Good Times In the South.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Georgia and the south just now feel a
strong inclination to "holler." For long
and weary time the south was in the val
ley-not of deSpond exactly, but or ad-
versity.
But at last, when the farmers and the
merchants had been made sick with hopes
that were never realized. the whole situa-
ton is frightened and the people o. the
south open their eyes to find that prosper
ity has returned.
The south is better off now than 1t has
been in forty years. Bankers give the
figures of their deposits and merchants tea
of wonderfully improved collections and
sales-evidence that is incontrovertible.
The farmers of the state Will have better
cause for thanksgiving this year than they
have had in many years. They have more
money more corn in the crib. more meat In
the smoke house, more potatoes in the
cellar and better stock in the pasture and
walls. all over the south can mean but the
one thing. Carnivais do not belong to hard
times. The prosperity Of the farmer is
naturally making itself felt In all of the
other avenues Of industry and trade. The
merchant wears a broader smile and the
banker is happy.
The indications for 10-cent cotton next
year are more tran good.
The opinion of many good judges is that
the price of cotton Is going higher even
this year, and we would not be surprised.
There are good business reasons why it
should do so II the farmers make no undue
haste in disposing of their holdings. The
factories neeu the cotton, and IL 10 cents
won't tempt it from the shed, why, maybe
they'll try what virtue there may be in a
higher price.
Altogether = is a year of jubilee with
our Georgia farmers. The Journal Is op-
timistic enough to believe that 1t is the be-
ginning of long season Of prosperity.

peiein apparatus and also that of the ar
ship of Santos-Dumont whose machine was
to have been tried at Paris yesterday.
slight change in the rigging, however,
caused a postponement, and, Ii may be,
revealed one of the weaknesses of the
whole system of aerial propulsion. Inc
shifting of a single rope from the stern !
the stem of the ship caused such dis
turbance of balances that other weights had
to be rearranged and this delay prevented
the test. The problem of human flight will
not be solved satisfactorily until the navi-
gator of the air can have wide margin OF
safety. No device susceptible of derange-
ment by the moving of coil of rope can
be relied upon for the kind of f1otation
which the insistent spirit of progress is de-
manding. The dream of the inventor of an
atmosphere filled with airships, carrying
freight and passengers and even waging
war, will never be realized until this mar
gin of safety Is attained For there is
vast difference between constructing diri-
gible balloon capable of carrying one or
two people who sit perfectly still during
the flight. and an airship capable Of con-
veying crew and passengers a consider
able distance, allowing freedom of move
ment and action during the voyage. While
great advances have been made in this re-
search during the past few decades, it Is
clear that the goal is not yet close at hand

William l.. Wilson.

The news of the sudden death of William
L. Wilson at Lexington, Va. today will
come as a shock 10 the many Washing
tonians who knew him intimately. Mr..
Wilson was closely identified with the cap
ital. He was at one time instructor at the
Columbian University, and he married the
daughter Of Prof. Huntington of the facul-
II. After absence Of several years,
during which he practiced law in Charles
town, w Va, he returned here as a repre-
sentative in Congress and remained as such
until 1896 During that period he rose to
national renown one of the most able
and scholarly men in the House. In his
work as legislator ne was connected with
the framing Of some Of the most important
measures enacted by the democratic party
His service a. Postmaster General kept him
in this city for a time after his retirement
from the House. 1t fitting that he
should have returned In his later years to
that he should die. 1t were, in harness
His connection with the Washington and
Lee University was marked by a continued
success. No reports OF Mr.. Wilson's dan
gerous condition had been received here
and the tidings of his death will cause
widespread sorrow. His Ioveable personal
qualities, his ripe scholarship and his at
tractiveuess as speaker combined to win
for him a wide friendship such as Is en-
joyed by comparatively few men In public
life.

The w. &. Il. L.

The local members of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union will entertain the
delegates from the national organization in
this city next month. The meeting will be
large and important. 1t will cost the Dis
tr.ct unions a considerable sum. An appeal
from a representative member of the W.
c. T. L. Is printed in another part of to-
days Star, asking that the people Of Wash
ington contribute 70 meet certain of the
expenses Of the convention, which will
amount ii is estimated, to about $1,000 AS
the author of this appeal says, this order
has done most effective work in the com
munity for many years, not alone in the
PRONUNCIATION OF temperance ideas but In
the ameioration of unfortunate conditions
in all walks of life. 1t has been an ele-
ment for good and it deserves recognition
even by those who do not fully subscribe
TO the central principle upon which it is
founded. A city without a w. c. 7. U. is
without & good friend, and it Is to be hoped
that Washington will lend a hand at this
time to help these devoted women to make
the Washington convention appropriately
complete and successful.
