The continued good weather of
the past two weeks has brought
about a steady Improvement in
the cotton crop. In most sec
tons the plant is reported as
still backward. and there is still
complaints of irregular stands
1t is a matter of conjecture as to
how much continued good wealth
er can restore the crop to nor
NAL size and maturity, but the
general verdict is that it is more
or less late in all districts. The
poorest reports come from Texas
where a long dry spell has great
ly retarded the growth of the
plants. This drought has been
broken by copious showers, but
pessimists claim'that the impe-
tus TO the propagation of the boil
weevil given by the showers will
more than offset the favorable
influence on the plants. Taken
altogether, the past two weeks
have been the most favorable of
the growing season, and the eff
feet on the crops has been CORE
spondingly beneficial.

Newspaper as an Educator.

The newspaper today makes
the world go around. Business
transactions, market conditions,
political activities, routine affairs
of all walks depend upon it. 1t
is as necessary as the railway. 1t
reduces the circumference of the
earth so that a reader on one
side of the globe knows in a few
moments the current history of
another side. Itquickens thought
and stimulates instructive dis
cussion. It broadens. It informs.
A person with little schooling
might attain a good degree of
learning through reading a daily
newspaper, granted the news
paper be one in the dignified
meaning of the term. Its news
columns give him knowledge. of
the activities in the world Of pol
itics, arts and letters, religion
and commerce. It's editorials,
prepared by students and trained
writer's, provide him an analysis
of the news and instructive com
ment. Louisville Courier-Jour-

Mr.. Bryan in the South.
New York Times

The Southern Democratic news
papers, with a few notable ex-
ceptions, continue their argu-
ments against the candidacy of
Mr.. Bryan. Clearly, they all ex-
pect to support the candidate of
the Democratic convention, who
ever he may be, and few are
permitting themselves to say
things it would be difficult to
take back. In Mississippi, Bry-
ans position on the railroad
question has Enthusiastically in
jured his cause. The state de-
mands "old fashioned Democrat
ic principles" To be sure, it
has got along without them in
the past, and put up with a lot
Of new-fangled, quiet undemo-
cratic notions, but it's newspa-
pers think there is az chance in
sight of getting something
better.
In Tennessee, men who have
been conspicuously warm sup
porters of Mr.. Bryan, according
to the Nashville American, and
still admire him, do not favor his
nomination. The American says:
For the first time since the
war the South has a favorable
opportunity to procure the NOM
ination of a Southern man, and
it should take advantage of it.
And Mr.. Bryan ought to help
the South do it."
The Charlotte, (Tenn.) OBJ
server declares that Mr.. Bryan's
theories have been ruinous to him:
The South, prosperous and
contented, is far from wanting a
wild man Of any description in
the White House, even if there
were any prospect that the Dem
ocratic party could elect such
and everyone knows that there
is not the least"
The Richmond, (Va.) News
Leader declares that men who
were Bryan Democrats 6 months
ago now find it impossible to fol
him. This newspaper compares
Nh. Bryan unfavorably with
President Roosevelt. The Nor
folk, Va.) Ledger Dispatch
suggests Senator Daniel as a
candidate, but no general desire
is manifested to make pre-con
YentiOn nominations. = = =

The Mob in Indiana.

Indiana continues to make a
record in the lynching business.
Terre Haute, Ind, is a large and
cultured city, but it required a
large number of policemen there
to take a negro from a mob which
attempted to lynch him yester-
day. 1t appears that the negro
had a quarrel with a white man
and shot him. In a short while
a mob of more than 1000 people
had gathered and a number of
men seized the negro and started
for a bridge where they proposed
hanging him.
1t is the same old story of the
mob spirit in the north just as it
is in other parts Of the country
under similar conditions. But
for the adequate police protec.
ton in the North, lynchings
would be very much more nu-
merous. In the average North
ern city if the negro population
was one-half so large as in the
average Southern city and gave
one-half the trouble as they give
in many of the Southern cities,
the record of lynchings in the
North would be a great deal
larger than it is in the South.
tits all very we'll for people to
give advice to other people a
thousand miles away, especially
when the people giving this ad
vice have never had the same
experience. never faced the same
situation, as the people to whom
they are giving it. 1t is not the
purpose of this comment to give
advice to Indiana, however, other
than to suggest that Representa-
tive Crumpacker and others from
that state who have long been
agitating the alleged rights of
the negroes of the South. turn
their attention to, the situation
at home. The negroes in that
state probably feel that they
need it. Birmingham News.

Refuses to Accept Refund.

Fieber & Holmes Of Brookville,
Ind. retail lumber merchants,
is one ofthe firms that are entitled
to reimbursement from the south
ern railroads under the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court,
which holds an advance in freight
rates on lumber, made effective
about two years ago, is illegal,
and requiring the roads to return
to shippers the amount paid by
them in excess of the original rate.
Joseph Fieber, manager of the
concern, however, refuses to ac-
cept rebates. He declares that
neither his firm nor any other is
entitled to the rebates because
they lost nothing by virtue of the
increase in rates. He explains
the matter in this wise:
When the rate was increased
two cents per 100 feet, or from
Sc to SI2 per car, the shippers
Immediately met the rate increase
with an advance in prices of from
SO to 70 cents per 1000. Local
retail dealer everywhere accepted
the advance as a matter of fact,
because freight rates had gone up
and they in turn raised the price
to the consumers, who in the end
paid the increased freightcharges
and then some, and the shippers
and dealers not only did not lose
anything, but they increased
their margin of profits on every
consignment of lumber they sent
out"
When Mr.. Fieber was request
ed a few days ago to make out
and sign the necessary papers to
prove his claim against the rail
roads for excess charges, he de-
clined to do so, saying he was
not entitled to any money from
the roads and would not accept
any, unless it could be arranged
so that it could be returned in
toto to the consumers who paid

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and inn
proved way is called fue cured.
In hue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and. aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this hue cured
