If every cotton grower practic-
ed good farming, the crop usually
made could be produced on one
third the number of acres now
in cotton, and untold millions of
bushels of wheat, oats. and corn
grown that are not now produced,
while hundreds or thousands of
cattle would be found on the
Southern hills, and bacon would
be packed in hundreds of estab-
lishments and millions of homes
all over the South. Then we
would be in a position to hold the
cotton crop for a good. price and
would make a profit on it even if
prices were not high. Progress

So many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the importance
OF keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects

The hope of the South is in
better farming - learning not
only how to produce the worlds
cotton crop on the smallest pos
slble acreage, but also the big
gest possible yields of grain, for
age and feed crops. for human
food and for feeding live stock,
so that he may be independent of
Spectators" and raiders" and
prepared to hold cotton whenever
the time comes to hold. And
every man who is farming so
poorely that he can not do this is
a drawback to our entire section.

FARMERS NEED IT

The progressive farmer is regarded
as the type of independence. He lives
well, has practically everything he
wants, and as money in the bank. Do
you know what made the successful
farmer? Why, it was simply the an.
pication of busine principles and
methods to agriculture. If you are a
farmer and haven't a business educa-
ton, you are simply making old Mother

ought to yield you a surplus. Apply

Yet in our own hearts most OF
us know that we wish to do right
to be just ard kind and helpful.
1t is not likely that the men and
women about us are so very diff
erent.
No, it is not worth while to
as so many do, for the old
fashioned n en- and women OF
many virtues; if we cannot see
them all about US, it is only be-
cause we are looking at life
through distorted lenses. The
men of to-day are as pure as
brave as truly devout as the men
of any past time; the women OF
to-day as loving, as tenderly
helpful and serenely hopeful as
women have ever been. The
old. fashioned father who gave
good counsel and set a good ex-
ample to his children can be
found all over the land. The old
fashioned mother, whose gentle
charity took in all the world and
whose self-sacrificing devotion
covered her loved ones as with a
garment, walks the streets of
every village and throngs the
aisles OF every country church.
The sweet girl of the old time;
the youth of great ambitions and
high ideals: the people who UNI
selfishly loved home and country
and who reverenced abstract
truth and justice, all these, the
real nobility of earth. are all
about us: we jostle them in the
streets or see them pass along
every day. Progressive Farmer.

day occurred the most dramatic incident of the week--the advance of veterans in blue and gray to meet and shake hands where they had fought 5O years before.
 Three hundred and fifty ex-Confederates formed in double line facing north, while a dozen yards away stood half that number of union veterans facing south.
 At signal the veterans advanced with outstretched hands. Above the southern line waved a small Virginia flag, the only standard to be seen. Meeting the vet erans clasped hands, stood for five min utes grouped about the little blue flag, vowing eternal friendship and recount ing incidents of "5o years ago" Earlier in the dav the crowd listened to speeches by Dr. George C. Round, Governor Mann, Maj. D. R. Lowell, chairman of the blue and gray national organization, and Col Edmund Berkley of Virginia.
 The reunion closed tonight with a camp fire" in the courthouse yard.

PLAN PANAMA
 MAIL SERVICE

Washington, July H.--The nearness Of the completion of the Panama canal was emphasized today by an order issued by Postmaster General Hitchcock looking to the establishment of an ocean mail serv- ice between the principal ports of the At lantic and Pacific oceans and the ports of Panama and Colon. The employ ment of fast steamers in the service will develop a great commerce between the two Americas, it is expected. The order calls for a service which shall begin in the autumn of 1914, so as to be in opera ton when the canal Is opened. Under the proposed contract, 16-knot steamers vii. furnish weekl3 service between New York city, New Orleans and Colon, and be- tween Seattle and San Francisco and Pan anna. This mail line will afford a con- venent and reliable transportation route for freight in swfter steamers than any now available for such traffic between the ports of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
 MT. Hitchcock expressed the opinion to- night that the surplus of the pustofficf department would be sufficient to meet the cost of the proposed ocean service which will approximate s1 1Oo0,O00 a year.

Brewton, July 21-tspecial )-Mayor ". H Strong and Contractor E. s. Lilies have compiled some figures on the growth and development of Brewton which show that during the past 12 months total of S151,0 had been expended or let to contract for new buildings and improve ments within the police Jurisdiction of Brewton. This Is some showing for a city that Is given but As5 people by the federal census.
 Four scout cars were in Brewton yes terday trying to interest the people in the extension of the national highway from Americus, Ga, to Mobile.
 The members of the party were met by a number of representative business men of this city and after talking over plans they left immediately for points south of Brewton.
 The trip was made under the auspices of the Commercial club of Andalusia, and prominent men of that city were in the party, among whom was Edward De- ty, editor of the Andalusia Star.
 The proposed route will pass through Eufaula, Clayton, Troy, Elba, Andalusia, Brooklyn, Brewton, Pollard, Flomaton, bay Ml0eCUe ana Oapnne ana lOOhS to be decidedly better than the Moultrie- Pensacola scout survey.
