1t is 4 popular impression among the
market men that women are the
shrewdest buyers. which may be COR
rect one. but once in awhile one of the
fair ones will do things. in her effort
to make 4 trade. that will cause any
one to wonder why. Such an instance
occurred in an uptown provision store.
Yesterday. A woman was making
some purchases. and seeing some veal
liver on the meat bench asked the pro-
prietor the price. The gentleman re-
piled that he would sell the liver for
fifteen cents. vhereupon the prospec-
tive customer decided that she did not
want the whole piece. and asked the
price per pound. On being told that
the price was ten cents. she decided TO
take two pounds. and taking her pur-
chase went home satisfied. 1t so hap
pened that the piece of liver was not
q large one and after her purchase ha d
been cut off there remained about one
pound. but the woman could not see
for A minute that she would have made
n better trade at Il cents, even if she
had had q little more than she really
needed. AS il was. the dealer sold the
liver at a good profit. and took the re-
mainder home.

RATESSUNREASONAsLE.

Railroads Up to All Kinds of Plans
 to PIunder the People.
 The way the railroads attorneys are struggling to get their clients clear of government control of unreasonable rates and the expedients they are of fering to fool the people show they are trying to earn their large salaries. The latest suggestion Is to place the railroads under bond to secure differ ences In imposed charges pending final adjustment. Some of the railroad managers are said to be willing to agree to the plan of placing in escrow money which Is Tn dispute as the re- suit of differences between rates fixed by the railroads and those named by the interstate commerce commission. The bonding proposition would be dis astrous to the small shipper and expen- siYe to the larger ones. The shipper would be subject to all the willful and unnecessary delay that the railroad attorneys so well know how to accom- pIish, and after final judgment had been rendered a civil suit on the bond would be necessary, with its further vexatious delays.
 It would not be so bad if the dis puted payment were placed in escrow, the money to be delivered to the ship per or passenger in the event of the commissions rate being upheld by the courts. But why evade the plain and easy way to protect the pubhc-that when on complaint the commission has investigated and found the railroad charge unreasonable and has decided what Is a reasonable rate the rate decided upon by the commission shall go into effect until it is set aside by the courts That would protect the people and could not inJure the rail roads, for the commission would have no object in making a rate that was not ample to pay the railroads all they would be reasonably entitled to.

THE SHORTAGEIN THE COT.
TON CROP.

Our farming friends, both in
the hills and delta, report a de-
cided decrease in the yield of
cotton this year, as compared
with the past several years and
are inclined to look on the dark
side. In many instances, this
failure amounts To a financial
calamity, as the continued rains
in the Spring made the planting
Of other crops, to take the place
of cotton, an impossibility, and
there is no surplus TO meet sup
ply bills or pay taxes. Others
will merely have less money for
spending on extra comforts or
farm improvements, and will not
materially feel the deficit. But
farmers are by no means the only
sufferers from crop failures. Eve
~ trade and calling will feel the
loss in the restriction it places
upon the free circulation of mon
ey. Farmers must let their ac-
counts run another year, sell or
mortgage their property, and
merchants will feel the long,
credit strain as well as the loss Of
cash trade. Economy, close and
rigid must be, practiced by all not
financially independent, to tide
over the winter.
However, in the practice OF
economy, we would suggest that
our friends and patrons be not
penny wise and and pound fool
lsh, and curtail their expenses
by giving up what is most neces-
sary TO progress and intelligent
citizenship. a farmer, no matter
how stringent his finances, can
not afford to economize by giving
up his home paper or agricultu-
raj journals when a trifling self
denial, or a weeks sales from the
dairy or garden would easily pay
the subscription.
Neither can Z live, up to date,
hustling merchant afford to let
his business remain unannounc-
ed by the free use of printers
ink. The professional man also.
who hopes to serve his fellow
men, will make little headway to-
ward prominence If he seeks 10

should make the threatened prev
alence of hard times an occasion
10 come before the public in the
best light, and the failure in cot
ton or any other crop will be but
a temporary hindrance to pros
perity.
With the farmer, the shortage
