LEGENDARY ORIGIN OF TEA
Plant Grew From Eyellds of Buddhist
Priest Who Slept During
Meditation Hours.

Tea dinkers should remember the
legendary origin of the tea plant.
Daruma, a Buddhist priest, son of
a king, retired to Lo Yang, in order
to pass five years in prayer and medi-
tation. Like st. Anthony he was
tempted and eventually he fell asleep
during his long hours of meditation.
On awakening he cut off his offend
ing eyelids that his eyes might never
close again, and flung them on the
ground, when they were Immediate
ly transformed into the first tea
plant. 1t was for this reason be-
lieved that tea was beverage sent
from heaven to repel slumber and en-
able good Buddhist priests to keep
their vigils. Aud tea will certainly
keep you awake.

Post Office Information

To insure the prompt dispatch of
mail matter patrons of the Post
Office are requested to place stamps
on all mail before dropping same in
the Street Letter Boxes.
Dropping coins in the boxes to pay
postage causes delay as the coins are
liable to drop out of boxes, making
it impossible to know who paid post
age and who did not.
To avoid all reasons for delay pur-
chase supply of stamps at the
Post Office and put postage on your
mail matter.

COTTON MARKET STEADY.
WILL BE LITTLE TO SETTLE OPIN-
ION EITHER WAY.
Bcarish Sentiment Probably Will be
FOstcrcd by Bcarish Estimates on
Ginning During the Early Part OF
Week.

New Orleans, Jan. 19.-The coming
week in the cotton market promises
little to settle opinion strongly one
way or another. Up to Thursday the
trade will be guessing over the census
bureau report on ginning, after that
the spot situation will probably at
tract the most interest
Bearish sentiment has grown re-
Gently and probably it will be fostered
by bearish estimates on ginning dur
ing the early part of this week. Stu
dents of the statistics of the market,
however, have pointed out that this
pending report can hardly hold any.
thing in it upon which hard and fast
opinions may be hung by those who
are open to conviction, unless de-
velopments have taken place in the
belt in regard to the winding UP of
ginning which have not been re-
ported.
This coming report is important
because it is the last of the regular
semi-monthly reports by the census
bureau, but no sooner will it be out
of the way than the trade will go to
figuring on the final report Of the sea-
son, which will not be issued for some
time. If the ginning returns are large
this time the bulls will claim that
there is nothing left to gin, while, if
they are small, the bears will contend
that the final report Of the season
will support their claims 1t is very
likely, though that the figures will
furnish many traders with new basis
for crop estimates.
The spot situation will be watched
by every one. Were it not for the
ginners' report, it would probably be
the main influence this week. Bears
expect spots to weaken, to some ex-
tent at least in sympathy with the
lower future market, but bulls are
confident that cotton is in strong
hands and that ,hc strength of spot
owners will ultimate ly prove to be
the means Of bring ing about a re-
cOvery in the future market.

MEMBER OF CABINET.

with Whom He Has Conferred MAY
Later be Selected.

Princeton, y. j., Jan. 1S.-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson reiterated tonight
that he had made absolutely no deci-
sion as to the personnel Of his Cabinet
and added that, thus far, he had not
consciously conferred with any pro-
spective candidates.
Il would not do that" he said, "un-
til l had finally made up my mind to
pick a man. 1 have not consciously
consulted with any future Cabinet
members"-and added as an after
thought, though l might have con-
suited with some men whom I might
subsequently choose"
Mr. Wilson again expressed his be-
lief that it was unlikely any Of the
men whom he selects for the Cabinet
will decline to accept the portfolios
offered them. 1t had been suggested
to him that many men were loath to
give up their business to enter the
Cabinet. He said he realized the
sacrifices that were necessary some
times.
"A cabinet position, too" he re-
marked, lis very responsible one.
where you do not get very much credit
for your success and catch it hard for
your failures"
He anticipated little delay. however,
he said in getting acceptances from
such men as he might choose for the
various portfolios, and said that not
until he had made up complete slate
he had picked.

How to End Pistol "Toting." "

L. j. Butler, writing to The Atlanta
journal, holds that, to effectually put
stop to the carrying Of deadly weap-
ons concealed, it will be necessary to
make a change in the constitution of
the United States.
He points out that, when that con-
stitution was written, most of what is
now the United States was inhabited
by saVages and it was necessary to
allow and guarantee to civilized peo-
pie the right TO bear arms
Now that the savage has been
banished and We boast of our Chris
tian civilization is it necessary TO re-
tain that clause in the constitution
Why not amend it by still allowing
us TO bear arms but prescribe the
size or length of barrel that should
be made or imported into this country?
l would say that the minimum should
be sixteen inches long" the writer
argues.
II realize that the courts have de-
cided that under what they term 'po-
lice regulation each state has the
right TO protect l'fe and property.
Suppose that Georgia should pass a
law forbidding the sale OF any hre-
arm within her borders with a barrel
less than sixteen inches long, would
that help the cause one whit?
think not for the reason that under
our interstate commerce law they
could bc shipped in from other states
and We would hc powcrless to help
ourselves. In my opinion the only
saf" and sam" remedy We have is a
! change IN tho United states constitu-
tion that would pat AN states an IN
equal footing auj N,liyyc that if con-

SEABOARD AIR LINE INDICTED.
Charges i'm 13 Counts Violating Inter-
State Commerce Law.

Macon, Ga. Jan. 1S.-The Seaboard
Air Line was indicted by the United
States grand jury here today on thir-
teen counts for an alleged violation of
the Interstate commerce law 1t is
charged that the railroad secured the
delivery of coal from Oliver Springs
and Briceville, Tenn. to Helena, Ga.
for s1.36 per ton, which is s1.09 less
than the legal rate.
The Government charges that the
Seaboard would have the coal con-
signed to Williams, Ga. a point on it's
own line near Savannah. and upon
receiving the coal at Helena from the
Southern would pay that railroad
S1.36 for its proportionate share of
the haul, and then keep the coal at
Helena for distribution TO nearby
points, never carrying it to the desti-
nation as billed.
