TIE CENTRAL,s LOSS.

The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday that the connection of
Mr.. John M. Egan with the Central
of Georgia Railway had practically
ceased was received with expressions
of profound regret on all sides. Mr..
Egan has been connected with the
Central for about seven years, and for
more than three years has been its
president. During his connection with
the road he has made a record of
which he max well be proud. He has
brought the property up to very high
standard of excellence and he has made
hosts of friends for it and for himself
throughout this state and in those por-
lions of Alabama through which the
Centrals lines extend. 1t is doubtful
il at any time before Mr.. Egan be-
came connected with the road there
was as good feeling between it and its
patrons as there has been since. A
genial, whole souled courteous gentle
man, knowing his business thoroughly
and possessing the ability to handle
successfully the great property en-
trusted to his care. the Central under
his administration has grown greater
and richer and has taken firmer hold
on the affections of the people.
So much has he done for the up
building of the state, and so hard has
he striven to make the Central accept
able to the people, that the fact Is
hardly realized that 1t is owned and
controlled by those who have no con-
nection whatever with the state, but
who hold the property purely as an in
vestment.
Mr.. Egan likes the people of Georgia
and the people have learned to like and
appreciate him. They feel that his
severance of his connection with the
Central is their loss as we'll as the
roads, and we feel sure that we are
within the bounds of truth when we
say that it is their wish that his fu-
ture business relations. whatever they
may be, will not be such as to make it
necessary for him to change his res
idence to another state.

The keenest interest is felt in esti-
mates of the cotton crop that are made
by those who have acquired repu-
tation for making approximately cor
rect estimates. 1t is practically inn
possible at this time of the year to do
much more than guess what the num-
Der of bales will be, and no doubt
some OF the estimates rest upon very
meagre information, but there are cot
ton firms which make about as thor
ough an investigat ton as to existing
conditions permit before giving to the
public their crop estimates at the diff
ferent periods of the season.
One of these firms is that of Latham,
Alexander & Co. of New York. Its
circular dated Nov. 20 places the crop
for the season of 1904 at 10,30O, 900
bales. Last year this firm on Nov.
rs estimated the crop of 1923 at H.
600 900 bales As is known, it turned
out to be 1O,72S0O0. The firm missed
the correct figures by less than 100000
bales.
Last year. on Nov. %, this firm esti-
mated the Georgia crop at 100000
bales. The crop turned out to be bet
ter than that. the number being 1,470,-
900 bales. The firm makes the same
estimate for Georgia this year. The
chances are that it win come nearer
this year than It did last.
The reports indicate that the farm
ers in about all parts of the cotton
belt are firm in the belief that the
crop is going to be short one, and

THE NEwLANDs RESOLUTION.

The resolution which Senator New
lands introduced into the Senate last
Friday, inviting Cuba to become a
state of the United States, doesn't
seem to have caused more than a rip
pie of excitement in the Cuban cap
ital. 1t is true that there are resi-
dents of Havana who favor the reso-
have large property interests in Cuba.
The mass of the people are not tired
of the republic yet, and they have the
utmost confidence in the stability of
their government. They have got along
so we'll thus far that they are inclined
to the belief that they can manage
their own affairs.
President Palma was asked what he
thought of the resolution. He said
that there was no probability that the
Cuban people would accept it, or give
it more than a passing notice. In his
opinion they are satisfied with their
own government, and now that they
are about completing commercial ar
rangements with the United States
which will be of the greatest benefit
to them, they couldn't be induced to
think of giving up their nationality to
become merged in the United States.
AS a matter of fact the resolution
of Senator Newlands isn't timely. The
Cuban government has been satisfac-
tory and the people are really getting
along better than they ever did while
their country was colony of Spain.
Besides, the Cubans have hardly had
a taste of self-government. They
have great expectations from the re-
public.
If the Cubans should get into trouble
among themselves and should find they
couldn't manage their own affairs they
would be glad of an opportunity
doubtless to seek the protection of
Uncle Sans strong arm, but until
trouble comes there isn't any proba-
bility of their wanting to become an
nexed TO the United States. AS a
matter of fact they haven't any love
for the American people, notwith-
standing the sacrifices the latter have
made for them. OF course, there is
gratitude felt by the best class of the
Cubens, but the masses of the people
look upon them with suspicion and
desire to see as little of them as possi-
BILE in Cuba.

