coIorinq Cotton While Growing.

From the Russell Register.
 The Ashville Aegis tells us something entirely new in the growth of the fieecy staple. The Aegis says: It Is now claimed that an important discovery has been made that will revolutionize cotton production. Butler County claims the se- cret of this discovery which, 1t is said. will result in coloring the product in it's growth. In other words the cotton is to be raised in colors. Experiments have been recently made and success is re- ported, but 1t will take more than words and reports to demonstrate the truth of the new thing In the cotton field.

Cotton Mill for Round Mountain.

From the Coosa River News.
 Passing these points on the wing We'd nesday, or. rather foot-back, the scribe observed that improvements are under way and on foot which may mean great deal for Blue Pond and Round Mountain. Rumor has 1t that a cotton factory at Round Mountain is almost assured while another idea is held to that the Chatta- nooga Southern is to be extended toward Center and on toward the South. Any how, the branch line of that railroad is having substantial improvements made upon it between those points, for some reason.

The Luke Pryor Stranded.

From the New Decatur vitoscope.
 While the river was recently so high the Luke Pryor steamer which has for so many years been a familiar sight on the Tennessee river, was carried high up on the bank near the Oak Extract plant, and left by the soon after receding wa ters, high and dry and badly careening on the side next to the river. The steamer Young fastened on to her and attempted to pull her off. but the Pryor had become damned on stump and when the strain came she parted in two, rendering the old boat practically useless. The Pryor was in charge of Captain Mike Camody. ~

MEDITATIONS
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE |

The parasite, which is Justly deemed
an odious sinilitude as applied to the
capitalist for his living upon the labor
of Others. is the correct and honorable
relationship of the individual to the
state. 1t is natures order, repeated,
sanctioned and made sacred through
out her vast realms.
Most OF us have read about the in
dependent spirit" and "self reliance"
and "self help" and some of us have
noted the class of society from which
this propaganda of a love for freedom
and personal independence has pro-
coded. So far as | can remember the
most of them are well fed parasites,
and this | say not to their discredit,
since every individual is of necessity
parasite. The individual thing can
not live off the back of society. There
is as little opening for freedom or in
dependence of life for the individual
man as there is for the vermin which
your beggar is casting off
On the city, on society, on his fell
lows, every individual must live. The
only other thing manly (if he must
needs have some other sort of MAINLY
for him to do in the premises is to
make his mind up, since he must live
on society to also live in it. When
this step is taken, the mere parasite
becomes a partner with the life he
feeds upon; he preserves its health and
vigor, and Identifies his own life with
social human life. He is living IN So
ciety, not on it alone. He is an asso-
ciationist.
Is Sancho Panza of Havana to be
fed? The way to feed him is to Wet
ual the city of Havana. If Sancho
Panza is to be fed and Havana not
fed, then Sancho Panza is not worth
feeding! And he shall not be fed.
Is Sancho Panza's way to the dwell
ing of his cousin in the suburbs to be
lit? Then the city of Havana from
