SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.
A 1ovement Afoot to MemorlaIize
Heroic Women of Confederacy.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
From the standpoint of "chivalry"
it is somewhat of a reproach to the
n,en OF the North that while the aid
TIE women of that section gave to
the cause Of the Union is as yet with
out public memorial, the men OF the
South are raising funds for q mOnu-
ment commemorating the services
and sacrifices of the women OF the
South to the cause of the Confeder-
acy.
In South Carolina the men have
subscribed $4,000 for the monu-
ment, and the Legislature has given
State aid. No woman is allowed to
contribute to the South Carolina col
lection. In other States, however,
the line has heretofore not been SO
strictly drawn, but in the future the
South Carolina example is likely to
have the force Of law.
Presumably, the monument will be
erected at Richmond, which is still
sentimentally the capital of the
Southern Confederacy In Rich

1.-The Confederate white house." are
already many visible evidences of the
loyalty of the women of the South to
the Confederacy while it was battling
for life, and the sympathy their
daughters and granddaughter feel
for "the lost cause"
The exhibition of devices to which
the Confederate women were driven
when all the "men folks were at the
front and the blockade was drawing
it's coils tighter, is pathetic in it's
illustration of the efforts to make
necessities satisfy tastes formed on
luxuries.
The Confederate cloth, hand woven
and dyed with such EXTRACTS" as
could be substituted for chemicals;
rough dresses bearing impoverished
fnery, either OF deftly fashioned rem
nants or of coarse substitutes on
which refinement had lavished inge-
nuity-all these things bespeak a
state OF seige, with the women of the
beseiged doing their utmost to help
the defenders and setting brave faces
toward the encircling foe.

Monroe Enquirer.
The cotton picking machine which
was tested last Tuesday at BENEFITS
vile, S. c., may mean as much to the
cotton growers as Fulton's steam
boat making it's way up the Hudson
meant to the navigator. Can a ma
chine be made that will successfully
pick cotton? We are afraid to say no
They said, and not many years ago,
that no machine would ever be in
vented that would successfully set
type. but the type setting machine
has been in successful operation for a
number of years. They will pick cot
ton by machinery, too, and in a few
years the man in the cotton field with
just his fingers to do the picking will
be as far behind the times as is the
man with a reaphook by the side of
the man driving the selfbinder in the
grain field. A successful cotton pick
ing machine is not as much of a dream
in this day of invention as was the
selfbinding reaper to our fathers as
they welded the reaphook.

would not hesitate to make oath to
a false affidavit. So far DR.. Cook s

this particular explorer is a fake.

routes than Kentucky. Arkansas
has 500 routes and 81 petitions pend
ing; Florida has 1873 routes and "a
petitions; Louisiana has 154 routes
and as petitions. OF all the south
ern states Florida is the only one in
the list showing a smaller number
of petitions pending than does Ken
lucky.
Until about four years ago, the
post-office department records show
Tennessee led all the states of the
south in rural delivery. The people
of Tennessee, according to officials
of the department, were about the
first in the south to realize the great
advantage of the service and petit
toned faster than any of the other
states. Texas woke up to the bene-
fits of rural deliFerUa, little later on
and naturally, by reason of its en-
ormous size. has been able to forge
its way to first place in the number
OF routes. That IL has been active IN
the effort to take advantage of a
good thing is evidenced by the fact
that LIPS petitions from Texas have
been reported upon adversely.
The compilation. which is official
and was made on September I, shows
beyond a doubt that kentucky is not
getting all she is entitled to from the
rural free delivery service and that
there is no active movement toward
securing new routes. Evidently Ia
some parts of the state the people
are not fully awake TO the national
blessing that is being enjoyed by the
residents of those favored localities
where rural delivery flourishes.
There is no good reason why states
like Tennessee and Georgia should
have more than twice the number OF
routes that Kentucky has; or why
North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama.
South Carolina and Mississippi
should lead Kentucky.
Kentuckians are not usually so
slow in taking cognizance of a good
institution and it is high time that
a very considerable number of them
were getting better acquainted with
the rural delivery system.-Courier-
Journal.

