lands in the fatwoods has increased
so rapidly here of late years and has
produced such fine crops that MANY
people are going to that section, be-
leving that it is hard to beat. There
are quite number of recent arrivals
from across the Savannah in South
Carolina, and they are delighted. If

anything to establish its reputation.
that need Is now no longer neces-
sary."
This is talking the thing up pretty
well. And we have no doubt that
the farming lands in the Aatwoods
are all right, and possibly possess a
specially fine adaptation of soil for
raising Of some special crops and for
the reaching Of great success in di-
versifled farming. We dare say that
this Is a favored section for farming
with successful outcome. Take it
for granted that the lands there are
better than the average lands, it
still takes brain force on the part of
the planter to reap the highest bene-
fits. That is the secret after all. in
telligent labor, intensive effort. And
with proper care, sensible endeavor;
and tireless labor, desert-looking
farm may be made to blossom rs
the rose and bring forth a satisfac-
tory fold. There is not room in the
fiatwoods for all of the farmers that
are needed. Take your own land.
even if it may not be quite so fertile,
quite so good, quite so adaptable. util-
ize a little gray matter, profit by
your own experience, and the expe-
rienceSof others, put the will and the
muscle to the proposition, get better
results next year than you did this,
and point the finger of success toward
the highest pinnacle.

PROSPERITY CONTINUES.

Foreign banks may fail and an
American bank here and there NAV
be affected and become embarrassed.
There may be slumps in Wall street
and Tightening of money. But the
general business of the country is in
a healthy condition, and it will re-
main sound to the end of the year.
Furthermore, the indications point to
a continuance of prosperity in 1908.
In Birmingham prosperity was
never more pronounced than it is now.
Last year it was at high-water mark,
but when 1907 comes to close new
record will have been made.
A few years ago Wall street panics,
such as have excited the money mark
ct, at intervals, during the past nine
months, would have resulted in wide
spread disturbance of business: but so
prosperous and rich has this country
become that stock market slumps
come and go with only a passing re-
mark in the Industrial and commercial
world.
Certain II is that the banking stu
alton in Birmingham is not only nor
NAL, but exceptionally satisfactory.
The pay rclls are steadily increasing,
and capital is all the while accumu-
lating. Birmingham is now recog-
nized as the money center of Alabama
and, with one or two exceptions, the
money center Of the South. Outside
Of New Orleans the Birmingham
banks are nearer impregnable than
any south Of the Ohio river.
Commercial travellers agree in re-
porting that sales in this district were
never larger than they have been this
fall. IF there Is tagging in business

ELECTRICITY IN DOMESTIC USE.

6O1h4O11 I'm OQmdO11O ~ GEl.
The recent electrical exhibition at
Madison Square Garden, in New York,
was revelation to many Of the pos
sibilities Of utilizing electricity for
domestic uses. The Brooklyn Eagle,
for example, says that the display in
this respect was actually startling to
those who witnessed it for the first
time.
A feature Of the exhibition was the
arrangement OF an apartment house
Of five rooms, with complete electric
equipment. The apartments were
heated and all Of the cooking done by
electricity; the sewing machine was
operated by motor; the dishes were
washed and rinsed; the domestic
washing done. Indeed. electricity, in
this particular modern apartment was
the domestic servant, doing all of the
hard and disagreeable work, the most
distasteful to the average housewife.
In addition to thisy Of course, the
house was brilliantly and decoratively
lighted by electricity; and it con-
tanned, a doubtful advantage, a me-
chanical piano, also electrically op-
Grated, without the intervention Of
human hands, and started and stop
ped by merely touching a button.
Throwing g. switch flooded the house
with music from teleharmonic, OPP
Grated at central station.
It is difficult to see anything par
ticularly startling about this. All of
these operations, it has been under
stood for long while. could be done
by electricity, and doubtless there are
hundreds of other directions in
which the domestic offices can be
ightened by the use Of electrical ap-
paratus. The one trouble has been
that the cost of using electricity on
such a scale has been prohibitive.
Still, conditions in this respect will
not always be as they are now. In
such community as Seattle we can
anticipate the practical utilization of
electricity for domestic work, because
here steam is already divorced from
electricity. The utilization of small
fraction of the splendid water pow
ers within radius of hundred miles
from Seattle would furnish power suf-
fcient to operate every factory and
every house, if equipped as is the
model apartment in the Madison
Square reexhibit.-Post-Intelligencer.

