From all points in the county
We hear of increasing receipts OF
cotton. The crop is being rapidly
picked and it seems to be the idea
of the farmers to have it gInned
without delay. We have heard
from many sources that the crop is
rapidly opening and as the weather
is fine large seceipts may be ex-
pected.

Last Saturday the United States

Last Saturday the United States
Treasury held 1913, $50, l94.OO in
gold. This is a big lot of money.
When it is remembered that the
above sum is gold, the wonder is
why it does not find its way into
circulation and root out the silver
which the republicans so much
despise.

liable, decent newspaper. 1t is
from this source that the family
derives much that goes into its
fund of knowledge and informa-
ton. A good newspaper carries
blessings with it wherever it goes.

information about the means and
methods, by which he may conduct
his business to his best advantage.
The farmer is the mud-sill upon
which the entire business super
structure is builGed. He is the
creator of wealth and from his
labor springs the labor of the
mechanic, the artizan, the lawyer,
the school teacher, and all other
vocations. God made the farmer
first of mankind and assigned to
him the work of feeding all the
others. This is a great and grand
work. The newspaper strives to
aid him in it by means which less
ems his toll and relieves him Of
irksome and wearisome super
fuous labor. 1t is his friend and
strives, at all times, to turn the
stones that lie in his way and to
make his pathway easy and pleas
ant.
The Journal is strictly a County
newspaper. 1t is orthodox in its
politics and always advocates plans
and policies it honestly believes
to be best for the people. 1t is
the friend of the people and stands
for their rights zealously ard
fearlessly.
1t is tor Lee County first, last
and all the time and strives to
promote the interests Of all its
people. The Journal wants to
double it's circulation. 1t will
make extraordinary efforts to do
this this fall and winter. The
people OF Lee county are blessed
with god crops and general pros
perity. They + able to SUBJ

The difficulties of candy making
nave been greatly exaggerated. Any
one with a little patience can make
very good confectionery.
The easiest candies to make are
those prepared from confectioners'
sugar and eggs. The sugar is of fine
quality mixed with certain gums to
give it consistency and requires no
troublesome boiling, hence it's popular

several eggs are broken and the whites
are separated from the yolks. The
yolks may be set aside for use in some
household operation, as only the whites
are needed for the candy.
For pound box of candy the whites
of two eggs are about sufficient. The
whites are put in cup and mixed
with an equal quantity of water and
about half a teaspoonful of extract of
vanilla or whatever other favoring
extract is to be used. The LIQUID is

eign ladies in national costumes await
ed them. The music on the piano
struck up and the girls started. On
they went, keeping step to the march
until they reached the table and each
girl stood in her place. Not a mistake
had been made; the girls were radiant
with happiness. The signal was given
and suddenly the table was blaze of
light. The pyramid of snowy cakes
and the sparkling candies and brilliant
fruits and tiny bowers and wreaths
made fairy scene. A burst of adj
miration went round the table "Oh!
oh! oh! oh!' sounded from one to an
other. They We're too delighted to
speak, when suddenly a scream
brought everybody back from fairy
land. 1t was Lily Langhorne. "The
dolls! Oh, the dolls. where are the
dolls? Oh! oh! oh!'
Then every girl asked the same ques-

