Cotton Crop.

Tiptonville, Tenn, Sept. 15.-While
the cotton crop has been damaged by
the continued rains, it is thought now
that there will be almost an average
crop. Opinions differ as TO what the
damage viii be, some estimating it
viii be one-third short and others not
near so much. 1t has improved rapidly
the last few days. Picking is well under
way and The price is fairly good. Nearly
all the gins Of the county have started
up and some of them are running full
time.

WILSON is RIGHT.
Declares He Properly Dehes the
Greatest Problems.

American politics is undergoing a great
change-not an upheaval as some who
dislike the change would call it.
Upheaval is a word used to liken a
change to destruction-ea earthquakes and
the likes.
/ This change that is taking place is a
healthy change-a supporting Of COM
mon sense principles by the men OF our
natiopFand turning to the political
party that is showing itself most strong
ly in favor of these principles and of
the greatest good to the greatest NUM-
Der.
Such turning has meant turning to
the Democratic party and to a great de-
gree away from the party that has been
in power for the past twenty years.
Congress has shown the largest evil
dence of this wonderful change, and
now it is quite plain that the people are
looking toward Democratic President
in 1912.
The Georgian is convinced from out
ward appearances even if it were not by
its own conviction that the one thing
necessary to assure Democratic success
at the next Presidential election is the
selection of Governor Woodrow Wilson
as the nominee.
Because we believe this we have for
long time been printing in this column
each day news stories and editorials
from the best papers of the country,
giving our readers an opportunity thus
to know, and knowing, to select Wood
row Wilson as their choice to represent
Democracy.
This is being done by us without even
suggestion from Governor Wilson or
any one connected with him in any way,
and at our own expense. - Atlanta

New York, Sept. ia Paris copy
right cable to The New York Worlc
says:
Before sailing for home Samuel I'm.
termeyer, in an interview on economic
problems in the United States, said:
The two great and difficult prob
lens that confront us in America are:
First, to curb the concentration oil
the money power; and
Second to regulate and control the
industrial competition engaged in inter
state commerce.
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, did not mistake or over-state
either the facts or the immediate, over
shadowing peril from the growing con-
centration of the money power in
America.
! sincerely hope that the commit
tee in Congress to which has been in
trusted the investigation of this great
problem will associate with itself public
spirited men who actually know the ma
ture of the task at issue and thus be
able to formulate at least partial rem
edy before it is too late. The question
should be no longer treated as simply
cry of the demagogues
" That is what happened to the trust
question in the United States for twenty
years, until complete remedy for the
trust has become impossible.
: The danger lies not so much in
allowing men to do as they please,
within certain limits, with their own
money, as in fixing the extent to which
they may make use Of other peoples
money for their own aggrandizement,
and in regulating the power they thus
usurp over the lives and fortunes OF
others.
The New Yorker then named, one
by one, several OF his remedies for the
existing conditions. He said:
" First and foremost, l would sug-
gest we take from these men their con
troll Of life insurance funds and national
bank deposits in the large cities,
to billions OF dollars. Soon
ar or later industrial life insurance will
nave to be undertaken by the State
much as we may dislike that alternative.

o whom the funds of these industrial
insurance concerns really belong, inn
leratively demand the change When
he State is behind the policyholder,
here will be no excuse for accumulat- I
ng these vast and rapidly increasing
eserves, to insore solvency, beyond the {
ctual cost of insurance.

Appetlte Not a Necessity.

DR.. John R. Murlin of New York, as
sistant professor of physiology at the
Cornell university medical college, In
an article in the October number of
the Journal Of the Outdoor Life, com
pares the food we eat to the fuel used
in furnishing steam and power for an
engine. In selecting our food he says
that we should eat enough to furnish
energy for the days work, but that
much more than this is not needed.
He holds that the appetite is not a ne
cessity for good digestion. There is
no fallacy of nutrition" he says,
greater than that which supposes
that a food cannot be digested and uti-
lied without appetite" Most Of the
food we eat, fully four-ffths, goes TO
supply energy for u everyday tasks,
while less than one-lfth goes to sup
0ly building material.
