THE ROYAL PALACE
The royal palace Of Madrid is doubly
interesting just now, both as the place
from which King Alfonso goes TO meet
his bride and as the future home Of the
royal couple. The suite OF apartments de-
signed for the future queen have been
lavishly prepared with the richest art
treasures from the galleries of Spain.
But aside from this. the palace itself is
one OF the largest and most sumptuous
OF Europe and built on the former site
OF the Alcazar OF the ancient kings. from
plans by the italian artist Giovanni Bet

nEMoCRArIC PROSPECTS.

The prospects are SAID to be very
bright for Judge Griggs, chairman OF
the democratic congressional cam
naign committee, to land democratic
house in the fall elections. Some OF
the best informed republicans are APP
prehensive, and one who is referred to
as lone of the most eminent republl-
cans IN congress" gives it as his
opinion that "there will be demo-
cratic sweep IN the next congressional
election" The Montgomery Adver-
tiser, in discussing the party outlook,
says:
"Of course, such opinions are pred
icated on the apparent trend of events
now and recently. 1t is possible for
everything to be so changed that the
republicans will practically have 1t
all to themselves in the next election,
but it does not look that way now.
In fact, any one who keeps properly
informed must see that there is very
much more than lighting chance Tor
the democracy next fall.
eff this much desired cOnsummation
is realized the republicans may know
that themselves and their president
are largely responsible for it. They
are fast losing faith and confidence in
Roosevelt, because they have become
that he cannot be relied on.
On various occasions he has shown
lack OF prudence, firmness, consist
ency and moral courage. But a few
months ago he was looked up to as
model of craftsmanship and political
wisdom. His word was law and his
Judgment was regarded as infallible.
1t requires but a casual knowledge of
recent events to show that decided
change has come over his party, and
that they no longer look to him as
the fountain of wisdom and fine state
craft. In short, good republicans no
longer regard him as the man to lead
or even to point out the way for their
footsteps"

TILE PREMIER SNOWMAN.

Upon the death of Phineas 1. bar
nun his partner, James a. BAILEY
became the foremost Snowman OF the
world. Indeed, it may be said that
Mr.. Bailey succeeded to first place
even before Mr.. Barnum's death,
since the veteran turned the manage
ment of the business over to ms
Younger partner several years before
he was retired by the grim reaper
And now Mr.. Bailey is dead. Peo-
ple in all parts of this country felt
that they knew him. Every person
who was ever a boy or a girl loves
the circus, and each feels, or has
felt. keen interest in those who make
the circus.
Mr.. Bailey's death will recall a
food of circus "reminiscences. He
followed the business, says the Sa-
vannah News, from the time he was Is
wears old; he died at SO, several times
a millionaire and one of the greatest
organizers in the world. Mr. Bailey
began his career as a farm hand at
1925 a month, and his employer fogg-
ed him every pay day. His next
employment was that of bell-boy in a
hotel, and his third job was that OF
barker" and ticket seller with a cir
Gus. cold John Robinson" whose
memory we all revere, was his first
employer in the circus business. AT
q Mr.. Bailey was part owner of a
small circus, and from that time his
genius as a Snowman asserted itself.
While he was modest and retiring, he
was the handspring of his organiza-
ton. If there were difficulties to be
overcome Mr.. Bailey was the man
who could overcome them. His first
coup in the circus business was to
take his company to Australia, which
venture, it is said, cleared him and his
partner 81 10000 1t has been only a
few years since he took the tremendous
Barnum and Bailey shows to Europe
one of the greatest feats of the kind
in the history of the show business.
At one time the United States govern
ment sent a board of army officers
with Bailey's circus for the purpose
of studying the methods by which the
great number of men, horses and equip
ment were handled so expeditiously
and tents were erected and taken down
so quickly. Even the discipline of
the army was found to be no match
for the discipline, promptness and
steadiness of the circus people-train-
ed by Mr.. Bailey.
The orphans and the crippled and
lame children of the country will miss
the great Snowman. 1t was one of his
fads to have his circus give each year,
on certain date in April, a perform
ance for the benefit of a crippled chill
dren's charity, and at nearly every
performance orphans and cripples
we're the guests of the shows manage

