Kingdom of Cotton.

OrIu WoTk.
 It is hardly too much to say that cot ton Is now the basis of the dominant industry of the world. Tn their pri- mary forms iron and steel products represent a value of only $1.700, ,O0O, ,000 yearly. while the estimated value of the worlds annual output of cotton goods is $2.000. 000. .000. Twice as much cotton as wool Is produced. and three fourths of the worlds cotton supply is grown in the southern section of the United States.
 Twice the worlds total gold pro- duct last year would have been required to pay Southern farmers for lint and seed; three-fourths of the capital stock of all the national banks in the coun- try would have been inadequate. Among our American export crops cotton tow CTS pre-emtnent with S350. 1000, 900 in value for the year ended June 30, 1908 (1s04 would make better ehowing) against less than $500 0000,000 for all other agricultural exports.
 In other words. take all other animal and vegetable products exported any year-wheat. corn. barley, oats. rye, flour. meal. oatmeal, fruits, vegetables liquors, tobacco, wine, cattle, hogs, horses. sheep, beef, pork, mutton. but ter, cheese. canned goods. lard, oils wool. timber, lumber. naval stores. etc. the entire contribution, except cotton furnished the outside world by every American farm. ranch and forest. from Maine to Californit, from Michigan to Texas. from Alaska to Hawaii-take all this. and with the proceeds of one years cotton and cottonseed exports and safe mortgage given on the next year the Sonthern>cotton grower could buy the whole colossal aggregation and still have surplus of more than S100.- 100000 left as pin-money and as a mar gin of safety for the mortgagee

STRANGER THAN Fk
A Remedy Which Has ReveiutS.
 the Treatment of Stomach TrouhA

I
 The remedy is not heralded as t wonderful discovery nor yet a secr% patent medicine, neither is 1t e1aimsu digestion and stomach troubles wftE which nine out of ten suffer.
 The remedy is in the form of pIeasl ant tasting lozenges, containing vegeJ table and fruit essences, pure asepti& pepsfn Government test,) golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold ,bI druggists under the name of Stuartf Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting experiments to test the digestive DOW CT of stuart's tablets show that ond grain of the active principle contained in them is sufficient to thoroughly di3 gest 5000 grains of raw meat. egg{ and other wholesome food.
 Stuarts Tablets do not act upon thS , bowels like after dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply irritatsI and infiame the intestines without hay ing any effect whatever in digestins food or curing indigestion.
 If the stomach can be rested and as ! sisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover its normal vfgor, al no organ Is so much abused and over, worked as the stomach.
 This is the secret, If there is any se-| cret of the remarkable success of Stu1 arts Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy prael tically unknown a few years ago and now the most widely known of any| treatment for stomach weakness.
 This success has been secured enI tirely upon its merits as a digestivS pure and simple because there can bs' no stomach trouble if the food is1 promptly digested.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act end tireiy on the food eaten. digesting it completely. so that 1t can be assimilat- :, ed into blood, nerve and tissue. TheI cure dyspepsia, water brash, sourl stomach. gas and bloating after meaIsj power which weak stomachs lack and unless that lack is supplied 1t is use-I less to attempt to cure by the use od
 tonfcs. pills" and cathartics which, have absolutely no digestive power.
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores and the reg ular use of one after meals, will del monstrate their merit better than any| other argument. sufri

Embarrassment of Farmers.

about by the slump in the cotton mar ket.' said a farmer, lis the fact that 1t was not anticipated by the growers of cotton and has consequently caused much embarrassment.
 Many farmers and land owners, I have no doubt, find themselves in the predicament I am in. I have pledged myself to my tenants to run them an- other year. This means that my ar- engagements with them were based on 9-cent cotton. They have counted upon my support and have made their plans accordingly.
 Now, the result of these arrange ments is that my tenants at the end of next year, unless cotton prices inn prove, will be largely in debt to me and my cotton will not enable me to clear anything.
 T fear the future is not filled with much hope for Alabama farmers"

A NEW ONE.

