The Atlanta Constitution offer* * H.0M 1 rash prise contest for January.

The above are for the exact estimates; there are besides these six prises, ranging along, $600, $400. $260. $160. $126 and $76, ] amounting to $1,600, that will be paid out sure for the six nearest estimates to iSew Orleans cotton receipts at any time during the three months of the con' test. But you hit It exactly during Jan| uary and secure the full $1,600 prise check. The Constitution belloves somebody will hit the figures exactly and expects to pay out the full amount of the prizes offered?$3,000 In all. In a Constitution contest upon the same subject In 1896 Mr. R. T. Poole, of Capels Mills, N. C., hit the exact figures and received a check for $1,000 as his prize. Mr. Poole did not try to swell himself up at once. but very generously paid off a mortgage on his father's home place and with the balance he very wisely educated himself at Trinity college, Durham, N. C. He Is now doing well In business In North Carolina and lives still near his old home. It Is needless to say he Is a warm friend *f The Constitution. As a guide In making estimates upon the New Orleans rort receipts. The Constitution gives the following figures, compiled from statistics of the past four years: I N.

The effort of Louisiana to have quarantine raised by Injunction from United States courts will not have very soothing effect upon the direction of cotton shipments tn New Orleans. THls is mentioned simply as a pointer In making up estimates; how much to allowr, If anything, for this causo must be left to each mam's Judgment. The 83,000 contest Is an express contract to which The Constitution will stand In every particular.

The Perm and farmers* page, the Woman's Kingdom, the Southern Pulpit, the Chlldren'e Page and other Interesting departments will be ably conducted and will be especially adapted to those addressed. The ringing editorials of The Constitution speaking right out In meeting exactly what It means In the advocacy of true democratic doctrine and In behalf of the great Interests of the masses of our plain people, and protecting them from the grasping greed of those who would wring their earnings from their helpless hands. ar? alone worth the subscription price of the paper over and again. The Constitution has long stood as the champion of the people and has sent Its shafts deep Into the errors and evils that threaten and beset the masses. Its complete expose of the methods of Nelll, of New Orleans, and the shattering of the Influence of this prophet of big cotton crops, and apostle of ruinously low prices, and high priest of robbery, who has cost the southern farmers hundreds of millions of dollars, ought to win for The Constitution the lasting gratitude of the whole south. The advlc? to farmers to organise against the trust that would Increase the price of fertilizers and fertilizer materials for the home compost heap, and taking up the cudgel In behalf of the farmers against the combination that would put a fresh burden upon them. Is sound and valid, and ought to be heeded. The bulwark of the people's rights and the best method of defense will often be found In a great paper, ably and fearlessly edited, upon which the people may rely, not only for news of the ordinary events of government, army and political life, but also for an alert foresight of the trend of future events that may operate to our lasting damege. The downfall of Nelll; the breaking down of the fertilizer trust; the upbuilding of all southern Interests, and the enlightenment of every village, farm and mountain home are among The Constitution's many high alms and great Ideas for 1900. That these interests may all be well served, and with the same unswerving fidelity to the people that The Constitution has always shown, goes without saying. c The management of The Constitution, with Mr. Clark Howell as editor-ln-chlef, and his well disciplined corps of Btaff writers, brilliant contributors and special correspondents, still under the faithful leadership of Colonel Wllli&m A. Hemp| hill as business manager, will remain the same for the new year. The Constltu! Men's Ion* and honorable business course, keeping faith with the people In all Its contracts, contests and engagements, as well as in its consistent and conspicuous editorial fairness, places It among these reliable Institutions of our country on which the people may depend. r With such a great general newspaper, .covering the world news and world and national questions, j**u will, of course, need the best and llvest local paper, glvtopics and tha latest upon events of local Interest. We trust this combination secured with The Constitution will be found best suited to all our readers.

Thurmnu of Ohio was engaged as counsel lu a lawsuit which was tried before a country Judge In one of the small towns In the central part of the state. Opposing Judge Thurman was a young lawyer named Cassldy, who wore his hair pompadour, assumed an air of great dignity and was apparently greatly impressed with his own Importance. Upon several occasions during the progress of the trial Thurman I referred to his legal opponent as "Mr. j Necessity." The young man arose j whenever this occurred and with great j gravity reminded the court that his j name was (Jussldy. Finally, after the : offense had been repeated about a dozen times, the pompous attorney exclaimed: * "I must again remind counsel upon i the other side that my name is Cas , sk.j . i can i understand wny ne peri slms la maintaining that tt la Necesi mr j "I l?rrr the gentleman's pardon," said ' riiurman.
