The South and Manchuria.

Our southern cotton mills do not make the light goods worn In southern China-at Canton and in the country supplied from Hong Kong. The En- glish and German mills control this trade. But in cold Manchuria, where thick cotton goods are worn, the American mills are supreme, and it Is said that 80 per cent of the coarse goods made in southern mills is ship ped to Newchang, treaty port in Man churia.
 If, therefore, Russia secures in any way, by railroad tariffs or by port control or by general dictation, domi- nance over the trade of Manchuria, the greatest single loser will be the south ern cotton mills. And our power in the case is as feeble as our interest is great. The administration may pro- test, but it will not demand the open
 
 door, and see to it that it is granted. It will secure more Russian promises, which are empty and valueless.
 If war occurs over the attempt of Russia to seize Manchuria to all in tents and purposes, it will come at the initiative of Japan. If Japan begins a war, England is pledged by treaty to stand by her, especially if France and Germany should attempt to take a hand in the big squabble over China. The United States will talk, but will not fight, and in the end we may lose all hold upon the trade of Manchuria.

Brave Soldier.

"One of the bravest men I ever knew, said Col. J. F. B. Jackson recently, was Thomas Jolly, who was a resident of Whitfield county, Georgia, and who served in Phillips Legion.
 At Gettysburg his command supported a battery, which was captured by the enemy, but not until Jolly had received several bayonet wounds. General Meade ordered him released on parole on ac- count of his gallantry.
 Jolly and a former probate judge of Withheld county, were sent on a scout into the enemys lines in Georgia, and were captured. tried as spies by court martial and sentenced to be hanged, and the latter was hanged. Jolly was asked to give information about our army, and refused to give it. He told his captors, You brought me out here to hang me, now you d-d towards, go on with your work General Steadman was so im- pressed with his courage. that he released him on parole.
 After the war Jolly was marshal of Dalton, and in trying to effect an arrest, was shot in the knee cap and lost his leg. I procured for him a position as f1agman at Twenty-fourth street crossing in this city and he died few years ago.
 q dld not see the occurrences here mar rated but have no doubt of their correct ness, and wish to pay this slight tribute to the memory of one of the brayest of men,"

"PLAToINIc FRIENpsHIP"

From the Cosmopolitan.
 The name "Platonic' Is not very accu- rately Nsed when it is employed to dis cuss the friendship of a man and a wom- an into which there enters no trace of amatory sentiment. Plato, in various treatises, especially the "Timaeus" and the symposium speaks indeed of a love which is free from sensuousness-being the love of soul for soul; but Plato, whose spirit was tinged with asceticsm, was not treating of woman at all, and in general, what he says upon this theme refers wholly to the affection of man for man, of the binding force of high char acter and honor. He goes so far as to say that the true lover is to be com pared with the true philosopher, rising from the contemplation or the many who love of the beauty that is abstract and absolute. In fact, when he discusses beauty he uses the word armost as the equivalent of goodness, that Is, sn an ethical rather than in physical sense. Therefore, "Platonic friendship" in it's modern conventional meaning, is some thing which never entered Plato's minc.

Mr. Carnegie and Tuskeqee.

The press of the country is dis cussing Mir. Carnegie's great gift to 1uskegee, and almost without excep- ton the newspapers in all sections, in the south as well as in the north, commend the gift as wise and far reaching. In fact, not an unldnd word in relation to. i. has appeared. All agree in saying that MT. Carnegie placed his money where it will do a world of good to millions of a race that has many obstacles to overcome
 It is a mistake, however, to think that the Carnegie gift, carrying Tus- kegee's endowment fund to million dollars, makes it rich institution. It must still go hat in hand. It is a large institution, the enrolment exceeding 1400 and the number of instructors being over 100. The annual expenses are $152,0 The students pay $50, 1000 of this sum, and the remainder must come from subscriptions or the en- dowment fund The present en. dowment fund will yield just about $50,OOO a year, leaving $5O,OOO to be obtained by Principal Washington in appeals to the people. This is why he is anxious to see the endowment fund carried to $2,O0O,OO0, which would place the institution fairly on its feet, although it would leave no room for growth. An endowment of $2,000,000 would, however, render the school so efficient and secure that there would . be no great difficulty in obtaining whatever other funds might be needed from time to time.
 The plan and general scope of the Tuskegee institute is beyond criticism, and the south is as anxious to see the work carried on on a liberal scale as the north can be, but the south has few millionaires and many needs, and Tuskegee is thus handed over to wealthy people in the northern states.
