Constructive Advertising.

The Montgomery Advertiser was
impressed with the four-column ad-
Vertisement of one of the leading
banks of Pensacola, which recently
appeared in the Pensacola Journal.
The advertisement is not per Sc an
advertisement of the bank. It reads
like an editorial utterance from a
newspaper which has as much faith
in its town as 1t has in it's party
when the latter is about to go into
power A cut of the new railroad
depot at Pensacola handsome
uilding-illustrates the advertise
ment The rest of the article sets
forth in a gist the rapid growth of
the town for the past few years, and
discusses Pensacola's business oppor-
tunities of the future 1t doesn't
discuss banks or banking Pen
sacola bank knew that it was doing
its town good by advertising the
town, and it knew that whatever
does a town good helps the banks and
other business institutions I'VE
have faith in Pensacola" proclaims
the bank in its advertisement,
This is a novel idea, and, with our
Alabama contemporary, The News
commends it to the consideration OF
other banks OF course a bank, like
other business institutions, in its ad-
Vertising matter, must bring to light
its particular claims upon the bust
ness of the depositor, and the bank
too, must educate the average mai
to the Importance of saving his mon

community a great service. But ;

business. The public spiritedness o
such a move will make friends 70

Going After Loan Sharks.

The current issue of Frost's maya
zine, THE Call of the South" calls
the attention of the Georgia Iegisla-
ture, IN striking language, to the
prevalence of the loan shark evil in
the state and the crying need of some
legislative relief for the poor and
unfortunate from this species of OPP
preston. The editorial in question
calls attention to the authentic case
of a clerk who showed in the Fulton
superior court that he had paid the
loan sharks over $1,000 of usurious
interest on an original loan Of $3.50,
and that he still owed the principal
The editorial says in conclusion;
Many years ago there was q law on
the statute books which provided that
where usury was charged the entire
debt should be forfeited, and if the
legislature will re-enact this law and
provide in addition that the loan
shark must serve a sentence, on the
changing this wicked traffic will be
speedily broken up"

A certain learned English jurist
said the constitution of England was
built upon precedent from the time
of the first man who landed on her
soil. The making of woman, her fa!-
libles, her costumes and her general
department, the scapegoat for mans
sins seems to have been built upon
the same principles. Old Adam said,
THE woman that thou gavest me. !"
Old Abraham lays his infatuation for
Hagar on his wife's shoulders. Isaac
blames Rebecca for Jacobs trans,
gressions, and Jacob lays his sin of
treachery on his mother. David
makes Bathsheba washing herself an
excuse for the murder of Uriah. Solo,
mon lays his forsaking God to the
seductive lure of the woman whom
he had married.
In the whole of the Bible but two
gentlemanly sinners took their sins
upon their own shoulders. Noah said
his love of wine made him get drunk,
and doesn't claim that Mrs. Noah's
extravaganza and high temper drove
him to ruin; and old Peter acknowl-
edges that fear of his own safety
drove him to denying Christ. Not
once does he blame even his mother
in-law nor the Christ who raised her
from a bed of fever.
Hesiod, a Greek who fiourished
$50 years before Christ, has this in
his direction concerning marriages:
"Let no fair woman tempt the Slid
ing mind, with garments gathered in
a knot behind" So that my good
brother, Mcintosh, of
the Herald, as we'll as gundry preach
ers and purists, had as well let up,
or publish what the ancients said in
their day, and do like the lazy man
who wrote out his prayer and pasted
it on the head of his bed, and after
wards when he went to lie down
would point his finger to it and say:
''Them's my sentiments, Cod One
gentleman of the clerical garb whom
| used to hear frequently had only
one subject, woman's dress and wo-
man leading man into sin, and no
matter if his text was without form
and void" or eye must be born
again." or GO preach" his sermon
was the same, as the musicians say,
with variations. A friend of his said
it was because the old man had been
led twice to ''the altar OF Hymen"
and his wife was the "better horse"
and having to sing in minor keys
when at home he took the only
chance he had of telling his better

Women Farmers.

