GETTING AWAY FROM
THE COUNTER.

The quickest way to get away from
the counter is to work hard, be polite
and obliging at the counter. The
trouble with people who complain that
they cannot get above the positions
they are in is that they can not see
that the step to the thing above them
is in the thing they are doing, in their
manner of doing it, that the opportun-
ity for advancement is in the prompt
ness, the thoroughness, efficiency they
shew in the positions they now occu-
py.
Of two clerks working side by side
i'll a store, one knows that the best
part Of his salary is not found in his
pay envelope, but in the opportunity
tC learn the business. to extract from
it the secrets which his employer
may have paid fortune for, besides
putting his life into it. He is all
eyes. all ears. all the time thinking
of better methods, improved ways of
doing things, and he finally becomes
proprietor himself The other sees
nothing in his work but drudgery and
q perpetual clerkship
If you have a hundred acres OF land
and only four people to support, as
one correspondent states that he has,
ii you have enough brain, ambition,
determination, and grit, you can not
only support the people depending up
on you. but you can also give yourself
good education-for you can buy all
the books you need-and if you are a
good manager, if you have system,
you can have all the leisure you re-
qujre for study.
If you are made of the stuff that
wins. nobody can keep you back, for
! it you do not find your chance where
you are, you will find it somewhere
else. But remember that your achieve
ment can not rise higher than your
| resolution. So long as you think you
are so tied down that you can not
move. you will ever get up or get
on.
The man who acknowledges that
he is perpetual clerk" will never
.. become manager or proprietor of any.
thing until he changes his conviction
His own lack of confidence and push
not circumstances, is the chain which
binds him.
1t is as natural that we should OBJ
tain the thing we long for with all
our hearts, and persistently work TO
obtain, as that stone should come
to- the earth when hurled into the air.

for it. found that the bankers and
and merchants Of the west would
agree to join forces with the farm
ers upon this proposition of ware
housing and holding cotton, in
that it promised fine security
for money that the banker had to
lend, dividend upon the cap
ital invested by those who erect
warehouses, and its tremendous
saving to the farmer who wished
to hold for higher prices. The
prospect for success, permanent l
mean, for the Southern Cotton as
sociation was never brighter than
it is now.
"By practically holding his cot
ton from the market the farmer
has forced the price to its present

on still he can force it still higher.

Mr. Z D Smith Back From
Texas Trip
Says Crop VIII be Short. boil
Wecvil, Rains an d Other
Forces Will Help the
Cotton Association
to Increase Prices.

Southern Cotton association, has
returned from a trip Of two weeks
in Texas. Mr. Smith is also field
agent Of the general association
and his energy and enthusiasm
have been potent in fusing the
many interests in the cotton
States so that they would be
united in making this successful
movement.
Mr. Smith is very much pleased
over what he saw in Texas. He
believes that the cotton associa-
ton has won its fight anyway,
but the rains and the carly ap-
pearancc Of the boil weevil mean
that the next crop will be short.
"1n the letters sent to the press
from the west | did not in any
way cNaggcrate the condition ex-
listing there up to the nth Of
May" said Mr. Smith yesterday.
"Thcrc was scarcely one third
Of the cotton in Texas planted at
the time l was there.
Through the State Of Indiana,
from Shreveport to Vicksburg,
conditions similar to those in
Texas and the territories existed.
In Missippi the conditions were
no better.
Throughout the boil weevil
section Of Texas, unless the cot
ton is planted the latter part of
March or the first Of April, it is
practically useless to plant it at
all; because in normal years the
boil wcevil comes out Of its habi
tation about the first of July, and
under these conditions crop Of
bolls is maturcd sufficiently to
guarantee a partial crop. This
year the conditions have been
ideal for the propagation Of the
boil weevil. Excessive heat and
humidity are conditions necessary
for the prolific crop, on this basis.
Already he has appeared on the
the scene.

NO SHELTER FOR COTTON.

this State, and in fact in most OF
the western States, the need ot
warehouses for protection Of the
crop was more acute than here
In those vast cotton fields ther,

the cotton, and their method O.
storing it is to enclose a space
with barbed wire, called the cot.
ton yard, and into those the farm.
ers haul their cotton (paying a
monthly rental for the use Of it)
and dump their cotton on the
ground, exposing it to the wealth

fact most Of the Mississippi
valley states, as we'll as the west
