing other rural
routes. AS a result of his investiga-
ton one will be put in operation in the
northern part of Calhoun county, and
he is at present looking over. pro-
posed route in Mitchell county. 9th
err counties in the district expect to
have rural routes in the near future,
and there is lively rivalry between
the different neigh borhoods infested.

TRIP OF A GREAT AIR SHIP.
1t Made a Fast Voyage of About
Ten Miles.

United States Consul General Dubois
at ST Gall has sent to the state depart
ment at Washington IN interesting ac-
count of the great air ship, witnessed
by him, which took place on the after
noon of July End at Manzell on Lake
Constance, Switzerland.
The great ship, 407 feet long and 80
feet in diameter, and containing seY-
enteen separate balloon compartments
filed with hydrogen gas, was floated
out upon the waters of the lake on a
raft. Count Zeppelin and Mr.. Eugene
Wolf, the famous explorer, together
with Baron Bassus, who accompanied
the party as meteorological, were in
charge of the trial. When all was
made ready the balances were adjust
ed so as to give the ship an ascending
direction, the propellers were set in
motion, and with the wind blowing
strongly at 26 feet per second the CT
gar-shaped vessel made g slow, grace
fnl ascent and started on her cruise
through the air.
For total distance of ten miles the
ship scared nigh above the lake, reach
ing at one time an elevation of 1.3OC
feet above it's waters, when it suddenly
stopped short, settled gradually and
foated safely on the water. The cause
of the sudden stoppage in its fight was
slight mishap to the steering appa-
ratus, but this created no danger, as
the vessel sank upon the surface of the
lake without taking any water.
The trip consumed about fifty min
utes. The fastest time made was five
miles in III minutes. The ship weighs
-, 900 pounds and cost considerably
over 100000

able to employ preacher for two sun

in silence and is robbed of the salt OF
