The price of cotton hangs
around s cents although every
well informed cotton man in the
county realizes that a short crop
has been made, but the receipts
are phenomenal. The crop has
opened, has been gathered and
marketed earlier than ever be-
fore in the history of the cotton
belt. The heavy receipts were
up to a few days ago twice
as great as same date last year.
This alone is perhaps RESPONSE
BILE for the fact that cotton does
not advance to 9 or possibly &c
cents. We do not profess to be
expert on cotton prices but we
confidently believe that mid.
dlings will sell III Georgia for g
cents per pound within 30 days,
30 days at the outside.

Hon. r. V. Bowen was elected
Representative of Wilcox county
at the election Wednesday by a
handsome majority, over the
nominee, John N. King. Owing
to the factions in that county,
created by the court house issue,
the primary was not generally
participated in by several dis
tricts of the county. There will
probably be strife in Wilcox I'M
til the court house question is
definitely settled.

America has her Monte Car.
los. There is one place in the
Union where the gamest sport
can get his fill of gambling, and
that is Saratoga. Men and wo-
men alike find ample opportunity
to risk all their spare change at
Saratoga. Gambling there is a
business, in fact the business on
which the community thrives;
thrives at the expense of the
young man and old and indeed
the tough woman who make up
their mind to break the bank. "

Geraldine, P. H. Fitzgerald s
Texas colony, will probably be
turned into a cattle ranch al
though it is improbable that it
can be made a success where
grazing lands cost 5000 per acre.
F. M. Agan, secretary, states
that they have about 100000 acres
paid for at 5000 per acre and
about $4,000 acres on which thew
simply hold options. The ques-
ton of Transforming the COLONY
into cattle ranch will be sub
mitted to the shareholders for
their consideration. There are
now only six out of all the COLONY
upon the grounds who would
venture to take the lands and
live upon them the coming seas
In fact only about 20 families
now remain on farming lands of
the colony. Mr.. Fitzgerald was
very unfortunate in locating his
colony in the arid and alkali belt
OF northwest Texas when so
much fertile farming lands stu
ated IN the God-favored section
of Southern Georgia can be had
cheap. There is room here for
many thousand and the more the
better.

THE MAGIC OF MANSION.

Midway between the gates Of Birth and
Death.
Half-shadowed by oblivions border
wood,
Along highway, hard with pilgrims feet,
a house. untenanted and empty. stood.
Wealth. gilded, came. with serf and pranc-
Ing stee6,
To dwell therein; and gold and precious
stone
tssHttered from rafter unto architrave-
But Wealth was cold, and lived her days
alone.
-Eken Beauty knocked. and. entering with
a smile,
Was given welcome and a stately room;
but never sister called on Beauty there,
And all her radiance faded in the gloom.
Power preached wall. and locked himself
behind
His sleepless guards and bars of tested
steel;
Beyond the help of friend, the wrath of foe,
He perished in his caution and his zeal
The house grew old. Fame climbed an ivied
wall
And burned his deeds above the creaky
door;
But all men read the words of cold neglect,
Ard sought for Fame in that house never
more.
Then Love pursued by her own fear, one
night
Took refuge in the mansion lone and
6rear.
A FIRE she kindleG on the hearth-Behold!
a group of fellow fugitives drew near!
They warmed themselves before the blaz-
ing fire;
They slipped the wine for years in dun
geons hid;
They found the bones of Wealth and Power
and Pride,
And smiled about the foolish deeds they
did.
Glad voices rang in many a startled room
Where Silence dreamed her dusty dreams
for years,
And laughter ratified many a shaky pane
Times housekeeper had washed with
misty tears.
And nevermore men pass that CHEEKY
house
The young that ramble and the old that
tire
Without a cup of comfort in is shade,
y moments chat and rest before the fire!

mistake was discovered very soon,
and builders and owners agreed on
the construction of practically ocean
going carriers for use on the tenn
pestuous inland seas. Mr.. Walsh re-
ports that 80 per cent. of the vessels
being built in the Lake Superior ship
yards in the spring of 1895 were prac-
tically Ocean-going craft; and adds
that insurance men and ship owners
are constantly figuring on the con-
struction of vessels and steamers
that will be even more seaworthy
than those recently built.
Mr.. Walsh calls to mind the mot
ley procession that has passed over
these lakes. The Indian padding his
fragile canoe along shore; the sloop
and schooner of later years; then the
large wooden brigs; to-day the steel
freighters and the passenger steam
ers, great floating hotels. But to-day,
as in the day of the Indian and the
canoe, the skipper must be a man of
courage and experience, must bear
on his shoulders heavy responsible
ity.
If all the mysteries of the lakes
could be disclosed, what a tale they
might tell! Vessels have left lake
ports and no vestige of them ever re-
turned, ever been discovered. They
have been swallowed up utterly by
the waters that perhaps not long
after the tragedies showed a mosa
innocent, inviting surface. Every Sc
we're storm on the lakes is attended
with great disaster to the shipping,
and the weather mans signals mean
not little to those employed in
service on these waters. In the last
decade there have been fewer acct
dents in proportion to the number of
vessels in use, but there are still too
many.
The extensive lake navigation is
practically closed in winter, but con-
siderable late fall traffic is continued
often at great risk; for the sake of
filthy lucre the risk being assumed in
the face Of well-recognized danger.
Greed also accounts for the over
loading of the freighters, more of
which is noted in the lake than in tho
ocean carriers; although the biz
yards that sweep over the northwest
raise tumult in the lake waters
that the stormy Atlantic cannot
easily outryul. Another danger en-.
couutcrcd ON the lakes is ia" shat

RAIL WAY RUMBLES.

Over 500 miles of railway, mostly
single line, are owned and worked by
the Natal government.
For the first time in it's history
the Canadian Pacific Railway com
pany has sent an order for locomo-
tives to Britain.
There is one great branch of the
government service where woman
has yet to enter. That is the railway
mail service. There are about 25,OOO
employees in this bEanch of the postal
department.
Iron ore was loaded recently at
the Chicago & Northwestern docks
at Ashland, Wis, at the tremendous
rate of speed of 5000 tons an hour.
The exact figures were 5000 tons in
one hour and eight minutes, the ore
being loaded into the steamer James
II. Hoyt, which is built with spe-
cial view to rapid loading and un-
loading.
The Chicago G. Alton railway has de-
cided that the wooden platforms
around its stations must be abol-
ished in the interests of safety and
durability. They will, as rapidly as
possible, be replaced by concrete.
These platforms can easily be kept
clean and are much more durable and
but little more expensive than the
old ones.
During NJ. Witte's journey over the
Siberian railway the engineer who ac-

Travelled over by night. NJ. Witte, sus-
pecting something wrong, stopped the
train at small station and continued
his journey the next morning. His
suspicious were justified. He found
the line badly built, temporary
bridges, instead of permanent struc-
lures, and the stations not yet built.
The king of the Belgians has just

room. Then come the dressing room
and bedroom of the Princess Clemen-
tine, his daughter, and beyond them
two rooms and a dressing room for

is splendidly decorated and uphol-
stored.