Gen. NJ. C. Butler, of South Caro-
lima. writing for the Manufacturers
Record, makes the following forcible
plea for diversifying crops in the
south:
81 am frequently asked: What is
the cost of making a pound OF cotton!
NV reply is: You may as well ask
how long is a string or how large IS a
piece of chalk. If you will make all
the supplies on your farm to feed your
family, IabOrers and animals you can
produce cotton at e cents pound, and
all above that is profit. But If you
mortgage yourself, farm animals and
all your worldly possessions to Dor
row money to buy your food and fer
tiliZers it will cost you 8 cents per
pound more. Too many Of us follow
the latter course, and we can never
come to our own until we abandon it.
| have always felt more anxious about
the acreage IN food products than the
acreage in cotton. If you will plant
acreage enough to make an ample
provision crop the cotton acreage Will
settle itself. With food enough TO
supply a farmer for year the cotton
he may make over and above that
will furnish the best money crop in the
agricultural world. A bale of cotton
is almost as imperishable and indie
structible as a United States bond,
and when offered for sale it will com
mand the cash in gold at any time
one, two, five or twenty years after 1t
has been ginned and baled. y
Gen. Butler expresses a thought in

VEGETATION AND FLOODS.

Attention is called in paper read
before the American Association tor
the Advancement of Science to what
is regarded as an important illustra-
ton of the sure results of deforesta-
ton in the Apalachians. Near Duck
town, in Tennessee, the roasting and
smelling of copper ores have entirely
destroyed the vegetation over a con-
siderable area, including several bor-
der counties in Georgia, and left the
ground perfectly bare. Consequent
surface erosion is now rapidly remOv-
ing the soil, the slopes are Scared
with gullies, the waste from the steep
slopes has buried the former surface
along the streamlets, SO that neither
slope nor narrow iood-plain is of any
value for agriculture or grazing.
Floods on these streams rise higher
and more rapidly than in former
times, while in dry seasons springs
once perennial go dry, and others al
most cease flowing.

CUDDLE TIME.

AS the evening shadows gather,
Then it's cudd!e time, [ know,
When my baby, dressed for Dream
land,
Comes a-rOmping to me so;
Comes and begs of me to hold him
On nv knees and "rOcka- bye,
AS the purpling sun sinks lower
In the cleaning western sky.
And he cuddles to me nearer,
AS the freight softly glOws,
And across the dusky portals
Ghostly pickering shadows throws;
And two dimpled arms about me
Are clasped tighter for kiss
All, was richer, rarer necklace
Placed about ones neck than this?
And l clasp and hold him closer,
Little tousled head of gold,
As he begs dad for a tory"
Which a hundred times I've told;
Begs to have me tell it over
OF the quaint Red Riding Hood,
Or the bears-that happy family
Living in the deep, dark wood.
Soon the dropping, dropping lashes
Cover up two eyes of brown,
And the tOus ed head so golden
On my breast sinks lower down;
Lower yet, till, deep in slumber,
Cuddled close to me he lies,
With the glory of the sunset
In his sleeping, dreaming eyes.
In his eyes, in whose rare luster
Shines the beauty of the dawn,
Till | know that into Dreamland
NV wee golden-head has gone.
All. the sweetness of the pleasure,
Making life one golden rhyme,
With a dimpled babe to fondle
When it cometh Cuddle Time!

THE MINIMUM RATE.
Average Railway Charges Seem to BE
Near to Bed Rock.

