FOR THE COTTON GROWER.

The Southern Farm Magazine of Baltl- more In a dcuble-leaded editorial in it's July issue says:
 For many years the vast financial in- terests in Europe and the north interested In cotton manufacturing. as well as most or the cotton speculators In New York, nave combined to beat down the price of cotton, having no interests in the wei rare or the south and no concern as to whether Southern producers became im- poverished by low pricse or not. These Dear speculators on the cotton exchang- es or New York and Europe or the bear manufacturers who could make more money out of low price than out of hign price cotton have used every power at .neif command to create the impression throughout the world that the high pri- ces or the last twelve months have been un1ustihed, claiming that they were due

About the Meetings.

Our first meeting was at Red Banks, few miles out from Holly Springs. Here we had a two days meeting, with a basket dinner each day on the ground. The good ladies of the vicinity and the town came with baskets well filled with the good things from the farps and the gardens and we had a great feast. The meetings were all conducted on practi- cally the same lines, and at all places we were honored by the attendance of the good ladies, all of whom seemed as much interested as the men. The subjects dis cussed were along practical agricultural lines-how to prepare soils, subsollng, drainage, dairying, stock growing, rota- tion of crops, diyersification, horticul- ture poultry, clovers and grasses. In fact nearly every question of farm in- terest received some attention; as some want to change from cotton to stock, and grass and stock has to go hand in hand together. Others want to go into truck farming, others into fruit growing, and some want to grow poultry; so we had to have a vast amount of information right at hand to meet all these require ments But one of the most important questions of all was the dairy question, of which I shall say more later on
 Our next meeting was at Holly Springs. where we had a whole days meeting and where we met the same enthusiasm and interest. Here the weather was threat ening and the meeting was held In the court house.

At Potts Camp.


 Our next meeting was at Potts Camp. Here we went again to a beautiful shady grove where there is one of the finest springs of water ever saw. Here again
 the good ladies came again with their
 we'll filled baskets, and we had great
 feast and two sessions. and found the same interest. Our next meeting was at
 Ripley. Here the weather again drove
 us to the court house, where we had a
 great audience in spite of the rain that fell most of the day.
 But Saturday was the great day of all
 There are several reasons why this was so. First of all the weather had cleared,
 the sun shone out brightly, the air was
 cool and refreshing and delightful place
 chosen, Blue Mountain. Miss. where Is
 located the great Baptist Female college.
 This is a fine school and most delight fully located in a healthy section of the state, in a beautiful grove where there are gushing springs of as pure water as can be found anywhere in the south. We were greatly surprised to find such a school here, and more so to learn that their enrolment for the coming session Is now $50 girls from all parts of the state and also from other states. But another thing that made this meeting great was that Professor Berry, who has cnarRe or tnlS schOOl, ana HIS dDle ds- sistants, his wife and other ladies, took hold of the matter and helped to make 1t q great success. The meeting was held in one of the large recitation rooms of the college a most convenient and comfort able place for such a great gathering. Here the ladies came out in great num- bers. Here is where we held the great audience from 10 to o'clock, and the in terest at the close was as great as it was at any time during the meeting
 These meetings gave us a grand op- portunity to learn something of the pos- abilities of this country, and what we shall say on this line applies to Ala bama as we'll as to north Mississippi. I this section as a dairy country.
 Dairying Is Profitable.
 There Is no country where the dairy
 business may be more profitabIy engaged in than in the sections mentioned. There Is no industry that appeals more strongly to the farmers, nor one in which there is
 more profit to be derived than the dairy industry will give if well managed. Some of the most essential things in success | full dairying are grass, forage crops and pure water Here in north Alabama and north Mississippi we find these conditions fully met. The water no one questions. and the matter of growing grasses and forage crops, on which dairy cows may be kept cheaply Is a matter of education and a matter that has passed the ex- neriment stage. No country in America

BOWMAN HOME IS
 DAMAGED BY FIRE
LOSS IS ABOUT Se5oo, WHICH is FULLY COVERED BY INSuR- ANcE-MR. AND MRS. BOWMAN WERE VISITING AT THE TIME.

