RECORD PRICE FOR COTTON.

A new and gratifying record
has been established by cotton,
which has climbed to approx
mately thirteen and a quarter
cents, which is higher than it has
been, at this season of the year,
at any time since the civil war.
There has been an advance of
one and a quarter cents since last
week, and there is a healthy tone
in the activity which makes it
certain that the present high
prices will be maintained.
Only a few days ago Hon.
Harvie Jordan gave out an en-
,couraging interview in which he
said that not less than a hundred
million dollars would be dis
tributed among the farmers of
Georgia from the sale of cotton
and cotton seed.
Since his estimate was made
the price of cotton has advanced
three-quarters of a cent, so his
estimate has been not only con-
firmed, but in all probability will
have TO be enlarged.
Figures such as these are well
calculated to inspire the farmers
of the south with greater courage
and optimism than they have had
for a long time. Indeed, it be-
gins to seem that they are at
last about TO come into their
own.
II is now a known fact that the
crop will be short in Texas and
in many of the other cotton
growing states of the west.
There viii be a short crop in
Georgia, but perhaps not so short
in proportion as in some of the
other states. Thus the Georgia
farmers will get the double bene-
fit of high prices incident to a
short crop, and at the same time
viii raise a fairly good crop
themselves.
Every channel of trade has
already begun to feel the impetus
of good prices for cotton and the
belief seems well founded that
this is but the beginning of one
Of the most prosperous seasons in
the history of the state.

Cook and COIunlbuS---
A Historic Parallel

NEW YORK, Sept A.-When DR.. Cook,
amid booming of cannon and laundering
huzzas. was welcomed back today to the
country he had signally honored. great
historic parallel was complete.
The history made by the welcome given
in Barcelona to Christopher Columbus, on
April Is, 1883, repeated itself in New York
today. In many remarkable details the
parallel is perfect.
Columbus discovered America. Cook
found the north pole. Both had succeeded
in explorations which would go down
through history.
AS all New York united to do honor to
DR.. Cook, so Barcelona, headed by its king
and queen, honored Columbus.
The crowds in New York today saw DR..
Cook wearing rich clothes Of the latest
continental cut. They had been ordered
for him by royal command of the king of
Denmark
So Columbus. entering Barcelona, wore
garments made for him by order of King
John, of Portugal, whose shores he first
touched before reaching his own port.
Barcelona didn't have two Columbuses
as New York has two north pole discover
ers. Yet the remarkable parallel still
holds.
Is there a Pinzon in this discovery of
the north pole? II so, is his name hooerl
Peary or Frederick Cook?
You'll remember that Pinzon was mas
ter of one of Columbus boats. On the
way home, with news OF the discovery,
great storm arose. Columbus, fearing
that his boat would be wrecked, took
copies of his records and placed them in
a barrel and threw the barrel into the
water. promising that if the finder would
take the papers to the court of King
ducats.
PinzOn. seeing that Columbus boat was
