price of cotton brings joy and hope to the
Southern farmer"
"Mills, factories and furnaces are once more
sending heavenward pillows Of smoke from
their great chimneys, which tell to the world
that the gloom and dependency of a threat
ened financial night have disappeared. and
that above the hills the glory and beauty OF
the returning day of prosperity illuminates
every section of the republic"
''Bishop FalIows, of the Reformed Episcopal
church, has created an agitation of late by
declaring himself believer in the mental
cure of diseases. He designates his faith as
Christian psychology, and contends that
all nervous ailments can be healed thro the
influence of suggestion and auto suggestion
He proposes to unite the offices of clergyman
and physician in the great work OF healing
No one familiar with nervous diseases doubts
for a moment the value of Bishop Fallows'
Christian psychology, and the most dis
tinguished neurOlogists Of New England are
cooperating with him in his new work. 1t
seems especially timely to suggest to Bishop
Fallows and his co workers the Importance of
extending their labors into the financial world
The ''panic," which is now happily thing Of
the past, was simply vast nervous complaint
which attacked the nation, without cause or
excuse. Unlike other nervous disorders, it
was strangely and rapidly infectious, and
neither climatic influence nor lines of latitude
and longitude had any noticeable effect in pre-
venting a spread of the contagion There
was absolutely no reason for the disturbance,
and now that it is past and gone, it is well to
enlist, for future protection the kindly offices
of Bishop Fallows and his colaborers. Per-
haps he can add to his new creed of Christian
psychology that of fnancinl psychology, and
apply to the business interests of the country
the same methods of healing he has found SO
effective in dealing with individual maladies.
The country needs the immediate application
of suggestions which shall keep in future the
financial body of the nation well balanced and
free from that form of inexcusable nervous
fright which was largely responsible for the
recent money stringency.
Pun 70, FftzreEald OF Pull Out
Dire results of state prohibition have bee
cropping out almost from the first day. Now come
o report that will cause every man with soul II
him to sit up and take notice. 1t comes from AT
lanta and reads thus:
can interesting outcome Of prohibition is
forecasted in the fears expressed by Alderman
W. A. Hancock, of Atlanta, that the city
changing will be depleted as the result of
largely decreased number of violations of city
ordinances, especially those relating to drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, and that At
lanta will not have sufficient force with
which to work her streets the coming year.
1.-THE same state of affairs will doubtless be
found in municipal and county chaingangs all
over the state, and it will doubtless necessitate
tho expenditure of public funds in doing a
part at least of the work that has heretofore
been done by the chaingangs.
Gan extension of the same principle to the
state penitentiary will, doubtless, result in
another loss of reven ue from crimes of more
violent nature, for which penitentiary sen
fences are imposed, state has to let for hire,
and thus loss to the state treasury
The contemplation of these threatened calami
ties will stir the hearts of men, who know that W
must have criminals to keep up the streets of At
lanta and other Georgia cities, and the roads il