that the price of cotton will be much
higher than it is at present. They
are. therefore, holding some cotton,
Notwithstanding the present very
tempting price. Just how great the
percentage is which they are holding
is a factor in the problem of the to-
tai crop concerning which no definite
information can be obtained.
About as much cotton has reached
the ports this year as reached them
for the same time last year. If the
amount that is being held back is very
large the quite general impression that
the crop will be between 10.3O0,000 bales
and 1O,5O0, 900 bales is likely to be in
correct. There are those who say they
wouldn't be surprised at a 11,00O,O 900
bale crop, but their number isn't large,
and they are on the bear side of the
market

A Most Fortunate Meeting.


The two ladies who entered the car
by the rear door seemed rather dis
gusted to find that all the seats were
occupied and that there were hardly
enough straps to go around, says the
Chicago News.
That's always the way on the In
diana avenue cars" said the taller of
the two. They never seem to have
enough cars-never. I haven't had a
seat in a month-eXcept when some
gentleman was polite enough to offer
me his"
She spoke loud enough for three or
four gentlemen" to hear, but they
were apparently too interested in their
evening papers to notice what she said.
It's no use," said the other, with a
slight giggle behind her glove. LAS to
the Indiana avenue cars being the
worst, it's what they say of all of
them
The taller woman looked anxiously
about the car. Then her face bright
ened. Edge up toward the middle, :"
she whispered. We're in luck. There's
Mr.. Parker sitting over there. Move
slowly and don't seem to see him I'M
til we get right close up to him.
They followed these tactics until
they came to a particularly stout in
dividual who was occupying about
three linear feet of the seat space. Then
the taller woman bent over and with
a sweet smile said: Good evening,
Mr.. Parker"
The stout man looked up. ooh, good
evening"" he said with a fine assump-
ton of pleasure. Then he rose and
said: Wont you take my seat?"
Before the words We're we'll out of
his mouth the two women had glided
into the place he had vacated. Then
the taller woman said: How fortu-
nate that we should meet you!"
"Doubly fortunate" said the stout
man

Mischievous William Duboise. the
young son of Henry Duboise, moves
turtively about the Duboise house, in
No. 1919 Boulevard, in the Hudson City
section of Jersey City, these days, says
the New York Press. 1t was just this
way:
Willie's sister, Alice, who is promi-
nent in Hudson City social doings was
&C have been the victim of a surprise
party 10 commemorate her twenty-first
birthday on Monday night. Willie
thought it would be funny to misinform
all the guests as to what was expect
ed from Them and he told them in con-
fidence they should bring lemons and
pickles. The result was a sour disap-
pointment for all. When the refresh
nents turned out to be all of this acid
kind little Willie succumbed to the en-
ergetic spanks of Alice and mamma
and ever since he has been in dis
grace.
The girls and youths of Miss Alice's
set on the Heights decided it would
be a great idea to surprise her on her
birthday and they asked her two weeks
ahead if this arrangement would be
satisfactory. Alice was delighted and
said her father and Willie both wrote
such beautiful hands they would send
out the invitations for the dance in
Spitznagel Hall. But on Willie fell the
main task and his father addressed en-
velopes while he penned the bids"
Suddenly Willie's usually thoughtful
countenance expanded into a broad
grin. Had not his sister said, Little
boys should be seen and not heard"
and had refused to share her most re-
cent box of candy with him. 'Ha. Re-
venge!' Kissed the Youthful villain.
What more subtle vengeance could be
Wreaked upon sweet Alice than by
spelling the refreshment part of the
programme. So the lad inscribed at
the bottom of half the invitations,
please bring lemons" At the bottom
hand. please bring pickles"
On Monday night Spitznagel Hall
swung with bunting and piano play
er tuned up the antiquated baby grand.
Miss Alice, all rugged out in pale blue
chiffon, waited to be surprised She
was. Her friends burst in upon her
with packa ges of refreshments under
her arms.
Surprise! Surprised" shouted the
plotters.
"How student" gasped Miss Alice,
with an effort.
Then "Hiawatha" happened and Miss
Duboise's guests, or rather hosts, be-
gan a jolly dance. Mrs. Duboise and
q few friends took upon themselves the
task of arranging the supper. They
opened the packages. Lemons, pick
les; pickles. lemons" Not even ham
sandwich to vary the monotony
alice" cried the distracted mother.
She sobbed on her daughters shoulder
and the secret was out. In another
five minutes the friends had vanished
to neighboring restaurants and the Du-
boises were left to sob alone, and Will
lie joined in the chorus for a moment,
then laughed.
1t was a relief that Alice and her
mother found some one on whom to
vent their feelings. Willie got the
worst of it for five minutes, the in
strument of torture being the lime
squeezer. Miss Alice plaintively an
nounces she will never be able to face
her friends again without making a
wry mouth.

