n%eighbors that he was entirely innocent
OF having any Of that great force hid
den about his anatomy.
This, however, mattered not, for he
paid court to Miss Miranda with an
assiduity that was marvellous. Indeed
1t was often only after clear and en-
phatic limitations from Mrs. Bilks,
who looked upon his attentions to her
daughter with extreme scorn, that he
took himself off.
Far was it, though, from Mr.. Sharp's
intentions to be discarded and forgot
ten In such a manner, for he invariably
returned the next day to renew his
wooings with increased fervor. This
state Of affairs continued for some
time.
At last Mrs. Bilks grew suspicious.
There was q lurking fear in her mind
that the association of Zeke and Miss
Miranda was more congenial than she
had believed, or, for that matter, more
than they had cared to reveal.
To verify these suspicious Mrs. Bilks
ensconced herself behind a door near
where the couple sat in order that she
might the better catch the drift of their
conversation. What she heard satisfied
her beyond question that she had sur
missed correctly. With much dispatch.
therefore, she set aside the washtub,
doused the fire under the kettle with
water and, DOMINIC her best frock, hur-
rted to the Office Of the county clerk.
where, with a long pointed finger, she
warned that, gentleman not to be "giv-
In Of any licenses to Miranda Bilks
an that %rapscallion Zeke Sharp"
Then she returned home In a very
complacent humor with herself for hav-
ing forestalled the clippers. She was
hardly prepared, though, for the conse-
quent developments, and it was with
much surprise that she herself received
q visit from Zeke Sharp.
Zeke tapped lightly on the front
door. Mrs. Bilks answered the knock
and coldly Informed him that Miriam.

anyways" responded Zeke in q feeble
voice.
At this piece of news Mrs. Bilks'
eyes widened %perceptibly as she re-
garded her caller for a moment. It
wasn't necessary, however, for her to
invite him in, for Zeke was already in
and seated.
Il shore wuz sorry, Miz Bilks, cause
you wouldn't let me an Mirandy have

Here Mrs. Bilks smoothed out q gar

Dan Cupid laid aside his bow

Dan Cupid laid aside his bow
And fell to weeping soft and low
AS tho his gentle heart would break
Or life that childish form forsake.
For had he not for years and years
BY gifts of love arranged our tears
And mingled with the things Of strife
A softer element In life,
Ant was 1t not his cherished plan
Each year to stimulate the man
send his love a fabric fine
That mortals call . valentine.
And now some scheming Yankee fool
In other words a Satan's tool
Made comic valentines for cash
And Cupid's schemes went all to smash.
And now bound down in teary grief
He set his brain gainst Yankee beef
But fast as came new thots that day
The salt tears washed them all away.
Until he doubted half his power
And faith grew fainter every hour
Till tired and wan he said What luck
lllhave to farm it for my chuck"
But fate decreed a wiser plan
And by the shoulders shaking Dan
She whispered In his ear a word
Wnlcn CUPID had no sooner heard
When leaDing up he made things sing
AS fast he frightened bow and string:
go to the maid, ye lads of mine
And be your own sweet valentine.n

NO MORE sIX-CENT COTTON
That Is the Belief Expressed by Men
Prominent in the World OF
Cotton Trade.
From the savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The tenor of the addresses deliver
ed on the first day of the tenth annual
convention of the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association, which met
at. Asheville, N. c., on Wednesday,
was that the days of five-cent and six
cent cotton were gone forever. Mr..
H. Nj. Miller, the president of the as
ISOLATION, said there were two strong
reasons for this view. One was that
the cotton farmer, holding the key to
the situation, would demand great
err price, and the other was that it had
been demonstrated within the last few
years that the old theory that ter-cent
and twelve-cent cotton would curtail
consumption was true. He pointed
out that since the price of cotton had
averaged about nine cents a pound
there had been very large increase
in the number of spindleS and in con-
sumption.
AS long as the world is prosperous
price will be paid for cotton that
will afford both the producer and
he manufacturer fair profit. But if
hard times come, throwing wage-earn-
ers out of employment and bringing
financial distress to all classes, max
ing economy and retrenchment neces-
sary, consumption is certain to be cut
down, and with the falling off of con-
sumption there will come a decline in
the price.
While, therefore, President Miller
was pretty safe in stating that we
should never again see five-cent and
six-cent cotton conditions may arise
that will make it impossible for the
world to pay more than FIVE cents or
six cents a pound for the cotton the
producers have to sell. AS long as
times remain good, however, it is
practically certain that the increase in
the output of cotton will never be so
great that the world cannot consume |
it at price that will yield the pro-
ducer a good profit.

DEATH DRoM PARIS GREEN.
Little Boy Is Killed by Eating Poisoned
Strawberries.

Little Boy Is Killed by Eating Poisoned
Strawberries.
A special from Eatonton to the
Macon Telegraph says:
One of the saddest deaths that
ever occurred in this community was
that of little Randolph Ballard, the
seven year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Porter Ballard, today at ten o'clock
at the home of his parents on Magno-
liza Hill. The little fellow was taken
sick early this morning with symp-
toms of poisoning, and after suffer
ing intense agonies in spite of the
best medical skill died at the hour
above stated. 1t is believed that
Paris green from a neighboring gar
den blew over into the Ballard straw
berry bed adjoining the fence, and
that he ate some of the strawberries.
This is the only possible solution of
the sad affair.
