Tillman certainly belongs t credit for the dispensary law, and for the [ beneficial efieou of that law be deserves tbe grateful thanks of al' problbltlon and tem- 11 perate people. ? Bat Is Mr. Tillman responsible for the effortanow being made by tbe license advo- d catea to vote out the dispensary In various ^ counties? We think It entirely probable thai n that be Is. He, like the devil, quotes Scrip- ^ tare. And these quotations were Intended to 0 t prove that the Bible does not disconraite the ft drinking of Intoxicants. And various of bis speeches would lead to btlleve that be thinks a a little liquor does good and not barm. gi Well, dow, If Mr. Tillman Is correct Id prov- 18 lag that the Bible doea not discourage tbe ? drinking of Intoxicants, and iritis not wrong u to drlDjt dispensary stock, then tbe exlatlne w restraints or limitations on the sale of liquor ^ la wrong, and the law should he repealed. It It It la not agalnsj divine oommand and Is Dot against humane Interest and morality, to l( drink liquor, where Is ibejasticeorihefarm- w era Id restricting the sale of liquor? (t Mr. Tillman's speeches are rightly Inter- a preted, any bar to tbe sale of liquor la wrong, and tbe advooatea of free liquor are J uatlfied {' la their demand ror the repeal of tbe llcenst b law ol Bat what shall we say to the poor little pro- f, hlbltlonlsta who are shivering In the pi 1 ill- E oal oold, bat are bo anxloas to do somethlok ^ that they shamelessly Join the license ele- fc meni?

By a hurried and successful trip to " Washington for toe purpo8e of proestiDg a change of method in placing he government's December estimate >f the cotton crop, President Harvie rordan, of tbe Southern Cotton kssociition, Monday morniogsaved millions >f dollars to tbe cotton growers of the outh. S According to information received r n Atlanta from New Orleans, theagri- v. cultural bureau was preparing to iniugurate a new and entirely uuexpeot* d system in the matter of estimating he number of bales and one that was calculated to have a decidedly bearish sffect upon the market. Instead of stimating the crop on tbe basis of 500 >ounds to the bale, which is in keepug with the established methods of _ he bureau, it whs reported that it was "" nttuded to allow only about 475 >011 nd? to each bale. bucu au estimate, says Secretary Richard Cheatham, of tbe Southern Jotton association, would have been rv*naa1t7 mialfiadlniv Innrouaindr tha j > UIIOIVHUIUf^i IUV1VMOIUQ VUV be number of estimated bales over 5 >er cent and would have resulted in a oss.of perhaps twenty-five milliou dolars to southern cotton growers. Immediately after the news of the % :ontemplated action of the agricultu- ' aal bureau was received, President Jordan held a hasty conference in Atlana, which resulted in his departure for Washington at coon Sunday. Be 'eached his destination Monday morongaud the result of his trip is best :old in the following telegram, received from him shortly before noon by ? Secretary Cheatham: . j ' luterviewJust olosed.

A few dollars added to the cost of an dvertisement may turn probable failire into certain success.
