TEMPERANCE N CASH sToRES.-
There is n mysterious relationship between
tho temperance cadse and the cash store
cause. Wherever one goes the other fol-
lows; no matter which leads off, the other
comes after. They are both exceedingly
popular just now; like the school master,
they are "ntlroad in the land" and IL work
Of reformation and regeneration is being
wrought through their fundamentally,
which, we trust, will eyentuate in more
substantial benefits to the country at large,
than was effected about fifteen months ago,
by means of those novel, yet exciting, and
truly great-western agents, cool skins and
hard cider. Those agents, and those times
were sui gsncr;s. They appeared, and ere
we had breath to exclaim, "Lo, there!'
they were oph. May it not be thus with
temperance and cash stores!-for while
people are temperate, society is p~eacable,
comfortable, happy-8LEsT! and when
tpeople pay cash for all they want, they sci
dces want much, or pay more than the
article is intrinsically worth.
The matter may, and may not be over
acted, or ~over-colored; we cannot say /;
but we are impressed with the opinion that
temperance is gaining more devotees than
is any other cause at the present day-lf
we except the casIn-store cause. In every
village, town and city from St Johns down
East to Natchitoches down South and a
little further, drunkards are making them
selves celebrated by becoming sober, and
telling what worthless, filthy scamps they
have been through life. This naturally
disgusts sober people, and drinking declines
in popularity. In Mobile more than two
thousand have recently joined the temper.
ance society. and in Franklin, this state,
quite one-half the place have become sober;
and it is expected the other half will sool
baceme so, as a cheap cash store is aeoa'
to be opened there, where, it is supposed
~tipplers and every body else will hencefortf
spend all their Floating capital
In this place, two cash stores have becr
established within ten months; and although
vet without a temperance society, and
happily, in very small need Of one, people
talk of organizing, and offering a ohanc'

THE VERY LAST OBSERVATIONS
OF WELLER, SEN,
Remember vot | says, Boy
You're goin' to cross the sea;
n blessed way avays, Boz
To Wild Amerikey:
A blessed set of savagea,
As books OF travels tells;
N oGns'ner's eye to watch you, Boz,
Nor even Samlvels.
They've Established n steam line, Bog
a violent innovation;
It's nothin' but a trap TO 'tice
Our foatin' population:
A set Of blessed cannibals~-
My varnin' / repeats;
For ev'ry vun they catches, Boz,
Without ado they eats'
They'll rat you, Boz, In Boston, and
They'll cal you in New York
Wherever caught they'll play q bles-
Sed game Of knife and fork.
There's prayers in Boston, now that Gu,
Nard's biler may not burst;
Bocause their savage hopa it is,
Dear Boz, to cal you first.
They lately caught a Prince, Boz
A llvin' van. from France
And all tho blessed nation, Boz,
Assemblies for n dancet
They spares him thro' the c%.enin', Box,
But with a hungry stare,
ContrlveH a early shipper, tho,
And then they eats him there!
Just think Of all Of yours, Boz,
Devourod by them already;
Avoid their greedy lures, Boz
Their appetites 10 steady.
For years they've been a f%eastin', Boz,
Nor paid for their repaat;
And wont they make a pleased feast,
When they catchoH you at last I!
Lord! how they gobbIcd 'Pickwickr--fate
Which OLIVER befel;
And watsrin' mouths met iNic' and 'Stnike'
And waterin' eyes as veil!
Poor Nell was not too tender, Boz,
Norugly 'Quilp' too tough;
And 'Barnaby'-aud blest if e'er
thinks they'll have enough.
II tell you vot you doea, boz,
Since 90 it seems you will;
II you vonld not expose, Boz,
Yourself their maws to III.

Within your pocket hem;
For, blow me! if | ever thinks q
They'll ever suallow them!

INTERESTING TO CorTos gRowERs.-
The subjoiued communication from an es-
tcemcd friend and occasional correspon.
dent, will commend itself to our agricultu-
raj readers. They are, of course, better
Judges than VIC are, Of the value Of the
suggestions made by "D." To Us they
appear plausible Enquirer.
PAMELA Co., Miss, Jan. 26, 1912.
Mr.. Editor-It is usual for cotton grow
crs to sun their cotton as they gather it,
and then gin it as early as possible. This,
according to my judgment and expcr':
ence, is clearly wrong. Cotton should
never be summed, unless it be such as has
been gathered quite wet with rain; nor
should it be ginned until it has been heated.
Heat diGuses oil, and we know there is
a large quantity in cotton seed. Now, sir,
put it together as you gather it, both morn:
ing and evening, and there is sufficient
moisture to make 1t heat. This being the
case, the oil in the seed is difInsed through
cut the hnt--for it cannot cvaporate.
When it remains in this situation d sufi-
cient length of time to spoil the seed, the
cotton should then be thrown up and cool
ed. Care should be taken net to let it
turn bIue:-this, however, is not ST. easily
done as you might suppose.
The process Of turning oyer and throw:
Ing UP will likely have to be repeated two
OF three times before the seed are entirely
spoiled. Tho trouble of oyerturning and
tossing it Up in the cotton CT gin house is
not greater than summing it on a scaffold.
BY this process you gain the weight efthe
oil which is digused Throughout the Int,
and which gives the cotton that oily gold
color which is desirable, and also that elias.
ticity and adhesive quality, like, WOOL
which never fails to enhance its value:
But, sir, there are other advantages
growing out of this operation; the gin viii
pick at least aHe.sixth faster, and clean the
| seed much cleaner when the cotton has
been thus compressed together; and instead
of cutting off short PARTICLES, as is Away:
the case when the cott6nis open and sfcsti
the saws take it off in large fakes, thereby
making the staple longer and stronger.
Every farmer knows that his early cot
ton outweighs, and has better staple thai
his late cotton; and he also knows that th'
earlier it Is gathered after it opens the bet
ter. Now, sir, these facts show the cor
rcctness of my theory; for exposure to tn
sun and rains %eyapoIates the oil s-ona IA
seed ardd makes the lint short and light.
Farmers should secure in dry weathe
and from evening pickings, in a house t
itself, or a portion Of the gin. aafioient q
dry good cotton, to make seed, but the bal
ance Of their crop they should be sure t
subject to the process of heating and COO
ing in the shade. It is said that the Brit
! ish East India edtton is vastly Inferior !
ours at present. If we can make Dull co
ton still better, the danger from that qua
ter will be lessened.
