S0UTH'S COTTON
!. ON PRICE ALTAR
Two Million Bales to Be Burned
in Effort to Restore the
.
-. 49,. Market.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 29.-Heroic
measures have been decided on by the
farmers and merchants of the southern
states to save the cotton market. They
will burn 100000 bales of the staple.
The destruction of the cotton has al
ready begun and it is estimated that
several thousand bales now are blazing
cotton-growing belt is expected to de-
stroy its share. Bonfres of the chief
agricultural product of Dixie will be
lighted all over the southern states.
This remarkable course was decided
on after the growers received word
of the slump in the New York market.
The falling off in New York followed
the Washington report that 100000
more bales had been ginned in the
United States in 1904 than in 1903.
The 1908 total was STAT 500 bales, and
that for this year 11,848, 1l3.
The southern men felt that there was
only one way to prevent further drop
in prices, which would mean bank
ruptcy to many. This was to relieve
the market of the oversupply caused
by the large crop. The cotton must be
destroyed. -
At Fort Gaines, Ca, over 5000. bales
were burned yesterday, and other towns
report similar bonfres. There was

ing. Farmers came into Fort Gaines
from all over the county to join with
the merchants. *#'s. J.. ~ . j.,
From the plantations and from the
local warehouses the bales were
brought to the courthouse square
There they were rolled together, filing a
large part Of the area. -.
Then the farmers and merchants and
the townspeople of Fort Gaines marched
around the heaped cotton. There was
some cheering, but most Of the men
walked away grimly, silently. 1t was a
sacrifice they were making: But they
had resolved to. stand the loss, hoping
for ultimate gain, and they did not
finch. - r., -,..
The torch was applied. The fire
started slowly in the tightly baled cot
ton, with much smoke. Gradually the
wind and the natural progress Of the
blaze carried the fire ov er all the bales
= The fire. still is burning and the ex
citenent among the dealers is increas
ing. It is estimated that cotton worth
100000 has been destroyed.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be remov-
ed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place of diseased sections Of
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises, burns and like
injuries before inflammation sets 10,
which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one.third the time
required by the old treatment. Cham

principle. 1t Is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. It also
allays the pain and soreness. Keep a
