to take possession of the popular mind
is that labor troubles are more the con-
Germ of the public than of either en-
ployers of employees and that the pub
lie ought to keep them under control.
Moreover the money loss to the en-
ployers. the employed and the public
does not by any means represent the
whole cost Of many strikes Unhappily
there is often the loss Of life to be con-
sidered. Along this line Sharon
Thompson has prepared for the Outlook
statistics of violence for two and a
half years Of strikes in this country.
Mr.. Thompson has collected his data
through the cooperation of trustworthy
newspaper men in 16 cities who exam
ined the files OF leading papers for re-
ports Of all the strikes. Where the
newspaper report used the word "sev-
erar' the figure was entered: where
it said many" 3. were added. AS the
table stands, though incomplete. it
shows that deaths from violence Incl
dent to strikes were four-fifths as
many as in the two days fighting at
Ell Caney and San Juan, while the in
turies were actually One-third more nu-
merous. There were in all $50 deaths,
1.Ssl injuries and $3.50 arrests. The
largest numbers OF deaths were in Col
orado, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

questions before this court on the mo-
ton are the propriety of continuing the
receivership; and there was much more
before this court than before the court
making the appointment. That upon the
showing made here there was no claim
OF insolvency, wrong doing, misappropria
ton OF income or other acts on the part
OF the defendant which usually require the
appointment of a receiver.
THE only allegation of danger of loss
for the defendants touching its interest in
the property was from the failure to pay
interest on the mortgage bonds and con-
sequent foreclosure of the deed of trust;
failure to pay taxes and danger of sale
of the property for taxes and the removal
of the income of the defendants beyond
the jurisdiction of the State courts This
last ground does not follow here.
"These dangers can be provided against
without the continuance of the receiver;
hence this court deems it best to restore
the property to the defendants, who are
experienced in this particular line of bus
mess and not continue the receivership.
On the discharge of the receiver, if the
court deems it expedient, a sufficient
bond can be required of the defendant for
the payment of the interest and taxes il
the court should then think it necessary
records and order in this case will be
drawn accordingly

LIBERAL FERTILIZINC VS..
AN INCREASED ACREAGE
R.J.RgDDINc, in Atlanta Con stItutIon.

Allowing so cents per hundred pounds
for picking and ginning the 200 pounds oil
increase, and interest at 10 per cent per
annum for six months on the cash cast
of the fertilizer, there would be further
reduction OF the profit by the amount
OF $1.10, leaving net profit Of $3.50 on
the cost of the 200 pounds of fertilizer,
or 295 per cent profit on the investment.
Let us look at 1T in another way: Grant
ing that under average conditions an APP.
pl'cation of 200 pounds of fertilizer, cost
ing 81, would produce an increased yield
OF 200 pounds OF seed cotton, and adding
to the cost of the fertilizer 10 CENTS for
interest and 81 for picking and trimming,
what Is the cost per pound of hit? The
calculation is simple and easy. The 200
pounds of seed cotton would yield 1874
pounds of seed, worth $1.07, which should
be subtracted from the 1910 (cost of
fertilizer, interest and cost OF picking and
ginning) leaving $2.10 as the cost of the
&C pounds of lint, or about 3.1S cents
per pound.
OF course this 200 pounds increase pro-
without land, labor, superintendence,
are properly chargeable only to the por-
ton of the crop produced by the unaided
land, and not to the increase caused by
the fertilizer. The unaided soil might
produce, say 400 pounds of seed cotton
Fer acre and this 400 pounds is properly
chargcable with the entire cost of culti-
waiting the crop, including rent, labor, SUI
perintendence-every expense excepting
yl,af + how nha To hn IL
produced by the fertilizer This total of
fixed charges would amount probably to
So making the 400 pounds of seed cot
ton produced by the naked land cost 21a
certa per pound. or 6 cents per pound of
lint, allowing $213 fer the value of the
267 pounds of seed.
The idea, then, and the correct policy
Ter the farmer to pursue, is to produce
more of this fertilizer-produced cotton
and less of the naked-soil produced cot
ton, and thus reduce the acreage cost
per pound of growing his crop. In this
view of the problem of economical cotton
production it is certainly to the interest
CT the farmer to fertilize literally, yet
judiciously, rather than increase his area.
The latter calls for an increase in the
fixed charges" while the other does not.
It would probably cost a railroad COM
pany $50 to run train 100 miles, CON
vcying only one passenger; while the
same train and equipment might carry
SO passengers the same distance for not
mere than $50. The expense in the first
case would all fall on the one passenger
and would amount to fifty cents per mile:
while in the second case it would cost for
each passenger only ,$120, or 1 IL cents
per mile.

