It is said that the sections of the country suffering most on account of | the stagnation in industries are the | sections that depends largely upon ( their output -of coal. This condition { will continue as long as the war continues. The various ports are full of ( staemships that have not turned a wheel since the war began, and as ( these vessels are large consumers of coal it is only natural that the coal industry should suffer. Notwithstanding the fact that the ' only world in connection (with the ' sinking of the Arabic is just what ' England has been pleased to send out, and nothing more, Colonel Roosevelt is calling for immediatewar against Germany. And again he has ' shown what this country might have erpected had he been President. every section of the entire country. The answer is?noting! Sentiment in , favor of hanging men who comi?ose . mobs is not strong enough in Georgia to bring one man to justice. A largo majority of Georgians arc law abiding , people, but they are indifferent to lawlessness perpetrated by others. These citizens will never rise enmasse and demand that the lynchers be appre- < hended and punished. - 1 Galveston spent two ^and a half million dollars for a sea wall, which probably saved the city from complete 'destruction during the storm the first of this week. The latest news from 1 Galvaston is that fourteen lives were '< lost and the property damaged amounts to about three miliou dollars. In the great storm of 1900 Galveston lost property valued at fifteen million dollars and eight thousand lives were lost It will pay Galveston to build the sea wall higher and strengthen it. While business in this section is very slack, and while it could l>e better it might be worse, so the only thing we can do under the circumstances is to bo ecomical in the exi>enditure of money until the depression passes a way and I prosperity once more gives us an en I couraging smile. | < Charley [TAKg. ohE.

The crop this year has >een made at very small cost. There ivill be very few fertilizer bills to pay ind the other debts have been much ess than heretofore.

Urrt: -' A year ago the suriilus reserve fund jf the nationul banks of this country amounted to forty-one million dollars, l'lie suriilus reserve now umouuts to three-fourths of a billion dollars. The Actual reserves of the nationul banks now total close to two billion dollars, rhix is far in exxcess of the highest rec?r?l made in any previous i>eriod of the country's history. What is the matter with the country? It is wallowing in wealth ; the hanks are overflowing with noney; the crops are enormous and the rices of all of the great crops except otton are high, while cctton will bring i fair price; yet we are told that busijess is bad, that "times are hard," that he country is on the verge of stagnu- jjq ion or actual ruin.
