BEGIN TIE WORK NOW.

There is no time like the present
the farmers OF the South have a
great work to perform. Well done
this work means the salvation OF the
Southern farmer: neglected. or done
in half-hearted manner, it means
but a continuation Of low prices for
the South's great staple; it means
farming at a loss. or at best a con-
stant fight to make both ends meet
on the farm. The farmer is entitled
to his profit just as is every other
business man. lie Is his own worst
enemy, however, and year after year
stands in the way Of success.
Are you going to cut your cotton
acreage this year, Mr. Farmer? Put
in some good, sound thinking these
cold days Consider the folly Of the
past year Of over-production and low
prices. 1t would seem that all the
years of adversely Of the cotton
grower would have taught the les
son he needs. but it hasn't. "Fxpe-
ricncc is dear school," but the
southern farmer seems loath to grad
nate from 1t. In all reason, he has
been pupil long enough.
Are yon hesitating before you de-
eide TO cut your acreage? If so, why
90 you hesitate? Ask yourself that
question, and then try to answer it.
II you can find 4 logical reason for
even moments hesitation you can
ma n great dHa! mere than we can.
We hope that every farmer in Oco-
nee "ill read 'ad consider an article
in this issue Of The Courier written
by Is. Harris. There is an abundance
of good thought ana sound reason in
Mr.. Harris article. Read it and act
on the advice contained in it,

SENATOR EARIiIG'S BILL.

Senator j. r. Earle. Of Oconee, has
a bill before the Senate proposing to
place the appOintive power, in the
matter OF supplying Special judges,
in the hands Of the Governor. This
bill, Mr.. Earle contends, is offered in
order to "clarify the situation."
But will it do so?
We do not think il will have that
tendency; rather 10 the contrary
Let the Judicial and Executive de-
partments Of the state government t
he separate and distinct, removing
the former as far as practicable from
any possibility Of political taint
If Section 27i3 of the Code is to
be changed in any manner whatso-
ever, add to the powers OF the Chief
Justice the power to not only recon-
mend, but to commission, Special
Judges.
At all events keep the two
branches OF the government scpa rate
and distinct. The troubles Of the
past are due not to a faulty section
OF the Code, but to McddlcsOme Mat
tie in the Executive Mansion.

Tt is planned to organize a male chorus or glee club among the young men of the Y. M C. A. during the coming season. It seems strange that in city the size of Phoenix with as many good voices and undeveloped talent among the young men as are to be found here, that such an organi- zation should not have been formed long ago.
 There is perhaps no kind of club life which will prove so pleasant to young men nor render fourth of the benefits to be derived from a mu- sic club, either vocal or instrumental"
 First there is the value that comes from association and friendships formed among young men of good character with a similar inclination
 Second, there is a great benefit to be derived from the development of latent talent which makes man wis CT, prouder and capable of much great CT enjoyment"
 Third, there is great uplifting in- fluence in the study of good music and creates a love for the beautiful and good"
 Fourth, it trains one to observe painstaking care; to understand and enjoy the beautiful in art; to dis tinguish between good and bad; to think quickly and to act with precis- ion, all of which characteristics will add materially towards success in life.

HOW TO GET A GOOD PICTURE
If You Aren't Pretty Make Your Pho tograph Express a Personality.

It seems a rather blunt thing to say that no woman without little af fectauon takes a good photograph unless, of course, she is a beauty; but the statement is true. none the less. The perfectly natural down right woman rarely photographs well. Unable to assume an expression she does not actually feel she takes a position as stiff and uncomfortable as she really is before the fearsome eye of the c,mera, and her photo graph lacks the charm and the grace of her own really charming and graceful personality, always evident when she is at her ease and not self-conscious
 The natural born coquette, on the other hand, is practiced in expressing things she does not feel by tricks of gesture, by head movement. by sweep of the ldshes. a raising of the eyes. and so on. Look pIeased," ad- jures the photographer and she can do it in a minute-just as she can look demure, or coy, or soulful. or anything else. as eXpediency requires. Naturally, she takes a charming pho tograph, often without possessing half the beauty of the woman who does not know how to pose before the camera
 If you are quite positive you are not pretty enough to take charming photograph. bend all your efforts to looking chic ar q interesting. Make your photographs express a strong personality-and go to the pho tographer who is artist enough to grasp this personality idea. and who will take care of the lights and re- touch with discrimination.
