Furniture Men
Have Troubles

New York, Sept 11.LFurniture pur-
chases by hotel men are threatening
the peace of the furniture trade Of the
United States. Il has been the us
tom of furniture manufacturers to
treat with purchasers for hotels on
the basis of wholesale buyers. Retail
dealers have taken formal action to
force the manufacturers to consider
the hotel men as retailers and quote
prices accordingly While there has
for long time been grumbling by the
retailers, the matter has not taken the
form of an organized movement until
this week, when the National Associ-
alton of Retail Furniture Dealers sent
formal notification to the manufac,
turers of furniture throughout the
United States that any further sales
to hotel men at wholesale rates will
be considered an "unfriendly act" and
treated accordingly.
The manufacturers do not relish
what they term the attempted dicta-
tion Of the retailers and say they win
makes sales to hotel men as the trade
warrants. On the side of the manu-
facturers the claim is set up that hotel
furniture Is, i'm a measure, a class by
Itself; that the buyer is not purchas-
ing for his own personal use, or profit,
but for the accommodation OF the pub
lie; that no private individual buys or
can be expected to buy on the scale or
in the quantity that the hotel man
does; that he is to all lntents and
purposes a wholesale buyer. and in
consequence is entitled to the same
consideration.
The retailers association claims
that the hotel man purchases for his
own use and for his own house; that
in affording him wholesale rates the
manufacturers are deliberatel dlscrim.

not be further tolerated, and that the
who recognize the re

the trade. The situation has assumed

BIG MONEY IN CELERY.

COTTON GROWING IN CUBA is UNpROMIsING.
Government Expert Brings Dcouagng Report from the Is
land. Too Many There.

f. A. Schwartz, custodian of coleop-
terra in the national museum, has just
returned to Washington from a
thorough tour of Cuba, the object of
which was to inspect the ravsge of
the boil weevil in the cotton on the
island. The report he brings back is
highly discouraging to the future of
the fleecy staple in Cuba. The trou-
BILE, according to Mr.. Schwartz, does
not lie in the adoption of the soil and
climate of the island to cotton as a
staple crop, but in the remarkable prev
alence of the boil weevil and other
insect pests fatal to cotton production.
Some of these destructive insects
are of species entirely untamil-
lar to American cotton planters, and,
indeed, to American entomolOgists.
In the Washington Times Mr..
Schwartz presents an interesting re-
sumo of his Cuban observations. He
tells US that "kidney cotton" the ma

vii and kindred insect pests since time

successful cultivation of commercial
cotton has been out of the question by
reason of this unfortunate condition.
These swarming insects must be ex-
terminated before cultivated cotton

has been suggested that the kidney
cotton must be exterminated first.
This the coleoptera expert considers
impracticable, as one would we'll mag

GIVES VIGOR AND

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debil-
tated.

NEGROES FARM ON
BEST LOUISIANA Land
RENT RIVER BOTTOMS FROM LAND.
LORDS AT $40 PER ACRE.
Former Terrell Countian Writes interest
ing Letter from North Louisiana.
Best Farmers Are Georgians.

EDITOR DAWSON News: There has
been quite change in farm opera
tions in north Louisiana since my first
letter to The News, March %. The
wet weather has held up, and we have
had several days of good weather.
The ground is in good order for work,
and the farmers are putting in full
time. Corn planting is about over,
and it is coming up, and the prospects
are good for stand. Cotton planting
is going on. and if the weather is good
for few more days this work will be
finished. The low lands are still too
wet to work, though some few are
planting on Red river.
Nearly all the river bottoms are
planted in cotton. A bout all the farm
ing on the river is done by negroes,
who don't want to work or raise corn,
A white person can hardly live on the
river, and the land owners have their
homes in the cities or towns and rent
to negroes for S. to $40 an acre and
furnish them mules and supplies.
Hands on the hills are scarce and
hard TO get at any price. All that are
not on the river are on public works.
They get big wages at public work,
and can't be persuaded to work on the
farm. There are four big saw mills
in Webster parish that employ from
200 to 500 hands each, and they are
scattered all over the parish getting
timber and building tram roads. They
get timber thirty and forty miles from
the mills and haul it in cars pulled by
steam. There is one mill that hauls
timber sixty miles.
Webster parish is fine farming
country, and the farmers are learning
to make larger crops with less labor
and less expense. They are beginning
to use commercial fertilizers AMI farm
machinery. This country has been
behind the times until of late years,
but the farmers are getting out of the
old ruts and catching on to more i'm
proved ways of farming. Our lands
are richer here than they are in south
west Georgia, but we don't make as
much to the pillow as the farmers do in
Terrell county.
A farmer will come here from GeOr.
gia and double us in crops: at least
that has been the case heretofore, but
is not so much so of late years. Eight
and ten bales of cotton and two nun
dred bushels of corn, with oats, cane
and potatoes and other side crops, is a
good crop here for pillow. Some make
more and some less. In reading The
Dawson News see the farmers in Ter.
rell county are making from twelve to
fifteen bales of cotton to the mule, and
other crops in proportion.
haye travelled some in Alabama,
/ Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, but
taking Georgia in every respect it is
up with either state.
