Served His Wife Tor Dinner.

Marseilles, October 2O.-Mail advices
which bave arrived from Indo- China
brought another and more revolving
story of the doings of King Thanh Thai,
of AMMAN, showing that he went to the
extent of oannibalism.
After killing one of his wives he
caused the body to be cooked and served
up for dinner, forcing his entorage to eat
1t under pain of death.
Some of the kings wives were bound
and burned with boiling oil and sub
jected to other cruelty, while naked
women were thrown into the cages of
wild beasts, where they were devoured
before the king.
Finally the French authorities stepped
in aud made prisoner of Thanh-Thai,
who has been adjudged insane by DIR.

''royal guard" has been disbanded, the
palace has been placed under the protec
tion of $50 native soldiers, and the ter
ror-stricken inmates of the palace have
been rescued from further suffering.
The majority of these were women, who
bore the marks of revolving tortures.
Some of them were terribly mutilated,
! their faces being siashed and their
tongues cut out, while others had been
suspended by pinohers attached to the
fleshy parts of their legs.
The minister of the colonies this after
noon admitted that Thanh Thai had been
imprisoned in the palace.

Deafness Cannot be- Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf,amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tiOn of the mucous surfaces.

any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

/ OIL Mills Not Paying Enough for Seed.
Prof. j. M. johnson, of the Uni
yersity of Georgia, says that $18 per
ton is low water mark for this years
cotton seed crop.
! Prof. johnson figures that each
dollar put on to the selling price of
seed means an increase Of $500, 900
to the farmers of the South.
AT present prices of cotton oil and
meal the farmer should get at least
$18 for his seed, which amounts to
$5 per ton loss to the farmer on each
ton that he sells for $13, or loss of
over twenty-five million dollars on
the whole crop of the South.
This loss on seed in one season
would put up enough warehouses to
take care of half the cotton crop of
the whole South.
Our Farmers U-ion experiments
last year proved that ground cotton
seed paid nearly $25 per ton under
cotton and s19 per ton under corn.
Farmers, don't sell your seed for
six or eight dollars per ton less than
the seed is worth for fertilizer.
Farmers must look more after the
business side of their farming for
their own interest and quit taking
the other mans ..gures on everything.
These fa.mers are Doing Something.
The Anderson county, South
Carolina, Farmers Union is perhaps
one of the strongest county unions
in the South. This union now has
large two-story brick warehouse
about finished and ready to receive
cotton. From our exchanges we
learn that several cotton mill towns
in the South located like Anderson
right in some of the best cotton
growing territory--have not been
paying the market price for cotton.
In other words, the local mills have
this rich cotton. producing territory
rather bottled up for their own
profit, while the producers of cotton
have been forced to contribute a
tariff to these local mills, where they
should have received bounty. This
bottling up of the cotton market of
these towns of course Injuries the
trade of the towns. 1t operates
after the fashion of the COW that
sucks herself. The business men of
these bottled up cotton mill towns
are now after joining hands with
the Farmers Union in their move to
store all their cotton in bulk and
ship it out to export or other buyers.
When the organized farmers and
organized business men join hands in
a great big move like this we are
doing the things that we have been
so long talking about.

Sell few bales of your cotton at,
or about, the Farmers Union mini
mum of IL cents and pay your credi-
tors all, or at least half, you owe
them. But don't glut the market.
Better still, wherever you can
netore cotton in good warehouse, do
1t, and turn these cotton certificates
over to your creditors and keep all
the cotton off the market that it is
possible to do. If you are mot
pushed up hard for money don't put
bale of cotton on the market now,
and let the price 60 up to 12' cents,
whore our South Carolina Unions
put the price in the outset.
But don't for a moment undertake
to dodge your creditors or do any
dirty tricks in order to save a few
dollars.
Let no Farmers Union man sell
out his reputation as an honorable
man by not standing up square to
his just obligations with all men.
1t does no man any credit to do
a shady deed to get even with his
unfair creditors.
Two wrongs don't make one right
act.
The cotton market is pushing up,
trying to get above II cents, but the
cotton farmers keep piling the cot
ton on the market every time the
price starts upward, and this rush
ing cotton on the market holds the
price down.
The cotton growers are now the
worst cotton bears in our country
they are the men that keep prices
from rising by dumping on the cot
ton every time the market starts on
rise.
The men that supply the cotton
growers and have that amount of
cotton under their control could now
do great big thing for the Southern
cotton growers if they would only
come together and pull to save this
advancement in cotton for the South.
The blind, selfish greed that pos
sesses some men will never allow
them to consider the welfare of their
country at any time.
These men never once realize the
fact that the country protects their
property or they could not possess
this selfish grab after they have
taken it for their own.
A cow that sucks herself is about
as good citizen, and does about as
much toward increasing the wealth
and general prosperity of the coun-
try, as the supply man who makes
the conditions of his contracts with
the farmer in way that causes the
dumping of the cotton crop of the
helpless mortgaged farmers on the
market all in a few months time.
Some of these men that furnish
these helpless, improvident and un-
business-like farmers with supplies,
cay that they don't know how they
could manage to control the affairs
of their customers in way to help
the cotton farmer in getting profit
able prices for his cotton. But they
all know how to control the affairs
of these silly farmers in a way to
compel them to turn in their crops
|Ato themselves at the chosen time,
, whether prices are profitable or un.
profitable to the farmers. "Every
fellow for himself and let the devil
take the man that falls behind" is
too often the blind, selfish plan of
many men.

will soon get all the weak cotton out