Women in all parts of the country
are filling the soil with success, and
in many instances are object lessons
to men in getting results from the
field.
We have recently seen statements
to the effect that one of the best
farmers in Sumter county is a wo-
man, and that in Wilkerson county
a woman is successfully managing a
farm OF several thousand acres.
Now the papers of that state are
writing up two women who are max
ing a success of farming in New
York, and declaring that their profits
are $4,000 a year. They are Mrs.
D. G. Armstrong and Miss Helene
Lowell. 1t is not a farm OF fads and
fanciea, but good, workable farm,
where they raise the best of stock
and fine produce and make butter
that fetches sixty cents a pound in
the fashionable colonies in that part
of the country. 1t has proved a mon
ey-maker for the reason that they
from the first put the best into their
farm and sold only the best from it.
1t is case of brains conquering the
soil.
The principle, the best OF every
thing is the cheapest in the end" is
just as true of farming as OF any
success is bound to follow.

SHOWS NO SIGN OF ARATING
Revolution in Feminine Clothes Hor-
rifying, Says London Times. An
Orgie of Embarrassing.


A storm of comment has been arous-
ed in England by an article in the
LONDON Times under the caption
DRESS or Undress." The writer
says;
I'VE are at the hight of revolu-
ton in feminine clothes which has
not been seen since the French revo-
luton gave sanction to the excuses
of women in the direetofre and en-
pire gowns. Five years ago women
still wore skirts and bodices which
covered them, stockings thick enough
not to show the color Of the skin, and
sufficient stays and petticOats to con-
ceal the details of their persons. The
wasp waists and humps on the skirt
or shoulders disappeared. 1t was
the return of nature to true art, but
today it is patent at least to the OBJ
servant person that women wear
almost nothing under their gowns
even in the daytime. PetticOats have
been replaced by tights and stockings
are of such diaphanous silk as en-
barrass the be1iOTder. So much for
the foundation.
cover this is a ff1my sheath OF half
transparent material cut almost as
low for day wear as for evening, with
such slashings that the lifting of the
skirt will fully display the leg half
way to the knee, showing every move
ment of the limb and almost of the
muscles.
Certainly there is an orgie Of I'M
dressing going on and it shows no
signs of abatfng. What will be the
end? 1t is difficult to see.
ct is curious to notes that this
BacchanaTian rage has fallen on wo-
men at a time when there is much in
the melting pot, 1T time of world
restlessness, of war abroad and a
constitutional crisis at home and So
cial misery everywhere.

FOR STUDY OF COTTON SEED
DIR. Soule Urges That Day Be Set
Apart in Georgia Public Schools.
Would Mean Much to State.

ATLANTA.-Dr. Andrew NJ. Soule,
president of the State College Of Ag-
riculture at Athens, in an article for
publication has suggested that day
be set apart by the commons schools
of Georgia this fall for the purpose
OF studying cotton seed, its by-prod-
ucts and their influence on commerce,
industries and agriculture.
DR.. Soule has long been ons of the
most enthusiastic boosters of the low
ly cotton seed, and to him as much
as any one else is due the credit for
increasing the consumption OF cotton
seed meal and hulls in the livestock
industry; the increased use of COM
merciaI fertilizer on the farm, and
best of all, pointing out to the farm
er the value of wise seed selection.
After pointing out what the cotton
seed means to the South Dr. SOule
writes:
THUS practically every phase OF
the livestock industry has been mate
rally benefited through the use of a
by-prOduct of the cotton seed, but
unfortunately We are not ftrfly alive
to the great opportunity which it af-
fords US, and we are only using it,
comparatively speaking, In an indif-
ferent way as yet, and thus failing
to reap the full benefits OF its unde-
/ velOped potentialities. Study and
investigation along this line will re-
| ward our farmers as much as any
| other direction. 1t will be a fine
thing to have a day set aside in ey-
cry school in Georgia for the study
of cotton seed and its, by-productS
and their influence upon commerce
industries and agriculture. Let ut
awake to the great possibilities which
a full realization of the merits anC
value of these by-prOducts have al
ready conferred and the future infu
ence which they may be made to ex
ert when all that is now known O.
may be discovered in the immediate
future is as generally disseminated
and as thoroughly appreciated as i
should be-"

The national department OF agri-
culture has issued a report on the
ravages Of the tick among cattle in
Southern states, and declares that ev-
cry cattle raiser loses one dollar and
twenty-six cents on every tick-infest-
ed hide marketed. The tick also les
sens the value of cattle on the hoof.
In one campaign against the pest in
Tennessee the farmers spent fifty
cents per head and thereby gained an
average of seven dollars per head in
the increased value of their cattle.
