Mr. Editor: Since the price of '] cotton advanced to J1 cents, the i farmer is wearing the smile that 1 won't come ofT. In some parts ol the state the crop will be very a short though, and the advance in t price will not he sufficient to 1 keep many ot them trom coming 'J behind on what they are due the t merchants. Corn ai d potatoes r and peas are very good all over a the state. The great scarcity ol 1 labor will cause many farmers to t lose a great many peas, as they ci can't get hands to pick them and a they are rotting in the holds.? I Many farmers complain of not t being able to get tne hand*to i pick cotton and will be very a much delayed in gathering on a that account. a All Georgia is mourning the t death ot Rev. Sam -Jones, who 1 died suddenly a few days ago.? a In this city, where he has held many meetings, he was held in > high esteem and we have heard a r great many express their creat a sorrow over his death. He was a good man, true and sincere.? li He was very original and many 1 may attempt to imitate him, hut s they can never successfully do so. 1 His lite certainly appears to have 1 been an useful one and he will be f sadly missed by thousands ot peo- 1 pie ail over the country. t Within the last few weeks, o while so many race riots have 11 taken place in different parts (.1 the country, we have seen a i:reat a many different articles on the Iz "race problem." The preachers t suggest religion, some others >uu? 1 gest education, sonn think a sep- J" aration of the races the host solu- : tion and others oiler other sug- t gestions. < >ur own private opin* ion is that if a separation of the I races could be successfully ac-j complidied, this would be the v best solution of the problem, but " to do this would require a law to a that effect being passed by (Inn*. v gress, which body would never a pass such a law so long as tlie! v sentiment of Northern people re >s mains n. it I. 0 jii? u-i n i a inil if1 [ US | hope that the people ot the North 11 will some time ere 1 on^ awaken M to the fact that the negroes are 11 dangerous in our midst and that| h their banishment from orr coun- j ? try for all time will he best for 11 the negroes and lor us and will 11 join with the people ot the South.'1 in getting rid ot them. 9 Senator Tillman has received!'1 much severe criticism tor his h' speech on the race problem in * Augusta. No doubt he spoke from ' his heart and did not use the! calm, conservative judgment lie j should have in giving advice on 1 such a subject. In other words, he spoke just as he felt, personal- 1 ly, like he wanted to act in the r< matter and every man feels enraged in the same way, at the ii nean acts ot the negroes, whicl ire getting more and more frejuent, but the'^Ku-Klux Klai uul oilier like methods do noi receive tlie endorsement of tin majority ot intelligent, conservI'ive men. A Macon paper, speaking oi Senator Tillman's ability as u speaker, remarks that "it required the space of a y-ar and a hall uul a tour ot the world for Mr Bryan to earn $50,000 as a lecurer, while Mr. Tillman earned ^25,000 last Summer on his lecurim: tour out West." Mr. Bryan or president in 100S and Mr rillnian as member of his cabinet s our ticket so tar as these two nen are concerned. A hospital for Lancaster is mother good suggestion made by he editor of the News and we lope a hospital will be built.? Phe right kind of a hospital is he correct place for a sick man r woman and usually they are iccordcd better treatment at the lands ol llio.se in charge than hey would get Ironi their own lear people at home, because, in i gieat many cases, the people at lome simply don't know how to ivat them. The charges are not te essaiily so em rmous, espeei illv when the benefits received L?e taken into account, and we nrree with TheNews that Laircaser is large enough to have u mspital an 1 should have one by ill means.

Two hustling young men in an djoining county to this, reali ing the scarcity of labor, and he necessity of their c >tton beng picked while the weather is :ood, decided to find out how nuch each of them could pick n one day and the result was hat they picked over 500 pounds aeh. It seems to us that is licking some. The two young white men who vere shot down at the fair rounds in this city several days go, by a negro, an account ol rliich appeared in The News t tbe time, aie getting along erv well and hope to be on t he tieets again before long. 1 liese re splendid young men and lembers ot two ot Macon's proanient fainiliec.
