FORSYTH Is STILL
BULL SIDE OF MARKET

FORSYTH, GA, Nov. 10. 1902
To the Editor of The Atlanta Journal,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:-AlIow US to call the attention
of your readers to a few facts and fig-
ures regarding the amount of cotton COM
ing into sight up to December LIST for the
following years, viz: 1880 and 1891, S.75
per cent; 1891 and 1892, 1898 per cent; 1892
ai9l 1898, 51y per cent; 1894 and 1895. 5O52
per cent; 1895 and 1896, 5007 per cent; 1895
and 1897, 54.s2 per cent: 1897 and 1885, 47.42
per cent and 1895 and 1899. 1888 per cent,
and 1899 and 1900, 4S.SS per cent.
Taking an average of the above ten
years we have 5056 per cent, or little
over half the crop come in sight up to De-
cember LIST for the above named ten years
IL we get up to December LIST so per cent
of this crop, we figure this crop at 10000 600
bales in other words we got up to Decem-
sight for the next two weeks 100000,
which is high estimate. We have up
to December LIST $4,000, II this is half
thee rop we will get l0,3OO0Oo.
This being a parallel year with 1895 and
1897, when 54S5 per cent came into sight
by December 1st. This being an unusual
early crop the ''come-into-sight" by De-
cember 1st this year should be something
like the "come-in-sight" Of the 1895 and
1897 years. winch would give US a crop
of about 10000, 600, the government figure.
With the above figures before US higher
prices seem inevitable as the requirements
are for IL to II IA.
Yours truly,
JAMES NJ. HARRISON.

SUGGESTIONS FROM

"a

is to yield personal preference on the altar
of party success.
Mr.. Hill cannot guarantee New York
His late position on government ownership
of coal mines is fraught with too much
danger to individual investment to make
his nomination expedient or desirable He

In support Of some one else than him

Mr.. German has been too long before

a certain state.
Mr.. Stone cannot win.
Mr.. Johnson cannot be considered.

being arbitrary but believe 1t will chal-

services to the party in 1902 as presiden-

There are several reasons in support of

demonstrated his ability to win. He is
a man of solidity. He has convictions. His
views on the tariff are sound. His posi-

1t sounds like a winning ticket. There

THINKS HENRY GEORGE HAD
ONLY PRACTICAL REMEDY

To the Editor of The Journal:
The Journal says: THAT a collision
between capital and labor win occur in
the near future nobody doubts
Labor produces all capital. There
should be no collision between the creator
and its creature. What is meant by those
who predict a collision between capital
and labor Is that IT will be between capt.
talists and laborers. But even this Is
not wholly true. The conflict is between
the possessors Of privilege-monopoli
and the victims Of privilege. Because
the privileged classes are usually capi-
talists also, they are in ordinary phrase
ology, termed capitalists. But il is not
through their power as capitalists that
they are enabled to Cypress labor, but
through their possession of privileges.
Thus Rockefeller, Carnegie, Astor, Nor
gan, ct al, are from 60 to 80 per cent
monopolist, and only from 10 TO 40 per
cent capitalist; yet they are classified as
capitalists Revoke their monopoly privi-
leges and il will be found that their
capital will give them no power TO OPP
press Henry George, in Progress and
Poverty" has shown the only way 10
prevent the collision between capital ana
labor, so-called. The people have the
option of acting on the advice Of Henry
George or accepting industrial servitude.
There is no other practical alternatives

SAYS MRS. EDDY
HAS BEEN misunderstood

To the Editor of The Journal:
The Journal Of yesterday says through
its paragraphs the following:
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy has decided
that Christian Science is not good for con-
tagious diseases. Perhaps she viii also
come 10 the conclusion, after awhile, that
II won't set a broken Leg
In this statement he fails to give the
facts and conveys the opposite meaning
from what IS intended. Mrs. Eddy says,
through an editorial in the Christian
Science Sentinel that she advises that
until the public thought becomes better
acquainted with Christian Science that
Christian Scientists shall decline to doc
tor infectious or ntagious Diseases"
She also says in Science and Health, page
400, Until the advancing age admits the
efficacy and supremacy OF Mind il is bet
ter to leave the adjustment of broken
bones and dislocations to the fingers Of
a surgeon, while you confine yourself
chiefly to mental reconstruction and the
prevention of Inflammation or protracted
confinement"
This is by no means an admission that
Christian Science is not potent remedy
for contagious disease; but that through
the healing of the many other Ills that
mortals are heir to. the public mind is to
be educated up to an understanding that
Christian Science is powerful in over
coming all diseases.
Many, many cases of Christian Science