The residence of P. G. Bowman at Twenty-ninth street and Avenue H was partially destroyed by fire which origInat- ed about 9:3O o'clock last night The loss Is something in the neighborhood of 5000, which is fully covered by insurance.
 The origin of the fire Is unknown. It was discovered after having gained con- siderable headway, and by the time the fire department could make the run from Five Points the fire was almost beyond control. It was feared at one time that the adjoining house would burn but the hremen protected 1t.
 The house was valued a about s7000, and was covered by about $45O0 insurance. The value of the contents of the house was about 5000. and the insurance was about $500. The percentage of loss will be about
 9 per cent as some of the furniture was not seriously damaged, and the house was not totally destroyed.
 MT. and Mrs. Bowman were visiting friends In the city and the first they knew of the fire was when some one telephoned them that the house had burned down. h.. Bowman has no idea how the fire originated.
 About midnight small blaze was dis covered on the top of the house by the policeman on watch. and the fire depart ment was called out again. The flames were easily extlnguished sa

pr. Dedman Is All Riqht.

Huntsville, August (Special.)- Dr. J. E. .Jedman, vice president of the Birmingham Motor club, who was re- ported lost in the mountains south of Decatur, rolled into Huntsville in a terrific rain storm Thursday night. He is accompanied by his wife and child, and they had a rough trip in their automobile. A swollen creek at Lay ton held them back day and the bot -tomless roads caused further delay.
 Dr. Dedman requested The Age-Her. aid correspondent to deny that he was lost or broken down and to assure his friends in Birmingham that he will be with them Sunday morning at the latest. He made the run from Decatur to Huntsville, twenty-five miles, in 2:10 and climbed Monte Sano in his auto yesterday afternoon. He left to- day by way of Triana, Summerville and Blountsville, a road not yet taken by any Birmingham automobilist.

Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Rail. road Company-"The New Way"

The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any ether railroad in the south; the timber is nraetically inexhaustible. consisting of ,be highest grades of long yellow leaf nine, short leaf pine and variety of bardwoods. The line also traverses one of inc finest farming and agricultural sec lions to be found in the south. Corres- nondence is solicited from those contem- plating the location of any kind of man. nfacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for superior field for the nurpose of tilling the soil. In addition to the merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple. we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- yantages which obtain in favor of fruit and vegetable raising. splendid transpor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.

have in this country. Among other duties they answer bells and that cuts off quite an item of expense in the pay of bell boys.
 NO, don't think the picturesque country hotels in England are a thing that would flourish in this country. They are very picturesque, though, in England 50 picturesque that we overlook their dirtiness. do not say that good country hotels in the country, say a hundred miles around New York. would not pay. 1 think they would. People who would patronize them are educated up to know ing the advantage of something simple and good in food over something elaborate and bad. There are good country hotels here even now. I found one once. It made so deep an impression on me that I have never forgotten 1t.
 But even in England, with their light running expenses country hotels do not make much money. Most of those who run them get a bare living out of them. And here in this country the season when an expensively and well-kept coun- try hotel would pay, is short You have got to take the American winter Into account. During the winter, when the expenses and rent keep on going and the automobile stops coming.
 ITO change the subject, they are woe fully poor over in England just now. No- body seems to have any money, and bus mess of all kinds seems to be at a dead standstill. Ordinarily at the Carlton, tho Royal, or any of the swell restaurants in London, you would have to give notice two or three days ahead if you wanted a table any evening in the month of June. Yet, when I was there these restaurants were not more than third full. And the shopkeepers are all growling-say they never knew 1t so hard to collect money. They don't do business on a cash basis there. Everybody runs a bill that can get credit. and puts off paying until he can't put 1t off any longer.
 As to golf-and that really Is the seri- ous business that took me to England-l I think the great masses of the people, were glad when Travis, with whom I went over and came back. won the champion+ ship. They have had sort of aristocratic golf clique over there that kepts things in their own hands. It pleased the out siders to see Travis walk over those fel- lows. Yet, 1t is true some of them did, apparently, attempt to derive little con solation from the fact that Travis was born in Australia. But, as matter of fact, very few of us Americans can trace our ancestry back to the North American Indian.''

Women as Golfers.

From the London Truth.
 Golf has become so widely popular as a pastime for women that the book Miss May Hezlet, the open ladies champion of 1899 and 1902. has written fills a dis tinct gap in the literature of the links. The title is Ladies Golf" The first au- thentio reference to women in connection with the game that Miss ~Hezlet has been able to discover Is minute of the Royal Musselburgh club informing ''the fish ladies' of the neighborhood that prizes consisting of "a handsome new creel and shawl and two of the best Barcelona silk handkerchiefs" would be awarded to female golfers at a meeting on January l. 1911. It was not till 1867 that a ladies' club was established at St. Andrews. Even then and for long aftorward they con tented themselves for the most part with putting competitions, and it Is practically within the last ten years that the long game has come Into general favor as 8 suitable one for the fair sex.
