years in the Confederate army with

The farmers of our community
are holding their cotton to a man
for better prices and there sec ms to
be concerted action on their part
with the merchants to assist one an
other in this crisis. .Talbert and
Blackwell Bros. are paying ten
cents per pound for cotton on all
accounts. 1t is said it will take
about six millions Of bales fer this
country, so if we could fall on
plan of selling just half of this crop.
we ought to be able in that way to
get better price for our crop than
the present quotations. All guano
concerns ought to be willing to
give us ten cents per pound on con.
tracts as we bought their goods on
basis of l2 cts. cotton and they
should share some of the losses with
the farmers. He should not be
made to carry it all, because their
profit as mine was to come from

cause 100 much cotton has not been

WHAT LIGHTS HURT THE EYES

(From the Journal of the American Medical Asso-
 ciation.)
 Healthy people who live out of doors rarely com plain of the light. But one who has tried pho tography knows that outdoor daylight is many times brighter than artificial light, indoors out. When people suffer from artificial lights it is something besides the strength of the light. It is contrast that makes artificial lights unpleasant One who lives of the time in poorly lighted rooms finds it unpleasant go suddenly into bright daylight The sudden the change, the greater the contrast the dsa agreeable the feeling.
 Artificial lights, seen at night in sharp contrast with the darkness around them. always un- pleasant face. A light that varies greatly from instant instant dim and now bright, is very disagreeable and harmful the eyes. When light hurts the eyes, the first impulse is exclude it. But thought about the matter will commonly show some kind of contrast that might be avoided. Have the indoors lighted well as possible. In going out pause little the threshold to become accustomed the brighter illumination. Do not face bright artificial lights with dark background. Do not admit a streak of bright daylight into a room that is otherwise shaded but rather keep the windows wide open
 Use as steady a source of light possible and avoid all sudden changes of illumination. If dark glasses are worn it should be all the time; but only when the eyes exposed to the brightest light; that the contrast between this and the feeble light may be diminished. Have good light on what you look at, but do not let the source of light shine directly into your eyes. When light hurts the eyes, in of avoid strong contrasts 1t Is likely that the eyes strained or irrtated or in famed and the of the trouble should be sought out and removed Persistent trouble of this kind generally has persistent cause, like strain or the eyes, it is useless to treat the effect while the cause continues to keep up the trouble

WARS COST IN HUMAN LIFE

Of particular interest this time the records of killed and wounded in the recent European wars little squabbles in the Balkans" they are some times described. Octave Laurent has summed up these losses of human life in the account of his eleven months experience surgeon with the Bulgarian troops which has just been published in Paris. He writes for his surgical colleagues not to produce sensation
 Bulgaria, with 4,300,000 inhabitants, put half million soldiers in the field. Of these 53,00O wounded and 30 900 killed in the first and 16,000 killed and 62,000 wounded in the second Altogether 150 900 killed and woundedone third of the effective force of the army and per of the population. There death out of every four injured-a very high figure.
 In the last Balkan 150,000 both sides were killed wounded the field in a single month. Eighty thousand of these fell the banks of the Bregnalitza in the six days from June 30 July 5, 1913.
 Professor Laurent quotes an authoritative proph ecy to the effect that added to these figures would give the losses in a European which would line up two armies of the great powers There would be not less than and one-half million wounded and killed in month once the forces fully in the field The figures may be an exaggera- tion but they approved by professional ex- who has just had the latest possible experience
