The Indians regard the coca with extreme
reverence. Won Tschudi, the Austrian sci
enlist who made most thorough study or
the ancient customs of the 1ncas, says:
During divine worship the priests chewed
coca leaves, and unless they We're supplied
with them it was believed that the favor
Of the god could not be gained. 1t was
also deemed necessary that the supplicator
for divine grace should approach the priests
with an 'aculIico' in his mouth. 1t was
believed that any business undertaken
without the benediction of coca leaves
would not prosper, and to the shrub itself
Worship was rendered During an interval
of more than 300 years Christianity has not
been able to subdue this deep-rooted idola-
try for everywhere we find traces of belief
in the mysterious powers of this plant. The
excayators in the mines of Cerro del Pasco
throw chewed coca upon the hard veins OF
metal in the belief that 1t softens the ore
and renders ii more easy 10 WORK Inc
Indians even at the present time put coca
leaves in the mouths of dead persons in
order to secure them favorable reception
on their entrance into another world, ana

one of the scientific explorers who has
been working up in this region told me his
axnerience with a coca chewer. "A man
was employed by me- he said, lin very
laborious digging. During the FIVE days
and nights he was in my service he never
tasted food and took only two hours sleep
each night but at intervals of two hours
and n half or three hours he repeatedly
cheUed about half an ounce of coca leaves
and kept an 'acullico continually in his

me on a two days journey across the level

he would willingly engage himself again
for the same amount of work and that he

The Texas Farm and Ranch correctly
remarks a truism. It says editorially
'The daily papers continue to con-
graduate the farmer on "10-cent cot
ton" and one of them shows cartoon
of a satisfied farmer with big dinner
pail filled with 10-cent cotton. This
Is largely misleading. Cotton is not
selling at 10 cents per pound. AT one
time during the season middling cotton
at Houston reached 10 cents, and some
few bales OF specially high grades may
have brought that price at some up
country points; but at no time has one
bale in fifty offered brought that price,
and now and for many weeks the price
has been for the prevailing grade, low
middling, close to 81 to 81 cents. 1t
is rare, indeed, that the farmer sue
ceeds in marketing his cotton at the
prevailing quotations: they rather
show the transaction of spectators.
Even 8 cents for low middling cotton
is fairly profitable price for the staple,
but where is the good in telling the
farmer how happy he should be over
1O-cent cotton when he gets cents?

DARK DAYS FOR BANK CLERKS

Not satisfied with mere surveillance
of their clerks, many banks in New

of conyivial habits. Every emploYe
given to gambling is to be dropped. In
proof of its sincerity the German Saw

merely because detectives who were
hired to watch them discovered they
were laying bets on races in certain
pool rooms. Officials of the bank hast

institution is getting on the safe side
these days. Even the news of Alvord' s
capture has not allayed uneasIness

SERIOUS CUTTING ARRAY
Negro Porter and White Man Fight

ting ARRAY occurred on the 10 O'Clock
train of the Chattahoochee Valley rail
road. Lon Hawkins, an employe of the
West Point Manufacturing company

and sustained severe injuries from
a fall, while John Lumpkin, tie negro
porter on the train, had long cash ex-

The trouble arose when several men
had a negro picking banjo in the car.
Lumpkin was ordered TO stop the fuss
or put the men of. Words passed be-
tween Hawkins and Lumpkin. Both
drew knives and began cutting and then
closed in on each other. BY some means
Hawkins stumbled and fell backward
out of the baggagecar door, thereby sus-
tanning serious injnries.
