On time or for cash? What is the
difference between the two ways of
doing businessp Let us see. A good
commercial fertilizer containing from
II to ~ per cent OF ammonia sells, on
time, practically at about $50 per ton.
The same fertilizer can be bought now
for cash at about $27 per ton. Here is
a difference of about Sc per ton in favor
of the cash buyer. What per cent Of
interest is that on the cost price? The
cash time with sellers is May 1. That
is to say. il you pay by that date you
get your fertilizer at the cash prices.
Reckoning from May /, it is six
months till November, or seven
months till the LIST of December, by
which time the bill must be paid. or
you will be looked after closely and
sharply. Say seven months. The in
terest the farmer pays on $27 for seven
months, say IS, which is q fraction
over thirty-eight per cent per-annum-
Cipher it out for yourself. The figures
are correct Can farmers ever prosper
in that kind of businessP
Or suppose the farmer buys on the
cotton-option plan. He agrees to de-
liver in November $40 pounds OF mid
ding cotton for q ton Of fertilizer.
He gives his note for $50. 50-S75
pounds of cotton at ten cents. In due
time he takes his cotton to market
II it classes middling, he pays
his bill with 375 pounds, no matter
what the market price for the day is.
II middling cotton is worth nine cents
on the day he settles, he pays $3.50
with 1915 worth OF cotton. just here
is where some farmers are deluded-
dumfuzxled with the idea that they got
ten cents for cotton when the market
was only nine cents. utterly oblivious
of the fact that they have paid IS more
than the cash price of the fertilizer. or
thirty-eight per cent on cost Granted
for arguments sake that the farmer
ought to pay interest on his debt. Ten
per cent is very high rate of interest,
but say ten per cent. That rate on $27
for seven months amounts to $1.572.
Take this from IS. and it leaves a. 424,
which the farmer pays over and above
the current money-lending rate OF in

Henrietta cloth is the material used
for the first mourning dress,
Warm weather fancy work should not

Never any fashion in dress died so
hard as the hustle, but 1t is almost gone,
Every well regulated costHWgbears a
fan attachment at the present time,
White flannel gowns look cool: their
Wearers do not, unless the day is frigid.
There are fans and fans, but the good
~old'fashloned palm leaf takes the prize.
The straight skirts which are now so
fashionable measure four and half yards
around.
Blazers are closed with one button at
the throat, or three buttons placed lower
down,
Wooden dresses oil different weights
are the most appropriate fabrics for sea-
side costumes,
Discomfort is known to be possible
even TO q girl with red cheeks and adm
pie in her chin,
Roof gardens are not the fashion, but
Is right to pray that they may BIO in
the near future,
The woman who does not wear q cor
set has an advantage over the one who
does at this time OF the year,
Accordion-plaited skirts are in high
favor In Paris, so their lease OF life Is
likely to be extended here,
Crepe de chine is the prettiest fabric

atlanta CondtdtOa,
Not long after the war q circus came
to Montgomery. 1t was the first circus
that had been there In a long time and
attracted IN immense crowd, especially
OF the negroes. The most interesting fea-
ture OF the entertainment was the bal
loon ascension. The negroes had never
seen anything Of that kind, and regard.
ed the spectacle Of a man sailing pinto
the clouds very much as they would
have looked upon Elijah going up In a
chariot OF fire. The balloon sailed away
eight or ten miles and came down In a
field where some negroes were plowing.
Terrified at the spectacle Of a chariot
coming down from heaven they verify
believed that tho last great day had
come, : and remembered all their
Shortcomings, fled away in terror at
the approach Of the awful Judge. One
grey.headed aud rheumatic old negro
was unable TO get away. He could fol.
low the plough but could not run, and
the chariot came down on him with ter.
rible swiftness. At that awful moment
his whole life rushed upon him. He
thought Of al! the petty sins he had
committed, and the ghosts Of a hundred
chickens seemed to rise up in judgment
against him. But In that desperate
emergency his mind did not desert him,
aud remembering that %politeness always
counted with hil earthly master he
quickly decided to greet the Lord Of
heaven and earth In becoming style. As
the seronaut touched the earth and be-
gan to entangle himself from the meshes
about his car the old larky, with an air
Of profound obeisance, removed the wool
hat from his shiny pate, bowed low and
said with pious unCtioni III,

Some Novel Suggestions Mt the Recent State
Medical Congress.
BOaOn Herald,
The connection between heat and
what Is known as Summer complaint"
was recently discussed at a meeting OF
the Illinois State Medical Society, The
fact was emphasized that continuous
high temperature, acting upon the very
delicate nervous system OF children,
seriously affects the digestive functions,
and so invites diarrhpal disorders. Ac.
Cepting this theory, cold, OF course, sug-
gested itself as q remedy. 1--WE should
not wait for the little ones during the
warm weather to become sick, but begin
the use OF tepld bathing, cool or cold
water, Use 1t freely, aud let it-be OF a
temperature suited to each individual
case. II these suggestions were acted
upon, and a more liberal use OF the
remedies at hand employed, the lives OF
many children wouldbe saved"
One physician present at the meeting
in question said that in his practice he
teaches families 10 keep the babies cool,
and they do 1t in this way: Just as soon
as they begin to feel the effects OF heat,
iaces red and head tossing about, crying,
etc, instead Of giving them extra food
Of some kind, part OF their clothing is
removed; II it Ia. excessively hot they
take or more. The children are then
wiped down with tepid water and allow.
cd to lie on the floor naked, Insufficient.
ly hot, and there they may remain all
day. Toward evening, when the
weather becomes cooler, their clothing
Is put on. With this line Of treatment
the children had no dlarrhma, indiges.
ton or any trouble during the summer.
He Is rarely called to see q case OF acute
dlarrh@a in infants during the summer.
