1t is doubtful if anybody in the
country, outside of the Carnegie
Steel Company, had an idea of the
vast net earnings of that company
before Mr.. Frick, its former gen
eral manager, filed his suit against
it. From Mr.. Tricks statement
the profits of the company in 1899
were $21 100000 and Mr.. Carnegie
estimated that they would amount
to fully $40, 900, 900 this year. Mr..
Carnegie is very rich man out
side of his interest in his steel
company, of which he owns So per
cent. His income from his inter-
est in the steel company last year
was about $12, 100000. This year
it will probably be full $23, OO0,-
600. With such an immense in
come, Mr.. Carnegie can we'll afford
to give many more millions of
dollars to libraries and schools
than he does, and yet hardly make
an impression OH his annual in
come.

The theory of the Constitution
is now and has always been that
the man who refuses to support his
county paper, no matter whether
he agrees with the editor or not,
cannot be depended upon to aid in
the growth and development of his
town or community. The man
who takes any paper at all should
take his home paper; if he makes
this small Investment he will soon
betray desire to widen his point
of view and will patronize, in ad-
ditlon, some wider field of opera
tion.-Atlanta Constitution.

MUST BUILD FACTORIES.

Frequently has this paper called
the attention of the people of
Dublin to the fact that more fac
tories must be built here. For a
number of years Dublin has steady
grown until now it is one of the
chief inland cities of the etate.
The territory surrounding Dublin
ls rich and extends practically
thirty miles in each direction, but,
rich as it is, if we build many
more business houses for new
merchants to occupy we are apt to
so divide up the trade that none
of them will make decent living,
and then the reputation of the
city will be hurt by failures and
removals galore. Competition is
a good thing to have, but too
much of it is bad for any city. An
hundred merchants doing well ia
far better than two hundred half
starved ones. A factory building
in course of construction is 8
truer sign of prosperity than the
erection of twenty brick business
houses.-Dublin Courier. What
is true of Dublin is true of Ma
rietta.

1.-The richest workingman in
New Jersey" has just died at
at Paterson, aged "a and worth
100000. For thirty years he was
a blacksmith in locomotive shop,
and laid the foundation of his
fortune by saving his money and
lending it to his comrades who
were not so provident as he, charg-
ing them a good, round rate of in
terest. Almost every Industrial
establishment of considerable size
has in it one or more thrifty en-
ployes who know how to save and
lend money.

There is convincing lesson for
the farmers of the south. Thirty
million dollars more money has
been received by them this year
for 100000 bales of cotton than
they received a year ago for H.
100000 bales. There should be
needed nc stronger argument than
this against farmers losing their
heads and increasing their acreage
for a record breaking crop next

The New York Sun makes good
point relative to the ownership and
control of the proposed Nicaragua
canal. 1t quotes what President
Mckinley said about a Pacific
cable, as follows: "Such COM
municat;on should be established
in such a way as to be wholly
under the control of the United
States, whether in time of peace
or of war" And then the Sun
asks.why the same principle should
not obtain with the canal. Why
shouldn't it?

The Philadelphia Ledger, an in
dependent republican journal pub
lished in great ship-building
city, says of the Hanna-Payne ship
subsidy bill. "There is no excuse
OF defense available for pressing
this scandalons bill. Under the
guise of aid for the merchant
marine, it was designed to take
millions of the public money as a
gift to rich ard powerful corpora
tions, and it's effect would be to
foster and perpetuate monopoly"

With the exception of May of
last year, January last, was the
biggest month the south has ever
known in the matter of projecting
new cotton mills. The new mills
that were organized south last
month represent an outlay of
100000 and they will have
about 100000 spindles with 5000
looms. This is the work of one
month and does not include scores
of mills that are going up in every
part of the south.

Eddy, of Minnesota, is said to
be one of the homeliest men in
congress. He rather glories i'll the
distinction, especially as all his
other characteristics are enviable.
During his last campaign the enc

with being double-faced. He met
the charge in a manner that dis
armed all criticism. Great
heavens, said Mr.. Eddy to his
audience, "do you think that if I
had two faces l would wear the

Near Stuart, in Patrick county,
Va, at the foot of spur of the
Blue Ridge mountains, there is
an apple tree which measures nine
feet five inches around. Five
feet from the ground are four
branches, the largest being six
feet around, the next five feet, the
smallest four feet five inches.
The tree is fifty-two feet high and
seventy-one feet broad. Although
1t is about seventy years old, it
bore last year a very large crop.
1t has been known to produce 10
bushels in a season, and, as might
be supposed, the soil in which it
grows is exceedingly rich.

there are more than 400 such
places in that city alone, and
many Others in the suburbs where
the American soldiers are sta

equally between fighting the Fill
