would reduce the output of the copper
mines to a merchantable condition at a
cost with which no other camp in the
state could compete.
One of the mine owners from the Cop

just returned from that part of the
country, and states that work is being
vigorously pushed on the different pros

is in charge of the workings of the
Giantess group, and is crowding the
work right along. A steam hoist will
be set up as soon as it arrives on the
ground, it haveing been shipped some
time ago. The prospects are of the very
best that before the season is over, that
that part of the state will be heard from
and more than likely the reports will
create stampede to that section. 1t
is mining country of the first class so
that it is about as good a field as the
average prospector would like to visit
and look over to satisfy himself of the
values of the ores and the extent of the
deposits of valuable minerals.

from the capital with the intention OF

ing the coveted animal. The price paid
was not made public. but as Wakefield
is about as good a horse if not several
shades better than any to be found in
the Rocky Mountain region, it is a
pretty safe guess, that he cost away up

Henry James, the novelist, has been
spending the summer in Norway, from
which, it is said, he intends taking the
characters in his next story.
An apt answer is credited to George
Sanger, the we'll known English circus

would take should a certain wild beast
break out of his cage, he replied, with
all naivete, Blamed long ones"
M. Victorien Sardou was trained to
be a doctor, but drifted into playwrit-

giles. He is now. however, a very rich
man and resides in a summer residence
that cost him $3.50 900. If an ignorant
theatrical manager ventures to sug-
gest an alteration in one of Sardou's
plays the author rbars, Not line-not

career at the age of four. she was not
child prodigy. and did not attract at

she was twenty. Her father was an OBJ

MiIInrd,s Hoodoo Votes.

Thomas Willard, a Boston travelling
man, says that never again will he
vote in a presidential election. says the
Louisville Courier Journal. He consid-
ers himself "hoodoo" Mr.. Willard
and two or three other travelling men,
all bound for st. Louis, were waiting
at the Seventh Street Station for their
train the other night. In talking of
the assassination of President McKin-
ley, Mr.. Willard said:
I'm all my life, and / am go years
old, have voted for only three Presi-
dents, and, gentlemen, l swear to you,
that I'll never vote for another"
Whats the matter? Can't you pick
winners?" laughingly queried one of
the crowd.
81 voted for Lincoln and he was as
sassinated. The next man 1 voted for
was Garfield, and the same thing hap
pened to him. Mckinley was the last
one, and you know what befell him."
Everybody seemed interested and the
travelling man continued:
That's only half the story. I never
have cast but three votes. When Mr..
Lincoln was first elected stayed away
from the polls. Then I joined the army
of the North and was wounded. When
he was elected for his second term l
cast my ballot for him. He was as
sassinated. Well, didn't vote for sew
eral years after that. There was al
ways something that didn't suit me.
One time the platform was wrong; an
other time didn't like the conditions.
But when Garfield was nominated ]
was enthusiastic. He was personal
friend of mine and 1 went to the polls
early. That night 1 was the proudest
man in the county. 1t tickled my
vanity to know that my friend was
elected Then he was shot. l began
to think Only twice had 1 voted and
both time my favorites were murdered
OF course, / didn't hold myself respon-
sible.
ION the day of the next presidential
election l was out on the road. The
next time was displeased with some
thing or other and did not vote. So II
went until last November. Things were
pretty warm all over the country and
/ thought I'd give Mckinley little
lift. Then / thought of what had be-
fallen my two other candidates. and
debated a long time whether 1 would
vote but l finally decided that l was
a fool to think of these things. and
voted Just to show myself that l had
overcome my superstition.
"And the first thing l said when
heard that the President was shot was:
Don't YOU vote again"

HOMELESS VETERANS.

II was with sincere regret that Sa-
vannah heard of the burning yester-
day of the Confederate Soldiers Home
near Atlanta. BY reason of the destruc-
ton of the building more than seventy
of the old heroes of the gray are left
homeless, and some of them are ILL
Unless aid were given at once there
would be hardship and suffering among
them. The good people of Atlanta will,
of course, attend to their immediate
wants. But that cannot be permanent.
The thing to be done, therefore, is to
rebuild the home, and do it as quickly
as possible. This duty devolves upon
the people of the state, whose hearts
are still true to the men who offered
their lives as a sacrifice for their
country. Popular subscriptions must
be the means employed. That will give
everybody an opportunity to show
how much" they are sorry, and show
1t quickly. The movement for the re-
building of the Home by the people
should meet with immediate and gem
erous response. The Morning News
opens subscription list in it's business
office this morning, with contribution
of 500, and invites citizens to aid in
the good work. Subscriptions will be
taken in Atlanta, and other Georgia
cities no doubt. There ought to be lit
tie difficulty in raising the few thou
sand dollars needed