man would do his duty, these evils
could be eradicated. To do this, it
behooves you, as a member Of the
Farmers Union, to adhere to it's prin-
ciples by soliciting for and placing
the warehouse on sound basis, and
then, and not until then, will we be
ready for business as a Farmers I'm
ion institution.
Remember the warehouse is exactly
what you make Of it. Remember
every effort that is put forth, either
for good or bad, is the fruit of your
labor. We can not do one single
thing by lot of wind-jamming, but
let each and every one Of us practice
what we preach. I will declare unto
you, as an officer Of the Faulkner
county union, that there is more de-
pendent upon the warehouses of Faulk-
ner county than any other principle
of the Farmers Unicn.
This is a matter you can see as
we'll. Then why do you stand back,
grumble and groan at the other fel-
low, when if each and every one of
you would come on and discharge
your duty as you should, we could
get to doing business and the nour
troubles would be at an end? Rut
negligence, carelessness, and net at
tending to our own business, has
erected US upon the pinnacle of mis-
fortune today, yet we still ad-
here to the same old principles.

means you. Our crop is cut short by
one-half throughout the cotton belt.
We can obtain the minimum price
just as easily as to reject it. Deposit
your cotton in your warehouse, draw
enough money to satisfy your demands
until the 15-cent mark is reached.
which will only be a matter of time.
Now, brothers, as I have said be-
fore, the warehouse system is the only
means whereby we can ever reach the
manufacturer. Then, if this be true,
figure for moment and see the bene-
fit of the warehouse system.

WAREHOUSE SYSTEM.
County Lecturer P. A. Hyatt Charges
Negligence.
On Part of Members of Farmers I'm
ion.-Tells Them What They Will
Have to Do to Make the Warehouse
System a Success.

My brothers, this is one question
that has, or should have, the dne con-
sideration of every farmer, and es-
pecially SO with the man that raises
cotton.
This proposition has been discuss
ed many times, and why it is that
the cotton growers do not heed
the financial advantages set forth by
the warehouse proposition we can not
solve. We say, and confirm, that the
warehouse system is the foundation
and groundwork Of the Farmers
Union. My brother, we take the au-
thority to say without the warehouse
system the Farmers Union is COM
plete failure, so far as bettering the
condition Of the cotton grower is con-
cerned
We will say, however, during last
season we had very few warehouses
in the State of Arkansas as compared
to the number we have at the present
date. But still we find through the
workings Of the warehouse system
throughout the State last season the
farmers received enough by deposit
ing their cotton in the warehouses to
pay the taxes Of three counties the
size of Faulkner.
At the present time we have a
general system of warehouses estab-
lished throughout the State ready to
do business for the cotton grower di-
rect to the manufacturer. Brothers.

a few points, however, on the men,
bers Of the Union in regard to our
Faulkner county warehouse. We Will
say that the warehouse Of this county
is not what it ought to be, simply be-
cause the members of our Union have
not made the effort on their part.
We-all of us-are responsible for
the financial condition of our ware
house. It is an unvarnished shame
that conditions are as they are There
are evils connected with this ware

She Had Many suitors.

Napoleon ILL.,, when he was living In
London; the Duke dAumale, Lord
Beaconsfield and many other conspic
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett-Coutts, who afterward became
baroness, and 1t is doubtful whether
any woman ever received so large q
number of matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became a posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1S47 she was
compelled. to bring legal proceedings
against lawyer of the name of Rich
ard Dunn. who, according to the
terms of the Indictment, had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel-
come attentions with a view to matri-
mony. Dunn was sent to prison for
eighteen months. although there is no
doubt that he was, while sane in other
matters, perfectly crazy on the subject
Of Miss Burdett- Coutts, as she was
then, and particularly on the subject of
her fortune. Chicago Tribune.

the profit from this tasting is almost
gigantic. On rare occasions exception

''On the testimony of Anna r. Maust
Mary A. Rhoages, and Florence
Rhoages who on their oath testify that
Anna r. Maust was II years old on
August 7, 1907; that her mother is
dead, that her father Charles Maust is
drinking man, and does very little
for her support, makes her walk for
miles in the country to saw mill camps
and the like and as result she has no
one to look after her temporal, spiritual
and educational needs, except the

The above is the copy of paper On
file in the Office of Squire Teats, in
Oakland Little Anna wandered into
Oakland, on July 7th, without a penny
or friend, and made her way to
Rhoages restaurant on Railroad street
where she was taken in and has since
made her home. She was taken before
Squire Teats Tuesday, and there in the
presence of large number of people,
she told the story Of a life that has been
made miserable through faults and
wrongs Of others. Many Of the hearts
Of the listeners melted as the little one
told of her suffering and Of her utter
helplessness. The Squire issued the
necessary papers upon the prop =
parties and will make efforts 10 get a
home for the little one as well as to
bring the guilty ones to justice
The child is too sicl, in both heart and
body to work, and so she was directed
to consult Health Officer, Dr. J. E.
Legge, and from him secure medicine
and advice to restore her frail body to
its former health and vigor.
Little Anna drifted into Oakland from
Hutton, where she said she was left. She
told of the cruel treatment she had re
ceived there from a relative and how
she made up her mind to 90 somewhere
