A Letter of Happiness


This Is such a bright, balmy morning, the
sun shines so beautifully and every thing seems
enchanting and inspiring Indeed the wworld
is filled with the wine Of beauty II we would
but pause and drink It in. But all too many
want to keep on the shady side and find only
the bad. Never once stopping to see or 10
think Of the countless things that are In world
for their pleasure and for their comfort. They
seem to want TO remain on the gloomy side
and hunt for trouble and are always ready to
complain that theirs IS life OF hardships
and drudgery, worse than any other.
am reminded OF little poem I recently
read which ran thus:
ct once knew a woman named Mary Ann
And this woman was always looking for
trouble;
She was looking all day. from the time she
To tho candielight hour, when she sat down
to sup.
She wodld look all around her, and search high
Just looking for trouble where'er she would
And you may be sure that this Mary Ann

Had more than her share OF what people call

SOUTHERN BANKERS
FAVOR COTTON BILLS

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. o.-Southern bankers
are taking hopeful view OF the situation
created BY the action Of English bankers IN
demanding that cotton bills Of ladinr sent
with drafts to foreign ports. should be guaran-
teed by American banks The position Of many
banks In the south is at the same time one OF
doubtfulness as to guaranteeing bills of Iading
Many banking institutions yet to be con-
WINGED that they can make such guarantee with
out endangering their assets.
It Is asserted that national banks, under the
law cannot guarantee bills OF lading, and that
state banks will not make such guarantee be-
cause they are unwilling to assume the finan-
cial responsibility thus entailed On the other
hand, bankers OF New Orleans and other south
ern cities say they would not object to vail
dating certificates. but that this would BE- as
far as they would TO go IN insuring buy
ers OF American cotton against loss by possible
fraudulent practices.

BUTTER FAT PRODUCED
BY COTTON SEED MEAL
Pure Food Inspector Methvin
Is Pleased With Results
From Use of This Food

Dairy cows fed with a balanced ration
of cotton seed meal and hulls, are pro-
ducing more than enough butter fat 10
meet the requirements of the pure food
inspector, is attested by the statement
of Pure Food Inspector P. A. Methvln'
who is now engaged in testing the milk
that is being sold throughout the state.
"We find" said Inspector Methvin'
"the dairy cows which are being fed on
cotton seed meal, properly balanced are
producing larger quantities of butter rat
and generally meeting all requirements TO
comply with the state governing the sale
of legal milk
I'VE are now engaged in inspecting the
diaries which sell milk in Atlanta and
there are sol permits In this city alone.
There are a proportionate number in the
other cities in Georgia and we try, each
July and August. to inspect them all.
In order to meet one OF the principal re-
quirements it is necessary for the milk
to show a percentage of O3.25 per cent
of butter fat. This is essential to be rated
as legal milk. Anything below that is
illegal milk and the dairyman is so held.
Dairymen have found that by feeding
balanced ration Of cotton seed meal and
hulls. this percentage, and more, can be
secured and are feeding it generally
throughout the state"
During the summer more than ever the
people are on their guard as to the milk
being used in their homes for it has been
pointed out repeatedly that through milk
fever is often injected into the system.
Inspector Methvin has already secured
the samples of over 100 dairies in Atlanta
and is having the analysis made by the
state chemist. A number of other prom
inent Georgia diaries have already been
inspected and passed upon.
The result of this inspection is being
watched with great interest for 1t is a
subject vital to every one

INCREASE
IN BIB COUNTY RETURNS

Figures from the Bibb county tax d.
gest. received at the state capitol Friday
morning show that the returns in the
county for 1910 were s25, tx. 800, an increase
Of $1,457,S20 over the year OF 1909.
SO now the total increase in Georgia
for the ,1os counties returned up to date
is s2S, 676,SQ6.
At the ive-mill rate OF assessment this
means that the records already in show
that $4,000 in actual money will be add
ed to the amount the state has previously
derived from this source.
The Fulton county returns are not yet
made UP, but 1t believed that they will
show an increase proportionate to II not
greater than that of Bib.

BANK DEPOSITS ARGUE
 PROSPEROUS TIMES
Over a Million Dollar Increase in De- posits For the Year in Local
 Banks Is the Record.

|. The year just closed broke all rec ords for financial prosperity as far as the local banks are concerned. There are more deposits in the four banks of Phoenix today than at any time in the history of the institutions. There is today on deposit in this city $1.152, 600 more than there was year ago. .
 During the year just past both. the Phoenix National and the Valley banks have had to increase substantially their office force. Three new men have been put on at the Phoenix National within a few weeks and the office force of the Valley has been doubled since they got in their new building last March. On the first of January the Valley adopted new system at the tellers' windows. There are three tellers and in order to avoid confusion and facilitate business the alphabet was divided into three parts and let ters showing depositors which window to go to. were posted.
 The increased deposits of the Valley Bank during the year are $630,000. nearly all of which was acquired since going into the new building.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF EAST
 AFRICA.

The British investments in East Africa. outside of the cost of the Uganda railway, have not been heavy. while the revenue has been steadily approaching the expenses. In 1902 the expenditures were f312.0Oo and the revenue fe5.o00: but in 1907 the mon- the income equaled e5S4.0O0-from less than one-third to more than three fourths of the expense.
 The railway is now the outlet for the trade of the eastern portion of the Congo Free State. the German terri tory about Lake Nyanza and Uganda. Steamers run from Khartom to Condo koro on the Nile, and the railway of South Africa is approaching Lake Tan ganyika. When regular and adequate connection has been established be- tween these centers the rapid devel- opment of the country and its com merce can confidently be predicted
 Of East Africa Great Britain holds the best and most promising portion Italian Somaliland. although compris- ing some 100000 square miles and ad- ministered directly by government of- ficials since 1905. is still in wild and undeveloped condition. The soil is poor and the country thinly settled. with a forbidding coast line and not harbor worthy of the name. It is diff ficult to imagine how anything worth while can be made out of such an un- promising district
 German East Africa, with an area of Ss4,0oo square miles. has a longer coast line. but it lacks the fertility and good natural harbors of the British sphere. The best routes to the interior-those of the Uganda railway and the Zam- bezi river-lie either side of the Ger man possessions.

 The chief exports of East Africa are ivory. copra. hides. rubber and grain. together with fair amount of coffee, cocoa, sugar and cotton.

HOW COLD SNAP HIT
 THE FLORIDA GROVES
Some Cheering News Respecting Ari
 zona Orange Shipments

As the days go by the facts be- come more and more plain that the Salt River valley orange growers should laugh at their hard luck this season and give thanks that they have escaped more lightly than any other orange section in the United States. The disaster to California growers can be no longer concealed. and while the Arizona growers have suffered. tbeir losses are nothing in comparison. Florida at the same mo- ment seemed to have partially es- capped, but the cold wave had not then reached the orange growing peninsula It arrived in due time, however, and did its work of devas
 tation. it would appear, almost as thoroughly as it did in California.
 J. II. Fleming. of the Arizona Orange Growers association, who still has orchards and nurseries in Florida. received a letter yesterday that was most disheartening from his Florida viewpoint. but gratifying from his Arizona viewpoint. It re-
 cited that that section had just suf- fered a temperature of 20 degrees or twelve degrees of frost. That is lower than the thermometer went here. and that temperature lowered over the orange groves all night long. not merely for an hour or so. as the low temperatures did here. The let ter stated that all oranges that were not protected by smudges were frozen. He has not heard definitely. but believes his nursery stock was
