Charles Winston Thomnson.

The death of Congressman Thomp-
son had been foreshadowed by recent
dispatches. He became a victim of
typhoid pneumonia, being the sixth
member of the fifty-eighth congress to
die.
The dead congressman was born in
Macon county, near Tuskegee, and his
active years were spent in the county
of his birth. Although still a young
man, he had achieved fine business
reputation, and had served his county
as school commissioner his senatorial
district as senator, and his congress
sional district as a representative at
Washington. He began his congress
sional service in the fifty-seventh con-
gress, and when he died he was serv-
ing out his second term. If he had
lived no doubt higher honors were in
store for him.
In both public and private life he
was skillful and untiring, and success
almost invariably crowned his efforts.
Although he had served but one full
congressional term, yet he had become
well known and influential at Washing
ton. His untimely death cuts short
a career tnat promised to be effective
and even brilliant.
Macon county will feel the lost of
its most distinguished citizen, and
throughout the state his death will be

Death of Henry Richardson.

The death of Henry Richardson was
not unexpected. He was stricken down
in November, 1902, by incurable dis
ease, and death released him from
human suffering on Saturday last He
was but 45 years old.
No man in Georgia was more widely
known or more beloved than Henry
Richardson. He was born in Georgia,
and his entire career was known to
all Georgians. Although he was adj
mitted to the bar yet the practice of
the law never won his heart, and he
soon joined the ranks of the news

To his friends he was very dear and

Sanitation at the Isthmus.

It is reasonably well settled that the
south will not be drawn upon for la
borers in the digging of the Isthmus
canal. The south has no labor it can
spare for such a purpose or for any
purpose outside its own limits The
canal diggers will either be negroes
drawn from Jamaica and other West
Indian islands, or, failing these, coolies
will be engaged in China, where there
are waiting millions. Either can stand
the climate at the isthmus. The
COLES would be drawn from the
neighborhood of Canton, which is al
most as hot as the isthmus. Jamaica.
too, has similar climate. No negroes
will be taken from our own states.
Sanitary science will have, however,
a difficult problem to handle at the
isthmus, even if laborers be drawn
from Canton or Jamaica. Colon is To-
Gated on marshy coral island and in
its population of 5000 there are but
800 whites. The rest are chiefly ne

built on sanitary principles, and this

full of stagnant pools, mosquitoes and
fevers. Panama is not much better.

RI lite In the distance are located IS
small villages. DR.. Perry thus des-
cribes these villages:
The inhabitants are almost exclusively
negroes and Chinese. All the villages are
extremely filthy, with no sanitary regula-
tions or restrictions, no sewers or water
supply except that furnished by rain wa
ter or small springs or streams. The
focal matter is simply deposited on the
ground in the streets or the most con-
venient spots, to be removed by the rains,
buzzards, or hogs. Refuse of all kinds
accumulates or is dumped into the streets
to await removal by the elements of ma
ture or the scavengers mentioned above.
Mosquitoes are plentiful, and breeding
places exist In abundance, and malarial

Books That Were Read.

In the February number of the Critic
Miss Monroe shows that twenty-eight
books published in this country in the
last five years have each had a circula-
ton exceeding 100000 copies. David
Haram" leads off with sales aggregat-
ing $4,000 copies, and next came
BLACK Rock" Richard Caryel," "The
Crisis when Knighthood Was in
Flower" and "Eben Holden" each of
with scored sales of 100000 copies.
We need not follow out the list.
The Knoxville Sentinel has analysed
Miss Monroe's list, and it finds that
the sales of books written by southern
authors foot up 2,273,000, while the
books written by northern and eastern
writer's sold to the extent of 1902, 00o
copies, and those Of the western writ
ers 1,250,000 copies. And the Sentinel
does not even lay claim to Winston
Churchill, who is more southern than
northern or western.
The sales OF modern books go to
show that modern literature has a
good foothold in the south, and that in
time we will have another Sidney La
nier, or Edgar Allen Poe. The TWEEN
ty-eight books named by Miss Monroe
will not be read very long, and not
one of them is an Immortal" Not
one of them will be read as long as
Joel Chandler Harris "Uncle Remus, .
but the books written in the south are
at any rate as good as those written
elsewhere in this country.

