HAS NO RECORD OF DIVORCE
Proud Boast of Woman Pastor Who Has United a Large Number of
 Loving Couples.

Is the woman parson panacea for the divorce evil? Rev. Anna Shaw thinks she is and bases her conclu- sions on 30 years experience in marrying couples, not one of whom have sought to have their matri- monial bonds set aside.
 On Cape Cod, where the we'll known suffrage orator began life as a Methodist minister, she was ex- tremely popular with young couples.
 'It used to be quite the fashion for couples to come from nearby settlements to be married by the woman parson," said Miss Shaw, 'and it is a matter of great delight to me that these marriages have turned out so well.
 'I attribute the large number of successful marriages which have fallen to my share as a minister to the fact that any man who is broad minded enough to be married by a woman minister thinks sufficiently we'll of our sex to make a good hus- band, one who will have respect for his wife and consider her entitled to an equal share in the government of the household"

!. CLEOPATRA AND RATS.

Now it comes out that the women who persist in wearing rats in their hair have defender in no less a per sonage than Professor Max Muller, who goes way back to find a defense for the fashion. Professor Muller" The Kansas City Journal says, comes forward with learned historical re- search to prove that Cleopatra wore rats of immense size, dclaring that history. shows that the queen of the Nile bought many pounds of hair in the marts of Alexandria. eking out her own. luxuriant dresses with the entire natural stocks of three women Pro- lessor Muller further contends that the Egyptian siren was one of the original peroxide blondes. but she va ried the style by having her own hair bleached to conform to the color of the days hirsute marketing. As it was common practice for Egyptian beauties to peroxide their hair, the prevailing color Is apparent.
 For centuries Cleopatra has been held up as a paragon of pulchritude, and certainly she is a formidable ex- ample and excuse to be invoked by modern devotees at the shrine of beauty. What can hard -hearted superintendent or an obdurate floor walker offer in extenuation of his edict against rats, when the naughty lady behind the counter points to the greatest beauty expert of history giv- ing rats a prominent place on her dressing table?"
 Now will those who have been rail ing at the rodent-wearing habit be good and quit? It is quite true that We have not been in the habit of re- garding Cleopatra as a fit model for our women to follow or copy after. She had some failings to put it mild ly. of a sort that a good American girl should not initiate. but if It is shown. as Professor Muller claims, that she rather hankered after rats in her hair we guess that settles 1t.

No Politics in It.

DeKalb Record.
 The amenders have shouted from tv- cry house top, there is no politics. 1t Is a great moral Issue" The fraud and hypocrisy of this shibboleth is be- coming every day more apparent and the people are turning away from the Conner -Weakley-Lawrence triumvirare.
 Recently Governor Conner has shown his hand in DeKalb County. The re- cent Legislature enacted a new jury law. and we can begin to see some or it's effects. The new law provides for a jury board consisting of three mem bers for each county, this board or commission draws the juries These commissioners are appointed by the Governor.
 Recently the three gentlemen who are to constitute this board have been appointed for DeKalb County. One Uf them resides at Fort Payne. one at Collinsville and one on Sand Mountain In the lower end of the county All are ardent supporters of the amend ment. This looks like politics to a man up a tree. The men are good cit izens but no better than many men who are opposing the amendment.
 Why did the Governor appoint only those who favor the amendment? We answer, politics. The law was q part of Comer's scheme to hold on to Ala bama. We did not need this law, and 1t was passed to place more power Tn the hands of the Governor and 70 help hlm build up a pOllllcAi uldCHlHS. l ne old law was satisfactory to our people. Under it we had good juries. They were selected by our commissioners and the commissioners were elected by the people. Each commissioner knew the pople in his district, and consequently knew who would make good jurors.
 Who is to represent the people of De- Kalb County from Fort Payne north in the drawing of the juries. Are these jury commissioners as we'll acquainted with the people in the north end of the county as County Commissioner Joe Rice7
 Are the three men selected any het- ter men than those composing the Court of County Commissioners? Are they any more representative of the peoplel More than 90 per cent. Of our people are farmers. Two of the three men appointed are merchants. They can not and do not know the people Of the county as do our County Commission CTS, who are elected by the people and are responsible to the people. The members of this jury commission are responsible to no one but Comer. Bul they are for the amendment, and nc one else had a ghost of show. Hine Conner Is In the saddle, but ne IS riding to his fall
 | The next Legislature will doubtless repeal this unrepresentative jury law

Cotton,x Uwe..


 How many people have thought of the many uses to which cotton is put. The staple Is the principal pro- duct of the lands of this section. and for many years the people have de- pended upon 1t mainly. although they are learning better.
 The Nashville Banner has taken from business circular a few figures illustrating the wide uses of cotton be- sides for clothing and house linen. Railroads and trolley lines require quarter of a million bales year, 1t Is said, for brake hose.- furnishings of cars and other purposes. Automobiles are credited with 100000 bales year for tires and fittings. These are sur prising estimates. But there are others equally interesting. The navies of the world need more cotton than when all the ships were driven by sails. liar vesting machinery and other farming implements have to have 52.0OD,OOO yards every wear. Tobacco grown un- der cotton has created another great demand for the staple electric wires are insulatedN with cotton tape, hour bags. tarpaulins. tents for private ana military use, all require cotton from many farms. Some of the other items are given as follows:
 About 15.000,O00 yards of cotton duck annually are made into coal bags I
 for delivering coal.
 several million yards annually are used in making cloth signs. Pottery establishments use millions of yards of army duck for the purpose of squeezing water out of clay.
 The government requires 4.0O0.OOO yards of cotton duck annually for coin bags.
 Cement companies use about 5000 900 yards of cotton bagging annually. About 100000 wards of cotton duck annually are made into feed bags TOT horses.
 Cotton duck is the basis of rubber belting and all kinds of rubber hose. Sales to these braenes of the trade l amount to 5O,000.0Oo yards annually. The Banner cannot vouch Tor these estimates, but 1t is evident that the de- 1 mand for cotton will grow faster ] than population needing shirts. unaer- wear dress goods and wool" clothes. Nor is theer any visible limit to the possibilities of the cotton clothing branches Of the billion and haif people of the world, only very small minority are properly clad. The ad- vanme O. civilization and comfort can be measured in cotton cloth more ac- euratel ythan in almost any other com l modity.
