JEALOUSY.
There is an old sin called jeal
ousy that has the fangs of an ad -
der, the slyne&s of the scorpion
and the coil of a worm that never
dies, turly remarks ao exchange,
jealousy is in every nation, in ever
community, in every litrrary and
professional circle. It is the fath*
er and mother of one-half the dis
contentment, outrages and woes
of the human race, it is .the thun
der of other people’s popularity
souring the milk of our kindness,
jealousy put a stick in the hands
of the first boy that was born and
now it pierces the earth like a fiery
diamiter, and evelops it like a fiery
circumference. And it wants the
heavens, it will delude you with
the idea that you can build your
self up by pulling somebody down.
Surely, this world is large enough
for us all, let us not stab some one
in the back, just to satisfy our
own selfish greed. When we see
others do good, let us try to be
better; when we see otheri more
industrious, let us work more
hours, A1 ways remember you are
not the first man to have his faults
looked at through a microscope
and his virtues through the wrong
end of a telescope. We want to
grind beneath our feet that pas
sion which would if it could cap
ture the palace of God, dethrone
jehovah, and chain rhe Almighty
in eternal exile and after the de
molition of the universe would cry
out: “Satisfied at last, me the un
disputed and everlasting jealous.

The Georgia Senate passed
without a dissenting vote the
House child labor bill, which,
without doubt, will receive the
approval of Goyernor Terrell.
The bill prohibits the employment
in any manufacturing establish
ment in the State of any child un
der 12 years of age, the employ
ment of any child under 14 years
of age at night work, the employ
ment of any child under 14 unless
such child can read and write and
the employment of any person un
der 18 years of age unless such
person shall have attended school
at least three months during the
preceding year.
Hon. Earl Brewer’s campaign
speeches are receiving more com*
ment from the press than that of
any other candidate for governor.
His bold, aggressive enunciations
are being criticised by those
against him as well as commen
ded by those supporting him.
He is an able man and is going to
continue to proclaim the princi
ples upon which he has pitched
his campaign and will no doubt,
more and more, provoke the
political wrath of a certain set.

The first Confederate monu
ment erected in the South was at
Liberty, Nov. 26,1866. Mississippi
did some other notable things
“first.” This State, was first to
abolish imprisonment for debt;
first to remove the common law
disabilities of married women;
first to “solve the problem of
white supremacy in the South by
lawful means;” first to charter an
institution of learning for the
higher education of young women;
first to make its judges elective—
although this system now no
lenger exists. Now she seems to
have been also first in honoring
the heroes of the Confederacy.
John Lane, of Washington now
80 years of age, says that he is
the only man now living who has
seen the face of George Washing
ton. When a boy eight years of
age, he was present in May, 1834,
when the body of Washington was
removed from the old family vault
at Mount Vernon to the tomb
where it now lies. At the time of
the removal the lid of the leaden
coffin was removed, and all
present at the ceremony were per*
mitted to gaze upon the face of
Washington, which was perfectly
preserved. At no time during the
seventy-two intervening years
has the coffin again been opened.

SOUTHWEST
The Lhnd of Big Crops and Prosperity.
Are you makiDg as much off your farm as you ought? No doubt you
are making as much as you can. Thetrouble is the land costs too much,
it takes too much money to buy a big farm, and so you are trying to make »a
ivingon a small farm, or perhaps you are renting one and paying a good
share of what you raise, in rent, Wouldd’t it be better to go where the
price of good laud is so little that you can own a big farm—where every
acre of the ground is working for yqu and all you raise is paying you good
profits.
-There are thousands of acres of fertile land in the Southwest along
the line of the Cotton Belt Route that can be bought for from $3 to |10 an
