Tho half of the continent lying south of the Ohio and of the Platte is looming up &i an unconquera ble trade magnet, with probably unshakable determination to tit business on the nearest salt water. The Southern States, in their re markable industrial achievements of the last eight years, are mon than reinforcing the territory ol the Mississippi and of the Red River o? th? Noi th. Between the iron a?d coal and timber of the South and the agriculture of th' Southwest there has arisen a spon taneous interchange that Beems to grow by its own force. The cottcn mills below the Mason and Dixon line, contrary to former custom, send their output straight to the dry goods and denim merchants of the Mipsiseippi and the Mis souri, instead of the regions dis patching their orders to BosioD and New York. Wagons from Georgia are making their way into ?he farms of Oklahoma and Ar kansas, while Kansas City flour and St. Louis corn, and Kausac City hides and St. Louis shoes go as far as North Carolina and east ern Tennessee. Coal and iron from the "vicinity of Birmingnam and Knoxville are tabing the con tracts for the building of the steel freight cars to ply on the Southern roads. St: Louis has long since made use of the hard woods of tb> South to fortify its position, as tb' principal manufacturer in the United States of car furniture, of 'street car and th? ? ike; Since the Spanish war has brought the trade with the West Indies into prominence, tho heav ily capitalized aud determined Illinois Central has been second ing the efforts of the people ol New Orleans to make that point the principal port of entry for trade with uot only the adjacent islands but with South America. To some extent the pressure of . movement has been felt amougtlie South American firms whose head quarters ar9 at Ne,? York. Mobile, as the terminus of the Southern railway and as the nearest sea port for the iron aud industries of Ala bama is growiDg in the volume and variety of its articles of com merce. Pensacola is strengthen ing as one of the principal port:: for the tramp steamship traffic ir the South-a traffic which went tc New York and Boston, Philadel phia and Baltimore before the , awakening of the South and the ? perfecting of its railroad lines. i Again, along the Atlantic Coast ? north from Florida to the Cheea- I "peake Bay, Brunswick, in Georgia is becoming the largest shipper of j hard wood lumber. Charleston \ and Savannah are carrying cotton ; manufacturers, furniture, etc., t? ] Euiope, South America and South Africa. At Norfolk is a harbor | naturally the strategic point for | the trade bf the whole South At- \ lantic slope. Five or six railroad systems concentrate in the city ' and it has recently bee.n fixed upoi. ] by a number of co-operating rail- , roads as a livestock shippiug ceu- | tre. With Newport News, it dniius ? the coal &nd iron fields of West i Virginia, southwestern Pennsyl- ( vania aad eastern Ohio. The com- j merce of Newport News itself ad- i vaneen* from $3,2.:0,00O in 1?S5 tn $28,400,000 in 1899.

