"A New York woman relates an in
teresting story of the American duch-
ess of Marlborough. The duchess. Ac-
cordlng to the story, was walking in
Blenheim Park when one of the viii
layers of Woodstock greeted her. The
villager had just been married and mis-
bride was with him. He had the bad
taste, after introducing the young
woman, to add: "A poor thing, but
mine own, your grace" The duchess
frowned at this inapt quotation. She
turned to the embarrassed bride and
said: You might say now of your
husband truthfully: "A poorer thing.

A RADICAL NoT WANTED.

Senator Tillman. of South Carolina,
in an interview at Charlotte, N. c..
the other day, outlined pretty clearly
the kind of a man the people want
for President. 1t was supposed some
months ago that Senator Tillman
would favor Mr. Hearst for Presi-
dent, but he doesn't. In the inter-
view in question, he said; Hearst
isn't the kind of a man we want. The
people of this country are tired of the
| radical turn of mind which is now
debating the policy of the government.
The President is an extremist and Is
trying to get the country into all
kinds of trouble. A war with for
eign country would exactly suit his
taste. The people are beginning TO
realize that he is unsafe in his policy
and methods, and that he is the wrong
man for the office which he holds.
The money men realize his unsafeness
and will not support him. If the
Democrats will nominate good, safe,
level-minded and conservative man the
people will rush over each other to
support him, and he will be elected
Senator Tillman is against Mr..
Hearst for the foregoing and other
reasons, and in favor of Judge Parker.
Mr.. Hearst is radical and would
keep the country uneasy all the time.
He would be even more radical than
Mr.. Roosevelt is on the other hand,
Judge Parker is a conservative. lie
would not step beyond the clearly de-
fined bounds of the law to carry into
effect a policy he might have. Every
the White House.
And it Is for that reason that Judge
Parker would be elected if the Demo-
Gratis should nominate him. The peo-
pie have had enough of the sort of
men that Mr.. Roosevelt is. Ever since
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in the White
House there has been a feeling that
there was danger that he would do
something that would get the country
into trouble with one or more of the
Powers of Europe. His integrity and
his patriotism are not questioned but
there isn't any confidence in his judg-
ment.
All of the administration organs are
endeavoring to create the impression
that Judge Parker is the friend of
trusts and that the trusts are behind
him. This they are doing because they
recognize that he is the strongest man
the Democrats could nominate and
they would like to prevent his nomi-
nation. OF course there isn't any truth
in the charge they are making that
he is friendly to trusts. They have
no foundation for making such
charge as that. They will say any
thing. however, that they think will
prejudice Democrats against him. If
he were friendly to trusts such
trust hater as Senator Tillman wouldn't
support him.

A weak Minded Lot.

1--WE humans are a pretty weak
minded lot" said Col. William Zeve-
ley, of the Indian Territory, who was
philosophizing, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York
World. Witness how man goes to
a racetrack to play a certain horse
and lets any stranger tout him off it.
II remember when Ash Ewing was
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Missouri
LEGISLATURE. Ash was big, a.burly
healthy man, with face like full
moon. One Monday morning Senator
Walker put up a job on Ash. He
hunted up half dozen senators and
told them to go to Ash one after an
other and ask him what was the mat
ter with his face.
They all agreed, and Walker start
ed the ball rolling. Good morning.
ASH he said when he met the Ser
geant -at-Arms. How are you this
morning?'
'Fust rate, Senator, fust rate
but, Ash, what in heavens name
is the matter with your face"
Nothing is the matter with my
face said Ash, rubbing his hand over
it. Nothing at ALL
six men, one after another, met
Ash and held the same conversation
with him. Each time Ash protested
there was nothing the matter with
him, but his protests grew weaker and
weaker.
when the seventh came around
and said: Good morning, Ash, how
are you this morning?' Ash replied:
'Fust rate, except for this blankety

SIZE OF THE COTTON CROP.

There is considerable speculation
among cotton crop experts . as to
whether or not the crop of 1904-5 will
be larger than that of the season
OF 1904. In an interview in Atlanta
few days ago Mr.. Richard II. Ed
monds. of the Manufacturer Record,
said he did not look for a considerable
increase in the South's output of cot
ton for several years for two reasons,
namely, the deterioration of cotton
seed and the scarcity OF labor.
1t seems that Mr.. Diamonds agrees
with Mr.. Sully that there has been
a great deterioration in cotton seed,
and, consequently, there has been
noticeable falling off in the yield of
cotton per acre. There may be some
thing in the contention that the cot
ton farmers send the best seed to the
cotton oil mills and plant an inferior
grade, but there seems to be a lack
of evidence in support of it. Inquiries
in regard to the matter have brought
information 10 the effect that the far
mers are careful to save their best
seed. They certainly get nearly as
much for the inferior seed as they do
for the best. Cotton oil mill men say
get the best seed from the farmer,
and it is safe to say that the great
majority of cotton farmers know the
Importance of planting the best seed
they can get. After all may not Mr..
Sully be wrong in the position he takes
exception that the best seed is sent
to the cotton oil mills?
There is no doubt that a larger
acreage is planted in cotton in the
South Atlantic states than there was
last year. Reports received in this
city are to the effect that the farmers
have put every acre they could in
cotton. Some of them have even plant
ed their gardens and front yards.
They may not be able to get help suf-
ficient to harvest all they raise, but
| II the season should be favorable they
| will raise a great deal more than they
did the previous season..
| II the price OF cotton remains nigh
| they will get the most of it picked.
They will be able to pay a price that
will send many workers to the cotton
fields that have not been accustomed to
so there. Besides, greater compensation
will cause the pickers in every COM
munity to work over time. 1t wouldn't
be at all surprising If this years plant
ing should yield more cotton than last
years did.

