THE COTTON AREA WIDENING

Russia is making experiments In cot
ton culture, with very successful re-
suits, thus far, it is said. According 20
the best information that can be had'
before great while Russia Will raise
all the cotton she needs for home con-
sumption. Indeed, she many even come
into competition with the South for the
cotton trade of other countries. This
causes the South no alarm, however
The area for the production of cotton
has been gradually widening for many
years and is now more than double
as large as it was at the beginning of
the civil war.
But this change will not hurt the
South. It will only cause her to d.
vers1fy her crops more, to build up her
farm lands and make them more pro-
ductive.
Many of our most intelligent farmers
in the original cotton belt have long
since realized that the time would
come when Texas, Indian Territory
and other sections west of the Missis
sippi would have a great advantage
over them in the production of cotton.
These lands are fresher and more pro-
ductive than those in the original cot
ton belt. Crops are raised with less
work and at smaller cost.
Naturally, changes in the methods
of farming in states like Georgia must
follow. Great plantations must be cut
up into small farms, crops must be
diversified, lands must be built up and
made more productive by systematic
change of crops and fertilization. In
the end, the new system will be better
than the Old
Here in she old south, almost every
variety of crop can be grown. Peach :
es, apples, grapes and other fruits must
be made money crops. Tobacco can be
proftably grown. Tea can be raised
in sections at a good profit. Corn and
grain and hay crops must be enlarged.
Sugar cane and potatoes must be
grown more extensively. All of these
things can be easily accomplished by
the intelligent, progressive farmer.
Let countries that Will, grow their
own cotton. The South is all right.
With her wonderful climate and soil
adapted to the cultivation of multi
pIicity of crops, this favored section
cBn prosper and make good progress,
without raising a stalk of cotton, il
the time should ever come when such
a course should be necessary .-Colum.

PLAIN PEOPLE NEVER MARRY

Commenting on the announcement
that O. W. Morse, the mult1-millionaire
organizer and head of the ice trust, of
New York, is to be married to an At
lanta, Ga, Divorce ''of great beauty
and wealth." the Savannah News is
moved to this philosophical out giving
isn't it little singular, by the way,
that only those who are great, rich,
handsome, talented, beautiful, ETC., get
married. In the case of the man he is
always distinguished above his fellows,
and in the case of the woman she is
one of the most beautiful and accom-
plished of her sex. No plain people
ever go to the marriage altar: but lots
of them become mighty ordinary after
wards"

BONI WAS OF SOME USE.

Count Boni Oastellane has served at
least one good purpose, the Savan-

upon him that it is not necessary to
use the knife in every case of appen-
dlcitis. Boni had that complaint The
doctor gave him the oil treatment, fol-
lowed by the use of the compress. His
recovery has been complete. DIR Terry,

ment would be found effective.

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause only Re-
Gently Diseoverea.

1t has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh OF from
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
| from the throat is lined with a sort Of
velvety structure called mucous mem
bT8ne. This mem brane IS simply a con-
tinuatfon of the mucous membrane lining
the throat. When disease of any sort
attacks the mucous membrane Of the
throat it is very liable 10 extend into
the Eu5tachian tube and up into the ear.
TIE history Of nearly all eases of deaf
ness is like this. a cold is contracted ard
neglected, other colds are taken, the
throat becomes sore and infamed which
is aggravated by particles Of dust and
germs from the air. This condition causes
the disease IS spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
It seems a little far-fetcbed TO say that
most eases Of deafness are caused from
catarrh, but It is certainly true. and
anyone who has had a severe catarrhal
cold must have noticed how the hearing
was affected while the cold lasted.
| With cataTrh sufferers this impairment Of
hearing becomes chronic and grows worse
the longer the catarrh is neglected
You can cure catarTh and deafness by
the regular use of an excellent new prem
arati0n called Stuart's Eatarrf Tablets
iSAAAkJJSC0 VI el1AlSCifNi@ A@silEA-E5 WHICH
! act not only on the mucous membranes but
principally and most effectuaIIy on the
blood, eliminating the catarrhal poison
! from the system
People whose hearing is defective may
think il a little remarkable that simple
and harmless tablet would very often re-
move all traces OF deafness. but when it
is remembered that catarrh causes the
deafness and that the catarTh is easily
cured By the regular use of Stuart 9
CataTrh Tablets there Is no mystery about
it
Il you are subject to nasal catarrh or
catarTh of throat, bronchial tubes or
| catarrh of stomach and liver, the safest
and most effective treatment is the new

FREIGHT STRIKE BROKEN.
HEez, Not Likely to Receive Ala From,
Brotherhood.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The indications
at the Harlem River yards of sae New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
this morning were that the strike had
been broken. as far as any effect on the
traffic might be concerned.
The company had 225 men at work in
the yards this morning, and all freight
was being handled in good shape. The
number OF strikers that went out vas
SEQ, SO that the company has almost sue
cSeded n filing all their places.
AS the company has stopped taking
freight from tae< Jersey City depots and
some other points and sending it through
the Harlem yards the present number
oe men is quite adequate for handling the
freight there properly.
Everything was moving smoothly in the
yards, although the new men have not
become accusf toned to the complicated
system Of switches The only accident OF
any nature occurred early this morning,
when six empty boxcars that we're being
moved were overturned. The cars were
! backed too far. ran on another switch,
and were overturned. The cars were not
damaged and no one was hurt There was
| a report that the cars had been thrown
over by strikers, but it was purely an ae-
cident.
The strikers appeared very disheartened
| this morning when they saw the way the
| freight was being handled and the rail-
road officers say that they expect many
OF them TO apply for reinstatement. Tn
less an agreement to-that effect should be
reached later, none of the strikers will
be taken back. The only hope Of the local
| strikers seems to lie IN the men at the
/ New Haven end OF the line.
Vice Chief Fitzpatrick. who has been
here for three days, has practically said
that the strikers need expect no help
from the brotherhood because the men
went out in a bulIheaded way in viola
ton of the rules of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen.- Mr. Fitzpatrick said
/ that the grievance committee that went
| to New Haven had not consulted him.

FATHER VATTMAN'S MISSION.
Mystery in Connection with F'repos
Ell Trip 30 Philippines.

There is something of a mystery enyeI-
oDing the proposed trip to The Philip
pines of Chaplain z. J. vattmanu, of the
Twenty-ninth Infantry Chaplain Watt
mann is a Roman Catholic and some weeks
ago ne came to Washington and secured
an audience with the President for the
purpose Of securing official permission
TO go 20 the islands.
Chaplain VatImann believed that he
could have some influence with the Fill
Pinos. il securing a peaceful understand
ing between the church authorities and
the people. He was further clothed with
authority from the Pope to use his best
eRdeayors in such a direction. and il was
represented TO the President that the
Vatican endorsed and looked with favor
upon Father Vattmann's project
After q brief talk with the President,
Father Yattnann returned to his post al
Fort Sheridan. It was his expectation
that the War Department officials. iaelud-
ing Secretary Root, would give him the
necessary. permission TO go to Manila in
an Official capacity.
Secretary Root. however. did not see
what could be gained by sending Father
Vattman 10 Manila. and it is said that he
so explained to Mr. Roosevelt It is
certain, however. that the President did
not give the chaplain the written au-
thority which he sought, and that Secre-
tssTy Root IS opposed TO having the chap
lain interfere with official matters
Secretary Root holds that the Philip
pine Commission is fully able TO handle
matters Of state without the interference
Of outside influence.
