THAT VILLAGE BARBER SHOP
Dreamer Of Whom the Years Have
Taken Toll Holds It Wildly In
His Remembrance.

10 the barber's soothing snip, snip,
snip, and the gentle tug Of the comb,
dreamed Of the barber shops of my
boyhood and Of Clarke Parker's IN
particular. Clarkie's shop was in Ly-
ceum Hall block, one flight 'up-a huge
room, with single green-upholstered
oarber's chair between the windows,
where you would sit and watch the
town go by below you. The room
smelled pungently Of bay rum. Bar
per shops don't smell Of bay rum any
more. Around two sides were ranged
many chairs and an old leather couch.
The chair arms were smooth and black
with the rubbing Of innumerable hands
and elbows, and behind them, mak;ns
dark line along the wall, were the
marks where the heads Of the sitters
rubbed as they tilted back. Nor can
l forget the spittoons-large, shallow
boxes, two feet square-four of them
full OF sand On third side of the
room stood the basin and watertaps.
ana beside them a large black walnut
caDlnct, full OF shClTcs. The shelves
were full of mugs, and on every mug
was name, In gilt letters, generally
old English. Those mugs were a
town directory Of our leading citizens.
My fathers mug was on the next to
the top shelf, third from the end on
the right. The sight Of it used to
thrill me, and at twelve l began sur.
reptitiously to feel my chin, to see IL
there were any hope Of my achieving
mug In the not too distant future
From The Atlantic.

Andrew d. White tells us that
homicide is the most rapidly growing
OF serious crimes in this country, and
that 1t is increasing more rapidly here
than In any other land Four years
ago he gave to the world some figures
covering an eight-year period. He
found the number Of murders a year
per million population to be: Canada,
3; Germany. As; England and Wales.

Taking up the subject OF lynching.
mr.. McMurdy submitted figures show

years the yearly average has been re.

ernOrs' Conference.
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 19.-Former
Senator j. l.. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, referred to by Gov. Cole l..
Blease Friday night as "the best post
ed man in the world on the cotton
situation" thinks the southern farm
er can close up shop next season and
make money.
Gov. Blease declared Senator Nc
Laurin has made a more exhaustive
study Of conditions than any other
man in the country. He will speak
for Gov. Blease in South Carolina's /;
plans for relieving the situation arc
asked for at today's conference.
"The Aldrick-Vrceland act has
proven failure and has not accom-
plished what the sccmt&"v Of the
treasury led the people OF the South
to expect when the cotton congress
was held at Washington in August y
said Senator McLaurin last night at
the Chisa. "The new currency act
Is soon to become effective and the
South can take advantage of it
through state bonds to the extent OF
taking up the distressed cotton and
providing for the needs of the domes-
tic mills at 10 or 12'ccnts pound.
IF this is lone it would fix bor-
rowing value for cotton at about
eight cents, which would be sufficient
to liquidate the expenses incurred in
raising the crop.
The trouble will not be eliminated
however, until the farmer learns the
lesson of diversification. A partial re-
duction of cotton accrage next sea
son will not fill the bill If the cot
ton acreage is only partly reduced
there will still be surplus and
prices will sag and hit the bottom.
AT recent conference in New
Orleans Harvie Jordan, quoting Hes
ter, said the visible and insisible sup
ply Of cotton on Sept | was 6,23S.OOO
bales. The present crop on hand acr-
cording to a federal government IA
port, indicates 100000 bales. My
own opinion is that it will not be un-
der 100000 bales. TO the pres
ent crop and supply On Sept. L. add
100000 bales raised in India, Egypt
and other foreign countries, which
would give a total of $4,000, 900
bales.
THE consumption for the world is
estimated at 14,S00,00O, while the con
sumption during peace time is esti-
mated at 21O00,O0O bales. Therefore
there will be 100000 to $4,000, 900
bales to carry over in 1915. This YOU
will see that partial reduction of
next years crop will have the desired
effects.
I'VE in South Carolina are strong
ly in favor of the total elimination
OF cotton next year The farmer and
planter should arrange some way to
hold his cotton, raise corn and hogs
and keep down his expenses and in
ris spare time go fishing. At the end
of the year he Will find that he has
made more money, great deal moro,
than If he had raisde more cotton for

great deal more than if 1915 crop
had been raised. And he will have
