ANOTHER SURPRISE IN COTTON.

Washington, Oct. "The
condition of cotton crop is 65:1 as
compared with 91.2 one month
ago."
This dispatch, marked "Bulle-
tin" and te1egraphed over the
Associated Press wires yester-
day morning is the climax of a
strange series OF surprises to
which the cotton market has been
treating the country for some
months.
Such a shrinkage of the crop
in so short a space of time is
scarcely parallel in previous rec
ords. 1t now seems certain that
the price of cotton will now re-
main high during the winter.
This is very important news
for Georgia. In our state the
crop will be fair, and if prices
are maintained at the present
level, the farmers will make a
large profit on their cotton.
Georgia will be very prosper
Gus next winter.

A NEGRO Colonization SCHEME.

1t comes to us by way of the
New Orleans States that an At
rican colonization scheme for
American negroes has been
agreed upon between L. S. J..
Hunt, an American who has
made millions in a Korean mine,
and Booker T. Washington, the
colored principal of the Tuskee
Institute. The scheme it issaid,
has the approval of President
Roosevelt and Bishop Henry M.
Turner, of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
According to the States, the
plan mapped out by Hunt and
Washington, several hundred
thousand acres of land near the
Nile river in Soudan region of
Africa is to be co1onized by ne
groes from the United States.
Millionaire Hunt is to supply the
means of transportation and
Booker Washington is to furnish
the negro immigrants. The lat
ter is quoted as saying that he
could supply all the colonists that
Mr.. Hunt may desire.
A few days ago, at a negro
mass meeting at Atlanta, Bishop
Turner told his people that the
only solution of the race problem
was to be found in the separation
of the races; meaning, as he said,
not that every negro must or
should GO, but that there should
be an opportunity granted for
the departure to a new land of
such negro men and women who
are self-reliant and ''have those
manhood aspirations that God
planted in them and which de-
grading laws will intensity"
1t appears from a published
statement of Booker Washington
that there are q great many ne
groes in the South who are will
ing and eager to accept Hunts
offer and that the 1attee's plans
have already been carefully ex-
amined by tbs President.
1t is perhaps entirely safe to
accept Booker Washington state
ment to the effect that there are
many negroes in the South who
would gladly embarkSon a trip to
Africa, or to any other country
to which free transportation was
offered, and for the most part,
they would be such negroes as
the South would be glad to get
rid of. We wish the Hunt Wash
ington African colonization
scheme well. Albany Herald.

Sudden Deaths.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. Kil1ners Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
sca1ding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail Address, DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle.

THE GREAT OVERFLOW
Life in the Flooded Districts of the
 South.

Losses Of life or property are meas ured in importance by the nearness of themselves to the scene of the calam- ity.
 To Chicago a rise in the Des Plaines river that should drown five persons would arouse more interest than a flood in China that might depopulate an en.ire city.
 And It is not easy for the average reader of newspapers away from tho scene tc grasp the full significance of the present overflow of the lower Mis- sissippi river. It means not only the destruction of many millions of dollars worth of property, against which there is no insurance, but the loss of many lives.
 In some places the river spreads out for more than fifty miles, roaring torrent, sweeping the soil from entire plantations. New islands arise in the river when the food has subsided, soon to become cottonwood forest, and as the years pass to be taken up as " ernment land, cleared, cultivated and swept away again in the future. Two men met on the shore of the river, and after discussing politics fer a 1ew moments one of them inquired. Have you seen anything of a cotton plantation down your way? Mine broke anchor about a month ago and am trying to locate it. i During the high water the govern ment sends out relief boats loaded with | provisions. To such times of ease and | plenty the shiftless fondly look for ward, but some fthe old states rights extremists regard it as paternalism.
 In front of old Colonel Peasey': house a government boat discharged l bacon and flour.
 Whats this for?" the colonel in quired of the captain of the vessel. For you" the captain answered.
 Who sent it.
 | "The government"
 Well, you take it away from herr and tell the government to mind it own business
 During the high water wild animal lose their ferocity and their fear D man.
