WHAT THE PAPERS SAY,
This Is True.

From the Fort Gaines Sentinel.
Same of the papers are jumping
on" the Atlanta Journal and the Ma
con Telegraph for their criticism of
the democratic state committee for the
unnecessary and unprecedented action
requiring voters to register before
voting in the state primary. There
has been too much disposition on tae
part of democrats to endorse party ac-
ton, right or wrong, which is of far
more injury to the parry than the criti-
cisms complained of. If the commit
tee has taken wrong or unwise step
lit is evident they have they should
be told of it, The manipulation of
party affairs in the interest of indi-
viduals instead of for the welfare of
the party helps to make populists, or
to make active democrats lukewarm
and Indifferent and the sooner it is
stopped the better it will be for the
party.

ACCORDING to the Savannah News
Appraiser Wakeman of the New York
custom house has expressed the Opln-
on that owing to the prosperous condl-
ton of the country more people Will
visit the Paris exposition than ever
went to Europe in any previous year,
and that the majority of them will be
republicans. He says that the indica-
tions are that as many as 20
900 will be New Workers, and that
owing to the crowded condition of the
steamships comparatively few of them
will be able to get home in time for the
November election. This condition Of
affairs suggests to him that with so
many republican voters away McKtn-
ley will be in danger of losing the EN-
pire state and consequently the cleo
ton. The Springfield, Mass, Repub-
lican makes the remark that if pros
perity is so dangerous to the president
he ought to call Off some of it.

Future Cotton Sales.

From the Oglethorpe Echo.
Cotton growers and local dealers are
being brought face to face with new
problem this spring-the sale of this
years crop before it is even planted.
The buyers for firms of cotton fac
tors are energetically canvassing the
country buying the staple for delivery
next fall, or, more plainly speaking,
contracting to pay stated price for
cotton to be grown and delivered next
November or December. The prices
that are being offered in these con-
tracts are apt to be alluring, ranging
from seven to eight cents per pound.

DRINK STATISTICS.

Under the prosaic title OF "Al-
coholic Beverages" an interesting
statement has just been issued by the
hoard of trade of London showing the
production and consumption of wine,
beerand spirits in the various countries
OF Europe, in the United States and
in the principal British colonies, to-
gether with statistical tables relating
thereto, in each year from 1895 to 1898.
In MANY instances it has been found
dificult-almost impossible-to collect
the necessary information, for, as is
nointed out, the United Kingdom,
France. Germany and the United
States are the chief countries which
publish any reliable statistics on the
spbiect. Each of these countries de-
4, rives large and growing revenues from
the taxation of alcoholic beverages,
the proportion so derived to the total
national revenue being Approximately
in the case of the United Kingdom
80 per cent. in France 10 per cent,
in Germany IS per cent, and IN the
United States % per cent. 1t is inter-
egting TO note that in these countries
the amount of drink consumed is the
largest. while the countries them
selves are the richest in the world.
Thus do we find luxury and riches 60
ing hand in hand. The per capita con-
sumption of wine in Great Britain,
Germany and the United States is rel
ativelv insignificant indeed, the total
amount consumed in these three coun-
tries with their gigantic population OF
100. 600. 600 averages only an eighth
mart of what is consumed in France
with its 100000 inhabitants,
If. however, our wine bill stands sta
tionary the beer bill gets bigger and
hiooer. During 1898 3l.9 gallons OF
beer per head were consumed. Ger
MANY brewers had large output in
that year, though, per head, the pop
ulation of the fartherland did not
drink what is called "the staple bev-
erage" so deeply as did we.
In the United States we drink spir-
it's lust about as freely as they do in
Great Britain, the average being gal
lon a head, while Germany swallowed
more than twice as much.
"Whether," says the report, this
large consumption of spirits is
due to climatic or social conditions,
or how far it is Influenced by the
amount of the duty on spirits in each
country, is question about which va
rious opinions have been expressed. >
