Col Roosevelt told the students of Princeton, in a lecture before them last Friday, that he had seen the plans of two empires now in- volved in the European war, to capture both New York and San Francisco and hold them for heavy ransom that would cripple our country and give funds for the enemies to carry on the war. Wonder if those empires submit ted those plans to Teddy for ap- proval, or were just showing them to tourists as curiositles, or is the Colonel in the employ of some gun factory to get up a war scare to sell more guns or is he what he used to call others - a nature faker" or a natural faker.

A Letter of Thanks.


 To The Citizens of Franklin Go.
 1 take this method of thanking the people of Franklin County for the honor and trust that they have placed in me by electing me as sheriff and collector of Frank lin county for two terms. can not express by words my kind feeling to all at large. l want to say that, while we are all human and liable to mistakes, 1 did my best to give everybody a fair deal and to treat them all alike, and if 1 failed to do so, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. But l feel sure that while my acquaintance now extends all over the county that l have made quite a lot of substantial friends and 1 know that there is no one who appre- ciates their friendship more than 1 do and at any time that l can serve them 1 will be ready to do so.
 have tried to attend to the -office in a way which would be creditable to myself and to the people of Franklin county.
 It is with pleasure I turn the office back to the people and to my successor in office, Mir. J. D. McIIroy, your present sheriff. Ihope and trust and believe he will make the people an efficient officer.
 While in the service as sheriff for four years l want to say to the public that the brother officers with whom 1 have served begin ming at my first term, Judge Jeptha Ii. Evans, Atty, ]. D. Arbuckle, the present attorney, J. D. Benson, Hon. Judge J. V Bourland. Judge Falconer. Judge W. G. Stockton, Robert Crocker. W. 1. Agee. A. NJ. Nixon, John Rosson, Judge Wm. Weaver, A. N. Hill. Nj. V. Waterfeld, H. (. McElroy, and all township officers and not excepting Green Kuy- kendoll, our faithful janitor, l considered them ali to be honor able men and worthy officers and our association together has cer- tainly been pleasant to me. l was personly acquainted with each one of them and have learned to love them all, and with all the rest of Franklin county people 1 wish them one and all success and happiness.

who charged that Liverpool in- terest maintain an artificial cot ton market and even when the Liverpool market is open do not permit trading unless prices are in their favor.
 Direct importation to Man chester by the manufacturers who require it is urged by Mr. Temperly.
 It is evident from the above Associated Press dispatch that there is need of a combination of the cotton growers of America and the English spinners. A movement was made by the spin ners sbout six years ago to buy cotton from the Farmers Union. They sent a committee to Mem- phis to meet the delegates of the union but they were unable to do anything because the union could not control the cotton. The grower must be able to protect the spinner by being able to de- liver the cotton contracted for or the Liverpool exchange will make it hot for the spinner when they are forced to go back to them for their supply of new cotton.

OriqIn of Knitting.

Knitting is Scotch invention of the fifteenth century, and Scotch knitted stockings soon found their way to France. A guild of stocking knitters, too. was soon formed, with St Fiacre as their patron saint. Hand knitting was not long left without machinery as rival, for it was as long ago as 1889 that William Lee invented the knitting frame.

Culture.

Taking culture in the individual as meaning a development of all the fac ulties it follows that the most cul- tured nation is that in which there Is the greatest number of all round men. And if this be true, we must at once realize how hopeless is the task of attempting to estimate the extent of culture in various nations.

Cotton Market

says: Tt is to be hoped that, for their sakes as well as ours, the planters will get through without serious loss. The call for cotton will come in due time, and it is essential in the general interest that it should then be forthcom- ing in sufficient quantities, which could hardly be the present case if the growers were ruined or very severely hit at the present time."
 The World Record has prepar- ed a table, based on figures of the International Cotton Feder- ation, which show that about pne-half of the cotton produced in America for the year ending September 1, 1913, was used by the countries now at war. Great Britain, Germany. France. Aus tria, Russia, Belgium and Japan are represented as consuming 7,534, 934 bales out of a total of IA, 503, ,757 bales. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Sweden. Den mark and Norway. which took 1,192, SS7 bales of cotton in 1913, are also more or less seriously affected by the war.
 Cotton spinners at Manchester were much disgruntled by the action of the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' associ- ations in running on short time. For time serious labor troubles were threatened. But condi- tions in the cotton market have now become so bad that complete suspension of cotton manufact- uring plants seems imminent un- less the government finds some way to offer relief.
 Spinners are indignant over the continued closure of Liverpool cotton market and have inspired efforts to effect, direct business relations between the growers and consumers of cotton, thus eliminating the Liverpool cotton dealers. The Manchester Guard ain and other prominent papers located in cotton manufacturing centers, while admitting that such plan might be desirable, say it would require a long time to handle cotton direct because of the great amount of machinery required to take care of it proper iy and the necessity of careful grading which Liverpool dealers have afforded.
 Speaking of the proposed eli imitation of Liverpool interests from the cotton trade. the Cotton Factory Times says: Cotton planters in American have al- ready considered the necessity of protecting themselvesa gainst the Liverpool interests, and it is reported that they have decided that no cotton shall be planted next year. This is of course meant as warning that if their stocks of materials are not taken off their hands now greatly en- hanced price will be charged for it later on.
 Opinions may differ as to whether some of the present dis location of trade could not be avoided, but it is daily becoming fmore clear that there are too many conflicting interests at work in the business, which makes it very difficult for trade to move, and those interests seem bent on blaming each other for some portion of the present unsatisfactory situation.
 Thomas Temperlv, of Bolton. in a letter on the plight of the cotton trades charges that Liverpool cotton lords" are sup ported by English banks in keep ing the Liverpool cotton markets
