General Hamilton and the Boer Mother.
General Ian Hamilton, while quar-
tered in a Boer farmhouse won the
gratitude of its hostile mistress in the
following characteristic way: All OF
his intercourse with her was carried
on through an interpreter, and her
answers were given with SO little
grace that talk was not frequent.
Only once her stern face lighted; this
was when he asked about her youngest
fighting son, a boy Of IA. Her lips
quivered emotion was not really
frozen within her.
Next day the general had occasion
to ride past the farm, and he called,
for a moment. upon her.
Tell her." said he to the interpreter,
that we have won the battle today"
Tell her the Dutch will certainly
be beaten"
Perhaps her sons will be taken
prisoners"
Still no reply.
Now tell her to write down on
piece OF paper the name OF the young
est, and give 1t to my aide-de-camp.
Then when he is captured she must
write to me, and we will not keep him
a prisoner. We will send him back
to her."
At last her face broke into emotion.
The chord had been struck.-fouths

At meeting of the Cotton Growers
Protective Association, held in the

cents a pound. The Georgia Cotton

president of the state association, pre-
sided. The other officers and several
members were present, as we'll as Har-
vie Jordan of Monticello, president of

pound was fair price for the staple,
and full meeting Of the association
will be called within a few days, at
which all the cotton growers will be
asked to pledge themselves to hold
their cotton for that price Every eff
fort will be made to organize the cot
ton growers to the same end through

The state tax rate is 544 this year
against $50 in 1900. The governor put
on the full extent authorized by law,
and still the estimated revenue will
be about 1860, 900 shert of the estimat-
ed receipts.
The legislature having appr opriated
the money and thus pledged the faith
Of the state to it's payment, the gov
ernor could not properly do otherwise
than levy the tax to pay it-as far as he
could lawfully go in that direction, but
even with the increase of twenty four
points in the tax rate, there is q big
deficit between revenue and expendi-
ture, according to the comptroller gen
erals estimate.
The tax payers of the state have
clearly brought before them the hiatus
in the state budget, caused by the ex-
cessive appropriations of the legisla-
ture. It will be hard for the Legislature
to fill the gap. It had been depending
upon kiting, and that is stopped by the
action of the supreme court so far as
the public property fund is concerned

The Columbus Ledger comments
upon Alabama affairs of state as
follows:
"New constitutions are expensive af-
fairs It will cost Alabama $75, 900
to get her constitution through all
right, and If the people should fail to
ratify the instrument, the money
would be practically thrown away, I'M
less the view should be adopted that it
is worth SIS, 900 to the state to know
that her citizens are satisfied with the
old constitution"

Major j. F. hanson, of Macon, ad-
advises the cotton planters to pursue
the policy of bringing their cotton to
market slowly and has outlined certain
changes in the warehouse system
which will make it safer and less ex-

insurance and storage. He is both a
planter and manufacturer on a large
scale, besides holding an important IN
terest in transportation.

To sell or not to sell is the question
which the cotton planter will soon have
