GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR COTTON

The Agricultural Department of
Georgia is Of the opinion that the
yield of cotton in this state this
year will not be more than 90 per
cent. of an average crop. There
are good reasons for thinking the
opinion is a sound one. The rains
have been long continued and they
have done a vast amount of dam
age. And the prospect of a spell
of dry weather isn't promising,
In the lowlands many fields of
cotton have been abandoned. The
grass has taken the cotton and it
is too late now to rescue it, even if
the ground were fit to be cultiyat-
ed. The land is too wet for the
pillow or hoe.
And the wet weather has been
productive of diseases of one kind
and another. In our dispatches
yesterday it was stated that the
farmers in parts of the state were
complaining of black root. That
is a disease due to too much rain.
And even on high ground the cot
ton is not looking well. 1t is suf-
ering from too much water and is
getting too little sunshine.
And it is probable that the fer
tilizer, on which the plant is so
largely dependent, isn't doing very
much good. The rains have
washed it away from the reach of
the plant.
There are spots in the state
where cotton is looking remark
ably well, so well, in fact, that
above an average crop is predicted,
but it is safe statement that more
acres have been abandoned than
there are acres that will yield above
an average crop.
And the corn crop isn't promis-
ing. Indeed, in many localities,
it appears to be in a worse condi-
ton than cotton. From neither
corn nor cotton can an average
crop be expected. The most favor
able weathef now couldn't do
either great deal of good. The
damage that has been done can
not be repaired Savannah News.

FAITHFUL TO pusLlcIourY.

1t is matter of great lsatisfac-
ton to the friends of our faithful
representative, Hon. E. B. Lewis,
that in all his course in Congress,
covering a period of nearly ten
years, during which time he has
lost exceedingly few legislative
days, and has recorded his vote on
every public question of any mo-
ment, never lodging issues, but
manfully meeting it in every in
stance. His opponent can find no
votes cast by him ON which to
criticise.
Mr.. Lewis has stood with the
majority of the Georgia delega-
ton in congress and the leaders of
the democratic party on all public
issues.
No district in Georgia is more
ably and faithfully represented
than the Third. Mr.. Lewis is al
ways at his post and has been a
willing servant of the people who
have honored him. He never
permits letter to 60 unanswered
or request unattended to, and the
poorest of his constituents receive
the same consideration at his hands
as the richest.
Mr.. Lewis is faithful and able,
and his opponents cannot cite a
single instance where he has been
derelict in his duty. His oppo-
nent's only argument is that he
himself is the only man capable OF
representing the district, and while
he has been thus ascribing himself
from one end of the Third district
to the other, Mr.. Lewis has gone
right on serving the people in his
accustomed way.
The people of the grand old
Third appreciate Mr.. Lewis and
he will be our next representative.

SAVE PART OF WHAT is MADE

Among other substantial evi-
dences of something more than
commercial advance in the South,
that of greater thriftiness is becom-
ing quite noticeable. When the
character of the people is consid-
cred, it is Rot surprising that this
should have been one of the last
to develop, for the Southerner has
always been a free spender, not
fully approaching how easily, by
a little self denial, that independ-
ence he loves so well could be made
to come, not alone from wealth in
herited, but from that personally
acquired by hard work.
The genius to make much mon
ey, is given to the few, but the
will power to save some part of
that which is made belongs to the
many, and its exercises in the
South by the many will make us a
rich people.
Every dime, every dollar now
saved by Americas workers can
be made to begin to produce, and
in the safest way. Americas has
number of perfectly sound banks
which pay as high rate of inter
est as can be prudently paid.
Periodical statements showing
their condition are published.
Their growth is gratifying, because
it is sure evidence that our peo-
pie are beginning to lay by some
portion of their earnings.
Let the steady habit of saving
some small part be acquired and
the good results will become so ap-
parent that the habit will soon be
a fixed one, and a real start in life
will be begun. Encouragement
will come from growth.

The Wall street spectators are
perturbed over the large amount
of money which is being devoted
to the exploitation of real estate
schemes throughout the country.
Every dollar that goes into realty
is dollar out of the street, hence
the wall which is now going up.
Real estate is the safest of all in
Vestments, and while there may
be losses where such investment is
carried to excess, there is always
chance that the owner may come
off better than if he were to put
himself at the mercy of a lot of
stock gamblers.

was covered with crusts as thick as

mouth they began to bleed and sup

arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and

MOMEN AS - "
a. SOLDIERS
OF FORTUNE

Soldiers of fortune among men are
not uncommon-those who wander
about the whole wide world seeking
adventure, now mining in Africa, now
serving in some South American war,
now fighting duels in China or India
or where not, spurred on by an insa-
table lust for excitement. They may
do considerable harm or considerable
good and generally end by getting
themselves shot and so good-by But
when woman is cursed with the same
spirit she leaves a wake of trouble
that involves many other men and
women. She must use men to secure
those things for her which she herself
is unable to secure. Men must be her
tools, made to do her bidding under
the influence of her fascination.
In everyday life there are, of course,
many minor examples of this, but now
and then a woman arises who wanders
over the two continents involving in
her meshes men of international prom
inence-strong men generally thought
to be proof against such things. In
make history; today-well, they make
scandal. There is no walk of life, no
country which has not furnished its
quota of such magnetic, unscrupulous
women. Little German peasants,
French dressmakers, English govern.
esses and American shopgirls have
had meteoric flights and toppled over
men who have spent lifetimes of hard
work in making regulations for them
selves.
Career of Mary Boozer.
A few years ago a South Carolina
girl with the unromantic name of
Boozer-Mary Boozer, later changed
to Countess de Pourtales-stirred up
trouble in three nations and finally
had her head chopped off by the mi
kado of Japan. In her youth she was
said to be a most beautiful type Of
the southern girl. Tall, black-haired,
1.-THE of body, she had such color as
is given to those alone who spend
their early days in roaming over the
mountains and riding half-broken
horses across the blue grass country.
There was not swain in the country
who did not fall under the influence of
her sparkling eyes and keen wits.
Hardly had she reached maturity
before a duel was fought on her ac-
count-fought in her presence. 1t was
one of those bitter contests of arms
where two men stand before each 9TH
er shooting till one is killed. Leaning
against tree, she laughed carelessly
until one of the men fell with bullet
through his heart. And the reward to
the slayer? A kiss of the fingers, a
flash of bright teeth, and that was all.
In week her affections had turned
to some other youth, only to inflame
him for few months. But finally she
did marry. A young man proudly car
ried her off as his bride. From that
tiI1e on he was unhappy. He was not
strong enough to hold her in control
and soon there was gossip in the
neighborhood. At the country dances
where the two went she would pick
out the handsomest man in the room
and in an hour have him at her feet.
The hot-blooded husband was power
less to check her and could protect his
honor only at the expense of duel.
Then one day after particularly vi
