The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index of Columbus, in the current is- sue, has some interesting figures re- lating to material improvements in the two States. Among others. we mention the following:
 Among other things reported are: s44.250 ice factory and cold storage plant, Albany, Ga.; $75,000 fruit com pany, Marietta, Ga; $20,O00 naval stores company, Valdosta, Ga; $126000 water. q. church, 0pelika, Ala; $100,000 bond is- sue for extension of operations by Blr- mingham, Ala, mining company; thea tre, Birmingham, Ala.S shingle mill and lath factory, Ellabelle, Ga.; laundry, LaGrange, Ga; $2o.ooo school building. refinery, Montgomery, Ala; two depots, Talladega, Ala; repair shops, Valdosta, Ga.; hosiery mill.

WHAT ME EAT.

The Raleigh Times is getting into quite a philosophic frame of mind on the subject of eating. It refers to the many shams and substitutions in con nection with our food products, and the impossibility of always knowing what Is set before us when we eat, and then goes on to say:
 But after all, it Is a matter of taste. There is no more delicious morsei or barbecue trimmings. Mark Twain was once asked if he could ever become might. but that he would never eat an old friend. Any animal is served on the table in China. the rat being . deli- cacy for special occasions 1T the Cni- |, and the society reporters announced that. dainty or delightful refreshments were served we would know that they had a royal feast of rodents; s,,nasn 1t mign. gn man could eat . rat without standing in a chair or on the table. For no con s!deration would the reopie of India boast of our superior civilization, we regard nothing as being finer than a tenderloin steak or juicy roast. Yet, if we should invite Prince of India to and ask for a frying si.s kitten: Th. North American Indian was foolish about dog. So, after all. 1t Is simply matter of taste and something handed down from other generations.
 It Is largely a matter of taste, habit and heritage-what we eat is. Some times 1t may be a prejudice orNa fad that leads to a preference for one ar. ticle of food and a repugnance to otn- CTS. Many good people will not, eat meat of any kind either because they do not care for it, or because they be- lieve 1t is not good for them. If we had always been accustomed to eating horse flesh. 1t would probably be as palatable to us as beef now Is. We are not so sure about dogs. but some of the Indian tribes, in their aboriginal state. ate dogs. and 1t must have been because they liked the meat and not on account of a scarcity of animal food, for in those times the woods were filled with edible animals of all kinds.
 There has been so much printed of late about canned foods that most peo- ple are always filled with doubt as to the animal that supplied the contents of the can. Much of this uncertainty is imaginary, but we suppose it is d fact that we cannot always be sure that we are eating pork or beef when we think we are. It may be what we call for, but, again. it may not. If 1t is wholesome and palatable. what does 1t matter, after all?

The Seattle Post-intelligencer thinks MT Cleveland will find it hard to vote for a Republican for Governor of New York, to which The Portland Oregonian replies that he might find it harder to be sent to jail for voting for anybody in New York, as he has been citizen of New Jersey for some years. It is really difficult to think of Cleveland as a citizen of any State but New York.

Herchall Grider. aged sixty-three years. of near Roweha, fell asleep twelve years ago and all efforts to awaken him have proven unavailinx to this day! Dur ing that time. he has been given liquid nourishment twice a day. The mans pulse and physical condition are said to be normal, and his muscles are more supple than a man who has had exercise.

DIP X T s DENT ROOSEVELT'S
i letter to Congressman Watson,
oi Indiana, is a ringing cam

the hearts oi the Republican cohorts

man realize that politics Gin its best

vement OF vital and iar-reaching poll
cieS. We are not able to do more at
this time than simply refer to this ad-
mirable letter, and we do that chiefly
for the purpose OF emphasizing our
words OF last week wherein we urged
our readers to not regard the approach
ing election as an off year" politically.
If you believe in the aims and efforts
of the present administration. endorse
them by returning a Republican Con-
greSs. II you do not believe in those
aims and efforts, then onnose them bv
word and vote. But don't sit idle in
the day Of battle The American GOV
eminent is a government of opinions
and the ballot box is the medium for
the expression OF those opinions. Have
mind and vote it. To our Republican
friends we say-BEGIN NOW. Turn

large and representative delegation go
to the convention at Ocean CITY. Make
plain your desire to continue the gov
eminent in the hands OF the party that
has known how to do things and HAS
