ably as 1t can be grown, with the re-
suit that cotton mills have spru,R up
all over the south. especially in the
Carolinas. These southern mills have
brought about a decided change in tho
lines of commercial distribution and
have likewise stimulated competition to
such an extent that cotton prices are
soaring, to the intense satisfaction Of
the southern planter. The inc eised
activity Of the gulf ports within the
last decade has been another large fac
tor in contributing to the present pros
perity Of ten southern States. OF last
years cotton crop OF 1927 .612 bales
the gulf ports received 6,G92. 761 bales,
or two-thirds. while the Atlantic ports
had to be content with only 3.51S.s5i
bales. Figures Of the export trade In
cotton show that SO per cent OF the
crop sought foreign markets.
Different factors have contributed tn
this era Of plenty. The first, undoubt'
eddy. is the marvellous resources with
which this country Is blessed. Next
as factor in industrial greatness
comes the business ability Of Ameri'
cans. In lnventiveness and aptitude to
adjust himself rapidly to changing con
ditions and willingness to discard old
untried. in Imagination to see indus
trial possibilities and courage to act
on his convictions. the American busl-
ness man Is without peer.
The American railroad Is another
factor, and by no means a small one
in the countrys Astounding prosperity
Ever since the first steel rails, the pre-
c,lrSors of civilization. pushed Their
way slowly cross the prairies Of the
middle west. climbed the Rocky Noun
tainS by tortuous paths and came to a
stop only when the waves of the Pacific
confronted them the great problem OF
railroad managers has been to develop
the country, to increase traffic and tC
cause two blades of grass to grow
where but one has grown before. That
they have succeeded beyond all hopes
is proved by the commercial reports
and the industrial statistics of the year
lust passed and this success has beer
won under system free from onerous
government regulation. 1t has not been
necessary to submit every emergency
rate to a government commission fo-
approval or condemnation nor to con
duct business according to rates fixed
by body of laymen chosen by the
president, possibly for political reasons.
I he experience of European countries
whose railroads are under government
control gives reason for the assertion
made by competent authorities, that il
American railways were managed as
are those in old world lands American
railroad managers would not have been
called upon to furnish facilities for
moving more than 330OO,OOO carloads
in 1909 nor would the new cars and
locomotives ordered In the first forty.
one weeks of 1905 be equal to the Ell
tr. number ordered in 1904.

Using sign of the times is the appear

by Prof. Kovalensky and brilliant
staff of professors and writers.
The new paper appeals to the intel

program, suited to the needs of the
country. 1t declares its conviction on
one hand that reaction would mean
ruin. and on the other that tho COM
plete collapse of the present regime
wOuld result in Il period of anarchy
from which no one can foresee the ul-

The paper also announces that it ia.

their devotion to Liberalism is certain
to give the paper great influence in
shaping chaotic public opinion.

Persistent Ansemia Cured by o..
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

"When began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,
IL was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anamia.
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, had such dis
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that could
hardly breathe. But the worst Of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. NV
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
l had grown worse every day. After
had taken the pills a short time could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and in three weeks I could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon.
venience. also slept soundly. have
taken several boxes Of the pills and have
gained III weight from 12O to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure anamia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
have failed. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on,
receipt Of price, 80 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
