WHAT We STAND FOR.

There are thousands of people
who do not yet understand what
the Southern Cotton Association
stands for, who created tie asso-
citation or what the association is
now undertaking to perform.
People in all lines of business,
farmers, merchants, bankers, edi-
tols of newspapers and others still
have a vague and indistinct idea
of the scope of this movement.
Many people in all walks of life
appear to think that the Southern
Cotton Association is distinctiyely
a farmers movement to be operat-
ed along the lines of the old Far
mers Alliance, and in which the
interest of other lines of busienss
is only incidental to the imme-
diate carrying out and perfection
of the resolutions introduced and
passed at the New Orleans Cotton
Convention, January 24-26, 1905.
The mind of every man who en-
tertains such opinions, which are
only partial outlines of this great
movement, should better inform
himself and begin to fully UNDER
stand that the Southern Cotton

SAVED BY A WoMAN's WIT
She Sacrificed One Thousand Dollars
to Stage Robbers, But Saved
Twenty Times as Much.

A good illustration of the quick wit
of a woman appears in the following
incident of the old coaching days of the
far west. The man of the tale does not
show off in the best of lights, and did
not deserve his reward, says Youths
Companion. The coach was on its way
over a lonely road, and carried among
its passengers lady going to join ner
husband and a man travelling by him

The lady consented and hid the roll of
bills. Toward evening the shout of
Throw up your hands," brought the
coach to standstill, and four men,
masked and on horseback, demanded,
at the point of the pistol, that all money
should be Immediately given up. The
lone traveller passed over all his remain
ing cash, consisting of few dollars,
and was congratulating himself on his
escape, when, to his horror, he heard
the lady say:

must give them up, and without further
hesitation she handed over the precious
pile of greenbacks.
The robbers rode OF in high good hui

traveller let loose his wrath. He abused
the lady in no measured terms, and
hardly stopped short Of calling her a
coward. The accused said little, blu.

seven electricians. Fourteen rise at
four O'Clock in the morning to build

Mr.. Dodson, one Of the successful

lads of the present. He worked at the

he found different means Of providing
