W.IEN WHO VTBXTE.
A Delightful Comparative Stady
"With the "Writing Man.
AVhen a man writes he wants pomp
and circumstance and eternal space
from which to draw. If ho writes at
home, says the Ronton Advertiser, he
needs a study or a library, and he wants
the key lost and the keyhole pasted
over to that no one can disturb him.
His finished products are of much im
portance lo him, and, lor a time, he
wonders why the planets have not
changed their orbits or the sunshine
acquired a new brilliancy because he
h is written something by a castiron
method.
A woman picks up some scraps of a
copybook or the back of a pattern,
sharpens her pencil with the scissors or
gnaws the end sharper. She takes an
old geography, tucks her foot under
her, sucks her jKjncil periodically and
produces literature.
She can write with Genevieve pound
ing out her exercises on the piano,
with Mary buzzing over her history
lesson for to-morrow, Tommy teasing
the baby, and the baby pulling the
cat's tail. The domestic comes and
goes for directions and supplies, but
the course of true love runs on, the
lovers woo and win, and the villains
kill and die among the most common
place surroundings.
A man's best efforts, falling short of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman who writes will often, with the
stump of a pencil and amid thedistrac
tions aoove mentioned, produce a ten
der bit of a poem, a dramatic situation
or a page oi description that, though
critics rave, lives on, travels through
the exchanges and finds a place in the
scrapbooks of the men and women who
know a good thing when they see it,
whether there is a well-known name
signed to it or not.
friendship between the great West and
the growing South. The Herald's
article on the Exposition, Atlanta and
the Piedmont region, covered five pages
and was profusely and beautifully illus
trated. The article is equal to a twelve
mo volume of the average size and
contains much valuable information
about the Exposition, Atlanta and the
South.
The Educational Association are tak
ing a lively interest in the exhibit to
be made at the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition. The subject
was represented in Nashville at the
meeting of Tennessee School Superin
tendents, by E. E. Smith, of Atlanta,
and strong resolutions were adopted
endoisine the Exposition. The same
subject is likely to come up at the State
Teachers Association at Ocala, Fla., and
the Southern Educational Association
in Galveston.
The consuls of several foreign nations
have expressed interest in the Cotton
States and international Exposition,
and have sent home reports to their
governments. Among these are the
consuls ot Spain and Germany at
Savannah, the Consul-General of Co
lombia at New Orleans, the Consul
General of Peru. The Secretary of the
Spanish Legation has also a decided
interest in the Exposition.

Atlanta Exposition Notes.
The arrangements for transporting
exhibits and passengers to and from the
Cotton Stales and International Exposi
tion will be very satisfactory to the
public. Exhibits for the Woman's
Building will be carried free of charge
by the lines of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association. Other ex
hibits return tree after paying full fare
coming. A passenger rate oi one tare
for the round trip will be made by most
of the railways of the country. Within
150 miles of Atlanta, a rate of one cent
a mile will probably ne put on. The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company will
carry exhibits from South and Central
American points reached by its lines
free of charge, and will make liberal
concessions to passengers visiting tne
Exposition.
The acceptances of foreign govern
ments continue to come in with sur
prising regularity. Just before Christ
mas the cable announced that the
Argentine Congre-s had voted an ap
propriation of $15,000 to make an ex
hibit at the Cotton States and Interna
tional Exposition. This is one of the
most extcrprising nations in South
America.
Florida will have a unique exhibit at
the Cotton States an I International
Exposition. It will con-ist of a phos
phate pyramid one hundred feet square
at the base and fifty feet high. The
exterior will be covered with pebble
phosphate and the interior will be fin
ished in Florida woods, and filled with
products of the peninsula. This display
will be made by the Plant system of
ranways, through Col. D. II. Elliott,
manager of the land department.
The appropriations committee of the
Alabama legislature has recommended
provision for a State exhibit at the
Cotton States and International Expo
sition. When the assembly reassem
hies after the recess, favorable action is
expected. Governor Oates recommend
ed this action in a recent message.
One ol the greatest strokes of journal
istic enterprise ever undertaken in
America, is the Chicago Herald's fast
train from Chicago to Atlanta, bearing
the Exposition edition of the paper
with full corps of reporters and Chicago
newsboys in charge of Mr. John J
f linn, the special correspondent who
prepared the edition, and Mr. Robert
Ansley, the business manager of the
Herabl.
The train left Chicago at 2 a. m
Saturday the 20th and reached Atlanta
the same evening, making the trip in
sixteen hours an average of over fifty
miles an hour. Never before has a
morning paper traveled 800 miles before
nightfall. This marks a new era ih
journalism and forms a new bond of
Cotton.
If 7 m in (j ton Messenger .
It is impossible to tell now what the
cotton planters in the South are going
to do as to the crop of 18g5. There is
talk all about of a much smaller acreage.
The present very low price of the staple
unprecedently low giving to the
farmers but little more than 4 cents
ought to be inducement enough lor
them to cut hGavily in the magnitude
of th3 product. Hut it is not certain
that this will be done. It is certain
however, that 5 cent or 4 cent cotton
cannot be made in the South to any
considerable extent. It is certain that
.North Carolina cannot afford to grow
cotton at such a low figure. There are
many close students who are prophcsjr-
ing the future of cotton at a verv low
ligure. A recent article in the iNew
Orleans Times-Democrat is significant,
rinted in such an excellent authority
md in such a city as New Orleans, the
greatest cotton port in the South. We

South."
Read that, think it over, !e wise, act.
If you plant more than half a crop look
out for disappointment sure and heavy.
Cultivate other crops. Make sweet
jiotatoes if you can not make anything
else. Let all concerned in cotton grow
ing look the facts in the face. If you
doubt as to the "future of cotton" look
atho present anl find comfort if you
can in the prices now obtained. The
Charleston Xetrs and Courier says that
"the growers sav there is no money for
them in 5 cent or G cent cotton. They
should go very slow about raising ? or
4h cent cotton. They would isave
i money ry not planting a seed." AVe
agree with it as to the futility of hold
ing meetings and passing resolutions.
Those things have been tried aforetime
and completely failed. Let every level
headed farmer determine for himself
and act upon his judgment if he has
any.