CLEVELAND AND HARRISON

To the Editor Of The Journal:
The recent elections throughout the
country have demonstrated that the

They have also demonstrated, without
the suggestion of personal reflection, that

being considered for presidential leader

vention.

President McKinley's cabinet in a series
of articles published in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post gives new in
sight into the character Of the late presi-
dent, and handles his subject in such
manner as to give to the articles an alb

stinct and training, made a special study
of Mr.. McKinley-his marked character
istics as we'll as habits that went almost
unpoticed by less keen eyes-and this re-
search was conducted under circumstances
that made it doubly effective. AS post
master general, Mr.. Smith probably had
more intimate relations with Mr.. McKin-
ley than any other cabinet officer. The
postmaster general in the cabinet enjoys
an intimacy with the executive by reason
of a close association with him in the
matter of details in departmental super
vision. The postmaster general it is

A CONFEDERATE
ROSTER FOR GEORGIA

To the Editor of The Journal:
There is now pending bill before the
legislature, receiving scarcely any notice
at all, and yet it embodies as much Of
Georgia's soul as can repose in her heart
of honor. That bill is to provide for
state roster containing the names Of the
noble boys that enlisted in her service
during the civil war from 1851 to 1865.
Other states have completed their rosters
and honored their heroes, but the cruel
hand of Georgia's neglect has stabbed
the heart of every home within it's bord-
ers. The southern soldier is recognized
as the most chivalrous character of hui
man civilization, and Georgia's troops the
bravest of the brave. Then, why not
record his name upon the pages of the
same history that heralded his noble
deeds? 1t is the duty of the legislature,
as viewed from the standpoint of one who
loves his native state, one who is Jealous
of her good name and priceless virtues
one who recognizes the sacred obligations
she owes her noble sons, that laid their
all upon the altar of self-sacrifice and
their countrys honor to pass bill max
ing an appropriation for the specific pur-
pose Of having the enlistment OF her
troops correctly and thoroughly enrolled
upon her record.
When a bill is passed making provision
for this purpose, appointment is made Of
some loyal spirit who will faithfully do the
work, appropriation allowed to defray the
expenses of the service, then only will
the state have dealt nobly, honorably
and justly with her living and dead he
roes. Is there not enough patriotism pulls
ing the breast of our representative man
hood to rally to the support and passage
of such a bill and win honor for both
themselves and our grand old slater

HATTIESBURG'S INDIFFERENCE.

lady said yesterday: "WhaC use
has Hattiesburg for any more enter
prises than it has? 1t will not take ad-
vantage of those it has and if others
should come it would be the same way.
Jackson is making all kinds of prepare
tons to run an excu1 sion train from
that city to Mobile and of course in
time Mobile will retaliate by running
one from that city to Jackson. They
will pass Hattiesburg like it was a
crooked place in the road, but will take
on all the people here they can get to go
to Mobile to do their trading in that
city. venture to say hundreds Of dol
lars of Hattiesburg money will be left in
Mobile on this occasion.
And the lady is about right. Instead
of this excursion running from jackson
to Mobile there should be two excur-
sions, one from Mobile to Hattiesburg
and the other from jackson to the same
place, thus concentrating the two cities
here. But will our merchants and bust.
ness men do it? Not much, ct least
they have not heretofore. We gave one
ban becue-to some northern editors
but we generally spend the fourth of
July at Laurel, Christmas in some other
town and other holidays at a distance
Here we have three roads running into
the city and another that will be COM
pleted here soon, but not an excursion
yet has been run to this place through
the efforts of our people, though one
should be run nearly every week.
If Hattiesburg in some respects eyer saw
y snail it must nave met tit did not
overtake it.
