" There must and will be a change in this until America becomes the manufacturer of the cotton she grows. New cotton territories may be developed from which the Eng lish mills may draw their supplies of raw material in which event they, may continue to do- business indefi nitely, but if not, if they are to be as dependent for supplies on this country as they have been in the past, then: they must simply yield to the inevitable and prepare to go out of the cotton business. GEORGIA -TArtBLH. The railroads have " recently in creased the freight rates on Georgia marbles to about double, what they had been, which, according to the Atlanta Journal, has had a disas trous effect on the industry in that State, the1 growth of which is thus editorially referred to: . , " - "By the 'enterprise of the men en raged in minin. and dressing Georgia marble it has acquired .markets in a great number of States. They hare made rery large inrestments in this business, and hare enlarged it stead ily in the faith that as low rates of transportation would be giren to larger quantities of their product as were granted to this industry In its infancy. Nerer has an industry de reloped so rapidly in this State as has the marble business. Twenty yean ago Georgia . was practically unknown as a producer of marble. I - "It is now . conceded that Georgia has larger stores of marble than any other State, and that her marbles are superior to any , others for . building purposes, i "So fully hare these facts been de monstrated that Georgia's marble pro -duetion is now exceeded only by that of Vermont and is gaining on that so fast that before the next census Geor gia will be the first State of the Union in the production of marble if it is giren a fair chance. "It is true that the freight rate on Vermont marble shipped south of the Ohio rirer has been raised as much as the rata on Georgia marble for points outside of this State and to the north and west. But this does not gire Geor gia marble an equality .of . treatment, for it has already practically driven Vermont marble out of the market in the Southern States and . has rapidly inraded the territory in the north and west, where Vermont marble for many years had almost a monopoly. Eren the State of Rhode Island, herself I famous ' - for . building stones,' and - almost in sight of the Vermont marble quarries selected Georgia marble as ' the mate terial for her 11,800,000 capitoL Min nesota choose Georgia marble for her $3,000,000 capitol because, like Bhode Island, she found by actual tests .that it -is the best. : The federal gorern ment has attested its superiority by making it the main inaterial of its new department of - justice v building in" Washington, and the New York stock exchange, with unlimited means, when it came to find the best material for its new $2,000,000 home' decided upon Georgia marble. i I - "Within the last few years the Cor coran Art Gallery, costing $1,000,000; St. Lake's Hospital. New York; the UUUUUBIBUU UOWJi OI JDOMOD, OUT own beautiful Carnegie library build ing and a number of other, splendid buildings far away from the Georgia marble quarries hare been built of the material they supply in unlimited quantity and unriraled quality." We hare heretofore - referred to tho marble industry of Georgia, but reproduce'this extract as a r matter of interest because of the inexhaust ible deposits of marble in the west- j ern part of our State, especiallr f in Cherokee county, of which little use has yet been made. -:"- - ': 1 ! There hal recently been organized a company ostensibly to work - some of these marble quarries, but our opinion is, judging from the broad and comprehensive scope" of the charter granted, that the object is more to speculate in marble and other properties than to work the marble ; quarries. !

Despots. are outlaws r they are in human shape - what the tiger is among beasts to spare them is a crime. As despots make use of every thing treachery, poison, murder, etc so everything should be employed against them. ' Yes, the crime directed against them is not merely a right; it is also the duty of every one who has the opportunity to carry it out, and it will be bis glory if successful. It Is only with regard to men that there is morality of consideration; the morality ' against beasts is anni hilation. The laws of despots are nothing more than decrees of the sword; their property is nothing but robbery; their punishment nothing but murder. No man can be a crim inal against their laws; against their murderous - lires the revolutionary can be but a liberator of mankind. In all conflicts between reaction and rer olution, as a matter of course, the re action is the assailant Berolution is nothing but defense.

NAPOLEON'S EYE; Omm Look Fron it Explained Hla Pewar Over Men. In 1887, while working In London as a curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, I was called In my vicar's absence to ad minister a religions service to an old admiral In Eaton squareT The admi ral's name was Eden. After the serv tee was over he took my hr.nd and said : "Shake hands with me, . young man.- There are not many alive who can say what I can say. You are talk ing with a man who has talked to Na poleon the Great" "Sir," I Bald,' "that Is history. ..May I hear more T': The old admiral then told me that he was once returning with the eet-4 think from the West Indies, bat of that I am not sure and touched at St. Helena. The admiral said, "I am going up to Longwood to pay my respects to Napo leon, and the senior midshipman comes with me." . "I was the senior midshipman,'' said the old gentleman, "and so I went. We waited for Napoleon In an outer room; and you must Imagine how eagerly I expected his entrance. The door was thrown open at last, and In he came. He was short and fat and nothing very attractive but f or his eye: ' My word. sir, .I have .never seen anything like It. After speaking to the admiral he turn ed to me, and then I understood for the first time in my life what was the meaning of the phrase, 'A born ruler of men.' I had been taught to hate the French as I hated the devil, but when Napoleon looked at me there was sncb power and majesty In his look that if he had bade me He down that he might walk over me 1 would have done it at once, English middy though I was. The look dh Napoleon's face was the revelation of the man and the explana tion of bis power. He was born to command." r ; - Such was Admiral Eden's version to me of an Incident which at 90 years old or thereabout seemed to. him as fresh as' if it bad happened only the day be fore. Rev.

If yoa think Pm going down to Bee Tom's folks and have his sister look all through my things without having a new silk petticoat you're mistaken.
