Wouldn't it be nice if thc cranks who want to kill the president could bc induced to turn their attention to thc cranks who want to ro-clcct the president? An Iowa bank president h as been given thirty days in jail for stealing $13,000. This doesn't look right to the boys who have to serve chat long for plain drunks. mt * - Tho reocption accorded to Grover Cleveland in Chicago a few days since demonstrated that the Sage of Prince ton has not yet lost his hold upon the affections of the people. -? ? m President Koosovelt has lost the hearty support of many leading men of his own party, and ho has conquer ed no Democratic territory. Ho may be nominated next year but ho will not go in with thc unanimous approval of his party. ^_ We aro indebted to Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, for a copy of tho thirteenth annual edition of their book of "Cotton Movcmi and Fluctuations." This book ia now a standard work on the cotton move ment, and is a valuable book of refer ence. Augusta is making great prepara tions for the annual reunion of the Confederate veterana of Giorgia whioh is to be held November 10-12th. South Carolina veterans are invited. Free lodging and meals will be provided for all who are unable to defray their own expenses. The Atlanta Constitution very truly says that when '?he Southern farmer gets himself in shape to live the bet? ter part of a year without credit, ten cents will be the minimum price of cotton and there will bo no marketing under duress. Thc old advice-hog, hominy and diversification. The Republicans are doing all in their power to defeat Gorman in Mary land, so as to provent his being taken np an a .candidate for the presidency by the Democrats. On the other hand Gorman knows that his chances de pend upon Maryland's going Demo cratic and he is making the fight of his life. _ President Rooeevalt has issued a proclamation calling the Fifty-eighth Congress in extraordinary session No vember 9 at 12 o'clock. The procla mation states that the purpose of the session is to consider a commercial convention between the United States and Cuba, whioh will require the ap proval of Congress. According to the report of the Unit ed States uonsul general in Cuba, cot ton grows wild in that island quite luxuriantly and may be oultivated to a measure and a qnality surpassing the produot of the cotton growing Staten of this country, eves the sea island cotton of this region being overmatched. If these things are exactly true, the staple industry of the Southern States may become serious ly affected, but there is so occasion for immediate alarm. We hear fre quently of great cotton growing pos sibilities in various parts of tho world, but the South's crop is steadily in creasing in volume and value. Noting that 38 per cent of the total oxports of the country for the past year originated in the Southern States, the Railway World says tho develop ment of this seotion is well illustrated by the growth of cotton mills along the lines of the Southern Railway. Sinoe Jan. 1,1903, there have been added twenty-seven now plants, in cluding nineteen cotton mills and eight knitting mills, whioh have add ed to the total equipment 20,134 looms and 727,358 spindles. Theic are now nuder ooostraction twenty-three other mills, with an equipment of 14,025 looms and 500,312 spindles, making a grand total existing and in eight of 642 mills, 185,738 looms and 6,976,800 spindkyr. . _ Sebator James K. Jones has given it out as bin opinion that ?ho "most unpopular democrat io the South to day is Grover Cleveland." Mr. Jones has so often demonstrated the inac curacy of his views on publie matters that the very fact of his making a positive statement suggests the sus picion that it is wroog. The people of Arkansas recently notified Mr. Jones of the propriety of his going as far back io the auditorium ss he could get and there taking a seat out of the way of the people who do things more with their brains and their hands sod less with their mouths. Mr. Jones ought to have learned by this time that'he isn't even tho son bit a prophet. ? five-year-old son Cf Jim Adair, colored, of Laurens got hold of a pis? /ol on Friday and killed himself. Great Activity on Cotton Market. New York, Oct. 26.-There waa great ! excitement and activity at tin; opening of the cotton market today. Moro or ICHS general frosts had been reported iii the cotton belt over Saturday and Sunday and with Liverpool thin morn ing exhibiting great firmness there wan a scarcity of shorts hore that Btarted prices Homo 20 to 43 point? higher. October closing Saturday at !