No section Of the country has a
brighter future than the South.
The cities and towns are growing
splendid; factories and business
houses are increasing and charging;
the farmers are prosperous; new
settlers are taking up lands and
making substantial improvements;
all in all, there are many channels
in which are added growth and
progress, The South is substantial.
Its resources are many, and its in
terests are diverse. 1t extends a
hearty welcome to all who would
participate in its bounties .-South-

GOV. JOHNSON LIKE BARkiS.


Gov. johnson, Of Minnesota, re-
Gently made a specific declaration
that while he has not sought and
will not seek the Democratic nomi-
nation for president, he will not re-
fuse the honor il it is rendered him.
This statement was made in a letter
to Sam j. TurnbIad, publisher Of
the Minneapolis Swedish American
Post, who had asked Gov. johnson
for a declaration on the subject.
In his letter Gov. Johnson says
II do not believe that any Ameri-
can citizen should be an active, open
candidate for the nomination to the
presidency. Any American would
appreciate the honor which could
come to him in being selected as the
standard bearer Of bis party. While
! recognize that the press has much
to say about me in connection with
this high office, | have hitherto
avoided any public or private ex-
preston regarding my position.
Matters have progressed 80 far,
however, that il seems to me that !
should at least say in answe TO your
interrogation that if the Democratic
party Of the nation believed me 10 be
more available than any other man,
and felt that by my nomination |
could contribute any service to the
party and TO the nation, | should be
happy to be the recipient Of the hon
or which il would thus confer.
u am not unmindful, either, Of
the high honor which has been paid
me by the people of Minnesota, and
II the Democratic party Of the state
desires to present my name to the
next national convention | am sure |
would have no objection ; but even
if Minnesota were the only state to
declare for me at that time, ! should
still feel that the distinction was one
Of the greatest which could come to
me.
II have done nothing and will do
nothing in the way OF organization
to bring this end about, and shall
not BIO a candidate in the sense of
seeking the nomination. II, how
ever, those who have the welfare Of
the country and the Democratic par
ty at heart should feel that | am
necessary in this year Of grace, |
certainly shall respond to any call
which may be made upon me.
"In this connection | desire it I'M
derstood that in no sense am | to be
a candidate for the purpose Of de-
feating Mr., Bryan or any other man;
that the only consideration which
would induce me to allow the use OF
my name would be the feeling that
| might be necessary to the cause.
1T the Democratic party should
see fit to nominate Mr., Bryan or any
one else, the action would meet with
my approval and the nominee GER
tainly would have my unqualified
support, as | should expect his sup
port il conditions were reversed"

The Brandon News makes the fol-
lowing pertinent suggestions rela-
tive to the frequent escapes of trus-
ties from the Rankin State prison
farm: "Two more TRUSTEES, making
six in all, have escaped from the
Rankin prison farm since the trouble
there over the whipping Of a convict
by sergeant Rainey, who was dis
charged for it. The last pair rode
on two Of the best mules on the
place. Work all convicts under the
gun, feed them good, clothe them
good, house them good, whip them
good when they deserve it and hire
competent men to do the work that
TRUSTEES have been doing and the
troubles will cease"

A country newspaper recently
published this item: THE bust

business men called at the office,
paid up their subscriptions, and left
behind twenty. seven columns of ad-
vertisements, and told the editor
not TO pay any attention to foolish
stories.

IF our hearing were just a little
more acute we could stand by ma
lures growing plant and listen to
the heart as it pumps lite-giving sap
into the remotest leaf. II our vision
we're just a little more acute we
could watch the ebb and flow in this
life-compelling forces in the world
OF vegetation. II our sense of taste
were a little more acute we could
find the honey-dew in everything
that now seems naught but bitter.
The truth is, there would be no
bitter cups had we the power to ex-
tract the sweetness that fingers in
every grief and distills itself in
every tear. And that truth brings
to me a message. Sometimes | have
questioned II duty were not best
left undone since it brings SO much
pain and heart-ache. And then |
wonder il this exaggerated duty is
not the rational movement OF a great
spirit whose senses are far keener
than mine. Their eye has a vaster
reach, their ear listens to a harmony
where | can only hear discord, they
taste in my cup of gall a honey-drop
of which ] do not even dream
There is no exaggerated duty. It is
only the sweep of a spirit in regions
of right where | have not even
dared TO tread"

COiifCTfD GEMS.

1.-THE beautiful graces Of the heart
are best shown under the severest
stress. You never really discover a
human heart, in all the reaches OF
its capacity to love, until it suffers.
The most exquisite and delicate eff
fects in the great painting depend
very largely on the shadows. The
viyidness Of the tightening is always
in proportion 70 the blackness OF the
clouds across whose bosom it is
drawn. The paradox in the realm
OF spirit is power to commingle the
sweet with the bitter until the bitter
itself ia lost. You cannot shatter a
true heart. Each tempest gives it
firmer anchorage. The test OF a
great soul is the storm, not the
calm. lie who can face the raging
storm and not grow bitter and be-
come a cynic is the one that endures.
| had rather be the eidleweiss that
grows only when nursed by the
mountain tempest than to be lilly of
the valley bruised and shattered by
the softest zephyr. The flower Of
the hills, rugged and rarely praised,
is Of infinitely more worth than the
flower Of the valley, popular and ex-
quisite in its beauty"

Charging mismanagement on the part
OF the ousted government officials as
being responsible for the depleted
treasury, a committee Of young

The sultan refused to consider the
demand but promised TO mortgage

Loaded with millions stolen from

does not include the cash squeezed

selling it at the low prices offered by

was raised from 5 to 1sh cents.
