VALUE OF THE SMALL MANUFAC-
TORIES.

The Cordele Sentinel recently made a
canvass among the principal manufacture
ing plants of its town to ascertain the
extent of their monthly pay rolls While
Cordele is one of the most energetic little
towns in South Georgia, it is not known
as a manufacturing community. There
fore it is probable that the Sentinel was
pleasantly surprised when it discovered
that the machine shops, the lumber mills,
wagon factory, the novelty works, the
guano factories, the ice factory and the
electric light plant paid out in wages
regularly every month more than 6,250.
In the canvass a number of small con-
Germs were omitted. In the aggregate
these no doubt contribute several hun
dred dollars to the monthly pay roll. And
the people of the town have determined
to build at once cotton factory which
will distribute not less than $1,000 a month
among it's operatives. Thus the time is
practically in sight when the manufac-
turing establishments of Cordele will be
turning loose every thirty days in the
neighborhood of $1,000 to $4,000
Such a sum, in ready cash, poured
steadily into the circulation of town of
the size of Cordele means a good deal
1t means good times for the merchants,
the truck growers, the carpenters, the
landowners and others. 1t means in
creased opportunities for earning a liv-
ing, and increased values for real estate
and other property. Practically every
dollar of the wages paid out in Cordele is
spent in that town. The percentage that
gets away is probably SO small that it
is not worth counting. The money, much
of it coming from abroad, is kept at
home, and in passing from hand to hand
it helps the whole community. And as
the town prospers. other manufactures
will come into il. The success of the cot
ton mill now in contemplation will be
most likely to induce the building of
another of its kind there; and the money
distributed locally by the mills will en-
able the people of Cordele to still further
diversity their manufacturing.
Cordele, by the way, is not the only
Georgia town that is being greatly bene-
fitted by small manufactures. There are
several such-Grifin, GAINESVILLE Toccoa,
and others 1t will not be many years,
at their present rate of progress before
they will be such centers as Augusta,
Rome and Columbus are now The news
papers of the Georgia towns are doing
good work in agtating in favor of build
ing manufacturing plants. even though
they be small.

Milking the Cow.

II went QUE to milk that COW of mine
last night" said the old-timer, carefully
nursing his arm, according to the Dead
wood Pioneer-Tlmes land here before you
are the remains. I'll forget myself and
assassinate the cow brute some day. As
l said, l went out to milk her, and she
behaved all right, with the exception of
wrapping her tail around my neck and
then unwrapping 1t. This didn't last how
ever, and she inserted hen hind foot in
the pail and looked around to see If l liked
il. In a sudden spell of madness yanked
up a neckyoke and histed it al her and
missed her and knocked over a row of
chickens. Then l got excited and landed
on her face with my right and uniointed
every joint in my body. She, the COW.
then became agitated and stood upon her
hind legs and run me in the haymow. l
remained up there, occasionally telling her
she might go some place If the sulphur
agreed with her health, until my wife
came and chased her Off. Tonight / shall
hog-tie her, bllndfold her and with the
assistance of a club milk her, gosh darn
her. to a finish."

THE ISLE on PINES.

Congress may be asked shortly to take
up question in which there is the posi-
bility of a controversy with the Cubans.
1t is with respect to the ownership of the
Isle of Pines, Whether it is Cuban or
American property is just now mixed
with some doubt. The treaty of Paris said
nothing about this island Accord
ing to the treaty Spain cedes to
the United States porto Rico and
the other islands now under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies" except
Cuba. Twice during the course of the in
strument Porto Rico and other islands of
the West Indies" are mentioned, bit the
Isle of Pines is not referred to- Under
the wording of the treaty the majority Of
American officers in Cuba, and many lead
ing men in Washington, are said % hold
that the Isle of Pines passed to the Unit
ed States along with the other islands,
Cuba excepted. The Cubans, on The other
hand. claim that the island is a part Of
Cuba; as much so as any of the Keys and
dots which speck the Cuban coast and
the ownership of which is not in dispute.
The Isle Of Pines is sixty miles off the
south coast of Cuba, and is separated
from the maitland by a body of water
called the 5ulf If Matamano. There are
fifty of more small islands 0e--vcen the
Isle of Pines and Cuba, in one place
forming an almost continuous chain
All Of these small bodies of land are con
coded 10 be Cuban. Under the Spaniards
the Isle of Pines was governed by officers
appointed at Hayhna by the Governor
! General. The Cubans Cain that the Flor
ida keys present parallel case; that the
Isle of Pines 5 closer to Cunl than v, y
West is to the mainland of Florida. The
island is about forty.nve miles long by
thirty-two broad. Its population is less
than 5000 There are two snail towns.
| The desire that the ownership Of it shall
be determined arises from the fact that
there are rich timber forests-mahogany
cedar and various hard woods-on the ISL

There are said 70 be also some valuable
mineral deposits. including marble ard

CONSULAR REFORM.

The prospect for reform in the consular
service is probably brighter now than ever
before. There are now pending in Con-
gress two bills, one in the House and
one in the Senate, designed to PAT the
service upon.a permanent basis in when
merit and not political pull shall be the
prerequisite to appointment. The fact that
the bills are pending, however, is not
what gives hope of reform. There have
been no less than seven bills heretofore
proposed TO remedy the glaring and recog-
nized evils of the consular service, but
the .'practicaI' politicians have always
been able to kill them. They had no in
tention of giving up the patronage at
tached to that service, even though the
country's business suffered in consequence
OF the appointment of unfit men TO repre-
sent United States commercial interests
in foreign parts. The chief hope for re-
form now is based upon the activity of
the commercial bodies in respect to the
matter the largely extended foreign trade
of the United States during the past few
years. and the probability of the still
further growth of that trade in conse-
quence of our enlarged sphere of infu-
ence in the Far East and the islands of
the seas.
The Senate bill. which was prepared by
Senator Lodge, seems to meet with most
favor from the chambers of commerce and
other commercial bodies. 1 provides for
examinations in commercial and interna~
tional law, in commercial and productive
statistics etc; for transfers and promo
tons from one grade to another, and for
permanonce of service after one year. y
new consul may be recalled and dropped
from the rolls at any time within one
year without assignment of reason, but
after one year he cannot be removed ex-
cept for cause and after having been af-
forded an opportunity for defense. The
candidate for appointment must be able
TO speak and write at least one language
besides English. Examinati tons will be
made for the grade and not for a particu-
lar post All notarial and other unofficial
fees are 10 be abolished and the consul's
sole compensation is to be his salary The
examining board is to consist of the civil
service commissioners, an official of the
state department and a consul
II is to be expected that strong oppo-
sition will be brought to bear against the
measure The forces which in former
years have succeeded in defeating consular
reform will make an effort to win another
victory and keep the consulates as spolls
to be distributed among party workers.
1t behooves the commercial interests
therefore, 10 strike while the iron is hot
and to strike with all OF the weight Of
their influence for the passage of the
Senate bill. 1t may not be perfect as a
measure of a reform, but it is a long step
in the right direction and would no doubt
lead to the putting of our consular SER
vice upon as high a plane as those of
England and Germany, and making them
in fact what they are in gencies
for the advancement of American COM
mercial interests in foreign countries.
