THE WHITE RIBBONERs.

Many of the good women, wives
and mothers, who read The News
in their homes wear the white RIB
bon of the w. T. c. u, the Georgia
branch of which has just held a very
interesting and profitable state con-
vention at Madison. We have sin
cere respect for the convictions and
aspirations of good women who are
striving to promote the welfare OF
society, to promote morality and
human happiness. Francis Willard
was a great and good woman, and
the organization she founded has
undoubtedly been a force and factor
in the cause of true Temperance
and wholesome morality We may
believe the white ribboners are over
Jealous in some things they do and
say at times, but their motives and
their sincerity entitle them to the
respect and goodwill of all good
people.

DOCTORS AND "ETHICs."
the Albany Herald.

/ From the Albany Herald
/ The doctors in Fulton county, like
/ the doctors in most other counties
have an organization which main
/ tains ethics on a high and holy
| pedestal. There's a sign on the ped
estal reading, Touch not" and an
other sign reads, Speak in Whispers
Here"
For ethics, in the medical world,
is a more awful goddess than the
ethics of any other profession. And
the thing that medical ethics is
strongest on is that it is wicked for
a doctor tosadvertise For doctor,
from the doctors view, is a sort of
angel. He exists, and a great many
people are supposed to be aware of
that existence, but just as an angel
mustn't hang a sign upon his neck
to tell the public in the spirit world
that This is an angel" so must a
doctor not put an advertisement in
a periodical to tell ailing mankind
that This is a Doctor Who Knows
His Business, and Will Cure You if
You Are Durable" DR.. George
Brown of Atlanta, who has been do
ing some effective advertising and
making money out of the printer S
ink, as well as medical skill, has
just been expelled from the Fulton
county medical society He treats
the matter as a joke. Having discov-
cred advertising he doesn 'trneed eth
les.
The doctors have magnificent
form of holy-phobia. They are too
exclusive, too antiseptic for this
humdrum world with its common
sense business methods and dollar
and-cents commercialism. DR.. Brown
is simply a pioneer. A hundred years
from now his profession will be very
proud of him.
The world called Robert Fulton
fool. It's changed it's mind since.

THE SITUATION.

The outlook two weeks before the
voting for members of the next con-
gress is far more satisfactory to
the democracy than it is to the re-
publicans.
The encouragement given to the
minority by the voters of Vermont
and Maine has imbued its follow
ers with the belief that nothing can
stop the popular wrath, and that
next month the democrats will
sweep the greater states, elect a
dozen or more of their candidates
for governors in republican COM
monwealths and regain control of
congress. The complete rout of
the republican party a score of years
ago is, according to the belief of
many, on the eve of finding it's repe-
tition.
fractional quarrels have done more
than anything else to weaken the
republican battalions in this cam
paign. High and low have taken a
hand in the scrimmage, and there
is not time enough remaining to rec
oncile the contestants so as to pre-
sent united front to the opposi-
ton
And while the republicans are
belaboring one another the demo-
Gratis are experiencing less friction
within their ranks than has been the
case in many a day.

PICKING nv MACHINERY

There is reason to believe that the
day of harvesting cotton by machin-
cry is near at hand-near enough,
indeed, to assume that this genera
ton may witness the practical opera
ton of mechanism in the gathering
the southern staple.
The announcement comes from
Texas that Mr.. Angus Campbell,
who for years has been a believer
in and has striven to produce such
machine, has at last achieved his
purpose The Campbell machine
has been put on exhibition in the
cotton fields of that state, and, ac-
cording to the reports, those who
have seen it at work say it meets
the need It is said it's practical
features have so impressed Theodore
H. Price, the great cotton operator,
that he has large holdings in the cor
poration that will own the patent.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. Campbell
will persist in his efforts and attain
to the pOint-a perfect and practi-
cal machine-he hopes to reach. If
so it will be an epochal invention, an
economical development of a highly
important nature. The importance
will consist not so much. perhaps,
in the decreased cost of picking cot
ton (as compared with manual la
bOr), as in the stable, the essential
ly reliable nature of the new system
that was the experience of grain
growers when the mower and thresh-
ing machines came into use and sub
planted the scythe, the cradle" and
the ancient fail and threshing floor.
And cotton growers had a like ex-
perience when Whitney's genius
evolved the gin that eliminated
manual labor in separating the lint
from the cotton seed.

Expensive Farm Dinners.

From Metropolitan Magazine
Not long since I lunched at a New
York restaurant. 1t was not the
most expensive place-but rather
above the average in price. The
menu card interested me as a new
schedule of rates would hold a rail
road president. AS a farmer | pro-
duced food similar to that offered
for sale, and l knew what I was paid
for it. A man likes to see what is
tackled on the thing which leaves
his hand Strawberries and cream
were offered at 25 cents. I figured
that a quart of our berries would
make about four dishes. Two eggs
served in various ways cost 80 cents.
You paid so cents for a half chicken.
Now, my family would feel poorly
used if we served less than four
quarts of berries. We could hardly
keep good natured on four whole
chickens.
For berries and chickens alone.
therefore, at these restaurant prices,
we spend 5000 at a single meal,
If we charge the prices printed on
this card for the salads and yega-
tables and other things which make
our meal we should have a cost of
Sl5, or more than $50 a day Of
course my family is a large one and
all are blessed with good appetites.

places, but if take the prices paid
by at least $4,000 people in New
York the daily bread" for our
family represents $50 or more.

SENATOR TAYLORs SACRIFICE

SENA1OR LAY LOES'S SAOIIF 0E.
Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, shows
his interest in democratic harmony
and success in his home state by
consenting to make the race for gov
ernOr as the nominee of the regu-
lar wing of the party. If any demo-
crat can defeat Hooper it may be
that Bob Taylor is the man. And
It must be said to his credit that he
does take some risk in making this
race for governor. If he should be
defeated that fact will impair his
prestige and availability should be
seek reelection to the senate. Mr..
Taylor, therefore, is evidently act
uated by motives of patriotic ma
ture, as a democrat, in his agree
ment to offer for the governorship,
for if elected he must resign a
place most men had rather have
than to be governor of a state His
action imparts new interest to the
situation in Tennessee, and we hope
he will be elected.