One of the latest methods of eetting something the matter with you. bar ring the microbes. Is what the doctors call "auto-suggesrion." The New York Mail gives this instance:
 A man in Chicago died last week of hydrophobia because his little dog was bitten by another dog which was sup- posed to have rabies. The man was entirely untouched, and the dog was who loved the dog. so constantly feared that his pet would be overtakep by the disease that he was attacked by It himself. and died as the result of "auto-suggestion."
 We have heard of many and various routes to the other world. but this rather gets away with us. We are so continually being warned of germs. microbes. baoiili and other pests that we feel like lodging wherever we see any insect smaller than a hornet Nom- ing our way. and never re1lly fee. at ease lest we may have swallowed. in- haled or otherwise absorbed microbes of some brand or other that will play havoc with our internal arrangements. It is very worrying.
 Now. after all this hiding out from the microbe family we are confronted with new source of worry. This 'auto-suggestion" busihess has a dis couraging sound. We can partially understand catching disease by the germ route, but if we are to have an attack of jim-jams because some- body's dog bites ours. we may as well give 1t up. We have no dog, 1t Is true. but some time we may possess one. and some time he may get himself bit- ten by another canine. and then we've got to go into fits instead of the dog. It's downright discouraging. that's what it Is. and we are sorry 1t was mentioned. We can never look at 8 dog now without having chills down the spine.

"A remarkably quick and good piece of work was performed by Grand Sec retary George A. Beauchamp of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Alabama ,' said a member of that order yesterday, Tn compiling and having published session was held recently in Montgom- cry.
 "The Grand Lodge met here the first week in December and an immense amount of work was done. MT. Beau champ had the proceedings transcribed and in the hands of the printer in quick time. One may judge of this achieve ment by the fact that the book of 320 sons and that the records are accur- ate and interesting.
 Every Mason in Alabama should have a copy of this book, as 1t contains much valuable matter to members of the craft"

Negroen snved NTouev.

The idea that the negroes have spent all their money and will start the new year broke is an erroneous one," said prominent Montgomery planter yes- terday.
 Tn the past the negroes, asi rule, have had no money when the New Year opened up, but this year has been an exception. The negroes have done this fall and winter what they have never done before-saved money. A good many people will doubt that statement, but 1t Is true, nevertheless. The ne- groes on my place have awakened to the importance of keeping a little money ahead. This indicates, think, that a class of negroes is growing out of the thriftlessness which has here tofore distinguished that race"

 ing that if Parker had been elected. the slump in tho cotton prices might not have occurred. Don't remember such a suggestion.

THE COTTON BURNING FAKE.


 Some days ago a considerable num- Der of Northern newspapers had sem sational stroies about the deliberate burning of thousands of bales of cot ton at Gainesville, Ga., and other points in South Georgia. These sto- ries were not carried by the Associa- ted Press. but in specials, some of them dated at Fort Gaines and others at Atlanta.
 These stories have caused consider able comment by Northern payers. On Friday. for instance. The New York Tribune devoted a half column of It's editorial space to an arraignment of the Southern cotton owners for eneag- ing in "a scheme of folly and wicked ness"
 It now transpires that the whole thin story was fake, gotten up. probably. by some enterprising Null hatton in Atlanta. The Eufauls Times of Friday has this local news item:
 It leaks out now that the cotton re- RoIleu ouTueu yesterday Tn Fort Gaines was nothing but a little old H.easly bale of dog tall" that was about to prove a drag on the market. The boys having offered 1t for sale aud finding that it would bring only $7 they rafied 1t off for $3O and then burned the little rascal in efigy. Fact is the boys were rejoicing to know they. had already sold enough cotton at 10 cents 10 do their business with and thought they would manislpate 2 . little over their stock of dog tail" to pay for their Christmas nog.
 Eufaula is only about twenty miles away from the Georgia town. and there is litt!e doubt that The Times's story is tho ruth. The fake was sus- picious from the start, especially in the eyes of Southern papers, because they know full we'll how Southern pev- pie value cotton and low unlikely they would be to engage in burning any of it, especially in such a fool-hardy scheme as the Gainesville program.

The hospitals of New York are pre-
pairing to receive the 400 or more cases
of lockjaw which are sure, according tc
precedent, to follow the celebration of
the Fourth of July in that city. Nc
number of warning words or terrible
phrases describing the horrors of teta'
nus seem to avail in lesseniDg the mum
Der of victims. Indeed, they increase
year by year. Last season there were
Alb cases of lockjaw following the cele-
bration of the Fourth in that city, and
there were only II recoveries. Tetanus
is more deadly than the bite of a mad
dog, and death from it is equally pain
full and more horrible. This germ ex-
lists everywhere. Warm weather is ia
vorable to its propagation and the
Fourth of July is its harvest. Boiling
water does not destroy it, neither does
freezing weather kill it. Tetanus germs
placed upon wood have been known to
last for ten years, and splinter from
the wood entering mans hand at the
end of that time proved fatal. Every
case of tetanus that develops within
five days is fatal. The germs thrive
and fatten upon the apparently trivial
wounds inflicted by the wad of blank
cartridge just as it does upon the dead
tissue around burn, where other germs
eat up the oxygen and thereby protect
the tetanus germ.
