A vel, known physician was telling
a friend Of the humorous phases Of

reminded Of the sad case OF a patient
who came to him suffering from hay

clan, that in hay fever there is no
absolutely infallible treatment. Send

As a rule advise the one afflicted to
take a sea trip. In this connection I
once encountered a great surprise. A
large, fine looking fellow came to me
one day suffering from hay fever in
its most aggravated form. | made
the usual suggestion that he take q

Whence "Coroner''?

Apropos OF, the origin OF phrases,
one is reminded that, contrary TO
popular belief, the word roner ia
neither derived from the latiI cor
ona," nor does ii mean "a kings Of
ficer. 1t literally signifies a cor
pse inspector,' and comes to us from
the old English "corph conner" an
officer whose business il Was to make
niniSclt thoroughly acquainted With
the manner in which PERSONS came
by their deaths. Part OF the same
word appears in ale conners'A-pcr-

SOME GOOD REASONS.
WHY THE COTTON ACREAGE
SHOULD BE REDUCED.
A Big Crop This Year Means Five

A Big Crop This Year Means Five
Gent Cotton ana Hard Times For
the South.
The following circular letter has
been sent out by Mr.. j. A. Taylor.
president of the National Ginner'S
association:
Cotton has reached the lOwcst,point
since IAN. l., 1908, except from No
Vember to May Of the big crop ycor
of 10000, when it sold two cents
per pound lower than this. What has
caused this decline of three cents
per Mound in spite of the fact that
the cotton GRO Of the world is about
A,500,00 short Of last years crop?
The only answer that | can find is
Lack Of Confidence The retailer
is not buying except as he " Ads the
goods, the iobbcr is doing tn csanle,
consequently the mills have no orders
ahead. while last year, and 70 sew
eral years past, they have hau o.
ders booked from three to six months
i'll advance.
What causes this lack OF conf
dencc? They are afraid We will raise
a bumper crop Of cotton again this
year. Why are they afraid OF a large
crop? They look at the past. II
1903 we had a short crop and good
prices, which was followed by ii large
acreage and good seasons and a bum
per crop. The next year, 100000,
we had a short crop and good prices.
which was again followed by a large
acreage and a bumper crop.
Had il not beer for the September
storm in tho Mississippi valley and
the exceptionally good trade the mar
ket would probably have gone to
eight cents or under for The crop. We
got a good average price for the good
grades in the crop, and Il large acre
& was set aside. for cotton last sea
son. but owing to tn cweather dur
ing planting time the acreage was cut
some and crop poo in Texas and
Louisiana enabled up to get a good
price for The most OF this crop.
A month ago every indication was
that we would have a large acreage
this season. and the people did not
ton goods, knowing that with a large
acreage and fair season we would
produce more cotton thar the world
needed and the price OF cotton goods

The result will he that you will
