COTTON CROP IS OFF
THE PRESENT IS MOST CRITICAL TIME
 OF THE SEASON.
The Market is stail Unsafisfactory.-M1d diinR Was Bringing e9zc in Mont gomery Yesterday With But
 Little selling.

No matter from which point of view look is taken. the cotton season and con- ditions now are in a critical condition, especially this month. on which so much depends. The reports for September are awaited with the utmost anxiety by the cotton factors and farmers and the price for the remainder of the season will be governed almost entirely thereby.
 With abnormally bad weather over the belt throughout the entire season, with on- ly few localities excepted. many areas have been almost decimatea. but of these Louisiana has been the greatest sufferer. not only from the weather but from the Tavages of the boil weevil as we'll This post has also done much damage in Arkan- saa, and in many other sections.
 In these reports of bad news there are . few bright spots but not enough to help materially the general distress
 As the result of various meetings re- sarding the price. farmers all over the belt are holding their cotton. except in in- stances where they are compelled to sell for financial reasons to meet obligations contracted with advance money concerns.
 Local cotton, for the time of year, Is dwindling. the shipments instead of in- rreaslng are in many cases falling off The best price offered in the local market is sMc for strict middling. and sAc for anIddiing.
 The future market is practically at the same stage it has hovered around for the last few days.

THE SALOON DRUG STORE

Sir-As a democrat | heartily in
dorse Governor Hanly's action in call
| ing the legislature in special session.
Yet, while l am bitter opponent of
the whisky business, is it just to stop
| the saloons and allow the drug stores
| the freedom to sell Intoxicating liq-
uors? Nowadays you can't look over
police court records in our daily pap
ers without finding convictions of
druggists for selling whisky.
Right here in Richmond in the last
| few weeks there have been two drug
gists arrested for violating the liquor
| laws, but it seems that arresting and
| assessing fines has no effect on a
great many druggists. The only way
| to stop them is to have a law like
Ohio-prohibit them from selling the
booze in any quantities except on pre-
scriptions of reputable physicians, and
not allow them to fill more than one
prescription a day for any one Gus
| toner and require Sc parate prescrip-
| tion for each sale. Make them file
prescriptions to be open for official
inspection. Make them keep record.
At this time a saloon keeper pays
$275 a year license, while a druggist
pays s25 year and is allowed to do
the same things that the saloon keep
er does. Is this right?
I have heard that in Indianapolis
and some other Indiana cities. some
| drug stores sell beer and serve
lunches, also, back of their so-called
prescription cases. When the blind

attempt to battle with disease with
out knowing it's cause would be folly
in the extreme in doctor Why not
in a preacher?
Then too. though theological ques-
tions may be of the EXTREMIST import
ance it is doubtful whether pure theol-
ogy has done much for the uplift of
the human race. Jesus Christ was
not a theologian-he was a physician
to sick souls. Christ was the Perfect
Man-and being perfect could conquer
and help the imperfections in others.
Christianity has it's roots not in tri-
fes of ceremony nor yet of hair split
ting differences about creeds. Nor
has true Christianity much concern
about the technicalities OF abstruse
subjects This is not saying that sci
ence should be excluded far from 1t.
The more he knows the more he will
be able to help his fellow man. but
above all things he must be able to
deal with men. He must know the
normal man.
The practical preacher is one who
must deal with the tenements. with
the liquor question, with social evils,
with the question of divorce, with ev-
cry phase in which modern life is
making it hard for the soul OF man to
withstand temptation.
The saloon, poverty, sweatshop and
child labor, all these he must know,
and with them the music hall, brothel
and he must see clearly the evil which
causes them and which they cause.
He must know men. A movement
to make preachers thoroughly conver-
SAINT with men and the temptations of
men is worth more to this country
than any other that has been ad-
vanced in educational lines for years.
There are plenty Of practical
preachers, but most OF them have had
to work out all their problems for
themselves. These physicians Of the
soul are wonderful men and it is only
occasionally that we stop to consider
that they have less real special train
ing for their calling than any other
class. When every man Is brought
face to face with conditions-as the
physician in his medical school-there
will yet be experience for him to gain.
But he will gain his experience with
understanding.

tiger law was uD before the last leg
islature the saloon keepers were per-
fectly satisfied with its provisions,
for it protected them from their COM
petitor, the drug store. for the origin
al law prohibited drug stores from
selling liquor in any quantity except
on prescription.
But the druggists urged that it
would ruin their business, (self con-
fession on their part as 10 what their
business was). and by lobbying they
succe eded In amending it, allowing
them to sell a Quart to any one that
signed an application. No prescrtp-
tion is needed on quart sales.
Even person under twenty-one
can buy a quart on application and
the seller can not be punished. A
booze-selling drug store is worse than
a saloon, for it is sneaking in what it
does, while the saloon is open and
above board. | can safely say that
believe one-third of the drug stores
in Indiana are mere barroons. If

