The steady increase in the price Of
raw cotton during the las. two years
is due primarily to the feet that the
demand has been outrunning the sup
ply, and the shortage Of labor in the
South. To increase the area Of cult
vation more laborers and small grow.
ers are needed and the great need Of
the South is larger share of the cur
rent Of immigration now flowing 80
freely to our shores. Since very
large proportion of this immigration
is from southern Europe there seems
to be no reason why share of it can
not be diverted to our Southern States.
Col. E. j. Watson, the State Immi.
grafton Commissioner, is doing his
best to bring some of these immigrants
to South Carolina and his efforts are
going to meet with success.

A meeting of representative cotton
mill officials from North Caroline,
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
was held in Greenyille few days
ago. Seventy.6ve mills, with more
than two million spindles, were rep
resented, and the meeting was pre-.
sided over by Col. Jas. L. Orr. After
considerable deliberation it was de.
cided to curtail production to basis
of Is per cent during the months of
August and September. Because Of
the unsettled condition Of the mar-
ket and the poor demand for finished
goods the gentlemen believed that
this step was imperative and they
acted accordingly: The mills not rep
resented at the meeting were urged to
agree to the curtailment. While, the
production will be reduced 25 per
cent. for sixty days, this will be ao.

demand that Booker Washington shall
be the Republican candidate for Vice
President IN 1908. he calls attention
to the scene in the Republican Con-
venti0n, when beautiful white girl
was placed upon the stage and by her

of the equality of the races. He then
points out that the Democratic Con-
ventlOn was white mans convention.

Talk like that will do more to make

Issues of this campaign than anything
are many doubtful States in the North
that will give to the Democrats suffi-
cient Republican votes upon the negro
question alone to send them into the
Democratic column. The chances are
therefore that the Democrats will
force this issue whenever they can.
OF course. it goes without saying
dency, they will also win the House.
because no President was ever elected
who did not carry the House with him.
Specifically the Democrats are count
ing upon gains in the next House in
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
ONO, west Virginia, Virginia, Mary
land, pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
possibly Connecticut and Rhode Is-
land. In the West, they will probably
elect their Congressman or majority
OF them in C0lorado-also their Rep
resentatives in Montana and Idaho
possibly Wyoming and possibly make
gains in California. There is q posi-
bility Of the House going Democratic
with Republican victory for Presi-
dent. But it is not probable, as all pre-
cedent is against it. The Republicans
also admit that the chances of Judge
Parkere election are growing greater
every day. There is really no doubt
Of Judge Parker's election, if the
Democrats of this country, no believe
in Democratic principles instead of
trust domination and the reign of an
aristocracy, will stand shoulder to
shoulder for the Democratic ticket.
This, the leaders Of the party believe
will happen and they are far more
encouraged thanI have seen them eince

There is a widespread demand in
this country for Government aid in
&he movement to improve the public
roads, and it would not surprise the
close observer to see Congress meet
the popular elamor and give !. the
glad hand, with perhaps reasonable
appropriation besides. There is no
reason why the Government should
withhold aid from the good roads
movement. So long as the public
money lie spent on rivers, harbore,
canals and other avenues Of COM
merce, why should it not be likewise
spent on the public roads, or at least
the roads designated and used 90 postal

WING SHOTS AT SEA.
Novel Sport of Shooting Flying Fish
Need for n Retriever That
Can Swim.

One morning the yacht Linda steamed
out of the Bay of Avalon with two or
three friends and myself sitting on the
upper deck, about eight feet from the
water, each armed with shotgun, says
writer in Outing. The Linda was
headed up the coast and was presently
running at fair speed, and in a short
time into the flying fishes, which rose at
or near the bow and went skimming
away in graceful lines. The first flyer
went to the left, and was cleverly
dropped by one of my companions, who
killed another with his left barrel. The
third fish fell to me. Itrose 20 feet ahead
with vigorous trembling of the body,
produced by the screw-like motion, and
dashed away three feet above the sur
face. AS it swerved to the right fired,
dropping 1t; as 1t fell the splash startled
another fish from the water, which came
straight toward the boat, rising slightly
on the stiff wind. l did not fire, as the
fish was too near, and it passed over the
boat into the preserves of my compan-
ion, who dropped it when so feet away.
There was something essentially novel
in this sport. The fish appeared as
though by magic, shooting out of the
water with little or no splash, often ap-
parently sailing along foot above the
surface, which 1t so resembled that It
was as difficult to drop'them as 1t would
be the woodcock darting over cover that
1t perfectly resembled. There was one
essential lacking in this novel sport-a
retriever. Many Of the fish sank before
the small boat could be cast off to secure

Monsieur Blouet, or Max O'Rell, as
be was known to the reading public,
mad graceful tact. He could and did
say sharp things, but the objects of his
satire were never offended.
He was once at luncheon in Mon.
treal, when there sat at the table an
Englishman, Scot, an Irishman and a
French Canadian. A mischievpus guest
present, noting that combination,
asked him for an honest opinion of
the different races represented. Not
for a moment was he embarrassed by
the ticklish situation.
"The Scotchman-" he said, and he
clenched his right hand tightly, and
pretended in vain to force it open with
his left.
"The Englishman-" and he went
through the same performance, at the
end opening the hand after an appar-
ent struggle.
"The Irishman-" Here he held his
hand wide open, with the palm upward.
1.-The Frenchman-" He made mo-
ton with both hands. as if he were
emptying them on the table.
Everybody understood, everybody
laughed, and nobody was hurt.-De-

"Why, just as soon as you begin to

begin to recollect things about you"
"I hadn't thought about that" re-
marked the great man.
"That will hurt you lot" the
friend persisted, land that isn't tho
worst of it, either. There will be a
war of 'rccollections' that will weary
the public and the public will hold you
responsible fer it. That will hurt you

SPIRITS OF THE DROWNED.
How the Chinese Appease the Names
of the Departed-CustOm of
TaOist Religion.

