Campaigning In Missouri.

Two candidates for office in Mis-
souri, were stumping the northern part
OF the State, and in one town their
appearance was almost Simultaneous,
says Golfers Weekly. The candidate
first arriving happened to stop at a
house for the purpose of getting a
drink Of water. To the little girl who
answered his knock at the door he
said, when she had given him the de-
sired draught and he had offered her
in recompense some candy: mNid the
man ahead Of me give you anything?"
ooh, yes, sir" replied the bright
girl, "he gave me candy"
"Ah!" exclaimed the candidate,
"Here's five cents for you. I don't
suppose that he gave you any mon-
ey?"
The youngster laughed merrily.
Eyes, he did, too! He gave me ten
cents"
Not to be outdone, the candidate
gave the little one another nickel,
end, picking her up in his arms,
kissed her.
"Did he kiss you, too?" he asked,
genially.
"Indeed, he did, sirl" responded
the little girl, "and he kissed ms,
tool"

WHEN ENTERPRISE Says.

$1,000 ~ h1IS IL CA(lLC SOuS VI It's
out of town readers by the articl-
es recently published, calling
on our people to rally again and
pull Moultrie from the boys of
business apathy and jerk the sag
out of Moultrie development.
But other good towns seem to be
in the same state of apathy.
Triton is one of the best towns
in South Georgia, built on very
substantial foundation, but the
Gazette feels called upon to say
in it's last issue:
The number of empty houses
accommodating in the residence
portion of Triton is a subject to
challenge the attention of every
man who has it's interests at
heart. For the first time in his
ten years residence here the
editor of this paper sees houses
without tenants. True, the
nun Der is small, but there
should be rome. And there will
be none when we have COM
modious school building and
waste lands surrounding us are
opened up for cultivation"
Moultrie will soon have a splen-
did school building, but, like
Triton, we need the waste lands
of the county opened up for
cultivation.
Dublin has been considered
one of the very best towns of
Georgia, and it seems to be ex-
periencing a check in growth.
The Courier-Dispatch begins an
article in it's last issue:
What are the business men
of Dublin-the merchants, the
real estate owners and the bank
ers-doing about the industrial
development of the city?
Are they satisfied with what
has already been done in this line,
and do they feel that it is un-
necessary to continue their eff
forts for the industrial upbuild-
ing of Dub1in?"
The various manufacturing
enterprises are declared to be
doing profitable business and
besides put vigorous and health
giving blood into arteries of
trade" The Courier-Dispatch
says further:
The Courier-Dispatch can
hardly be called a croaker, yet it
would not be doing it's duty
should it fail to call attention to
the apparent apathy and in
difference of the business
men to the necessity of continu-
ing their efforts to build up
Dublin and Laurens county.
That this apathetic spirit seems
to have taken the place of the
old-time buoyant, enthusiastic
and progressive disposition of
the people, is noticeable to those
of us who have Familiarity known
the Dublin spirit for a great
many years."
And so it is in Mou1trie.
We have the same opportunity,
but after a rush and pull for
several years some of our citi-
zens seemed inclined to sleep.
while others, who love excite
ment, are looking for boom
towns.
Cordele and Fitzgerald had
their years of rapid growth
and then a season of apparent
reverses. This was especially
true of Cordele, but both these
towns have rallied their forces
of energy and enterprise aud
are now developing on broad
er and more substantial way
than ever. N1ou1trie will do so,
of course, but, as we pointed
out, a little concerted action,
a little judicious advertising,
will again turn the tide to pro-

New York Cotton.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened weak at decline of 8 to
20 points in response to easier cables
and the liquidation of longs who were
apprehensive of a better bureau re-
port than generally expected. During
the morning there was much excite
ment and activity accompanied by ex-
treme irregularity but in general
way the market showed weakness
partly due not no doubt to the feel
ing that a bulliSh bureau had been
discounted while the statement issued
by the bull leader after the close o.
the market on the previous night to
the effect that he feared decline L.
respective of the showing by today's
report, also caused considerable liQui-
dation. At the low point of the morn
ing prices showed a loss of about &c
to "A points. AS the hour for the
monthly report approached there was
a partial rally on covering by shorts
who preferred taking profits on the
break to awaiting the result of the
bureau and just before the statement
was issued SeptemberStood at 1851;
October at 10.46; December 1881;

reported average condition of S4!1

dation. In less than five minutes after
the report was read prices were down
about 20 points from the figures pre-
vailing minute before it was issued

OF course, there was heavy covering
on this additional decline which car
RED prices nearly a cent pound from
the high point of last Wednesday but
there was also aggressive pressure
from leading bear interests and dur
ing the afternoon the market con-
tinued to work lower in an irregular
way until September was selling

the close on room shorts taking profits
and the market was finally steady at d
net decline of 81 to As points.

Ware g. Leiand's
Cotton Letter

Raleigh. n. c., Sept. 2.-The fea-
lures of the week in cotton have been
the enormous profit taking on the
sensational advance, the change of front
OH the part of some of the larger
operators, and the monthly govern
,heht condition report. Around lie.
large blocks of cotton came on the
market and on Wednesday sales for a
lew IeXaS bulls were estimated at
something like 100000 bales. The peo-
PIE VINO were most progressive on the
slde OF higher prices at 9 Lee, not
only sold out but many of them went
snort. This has had a decided infiu-
ence on prices as we'll as upon Senti-
ment and professionals seemed moro
inclined to work on the theory that
too much cotton was being offered TO
enable the market to hold up above
10 l-2c. This remains to be seen:
Simply because clique of bulls a,
lie happened to be right it does not
necessarily follow that the market
must go down simply because they
have. changed their attitude. This de-
ponds upon developments in the South
during the next few weeks. Weather
in Texas has been very hot and dry
and thus far there has been very lit
tile relief. The government report
showed decline of rs points in con-
| dition during the past month-the
decline in Texas was Ia points-and
several State reports show that the
crop has deteriorated in a great many
sections of the belt Although the re.
| port was very bearish, a rush of shorts
| to cover cotton that was sold yester-
day and the day before held the mar
ket in check. Until there is a radical
change in news from the South, which
| is hardly likely at this season of the
! year, we would not be afraid to risk
the buying side below 10 lac, par
ticularly should there be a break to-
wards 10c. A great many who believe
| in 100000 and 11,500000 bale
crops, also believe that cotton would
| be cheap at 1Oc. per pound

subject no act has been drawn that

ceeds directly out of the developments

pointed to as straight result of the

In all the history of the Democratic

there is no record more likely to COM

prove it's title to these virtues, well
may it point to its record in this mat
