Let the South Feed the World.

The South's share of "the White
Mans Burden" has certainly been
freely borne. The South has clothed
the civilized world for years with our
cotton. We are supplying the cook
ing world largely to-day with lard"
and the more delicate oils. Thou
sands Of tons Of cotton meal are
shipped to Germany, Denmark, Eng
land and other foreign countries
where it is used both for human food
and stock feed.
These great necessities all come
from the South's cotton crop. The
cotton plant now seeks the privilege
Of feeding as well as clothing the
world"
Cotton is the heritage Of the South.
We are fast learning its true value.
It's meal and oil products are wonder
full, rich resources. Their values are
now for the first time appreciated
at their true worth. Cotton oil to-
day controls the price of all other
worlds cooking fats, and this domi-
nant position will grow stronger as
the merits OF this odorless, refined
and pure vegetable fat is more wide
ly known.

his neck was broken by fall, which
he evidently had while crawling
around in the house hunting a place

Of his broken neck. He was seen
