I have trav elled through dust for two months, and ( think that I would tie the blue rib bon on North Georgia for dust and cotton. We have got more dust and cotton in North Georgia, to tay noth ing of corn, potatoes, persimmons, and 0 on, than I have known, in almost a hundred years. I was rejoiced night before last to see report from Weather Forecaster Marbury promising "rain, and much rain." In his weather prog nostications he reminds me Terr much orthe old negro preacher, when one of his white friends asked mm "what he was doing now," and he said he "was just prevaricating around over his cir cuit." I believe that I have got an old negro that can beat the weather burea on rain. He says it won't rain 'fore Christmas. If it does however, set in before that date, he won't "preva ricate" any worse than Forecaster Mar bury did the other day. . But I am sorter getting used to the dust. They say a fellow can get used to anything except being hung. In looking over the papeis I was interested in reading a news story rom Athens, of October 21, saying: "The largest crowd in the history of Athens was here today to see the circus. People are fighting like mad at the dispensary to get liquor. The receipts up to noon today are fully two thousand dollars. More than fifty cases of drunkenness have been docketed at the police station." What a commentary on a pious barroom. Less taxes -and more drunkards. The dispensary is a thing of the devil, and no community will run One and no gang will patronize one long, without belonging to the devil from, snout to tail. In talking with a member of the legislature the other day I asked him what had become of our "and jug bill," and he said "it died a-bornin'." In other words,' it was choked to death by the doctor who tended the mother. He said, however, if it hadn't been born dead, or died be fore it got out of the hands of the com mittee, that it would have been killed in the senate. He talked like that in the senate was the "place "to kill things." There is one fact, though, a sad and yet tremendous fact, that the whole whisky gang will be in hell "a-frying" by and by. I read with pleasure the progress of the Atlanta meetings. I hear that George Stewart did good work there, and I see that my friends, Chapman, Biederwolf, and so on, are doing great work, as well as Drs. Toy, Bmith and others. But Atlanta had rather have freight rates "equalized," so-called, than to have front seats iu glory. But all Georgia, in fact, all the southern states, are booming. Ten ceni cotton is making the south rich, and the pro ducts of her fields and forests, her fruits and vegetables are pouring the millions in upon us. After touring the southern states I don't know much more about the cot ton crop than I did before, or rather I can't guess much better about it, but everywhere I wentit looked like they had cotton "to burn." I am not holding my cotton this time. I have averaged ten cents to date, and a little over, and I am not betting on it being any more than that soon. There is a desperate fight going cn between the bulls and the bears. I have never known cotton to fluctuate at this time of the year, as it is doing now. Our buyers had orders this morning that "nine and a quarter is the limit," and before 12 o'clock the fluctuations in New York and Liverpool had been such that they were paying 9.62. 1 don't know whether it will be ten tomorrow, or nine. Nobody else knows, unless it is some of the bulls and bears, that kfow the trick they are goiDg to work. I say again, the fellow that can get ten cents for his cotton has got no kick coming. The tanners are in commnna of the situation today more absolutely than they have ever been, in my knowledge. They are not only inde pendent, but some of them are "sassy." They are not oSjy paying up their debts early, but they have got money to loan. "Every dog has his day," and the southern farmer is certainly having his day in this year of grace. I shall leave tonight for Detroit, and spend the wick lecturing in Indiana, and shall wind up the short tour in Toronto, Canada, preaching for the Temperance League, on November 6. Yours truly, 8am P. Jones. One of Judge Parker's most ardent supporters is Jewe B. Grant, the young est Son of Uveas 8. Grant. Mr. Grant was a recent visitor to Esopua, where he took luncheon with Judge Parker and returned to New York with him in the evening. IS SHOW INS' roatss. The .rtalalr That New YorK Will Sa Democratic lacreaaes Alarm In the KoMCVelt Camp. Cor. aalelgn Post. Washington, D. C, Nov. 1. "There has been a wonderful change during the past three days, and Parker is cer tain to carry New York by a good majority." Such was the message that came over the long distance 'phone fl day from De Lancy Niooll, of New York, the Democratic national vice chair man, who was in communication with leaders at Democratic congressional headquarters. Mr. Nicoll thinks New York is be yond hope of the most partisan Repub licans and he is confident that the Parker wave, which haa swept the Empire state during the past week, will take possession of New Jersey and Con necticut, placing them safely in the Democratic column. There is sure enough joy among Democrats both here and in New York. The trend towards Democracy, which first made its impression in New York, is believed to be deep-rooted, and in many quarters a Parker landslide is predicted. This optimism on the part of Democrats is not shared by Republi cane, who are clearly down in the mouth. Although the campaign man agers on both sides are claiming every thing in sight, all political talk now relates to