They are already beginning to name habies after Judge 1'arker, and with letters and telegrams of congratulation he has received several announcing that he has been honored by fond pa rents who have bestowed his name on .'the sweet little things." _~*D- . ? - Both Th*? Democratic and Republi can parties will have their working headquarters in New York and will run the campaign from their. The fight will be in tho old time battle ground of New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticnt and the west will bo of secondary consideration. The first bale of Georgia's new cot ton crop was sold in Albany, Ga., on Friday, 22nd inst., by Deal Jackson, a negro farmer, who has marketed thc first bale in that section for several years past. The bale weighed 351 pounds and classed as good middling. It was sold for 15 cents a pound. With a six per cent, acreage increase and a twenty-five per cent, better con dition of the cotton crop over last year the promise of a high price for the staple this fall is slim indeed, and to counteract the possibilities of hard times the farmers should devote muoh attention to increasing the outcome of the hogpen. If they arc looking for issues the candidates for the Legislature might disouss the questions of good roads and biennial sessions of the Legislature. The people will be called upon to vote upon tho last named question at the November election, the Legislature having voted to submit the question to them._ _ College presidents, members of faculties and high ..anded students are manifesting increased zeal in purify ing contests in baseball and other sports from every taint cf profession alism and the desire to "makio money" in a commercial spirit out of amateur games. This is an admirable work, and will prove to be so effective that grounds of suspicion against the good faith and sensitive honor of managers and membcrB of teams and crews and kindred organizations representing oelebrated universities and schools will speedly disappear. * It is stated that Hon. Arthur P. Gorman, United States Senator from Maryland, has declined to take oharge of the national Democratic cami sign ?as Chairman of the National Executive Committee. We regret this. The country has rarely, if ever, produced an abler political manager that Senator Gorman. His managment of the Cleve land oampaign waa a tribute to his ability in this line of work. He is a safe, conservative leader, and in the management of a campaign, while actively aggressive, takes no foolhardy chanoes. He has a wonderful power of or ganising the forces of a cam paign and getting out of the contest all there io in it. _ The New York World gives the facts that show that 655,000 men are now unemployed in the United States, of which 120,000 are railroad employees, ?0,000 mill operators in New England, 140,000 steel workers, 75,000 paoking house employees, 60,000 coal miners, and 180,000 (estimated) in other trades and industries, and the World says: "The fall dinner-pail pledge made to the workmen of the country by the Republican campaign managers four years ago, in the plea for votes to con tinue the Republican administration, has proved nothing more than an un fulfilled promise. Trade stagnation and attendant armies of idle workers are evident to all the business centers of the country. Facts gathered from every industrial section of the nation show that there are hundreds of thousands of empty dinner pails, a large number of half-filled dinner pails, and a rapidly shrinking propor tion of full dinner pails." There is a remarkable growth report ed in the South both in point of North ern-born population and in industrial progress. This demonstrates that Northern people and capital aro begin ning to underatand that the South possesses vast areas of undeveloped wealth and that it has more to offer to the homeseeker and the investor than any other section of the country. The Northern-born population of Geor gia, Tennessee and Alabama has in creased to about 1 per cent of the whole population in the last few years, and the increase in Florida is even greater. In Mississippi there aro approximately 30,000 Northern born people compared with only 13,000 in 1890, and iu Louisiana there arc ap proximately 27,000, compared with 19,000 in 1890. In the Southwestern Siatos the increase is even moro rapid. The influx of the Northern people to the rural communities and the addi tion of manufacturing plants and in vestaieut companies hacked by larire capital niean for thc while ?outh thc continued development of pros perity. This means an increase in the wealth of the country. With an un surpassed climate, free from rigorous winters, and with an influx of millions of dollars aud thousands of hardy peo ple, the whole South/Can well be hap py and look to the future with assured optimism.
