MONUMENT TO WHITNEY.

Major j. F. Hanson, president of the
Bibb Manufacturing company, is one of
the directors of the Eli Whitney Coun-
try club, which is to establish memo
rial to the inventor of the cotton gin
at Rocky Greek, near Augusta. The
Herald says:
Aside from It's historic interest the
site of the proposed club is ideal for the
purpose to which it will be devoted
The gnarled old oaks were contempt
rary with Whitney himself, and it was
literally under their spreading branch
es that he labored. The elegant club
house, complete in all it's appoint
ments, will be worthy of the place and
the man it commentaries. The me-
moral arch will be thing of beauty
wrought out by the greatest artistic
skill. The broad lake and the historic
stream which feeds it abound in fish
of every variety known.
The hunting in the contiguous woods
is unsurpassed. The site in accessible
by one of the finest driveways in Geor-
gia-a delightful four mile spin-and
is also located directly on the line OF
the Central railroad, which will place
a station there and otherwise coop
crate IN making the club one of the
most attractive spots in the south.
1t is source of great pride to the
people of Augusta that this memorial
to one of the greatest benefactors OF
mankind is to be located here. It is q
tribute all too tardy, but will be made
still worthier by waiting.

THE JUDGES NARROW ESCAPE

A southern Judge, who is man OF
much dignity and presence, lost his
father in infancy, and as small boy,
often received correction at the hands
of darby on the place, in whom his
mother had great confidence. This
trust was well placed, and the boy grew
to manhood with strong affection for
"Uncle 'Rast" firmly planted in his
heart. AS years went on, the old negro
took an ever growing pride in the sue
cesses and honors which came to
''young Marse 'Gene"but usually tried
to hide his satisfaction from its object
'Well, Uncle 'Rast," said the Judge
one day, after particularly brilliant
speech at dinner had been printed
and Landed far and near, chow did you
like what I said on the school question
at that dinner last week? Did you ap-
prove of my views?" "Um-m," said
the old colored man, blinking up at
the tall Judge. 81 reckon you know
we'll 'nough Marse Gene, dat if yo'd
said different your ole Uncle 'Rast
would we been jess ready to spank
you'll"

JUDGE IS NOT PURCHAsEABLE.

A few months ago various virtuous
and righteous newspapers were insist
ing that Justice Harlan, of the United
States Supreme Court, was unfit to sit
in the insular cases because his son
had been appointed Attorney General
of Porto Rico. They agued that the
sons appointment was made to in
fuence his fathers opinion IN the
Porto Rican cases, and intimated di-
rectly and indirectly that he would be
so influenced, consciously or uncon-
sciously, and that in any event he
should not sit in the cases.
The most vigorous dissenting opin-
ion in the important case decided Mon
day was by Justice Harlan. Those
jealous guardians of the judicial err
mine who declared him incompetent to
sit in the case will probably offer no
serious objection to Justice Harlan's
dissenting opinion, since it is in direct
opposition to the Administration con-
tention.

These are sweet words, but how much
pain and suffering they used to mean. IT'S
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mothers Friend is a liniment to be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength, and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
never taken internally. Internal remedies
at this time do more harm than good. If

REGENT PURCHASES

New York, Aug. 28.-Plans of
reorganization for the Pittsburg
g. Western railroad and a financial
scheme for merging into the sys-
tom the various coal lines in West
Virginia and Ohio which we're re-
Gently acquired. will be announced
in few days by the directors of
Baltimore and Ohio River Rail-
road Company.
While the plans have not been
completely decided upon, SO far as
details are concerned, they will pro-
vide for the organization of these
companies as a compact division,
to be financed by an issue of bt nds
and of common stock of the
Baltimore & Ohio, which will be
offered to the oompany's share
holders, probably at par, or under
terms that will include rights to
stockholders. It is believed the
new issue of shares will be for
1926, 100000.
The Western lines to which the
new financial plan will apply in
olude the Pittsburg & Western, the
Cleveland Terminal and Valley, the
Cleveland, Ltraine and Wheeling,

nlcKinlex ana Wheat.

1t is we'll known in commercial
circles that the grain crop of Eu-
rope is seriously deficient in meet
ing the wants of consumers, and
already prices of food cereals are
feeling the touch of coming neces-
sity, says the Youngstown, (Ohio)
Vindicator.
English journals are discussing
the prospects for the year ahead,
and as usual this country is looked
to as the granary that must furn-
ish supplies for needing European
states. Fortunately, either Provi-
dence or William Mckinley has
provided a goodly harvest of wheat
in the United States, so that the
demand from abroad can be sup
piled.
The Mark Lane Express, the
best English authority upon crop
reports, codifies the wheat estim-
ates for the year, and comes to the
conclusion that the deficit for the
United Kingdom, France, Belgi-
UNI, Holland and Northwestern Btu
rope will be 268,OOO,OOO bushels
and it will need about G64,OOO,OOC
bushels. All this deficiency can
be made up from the United States
which will at the lowest estimate
thresh 675,OOO,OOO bushels, while
the home wants will not run be-
yond 4OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
How fortunate FOL, this county
and Europe that our President not
Providence, gave his full attention
to the production of an abundant
wheat harvest which he, during
the summer months, neglected in
the growing corn crop. The sea-
son was so hot and the persPira-
ton so copious during the reign
of Old Sol in July, that the negli-
gence of prosperity's agent was
partially excusable; especially as
the shortage of wheat in Europe
will stiffen the prices of the cereal
here and compensate for the drou-
thy condition allowed to prevail.
Let there be no fault found with
a president who SO manages the
seasons that deficit in one crop
is made up by superabundance in
another, and so arranges prices
that zone hand so washes the 9th
er" that loss is prevented. Such
is protection.