the wonderful change in con ditions which has sent Democratic stock soaring. As the result of this situation interest in the contest is rapidly increasing and feverish anxiety attends the developments of the ebbing days of the contest. There is no longer apathy, which has characterized the campaign until the past few days. Chairman Cortelyou's recent move ments indicate the panicky feeling among Republicans. Sunday he hur ried to Chicago, because it was asserted tbat the situation in Indiana and sev eral western states was far ' from en couraging. Hardly had the national chairman got located before a wail of distress arose among New York Repub licans, and now it is asserted that Cor- telyou is hurrying east to apply heroic treatment to the Republican cause. It is only a short while ago that Republi' cans were condolling with their Deino cratic friends over the situation in the Empire state, and now they are almost frightened out of their wits. The Star, the administration organ in Washington, continues to receive cheering Democratic news from its New York reporter, N. O. Messenger. In a special to his paper this evening he said : "me democratic managers are in an ecstacy of hope over the prospect for the state and electoral tickets in New York. They have not the shadow of doubt that Parker and Herrick will carry the state. The outburst of Democratic enthusiasm in this state is reported in all doubtful states, with the expectation that the cheering news will arouse the faithful in other states to renewed efforts. The word has gone forth from Democratic national head quarters to Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and West 'Virginia and the doubtful western states, 'We will get New York.' " "Hoc'a Brae An 8ot. N. T. Cor. Charlotte Observer. New York, Nov. 1. Owing to the way in which the great mass meeting at which Judge Parker was the prin cipal speaker eventuated last night Democratic national headquarters was a cheerful place to day. They was something like a spasm of renewed ac tivity, and more confidence in the ulti mate success of the ticket was shown than at any time during the campaign. Secretary Urey Woodson coined a more or less elegant political metaphor in telling the assembled newspaper men how it was all over except the shouting. lie said he had just received a straight tip from Washington tha Republicans were panjp-atricken over the numerous evidences of growing Democratic sen timent, anl that everybody now real ized that the "hog's eyea were sot," which bit of Kentucky colloquilliam be ing interpreted means that in the opin ion of Democratic leaders the Republi can hog has been stuck and the ani mal's eyes have taken on the glassy stare. Judge Parker haa succeeded in arousing the angry passions of Repub licans of both high and low iftree. Taa Beat Llalaaent.

Baltimore Suno After an absence of over 12 years in the Klondike cold region Mr. Millard F. Thompson arrived in Baltimore yea terday morning and is the guest of his brother, Mr. R. Ellis Thompson, of 815 kWilliams street. With regard to his experience in the gold region he said: "I am not so well informed concern ing entire KlondilA, but know tbat in my region the yield of gold this year has not been as great by far as it was several yfcrs ago. The aggregate yield think did not exceed $8,000,000, while two years ago that figure was al most doubled." Asked if the yield bad diminished to any great extent as a result of the vast influx cf prospectors to that country in recent years, Mr, Thompson replied in the negative. The extent of the field," declared Mr. Thompson, "is not even known yet and will not be known until after facilities for working "the mines by draulically shall have been installed. There are enormous quantities of gold bidden in the region which the ordi nary claimants have been unable to reach because of the absence of suita ble facilities for that work." With regard to the future of mining in Alaska Mr. Thompson said that if the reports from there continue to b) as favorable during the. winter as they tuve been thus far this year there would be an enormous influx of gold-seekeis to that country in the spring. "So far," said Mr. Thompton, "between 15,000 and 20,000 claim-holders are already there." Tbe Girl Did u'l A n.wcr Rlg-LI aua In ' iflao Got mad. North Wilkesboro Hustler. An amusing story, really the truth, comes from Uock Ureelc township. Last Sunday a young man who had previously secured his license procured the girl of bis choice and they hied themselves to a justice of the peace for the purpose of being united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Their hearts were light and gay filled with antici pated happiness at least his was, but he was unaware of the feelings, that possessed ber being. After he bad an swered, satisfactorily, the official's questions and it came her turn she balked and all the officer could get from her answer to his questions was," "I will if I can." This did not satisfy the officer and he repeated the question with the admonition that she give the proper answer, but she refused to change. The would-be husband then remonstrated with her and thought he had things right, and the question wa again repeated, but ber only answer was, "I will if I can." At this the husband that "was to be but ain't" be came enraged, jerked the license from the justice of the peace, tore tbe paper into shreds and left. She followed him some distance and asked him if be did not "know how to take fun ?'' He re plied that it was no time to be fooling And the ceremony has not as yet been performed.

