MOTHERS ARE IDLE.

A Brooklyn preacher hands il
out in this fashion "Who can
doubt that mothers are off the
job when they allow their young
daughters to paint their faces
and to wear the sort of clothes
we have seen everywhere in the
last two or three seasons =? To
say mothers can't control their
daughters is even worse. It's an
acknowledgement of disgraceful
failure that no grown woman
should be obliged to make. We
are living today in a pandemonium
of powder, a riot of rouge. a
moral anarchy of dress. When
will women learn that the only
"aids to beauty" are absolute
cleanliness, proper food, proper
exercise. abundant sleep, fresh
air and an unselfsh character !?
Another matter on which they
are gone stark mad is the modern
barbarous dance. The new dan.
ces are but an indication that the
suspicion of immortality does not
trouble some people. And so you
will find girls who. there is every
reason to think, are good girls,
yet have become infected with
the easy-going spirit of the world
about them, and will participate
in dances that ought to make
them blush for shame. 1t is
beside the question for them to
sry that they do not mean any
harm, that it is all done in the
spirit of fun, and so on. John
son City Staff.

The pigs shown in the accompanying

pig was fed on a ration Of corn and
alfalfa hay; the smaller on corn alone.
Several litters Of weanling pigs were
equally divided into two lots. The
pigs were carefully chosen as to
weight and thriftiness. SO that each lot
represented a fair average Of the total
number of pigs used in the expert

l3,572,0O0 Bales for
1913, Says Authority

MEMPHIS, Nov. 1.-THE Commercial
Appeal estimates the growth or TINS
years cotton crop at 13,572OOO bales
These figures do not include Nnters
The estimate is based on the answers
OF correspondents from all parts OF the
belt. and represent careful inquiries on
their part into the size of the crop III
their sections.
The hot weather during late August
and early September brought about an
early opening of the crop and It is
probable that larger percentage OF the
crop has been picked to date than ever
before known.
The high price paid for the staple
has resulted in a rush by farmers 10
get their product to market there being
almost no holding reported. A few IN
stances of holding for higher prices are
reported from districts where heavy
rains damaged the grade and farmers
refuse to take the price bid for the low
grades.
These are very few, however.
Damage from frost was confined al
most exclusively to eastern Arkansas
where much damage was done in the
overfiowea territory, and TO the eastern
States, North Carolina having suffered
especially heavy loss in this regard.
The staple is said to be fairly good
in the east, but much damage has
resulted in the central and western por-
tons of the belt from heavy rains IN
September.

ABSENT
CONLEY'S CASE
IS DELAYED
Negroes CounseI Tuesday Will
Demand Immediate Hearing.
Attitude Surprises Dorsey.

The absence from the city of w. M.
Smith, attorney for Jim Conley, pre-
vented the calling of Conley's case
Monday on the charge of being an
accessory after the fact in the muir
der of Mary Phagan.
Smith declared before he left for
Macon, where he will appear as coun-
sci in a white slave case, that he
would fight every further effort to
delay the trial of 0onley. He said
that at once upon his return to At
lanta he would file a demand upon the
court for a speedy hearing for his
client and would back up this de-
mand with every resource at his com
mand.
Il have no objection to the holding
Of Conley as a witness in the event
that Frank is granted a new trial,
said Smith.
Says State Can't Hold Negro.
"They can hold him any reasonable
length of time, so far as | am con-
cerned. but | will not stand for his
trial being postponed from time to
time Conley is entitled to a speedy
hearing, now that the trial OF Frank
IS over, and he is going to get 1t I'M
less | am greatly mistaken.
He is not going to plead guilty to
any charge. He is not going to make
any confession. All this rot about
his having something more TO tell is
the silliest sort of rumor. He stands
on the story that he told at the trial
and he is ready to tell it again.
81 am wiling to agree with the So
lictor on a statement of facts as they
stand but | am prepared to fight to
came out Conley's testimony on the
the last any attempt to convict the
negro as an accessory after the fact.
The State can't touch the negro. The
law can not be interpreted to make
him guilty either of a misdemeanor
or a felony as an accessory
Dorsey Is Surprised.
The attitude of Attorney smith is
believed to have astounded Solicitor
Dorsey as greatly as it did the court
and the general public.
1t was generally believed that Con-
ley would be permitted to plead gull
~ to the misdemeanor charge and
thereupon would be sentenced with
out the calling of any witnesses or
the Formally of any further trial.
Il looked into the law in the mat
ter and came to the conclusion that
Conley was innocent and should not
be punished" was the way in which
Smith explained his stand.
He will return from Macon Tuesday
and will at once file his demand for
an immediate trial.