Average IGdAl"aJ CAiNA SC7 DSSAAA w ~
Near to Bed Rock.
Capital is always timid: if it is
fettered or handicapped beyond the
point that it deems fair treatment it
will take wings and fly away. 1t
will not long share divided respon-
sibility with the government, said
Senator Elkins in his speech on the
rate bill last week. 'lt must be free
to manage its investments as it sees tit
inside the law. If the owners OF rail-
roads find they are denied the rights
granted other litigants in the courts
and cannot have the prOtectiOnsof the
courts in the management OF their
property they may not only consent
to but seek government ownership, In
order to invest their capital in some
branch of business the government
does not undertake in part to control.
Sin the United States we have the
lowest rate, the highest wages, and the
best railroad service in the world.
During the last thirty years rates have
been reduced from cents per ton per
mile to about seven and One-half mills
per ton per mile. On some railroads
last year the average rate per ton
per mile was as low as + mills
and fraction per ton per mile. How
much further this reduction in the ag-
gregate can go is difficult to tell.
Possibly if the grades and curves are
improved, better equipment and bet
ter motive power provided, the aver
AGE rate might be reduced to half a
cent per ton per mile and yet afford
fair return to the carrier, but surely
the rate cannot go much lower.
"When the Window commission
made its reports-and that is within
the memory of many SenatOrs-the
great question was whether the rate
could ever get lower than cent ton
+ a mile. Now we have about 6 mills
a ton mile on the average, and lower
still on some railroads. 1t has been
pushed down to that point, but L do
not know how much further it can go;
| do not think beyond five mills per
ton per mile. Already we are so near
the dividing line that the reduction OF
| a mill or two per ton per mile may
mark the difference between profit or
| loss. 1t is remarkable what an enOr-
nous saving there has been to the
people in thirty years in the voluntary
reduction of rates by the railroads
Take, for instance, the case of the
Great Northern railroad. A state
ment prepared by Mr.. Jas. j. Hill,
president of the road, shows that on
this single road in thirty years the re-
duction has been over 1919, 900, 900.
What saving to the people!
"This reduction applies to all the
other roads in the country, and the
aggregate of the saving to the people
from the reduction in rates for the
last thirty years reaches figures al
most prehensibe. This saving
was not the result of government reg
| ulation, but was due to the voluntary
action of the railroads. "

MORTGAGES AND SUPPLIES.
Ernm the Yaldosta Times


the above which the Times has tried
to impress a hundred times in the past
EIGHT or ten years. We have always
retarded cotton as the best crop the
farmer can plant, provided ne Will
make the other supplies needed upon
the farm along with it. A farmer
who can make his farm self-sustalnlng
can raise cotton at half the cost OF
farmer who mortgages his crop before
he plants in order to buy the supplies
which he will need during the year
while his cotton is growing. There is
no risk taken when the home supplies
are first provided for, because the
cotton crop will then be largely profit.
The proceeds from its sale Will not
have to be paid out in lifting mort
cages and clearing away the debts that
have accumulated during the year,
and the farmer does not have to sell
. it at the behest of the market or the
man who has been carrying him"
during the year
At the beginning of the present
planting season the farmers should
resolve to keep within conservative
bounds in pitching their crops. Plant
more grain, raise more hay and have
more chickens, eggs and turkeys to
sell next fall when the prices of these
things get high. Avoid debt as far
as possible, let some of the land rest
and pay more attention to identifying
the home and making it attractive.
Along these lines is increased pros
perity and happiness for the southern
farmers.

San Marine, the smallest republic in
existence, is reported to be threatened
with extinction from internal causes.
Many citizens are emigrating to Italy
and Switzerland every year in search
of employment, as the sources of
wealth in the tiny republic are limit
ed to wine, cattle and stone. 1t is re-
ported that there are only about /, 700
electors left, including widows. The
republic has an area of thirty-eight
square miles. Its principal fortress
was built in AL. The whole world
would hear with regret the passing
away of it's Oldest and smallest repub-
lie.

grocerymen and milkmen please leave

of things edible, with the compliments
of various dealers attached. This
couple will never starve as long as
thrift is at par.

THE QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS

The resolutions that were adopted
by the democratic mass meeting of
Terrell county governing the qualifi-
cation of voters are practically, in
fact almost identically, the same as
those that have governed the state
primaries the past several years.
There was no opposition to them what
ever, and they were unanimously
adopted. If there is a democrat in
she county who would have them
changed, or expects or would have the
state committee to depart from its &C
ton of former years in prescribing the
conditions under which voters may
take part in the state democratic pri-
mary, we do not know who he is.
These facts are related for the bene-
fit of two or three newspaper organs
that have cavorted much since the
meeting of the Terrell democrats.
