REPORT ON COTTON.

Mr.. W. NJ. Goher, of Marietta, has
been appointed local special agent of
the Census Office to collect cotton-gin-
ming statistics for this county, and we
join the Government in urging the GIN
ners to give Mr.. Gober their hearty
support and cooperation, thus enabling
him TO make prompt and accurate re-
turns. We would impress upon the
gnners that this agent is sworn offic-
er of the Government, and that their
reports, are forwarded as given to him
directly to the Census Office, at Wash
ington, without passing through the
hands of any middlemen. The infor-
nation given is held as strictly conf
Dental, and the operations of indivi-
dual ginners are not divulged. Upon
the joint cooperation of the cotton.
growers, ginners, and local agents
must depend the success of the Census
office in this inquiry, and its ability to
render this great service to the South
ern people and all interested in the
cotton staple.
The Census Office has demonstrated
in three annual reports, the fact that
the Ginners are the only reliable source
of information as to the volume of the
annual cotton crop. This is very com
plimentary to the ginners, who, no
doubt, will feel pride in sustaining
the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest shown
by the ginners, and of general demand
for more frequent reports through this
source, Congress, in the act creating
permanent census office, provided for
the collection and publication of these
statistics at intervals through the GIN
ming season. For the crop of 1902 the
office will issue three reports: the first
two will cover the quantity of cotton
glnned up to and including October IL
and December Is, respectively and the
final report will cover the total quanti-
ty ginned from the growth of 1902.

BLACK PATTI.

The Black Patti Troubadours have al
ways given high class, smart, up-to-
date stage show, embodyin refined ne
gro comedy, tip top variety, swell spe-
cialties, and unmatchable singing dane
ing and cake walking, but this season.
If the advance report be reliable, they
not only outclass their former high
standard but outrank any white or col
ored show in the world presenting a
varied bill of entertainment. There
arc forty people in the company includ-
ing Black Patti, John Rucker, Bobby
Kemp, Leslie Triplett, Will Cooke, The
Hills, "Slim" Morgan, Emma Thomp-
son, "The Black Lily" May LANCE, Mu-
riel Ringgold, Ed. Green, Anthony
Byrd and Mack Allen THE Equipoise
Marvel" who in their respective spe-
cialties have no living equal. Then
there is what the New York Sun has
termed "Weberansfield ebony hued
Chorus" also without rival. These
combined artistic singing and dancing
forces have scored this remarkable sue
cess through the following features, all
new this season: ''Darktown's Circus
Day, The Whang Doodle Comedy
-Four, Soldiers Camp Glee," "A Fes
tiVal of Partisan Melody" and ten big
variety acts. The Troubadours appear

SOCIALISM,.

A number of people say that the gov
eminent should take charge Of the coal
mines in Pennsylvania and mine coal to
supply the peoples wants. This is pure
socialism. If the government is to mine
coal, why not work farms to make bread
for the people; raise mules and horses?
If the strikers are to be put down by the
government taking control, then street
cars, railroads, factories, etc., will soon
all be run by the government. When
once begun, where would it end Bel
lamy's doctrine of socialism would be
the result.

UNITY.

1t is always bad for a town, church
or family to be torn with internal dis
sensions, 1t lis better to temper all of
our acts with wisdom, justice and
moderation" then peace, unity and
prosperity will prevail. Let every citi-
zen work for the good of his home, his
church and town that the best results
may follow.

A HOUSE BURNED.

On Friday night two room tene-
ment house, belonging to Mr.. J. D..
Cunningham, about mile from
town, was destroyed by fire. The house
was occupied by two white families,
Mr.. Williams and Mr., Causey. When
they awoke, the roof was falling in and
they had barely time to get out. All
their household goods were consumed
in the flames.

BEAUTIFUL.

Visiting the country these lovely au-
tumn days to view the charming land
scape is a treat. No painter could do
such work. The panorama of golden
rod, red sumach and black gum, pink
heather bells and ferns, make a grand
display beyond power Of words to por-
tray.

Two Interesting Russians.
From the Chicago News.


The Grand Duke Michael still stands next
TO the Russian throne. and a stroke OF fate
tomorrow might place upon one of the most
powerful thrones in Europe a young man
OF whom the world knows nothing, and
who owes his dazzling position to a series
of pathetic accidents almost without par
allel in the story of monarchies. The Grand
Duke Michael was the younger of the
cars two brothers, and seemed long way
from the throne when he was born. But
the pathoS of circumstance has brought
him very near the crown. His elder brother
the Grand Duke George. and the sons of
Gar Nicholas seem destined to come be-
tween the Grand Duke Michael and the
crown, but the incurabe illness Of the Grand
Duke George compelled him to abandon his
claim to the throne before he met hts death
on the Caucasus, and the cars hope for
son has been five times disappointed.
Another Grand Duke Michael Is the
Grand Duke Michael Nicholaiewitch, the
grand uncle OF the car and the czarevitch,
and the brother of Alexander ii. He Is a
veteran, within a few weeks of seventy is
a general and field marshal in the army
and presdes over the deliberations of the
state. The council has now reached the
one hundredth year Of its existence. and
the grand duke has been It's president for
twenty years. The grand duke is the only
member Of the Russian royal house since
Peter the Great who has reached his sew
entieth year. and he IL the sole survivor of
the children OF Nicholas l. The house OF
Romanoff has not been long-iived, and the
nrst Russian princes to reach sixty were
Snree sons OF Nicholas /. including the
Grand Duke Michael Nicholaiewiteh, the
Dessent member OF the royal house.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A writer in the Spectator is hunting for
a word and asks the readers of the Spec
tator to assist him. The word desired is
one that will express the ever-increasing
class of words that are named after some
Individual, e. g., boycott" ina cadamize,"
dolly" "mackintosh." CAMP" "peeler. e
Robert" Bobby Whitehead (for a
torpedo. &C. Such words should be CLASH
fed under a name by themselves What
should this word be? "CognominaIs'' has
been suggested. A cognomen. however. is
a surname. and such words are not always
taken from persons surname-"Bobby =
for example. to indicate policeman. Ono
mataneric'' and saneronomatic' have also
been suggested. but that would not include
''gamp" or Mrs. Grlndy." No exception
can be taken to the term "anthropono-
matte so far as accuracy OF description ID
concerned but 1t is terribly long word
and an apt short word IL desideratum.

The Importation Of Disease.
From the Medical Record.


Many of the Russian and Austrian poor
who are focking to this country are at
f1icted with extremely Infectious though
not especially dangerous, diseases. Mr..
Powderly, short time ago, drew attention
to the introduction and spread OF trachoma
on wide scale by this class of immigrants.
The New York health board has since been
concerning itself with the subject, and is
at the present time taking steps to pre-
vent the dissemination Of trachoma among
school children.
The bureau OF immigration. In its report
OF last year, expressed its confidence in
the careful examination by the United
States marine hospital surgeons as means
OF checking the inflow of diseased aliens to
American SOIL Unfortunately, such does
not appear to have been the case. for the
report in this connection reads as Follows:
The increase OF immigration has been not
quite one-third over that of 1901, but the
comparative increase OF diseased aliens for
the same period has been more than two
to one. The same races which exhibited
the largest number of diseased persons
last year maintain their pre-en1inence In
this respect for the year under cOnSderA-

means of protecting themselves from the
