Wireless Telephone.

The Charleston Evening Post says
II gives one a queer sensation to
pick up a telephone receiver, with
out any wire attachment, and hear
a man in another room talk through
two walls, but the sensation can be
experienced now at, the Argyle Ho-
tel. where Mr. w. G. Simpson, rep
resenting the Collins Wireless Tel
ephone Company, has an instrument
demonstrating the wonders OF wire
less telephone. -
The Collins outfit has been tested
for efficiency as far as 500 miles,
Mr.. Simpson stated, and he showed
clipping from The Jacksonville
Times-Union telling of test of his
telephone across the St. John river
The distance depends unon the bat
terry power of the transmitter. The
one at the Argyle Hotel will allo"
conversation as far as forty or hfty
feet from the room where his send
er is located through the walls oi
ttls room.
1t is somewhat Of spooky feel
ing to use the instrument for the tirs'
time. A, reporter for The Evening
Post was, given a demonstration ol
the wireless telephone, and Mr.. Simp
SON will be glad to give visitors al
opportunity of using the wireless
telephone at any time this week
He has only a transmitter and g re
ceiver with him, so that one can no
talk back to him.
Mr.. Simpson shuts himself up II
his room with his transmitter, clos
Ing the door and transom. He gives
a visitor what looks like a large
hoop, upon which is a small box
with a receiver attached. The re
ceiyer of the instrument is takel
to a room opposite his, the door ane
transom Of which are also tightly
closed. He talks to his hearer II
the next room clearly and readily
his voice sounding in the receiver
held by the person to whom h'
talks.

NsrTiman and Johnson.

Two men Of national fame have
lust died. One devoted his life To
the accumulation Of wealth, the other
to the service of his fellow men. AT
the bedside of one the nation watch
id with anxiety and also with admira-
ton for the brave struggle he made
for life. At the bedside of the other
the nation watched with equal ankle
ty and admiration, and also with an
affection that was lacking with the
first.
The reason for this difference is
obvious to all. That Hartman in
some ways benefited his fellow men
all will admit, but his prime purpose
was to serve himself. Governor
Johnson consecrated his life to his
fellows. How fully that was recog-
nized is seen in the three-fold cleo
tlon to the highest office In a State
In which the majority of the people
belonged to party opposed to the
one in which he was the most dis
linguished leader.
Governor Johnson belonged TO that
sturdy, virile. Scandinavian stock
whose industry. pluck. intelligence,
perseverance, and sterling moral quail
tiles have done so much to build up
this country along material and NOR
al lines. In the indomitable super
ority to circumstances he constantly
showed. and in his robust character
and marked ability he was conspc-
uous example of the racial truth We
have stated.
The country is the poorer by rea-
son of his death and all parties and
all classes recognize the good he has
done. revere his memory and sincere
ly sympathize with his family.

Moro Raggtng on Cotton.

The process of reasoning which Is
leading so many thousand Southern
farmers to reduce the bagging and
ties on their cotton below the aver
age s per cent allowance Is hard
to follow. Manufacturers and ex-
porters In buying cotton figure on
s per cent for tare. This amounts
to 80 pounds on 500-pound bale,
or Is pounds on q 450-pound bale.
When the bsgglng and ties amount
to less than this. the farmer is simp
~ cheating himself. The Progressive
Farmer in pointing out the unreason-
ableness OF farmers following this
course, says:
"Again we would urge our cotton
growers to put on bagging and ties
to the full per cent limit this
season. If you put on less than
s per cent, it is simply matter of
giving the cotton buyer good cotton
worth II 1-2 cents pound, when
he is paying you only for bagging
and ties averaging about 3-12 cents
pound. This is matter our farm
ers have been entirely too slow 20
understand"
For years there has been COM
plaint of insufficient covering on cot
ton. To remedy this defect, export
ers have adopted the plan Of adding
secondhand bagging to the amount
Of 8 or 10 pounds and pocketing
the extra profit. The farmer has
put In that much weight in lint cot
ton worth II 1-2 cents pound. The
exporter adds extra bagging and ties
worth 3 1-2 cents a pound, and
makes 81 bale.
The Progressive Farmer has made
q valuable point which should not
be lost sight Of. 1t will not take
very sharp pencil to figure out that
470 pounds of cotton and 80 pounds
Of bagging will bring higher returns
than $50 pounds Of lint cotton and
| 20 pounds Of bagging. Moreover,
by this course greater protection to
the staple Is afforded and 1t arrives
at its destination-particularly If 1t
be a remote foreign port-in much
better shape. The result is a pleased
customer and more general satisfac-
ton all around.
When a grocer sells ascent cof--
fee he does not mix in some Of his
Accent grade; nor when he Is buy
ing a barrel Of -four from the manu-
facturer does he expect to get the
weight of the barrel in a finer grade
Of flour. Yet that is what numbers
of Southern farmers are doing every
season. Let the gross weight of cot
| ton bales include the maximum of
bagging and ties and not the mini
mum amount that will hold 1t to-
gether. It is possibly small point,
but it is worth observing, for a diff
ference OF 80 cents or 81 a bale on
the cotton crop is not small item.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength; /;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles OF the men stand out like

AZ matter of fact we have ath:

fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 2
It's matter Of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, NO
husks or stems or black specks. Farm.

plants and spending 100000 and one
new factory is being built that will

ment to two hundred men.
The brick factory. which has been
idle for years, has been reopened and
is giving employment to sixty-five
men.
One hundred thousand dollars is
being spent on new streets and more
building is being done this year than
