COTTON RISE PREDICTED
Head of Growers Association Says
 Crop VIII Be small

Atlanta Ga, Nov. S,--Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Growers association in emphasizing his belief that the price of cotton will rise speedily, tonight said;
 "The national election is past and millions of dollars of orders for man ufactured goods have been placed in the past few weeks Raw cotton will feel the impetus given to other lines of industry While the gnners report indicates larger amount of cotton ginned to date than at any previous period in the history of sthe census bureau, the ginners for November and the succeeding months of the year will indicate a heavy falling off. The total yield of this year will in my opinion fall far short of the two big crop years of 1904 and 1906"

CURIOUS HOTEL CUSTOMS.
Where Every Cuss Word Costs a
 Penny.

A curious custom prevails at an Edinburgh hotel. Whenever a GUS toner is heard to swear he is required to place penny in box on the bar counter. It is not matter for surprise that the landlord hears much less bad language than some of his fellow-pub- licans in the capital of Scotland.
 The following is quaint idea for providing funds for picnics and social evenings. It is carried on with much success at an Ashton-o -on-Mersey inn. A knocking club" is connected with the inn, and when customer calls for refreshments he is expected to knock on the table or counter before drink ing. If he fails to do this he is fined one penny. Any one who wrongfully accuses another of breaking this unique rule is also fined. The money thus obtained provides funds for many enjoyable outings and pleasant even- ings during the course of the year.
 At another hotel, known as the Old Hundred, customers are allowed only one drink. If one is not sufficient to ouench their thirst they are obliged to 20 out of the hotel and take walk before they are allowed to have an other.
 Till recently the proprietor Of an old time hotel in Warwickshire used to invite all his customers to accompany him and his wife to the service at the parish church on Sunday mornings, which was situated on the opposite side of the road, the house being closed while they were away. On re- turning each customer was invited to partake of refreshments offered by the hospitable landlord free of charge.
 Visitors in a certain hotel in Aber- deenshire who wear brown boots must remember to keep them in their room over night, otherwise the boots will he blacked, regardless of the original c ,lor of the same. In one of the rooms of a Dumfries public house is an old armchair. which is said to have been freouently used by the poet Burns. All who sit in this chair are expected to treat every one who is in the room at the time. and often the immortal mem orv of the famous Scottish national poet is drunk.