Negotiations between Great Britian and Russia looking to a settlement of the North Sea affair are progressing favorably and there is not the slightest danger of any friction arising between the two governments. Tbe constitution of the international commission under The Hague convention is on the verge of settlement TWBLV PBMININB PHILOSOPHT. Woman's Magaslne. A man and his wife may be one,pt they can not wear the same pair of trousers. It tikes a woman to say "dear" in tone tbat makes it sound like a cuss word. In lots of homes the family skeleton sits at the foot of the table and does the carving. The difference between skin and a complexion is tbat you can get the latjer at a drug store. Lots of women would like to be un- haoDilv married so that thev would be a like the heroine of one t those tearful novels. When a pretty giri is careful to pull her skirts down so that her feet won't show it is a sign that she hasn an old pair of shoes. There are lots of old bachelors who would charge at the belching cannon's mouth, who will tremble at the ap proach of a baby. If s girl wears less than a No. 2 shoe you are sure to hnd it out within an hour after you have first been intro duced to her. I know of no situation calling for more real heroism than when a fellow pulls the baby's "pacifier" out of bis pocket by mistake in a crowd. A, fellow may be said to be thorough ly domesticated when he can allow the baby to pull bis hair at 4 o'clock in the morning without getting mad about it. A man doesn't realize his own unim portance until be has attended a meet ing where bis wife "reads a paper." Then he finds out that he is only "Mrs. So-and-so's husband." rensua Repart an Edueallon. The report of the Commissioner of Education for the financial year ended June 30, 1904, shows that 1G,009,361 pupils, or 90 per cent, of the entire population of the country, attended the public schools during that year. As compared with the previous six years, this percentage shows a slight decrease in the number of pupils ss compared with the total population. The total cost of the public school system is given as $251,457,625. This is an increase of $16,000,000 over the previous year. It amounts to $3.15 per capita of total population and $22 75 per capita per pupil. Since 1870, the proportion of male teachers has decreased from 39 per cent, of the entire number to 26 per cent, of tbe entire number the past year. The average compensation for male teachers was $45.98 and $40.51 for females. The enrollment in the private schools for the year is given at 1,093,876. The report estimates that the average schooling given to each inhabitant in 1870 was 672 days, and in 1903, 1,034 days. Last yesr 1,578,632 colored children were enrolled in the. common schools for that race in the sixteen former slave States and the District of Columbia. Since 1876, it is estimated that $130,000,000 has been expended in the education of the colored children in former slave States and nearly six hundred million dollars for tbe came purpose for the white children of the same section. s Boll Weevil Coanlac Faat. An exhaustive report on tbe boll weevil has been made by Assistant State Entomologist R. I. Sniith to Com missioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens, of Georgia. An important and dangerous features regarding this pest, according to Mr. Smitb, is tbe rapidity with which the Ijreevil is moving eastward. Mr. Pmith asserts in bis report tbat if measures to fight the weevil are long delayed in the eastern portion of the cotton belt, it will mean inestimable loss to the cotton planters. Mr. Smith has been in Texas in an official capacity for some time, making a thorough study of the Mexican boll weevil. Prar and Work Sfalaai: Typhoid Paver. A report to the state board of health upon the outbreak of typhoid fever at the Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville, in which there are 350 children, shows that the infection was communicated by flies. The number of cases to date has been on ly5, but of dejths only two have occurred. At tbe request of the officials of the orphanage, special services of prayer have been held by the Baptists all over the state, and the latter have within the past three weeks sent $5,000 to the hos pital as an emergency fund to meet the heavy expense caused by the outbreak.

It is good. We hope that one will go to the wall every minute and that the beach will be literally lined with "busted" suckers. Tbe man who lays down his money expectingto get some thing for nothing should lose and the man who conducts tbe game should also finally be reduced to penury. There is no use to mince words about this end of the game o life, We have often pointed out tbat the whole thing is a gamble from the cradle to tbe grave and it is but that is no reason why a man should stake his Isst dime on the ticker or the turn of a card. If a man has money and can stand the pressure if he loses, well and good. That becomes his own business. But we have seen men in every town in which we have lived who imagined that they could get fich quick by play ing the bucket-shop and every moth er's son of them have finally hit the ceiling. And they didn't just touch the white-coat, but they went through to the laths and the plastering fell and they have been left weary, and old with age, without a nickel to their credit. The bucket-shop game is an alluring one most all dead game sports have hit it in their journey down the pike and there is yet the successful one to tell the story. Some have died rich but they were not through the game. Oihers have been rich for awhile cut a wide swath but finally they strike the ceiling and the rebound that comes with it puts them out of commission. Aa II Looked lo Her.