JAPAN IDEAL CLUB LAND.

From the New York Tribune.
Japan is the ideal club land. In this
country the club world has a good many
class and other limitations. But in
Japan the system has fiourished from
time immemorial, and enters into the
daily life of all sorts and conditions Of
men. 1t is no uncommon thing for peo-
pie of means to belong to from ten to one
hundred different clubs, benevolent or So
cial, all of which exist mainly to give
the members an opportunity for one fes-
tive gathering the more. In Toxic there
are five thousand different societies, from
the Red Cross to the Mustaches and the
Pock Marked, which explain themselves

Comments on Southern Drinks.

"Sazarac is the twisting. twining, tanta-
lizing terror of the novice, the soothing,
smoothing satisfying. soace of the unre-
generate biber," said man new to the
south last night in reference to this re-
markable drink mixed first in New Or
leans.
"Sazarac coctails are new to me, in fact
never met one until yesterday l want
to say that they are most subtle and
satisfying
Said another: Il tasted yesterday and
want to say that they are pretty but
powerful"
Said the third: Sazarac is subtle and
satisfying, 1t is both pretty and powerful,
but after the third one it is more than
that. First it is revivifer, a dispeller
of the hazy clouds that fill ones upper
story in the drab hours of the early day.
Then 1t is a divine enchapter that turns
the roadway into an agate sea, the side
walks to mother of pearl, the sign boards
to elfin fancies in the salmon pink and
mauve tints of the south seas
"Geltemen, that is the Sazarac coctaili''
But you forgot to mention the head
ache in the morning." said a conservative
citizen as the party adjourned.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
New Idea of Birmingham.

'I have often noticed articles in the
newspapers about Birmingham being a
great manufacturing city," said J. S.
Hammond, a newspaper man Of New
York yesterday, but the one striking
thing about the city that 1 have never
seen mentioned is its hospitality. We
have been here a week now and have
been shown every courtesy possible. We
have been invited to drink, to eat and to
see, but as yet we have not been told
about a coal mine, an iron furnace or a
coke oven. We came down here from
New York under the impression that ev-
cry man in Birmingham was an expert on
machinery or on iron-making, but have
come to the conclusion that the major
ity of your people are experts on know
ing what a man ought to eat or drink
We have been introduced to the Sazarac
cocktail, the oyster loaf and many other
delightful things we had never heard of.
My paper wants me to tell all l know
about furnaces and coke ovens when l
get back home, but SO far l know moth
ing of them I only know that I have
met with clan of the best fellows III
the world since 1 have been in Birming-
ham and as long as l can be entertained
by them 1 don't care If 1 never see a.
furnace.
Our baseball team has been accorded
the kindest of treatment since it arrived
here" continued Mr. Hammond, "and I
believe half of the players would like to
stay all summer. They same down here
with the idea that they would be looked
on with suspicion, but they have found
the same kind feeling encountered by
myself. 1t is true you have great town
but the town does not compare with the
people,"

~ DIDN'T THINK"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
If all the troubles in the world
Were traced back to their start
We'd find that not one in ten began
From want of willing heart,
But there's a sly woodworking elf
Who turks about youths brink
And sure dismay he brings AWAY
The elf Il dindnt think.
He seems so sorry when he's caught,
His mien is all contrite,
He so regrets the woe he's wrought,
And wants to make things right;
But wishes do not heal a wound,
Or weld a broken link;
The heart aches on, the link Is gone
All thro' II dindnt think
l half believe that ugly sprite,
Bold wicked II don't care
In life's long run less harm has done
Because he is so rare.
And one can be so stern with him,
Can make the monster shrink;
But lackaday, what can we say
To whining "Dindnt think
This most unpleasant imp of strife
Pursues us everywhere.
There's scarcely one whole day Of life
He does not cause us care;
Small woes and great he brings the world
Strong ships are forced to sink.
And trains from iron tracks are hurled
BY stupid Didn't think"
When brain is comrade to the heart,
And heart from soul draws grace,
II didn't think" will quick depart
For lack of resting place.
If from that great unselfish stream
The Golden Rule we drink.
Well keep Gods laws and have no cause
To say Il didn't think

understand that the chances of the city
securing the institution are indeed bright.
All of the citizens are deeply interested
in the movement. These colleges are
gredt advantages to cities. Twenty
seven years ago the small but substantial
town of Gainesville, Tenn. decided to
put in its bid for the South Eastern
university. The citizens subscribed $4,000
with the agreement that the institution
should educate yearly ten Clarksville
boys. Since the establishment of the
university go boys have been educated

From the New York Commercial.