Street, in Ainslee's. e SAM JONES ON TEXAS! Says Texas is Prosperous and Booming-, But Needs the Services of Mrs. Nation Lockhart, Tex., Feb. 6, 1901. Editor of the Atlanta Journal : I have ppeut about a week travel ing through the cotton bolt of Texas from Sherman to San Marco?, from San Miircos to shreveport, La. Texas ie still .jickiug cotton every day now, Texas has, perhaps, one million bale3 iu the cotton yardB over the State unsold. Some of the towns bave 5,000 boles in the cotton yards, some 10,000, some 2,000, some 1,000, bu*, everywhere you see the unsold cotton. I have looked over the farms along tho way. The farmers are very late iu the preparation of the ground 'ora new crop. No raii>. in the Black Bolt of Texas since the 1st cf November, aud the ground is too hard to plough. The wheat crop of Northern rexes is not looking weil. The drought and Hessian fly is the cause; but I never saw such a glow of prosperity* on Texas as she cnanifests to-dav. The famers are on top, cottou on hand money to ioud, bauks overflowing and jierchantB busy. A member of a firm in Denton, Tex., said to me, "I can't supply my customers with implements. I've sold 100 buggies since January 1. Drum mers from St. Louis tell rae that their houses have insfucted them to sell no more carload lots, but in small amounts to the trade." Texas' supply this year iu the pockets 'of the faJmera is jus! what the Georgia farmers would have but for the enormous outlay tor guano. Geort-i* must have .jommercial fertilizers. Texas don't need them. The tenants on these rich farm lands in Texas oay the landlords $3 money rent per acre, and that's what it costs for guano per acre iu Georgia. If I were a farmer I would rathtr rent laud in Texas than own it m Georgia. Tho black colton lands of Texas aro selling tor $30 to $75 per acre ; $60 per acre will buy the best lauds ten miles from towns. The1 quest iou is not how much cittou eau Texas make, but how much cottou can they pick out.. I have ?traveled through Texar kana.to El Paso, from Texasliue to Galveston;, and, I stay within the facts wheu I say that not one tenth of Texas cotton lands ever bud a plow on them. If you will furnish Texas with half a million more plow mules and negro plow men they will and can make in Texas this year eight million bales of cotton, wei gb i ug 5001 pounds each. Tbe della of the Mississippi in Louisaua and the good cotton lauds of Tf-xas can make fifteen million bates and not; use a pc .md of guano, and with average seasons make a bale to the acre one year with another. Ala bama, South Carolina and North Carolina must look to their manufacturing interests and their farmers to diversified crops and home-made fertilizers or go broke in a few years. Texas can produce her own wheat, corn oats and ship millions ni dollars' worth of cattle, hogs, sheep, mules, horses et:., annually. Georgia is no longer the Empire State of the South. Texas has the j blue ribbon tied on her now. The thing Imarvel at iu Texas j is that her cities Ho not groir apace with her towns and rural districts. Dallas seems to be full grown, Port Worth is a dwarf, San Antonio a conglomeration, with ber population half invalids, and the other half, I am told, made up jp of 27 different nationalities.) Aust in, miuu8 her dam is dead.) Waco ought to be ramed Wake tfo-More. Houston, tbe only city )f growth and commerci&l enter prise since the Galveston horror, out that city in the background jut there aro a hundred prosper )U3, growing towna in Texas, with .rowing populations ranging from ;hree to fifteen thousand. I have talked with farmer, mer .nant, cotton buyer, and the geuer il impression prevails that Texas K\U nit increase her acreage in ;ottou very largely-may bo 10 per cent. Texas never raised a arger crop of cotton in mucb of .he colton belt than the crop of L9?0. Farm wages in Texas are double vhat they are in Georgia and Ala sama, but a* farm hand can pro luce more than double out heie. The Dallas News has Jone much :o hold the Texas farmer down, it preaches smaller acreage iu jotton aud greater diversity of ;rops, and the constant licks of hat paper has done much to mate he Texas farmer independent. L'he Atlanta Journal is also doing ha same for the Georgia farmer, vith Harrie Jordan putting in his icks. The Texas Legislature is now in? ession and they are having their J usual warm titnes. Hogg at oue eud of the iiue aud Hominy at the other. Hogg wants a constitu tional convention, and a whole lot of other things. The other crowd think him hoggish, aod so it goes. My, my, how they need Sister Nation, of Kansas, down bore in Texas! If she will add ono more important feature to her joint wmashiug program and go to smash ing politician?, I believe I will join her myself. My wife wrote me tho other day, s lying she wished Mrs. Nation would come to Georgia. We need hero in all the dry Counties in the State to organize a band of drunk ards' wives and mothers to meet all trains and break all jugs as the express ag*>nt put them off the trains, and I do affirm there is no unrighteousness in the drunkards' wives and mothers to take steps like that to protect their husbands and pons. The whiskey-soaked and whiskeybossed Legislature of Georgia has persistently refused to pass any law to protect the dry Counties from the greed of the wet towns. All whiskey laws will soon be unconstitutional as well as all union statiou laws. YOB, sir; I am for Sister Nation against all comers. Being a miuister of the gospel, if I was for her, I would go to jail and lie there until the ants toated me out through the keyhole before I would say I was not for her. I see Gover nor Candler thinks she is crazy. It the governor dou't quit being interviewed so much, somebody will think he is crasy. He koowa a governor of a good State like Georgia w?"?uld not cuss much ff he was uot a little off. I do wish my friends iu Atlanta would quit quarreling and fussing so much. Atlanta waB once a place of u? ity and brotherly love, and should always remain so. Quit it, boys. Lot brotherly love coutinue. If a fellow calls me a liar I am a liar or I am not a liar. If I am a liar, I will take it; if I am cot a liar, I will let him stand 'and lie all day ; it dou't hurt'me. Love your e oem iee, do good to them that persecute you, and pray for them tbatdespitefully uso you, is the advice of Him who has con quered more enemies and made more friends than any person who ever lived in this sin-cursed earth. I have had a most pier saut tour through Missouri, Kansas, Okla homa and Toxas, an i close my list of engagements and get home the 10th of February, and I shall be glad to get back to old Georgia again.

Where did he come from?" aBks Senator Tillman, with reference to Sampson's turning down Gun ner Morgan, because be was not born an aristocrat, socalled. The answer is giveu iu outline by thc? Philadelphia North American ae followB : "William T. Sampsoo was boru on a farm in Way ce County. N. Y., February 9, 1840. His father was a day laborer, who immigrat ed from the north of Ireland iu lb2? and Bottled at Palmyra, on the Erie Canal. As a boy Sampson atteuded the district school during part of each year, aud was required, when not in the school room, to assist his father at odd jobs, which were given him to do by people in the village. Tho Sampson family con sisted of eight children, all of whom, including William T., the elder, spent their early lives in performing meuial labor, much of which was offered them by charitable friends or neighbors." There is nothing disgraceful iii this, except in accordance with tho standard of sccial excellence set up by Sampson himself.

Yesterday morning at few miuutes before six o'clock, the u^ual hour for mill operatives to go to their work, an attempt at rape was committed here by a n?gro man, at or uear the chalk platform on Southern Railway. Miss Minnie Lybrand is a nice young lady who work3 in the Warrnu mill. She lives with her father's family about a half mile this side of the mill. Yester day morning she was on her way to work, aloug with her sister, and when between Owen's shop and the chalk platform a negro mau grabbed her aud threw both armp around her. She struggled with the burly fiend ai;d succeeded in freeiug herself from his grasp. She then ran into a nearby house, secured a pistol and returned to hunt her assailant. By this time several gontlemen were upon the scene and diligent search was made for the negro, but he hud fled. News of the occurrence spread like fire across a prairie, and a large crowd quickly gathered and hunted the would-be rapist, who had most successfully "made himself scarce." Tho young lady is coufideut that she can identify her assailant, thought it was but twilight when he made the dastardly attempt. Some hal1; a dez?:ii negroes were taken before her for identification, but ir. each case she exhonerated the party. Constable Howard with twelve picked men went in pursuit of the fugitive early this morning, and as it was thought he had gone toward Aiken the posse headed that way. If he is caught he will very likely be summarily dealt with. The searching posse had not been heard from when our paper wont to press.-Grauiteville News. Relief for Gorpuleuce.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessen", an.bition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born 'afflicted with weak kid r_- neys. If thc child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when It should bc able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards thc treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition bf the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as. well as men. are made mis- j erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect ot Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is soldi by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar ? sizes.
