EUFAULA COTTON
 MILLS ARE SOLD
BOUGHT IN BY LOCAL BoNDHOLp- FRS FOR APPROPRIATIONS MAY BE REsUMEo-THE NEW MAYOR GETS BUSY.

Eufaula, October 2z-(Special.)-Th Eu- faula cotton mills of this city were sold today under a decree issued by the chan cery court. The property. which included the lot, buildings and all improvements, was Up for the execution of a certain deed of trust which was issued July 15, 1902. The property was bid in by F. W. Jen- bond holders, for the sum of 345, 250. The condition was that the purchasers should be liable for any indebtedness due by the mill for taxes and insurance. amounting to $99O0, and the expense of the court and attorneys fees, amounting to S200, to be assumed by the bondholders prior to the sale It is also known that mort gages are held against all improvements in the plant since 1902 and on all cottons, cloth, coal, oil and other supplies that have accumulated since that time, which were not included in the sale. As to what adjustment of the latter can be made is not yet known, but 1t is be- lieved that some satisfactory conclusion will be reached and the plant will again resume operations.
 c. S. McDowell Jr., the new mayor of the city, is going after volaters of the law in a measure that is fast repleting the city treasury, and which will no doubt abate much of the nuisances. Seventeen cases that were convicted yesterday ag- gregated s616 in fines, which, together with others of the month, swells the total to 1928. In two cases wherein the parties were convicted of robbing the dispensary they were given six months and fine Of s10O each. MT. McDowells s administration has covered barely a. month, and the city's receipts from this source is put down at S950, as against only about S1200 for the period of 12 months previous.
 The committee of arrangements for the fall carnival to be held here from Novem- Der 10 to IA held meeting last night and perfected all arrangements. The city will be turned over to the visitors during the time and a gala occasion is antici- pated. Arrangements have been perfect ed to have balloon ascensions, horse rac- ing. boxing bouts and other interesting amusements to entertain the visitors. The affair has been thoroughly advertised.

Couldn't Remove Hats

French audiences at the play are re- joicing over the comfort which the law requires since September 1 in the matter of removing hats. Femininity no longer is made the target for unkind epithets, hurled by many who go to see the play, only to find their views obstructed by enormous millinery creations.
 A correspondent from Paris for one of the leading eastern papers tells of an in- cident which occurred just before the hat law passed at one of the prominent "Revue". theatres. A Frenchman at the top of his lungs shrieked, "Chapeau,' in an effort to induce some American wom- en to remove their hats.
 As soon as they had any idea what the Frenchman wanted, they, of course, &C., ceded to his formidably expressed re- quest Two French women who were sit- ting in front of an American at the same theatre were not so willing.
 Ut is really impossible for us to remove our hats" they said, "as our hair is fastened to them.
 The American finding himself quite un- able to see bit of the stage, finally sent for the manager. who promptly requested that the hats be removed, hair and all, which was as promptly done.

Temper and Complexions

How little women realize the inn mense influence the temper has upon the complexion.
 The girl with a. hasty temper in- variably has trouble with her skin. Sometimes red spots come out promi- nently, and refuse to be hidden by the artifice of powder. Sometimes 1t is an angry flush that rises to the face and, when 1t disappears, leave the skin quite dry and painful.
 Now, the cause of all this is the ex- citement of getting angry for the blood gets hot and courses quicker than usual through the veins, thereby disorganiz- ing different functions of the body. And the result is a bad complexion, as we'll as indigestion and a torpid liver.
 Very little can be done for the skin while the temper remains unch eek ed Perhaps the girl who at the moment is worrying over spotty skin will pause and think whether nasty temper is causing the mischief: and, if this is so, let her set about curbing her temper without any delay, if she would regain the healthy bloom of happy girlhood.

Don't Be a Quiiter>


 Simply because things don't go your way is it any reason for giving up the game, and leaving the field to others? Some one has suggested that the words, Don't be a quitter'' should be embroid- cred in vari-colored mottoes and hung in the living room of every home, in stead of the various ones suggestive of Do good and fear not" or God bless our home" when everybody in it is try ing her best to keep Him from doing so. Some wholesome advice is to teach children from their infancy the import ance of patience and perseverance.
 Take the sweet little girl in the home; teach her how much easier she can make life for everybody that loves her by accepting her small trials without whin- ing about them.
 If she cannot. have a new frock every time her "chum'' does, train her to brush her old one, wash her ribbons and wear her smile and it's dimples. so in evidence that nobody will think about the frocks of either
 If she has to attend to her own little room because there is no maid, teach her that it is privilege and not hard ship. not a difficulty to avoid, but one to face.
 Teach the boy to master knot in his shoestring or to spin his top successfully, even If it takes him hours to do either, teach him to master his examples him. self, rather than to run away from the difficulties which other boys solve. Teach him that when he is afraid is the time he must appear the brayest, and that anybody can be a coward. Teach him that, while it may be hard to refuse to listen to vulgar and debasing stories it will be harder for him to be a good man unless he does.

Floors, Walls and Ceilings

Every woman who takes a real inter- est in her home, is glad of little sug- gestions for beautlfying it and making work lighter
 In wall decoration possibly the first consideration should be given to appro- priateness. One may have a strong pref erence or liking for walls that are cov- cred with tapestry, leather, silk, or dam- ask, but whether such materials are ap- propriate for the style of house one may have to decorate remains with the indi- yidual decorator to decide. The value of such materials lies, to a large extent, in the variety arising from unevenness of texture, which relieves the monotony of an otherwise uninteresting surface.
 From a sanitary point of view a wall that can be easily cleaned is of course most desirable.
 As the ceiling is a part of the wall 1t should always be treated with reference to 1t. Although it does not ordinarily affect the beauty of the room to any great extent, unless the room is of unusual size, It's treatment, whether simple or ornate, should be harmonious The wall decoration should never be allowed to extend over onto the ceiling, unless it is the decorators intention to lower the cell ing, which is apt to be disagreeably accomplished in this manner.
 cream white ceiling, whether of paper or kalsomine, will usually har- monize with any wall treatment and n to tighten the room. Or the cell
 be colored several tints lighter
 # Che side walls, but of the same
 le co aring of the floor should represent ne strongest note in the scale and yet should not force itself upon the observation. Hardwood floors if treated to bring out the color naturally are not usually sufficiently strong in color to hold their place. This possibly explains why hardwood floors are apt to be more successful in rooms that are light in trea tment. Ii Is (an accepted fact that the hardwood floor is more sanitary than any other, un- less it be a mosaic floor which are, however, rather uncommon, except in halls. The addition of rugs to a hardwood floor will give the necessary depth of tone and add the desired finish. The rugs used should contain to some extent the local color of the wall with the addition of contrasting colors to give character and snap. The best Oriental rugs combine their colors in a manner that has never been rivaled, and our finest modern carpets are sadly inferior. If the room con tains several small rugs they should each harmonize with the other so that the unity of the whole may be main tained, otherwise it is better to have but one large rug.

rate waist this season, as well as the cos- tune waist.
 The waistline of all ordinary waists, notwithstanding warnings to the contrary, remains about normal, although the prin- cess modes have left their stamp on the fit about the waist line. Some of the net and chiffon blouses for wear with di- reetoire suits are made to end just be- low the bust, however.
 The draped surplice, with it's soft folds drawn easily into the girdle, and it's bit of embroidered vest showing in a V be- tween, is one of the most universally be- coming of the new modes. Fitted snug ly over the stout figure it serves to hide the real proportions, while it rounds out the over-slender lines of the opposite type when bloused with a free hand.
 Altogether, the new waists give prom ise of being as sensible as they are pic- turesque.
