Jere King Returns.

Jere c. King returned yesterday from his vacation in the north looking hale and chipper. He says he gained several pounds and never felt better
 T spent three weeks in Ohio, In diana and Illinois," said MT. King, "and of course heard little else than poli- tics. Taft will undoubtedly carry Ohio, but there is every indication that Judson Harmon. the democratic nomi- nee for governor, will be elected. The democrats have fighting chance in In diana, but I hardly see how we can alai Stevenson, former Vice President, be the nominee for governor. MT. Stevenson stands very high in the state though with the conservatives.
 illinois is having its first experience under the new state primary law. The republican primary will be held next Saturday and the race between Charles Deneen, the present governor, and Richard Yates, the former governor, has reached the Hoke Smith Clarke Howell stage that we had in Georgia a couple of years ago. Both are good and able men, but they seem to have exhausted the English language in say ing harsh things about each other state administration behind him. but Frank Lowden Is turning loose barrels of money to insure Yates nomination"

THE JOURNEY.

THE JOURNEY. It's a rough road, a hard road, The road that we are vending, But falter not, lift up your load, Some day twill have an ending. It's a far place, a high place, The place where we are going, But struggle on and set your face Against the tempest blowing. It's a long rest, a sweet rest, The rest to which we're turning, Beyond lifes poor, heart-breaking quest, And doubly worth the earning. It's calm sleep, deep sleep, A dreamless, moveless slumber That waits where never mortals weep Or worldly cares cucumber.

Death of Bob" Lindsay.


 Few men in the private walks of life had a larger number of friends, or more devoted, than Robert Lee Lindsay, who died at the residence of his brother, MT. William M. Lindsay, Woodlawn, Sunday night week ago and was inferred tho following Tuesday in Oak Hill ceme- tery,' said a man who knew him yes terday afternoon.
 Immediately upon his death flood of telegrams and letters began to flow in from the west and southwest, his bus mess territory. and they are still com- ing. It has been my privilege to see many of these expressions of sorrow by his former customers and associates in business, and they make most elo- quent tribute. Written in the press of business, with no time to cull flowers ot phrase, they are hot from the heart, pal pitnting with love and esteem. And this is the sum of them all-he was man, judged by the simple but inf1exible rules which men apply to each other Honest, true, fearless and buoyant, Bob Lind- say was the life of the furniture trade of the great west, and his death has removed one of the most able and suc- cessful travelling salesmen in that or any other line. For IA years he was con- nected with the Haywood Bros. & Wake field Go. of Chicago, and was their row ing partner rather than a paid employe, so implicitiny was he trusted and so large the measure of discretion given to him. Indeed, his gift of salesmanship was little short of genius and to this was joined a taste and perception in matters of design and a business sa- gacity that were almost infallible. Last July an operation revealed the fact that he had been stricken with a malady which was beyond the skill of the physi- clan, and early in the winter his brother went to Chicago and brought him to Bir- hood had been passed, hardly daring to hope he would survive the trip. But Bob Lindsay was of proper fighting stuff, and for months held his grim ad- versary at bay with an indomitable will and a vitality that astonished his attend ing physicians.

Cotton Crop Conditions

The department of agriculture puts the condition of the cotton crop on July 25 at 83, as against SAL in the past ten years. Miss Giles says the condition of the crop was S65. She says her correspondents freely say the indications are favorable to a full yield, possibly bumper crop. The New York Journal of Commerce esti- mates the crop at 83.6, thus uphOlding the report of the department of agrl- culture. All estimators agree that the crop has gained in a months time at least two points, and that the pros poets of large crop are very good.
 But easily the crucial period in the cotton fields comes after July 25, ez- tending into September, if not through that month. No one is therefore justi. fled in saying there will be bumper crop, for that is a matter that will be determined in August and September.
 The condition of the Alabama crop is placed at 85 by the deparment of agriculture; at 87 by Miss Giles, and at S5.6 by the New York Journal ol Commerce. The crop in this state and in Mississippi Is rated excellent, but so it is in all the states, Oklahoma oniy excepted. In the new state too much rain fell Picking promises to be one of the earliest of which we have any record, and when 1t is we'll advanced we will begin to know what the out turn of the crop is to be.

 And promise fades out of the skies, On the days when you stumble, forspent,

 weary of strife And a shadow steals over your heart.

Growth of DepOSIt Currency
The per capita gains since 1900 are shown in the following table,

Gold in country. Nol lo'ol
 The growth in individual deposits 'n seven years was about 40 per cent, and an individual deposit Is but another name for currency. The man who can draw checks against bank account needs no other currency, and many depositors do not use any other to any considerable extent. So long as the deposit currency continues to increase Der capita the country will continue to become richer and more powerful. Deposit currency may be based on actual currency, but as a matter CT fact the former is often built up with out much if any use of the latter.
 A like increase in the coming seven years would carry the deposit cur reney to something over s2o0 a head, and that would certainly make this the richest and the readiest country in the world.

 Superintendent Lambert is consci- entious, industrious man, but with his small force of workmen-five men l am told-it is physical imposslbillty for him to keep the grass from covering some of the drive ways. He should be able, however, to maintain the principal ave- nues in high class condition. Elmwood, owned and managed by a stock company, is beautifully kept. And the city should keep Oak Hill in just as beautiful eondi- ton. 1t is up to the city government to furnish the means.
