EXPORTS FROM THE SOUTH.

1t is estimated that for the past year the South
exported s458 100000 worth of cotton and cotton
products. Timber and lumber went out to the ex-
tent of $50 900 O00 tobacco 500 900 0O0 petroleum,
s27 900 900; cotton goods, S250O00O0; provisions,
900; grain, Sis, OOOO 900; coal, $4,000 900;
and fruits, So, 100000 If S10,Oo00o0 be added for
the Souths exports of iron and steel, wood manu-
features, leather, ETC., we have grand total of
1914 100000 which is Al per cent of the total ex.
ports of the United States. These figures are elo-
quent, showing as they do the great success OF
Southern industry. There are people in the Norti
who always striving to create the false impress
sion that the Southern people idle and are
wanting in enterprise. Study of the facts will con-
vince these slanderers that the South contains q
large proportion of the busiest people Of the country
The one circumstance that Southern wealth increas-
ed nearly in the last four years is sufficient
to prove the case.

The cotton planters asked to hold their cotton
for II cents. If they follow the instructions OF
President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, there is little doubt that this price will be PAID
for the bulk of the cotton crop. The farmers should
not rush into the market with their cotton because
prices better than last season. Don't think for
moment that, because the crop is short it will not
affect the situation if violate the rule, and sell
when we get ready. The movement must have the
general cooperation of the farmers of the South.

Advertising
THERE ARE TWO WAYS

newspapers and the other
way. The best way and the way
to be assured of results is through
the columns of the above-the-
average country weekly. A dollar
spent in such way brings ten
times the results it would if spent
in advertising in daily news
paper. Why?
4 Because the daily's rates are
usually from twice to four times
that Of the weekly.
4 Because the da ly is the paper
Of a day, while the weekly is red
(by each member of the family
from the day OF it's publication
until Sunday night and then care
fully laid away for reference.
4 Because the columns Of the
daily belittle its customers, read
ers and friends, while the weekly
extols them.
4 Because the city editor is d.
stranger in the midst of his read
ers, while the country editor Is
one Of his community-he mixes
and mingles with his readers and
knows them all.
T Because readers have learned to
, discredit much that appears III the
sensational daily, while they have
the same faith in the country
weekly that they do in their best
friends.

blew her house up with dynamite. The kitchen flew over

Now you would naturally think thatthe young woman
would have cheerfuly her assailant boiled in oil
