THE BUSY MAN.
BY w. II. Willis.

BY w. II. Willis.
If you want to get favor done
BY some obliging friend
And want a promise, safe and sure
On which you may depend
Don't go to hi mwho always has
Much leisure time to plan,
But If you want your favor done
Just ask the busy man.
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spa>e
He's almays putting OFF, until
His friends are indespair
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time
He cannot stop to shirk.
So when you want favor done
And want 1t right away
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty hours a day
He'll find Q moment sure, somewhere,
That has no other use
And fix you while the Idle man
Is framing an excuse.

In 1904, in Denmark, the govern
ment issued Christmas Stamp, with
the Kings head and and the word
Jul the same as our '.Yule" on it.
IT was not good for postage, only as
a "sticker" for Christmas letters,
post cards and packages. The pro-
ceeds from it were to go toward
building . tuberculosis hospital for
little children. 1t succeeded beyond
all expectation, four million being
sold at an oere, or half-a-cent apiece
Denmark has continued it since to
maintain tuberculosis work, and the
sale in the native land of Hans Chris
tian Anderson has doubled each year
America needs such a stamp, but
her postoffice officials cannot issue
or handle it under the present postal
laws: and special act of Congress
would be necessary. Jacob Refs, him
self a lane, wrote an eloquent art
icie. published in the Outlook of
July 6, 1907, urging government ac-
tion in the matter, but there were
too many difficulties in the way. 1t
seemed, hopeless to try, but at this
Junction the Red Cross, which exists
for just such emergencies. took 1t up.
The Red Cross is a great national
organization, with branches in each
state, formed TO act in times of crisis
and TO fender aid in war. pestilence

and money for the work. The Red
Cross, therefore. with the approval
of the postal authorities, took up the
Christmas stamp last Christmas, and
tried it in one state
This was the little state of Della
ware-yery small, very conservative,
not given to enthusiasm, and having
only n few shacks in a woodland

by it's sensational record. Fifty thou
sand had been printed to sell at one
cent apiece. They went in week,
and then the stamp got into Phila-

and nearly three thousand dollars

penny stamp.
With this money the Delaware
Red Cross first brought an educa-
tional anti-tuberculosis exhibit to
Delaware. which was visited by twen-
ty thousand people in ten days
The American National Red Cross
this year, has decided to issue the
Christmas stamp in every state. A
beautiful stamp has been especially
designed by Howard Pyle, the ia
nous artist. 1t bears a wreath of
holly, and Merry Christmas" and
Happy New Year" 1t will be on

the government stamps.
The Christmas stamp is not good
for postage. 1t will not carry any
kind of mail, but any kind of mail
will carry it. Each one who uses
this holiday stamp will help to
stamp out the white plague" 1t
has been printed this time by the mil
lion to supply the demand, so any
quantity can be ordered, but cash
must be sent with each order, this
rule having been followed last year
with success. Nobody makes any
profit on the Christmas stamp, but
1t was found last Christmas that ev-
cry one was glad to help it along on
these terms. For an order of one
stamp or a thousand the price is the
same, except in the little books
! Just as the government does. The
proceeds in each state go toward
tuberculosis work in that state.
During the run of the stamp last
year. Jacob Refs wrote a congrat-
ulatory letter to the Delaware Red
Cross, and Governor Stuart of. Pen

retary Taft, all telegraphed their ap-

MouItrie Will Have Large Increase In
Is Railroad Facilities.


Moultrie. ca. Moultrie is again
threatened with the invasion Of u
number of small railroads, and the
outcome OF these projects Is being
watched with interest.
A charter has recently been granted
the Sparks and Moultrie railroad,
which will use the lbed Of road that
was built number of years ago, but
never chartered, and later taken up
and put down between Moultrie and
Triton.
There is a road coming this way
from Abel, and Is already built more
than half way. 1t is the property of a
large saWmill interest, and 1t is COM
ing along at will, and with the avow-
ed intention Of coming In Moultrie be-
fore 1t stops. Another road is being
built this way from Fort Gaines via
Arlington, Newton and Camilla.
All these roads are independent OF
Moultrie's capital or Moultrle inter-
ests. In fact, none Of them have ask
ed for subscriptions or encourage
ment whatever from Moultrie, though
such encouragement will be extended
at the proper time. While there is
much uncertainty In railroad building,
'and especially at this time, when
business is somewhat depressed, it is
likely that Moultrie will have one or
more additional railroad outlets In
the course of another year or two.

Fine Peruvian Cotton.

Efforts are being made by the De-
partment of Agriculture to introduce
in the South the fine, long staple cot
ton Of the Incas.
Cotton growing in Peru dates back
to prehistoric times, and it is quite a
common occurrence to bring to light
hne specimens of cotton textiles, in
digging up ancient Inca graves.
Pizarro was astonished at the fine
cotton cloth worn by the Peruvians.
At various times subsequent to the
conquest foreign varieties of cotton
Egyptian. Argelian, Sea Island,
Metafifi-have been introduced
among the plantations, but the dis
tinctly Peruvian variety, the Peruvian
rough of commerce, still commands
superior prices abroad. Exports are
chiefly to England and the United
States. The famous Peruvian rough.
however, does not take kindly to Gull
tivation in all parts of the Republic,
lea and Plura being the regions where
apparently it thrives best.
Inc variety called locally "Egyp-
tian," which is our upland" of the
United States, grows readily in the
coast region Of Peru. The Argelian
variety is less adaptable to local con-
ditions and suffers greatly from a
prevalent blight, the bane of cotton
planters, which is locally known as
"hielo" (trost). 1t is probably OF
psychological origin. The Metafif
(Yanovitch) and Sea Island are
grown in spots along the coast, chiefly
at Supe and Huacho, near Lima, for
export chiefly. The limitations of the
local mills form the chief reason fol
the more prevalent selection of the
VARIETY known as Egyptian, which is
more easily worked than the others
