The Air We Breathe.

pr. Rad cliffe Hall makes the fol. lowing interesting calculation on the amount of air a human being of the average size and proportions will consume Tn the space of one minute when in repose and also when in different degrees of activi- ty. When at rest we consume 500 cubic inches of air per minute; if we walk at the rate of one mile an hour, we use 500; two miles, 1000; three miles an hour, 1,600; four miles an hour, 2,300. If we start out and run six miles a hour, WIG will consume 5000 cubic inches oI air every minute of that time.

The question of building Q court. house for St. Francis county is be- yond peradventure, and the Judge and Commissioner are only wait. ing to get a concensus of opinion KS to where to place it. The Times invited an expression through its columns, and Mr. l.. Rollwago re- piled with eight objections to the hill site. No one has seen fit to re- ply to his article, consequently u must be taken for granted that his objections are unanswerable. The elevation. frontage, etc., of the building must be considered in drawing the plans, and as the time is short, objections for or against the hill site should be made known. The columns of The Times are still open.

The Cotton Growers Conventi

The Cotton Growers Convention met at Waco, Texas on the Sth and 9th and at Memphis on the 10th, and the assoclation of the south eastern portion of the cotton belt will meet in Augusta. Ga, next Monday. A similar meeting will De held in Mobile at an early date. It IS all very well to meet and tres olute" on this matter of reduction ot the cotton crop. or to raise more food commodities for home con- sumption. Now we think the time for action has arrived; the farmers should let their deeds be known by their fruits along this line. It is altogether false policy for A to increase his acreage of cotton upon the theory that B will pursue the line of reduction in acreage. That old racket is stale and very trans parent, as is evidenced by four and six cent cotton.

4 CLEAR LIGHT.

l think the writers for the Housekeeper are imbued with tho spirit of helpfuIlness. When they see or know of good thing, or can cheer a sorrowing heart, they never fail to use the pen to good purpose. Careful readers of the paper find many good receipts, easier methods of laundering houseceleaning, and learn how to do pretty fancy work. 1 have had a delightful visit in country home and learned how to keep a lamp in perfect condition. Cleanliness IS the first law absolute cleanliness. Plunge the burners every morn. ing into a basin of hot water, in which a bandful of pearline is dis. solved. Rub thoroughly. rinse in warm water, wipe till clear, and dry with a soft woolen rag and polish with old newspapers. Nev. CT omit this for single day. You will lhave a bright, clear light, with no odor, specks or sediment about the lamp. Try it.-House. hold.

The grand jury failed to find a bill against Jno. A. Sells charged with hog stealing who was bound over to the circuit court by 'Squire Nelson in November. This case has cost the county about $500 or about l-26 of the entire revenue of the county. Space forbids the re- view of the mass of testimony in
 this case, but it is evident that some change in the statute bearing on such cases is of imperative necessi-

BULLS AND BEARS.

The Memphis Sclmetar in com menting on the effect the bulls and bears have on the price of cotton, says neither class can override the law of supply and demand, and further remarks that the people who grow the cotton have the slt- uation in their OWL hands. 1t is they and not the spectators, who can control the market to the ex. tent of securing fair return for their labor and capital invested. Tho worlds consumption of Amer ican cotton is easity ascertained. Take the lowest figures as a basis of calculation and it will not be hard to estimate the number of bales that can probably be dispos- cd of at remuneratlve prices dur ing the season ahead. Then let the farmers plant for a crop not to exceed that supply of current cot ton. If last seasons crop was too large by any gwen per cent. let them so reduce their cotton acre. age as to cut off the excess.
 Tbat is the common sense solu. tion, and the only one. If the farmers cannot, or will not do this, then they should take what com es and place the blame on themselves where it belongs.
 It is easy enough to get up and roar about "future gambling" and "monopolies," and the "money devil" but that kind of talk but. ters no parsnips: It won't stand analysis.

 Tn speaking of the unioue pro

In speaking of the unique pro- ductions of the mod ern legislative genius, the Atlanta Constitution says: .'These senseless and idiotic measures, however are not wholly devoid of good, lnsomuch as they show the need of sending our best men to the legislature. The law makers of a state should represent It's virtue and intelligence, and to this end should be chosen from among the number of its best citi- zens. Until such a reform as thls 5 put into effect the country must hope Tn vain to be delivered from freak legislation.
