IoM RRoWN COMPROMISE.

We believe 1t was one OF Tom
Browns companions at Rugby who
cited the faStthat Tom was always in,

any diaiculty he got'into; but saia'this
discerning associate, When it comes

United States Senator Robert l..

ovation, accepted the nominal

The platform adopted declares
the liquor question has no place
as an issue In a gubernatorial
campaign, but should be settled
by the legislature, and asserts
that the controlling issue in this
campaign is:
Whether Tennessee shall be
turned over to a boss ruled Re-
publican machine in a bargain by

COTTON IS BOOMING
ADVANCE KEEPS UP
OVER So ADDED IN WEEK
ADVICES ARE TRADE VERY BULLISH AND
STILL HIGHER PRICES ARE ON
THE CARDS

Thre dollars a bale was tack
ed on to the price of cotton dur
ing the past week, and with
each decided advance the trade
has become more pronouncedly
bullish. With fifteen cents al
most at hand, many we'll inform
ed people are of the opinion that
only prohibitory level will fur
nish the brakes the bears, it
there any, will need. Weather
was very unfavorable the middle
of the week.
Heavy downpours undoubtedly
damaged open cotton in many
sections. Another bullish devel-
opment was the declaring off of
the mill lockout in England.
Supplies were quickly absorbed
and there was nothing to keep
the market from booming. 1t
did boom in beautiful shape,
even to the satisfaction Of the
planter himself.
AS far as can be judged by in
formation sent out from the big
trading centers, the feeling is
very bullish and the undertone
of the market very strong.
Hardly any, if indeed any at all.
of the important brokerage
houses are advising the sale of
cotton. In fact, except for the
probability of a natural reaction
after the sharp advances, which
is not expected to be at all seri-
Gus, the advices are to buy cot
ton for considerably higher
prices.
Whatever the crop this year,
it is generally agreed that itawih
be short of the worlds demands.
Estimates of the total yield aver
age ABOUT II, 500, 900. Bearing
in mind the semi-failure of the
19O9-10 crop, 10, 900, ,O00,-it is
pointed out that by the end of
the present season there must
be something pretty close to cot
ton famine.

ing during his incumbency of
that office. Secretary YerRer of

brought $l1. 760.11.
Rankin, on which very little
cotton is planted, produced 30
bales, selling for S2,868. Al.
The total number of bales
raised on the four farms was
1864, and this cotton sold for a
total sum OF 1858, 1909, being
an average of 14.54 cents per
pound.
There were other products
aised on these farms. the dis

total amount they paid into the
treasury to the sum of $429, 859

count of expenses the sum Of
$251, 531. so, leaving the neat

which he gathered an average Of
about 30 bushels to the acre.
This fall he will plant something
like $50 acres in this cereal, il

successor desires to continue the
policy he has inaugurated along

The WOMAN'S STORE OPENIEG

The fall opening at the the
Woman's Store which occurred
on Friday evening, lasting
throughout this week, is a reve-
lation to Columbus shoppers.
The improvements that have
been in progress during the past
few months have recently been
finished and the store now equals
the big department houses of the
east. The cabinets, mirrors,
and show cases are new and up
to-date. Beginning at the hand
some plate glass show windows
that are wide and spacious, the
visitors were impressed with the
elegance that was therein dis
played. The effective back
ground in yellow with autumn
foliage and stately palms made a
rich setting for the figures.
One on the right as you entered
gowned in one piece frock of
chiffon panama, hobble skirt
effect. Another figure showed a
smart toilet in basket weave, or
as some prefer to say, sack
cloth.
In the window on the left, the
evening dresses were displayed.
One a blue chiffon with bolero,
hand embroidered trimmings.
The other a white chiffon very
soft and delicate, hand painted
in pink roses; the bodice trim
med in rich persian bands. On
entering. the sound of music
and familiar faces gave life and
animation to the place. The won
drously beautiful dress fabrics
in crepe cloth, silks. persians
crepes, embroidered chiffons in
beads, were a revelation. The
trimmings are more gorgeous
than ever, metal bands, bands
woven in gold and silver gall
looms, etc.
The show cases were especially
attractive as also were the pyra-
mids of ribbons in various colors.
A handsome display of batten-
burg and other hand made arti-
cles were in evidence.
On the second floor the colcr
scheme of gold and green pre-.
dominated. Here the millinery
ready to wear suits, furs were in
abundant array.
A particularly pretty hat for
dressy occasions was a large
black beaver trimmed in French
plumes. Another chic hat was
made of black velvet trimmed in
cerese roses with black chiffon

The third floor was given up TO
