COTTON WAR IN AIR
SOUTHERN PLANTERS AGAINST
FOREIGN MANUFAcTURERs.

Mobile. Ala. dispatch last night says:
According to officials OF the Southern Cot
ton Growers Association. the cotton plant
ers Of the south are preparing for a bitter
war with the manufacturers, especially the
in Liverpool recently and set price on
southern cotton that they agreed to stand
by. These foreign thugs" said Vice Presi-
dent Bailey. In an interview. "have invaded
our country for the last forty years or more
and robbed us Of what is and was Justly
our own. That they have combined now
to keep down the price Of cotton is reflected
in the daily cotton letters from England; but
that will not deter US In the step we have
decided upon. The time has come when the
southern bankers and merchants must line
up and fight the battle with the southern
cotton planters.
while the bankers and merchants will
be vastly benefited by 11-cent cotton, the
minimum at which the staple will be sold,
of course 1t Is the small farmer who will
eventually reap the great benefit there
FROM We southerners may be easily coaxed
into doing some things, but we can't be
driven an inch, and these English spinners
may as we'll find out now as at any other
time.
THE spinners claim that they will not
pay our prices. We say they shall. or do
without our cotton. The American mar
kets are open to us. and willingly pay the
price that the conditions compel, and pres
ent conditions warrant the minimum of IL
cents. although 15-cent cotton Is the legit-
mate outcome Of the situation. The crop
has been conservatively estimated at about
70 per cent Of q full crop, but the reports
that we are daily receiving tend to show
that the crop will be but little better than
60 per cent, II that much"

HEALTHY CHILDREN.

Without goCd health life is not
worth living. Sickly, peevish chill
dren are source of endless trouble
and anxiety to their parents, yet the
chilGren's condition is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
lessness, or both.
TO make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition it is nee
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty Of exer-
else and fresh air. Meat is very bad
for children. It should be avoided
and food rich in phosphates, such as
Pillsbury's Vitos, should be given in
its place.
This food is truly the meat of the
wheat" It is made by the worlds
greatest millers and it is free from
artificial coloring or adulteration. 1t
is not especially a child's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes a wholesome,
substantial breakfast or an appetiz-
ing dessert and can be prepared in
one hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack
age-enough to make twelve pounds
of strength-building food 15c. Ask
your grocer about it to-day.

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton. KY, Oct. 30th.-(Spec
1t has long been claimed that Dia-
betes is incurable. but Mr.. L. J..
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
tes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In a statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
81 was troubled with my Kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part Of the state. They claimed
I had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started TO
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful It is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that I am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Di-
abetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

TaIIsman Of tIohenzollerns.

The house of Hohenzollern pos
sesses a family tallsman in the shape
of an old-fashioned ring in which is
mounted a plain black stone, this
quaint jewel dating from the time of
the Elector John Cicero. A princess
of the family had just given birth to
a son when a large toad appeared on
her bed and dropped the stone out of
its mouth, no doubt as a christening
gift to the newborn baby. IL was first
set in a ring by the father of Fred
erick the Great, who left it, with a
letter relating to its history, to his
successor. Each head of the Hohen-
zollerns has become it's owner in turn
and the present emperor frequently
wears it on state occasions. Its vir-
tues as a talisman are held in great
respect and one finds a constant men
tion of this stone in the archives of
Berlin.

The Dark Hour,

When the blight of the night presses
down on my head and the slow
Coming on of the dawn In the town finds
the heart of me low.
When the gray of the day is the shade
of the gray of shroud-
One that drapes phantom shapes as If
made of the mist of a cloud
Then thought goes for naught and the
mind cannot frame a deceit.
For a balm that viii calm it or blind IL
with dreams that are sweet;
Then the soul in its dole stands all
stark. unprotected and bare,
And the hour OF the power of the dark
ness descends on 1t there!
Then the weight of a fate that Is strong
er than life, or than death,
Seems to rest on the breast that no long
er holds pulses or breath.
But, 10! As the woe of the spirit IL
deepest. "A word
OF release and of peace-can you hear
It? The song of bird.
The dawning of morning Is here-the re-
prieve OF the day
And the sunshine has won over fear and
has driven him away.
But. oh! II Is slow-and / wonder some
times. what IL fate
Should forget or should let the gods
blunder-and dawn come too late ;

AFRIcA's "sPIRAL" RAILROAD.
Many Unusual Difficulties Had to be
Surmounted.

In the construction of the Amabele.
Butterworth railway, in Cape Colony,
unusual difficulties had to be sur
mounted, according to the Pail Mall
Gazette, and the result is, from an
engineering point Of view, one of the
most remarkable railways in exist
ence. After passing through the Kei
Hills the line wir Is round another
hill, and then, at lower level, goes
under its own track. This portion of
the railway is known as the spiral. ("
At another point the line travels along
che bank of the Mangulu river for
Two miles, and then doubles back for
a mile and a half. so that, after COW
ering three and half miles, the train
is really only half mile TO the good.
This section is called the "zigzag," ("
and, with the spiral, is unique in
South Africa. All along the Kei
heights the route is through cuttings
or on embankments. Some idea of
its extraordinary character may be
formed from the statement tat in
eighteen miles the line falls, or rises,
to the extent of / 500 feet.

When Nelson Shivered.

The English papers tell new
story of Nelson. one which is not par.
ticularly appropriate to these days of
friendliness between England and
France. Nelson was talking one day
with Mrs. Swinburne, of Hamsterly,
and the conversation turned upon
Frenchmen. 81 never see a French
man, Mrs. Swinburne." said Nelson,
without shivering from head to
foot" AS the relator of the anecdote
says, any one who has seen a dog
quivering when restrained from fall
ing upon a familiar enemy will ap-
preciate the feeling that made Nelson
shiver. Fighting was not a mere pro.
fession with Nelson. He felt as he
fought

When physician tells woman, suf
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary IL, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart. AS one woman expressed
IL, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death ltnell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operationsl
II rs quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than Is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia Il. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up TO the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief this medicine is cereain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