1t is doubtful if the estimates now
being made of the size of the cotton
crop command a great deal of con-
fidence. II is true, of course, that
great deal is known about the condition
of the crop, but il is a question If the
reliable information at hand is suf-
flcient to make an approximately cor
rect estimate. The crop is about three
weeks late, and in portions of the cot
ton belt has suffered great deal from
weather conditions. In some localities
there has been too much rain, and in
others not enough.
1t is stated as a fact that the crop
In Texas will not be nearly so large
as il was last season, though it would
not be advisable to accept the esti-
mates of those who think the crop an
that state viii be pretty nearly a third
smaller than 1t was last year.
The season has been peculiar one
in some respects. After Aug. Is there
was little evidence of fruiting in the
South Atlantic states, and until the
last week September was a cold month.
No one can predict with any degree
of certainty what the weather condi-
tons this month will be. If a frost
should make its appearance towards
the. last of it a large percentage of the
crop would be cut off.
A fair estimate of the crop from pres
ent indications would be anywhere
from 100000 to 1O,5OO.00O bales. One
of those who have been fortunate in
making pretty close estimates for a
number of years is of the opinion that
the crop will be about 10.3O0.00O bales.
If that estimate is near the truth
there ought to be a quick advance in
the price of cotton, because the world
wants more cotton this year than was
raised last year. While it is true that
the mills which are weaving the coarse
cotton fabrics have been finding some
difficulty of disposing of their products
those which are manufacturing the
finer grades of goods appear to have
no difficulty in selling all they make
promptly.
Now that China is trading again, and
taking a very great deal of our coarser
goods, 1t ought not to be very long be-
fore the mills, particularly, those here
in the South, will be active buyers of
cotton. In that event the price of cot
ton would doubtless advance, and
might reach 10 cents a pound.

POLITICALLY onomatopoeticaI.

Boys, don't read poetry to the girls.
says the Louisville Times. There isn't
one in ten who appreciates it. They
will rave over THE rose is red, the
violet blue" ETC., but when you deal
them out some huge chunks of real
good verse, with the brand blown in
and the trade mark, Apollo being led
to the cooler by the Muses. they stick
their fans before their faces, sigh and
wake up when you finish. Many a
promising young man has ruined his
life by reading poetry to the wrong
girl. Her father overhears him, per-
haps, and thinks: Darn it, that sort
of stuff amt going to keep the wolf
from the door, But he is mistaken.
I have heard lots of poems that I
would guarantee to keep him away
eternally.
One of our poets who has not taken
out regular license from the Sinking
Fund read some soulful songs on the
ocean to dear girl he was edging up
to. They were all about the wild
waves, gray skies and so on.
Did you ever, Miss Daisy" he
asked think what those vast heaving
pillows, melting on the shore and then
receding. sing as they come and go;
what the sound of their ebb and flou
means?"
mo, never have" she replied calm
ly. but when my brother and I were
on the coast of Maine last summer we
used to listen to the waves breaking,
and he said they sounded to him"
"Poetical?" interrupted the poet.
Yes, I suppose So" she said. They
went 'Slosh b'gosh, slosh, b'gosh,
from morning until night"

"YEI.LoMn IoIrRNALIsM.

A good deal is being said and written
just at this time about yellow jour
nalism; and the amusing thing about
some of the writings and sayings is
that the critics usually are of the vel
low type themselves. That they are
not of the deepest yellow is no fault
of theirs, but is owing to lack of
ability. Given ability, they would be
among those most completely and hope
lessly jaundiced. The newspaper that
puts a great, fiaring and misleading
headline upon every little, dirty, sensa-
tional item; that publishes items not

that justifies such Journalism on the
ground that 1.-THE people" ought TO be
given an opportunity to Judge for
themselves" is yellow" at heart and
is only prevented from going as far as
its 'yellowest" contemporary by the
limitations of its brain department.
The spasm of virtue that has sudden
ly been developed in some Of the Of
tenders against clean Journalism and
public decency is itself a symptom of
''yellowism." 1t is the fooling of read
ers, for self-advertising purposes,
through the assumption of virtue that
is not possessed; the condemning of
practices of which the journals them
selves have been guilty. There are no
doubt some newspapers that are more
culpable than others, but every paper
that caters to the lower senses by
printing matter which its editor
knows will have harmful effect, and
lauding that which should be de-
nounced, is a contributor to discomfort
among the masses and the making of
anarchists and socialists.
Newspapers are the great educators
of the American masses. There are
tens of thousands of persons who read
nothing else. If the spirit of what they
read in the papers is communistic or
anarchistic, ii is but natural that the
readers in time become disconnected
with society and government. If not
enemies of mankind. To the lowering
of the tone of many of the great news
papers of the country is due much Of
the discomfort and class feeling that
unquestionably exists day. In many
communities matter that few years
ago would have caused a newspaper to
be denied entry to a household is now
published with impunity and read by
every member of the family. That is
one effect of ''yellowism."
However, there appears to be a re-
vulsion of popular feeling respecting
the sensational, trouble making "yel-
low" press, following the assassination
of President Mckinley. Should his I'M
timely and lamented taking-off lead to
moral reformation of the press, the
sacrifice of his life will not have been
without some compensation to his
country.