~ COMMUNICATION to the Com
WI mercial from a prominent bus
inesss man of Columbus, Miss
issippi. seeks to correct a somewhat pre-
valent Impression in other sections of the
country that the present industrial and
commercial activity in the south and the
unusual measure of prosperity there are
due directly to the high prices at which
the last cotton crop was sold. He points
out that intensive farming and the wide
spread and rapid development of indus
ready established the sure foundations of
a stable prosperity long before cotton took
its sudden turn upward and piled a hum
dred millions dollars more into the lap of
the south"
His analysis of the business situation
there is unquestionably correct. The
mere sending of an unusual amount of
cotton during the past ten months could
not by any possibility have induced the
6tHtldl dCilNlty anu PiOoPVilAy thoN hOW
exists there. 1t takes new capital much
longer than that to turn around" And
it is only a superficial view of the situa-
ton that keeps cotton still enthroned as
king and controlling the entire bust
ness situation in the south. President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way company sustains the opinion of
our Columbus correspondent when he
says in an interview in the Sun that the
$500, 100000 that the cotton crop has taken
into the south is not the only factor in
ducing the general prosperity there. He
explains:
With the possible exception of iron man
ufacturing, which Is dull there as else
where. practically all the industries OF
money into the south from tthe sales of
the south are in a really flourishing con-
dition, The best thing perhaps
about the prosperity of the south is that
it bears no resemblance to forced or boom
prosperity. The south was rather behind
the rest of the country for some years
and did not participate in the remarkable
but perhaps too rapid development noted
elsewhere Its present prosperity is of
the steady. natural and well-grounded
kind, which leads to the belief that it has
nothing of the temporary about it. but
will go on quietly and persistently max
ing that part of the country powerful.
Everywhere the banks have more money
on hand than they can find good use for.
If you take the clearings of banks the
country over you will find. perhaps, de-
creases In other sections, but in the south
the clearings are greater than ever, anG
this is a sign of the times with them.
That is where the extra revnue from
the cotton crop is largly-in the southern
banks Much of 1t is not actively EN-
ployed as yet. The really phenomenal ac-
tivity there would most likely be in evil
dence now had the price of cotton last
year been only about normal. The south
is not only making cotton goods in her
many factories but is manufacturing her
iron, timber. stone and other raw ma
terials into the finished products that she
herself both consumes and exports. She
has already established good home mar
ket for her home products-is no longer
forced TO send her good money" abroad
for most of her necessities. She keeps it
at home-circulates it there, lends 1t there.

Money Market Easy.

Henry Clews & Co weekly letter has
this to say on the money market:
1.-The money market continues easy.
Funds are returning freely from the in
terror. bank reserves are high, specula-
tive demands are light and ordinary bus
mess requirements strictly moderate. The
prospects are for easy money until the
new movement begins. except of course
the usual strlngency incidental to April
l. With the breakup of winter general
business should become more active and
transportation revive. Following this we
should have better railroad earnings than
in January and February; besides which
it is about time for the western roads
to feel the economies expected from the
heavy OUTLAWS of the last three or four
years and which are now nearly complet-
ed. This week the war in the far east
has not been a factor, but more decisive
events may be expected before very long,
and these are sure to influence the for
eign financial markets. and by sympathy
this market also. Many of the financial
leaders are absent on their customary
spring outings When they return fresh
activity may accompany the making of
new plans. 1t must not be forgotten,
also. that many good securities have had
a severe fall, reaching a five per cent
basis, and Notwithstanding any business
reaction thus far experienced Stocks are
generally held in strong hands, not by
a scattered public, and with the approach
of spring 1t will be well to remember the
advice of a noted operator who once said,
Never sell short when the sap is rising.
