WILL PROTECT THE SOCIETIES
Legislation In Favor of Many Frater-
nal Orders.

A bill just introduced in the legisla-
ture is calculated to knock out the COL
ored order of Elke. This measure
m axes it miedemeanor for any person
not member of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elka, Fraternal
Order Of Eagles, Knights of Pythias,
Odd Fellows or Ancient Free and Ac-
cepted Masons TO wear any insignia of
said organizations. The clause which
is believed to be aimed at certain ne.
gro societies which nominate them
selves "Elks" is that ''no defense will
be allowed in any proceedings, that
the accused is q member of any organ
izatlon other than those specified
which had adopted an insignia as it's
own" The EIks in many sections of
the country have gone into the courts
with injunction to prevent negro E.ks
from wearing the regulation insignia
and to prevent them from using any
ritual which may be the same as the
white order.

1T DROPS BACK TO TEN CENTS
January Contracts are Forced Down
IL Points.


Renewed onslaught upon the part of
the bovines yesterday forced January
cotton from 10 II down to the even
dime, where ii stood at the close, while
October cotton was forced down to 80
and barely steady at that. Advices say
that the crop prospect is too good to
maintain present prices-even 9! cents
to 10 cent?, and that, unless there is a
disaster to the cotton crop genereIIy,
even lower prices may be expected.
OF course this is not in keeping at all
with what the consumers and speouIa-
tors said when the crop was being
planted and farmers were assured that
IL, 100000 bales would be needed, but
now they are gong to horse laugh the

The Man With the Shovel.

From the MlnDeapOIe JouTnai
1--WE sod In 1905" says a Boston manu-
facturer, 10000 dozen shovels and de-
livered them to railroads. mining companies
and other large users. One might think so
many shovels would be enough for time.
but this year our sales will amount to
100000 dozen, or a little less than 100000
shovels."
Every phase of activity entering into the
unbounded prosperity Of the country has
been commented upon until IL would seem
that there is no feature entirely new. yet
the production of shovels, certainly fine
index, has not been much thought about
Five million shovels must mean great labor
in improvement and preparation for new
railroad and other building. and much new
wealth taken out of the earth. Monetary
records, new showings in imports and ex-
ports, manufacturing totals not before
reached, and new high bank clearings hav-
all been considered representative of the
prosperity now enjoyed. yet nothing could
be so truly significant as the illustration
here afforded. This is the year of the man
with the shovel Nothing more basic could
be found. and an apt and expressive name
for the period would be the year of the
5000, 900 shovels.
