WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

New Orleans Picayune: When Congress
adjourns let US be thankfulfor some things
it has not done.
Memphis Commercial Appeal: Don't
kick Remember when your collar willis
the cotton grows.
Harper's Weekly: It was Mr.. Bryan's
hope that conditions would arise resulting
in his own nomination.
Thibodaux Commercial Journal: Men
should be judged by what they accomplish,
rather than by what they promise.
Frank Leslie's Weekly: The farther the
thoughtful voter keeps away from the
noisy crowd, the wiser his judgment
New Orleans States: If the truth were
known, mostof the heat prostration- report
ed in New York we're simple beerstrokes.
Memphis Commercial Appeal: England
has perfect right to her views about the
canal; but, after all is said and done,
whose canal is it?
Thibodaux Commercial Journal: When
Lafourche has a campaign without deliber-
ate falsehoods and ISLANDERS for argument,
she will be fortunate.
Meridian Dispatch: Gambling in private
homes often leads to bank embezzlement,
but, of course, mother must have her
sport even if her boys do wrong later.
New Orleans Picayune: New York
wants to know why the text books in pub
lie schools are changed so often. When
they discover the answer, other states will
be glad to send stamped envelopes for a
reply.
St. Louis Republic: There was no &C.
casion for Senator Heyburn's speech on
Thomas jefferson. The Sage of Monticello
is no less secure in his eminence than the
Senator is in his reputation as .22-short
rim-fire statesman.
St. Helena Echo: The Echo has watch
ed closely every movement made by
Governor Hall since he took the oath
of office to see if he measured up to the
correct standard in keeping his campaign
pledges and in the carrying out of the
platform on which he was elected, and it il
with much pride that we are able to say
that he has not yet failed in any instance
to do his whole duty, manly and fearlessly
The Marksville Enterprise says Gov
Hall ''Thus far has lived up to his promises
and if all his platform pledges were no
ratified, it was simply because he could no
do it. Everything indicates that he is
man of firmness, of fine judgment, coo
and collected and willing to perform hi
duties acceptably to the people. He is
safe Chief Executive and he should receiv,
the support of the people regardless OF fac
TONS"

out his pledges. He does not propose tina
his platform shall prove colossal wrecl
of broken promises. He is avoiding every
thing bordering on the autocratic and tn

Joseph Milton, bartender in saloon
in New York City, convicted of "white
slavery was last week given the legal
limit by Judge O'Sullivin, in General Ses-
sions. The prisoner must serve not less
than ten nor more than twenty years in the
States prison and was fined 5000. If all
the scoundrels engaged in the business of
"white slavery" were as summarily dealt
with as in this case, innocent womanhood
would be better protected and society
would have occasion for general rejoicing.

Good Week for Cotton.

Good Week for Cotton.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal of
Monday says:
Considered as whole, the cotton crop
made advancement during last week as
compared with the previous week.
In most sections of the cotton belt, in fact
all sections save Central Texas, the week
was favorable one from aweather stand
point, and the crop in all but this section
made excellent progress over the previous
week. Some fields, however, will be
abandoned on account of the foulness.
The plant grew and hardened to some ex-
tent in all these States. Fruiting is still
backward, but made better progress last
week than has been heretofore noted.
Insect damage to the crop is small so far.
Boil weevils are reported from nearly all
sections Of the central valley and a few in
Texas, Georgia and Alabama. Damage
from this source so far is small.
Hot dry weather of the past two weeks
has worked a wonderful change in Ala
bama cotton according to reports gathered
by the Montgomery Advertiser. Fields
have been cleared of grass, and the plant
has grown steadily.
The crop will be late, estimated one to
four weeks, due to early season setbacks.
The plant is small and is spotted in many
localities. Little alarm is felt concerning
pests, corn having received more damage
from this source than cotton. On the whole
Alabama farmers in the past two weeks
have been lifted from slough of despond
to condition of cheerful optimism.

The Reason

If you could walk around the acres of
lumber piles which form large part of
the raw material that has been air dry
ing for years-then go through the pro-
cess of manufacture, you would under
stand why The Balm has earned the
name of "The Best Wagon on Earth"
You would know why theirs is the one
wagon to stand up in all climates, no
matter how arid. The Balm wagon is
made from the highest grade of mate
rails, by the best skilled mechanics.
This has been the policy of The Balm
Wagon Company for over sixty years.

Selection of Materials

The Balm method of selecting mate
rails is particularly unique. The timber
is bought years in advance of the time
when it is ready to enter the manufact-
uring department. This carefully Sc
lected raw material is air-dried where
the frost of winters and the sunshine of
summers season the timber to just the
right degree of bone hardness and steel
toughness.
Balm method then insists that all this
raw material go through the most criti-
cal test and when it goes to the manu-
featuring department, it is rejected if
found defective in the minutest par
ticular.
Construction
Not only are the best skilled me-
chanics employed but in every possible
way old-time methods Of manufacture
have been eliminated and the most i'm
proved labor-saving machines are used
to perform the operations that were for
merly done by hand. This insures the
uniformity and accuracy that in former
days was impossible, besides it has
reduced the cost of manufacture to a
minimum.
Balm Wheels
The wheel is the most vital part of your
wagon. The dodge method of construction has
been adopted in the setting of the spokes into
the hubs, giving wider base of resistance and
enabling the wagon to carry heavier load than
is possible under the old and prevailing style.
Balm wheels are imme rsed in boiling linseed oil
The oil works its way into every pore and grain
of the wood and forms preservative against all
future changes in climatic conditions.
Balm Axles
Balm axles are made of the best selected air.
dried hickory, constructed and braced SO the
fulcrum is transferred in all cases to the point
the greatest strain.
Balm Skeins
Balm skeins are made from special patterns
designed to admit as large an amount Of the axle
as possible into them. The steel skein is pro-
vided with long sleeve that reaches under ant
fits closely to the axle, while the cast skein is
inforced by truss rod.
THE Balm Wagon is not the Lowest
L priced wagon but it is an acknowl-
edged fact that it is the best and is the
standard by which all other wagons are
compared and for service and utility
will, in the end, prove your best wager
buy.
