For Holding Cotton.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 3l.-the con-
tinued unwarranted depression in the
price of spot cotton should appeal
to every business interest in the
South. At present prices farmers
should and must stand firm and re-
fuse to market a single bale which
can be held ON the farm or financed
through the banks, / earnestly ask
for the active cooperation of all the
merchants, bankers, guano dealers
and cotton factors throughout the
South to assist the producers to the
full extent of their power until the
market reacts to higher figures
This cooperation and assistance
can be best subserved at this time
by granting to every farmer possible
an extension OF their accounts and
notes to January /. 1905. II this is
done promptly, an absolute tie-up OF
the cotton market can be made for
the next two or three months, and
the spinners will be compelled to
have large quantities of spot cotton
before the end of that time. Prices
must advance in the near future. The
time for general cooperation all
along the line is at hand. and ! APP
peal TO every interest with which the
producers deal to do jEetr full part
in the present fight Grant all ex-
tensions possible that can be secured
BY cotton as collateral and do not
press the producers who owe money
TO a settlement at present low prices
Tie up the spots and let the whole
world understand that the South is

several acres in different parts of

NAB JAPANESE BIRD sLAYgRs.

United States Authorities Arrest
Seventy-Seven Pluma&e Hunters
The United States revenue cutter
Thets put in at Honolulu a while ago
with seventy-seven prisoners, all Jap
anese plumage hunters, who had been
captured on an American island while
engaged in their illegal operations,
says a writer in Field and Stream.
These men were sent out as hunters by
Tokyo firm and their destination
was Liniasky Island, known in many
regions as a wonderful nesting place
for plumage birds.
This island Is in mid Pacific not far
from Midway Island. The fact that
1t belongs to the United States did not
seem to deter these oriental plumage
hunters. They had, besides the hunt.

sands OF skins. Late in the same
month an ocean gale destroyed their
schooner, drowned some of the men
and left the rest marooned upon the
island.
A second Japanese vessel brought
about forty more hunters, who were
left to join the others, the ship leaving
word that she would presently return.
She did not return. Meantime the war
with Russia broke out, Of which the
plumage hunters heard nothing. In
any case they were very hungry when
finally discovered by the United States
revenue steamer, rescued and impris-
oned.
Captain Hamlet Of the Thetis says
they had wrought an appalling de-
struction. There were 1886 cases of
plumage collected, and in all likelihood
more than 100000 plumage birds had
been destroyed. It would seem that
the records Of the orient rival those OF
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and
other parts Of the United States,
where the very acme of thoughtless
destruction would seem to have been
reached.

PIG-FARAalNG FOR WOMEN.

Six years ago a daughter of DR.. W
Seward Webb began an experiment in
stock-breeding ON Shelburne Farms,
Doctor Webbs countryseat on Lake
Champlain. She was sure she had
some business ability, and could make
money If her father would give her a
chance, says writer In Country Life
In America,
Ih1s her father agreed to do, and
the young girl invested twenty dollars
or her own money in a brood sow and
with her fathers permission made ar
engagements with the shepherd to care
Tor the SOW and little pigs. As there
was an abundance Of skim milk. this
was given to her without cost b,t all
the grain was charged for at marlo+
prices. From this single investment
she cleared ninety dollars the frst
year, two hundred dollars the second
and three hundred dollars the third
BY this time the stock had 40 in
creased in number as to outgrow ito
quarters, and was proving so profitable
that Doctor Webb thought It adviso-
bic to buy her out. So at the end of
the fourth year he took over the stock
at market prices, and gave her a check
for seven hundred dollars, which rem
resented the years profits,
From this start the present ntggarv
on shelburne Farms has been deyei-
-oped. 1t is the most profitable depart
ment OF the place. Two hundred or
more pigs are sold yearly, averaging
from two hundred and fifty to three
hundred pounds in weight, and bring

the superior conditions under which

A happy family there consisted of a
lady, n cat, kitten and a Yorkshire
terrier. All four were on excellent
terms until the terrier took umbraee
at attentions which its mistress be-
slowed upon the kitten.
The terrier straightway began 70

Its task to Its satisfaction In three
days.
Then the kitten disappeared. A
search was made, and as the terrier
was seen putting down the earth over
the hole which it had refllled, the soil
was removed, and the kitten was
found to have been buried alive,
The dog was punished, but it took

The city of Chufuhsien. the Mecca

Here Confucius was born, and here
his sacred bones lie buried. The tomb
which is located in one of the largest
cemeteries in the province, three miles
out from the city above mentioned Is
one OF the most imposing in the whole
empire.
The grave itself Is surmounted by an
earth mound II feet in height the

Before the mound Is a tablet feet

are inscribed the names and deeds of

The avenue which leads up to the
philosophers tomb is even more inter

rows of figures Of huge animals cut IN