Ohio. The question arises, how can
We stop this saloon drug store busi-
ness? In answer let our legislature
pass a law covering these points:
l. Require a prescription for any
quantity of liquor.
2. Require a license of $3.50 year
from druggists in wet territory that
desire to sell without a prescription.
3. Require prescriptions in dry
territory.
4. Strengthen our pharmacy law so
every one can not go into the busi-
ness.
5. Increase fees for examination
and renewal of certificates and give
the board the right to appoint one
inspector in each congressional dis
trict of Indiana. to inspect pharma-
cies.
6. Give the board of pharmacy the
power to enforce the law, so that it
can weed out the saloon drug store.
BY this way only can the reputable
drug store exist and the saloon drug
stores be weeded out.

Continued From Friday.)
Philip. too, sprang up.
"It is lie! he shouted. How dare
you say such thing when have told
you that 1t is mine!'
The policeman collared him by the
shoulder.
STEADY, my young spark" he said.
"Mr. Isaacstein knows what he is
about, and don't suppose he is very
far wrong this time. Do you know
the boy, sir?" he went on.
Isaacstein gave a voluble and accu-
rate summary Of Philips statements.
Each moment the policeman's grip be-
came firmer. Evidently the boy was
though 1t was beyond comprehension
that any one short Of an idiot should
choose an emissary with broken boots
and ragged clothing In order to effect
deal with the. leading house in Hat
ton Garden.
Philip listened to the recital in dumb
agony. His face was deathly pale, and
his eyes glowed with the rage and
shame that filled bis soul. So the man
had been playing with him, merely
fooling him until some secret signal by
an electric bell had sent messenger
flying for the police. His dream Of
wealth would end in the jail, his fairy
oasis would be a felon's cell. Very
well, be it so. If he could help it, not
all> the polio emen in London should
rend his secret from him. With a sud-
den. glow Of fiery satisfaction he re-
membered that his clothing contained
no clew to his address. and he had not
given his name at either Ludgate Hill
or Hatton Garden. How long could
they keep him a prisoner? Would
others find his meteor and rob him of
his mothers gift? In less than fort
the buildings in Johnson's News. Well,
it mattered not. The courage of de-
spair which nerved him the previous
night came to his aid again. He would
defy them all, careless Of consequence.
The policeman was saying:
Its a queer affair, sir. Did he real
" say he had lots more Of 'em?"
Eyes, yes! Do you think I am ro-
mancing? Perhaps they are in his pos
session now"
Have you any more of these stones.
boy?"
Philip, with lips tensely set, was des-
perately cool again. He moved his
arm. and the constable's grasp tight
ened
"You are hurting me-" said the boy.
''I merely wish to put my hand in my
pocket Are you afraid Of me that you
hold me so fast?''
The policeman. like the rest. did not
fail to notice Philips diction. The
scornful superiority Of his words, the
challenge of the final question, took
him aback. He relaxed his grip and
grinned eonfusedly.
Philip instantly produced his paper
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1908-09-20

of diamonds ana opened IL widely so
that all the stones could be seen. He
handed the parcel to the policeman.
"Take good care Of them, constable" b"
he said. Judging from results. they
would not be safe in that mans
hands"
But Isaacstein did not hear the in
suit. When he saw the collection he
nearly lost his senses. What had he
done? Was he or the boy mad? Veins
stood out on his forehead, and he wah-
bled so fearfully that he clutched the
desk for support. A scarecrow of a
boy wandering about London with
thousands CT pounds worth of dia-
monds in his pocket wrapped up In a
piece of newspaper like SO many
sweets! There were not any meteofic
diamonds of such value in all the mu-
seums and private collections in the
world. He began to perspire. Even
the policeman was astounded, quite as
much at being called constable by
Philip as by the mean appearance Of
articles presumably Of great value.
"This Is a rum go. What do you
make of it, Mr.. Isaacsteiny he said.
fhe query restored Isaacsteins wits.
After all, here was the law speaking.
1t would have been the widest folly
for a man Of his position to dabble in
this mysterious transaction.
With a great effort he forced himself
to speak.
Lock him up instantly. This matter
must be fully inquired into. And do
be careful Of that parcel, constable.
Where do you take him? To the Bride
we'll station? I will follow you in a
cab in five minutes"
So Philip, handcuffed, was marched
down the stairs past the gratifled office
boy and out into the street
AS for Isaacstein, he required bran
dy, and not a little, before he felt able
TO follow.
