"A Ring of Rhymes and Short
Stories is the title OF a little col
lection of poems and short stories
that has appeared at intervals
from the pen of Miss Charlie H.
Garner, of Columbus, Miss. The
book is prefaced by an appropri-
ate introduction from Gen. Step
hen D. Lee, whose criticism, per-
haps, is better than any that might
take its place. "Her versatility
in her moods Of sunshine and
shadows, accompanied with her
beautiful picturing of nature, as
emblematic of our early climate
and soils, is very attractive and
sweet. There is not an effusion,
that does not breathe purity, re-
finement and faith in God. While
the little poems and stories are
short, they all bring out some
thing that pleases and elevates,
and the originality of the measure
of some of her verses is quite
noteworthy the rythm of the lines
fitting the thought impulse
Miss Garner will be remembered
by many here at the University
where, some years ago, she took
special work with Miss Isom il
elocution, and distinguished her
self not only in literature and clio
cution, but especially in tn
TEShakespearean productions give
at the time by Miss Isom. Sine
then she has won herself a nam

marked success, lectured on tenn
perance throughout the South

Completion of the Canal.

Many plans of business men and manufacturers will be based on the completion of the Panama canal, and very naturally they will seek to ascer- tain the time of it's. completion. All things conspire to the quickest possi- ble ending of the task. The popular will calls for speedy work, as well as the demands of business. The na- tional pride is aroused by the gigantic task, and the commission will be spurred to quick action-that is to say to action as quick as economy and sound construction will admit of.
 The term of construction is usually put at eight or ten years, but as soon as the commission completes it's plans, and places contracts, this term will be shortened It will be shortened by the work and experience of the French engineers, who were confessedly com- potent. De Lesseps planned to dig a sea-level canal in eight years, and America can assuredly dig lock canal that is one-ffth dug already in less than eight years. The French plans were not faulty; it was the lack of executive talent and French ten dencies to corruption that brought dis aster to the De Lesseps company. Money and energy were wasted
 The American work will be super vised by commission that commands the confidence of the people. There is an abundance of capital at hand, and there will be, too, better machinery and appliances ready for use than De Lesseps could command. All things favor quick work after the plans of the commission are perfected
 The commission should be ready to ] let contracts covering the entire work in the course of a year, and the canal should be completed in the course of five years thereafter. It should and probably will be completed in 1910. There is no reason why work in the Culebra cut should not be pushed to the utmost at once, and once the back bone of the isthmus is cut through the rest of the task will follow speedily. The first ship should pass through the canal in the first decade of the won. derful twentieth century, and Senator Morgan should be the passenger of honor on that snip.

New Orleans and to San Francisco.
 The winter wheat of California Is
 nearly ready for shipment, and the
 picking season is approaching in
 Texas. This leads to transfers of cur

 money will be first applied to the nov ing of crops, to be followed by drafts upon New York deposits. The entire movement is known and expected. It is as regular as the rains that fall upon the just and unjust. The coun- try is full of money, and no trouble will be experienced in obtaining all the money that credit and collateral will can for in connection with the crop movement. Gold flows out at times to settle international balances, and currency LOWS west and south and back again, keeping step with the great crops of cotton, wheat and corn grown in the agricultural states. The tidal movements of money are well defined, and they find all hands equip ped and ready.

Sninninu Fine Yarns.

The term fine yarns" Is differently understood in different sections and countries. In the south 40's to sos are considered fine yarns. In New England mills eos to 150's are in that classification while English and con tinental mills spin up to 250's. Counts of 350's are spun with commercial sue cess, and coos have been spun, but, said a speaker before the American Cotton Manufacturers association, such a thread is too tender to be handled with any degree of success for commercial or industrial purposes.
 The spinning in the south consists chiefly of counts below 40s, and as we spin but twenty per cent of the crop. it may be best to let the fine spinning go to other localities. If we can spin the coarse yarns, we will be doing quite well, leaving New Eng land wide held Tn the SplnnlnS or me yarns. The two sections should pull together, until we are able to spin a good share of the American crop. We make 80 per cent of the commercial crop, but we do not spin over 40 per cent of, the crop of the world. All our crop should be spun in this coun- try. and if New England and the south
 will pull together this great task can be accomplished. It would not en- danger our position as growers of the raw material a particle. Europe woul1
 soon take our yarns instead of raw
 cotton. She would put looms in the
 places formerly occupied by spindles..

USE PETROLEUM
On the Scalp and No Man Need Be
 Without Thick Hair.

From the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat
 Do you know that petroleum is one of the best tonics for the hair?" Charles A. Waters, who knows something about the treatment of the scalp, asked me. Well, sir, ther's hardly anything on the market that can surpass it as an invigorator in this respect. I don't mean, of course, the crude but the refined, the thrice refined, petroleum, which has about the same con sistency as water. My hair was falling out a few years ago, and was recommended to try petroleum for it. did. See my hair now. It's as thick and healthy as one could desire. and petroleum used as a tonic is alone responsible for this condi- tion. Every night l rubbed some of this petroleum into the scalp. taking care not to saturate the hair with it, however, and then I'd allow 1t to rest untouched for about ten min utes, after which I'd wash my head thoroughly with a soap free from alkali to remove any traces of the petroleum in the hair and thus eliminate the unpleas- sant odor that follows such an applica- tion In about two weeks my hair was noticeably invigorated. its growth was strengthened and the falling out much allayed. Within three months there was no more hair coming from my head than is usual with everybody and since then, by using petroleum shampoo at least once week. I've kept my hair in splen- did condition and the scalp Is perfectly healthy."

Moyinu the Crops.

Already New York money shops feel the crop movement The net ship ments of money from New York to the south and west in the crop-moving months was $22,362, ,10v in 1901; s27,- 9S5,50O in 1902, and $36,297, 100 in
 1903. The average is about $2S,000,- 900 year, and New York expects to send about that amount south and west this year. Cash is needed to move the crops, but it does not follow that New York will furnish it alto gether. It largely means that interior banks will draw down their balances in New York in order to move the crops. As rule surplus money is kept in New York, because it draws interest there, but in the crop-moving months 1t is returned to the interior banks, who deal 1t out to crop-movers.
 At present currency is flowing to
