A TESTIMONIAL.
Elm Park, Nov 9Th 1901.
Mr.. Chas. Weydert,

Dear Sir:
You asked me how ! am satisfied
since you sharpened my gin saws.
The facts are, as to quality
gin 2 to d bales more a day than
before.
AS to quality you can Judge for
yourself as per enclosed notiGca
ton of sales of my first shipment Of
30 bales of cotton; 40 of which
cIassed middling fair, one bale
good middling.
Of course, l attribute this classi
tication partly to my superior anc
well selected seed, but without gin
saws being properly sl,arpened thu
result would be different.
Yours Truly.
A. Muller.

1t transpires that the text Of
the Presidents message was in the
possession of the leading news
papers of the country for several
days before it was sent in to Con
gross. They were "upon honor
not to divulge, or comment in any
way upon, its contents. This un
derstanding was sacredly kept, and
is a blow at sensational and indis,
erect journalism.

1t has always beer contended that
the Office of Chief Executive bears
with it such dignity and RESPONSE
DiIity that it has the effect Of calm
ing any impetnOus man who might
chance to fill it. The Presidents
message proves this, as it has a
graver tone, than one could have
expected of the Rough Rider.

And it seems that the press is
most anxious, in view of the new
appOrtionment, to change the Sixth
Congressional district. Each dis.
trict thinks the sixth is the proper
one to be shorn, though we, who
live in the sixth, are not saying
anything much, because we know
we are not likely to he rid of our
bugbear, divide as they may.

Colonel Robertson, Representa-
tive in Congress from the Sixth
Louisiana District, signalized his
first service on the important Ways
and Means Committee, to which he
has just been appointed, by voting
with the majority for the bill I'M
posing the duties of the Dingley
tariff OH all importations from the
Philippines. The balance of the
Democratic members of the com.
mittee voted against the bill, hold
ing that as they had voted against
the Dingley Bill in the first place,
the only consistent course was to
vote against its application to the
Philippine Islands.
Representative Robertson ex-
planned that be felt it his duty to
vote for the bill because his State
was vitality interested in preventing
the free importation of sugar and
rice from the Philippines. These
articles were practically the only
impOrtatiOns from the islands, ex.
cept hemp, which is on the free list,
hence Louisiana would be the main
sufferer, should the bill fail to pass.
Were Philippine sugar permitted
to enter our markets free of duty,
the precedent would be established
for the free admission of Cuban
sugar. Louisiana's prosperity de
ponds largely Oh the prosperity of
the domestic sugar industry, and
there can be no doubling that were
Philippine and Cuban sugar per
mitted to enter free, the domestic
sugar industry would be irretriev-
ably ruined.
Realizing the serious character of
the position he had assumed, COL
Onel Robertson called the entire
Louisiana delegation in Congress
together and laid the matter before
them. AS was to have been ex-
pcctcd, they Endorsed his attitude
unanimously, and pledged them
selves to vote for the measure when
it came before the House of Rep
resentatives for action.
The Supreme Courts decision in
the Philippines case and the eager
ness of the administration to have
Congress promptly extend the pro-
visions of the Dingley tariff to the
islands has been a heavy blow to
the people advocating reciprocity
with Cuba. The same arguments
which demand that duties he ex-
acted on Philippine products apply
with even greater force to Cuba,
which is not all American territory,
but a foreign country. The sig
nilicance of the Governments
action in the Former case is causing
the reciprocity people much per-
turbation.-New Orleans Picayune.

If Southern represcntation" in
Congress should ever be cut down,
it will be some consolation to know
that the same axe will strike
Massachusetts,. That state has
made more strenuous exactions in
its suffrage than the South has.

The President himself showed
up-to-dateness by giving the press
his message in correct and com
plete form, leaving no opportunity
for garbling or other errors.

WANT NEGROES IN HAWAII.
Colored Preacher just Returned Says
the Islands Are Suited for
HLs Race.

Rev. John Henry Cook. a colored
preacher of Mississippi, who recently
went to Hawaii to inspect the sugar
plantations and the opportunities
they offered to negro laborers, has re-
turned to San Francisco by the Zea-
landie. He says he is much pleased
with the outlook, and the companion
who went with him remained at Ko-
hala and began work on a plantation.
Cook says he will advise the people
of his race to emigrate to Hawaii, and
he will accompany them. He says the
advantages that Hawaii offers over
any of the southern states are high
er wages, shorter hours of labor and
no extremes of heat and cold. In ad-
dition he says the quarters provided
free by plantations are better on the
average than the negroes are able to
provide for themselves in Mississippi,
Then there are the free medica! attend
ance and other advantages, which
make the real wages much larger
than the apparent ones. There is a
good system of free schools and an alb
sence of race antagonism. He is en-
thusiastic regarding the outlook for
the negro in Hawaii.

ON A CASH BASIS
And Fixed Scale the Marietta Brick Plants
TO be. Conducted.

Owing to the sharp competition
which has existed among the brick
manufacturers of the city and which
was found to be financially unDrofit-
able, the factories to the number of
four have effected an agreement regu-
lating the price of their output.
BY the terms of the new arrange
ment brick will be sold at strictly one
price and an agent will tram
sact the business. All sales will
be made for cash, thus enabling
the manufacturer to sell cheaper and
turn out better article
No one has as yet been selected to
manage the affairs of the brick comp
anies. The concerns interested in the
agreement are the Sterling, Thos. Cis-
Ter & Son, The City and the Acme
works

Edward Clifton.

Mr.. Edward Clifton died last even
ing about 4:30 o'clock. Since Christ
mas he has been suffering from a form
of kidney disease and was receiving
treatment at Grace Hospital for the
malady. He was about As years old
unmarried and came here from New
York City last October He was en-
ployed by the Marietta Paint and Col
or Co. up to the time of his serious
illness at Christmas. The deceased
has no relatives and was little known
in this community. 1t is understood
that he has relatives in New York and
communication will probably be made
with those in order to determine the
wishes of the deceased's relatives in
order to receive instructions in regard
to the diSSosal of the remains.
