TRADE AT HOME.

If the merchants, farmers and all
consumers, in. general, would but rea-
lie the force of the above caption, it
would do much to promote the pros
perity and encourage the thrift of all
classes.
Why trade at home? To answer this
question, in detail, would require a
prolix essay on the mutual relations of
individuals and classes in the organism
of society. Briefly stated, the advan-
tages Of trading at home are-1st, You
see what you get and get what you
want. md, If your purchase fails to
meet your requirements you can ex-
change it for something that will suit
you. 3rd, Money spent at home, stays
at home and initiates the local currency
4th, An honest merchant will handle
only honest goods and will always en-
deavor to please an honest customer.
9Th, When you purchase the wares of a
tirst-class merchant, he will bestir him.
self to trade with you when you have
anything to sell. eth, The difference
in the local price and the foreign price
for an article is generally offset by
freight or express charges. 7th. If you
are displeased with an article purchased
by catalogue in Atlanta or elsewhere,
to return it initiates the price to such
an extent that the bargain feature is
overcome by incidental charges. Sth,
An up-to-date merchant will not make
his prices stilted beyond reasonable
margin of profit, Lastly it promotes
a mutual dependency among all avoca-
tions and thus destroys individualism
and class strife

DANGER.

Once there was pleasure party float
ing on the Niagara river.
They were dancing and singing and
allowed the boat to lazily float along on
the beautiful waters.
They did not observe that they were
getting in the current of the rapids
above the falls.
A man on the bank saw them, and he
called: "Ahoy, ahoy, the rapids are be-
low you"
The party continued to dance and
sing. Another man saw them, and he
called out, "Ahoy, ahoy, the rapids are
below you"
They laughed at him and Knocked
him. On they went and the third man
called to them, "Ahoy, ahoy, the rapids
are below you"
On they fioated, and finally they
found that they were swiftly gliding
into the wild, mad and rapid current.
They then began to pull to save them
selves, but too late, they went over the
falls and all were lost
The Mckinley administration is now
trying to float the Republic on the
dangerous rapids of the imperialistic
Niagara, and unless the American peo-
pie call halt the government will go
over the falls to destruction. Militia
rism, imperialism and trusts are at the
helm, blinded by ambition sid
greed. Let the people take warning
and try and save the Republic that is
being drawn swiftly into the mad whirl-
pool of "entangling alliances" with
other nations. The Philippines, a col
ony of yassals, maintained by a stand
ing army is contrary to our democratic
institutions. Our government cannot
stand half Empire and half Republic.

TURN TO GOLD.

1t was cynic who said: "All peo-
pie worship one God. 1t is spelled
G-o-l-d." Never was satire more true.
The present is indeed an age in which
the love of Mammon is predominant.
The time was when the ordinary man
was considered competent single hand
ed to do battle successfully in every
avocation of life. The time is no more
Men have abandoneda the plodding
quiet and more honest methods of ac-
curing riches. They no longer rely
upon individual effort, but marshal
their skill, and power and influence
under the names and trappings of cor
poratious, pools and combinations that
their flight to wealth may be more
rapid and certain, Like Midas of old
they want everything they touch tc
turn to gold.

A CAT KILLS SNAKES.

Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. NJ. Fleming, of this
place, has cat that is not only a fine
mouser, bat has developed a penchant
to kill snakes. This cat is very fine
one and wears ribbons and bells,
through the pettish scheme of Miss
Ruby. One day last week she heard
the bells ringing vigorously. She went
to the door and saw fight in the yard
shrubbery going on between the cat
and very large moccasin snake. The
snake would dart its head at the cat
and she would knock the head OF the
snake to one side with her foot every
time. Finally the cat grabbed the
snake by the back of the neck ard
shook it considerably. Mr.. Fleming
them came to the rescue and killed the
snake with stick. few days after,
the bells on the cat began to ring again
in the front yaru. Miss Fleming went
out and found that the cat was in an
other combat with huge snake. The
cat put the snake to rout, and as the
snake attempted to run in at the door
Mr.. Fleming killed it also with stick.
This is remarkable cat and one we
we would like to own.

NOT AT WAR.

Suppose the Chinese feet had knocked
down the forts on the Potomac and
marched on Washington, how many
Chinese would be left alive to tell the
story? The march on Pekin was an
act of war. Augusta Chronicle.
Exactly. President Mckinley says
we are not at war with China. The
Ninth Regiment in the assault made
upon Tien Tsin, in the loss of 213 men,
killed and wounded, evidently presents
the appearance of war. The President
is sending more troops to China for
some purpose. If it is not war, then
what is it We thought that Congress
alone could declare war, but Emperor
Mckinley allows our troops to invade
China and attack their cities, and then
declares we are not at war with China.

OUR PART.

With the affairs in China in so cha
otto a state as at present, it is useless
to attempt forecasting what some of
the great powers will try to do when
order shall again be restored in that
country. We must preserve China's
integrity. We must check the tep~
dency toward a partition of that en-
pire. 1t would not, be business. it
would not be reasonable, to contribute
to that tendency to restrict our field
to small area by joining partition
movement, with demand for a share
Our opportunity in China is unlimited
If we can maintain the open door pol
icy. The chances for our manufactu-
rers are far more promising under such
conditions than they would be if their
markets were restricted to a narrow
area falling to this country under a
plan of division 1t is recognized as a
wise policy to strive for larger field
The reward of the United States for its
participation in the regeneration OF
China will be ample if peace can be re.
stored on the open door policy. And
American rights and lives are respected
five shall have done our duty as q
member OF the family of nations in q
crisis. If through our prestige as q
territorially disinterested power we
can prevent partition, we shall be more
than compensated for the part we have
taken

HON. N. A. MORRIS.

Hon. n. A. Morris, one of the Demo-
cratic nominees for the legislature from
Cobb county, will be a candidate for
speaker pro tenn. of the next House of
Representatives Mr. Morris is grad
uate of the State University law school
and has served one term in the leg
islature. He was candidate for the
nomination for reelection in the white
primary in this county and led the
ticket, receiving 1904 votes. Since his
nomination he has been in correspon-
denee with the nominees for the legis-
lature in other counties and he has re-
ceived most fiattering encouragement,
in fact such as undoubtedly insures his
election to that position in the next
House.
His opponent is Hon Fondren Mitch
ell, of Thomas county, who has also
served one term in the legislature.
Mr.. Morris lisa practicing lawyer at
the Marietta bar, is hard worker and
energetic in everything he has to do.
He made a crediteble record in the
last legislature for strict attention to
business ard If the honor to which he
aspires is conferred upon him by that
distinguished body, he will be found
equal to every responsibility, intelli-
gently, wisely and according to parlia-
mentary law. His many friends here
and throughout the state trust to see
him honored with the position.
