Christ in his Thanksgiving

the ground that while every.

many (the Jews for instance)
do not worship the Son. Mr..

A Timely Inquiry.
l,enoir Topic.

What is a Democrat? A
Democrat is one who believes
in Democracy--who loves it
trusts it--abides with it.
He is not a Democrat W h o
seeks politiral office under ap
pointment oi a political OPP
ponent. He who does this
thing possesses the gall of a
government mule and since
the spoil system has been in .
augurated that man should
abide by it until public opin.
ion has placed it with a bet
ter. The man is not a Demo.
crat who IL bigger than his
party and desires to dictate
it's policy. Many are the men
whom we hrve hes ri say, 81
have not left the Democratic
party, it has left me." a q
though there were a standard
other than the party's decIar
ations BY which the matter
could be judged. Parties be-
ing composed ot men share
the frailties OF humanity and
their dictates are not infali-
BILE. But since there is no 9th
er government than that of
parties,swe are compelled to
admit that che party t h a t
nearest comedies with. our
views is the party for us, for
no thinking man can truth
fully say that no party's
views can in all respects,coln
ride with his own, and the ad
IN 8 8 on brands him as a
Ounce. SO those who, as a
matter Of conviction it mat
ters not, have refused to sup
port the party owing to some
particular issue which it has
decided to embrace, cannot
call themselves members of
that party. They may pro-
test political independence,
what aNHileth 1t? for they
cannot make themselves indie
pendent of politics. T b a t
man. whomsoever he may be,
cannot be called q Democrat
who antagonizes it upon ev-
cry occasion, rather Offering
succor to the enemy than ac'
knOwledging his foolishness.
Let us have done with these
political dictators a nd let
them know they must ac'
knowledge the popular will,
for in more cases than one
has this intolerant spirit
been the cloak under which
the insidious designs OF t b
enemy have been hid.

CONDITION OF COTTON.

New York, June 13.-Dispatchss to
Dun's Review from the entire cotton
belt make most satisfactory show
ing. Unfavorable weather conditions
during the opening weeks Of the sea-
son injured much of the seed and
made replanting necessary. This adds
to the cost of the crop, but does not
prevent full yield. There seems to
be from 5 to 10 per cent increase in
the average under cultivation, and.
while damage undoubtedly has been
severe in some sections, fairly good
weather from now to the beginning of
picking would insure an abundant
yield. Excessive rain has made the
growth of grass unusually rapid and
the scarcity of labor, together with
large grain crops, makes it difficult
and expensive to keep the fields in
good condition. Injury from insects
is light in most State, except for boil
weevil in parts of Texas, and lice in
regions where moisture has been ex-
ceptionally heavy. These pests are
not as harmful as usual, however, and
aside from the probable increase in
cost the planters have cause for graft
fcation.

we've judicially executed. The. news
columns Of the same day contained a
report Of the burning at the stake "a

ishment was inflicted calmly, deliber-

whole community joining in it either

Estiban Glori, a Filipino boy who
has been in Atlanta week, was the
cause of an excited discussion at a
soda fount one morning last week.
Glori was taken to the fount by W.
M. Pendleton, in whose charge he has
been placed. The clerk stubbornly re-
fused to sell the boy the drink, declar-
ing that he was Negro, and as such
could not be served at that particular
fountain. Glori's protector, and 9TH
er's standing around, Indignantly pro-
tested that Glori was Malay, and not
a Negro. The clerk was obdurate
and resolutely refused to let Glori
drink at the fountain. The Filipino,
while angry at the imputation that he
was Negro, was exceedingly cour-
teous and walked away quietly. Much
interest is being shown in the course
which the board of education will
take when the boy applies for admis-
sion to the public schools. Glori is
the son of a Filipino general, and
was sent to the United States to be
educated by an American army Off
