Peace and Plenty.

Let well-illed corn cribs and smoke
houses be the great bulwarks of safety
between the farmers aud the world of
trade with whom they have to deal.
Rotate your crops, intensity your ac-
reage, fertilize literally, cultivate we'll
produce plentifully on the, ac-
reage planted and enjoy those rewards
Which should be the fulsome portion
Of those who till our Southern soils.
Studay the possibilities Of our soils
and climate and learn to appreciate
and develop The wonderful resources
at our command in the field, garden
and orchard Of Southern agriculture.
Become depositors in Your banks rath-
ar than borrowers. Get on a cash
basis as rapidly is possible and break
up the ruinous credit system which
in the past has been so fatal to cot
ton growers. As Southern farms be-
come each year more self-sustaining
under the adoption of diversified
and intensive system of culture and
proper rotation Of crops, The growers
of the South's great staple can quck-
ly regulate its marketing to meet the
legitimate demands of consumption
and maintain its price al such figures
as will always give to the producer
profit on its production. Build
warehouses with your surplus money,
ans secure adequate storage facili-
ties for the proper handlinl Of your
cotton in the markets of the country.
Let us reach out and broaden the
markets and uses for American cot
ION. Let us bring about direct trade
between the producers and the spin
ners of the world and in safeguarding
our magnificent and valuable staple
from the greed of speculative interests
enjoy the blessings of its monopoly
and through cooperation rapidly de-
velop our beloved Southland into the
richest and most prosperous section of
the entire Union. Pause. reflect and
make no fatal mistake in entering up
on the new crop year for 1906 The
sun OF peace and plenty IS shining
on The loyal and patriotic heads of
Southern planters today. Providence
has blessed our country. The clouds
may illicken and darken our horizon
in the spring if we grow needless of
our dHty. The Southern Cotton As
sociation sounds its note Of warning
and issue IFS appeal to the people.
Yours truly,

Pres. Southern Cotton Association

The government statistics of 1906

The government statistics OF s1906
shows that in that year s13,5S5, 1920
of capital was invested in the caskei
manufacturing business, and the value
OF the product was s13,952,30S.0 at
a cost of $10,O22,S29.0O for material
and wages, or a gain of only 2S per
cent over the amount expended. Now
deduct from this the 20 to rs per cent
necessary for the cost Of selling. In
cidental and sundry expenses and it
can be readily seen that the profits
will be small If any.
Since these figures were tabulated
raw material and labor have both ad
yanced considerably with no advance
in the finished product which makes
the small margin between the cost Of
production and the amount realized
for the finished goods likely to dlsap
pear altogether.

The acids Of the apple are of Singh
lar use for men Of scdentary habits,
whose liyers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving TO eliminate from
the body noXious matters which If re-
tanned would make the brain heavy
and dull or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and otter allied trou-
bles Some such experience must have
led to the custom OF taking apple
sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
other like dishes The malic acid Of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will
neutralze any excess of chalky mat
ter engendered by eating too much
meat. II is also the fact that such
fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar, diminish acidty in the stomach
rather than provoke II, Their yegc-
table sauces and Juices are converted

ical action Of the stomach juices, which

Something 10 Think About.

| Plattevilie News:
We were recently talking to "A
farmer friend of the injustice of the
large patronage being given the mail
order houses, when he turned the
table and gave us something to think
about. He said: Mr. Editor, we
country people smile when we read
your efforts in behalf of the local
merchant. Some of your merchants
are advertising well and are getting
! the business, but more of them are
not. The trouble with your people
/ is they take IA small space in your
paper and tell us, John Jones has a
complete winter line of boots and
shoes" Now, we have traded with
John for twenty years and have seen
this same announcement annually
/ for that many years. We are left to
wonder whether they are selling at
$500 or 500 The difference is this.
When we get home we fluid Shears
Sawbuck q Co, or some other city
firm, has mailed us a city paper CON
tanning their ad, which shows a cut
i, of just what we want, and the price
is in bold type-$3.l9, A few days
later we get letter from them ask
ing for IA trial order, and few days
later personal invitation to make
their place headquarters when in the
city and get acquainted. Unless a
fellow is strictly on to their curves
he is liable to think those city fell
lows are paying him considerable at
tention, and, as he has the price
right before him, an order is the re-
suit. Possibly the home merchant
furnishes better goods for the same
money, but he has not put it before
us and is not continually after our
trade as the department store men
are. Ny idea as to the remedy is
that home merchants must do better
! advertising and sell for cash. When
/ they do this they can compete with
| the foreigner and drive them from
/ the locality.

These ii was his pleasure to listen to
rs he gllded noiselessly over the lake
in the winter garden which he had
constructed on the top of the royal resi-
dence in Munich This garden was so
large that it extended along the whole
length of the west wing of the palace.
Its splcndor and its perfume made ii
seem an enchanted place. Countless
roses hung from its high arched roof.
Thousands of lights glowed softly from
under the leaves of palms, plantains
and other tropical trees From its bios
soming strawberries rose the slender
minarets and glittering cupolas Of
kiosks. Parrakeets flew from branch to
branch; waterfalls splashcd unsteady;
on the walls views of the Ilimalaya
mountains We're painted so skillfully
as to give an impression of space and
distance. The waters OF the lake We're
colored blue and scented with violets,
while its banks were covered with hya-
cinths and orchids
Here in golden boat shaped like
that in which Lohengrin appears and
propelled by mechanical swan, his
ma esty, clad in silver armor, like an
enchanted knight, spent the hours
when the world slept, listening to
stringed instruments or TO singers con
cealed behind foliage He was silent
solitary. dreaming, like the pale dwell
ers in lotus land, Here Wagner was
occasionally permitted to bear his maj
esty company, Il favor once extended
to Fraulein Schefszliy, an opera singer,
whose superb voice had won his en-
thuSastic admiration. Unwilling that
this should be limited to her voice, the
lady sent him verses limiting of her
ardent love and made him presents
that he accepted on condition that he
paid for them---an arrangement that al
lowed her TO reap considerable profit,
us she charged him three times their
cost until an eXorbitant demand for
some gift aw0ke his secretary's sus-
picion and led to the discovery ana the
dismissal of the fraulein from royal
favor.
zone evening she was invited o sit
with him and Wagner in the boat. 1t
seemed TO her that she had reached the
highest place in his favor. Therefore,
in moment of silence succeeding her
song, while the swan noiselessly drew
them through the blue tinted perfumed
water and his majesty, lost in reyerie,
stared into space, the lady leaned for
ward and gently passed her fingers
through his hair Shocked and dis
g11sted by such familiarity, he pushed
her away so roughly that the boat up
set and flung all three into the lake.
The king clambered up the bank and
strobe away without turning to see
what became of his companions, and
the prima donna, drenched and disil-
lusioned, was rescued by the composer
with the assistance Of boa thOok"
