 for October.
 It had to come, of course. Carried on ftfully from August to August in every year. especially when New Eng land mill operatives ask for more wages or when stray cabinet officer is prone to take unseemly action in politics, the campaign for the depres- sion of a million cotton-growers in the South and other millions directly de- pendent upon them is pushed most viz orously at the opening of each cotton season. Sometimes it assumes the phase of philanthropy, and much solici- tude for the Southern grower threat ened with a price for cotton that Will keep him from starvation is expressed: Again, the grower Is informed that IL he does not behave himself his occu- patton will be gone, with the growing of cotton in the junsles or Atrica pr the deserts of other outlands. Even this warning is couched in language Of regret that the grower should thus de- Iiberately sacrifice his heritage.
 Fortunately, cotton growers are among the Southerners who cannot DC fooled by philanthropy. Nor has the horev-msn any terrors for them. They comnara the Ss,0Oo. ooO.0o which they have received for the last six crops with the h. SOC, 100000 which they re- ceived for the preceding six crops. They are enjoying the results of re- ceiving an average of s6o0,0oo.oe0 a wear for their crop instead of an av- craze of $500. 100000 a year. With the S2OO, ,O0O, ,000 annual difference in their returns they have paid their debts. have built better homes. have bought better machinery and are eating better food. Their own section and the whole country are feeling the good effects of their prosperity. And they do nS< claim to be philanthropists.

 Should a theme be mentioned in com mon table talk which requires elucida- tion that cannot at tho moment be given, it should not be dropped out of sight and forgotten. The encyclopedia, the atlas. or the volume of foreign travel may be consulted to good pur- pose in that expansive half hour which should always follow the pleasant func- tion of the evening meal. One of the most versatile and original men of let ters America ever produced encouraged what he called the encyclopedia habit in his children. and his family almost always grouped itself around the even- ing lamp. in an earnest effort to finish some story or topic which was sure to have been broached at dinner.

A. Many Chances as Ever.

There are unquestionably many op- portunities for success now, the same as there have been since the creation of the world, but now, as ever, they must be searched for. Every one en- counters obstacles, but 1t should be borne in mind that failures are in tended to serve as stepping stones to success.
