He reduced his previous estimate from 0,750,000 to 9,600,000 The market advanced a few points only upon the esti mate, its effect having been largely discounted in the market before it was posted. If the esti mate that 10,000,000 bales will be needed this year is correct, thero may be scrambling for cot ton next Summer, and there is no telling what the price will be. Great Need of the South in Men Who Know How. Harry Stlllwell F'.dwardw in A tluMta Hmi News. In 1881, when I became the associate owner oi the Macon Telegraph, with Major J. F. Han son, the two interests controlling the policy of the paper, he came to me with a suggestion to open an editorial campaign in behalf of a technological institute in this state, and from time to time we both contributed additional articles. The institute took de finite shape through Hon. N. 1?. Harris, a legislative representative from Bibb, who, at the re quest of Major Hanson, introduced, and after a continued effort, succeeded in establishing in the cites of Atlanta, tho school of which the whole state is justly proud. Hon. John T. Boifeuillet, fol lowing in the steps of Mr. Har ris, has given conspicuous sup port to its maintenance and de velopment, and other public spirited men have combined to bring <1 f 11\ A V\i of /% /? " " ? "** ASJ bliD lll?il Dlrtic in euiuivuujr which now characterizes it. So much for history. In the original discussion of this great work, had in the edi torial rooms of the Telegraph, one striking proposition from the lips of Major Hanson remains clear in my memory : "The time will come, in the near future, when Georgia will need skilled superintendents in many branches of her industries, and they will have to be imported." Never has a prophecy been so nearly fulfilled. There is, today, in all branches of the manufacturing in dustries of this state, a demand for the men "who know how," and as a rule they are only obtainable by importation. It seems to me that this one fact, easily I L substantiated, should promptly determine the action of the Georgia legislature in its consideration of the bill granting $18,000 to enlarge the scope and efficiency of the state's Technological Institute. The state of Georgia has but two things to sell?one is the product of its so'l; the other the skill of its labor. Vast as may be the agricultural or mineral product of any country, it is never rich except through toe sale of its skill in labor, for at last, after centuries of debate, we know that not natural resources, not accident of soil and climate, not combinations of capital even, is the source of a country's wealth. The man who raises cotton at 7 cents per pound is a valuable factor in the creation of wealth in this state, but the man who makes a pound of cotton bring 18 cents as yarn, is greater; and he w ho makes it produce .'10 cents as cloth is greater still. So of iron ; so of coke and iron combined ; so of kaolin ; so of tiraoer. With this in mind, while we recognize the importance of making our agricultural lands, mines, forests and animals moreproducfina if oKaii 111 V\A nvtvAfl Art tl VC) iu DUUUIU UC Ultf^QU UU C* TI J intelligent legislator that the most important thing at last is to make our labor more efFective by skilling it in all the branches of industry through which we utilize natural advantages. in the second, third and fourth values of a product we sell our best labor. Georgia cannot alTord to sit down and wait for skilled labor to come into her borders. Skilled labor is the last to emigrate, and can only be induced by a premium which lessens the ability to compete. While waiting, we lose opportunities, and we lose that capital which only skilled labor can command. The mar "who knows how" can alwayt find money to back him. There is a social side to thit question which should appeal tc every parent in Georgia. The young men springing up about \it demand to be placed on an equa! footing with those of their owr generation throughout the world If they cannot got aa good a tech nical education in Georgia an in Boaton, it is an injustice to keep them at school in Georgia. I have placed my son in the Atlanta school because I believe that wheu he comes out with a diploma ho will know as much of textile manufacturing as any graduate of any school in America, and because I wish him to locate and expend his skill and energy in sight of his home and surrounded by home inlluences. When convinced that he is not getting the best that modern mothods of instruction afford I shall remove him to the most favorable spot to be found, and I take it that every reasonable patron of the Georgia school will do likewise. Hold every son of our grand old state at home by arivinir them all the best that money can purchase, and depend on it, every one of them will in time, by raising the efficiency of labor, assist to swell the volume of the state's income. Let the "Tech" have all the money it needs. There is no better investment for Georgia money than in the education of its younger members along technical lines.

' Old Sailor's Thrilling Story of n Storm at Sea. ROBERT E. GOLDEN IN ATLANTA DAILY NKWH. It was tho schooner Sue F Mooro, up from the Texas coast that came into dry dock here torn into slats almost.

" 'Twas out in latitudelO anc longitude >!, or p'raps tho oth or way around?but that don'i matter none. At auy rate, 'twas out upon the wild gul's heaving breast. Tho wind, I think, was north-northeast,or maybe south southeast. "We'd sailed a day or two 01 three before from New Orleans No cloud flecked the cerulear dome?whatever that thinf means.

Say, every time you'd to draw a breath you'd take a drink. Tho ship was lifted bodily from out the ocean's trough a dozen times and dropped at?say, a hundred full yards off. "The wind strats blowin' east, and west in simultaneous gales and fills the air with wreckage flying spray and dying whales.

I tell you, friend, I never want to see such sights again as them that whirled around us there upon the ragin' main, or hear them weird, uncanny sounds that rolled out from the shore. I know now 'twas the muililed beat of (Jheron's busy oar " 'Twas on that night Galveston fell, and while the storm was rife, I tell you on the 8uo F. Moore we led the strenuous life for fair.