CANDIDATES FoR VICE PRESIDENT

Neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats seem to be paying any at
tention to the office Of Vice President.
Now and then a candidate for it is
mentioned by one or other Of the
parties, but the crop of vice presiden
tial candidates isn't large. For the
! Republican nomination only one cam
didate of any prominence has received
much consideration, and he doesn't
want it. He is of presidential size and
doubtless feels a little sore because he
| failed to get sufficient support to make
! him a candidate for the presidential
| nomination. The Democrats do not
| seem to have any recognized candi-
! dates for the office. The other day it
was stated that there was a candidate
cut in Washington. but he isn't known
here in the South and it is doubtful if
outside of few politicians he is
known in the North.
Why is it that so few men seek the
vice presidency? 1t used to be con-
sidered the second office of Importance
in the gift of the people and it is GER
tainly the third, if not the second,
now. The Vice President stands
chance of becoming President Some
of the ablest men this country has
produced have occupied the vice pres
dential Office and several of them be-
came President. 1t doesn't follow that
a man who accepts the vice presidency
is politically "shelved."
IL was said that Mr.. Roosevelt was
nominated for Vice President in order
to get rid of him. He not only became
President, but he is going to be the
presidential candidate of his party. AS
a matter of fact a man stands about
as good a chance of reaching the pres
idency from the vice presidential Of
flee as from any other position.
And it is a mistake to think that
anybody will do for the second place
on the ticket. Almost as much care
ought to be taken to get first class
man in the second place as in the first
place ON the ticket. Even if the Vice
President doesn't become President
there is need of an able and accom-
plished man as presiding officer of the
Senate.
The chief reason why the vice presi-
dency has fallen into disfavor is that
the occupant of the Office is without
political influence and power. The
President seems to be jealous of him
and doesn't consult him about any
thing. He doesn't allow him to name
even the postmaster of the town in
which he resided when he was elected.
AS a matter of fact the Vice President
ought to be in close touch with the
administration. Being associated with
the senators he might at times be of
great help to it. In the early days of
the republic the vice presidency was
sought by men of the greatest promi-
hence and they upheld the dignity and
Importance of the office.

A bit of gossip afloat in Washington
is to the effect that Postmaster Cen
eral Payne will resign shortly, that
Secretary Cortelyou will succeed him,
and that James r. Garfield will sue
coed Cortelyou. But why should Cor
telyou want to get out of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor? AS the
head of new and important depart
ment, he has before him the opportu-
nifty of making reputation that will
cause him to be remembered for years
to come. He would have no such op-
portunity in the Postofice Department,
but would have to spend most of his
time scraping off the barnacles per-
mitted to accumulate by his predeces-
sors. Mr. Cortelyou is doing very well
where he is, and should be content to
stand pat"

An intimate friend of Judge Alton
B. Parker is quoted in the New York
Herald as saying the Judge is opposed
to the idea of making an active can
vass, in the event that he is selected
as the Democratic standard bearer by
the st. Louis Convention. Judge
Parker, according to this friend, is OF
the opinion that, in the case of the
presidency of the United States, the
office should seek the man, and not the
man the office. The position is one OF
so great honor that he would avoid
anything that savored of or suggested
a scramble for it.

The three car barn bandits" who
were hanged in Chicago yesterday, had
in them originally the making of good
men and useful citizens. They were
intelligent, fairly we'll educated and of
good address. But in their youth their
minds became poisoned by the read
ing of penny dreadful" stories and
their characters were undermined by
street loafing and evil associations.
There are doubtless thousands of young
boys in Chicago, and in other cities
as well, who are treading in the foot
steps of Neidermeier, Van Dine and
Marx, and who, if they are not brought
up with a round turn, will end their
careers ON the gallows or in the peni-
Tertiary. And in many instances par
ents are directly to blame for the
downfall Of their children. The parents
are careless of the associations of the
children. They permit them to CAD
about the streets at any and all hours,
content to have them out of the house
and out of the way.

The Ancient Russian Mariner.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

1t was an ancient mariner
Who stopped a Journal cub;
'Unhand mel" the reporter said.
Thou art a fresh old dub"
"I fear thee, ancient marinerr'
The youg reporter said;
"Methinks l hear the merry buzz
"Of drivewheels in thy head!"
II am a ghost" the sailor said
In accents strange and low;
81 sailed from old st. Petersburg
About month ago.
Snug in our strong torpedo boat
For ten long days sailed we
We were the worst that ever burst
Into the Yellow Sea!
"And when we struck the Yellow sea
We went upon a drunk
The Japs attacked us savagely
And straightway We were sunk!
upon the bottom lay our boat;
Happy! Well, / don't think!
Water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink!
when we were tired of staying sunk
We rose with might and main,
And then the Japs would rally round
And sink us once again!
THUS were we sunk, my lad, about
Three dozen times, 1 guess;
First by the Japs and then by the
Associated Press!
And Hearst, he sank us fifteen time.
With much red ink and gloom.
So l have journeyed here to haunt
His Presidential boom!'

thought, and hoped, that the disease
germs in the cellars and similar
places had been destroyed by the in

Indeed, it would appear that the fire

In the Hudson and Connecticut VAL
leys. according to reports. many fruit
trees that withstood severe winters
in the past have succumbed to the
severe cold snap that began in
the Lake Region about week ago.
Peach and pear trees in the valleys
named are said to have been the worst
sufferers, many fine orchards being
killed. A popularity noticed was that
young trees seemed to stand the cold
better than old trees that had been
bearing for several seasons. So far
as the information goes, the Georgia
fruit belt is in excellent shape and
the outlook is for a large and fine
crop.