vices of such a complete set of teachers
as we have had this year.
Our school has made progress under the
principalship of Prof. A. c. Sherwood and
there are arrangements contemplated by
which we hope to secure his services, to-
gether with Prof. r. B. Nichols and 9th
ers for another year. Our catalogue with
full announcements will be out soon. We
are planning for the enlargement of our
buildings, for better equipments, and for
increased boarding facilities that we may
serve the public even better in the future
than we have in the past.
We regret very much that clrcum;
stances exist which make it necessary for
US to close at this time; nevertheless. il
gives us the needed time for making all
preparations for what we now think will
be the brightest year in the history OF the
school. The season now closing opened
with the largest number ever enrolled at
an opening, and we have every reason to
believe that the coming year, with the in
creased facilities will bring to us still
larger number.
in connectio with this we wish TO
thank our patrons who have caused this
increase from year to year, and we earn

Il present price of cotton shall con
tinue until planting, and some of it shall
drop not lower than 10 or II cents, there
will doubtless he a considerable increase
IL. the area planted. AccoVnts from
many sections indicate that the farmers
are going in for larger individual crops
thar usual. In many sections there is a
manifest scarcity of available field la
borers; but, all the same, there will be a
general increase OF area, trusting to good
luck and the payment of extra prices for
chCpping out and picking when the sea-
sens arrive for those operations. Far
mers will usually find no difficulty in
planting a largely increased area-limit-
ed in fact, only by the boundaries of
their farms. But the trouble comes in
When the crop requires to be cultivated,
ard the yield harvested next fall The
crltivatio is where the pincn comes, be-
cause it must be done at a particular
time and the crop will not wait. The
picking can be spread over four or five
months, if necessary.
One gratifying feature in the situation
is the manifest purpose of many farmers
to rely more on better preparation of the
land, more liberal fertiliZing, the use OF
better varieties of seed, etc. This rel-
ance is to be especially on applying more
fertilizers per acre. IN other words,
many are going to practice the intensive
system-just what they should have been
doing all along. Heretofore, with abund-
ant labor and an abundant area, they
could spread out and thus increase the
output. Now, it is supposed, there will
be scarcity of labor, and the number
of bales must be increased by increasing
the yield per acre.
This is as it should be, and as it should
have been all the time. 1t is what have
insisted on for many yeas. 1t is in the
direction of widening the margin between
the cost of pound of cotton and the
selling price.
The larger the number of bales of cot
ton that shall directly result from the
effect of the fertilizers, the less will be
the average cost of the whole crop.
The proposition just stated may ap-
pear paradoXical to these who erroneous
ly assume that the more money spent in
making crop, the greater will be the
cost per pound of cotton produced. But
that is not true.
One pound of "a well-balanced cotton
fertilizer may be fairly assumed to cost
cent, or $50 per ton. Any farmer who
has any experience in using Aertillzers on
cotton knows that an application of 200
pounds, or 81 worth, of such fertilizer
will rarely fail to produce an increased
yield Of 200 pounds of seed cotton. At
present prices the 200 pounds OF increase
would be worth not less than 49, This
would leave "a profit of 81 on the cost of
tue fertilizer, or more than 800 per cent.

Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfecf
ant and purifier in nature, but few realiz-
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the fuest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these Iozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use. but on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: ST ADVISE
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly. benefited