MIR. CLEvELAND's POPULARITY.

OF course we do not believe that
the Democratic party is going to nomi-
nate Mr.. Cleveland for President. At
the same time, it is doubtful if those
Southern congressman who have been
telling the Washington correspondents
that Mr.. Cleveland is unpopular. in
the South-so unpopular that under no
circumstances would it be advisable
for the Democratic party to think Of
making him it's standard bearer in
1904-understand the sentiment in their
respective sections in regard to Mr..
Cleveland.
We are moved to make this state
ment by the vote that was taken in
the town Of Moultrie the county seat Of
the South Georgia county Of Colquitt,
the other day. a representative of the
local paper interviewed sixty citizens
Of the town and county, business men,
professional men and farmers, as to
their preference for President. OF the
sixty. twenty-three expressed a pref
erence for Mr.. Cleveland, twenty three
for Senator German, eleven for Mr..
Hearst. one for Mr.. Bryan, one for
ex-senator Hill and one for Mr.. Roose-
welt.
1t Will be seen from this that Mr..
Cleveland ran neck and neck with
Senator German in the county of Col
quit. We do not know what a SINH
lar straw vote in other counties of
the state would show, but we are pref
ty we'll satisfied from the result in
Colquitt that after Senator German,
Mr.. Cleveland is the favorite.
We say that Mr.. Cleveland will not
be the nominee for the reason that the
third term sentiment is against him, and
the Bryan element, which is very
strong in the West. is against him and
there are other reasons that might be
advanced. 1t is true that he is well
which the Democratic party would
have to carry in order to get a ma
joritya of the electoral votes, but it is
doubtful if he is any stronger in them
than Senator German is.
1t may be said that there is a pref
~ DlS INGDuDuCdH NOlt llloA NOuld DC
cast for Mr.. Cleveland that Senator
German couldn't get. No doubt there
are Republicans who would vote for
Mr.. Cleveland, but who wouldn't vote
for Senator German, but, as rule, Re-
publicans who would support the one
would support the other. The Bryan
element, however, wouldn't support Mr..
Cleveland under any circumstances.
And that element is a power in a
number of the states.
AS we see the situation Senator Cor
man is stronger in the South than Mr..
Cleveland and he is about as strong
as he is in the doubtful states. In
the West he is stronger than Mr..
Cleveland. But what we wish partic-
ularly to call attention to is the fact
that if this vote in Moultrie indicates
anything it is that Southern congress-
men, who have been saying that Mr..
Cleveland has but few friends in the
South are mistaken.
