SOUTH GIVEN A BOOST
BY PRODUCE EXCHANGE
Has Declared That All Its
Contracts Must Be Filled by
American Products

Another decided boost has been given
the south, especially the cotton growing
section which is so vitality interested In
cotton and cotton-seed products. by the
recent action of the New York Pro-
duce exchange which has declared it's
contracts must be filled with cotton-seed
products Of American origin and pro-
duced within the United States. The
members of the Cotton Seed Crushers'
association OF Georgia are very enthu-
siastic over this action. as are all who
appreciate the advantage II will prove to
this and other cotton-growing states.
The Cotton Seed. published in Atlanta.
to develop further interest in cotton-seed
products, contains an article which han
dies this most interesting ruling as fol-
lows: THE importation of foreign vege-
table oils has fallen off and the market
has displayed f1rmer tendency. good
ly part Of the domestic supply of English
cotton oil has found fits way into the
soap kettle and IL it was intended to de-
liver this oil against off cotton oil con-
tracts the intention has been decisively
'squelched.' 1t was contended that an
attempt was made to deliver English oil
on American off oil contracts, but the
buyers failed to prove their claims and
had to accept the OIL. To eliminate fur
Their agitation of this character a new
amendment was adopted to the cotton oil
trading rules Of the produce exchange
which stated that unless otherwise spec
flied at time of sale, all cotton-seed pro-
ducts shall be of American origin and
produced within the United States of
America"
This means much to Georgia and other
cotton-growing states of the south.
Southern men now on the produce ex-
change have defeated an attempt to have
alien oil I'LL contracts whick were obVi-
ously intended to ne filed with the oil
Of the south, and by their action have
done much to help the planters and cot
ton oil mill of this section. 1t is adj
mittedly true that no oil can take the
place of southern cotton-seed oil and their
action makes it a rule that when cotton
seed oil is mentioned, cotton-seed oil OF
the south is meant.

accompanied her, as armed escort
Jackson left Rachel at Natchez and
returned at once to Nashville. Yet
this innocent journey Infatuated Ro-
bards. In the first moments of his
rage he brought suit for divorce. Pre-.
liminary steps in the suit were taken.
Then, for two years, Richards allowed
the case to rest. Meantime, news
came to Nashville that he had actual,
ly secured the divorce, and that Rachel
was free. There was no longer any
obstacle to Jackson's love. So he and
Mrs. Richards, in the summer of 1891,
were married. They lived in ideal hap
piness and everything pointed to an
equally joyous future. Then, to their
horror. in 1893. came tidings that the
divorce had never been granted. In
that year Richards secured it, and
Jackson and Mrs. Richards were mar
ried over again.
News travelled slowly In the
eighteenth century and was often dis
torted before it reached it's destina-
ton. Hence all sorts of conflicting
and damaging reports about the young
wife sprang into circulation. These
ISLANDERS nearly broke her heart They
had the effect on Jackson of a red rag
to bull. In blind fury, he set out to
crush the false rumors and to punish
those who started or spread them. In
other words, like knight of old, he
undertook to kill anyone who might
chance to speak slightingly of Rachel
.., c He fought a duel
Woman Twice. nanaod -
1875; threatened to shoot Gov. Sewer
of Tennessee on sight for light re-
mark about his wife, and shot and
killed one Charles Dickinson, who
was allegedly guilty of indulging in
the same sort of gossip. In the Dick
inson duel Jackson received a wound
from whose effects he never wholly
recovered.
Having thus INDICATED his wife's
honor, the future president plunged
into politics, rising rapidly to con-
gresham, senator and supreme court
justice. In the war of 1872 he raised
$500 men and performed prodigies Of
valOr which eliminated in the thrash
ing Of the more powerful British
force at the battle Of New Orleans. AS
years went on Rachels beauty faded
and she became, to most people, an
ignorant. plain old woman But to
Jackson she was always an ideal Of
loneliness. Up to the time she died
in 1881. he was her adoring knight,
and. for love Of her, was ever ready to
champion the cause OF any slandered
woman.
When Jackson first ran for presi-
dent the old false story about his wife
was raked up by his political foes.
Shame and sorrow over the renewal
Of these malicious reports crushed her
spirit and FASTENED her death.

TALES
Orone McDooble and Andrus Gobble.
@& Ellis Darker: BuHef1
e49 Author ofPigs is Pigs Etc: W.
ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

Old Andrus Gooble, of Betzville, was
one of the shrewdest men in town, but
twice in his life he made mistakes.
Once was when he lent money to Or
one McDooble, and once was when he
thought he could work the money out
of Orone.
It seems that a couple of years ago
a syndicate of prominent Betzville ag-
riculturists decided to build tele-
phone line, and when they went to
Orone he said he would be glad to
go into it, and he subscribed one hun
dred dollars, but when the time came
to pay up, he did not have the money,
so he went to old Andrus Gobble and
began talking loan out of him. Old
Andrus refused at first, but Orone has
a harsh, grating voice, like the rough
edge of rasp file, and after he had
talked to old Andrus awhile Andrus
felt his ear drums giving away. Ev-
cry time Orone said word it was like
rasping a file across Andrus's ear
drums, and in a few minutes his ear
drums were rasped down so thin that
they palpitated painfully, and they
were hardly any thicker than a sheet
of tissue paper. Old Andrus saw that
If Orone coaxed a few minutes more
his ear drums would be worn quite
through, so he told him to shut off his
voice and he would lend him the
money. So Orone did, and Andrus
made the loan.
Then he started right in trying to
collect, but he had hard job of it.
Orone did not have any cash, nor any
