SENSIBLE AND TIMELYY REPLY.
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
In the passing of Major ]. F. Han
son to the Great Bey ond there goes
from among US man whose achieve
ments will live in the history of Ma
con, of Georgia and the South.
Recently he was asked: What do
you think are the important ques-
tons that any good citizen who de-
sires the true prosperity and happi-
ness of Georgia and the nation should
give immediate attention."
He answered in writing: Il think
that, all things considered, Georgia Is
probably the best state in the Union.
We want self-reliance among our
people rather than reliance upon out
siders. We should look for every
thing in our friends, neighbors and
fellow-citizens that is good. We
should cultivate a spirit of justice to
all interests rather than the unfort-
innate habit as at present of looking
only for the bad and exaggerating it.
This would make our people happier
than they are, and by practicing what
have already indicated the state
would develop rapidly. We are now
very prosperous; our people are
sound financially, and the state is
rich with unlimited prospects II the
attention of our people is directed to
its proper development.
These few words are Characters
tic. They constitute good religion,
sound morals and fine business sense.
A volume could not express more.

THE VALUE OF COTTON SEED.

From the Wall Street Journal
The farmers of the south will re-
ceive this year for the seed from
their cotton approximately $780,
100000, at least one-fifth as much
as they will receive from the fleecy
staple itself. Within the memory of
men still comparatively young the
seed from the entire cotton crop,
with the exception of the few saved
for planting the next crop, we're re-
garded as bother and nuisance and
were used to fill gullies and thrown
into waste places. Later, in their
raw state, they were used for fer
tilizer, and even a few years ago
when cotton seed crushing had got
ten fairly good start, 20 cents a
bushel was regarded IS an excel
lent price, and the returns were re-
garded as ''velvet" by the farmers.
The seed this year are selling for
40 and SO cents a bushel There
are in the south today several hun
dred plants for crushing the oil from
the cotton seed. Three large cor
porations are engaged extensively in
the manufacture of the products of
the seed, these three alone owning
nearly 400 crushing mills and quite
a number of refineries. These COM
panies are the Southern Cotton Oil
Co., the American Cotton Oil Co.,
and Proctor & Gamble. The scores
of other mills in the south sell their
crude oil to these larger companies
or to independent refineries and the
packing houses.

A CHRISTMAS BOUQUET FOR THE DAWSON NEWS.

The News did not receive anything
during the holidays that was appre-
ciated more than the following kind
words from one of the publishers of
prominent daily paper who knows
what good newspaper is, and when
it is rendering its people and COM
munity good service:

My Dear Mr.. Rainey: The almost
universal custom of saving boquets
for the grave has never appealed to
me very strongly. l believe in tell
ing men of the good they do while
they are alive and kicking and are
in position to enjoy the appreciation
which others feel for their work.

From the Savannah News.
A New Orleans boy of fourteen
has been sentenced to seven years in
prison for stealing a few pennies.
Some hundreds of years ago Scion
said that the law was like spider
web, III that whenever anything
weak and helpless fell into it that
thing became hopelessly and fatally
entangled, whereas if something big
and powerful struck the mesh it
broke it's way through and escaped.
And the law today is not different

Doing the Convicts a Favor.

Christmas gifts to convicts in the

DIR. COOKS CONFESSION.

DR.. Cooks explanation, as printed
n Hampton's Magazine for January,
OF his journey toward the North Pole
is convincing-not that he actually
reached the coveted spot, but that his
attempt was sincere, and that he at
tanned to places which were exactly
like the pole itself. His statement
that his observations were taken to
satisfy himself and to mark his prog
ress rather than to serve as proofs
before scientific geographers is a
strong argument in his favor. In
other words, he claims to have reach
ed the pole to all intents and pur-
poses.
Cook blundered, of course, when
he got home. The honors paid him
were not anticipated by the man, and
overcame him. He was silent when
he should have had the courage to
speak out. But his story, as told by
himself, is pathetic. Fair-minded
men, after reading it, will find diff
Guilty in depressing the conviction
that he would not have gone through
with what he did merely as means
to deceive the people. His effort was
creditable to his country, and it is
not unlikely that in time to come he
will be accorded more credit by his
countrymen than will go to Peary.

A great many eulogistic things are
being said by the newspapers and
prominent individuals of the jailer

The best thing to do would be to

Democrat. The Republicans elected
the balance of the state ticket, and

ture.
The Republican plurality was the
smallest. with two exceptions. since
1870, but State Chairman C. F. VIII

clared that the rain storm was the