>.0?j, sold up to 10.40 on the call, while December touched 10.28; January, 10.25; March, 10.20 and May 10,20. This enormous gain naturniij attracted heavy realiz ing and after the call prices were de pressed several points oh tho mote ac tive, positions. The activity continued nil the morning and fluctuations were irregular and violent. Generally speaking, tho tone was linn. From the highest point early there was a re action before midday of from 25 points on October lh</17 pointu on tho other positions. Notwithstanding the heavy estimate* for tomorrow's receipts, short covering continued in volume, and the market regained most ot its losses with prices in tho eariy afternoon 25 to ?15 poit.ta higher thai Saturday. There waa little diminution in activ ity or excitement duriDg the afternoon and the transaction foi tho day broke all previous records, nearly a million and a half b"!rs according to estimate. The market waB finally steady, 80 to 34 points not higher, this representing a reaction from tho best of 18 points on October, and o? 1 to 7 points on later positions. All the months later than cianuaiy soid at now high prices for the season. Liverpool, Oct. 2fi.-There was con siderable excitement on the Liverpool cotton exchange today on rumors that destructive frosts in tho American cot ton belt probably would result in the next cotton crop not exceeding 11,000, 000 bales. Prices jumped several points and anticipations of a "squeeze" next Bummer wore expressed. Immigration Southward. The Kailway World calls attention to the stream of immigration whioh has been pouring into the Soutb in recent years, tho movement South ward being fostered by the railways of that section with striking success. The organized effort i H DOW being ap plied to tho development of the re sources of tho Soutb. Thia ia not dono, of connie, in a purely philan thropic spirit, but ie a view to in creasing the business of the railways. During the past 10 years it appears, 75,000 Western and Northern farm ers have settled between New Orleans sndCorpuB Christa, bringing under up-to-date methods 3,000,000 sores of farm land. In the past year 1200 farmero sealed ?long the lines of a single railway system east of the Mis sissippi. A case is mentioned by The Southern L\;rm Magazine, in whioh one farm within a year increased its population by 4Co. Io Maryland a valuable addition has been made to our farming enterprise by the influx of Northern and Western immigrants, who appr?ci?t a the fertility, conven ience and ob japnesa of land. South of tho Potomac tho great railway ? yto tems have shown a commendable a?> rit in taking* part not only in the p.emo tion of immigration, but HIBO in teach ing thu people by example how to make good roads and making them, by way of encouragement, in short sec tions here and there. The good roads trains of the Southern Kailway, for instance, have performed a highly ap ?>reoiatea servioe for the Southern arming public.-Baltimore Sun. "Marching Through tieorgia." By a unamimous voto and amid great enthusiasm, a Confederate Vet erans' camp, No. 435, in Augusta, Ga., has extended an invitation to Miss Louise Talbert Galt, of Louisville, Ey., to attend the reunion next month. A committee WM appointed to extend the iuvitation to Miss Galt and to make all tho neooesaary arrange ments for transportation and entertain ment. The camp will defray the ex poneos of the trip for both Miss Galt and a chaperon. While in the oity she will be eutertained a; the home of some member cf thc camp. It will be remembered that Miss Galt ia the young school girl c f Louis ville, Ky., who refused to ding the Bong "Marching Through Georgia," when commanded to do so by a teacher of thc public achoo!* at her home. Tho faot waa heralded exten sively through the newspapers of the country and brought her into great prominence. lier loyalty to the mern ory of the Lost Cause won her a warm place in the heart of every Confede rate survivor, and a number of tho campa of the South heaped honors on her young head. Camp 435 elected her aa a member of the organicitioo and donated to her & solid gold camp badge. It ia believed that Mian Galt can be induced to visit the reunion next month." It ia safe to say that she will receive the homage of tho thous ands of old veterans who will be in at tendance. $30,000 in Seeds Chucked Into Furnace. Washington, Oct. 22 -If there is any departmental performance whioh merits congressional curiosity and in Suiry just now, it is developing iu the epartment of agriculture. Thia week millions and millions of packages of seed of all kinda whioh go to the quota of congressmen have been chucked into tho furoaoe of the engine room out at the department grounds and destroved. These seed constitute what waa a little while ago valued at aomethiug like 130,000. It was seed left over after the last distribution, it being the rule, after the completion of the giving of quotas to senators and representatives, the work being completed the first of April of each year, tn hold the surpluB and turn it over to the congressmen for future uae. A recent inspection of thia seed discovered the whole stock a mass of rottenness and bugs and worms. They were hurriealy east into burning. This is aced of stock bought in the open market at the sweet pleasure, as to the patrons of Purchasing Agent Peters. There is no competition. Mr. Peters may buy from whom he pleases. He is regarded as one of the sciontiata of the department, of whom th?'Hon.'
