Please announce that three extra

tached to the freight train leaving
Rock Hill at 10 a. m, arriving at
Tirzah at 1890 q. m. on September
7th for Tirzah picnic, and that the

correct an impression that is made
by an. editorial in THE ENQUIRER

stated as a fact that there Is on

this meeting with people who will
root for the dispensary." This deny
most emphatically. and beg to insure
the public that this picnic will be
conducted In q fair and impartial
manner. I will say that II Senator
Tillman had not been attacked in the
prohibition convention, he could not
have been induced to come to Tirzah

Violet AmmOnia--

Few people know Of the benefits to
be derived from a free use Of Violet
Ammonia in the bath tub. Ammonia
is unquestionably one of the greatest
known cleansers Of the skin. 1t Will
not only remove all the dirt, but 1t
helps to loosen and remove all the
dead cuticle and other impurities OF
the skin, leaving 1t with that healthful,
tingling sensation that adds so much
to ones pleasant feeling after bath.
Not only Is Violet Ammonia good for
the bath, 1t is also an elegant prepara-
ton for shampooing the hair and
cleaning the scalp, which Is so much
desired by people Of good taste.
Another of the many uses that Vio-
let Ammonia can be used for Is for
cleaning and polishing all kinds OF
slverware. gold jewelry, etc. For this
purpose nothing excels Violet Ammo
MIA, as It not only cleans and polishes
to perfection, but it never mars or
scratches the most delicate article.

years. and the South Is rich, with ann nle capital to finance a large part or It's cotton, while the farmers are less in debt than since the war. The pres ent price is almost as unduly low as 16 and IT cents were unduly high, and as The Manufacturers Record warned the world against such speculative prices, so 1t would warn the south to- day against undue fright. On oe- clining market people are always more disposed to sell than on advancing prices. and in this Is the danger that, frightened by the decline. farmers Will crowd their cotton to market ana cause a further break.
 Cotton is intrinsically worth more than it Is selling for. and that there will be a reaction in price Is just as inevitable as it was that 17-cent cot ton would decline. staple that does not deteriorate in quality, that Hke pls iron, Is as good twenty years hence as now when below the cost of production, as it Is today, needs only to be heid lohs enough to make certain of higher fig ures lust how soon the tide will turn no man can say, nor can anyone say that 1t will not go lower temporarily. But the Souths policy today should unouestionably be, not to burn cot ion. not to crowd it to the market, but to store 1t and hold 1t for the inevit- able swing of the pendulum, and in the meantime plant less acreage In cot ton and more in diversified crops. The situation is in this way absolutely in control of the South itself, and will have no one but the South to blame if 1t does not hold back permanently d million or more bales and then reduce its acreage about 10 per cent compared with last year. The South holds the dominating position. If 1t will only

Women Who Tell Their Age.

In Japan no woman is ashamed of her age, but she tells 1t out in the ar- engagement of her hair, so that all the world may know ic.
 Between the ages of nine and fif- teen girls wear their haE interlacej with red crepe in semicircle round the head, the forehead being left free. with a curl at each side. From fif- teen till thirty the hair Is worn high on the forehead, and gathered at the back into butterfly or fan shape, and is decorated at the back with silver cord and. perhaps, with colored balls. After the age of thirty women wear their tresseS round tortoise shell pin.
 Different styles of hairdressing, says "Woman's Life" are affected by maidens, wives, and widows, and a glance will tell whether a widow in tends to remain faithful to the memory of her late husband or whether she would like to marry again.

II MIGHT BE WORSE
SOUTH'S CONDITION NOT so UT-
 TERLY HORRIBLE.
Break in Cotton, While Most DepIOr- able, Will Not Break Dixie This Section Doing Pretty
 We'll After All.

Baltimore. Md, Dec. 31.-(Special.) J. A special dispatch from New York to The Manufacturers Record says:
 ITO judge by the wild dispatches about the South's burning cotton and the equally wild reports that would create the impression that the break in cotton Is going to cause a wreck of matter and q crush of world in the South, one would be led to imagine that the whole South Is staggered by the cotton slump. The decline is de- plorable, and, of course. means a heavy loss to many, but 1t should not be for gotten that about 6.000,o00 bales were sold at an average of probably g 1-2 cents, and that if 100000 bales more should average only cents, the total crop, including seed, would be over $500. .0OO, 900 which has been exceeded but a few times in the South's history. Moreover, the great increase in the production of grain and other diversi- fled crops last year added a gain of over 0O.000.0o0 to the value of the south's diversified agricultural pro- ducts as compared with 1902, and this years diversified crops will be equally as great, reaching in aggregate value about $1,000. .O0O, 900. or double the value of the cotton crop.
 ''But there is no reason for the South to become panicky over the cotton slt- uation. It has many time faced far worse conditions and out of apparent defeat won victory. Even 13,0O0, 900 bales should the crop prove that large, and many good authorities still doubt such a yield, are not as unduly heavy, all things considered. as were 11.250. 900 in 1898. Then the world was carrying a great surplus stock accumulated through several successive years of large production, and the South was poorer, with comparatively little sur plus money in its banks and with many of its farmers burdened with debts. Now the world has but little stock of cotton outside of this crop, the in- crease in demand has gone on for six

His Dream worth Thousands.

WIIkeSbarre IPa.1 Dlspatch.
 Andrew Sabel, twenty-one years old, employed in the Keystone flour mill at Nanticoke, some time ago in a dream saw an invention for separating foreign substances from grain just before it was ground. He told some friends and asked their assistance in making It., but they laughed at him. Preserving a clear conception of the invention in his mind, he went to work. built a model, got a patent on it last month. and has now received an offer of $1O,- 900 for the patent rights from a Mas sachusetts firm. The principle of the invention Is magnetism. It removes foreign substances from the grain and averts accidents to the grinding ma cEinery.

NEW YEAR AT Y. N. (. A.
INTERESTING SERVICES IN THE
 AFTERNOON.
l.. ID. Dix Was the Leader and Past and Future Work Was Discussed
 By the Members.

Tine season of resolutions and growth which New Year brings us was reverently marked yesterday by many members of Young Mems Chris tian Association of Montgomery. A special meeting was held yesterday afternoon on the occasion of the New Year.
 L. D. Dix conducted the meeting while several of the members rose upon their feet and spoke few words breifiy reveiewing the good deeds Of the past and looking into the future. The round of talks, not different from the scheme of "experience' services, was very interesting and inspiring.
 All the remarks of the afternoon surrounded that famous testimony of the Apostle Paul contained in his Epistle to the Phillipians, third chap ter, verses 13, IA and 15, as follows: ABut one thing I do. forgetting tine things which are behind and stretch ing forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
 The whole chapter was read repeat edly by Mir. Dix. who led in the series of talks. He interpreted the passage In PauTs letter not to mean that we are to blot from our memory all things we nave done or left undone."
 we are to learn from this to for get so many things of our past as would hinder us in pressing forward towards the goal in the future," he said:
 As an evidence that encouragement often comes from the reviewing the goodness of the past, one of the mem bers recounted the great achievements of the r. M. c. A., organizations throughout the country in the year just closed. The memberships have increased wonderfully. the committees have grown immensely, the Bible classes have made great strides. This was well to look back upon to buoy the spirits of the workers for future development.
 The services were interspersed with prayers and singing of hymns. The attendance was large, the chapel be- ing almost full.
 After the meeting was closed, the committee on arrangement for lec| lures neld a conference and made plans for receiving Captain Richmond P. Hobson who is to speak for the benefit of the Young Mems Christian Association next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the Montgomery The atre.