How custom blunts our logic. The
case of Police Inspector Edward Nc
Cam. of Chicago, is a case In point
His defense to graft charges was that
denizens of the vice district, over
which he presided. wished to get rid
of him because he was strict. Set
Element workers. because he protect
ed them and aided them IN their ef-
forts. sincerely believed he was a
much abused man.
All night saloons. bawdy houses
gambling and lewd dances are pro-
hibited by the statutes of Illinois
and the ordinances of Chicago. just
as surely as are burglary and arson
1t is unlawful to engage in such
vices. yet here comes man. WHO
is STRICT IN THE REGULATION
OF THEM, and actually has the au-
daclty to defend himself before de-
cent people on that ground. There
Is no evidence that Inspector Nc
Cam ever attempted to enforce the
law, prohibiting those evil practices
He only was strict, which means he
insisted on some degree of privacy in
their lewd performances.
As long as, Mccain permitted vice
to flourish, the creatures under him
could have no objection to his pulling
down the shades The only possible
hardship they could object to would
be extortion. Mccain, even If limo
cent of graft, found himself, where
every man finds himself, who does
not hew to the line of duty. II he
had started a crusade OF extermina-
ton against resorts, and the keepers
had charged him with accepting
brides, the world would have laugh
ed at their accusations: but since he
knowingly permitted unlawful things
to exist under his authority. he must
take the consequences of the condi-
lions for which he is responsible
He might as well claim to be strict
with burglary and arson, crimes in
volvmg less moral turpitude. as to
lay claim TO the virtue of being
strict with the traffic in human flesh
HIS defenders may argue that the
city administration and his superiors
wink at vice, and he would lose his
place II he enforced the law. That
doesn't excuse Mccain. When an
honest man finds he cannot do HIS
duty and retain his self-respect in
his employment, he quits that en-
ployment. IL man chooses to
abide by the custom, and custom
compromises him, as 1t did Mccain
he must also abide by its conse-
quences.
The attitude Of the settlement

Mccain treated them well, protected
them, and aided them in their efforts
to reach the individuals. Mccain
was their friend. They know the
good side of him, and no amount OIL
proof will ever convince mans
friends that there is any other side
to him. That is as 1t should be; but
II doesn't alter facts.

"OPENING.DAYS"
FOR THE MEN NOW
THE SEN APPROPRIATES ONE OF
WOMAN'S JOYS IN SHOPPING.
They Must Have Their style Exhibi-
tions of IAN the New Gre
ations," Too.
AND THEY ENJOY IT :?

DO the men of your family shop"
when buying their clothes?
If they don't, they are missing one
of the Joys of life that for long
time has been INDUCED in by the
ladies only.
The time was, and not so far back
either, that the man seeking a suit
of clothes, dropped into the cloth
ier's and took what was shown him,
whether it was what he wanted or
not, and ridiculed the idea the ladies
had of first seeing what every one
offered, and then making a selection.
They did not have the time, nor did
the clothers have the patience or
good disposition to permit them TO
do it.
But now things are different.
Your average man visits all Of the
stores, Just like his wife. or mother
does, and, after inspecting all The
new styles-he does not take out his
little scissors and whip of a sample.
however-goes back to the store tina,
has what approxlmates his clothing
ideals, and makes his purchase. As
a result, you see better dressed men
than you used to. better satisfied
men.
All this Is due to the enterprise OF
the merchants. A week is set aside
each season when the men are IL
vited to drop in Just to see the offer
ings. They are not asked to buy
not expected to, but they are cour-
teously and generously shown all the
styles. and every fabric, and are
urged to make a close inspection Of
every detail of the. garment-just
like the ladies do on Opening
Days" And the men enjoy il. They
realize the value of IL. and make il
profitable to themselves.
In Paducah, Roy l.. Culley and
company were the pioneers in this
movement. When the store first
opened. only a few years ago. this
was the first feature IL announced OF
the stores policy. and II has made Il
the big feature of every season. Pa
ducah men. young and old, have ap-
preciated il. and look forward 10.
and wait for IL each season. The
store has won recognition as Styles
Authorities, and many men simply
request them to make a selection for
them, drop in for a fitting, and take
the clothes home. 80 highly do they
esteem their Judgment.
Next week has been set aside for
this seasons exhibition of clothing.
and you ladies who doubt that the
men are appropriating one OF the
best things in your methods in shop
ping will be surprised TO see the
great number OF men who take adj
vantage Of IL.
Messrs. Culley and company al
ways impress 1t upon their friends.
that every one is cordially invited to
the store that week, to see and try
on any suit or oyercoat that strikes
their fancy, and to also impress on
them that they are not expected TO
make purchase that IL is a pleas
ure for them to show their offerings
at any time.
This formal invitation will be
found on page six.

counties are dropped from the Plant
ers' Protective association, because no
tobacco was pledged this year in that
section. In those counties year ago
threatening letters we're written 10
men, who refused to pledge, and in
Caldwell, Lyon and Crittenden, men
were assaulted and thousands of dol
lars worth Of property burned because
some obdurate spirits wouldn't see
the advantage of pledging their to-
bacco. Where are the men, who did
the burning and whipping? Have
they left those sections, or are they
refusing this year to do that, which
they tried to whip other men into
doing last year?
