 When cotton sells low. every indus. try-every man, woman, and child-in the South pays the penalty.
 Shall we take no steps to put a stop to this downward trend of cotton that is knife into the vitals of Southern industry?
 We are helpless" the minimizing farmer and business man may retort We are not helpless, unless we fail to apply the immutable laws of cause and effect to this problem. as to every oth- CT problem they rule in the universe; and having located the cause. remove it, along with the effect that otherwise must threaten every line of Southern business.
 If 1t be true as Richard H. Ed munds charges. that we have of our own accord, perhaps in the heat of prejudice. perhaps in the overzeal of righteousness, penalized the capital that is needed in each individual line of business, the remedy is clear as day.
 It, lies in a return to the principles. the equity the sanity. the conservatism, the unbigoted justice that prevailed before, and that made the South the eagerly sought Mecca of the capital of the world.
 How is that to be accomplished?
 There is but one way. By putting the world on notice-in a manner that Is emphatic, that needs no elucidation, that is beyond quibble or peradVenture that the South is a safe and profit able field for the investment of capital; that we have done with hysteria and injustice and destructive agitation; that we have turned our faces to the light absolutely. resolutely, beyond the haz- ard of a return to folly.

 This is the Missouri Number" and is of interest in Alabama as one of the principal articles is upon the Lewis Family Record" This pioneer Virginia family has many representatives among the D. A. R. of Alabama.
 The article concludes with a sketch of Meriwether Lewis. the leader of famous Lewis-Clark expedition to the Northwest.
 It is to be regretted that Mrs. White, the Historian of the Kansas City Chap ter, records the manner of his death as suicide, which fact has never been established.
 Miss Minor, in her "Meriwethers." " says: He died in Tennessee In 1909, at the age of 35. It was at first thought by many that he had commit ted suicide, but investigations since then decided that he was assassinated by his French servant, who had stolen his horses and money and disappeared. and never more heard of again. His mother. from the first. believed he was murdered by the servant"
 From an article in The Philadelphia Press of February. 1902. is this ref erence to his death: "A shadow of melancholy is cast over the memory of the Lewis and Clark exploit by the tragic and untimely end of the leader of 1t. While on his way from St. Louis to Philadelphia in 1909, to arrange for the publication of his narrative of the expedition, he met his death myste- riously by violence in a lonely cabin at night on the top of Chickasaw Mountains. near the present site of Memphis, Tenn. All the surroundings of the tragedy pointed to suicide, but that fact was never established. The State of Tennessee has since erected a monument on the site to his memory"

 MT. Bowser felt the hit and cOlored up, but hung on to himself and pres ently said:
 My ambition may have resulted in a few trifllng mistakes that can pass over. l am willing to be called cratic, but don't wish to be known as vision ary. You may possibly have read of the Wrights' aeroplane or flying ma chne?"
 Yes. possibly"
 And in your opinion what does it amount to-"
 Well, it flies. It flies and then gets out of order. Then 1t flies and gets out of order some more"
 But 1t solves the problem of flying"
 'Oh, that was to be expected Yes, | the aeroplane has shown that man can rise In the air and sail around when conditions are just right. It is predict ed that such machines will play part in the next war, and if the wind will only keep quiet during the next war they may do so. 4 sailing ship has good grip on the water, and yet when the wind Is blowing sideways she drifts off more or less. An aeroplane has no grip whatever on the air. A side wind must blow her far out of her 1 course. To carry three or four passen- gers or missiles of war she must be built so large that no machinery could drive her against breeze. In travers- ing distance of fifty miles she may meet with dozen different air cur rents, all blowing at different veloci- ty and all whirling her in a different direction. As a fad 1t will have a place in history"

 Bless you, Mrs. Bowser-bless you" exclaimed MT. Bowser as he advanced and shook hands with her You have reasoned the matter out just as have. and let me compliment you. You are the smartest woman in the United States. By John but you have hit it square on the head
 Then you have come to the same conclusions"
 Just the same, and you don't know how encouraged I feel to find you agreeing with me. If you only agree with what I have planned out fame and fortune are within our grasp"
 Well, what have you planned:"
 Mrs. Bowser, birds fly in all sorts of weather. don't they?''
 "Yes, unless 1t be that hurricane is blowing"
 "Of course. The bigger the bird the stronger he can fly. eh:"
 Naturally"
 But this ostrich-why cant he hy:'
 Because nature didn't give him wings strong enough. He simply uses them 10 assist him fin running"
 Hut suppose the ostrich could fly? Suppose be could fly from New York tc Chicago without a rest? Suppose he could be taught to obey like dog- like human being"'
 "1n such a case man could makt valuable use of him ss messenger"
 There you have it-there you have it.r' shouted MT. Bowser as he danced around in his excitement and frighten. ed the cat out of the room on a gallon There is the Solution of the flying problem. asd not soul in this whole world has thought it out except me. That's what I have been puzzling over for the last four weeks That's what's been ailing me instead of lumbago.
