LICENSE SCHEDULE PURPOSELY DELAYED Could Not Be Legally Adopted
 Before December FEW KICKS WERE MADE Services at the Churches of Ensey For Tomorrow-Thread of the
 Story Club Elects
 Officers.

Ensley, November 22.-(Special)-In re- ferring to the action of the city council last night in deferring the passage of the license schedule for 1908, an alderman said: "The reason the license schedule was not adopted Thursday night was sim ply because the city code specifically sets the date for the adoption of the same on the first meeting in December of each year. Had we adopted the schedule Thursday night, the action of the council might have been attacked. Now, as re- gards the kicks, but few have been reg istcred. The great majority of the peo- pie realize the necessity for revenue to maintain the high standard of our public schools, fire, police, and street depart ments, and are accepting the situation and are willing to pay their part of the burden. I want to emphasize the fact that the committee have earnestly striven to place the increased taxation equally without fear or favor. Politics have had absolutely nothing to do with it, nobody was rewarded, and nobody punished. There is feeling of qualification among the committee that the general public almost unanimously approve what has been done.'

SEVERE TRANSFORM.
Much Damage Is Done To the Crops
 Around Athens.

Athens, November Special. )-This county was visited by one of the severest waterspouts known here for some years yesterday. Damage is reported from the lowlands and cotton that had not been picked was injured by being driven from the bolls by the heavy beating rain. The cotton promises short in this county shorter than for many years, owing to the lateness of the crop. Farmers are disappointed in the yield, for the prospect was encouraging some weeks ago, but the frost cut short all the top crop and much of the very best bottom crops.
 The contractors having in charge the erection of Trinity college which is built in the old fort in this place, have about finished their work and the building will be completed next week.
 At the home of her son, Robert M. Leonard. at Cartwright. in this county. last night, Mrs Louisa Phelps, widow of Rev. Joshua Phelps, departed this life, aged 90 years. She was one of the oldest residents of the county and wom- an of most remarkable popularity in her section

SLEEP BROKEN BY
 ITCHING ECZEMA
Skin of Whole Body Covered for a Year-Awful Itching Kept Suf- ferer Awake Half the Night Tried All Kinds of Remedies but They Had No Effect.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
 A PERFECT SUCCESS

"I wish to let you know that have used one set of Cuticura Remedies - one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box Of Cuticura, but two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills = which cost me . dollar and twenty-five cents in all. For a year have had what they call eczema: I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. tried all kinds of rem. edies, but could get no relief. A friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies which I did, and am very glad tried them, for I was completely cured. If any of my friends should be troubled with the same disease, l will cheerfully recommend the Cuticura Remedies, and if 1 know any one who wants to know how I cured myself, l shall be glad to tell them.

The SOuth'S Best Currency.

u HID lOWll Wodlu ioouC olCdiilS llodoC certificates, answered: We have a better way. We will advise and influ- ence our people to sell a thousand bales of cotton a week, iD six weeks that will give us Three Hundred Thousand Dol lars, all the additional currency we need; this will leave our farmers with as much more cotton on which to speculate on the price,"
 Why is this not an example worth while for every community in the South.
 One of our customers in Fort Gaines, Ga., gave me his cash sales for last Fri day and Saturday as Twelve Hundred Dollars. Evidently that town, too, be- lieves in making the best use of its quick assets.
 Cotton is the Universal Currency; growing it is our talent-not exactly our one talent, yet if we fail to use it for : circulation, are we not putting ourselves in the class of the unprofitable servant who buried his one and only?
 The merchant or farmer who owns cotton has the right to hold it for any price he thinks it will bring. Mark, we say what he owns. But, if perchance he owes money, is it wise to withdraw that much from the general circulation?
 It is well to remember that the worlds record of low priced cotton fol- lowed the panic of 'o3; conditions today are different. Unless there comes a commercial and industrial depression there is every reason to believe that the present price of the South's great staple will obtain throughout the season.
 Therefore, while far from prophet, it would seem the part of wisdom for the thinking men of each community to advise their friends and felloW-farmers to get the benefit of present prices, so far at least as will pay off matured ob ligations then hold the surplus in cot ton if they prefer that investment to a bank deposit, drawing good interest which his banker or merchant today will cheerfully pay.
 Your merchants credit is the bull wark you may need to make the next crop. Help him to sustain it by con- servative, commonsense cooperation,

 Better still; if you could enter the new year determined and equipped to make the next crop on a cash basis, the
