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

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

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.
