Success Of Southern States
Cotton Corporation Will be
OF IneStimabIe Value

Iwell recognized principles, employ
ed successfully in other fields, these
gentlemen propose to give a stable
market price Of Is cents per pound
to the cotton crop Of 1912 and 1918.
The ability and money that can
hold the price Of wheat to an al
mostnnvarying selling price through
storage capacity Of elevators and
the regulation Of the quantity or
.dered, can regulate the price Of cot
ton. It is true the wheat crop is
worth only $3.50, 100000 million,
while the cotton crop is worth ST.,
loco, 100000, but wheat IS a more
perishable product, and cotton can
be carried until spinners demand it
more easily and with less liability
to loss.
Please give US briefly the plan
by which 50 great a result is to be
achieved?n
The plan in a nut shell is to
pay the planter IS cents a pound
for all cotton listed with the corpo-
ration and delivered, the delivery
beginning August /, 1912 Eleven
cents per ponnd is paid in spoteash
and 4 cents per pound is paid in
certificates bearing 6 per cent inter
est maturing in 80 days from date.
The corporation is perfecting ar
rangemants with a reputable gnar
antee company to guarantee to.
underw1ite these certificates, 50.

this conc9rn2"
None whatever as I see it, The
planter lists his cotton with the con
poration through each county or
ganization,\ with the option to pay
ST per bate cash for the number Of
bales listed, or 81 per bale as the
cotton comes in. Of course, until
the corporation has demonstrated
its ability to fulfill its contract, to
pay the Is cents per pound, the arr
erage farmer will elect to pay for
listing his cotton as it is delivered
and paid for"

WOMAN'S IMPORTANT POSITION
IN THE WORLDS ECONOMICS

We have CLEANED from recent read
| ings and observations that woman Is
still an economic factor in the home
even in a larger sense than she for
merly was. Today she does not weave
carpets; in fact, does little or nothing
toward the production of wealth as
compared with what she once did
Still economics has two important di-
visions, production and consumption.
Until recently by far the greater
stress has been laid on production.
There was time when women did a
goodly share in the production of
wealth. Now things have changed,
and their principal duty is to see the
proper consumption of wealth. The
shop and factory have taken produc-
ton from the home, but consumption
remains there, and woman must I'M
dertake, as her share in the econom-
les of the home, to see to the proper
expenditures for food, clothing, etc.
So, both man and woman, in their re-
spective positions of producer and
consumer, contribute directly to the
advancement of general prosperity

EDlSoN's LATEST INVENTION

If the New York papers are to be
believed the wizard Edison has sue
ceeded in solving a problem that has
been taxing the inventive genius of
many a mortal for the past three or
four years, or ever since the moving
pictures were thrown on the screen.
Some attempts have been made TO
supply the audible words, songs and
sounds that go with the pictures. II
seems that Thomas A. Edison has
found the solution. He has been
working on the invention for two or
three years, and has now reached the
point where he is almost ready to
Civ ethe first public exhibition. The
new device is not expected to work
any great revolution in the moving
picture business other than to cause
the progressive people in the bust
ness to install the latest machines.
And there are plenty of people who
will continue TO prefer the silent
drama.-St Augustine Record.

enviable record of Joseph Hinchman,
81 years of age, who resides on his

Mr.. Hinchman told how he had
raised twenty-six children, all of
whom he had adopted, and who grew
up to be valuable citizens.
Mr. Hinchman said that he adopted
the first of these children when he
was only &c years old. At that time
he was driving his milk wagon. He
became associated with Mrs Nancy
Andrews, who was doing much work
among the poor. From time to time
she would tell Mr.. Hinchman of her
work. He became interested, and Of
fered to take some of the children. At
times he had as many as five or six
children under his roof
"She sent them so fast that I
thought there would be too many for
me to take care of" said the old man,
"but | never turned one away, and
adopted them ALL
Of the twenty-six, twenty of these

FORMER JACKSONVILLE PASTOR
GIVES HISTORY OF HYMNS

The following from Tuesdays At
lanta Constitution is quite interest
ing:
At the evening service of the Cen
trail Congregational church, Sunday,
the usual sermon was replaced by an
interesting and inspiring musical pro-
gram entitled, "The History of the
Hymns"
The pastor, DR.. George Loripg
Hanscom, gave brief sketches of au-
thors of and inspirations for four of
the most beautiful hymns which have
for years been sung throughout Chris
tendon. After each sketch the words
Of the hymn were thrown upon a
screen by a powerful stereopticon,
and the congregation joined the choir
in singing.
The first hymn considered was
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" which
was written by Rev. Charles Wesley
of Epworth, England, who, with his
brother, John Wesley, the founder OF
Methodism, did missionary work
among the colonists and Indians at
Savannah in 1887.
"Safe in the Arms OF Jesus" was
the favorite hymn of more than 1000,
written by its author, Fanny ]. Cros-
by, the famous blind hymn writer and
teacher of the blind.
'The Ninety and Nine" the author
ship of which is disputed, was made
famous by Ira D. Sankey. the great
singer, who was for years associated
with Dwight L. Moody, and was sung
with wonderful effect by Mr.. San
key on many occasions.
In speaking of Nearer, My God, to
Thee" the beautiful hymn written by
Sarah F. Adams, DR.. Hanscom spoke
Ifeelingly of the most recent occasion
upon which the hymn touched hearts
all over the world, the tragic moment
when the great Titanic plunged its
burden of humanity to eternity witt

THE COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE
GENERAL

Several newspapers all over the
state have been fiim-fammed out Of
many dollars by candidates for va
rious offices in the recent primary.
They are all remaining silent in the
vain hope that the bills due them viii
be paid some day. On the contrary,
the recent candidates who owe these
bills are not giving them the least
thought. They have turned in their
expense account minus these items
although the law requires publication
of all campaign expenses. In short,
they never expect to pay the money
they owe the newspapers for adver'
tising-fair and just debt.
Editors and publishers should get
together on this matter and formulate
some plan of action against such
bunch of rogues and fiim-fammers
who want their names heralded
through the columns of the newspa-
pers as 1.-THE Peoples Candidate,
Running On His Own Merits" ETC.
It's hard to submit, nevertheless II
seems to be a fact that newspaper
men are the easiest business men IN
the world to fall for the game of the
swindler.
Maybe they will learn some day to
accept no candidate advertising on
any other terms than 1.-The pay in ad
vance" system. When they do they
will find themselves more prosperous
by many, many dollars.-Dunnelion
