Mans Chief Peril.

The chief peril to which man is ex-
posed is that of proclamation of what
is holy, from which he is shielded
by shutting himself up in the circle
of his senses, and restricting
himself to the shadows Of lis
reason. Within that circle, ard
in those shadows, he acquired
what he believes is wisdom, pyr-
sues what he anne ambitions
suffers what he fancies ara nains ard
sorrows, wreaks what he intends tcY
revenges, commits what he calls sinss
indulges what he mistakes for love,
ind, in a word, lives what it is given
him tt imagine is human life. Yet
in all that span of existence there 10
but a handful of hours when he truly
lives the life that is his own and ICt
a pretense, an evasion, or an error:
and those few hours appear to hiia
save at the instant OF their revela-
tion-as Authorizations. Nevertheless
they are the porticos and pillars, halls
ard gardens, sun and stars Of his
heaven; which he pragmatically and
c~omplacently puts away from him.
and turns himself to what seems to
him his heaven, but Is his he'll.
Truly, this is a pity and a lose

Age of Profitable Feeding Steer.

It requires about one-half as much
grain to produce 4 hundred pounds OF
gain on calves as on t~wo-year-oids. f.
e. Mumforl. professor Of animal hus-

The work of this college has definite

are still young. The older the animal
the more food is required to produce q
given gain. Other stations have also
investigated this question. and have ar

Two Famous Pioneer Trees.

TWO Of the most famous pioneer
trees in the west have a well nerited
place in history. These were the
Lone Jack tree and the Lone Elm.
The first is in western Missouri
and the second in eastern Kansas. A
good pioneer horseman might have
covered the distance between them
in a day. At the Lone Jack tree a
great battle was fought during the
civil war. At the Lone Elm caravans
over the Santa Fe trail halted for the

To Cotton Producers:


The cotton acreage and use Of
commercial fertilizers under cotton
for 1905 has been materially re-
duced under that of 1904. The
farmers throughout the entire cot
ton belt have made their pledges
good and production will be re-
stricted 80 that the surplus Of 1904
can go into the crop of 1906 and
both be sold at good prices to meet
the demands of consumption for
1906. But the surplus of 1904
must be held by the farmers, be-
cause if sold, il will be used next
fall to depress the price of the new
crop. Cotton is now being sold
too freely. With victory already
in our grasp it is folly to weaken
our present strong position by
throwing all the cotton that has
been 30 tensciously held, upon q
depressed market. You can't get
rid of the surplus by selling it,
but you permit your enemies to
strongly fortify their positions for
the future. The mills have sold
their goods ahead until 1907. The
crop to be grown in 1905 has al
ready been sold by both exporters
and spinners. You have not been
consulted, but you are the owners
of the cotton. Plans are maturing
to assist you in holding the cotton
You now have until fairer prices
are offered. Make the splendid
fight which you have made since
December Ord, 1904, one of the
greatest victories of modern times,
% absolutely tying up the present
spot market and holding the sur
plus of 1904 in your own posses
sion. Do not weaken under pre-
sent bear pressure, but stand
steadfast and true to yourselves,
your families and your country. |
You have reduced the cotton acre |
sge and use of gusno for 1905, |
low hold your cotton.
Yours truly,

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual

set right or it will lead to a serious de-

The PEOPLE May BE TRUSTED

In a speech in New York the
other night, District Attorney
Jerome said: "I'm a Democrat
through and through. )" But we may
be pardoned for adding, he's not
a fool Democrat. Jerome believes
in the people. He believes the
people want honest men in public
stations. He believes they will put
such men there if they know they
are honest men; men with the
courage of their convictions. The
great trouble is to arouse the peo-
pie. They are lethargic. Only
when such a man as Jerome CONF S
to the front will they sit up and
take notice. Like Jerome, we have
faith in the people when they get
a clear understanding of an issue,
but too often it is the case that
they do not understand. But they
are beginning to open their eyes
everywhere. The day of the boss
is numbered in more place than
New York. Even here in Georgia
they are awaking from political
lethargy.
