M Philpot returned last night from Tulsa, Ok, where he was called several days ago by the chief of police who stated that he had Noab Owens, a negro, under arrest there aEd that the negro stated that he was wanted in this county, Jefferson, for the murder of his wife.

 Nr. Jordan said The aaaevel#s Of tbe policies and purposes of the Southern Cotton Association have been somewhat indifferent jo the cause during the past eighteen months.

This apparent indifference oi the farming and business interests of the South, heretofore malNhing 50 eonspicaously under the fa4 af tho Southern Cotton Association has been due almost entirely 10 two things, viz: That up to January I. 1908, the cot loa tn2de of the world was never bet .Na and Jhe prices of spot cotton fairly satisfactory to growers, merchants and bankers Under these conditions the people appeared satisfied and the power and influence of the associa- tion which had been so conspicuous in forcing prices for spot cotton from six cents to eleven and twelve cents WAS allowed to remain largely in < Formative but not very active stage.
 Conditions are now rapidly chang taS for the worst and unless the strong, active forces of the Southern States are under the flag of the as @oeiation, the South may face next December somewhat the same char acter of troubles which menaced lis in the winter of 1901. The cotton trade in this country is already seriously ac- fected and cables from my correspond ents in Europe just received indicate that if spot cotton continues to go down in price the cotton trade of En- rope will be disorganized.

WHY We CALL 1T FALL.

Although fall is an old provin.
cisl word of the English, it NAV
be said to be as expressive as any
word we use, for during the three
months we assign to the season.
September, October and Novem.
berthe flowers fall in the garden,
fruits fall in the orchard, nuts fall
in the woods, rain falls from the
clouds, the leaves fall everywhere
and the mercury begins to fall in
the tube, while the sun falls away
to the southwark, and night falls
early. Already, the leaves of vari
GUS colors are dotting the lawns
and the foliage is visibly thinning
on trees and shrubs. The shorI
life of the leaf is epded; it ha!
served It's purpose, and now sinks
away to renew the life of the sol
over the roots of the tree or shrub
In selecting shade trees or shrubs
for the home grounds, it is no.
good to choose those that droI
their leaves early. There are many
varieties that contribute to thu
gorgeous coloring of the autumn
landscape, with changes from
shades of bronze to scarlet, from
palest green to richest yellow, anC
among the handsomest are tn,
American elm, water oak, SOM
ash trees, the hard maple and tn
finer soft ones, the hickories, anC
many other native trees that d.
we'll grown from the seed, or trans
planted.

THE MAN WHO PAYS.

If there is any particular indi-
vidual in this world who should
have an extra star in his crown
when he shuffles eff this mortal
coil and takes his seat with the
saints above we believe it is the
man who, while toiliug here below
paid his debts as they came due,
or at least made an honest effort
to do so. Really, we believe that
debt-paying is going to be one of
the requisites necessary to pass St.
Peter, and that many "good cit
izen" whose record is full of fla
grant lapses in this respect will
have serious trouble getting in at
the golden gate,
Too many people go through life
on the plan of letting the man they
owe do the worrying. Too many
of us are prone to become careless
when our own sordid aims are III
the balance, and we need a whole
some revival of the sacredness of
our obligations. There is some
thing wrong III the makeup of the
man who does not worry about his
debts. ISsss . .sns-s flEssssss
Some individuals with means
amply sufficient to pay that they
owe prefer to invest their money
and reap dividends, or store it in
a banks strong box, while their
creditors noses are held to the
grindstone; others would pay if
they had more money than they
need, but feel under no obligation
to retrench or stint themselves in
order that the men they owe may
be paid; while others still will not
pay at alI-they de not contract
debts with the intention of paying
them. The latter class are unde-
sirable in all that the term i'm
plies.
"The poor ye have always with
you" and misfortunes are liable
to befall the man with the highest
respect for his obligations, render
ing it impossible for him to pay
his debts, but these form only a
small percentage of the debtor
class, and an honest debtors ina
bility is never taken advantage of
by an equally honest creditor.
What an impetus would be given
to business, how many sleepless
nights, and how many failures
would be avoided if every man in
Georgia made a firm resolve to-
morrow morning to pay what he
owes, as far as lay in his power.
Millions of debt woHld be dis
charged, credit and confidence re-
stored, and we would all be inn
measurahly happier and none any
poorer.
Almost every business man in
every town and city in the coun-
try has felt the blight of bad debts
it is the milestone about the neck
of Industrial prosperity. No man
has the right TO take his neighbours
substance without rendering value
received. In truth, the nobiest
work of God is an honest man.