Shanghai residents seeking cool
breezes on the river recently could not
fail to notice the number of Chinese
boats flying gayly colored lanterns and
scattering burning paper on the water.
Not only paper, but wonderfully con-
structed oiled paper lamps of various
colors, which were dropped from the
boats to float on the water. sometimes
trails of ~ or 13 red. blue and green
lamps bobbing up and down on the
muddy waters of the Wrangpoo, says
the Shanghai Mercury.
Inquiry of even the meanest natives
elected the reply that joss pidgin was
being done to keep the drowned men
quiet. This is in reality a very ancient
custom developed under the Taoist re-
ligion, which teaches that the spirits
of the drowned fit miserably over and
under the water until such time as
cash is paid to the gods to release them
from their purgatory. Failing this re-
lease, the drowned spirit lays in wait
to catch boatmen sitting by the waters
edge at dark and pull them into the
water to take their places, when they
themselves escape.
Hence, clinging to the old supersti-
tion, everywhere for the past Is days
of the seventh moon the Chinese as
semble in bands and go down the
rivers in their boats, beating gongs
and burning paper money. Products
of modern life are curiously blended
with the old ideas. as we see every
where in China. and in this festival
steam launches are often to be seen
towing string of boats with colored
lanterns waving to and fro. One pro-
cession of boats carrying over 100 Ian
terms and scattering others in their
wake was preceded by the music OF a
cornet. a strange anomaly indeed.

Took Away His Appetite.

Booker 7. Washington tells story
of travel in the south when he, with
a friend, was forced to stop over night
in a little shanty belonging to a negro
woman. She welcomed the guests cor
daily and soon asked them to sit
down to supper. She asked his friend
If he would have wet or dry sweeten-
ing in his coffee, and as the friend did
not know what either meant, he said
he'd take wet sweetening." The old
woman dipped her finger into the mo-
lasses jug and then allowed it to run
off her finger into the cup. This per-
formance did not at all please Mr..
Washington, and he said he'd take
"dry sweetening" The old lady brought
an almost empty sugar bowl from the
cupboard, took out one lump of sugar,
bit it in two, and dropped one-half
into Mr.. Washington's cup. Mr.. Wash
ington said it smelled like delicious
coffee, but somehow he did not seem
TO have much appetite for it.-N. Y.

THE CAUSE or COLDS.


The invariable cause Of colds come6
from within. not without. No ono
takes cold when In vigorous state Of
health. with pure blood coursfng
through the body, and there is no good
reason why anyone In ordinary health
should have cold. 1t may come from
insufficient exercise, breathing OF foul
air, want OF wholesome food, excess Of
food, lack Of bathing, ETC., but always
from some violation Of the plain laws
Of health, says Science Of Health.
There can be no more prolific cause
OF colds than highly seasoned foods,
as well as frequent eating. These give
no time for the digestive organs to
rest, and incite an increased flow Of
the digestive secretions. Thus larger
quantities of nOurishment are absorbed
than can be properly utilized, and the
result Is an obstruction, commonly
called "cold," which is simply an
effort"of the system to expel the use-
less material. Properly speaking 1t Is
self-poisoning, due to an incapability
of the organism to regulate and COM
pensate for the disturbance.
A deficient supply of pure air to the
lungs is not only strong predisposing
cause of colds, but a prolific source Of
much graver conditions. Pure air and
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation of nutri-
ment, for without them there can be
no vigorous health. The oxygen of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
as well as the nutriment that is built
up in the system The safest and best
way to avoid colds is to sleep in a room
with the windows wide open, and to re-
main out of doors every day, no matter
what may be the weather, for at least
two hours, preferably with some kind
Of exercise, II no more than walking.
One should not sit down to rest while
the feet are wet or the clothing damp.
A person may 60 with the clothing wet
through to the skin all day, If he but
keeps moving. Exercise keeps up the
circulation and prevents taking cold.
The physiologic care of colds is the
prevention of their occurrence. The
person who does not carry around an
oversupply of alimentation in his sys-
TEN, and furthermore secures purified
circulation by strict, sanitary cleanli-
ness, thus placing himself in aspositive
condition, is immune to colds A starv-
ing man cannot take cold
A careful diet would exclude the use
of all narcotics and all food that is not
thoroughly appropriated. An overfed
person is worse off than one who Is
underfed, because the overfed body Is
taxed to disposed of what cannot be
appropriated, and when not properly
disposed Of remains only to be an ele-
ment of danger.

What Was Lacking.

In the smoking compartment Of the
Montreal express the other day two
British tourists were talking with a
New York travelling man about their
impressions of Canada, from which
country they were returning evidently
after a long journey over it. Yes
one of them was saying, Canada is a
delightful place. The country is Won
derful, the people are charming and
hospitable to a degree, the clubs are
ripping, and the Niagara Falls are all
my fancy painted them to be. And
when / get home l mean to tell every
cne l know that they must really come

ca.tIr .spite, Tower.

Every one Is familiar with various
spite fences or houses. but it is safe to
say that quite the most costly and
elaborate enterprise Of this kind in the
world is the famous Wainhouse ToWer,
in Yorkshire. England Its builder,
John Edward Wainhouse. was the own
er of dye works in that valley. says
the New York Herald. Next to his
estate lay that Of an English lord. The
two quarreled, and Wainhouse built
the tower so that he could always over
look his neighbor's grounds, although
they lay very much higher than his
own The tower is nearly 300 feet high
and cost 1000 to build.
