WHAT PREsIDENTHIEE SAYS.
Farmers Cheated Out Of Several
5i.sa5e Is. Pounds Per Bale.

X E1s ;. - is}, itssi},.l t5,2y. = 4 70
/ !, Mr.gglJ ~. Lee, retiring President
Of. the Farmers. Union says:
Some time ago r fell into great
disrepute by assuming position
that the farmer was being cheated
out Of several pounds in every bale
Of: cotton under the system of tares;
men high up in financial, social, and
business affairs of this State proceed
ed to show the farmers that l was
uniformed, and that no one possess
ID any knowledge, concerning equit-
able tare but, few people whose bus
mess 1t was to make this special
profit on every bale, OF cotton bought,
Their criticisms did not deter me
from pushing this investigation, just
little, to see what was in it. 1t
did not take me long to get evidence
that in Wilmington, N. c. where the
[eotton buyers were only allowing the
Farmer twenty or twenty-five pounds
of tare,. were placing on every bale
exported the full thirty pounds. At
lanta was guilty Of the same offense,
so was Augusta, Savannah, as well
as every other bale exporting?
The people in the city Of Atlanta
engaged in the cotton business were
quick enough to throw in our face
a bill for cotton delivered in the New
England States showing that the tare
was twenty-five pounds, they suppos-
ing that the farmer would be con-
tent to know that in this country he
md the cotton buyer, as well as the
cotton dills, were about even; but
as two-thirds of our cotton Is manu-
factured in Europe, therefore shipp-
ed there, a. different scene is behind
the curtain when we look beyond the
seas, where two-thirds Of our cotton
is manufactured.
I am in possession Of some infor-
nation which resembles the follow
ing language: Under present con-
ditlons o: importing cotton into Eng
land, we, the English buyer, always
buy it with six per cent allowed on
ia1e; this includes the band and can
vas; six percent tare is about 80
pounds &c the BALE My communi-
cation also states that at the Amer
lean gin only six ties are put upon
each blae, but all exported cotton
has from eight to ten ties" Now,
If we sell, to be perfectly liberal,
say five million bales abroad the
American buyer buying the same
with twenty-five pounds Of tare, and
adds eight pounds more at the pres
ent price of cotton, 1t is no wonder
to me that they are anxious not TO
be distu1 bed in this little game. .

Cherries Luxury.

She had just finished housekeeping
and was just proud enough Of the
cleanliness to want to exhibit it. And
80 she did, but it never appealed to
The visitor who loves sunshine, light
and home atmosphere. The parlor,
with its luxuriant rug, fine draperies
md excellent pictures, was still damp
from the cleaning process; the cur
!ains smelled starchy, the dark blinds
we're down and the room was dreary.
The blinds were drawn in the dining
room, the cut glass glistened like
lcicles in a cave on the mantle, side
board and center table. The kitchen,
lust freshly painted with green paint
"a very poisonous substance), was
lightly closed, window shades par
TALLY drawn and the place was rank
with the odor of new linoleum, stove
polish and paint. Call that pleasant?
A tent in the wilderness, with sun
shine and a growing sunflower. would

Cleanliness denied sunshine is not
conductive to pleasant home atmos-

Some Suggestions.

AS a general rule, picture Should
be hung so that the middle will fall
about the level OF the eye of a person
Of average height.
People who are fortunate enough
to possess both oils and water colors
do not hang them on the same walls
Large pictures need distance to give
the proper effect Of perspective. II
they must be hung in small rooms, q
good result is obtained by hanging
them opposite doors.
A sideboard cover in coarse gray
linen has a border Of stiff poplar
trees embroidered in cross stitch to
match the design of unique frieze
When possible, it Is good plan
to hang pictures without wires on
any visible support. 1t wires must be
used they should be- of the smallest
size consistent with the weight OF the
picture.
The ivory and green cretonne bought
to fit up a green and white summer
bedroom proved a dire failure at the
first washing. It Is advisable to test
samples Of such materials before In
vesting in large quantities.

Autos Going too Fast.


During the meeting of the city

sounding the horns on nearing street
strers. The Mayor. said that unless
seater caution was observed some
one would be seriously hurt. AS a
result of the mayors talk an ordi-
ance regulating the speed of autos
and motor cycles was introduced and
read the fist tile. When this audi
rance is passed the officers will ne
expected to enforce it rigidly.