L was just before the Christmas OF
1853 that four little Alabama girls
were as busy as four little girls
Lily Langhorne, Lucy Waller, Mat
tie HARDWOOD and Lizzie Ella Manning
could be. They We're to have dolls
party on the Monday after Christmas,
and they could talk of nothing else.
Hal Stanley discovered that the girls
mad a project on hand. The whisper
Ing behind desk lids and around the
stove, and the long conferences during
recess, told the secret, although the
strictest silence about their plans was
maintained in the presence of the boys.
Lily often let slip an unguarded re-
mark about the coming festiyity, and
then clapped her hands over her
mouth if she saw Hal Stanley near,
for Lizzie Ella had said over and over
again. whatever you do, Lily Lang
horne, don't you tell Hal Stanley. 1
don't want him to know one word
about it until it is all over!"
Il say so, too!' exclaimed Matte
Harwood, why, aren't you going to
let him como to the party?" asked Lily,
in q pathetic voice.
Let him Gomez said Lizzie Ella.
'l'm astonished at you, Lily Lang
horne. Don't you know Hal Stanley
we'll enough to know we don't want
him at our party? What are you think
ing about?'
Il thought maybe you'd let him
come, after we had finished fiXin' our
things?" said Lily
well, you thought wrong he shan't
come any time if | have anything to
do with it. asserted Lizzie Ella
He let's me ride on his pony some
times, and leads him all around the
front yard" said Lily, meekly.
Eyes, and pinches you when he takes
you off the pony, doesn't he?" retorted
Lizzie Ella.
"He don't pinch me hard" insisted
Lily.
well, Lily I.anghorne. you are Il
strange girl, l declare. l should think
you wouldn't want him at the party"
answered Lizzie Ella, with Il toss of
her head.
"Oh. 1 don't want him, if you don't,
Lizzie Ella. Only he said he was
comm. anyhow said Lily.
Every WELL said Lizzie Ella, still
provoked, none of the boys shall come
if Hal Stanley is to come If he comes
I shall not come and my sister shall
not make the dolls dresses. and I
won't lay my hand to thing. l did
think we could have some boys and
have q dance, but Wen have girls
enough to make q set"
1T would be nice 10 have some
boys" said Matte HARDWOOD. ED.
Waller can dance"
well, We can't have them. My
mother says we cannot invite the other
boys and not invite Hal Stanley, and [
--will-not-have-Hal Stanley at our
dolls party, Now, you've got it," said
Lizzie Ella de6antly, as she walked
away from the group of girls.
And so it was settled that the dolls
party should he enjoyed without the
presence of boys, and the preparations
for the event began. The Saturday
before the eventful Monday the table
was already decorated with frosted
cakes and fruits and candies. The
dolls in all their finery were in their
seats.
The table was beautiful The bright
colored candles and the gay dresses of
the dolls shone among bouquets and
garlands and bowers. Everything had
been arranged to perfection, and the

And where were the dolls? There in
the chair of each one sat a dirty rag
doll with a black face and a woolly
head, wearing red calico turban in
stead of n wreath of roses.

leyr screamed Lizzie Ella.

During the excitement a servant
opened a closet door. in corner of the
room.

Mrs. Langhorne, ''hyah's de dolls. Fer

And sure enough there hung the
dolls. The Partisan lady, with her
hands tied behind her back, was hang
ing from peg; the Spanish lady was
dangling by her feet; the Switzerland
lady was tied and gagged so that she
could not speak one word; and the la
dies of Russia and Holland, Denmark
and Sweden and Prussia were hanging
in disgrace.
Mrs. Langhorne's scissors cut the
gallows, and she handed to each girl
her treasure. The fine spangles and
laces had suffered from the execution,
but the lady dolls were soon placed at
the table and the rag dolls were
thrown aside with contempt
''Your dolls are not dead if they have
been hanged" said Mrs. Langhorne
"They are as much alive as they ever
were.'

also declared that mo country has been

Premier Balfour declared the United
States had not suggested arbitration.
He denied that the government had
acted hastily.
A significant point in the British Pre-
mler's statement was that, in so far as
the financial claims were concerned, the
British government was prepared to
agree to tribunal to assess them equit
ably, but the crux of the matter was
series of outrages by Venezuelans en-
British seanen and shipowners.
The issue of the parliamentary pa
pers has, to considerable extent, but
not altogether, abated the public I'M
patience with the government The
against Venezuela are held to fully JUS
tify the employment OF force to obtain
satisfaction. The feeling against the
linking itself to Germany, whose claims
are. supposed to be purely financial, still
runs high.
This strong feeling is all outcome OF
apprehension that some impulsive &C

protest most strongly, and it is asked

In short, all the opposition newspa-
pers, as we'll as many of those in sym

that the friendship OF the United States
is too precious to be risked either for

lead to an amicable settlement OF the
