MISTRESS OF THE SEAS"

Mistress of the seas" has been
the proud title of Great Britain since
that October day in 1905 when Lord
Nelson gave has life at Trafalgar to
establish her supremacy.
No nation has dared to seriously
question her right to that title al
though American frigates did compel
her to cease her practice of stopping
American ships to impress refugees
from her'own land three-fourths of a
century ago.
But in the pride of her title and
the size of her ships she has been
able to maintain her title without
fighting until the present war. That
her great fleet must now be put to
the test seems certain.
The greatness of the English navy
dates from the battle of Trafalgar,
which takes its name from the Span
ish cape off which it was fought. Eng
land was at war with Spain and
France. The allies gathered SO ships
and five frigates to oppose the 81
ships and four frigates which flew
the British coloTs.
Compared to the great fleet of
steel and armor plate which today
represents that flag, the array would
be no more imposing than a bevy of
fishing schooners.
1t was two years after the battle
that Robert Fulton took his first
model for a steamship to Liverpool
and forty more before steam naviga-
ton became general.
At Trafalgar the battleships depend
ed upon their broad sails and the kind
ness of friendly winds. The command
er must be navigator as well as fight
er. The contest was fierce and costly.
The allies lost 19 of their ships be
fore surrendering and gave over the
French admiral, Villeneuye, as pris-
oner. Nelson himself was killed.
With the victorious fleet as a start
and by keeping abreast of progress
and invention England has held her
lead in naval power.

NOT HURT BY WAR.
Cotton Growers Of Oklahoma Need
Feel No Alarm.

Oklahoma City, Aug 13.-Neither
producers nor purchasers of Oklahoma
cotton need be alarmed because of
the closing of the cotton markets on
account of the European wars, accord
ing to the views expressed today by
a number of prominent dealers in Ok
lahoma City. True it is that the mar
kets of the world insofar as cotton
is concerned, are closed on account of
the European wars, but Oklahoma
cotton men are not worrying about
the situation, and they advance rea-
sons to support such attitude.
On account of the lateness of the
Oklahoma crop, the cotton of this
state will not begin to move toward
the markets before October l. The
movement will not be under normal
headway before October 10, the deal
ers say. By that time, they confident
ly believe, the market at Liverpool
will be open, and the English ships
will be able to handle the movements
Fortunate for Oklahoma at this par
ticular time, the cotton raised here
IS of such character that a greater
part of it goes to the Liverpool mar
ket. Oklahoma cotton is said to be
'in good" with the English mills, and
therefore will be moved more readily
than cotton from other sections.
Insurance Down.
The dealers say that England with
its mighty fleet should be able either
to bottle up" the German fleet in
the near future, or sink it. In either
case the English vessels would be able
to move the cotton. One of the
local cotton men says that the Eng
lish government is confident that its
ships will be able to handle the ship
ments to English ports. The govern
ment this week reduced the war in
surance rate of cotton on ships flying
under the English flag from five per
cent to four per cent and further
decrease is expected.
Cotton growers in south Texas have
become alarmed over the situation.
Their cotton is ready for shipment,
but no markets are open. Shipping
vessels are not available, farmers are
unable to sell their product and the
usual purchasers of the staple are
helpless to aid the growers. Relief
is being sought from congress to the
farmers of that section, in which
movement the Oklahoma cotton men
are rendering assistance.
Could Hold Cotton.
One prominent dealer said the Ok
lahoma growers, with the aid of their
bankers, would be able to hold their
cotton for a few months this fall if
conditions demanded such He thought
it would not be necessary for them to
call upon congress for help. He was
of the opinion that the wars would
be over and the markets of the world
opened by October l.
The south Texas cotton crops have
been ready for movement for several
days. Those of Mississippi and Geor-
gia and in that section will be ready
for shipment in two weeks.

Quaint Character Deals Justice.

Carter county has character that
is amusing and not wholly bad, al
though he has figured in many es-
capades more amusing than vicious.
and has been the source of many Il
laugh from those who AIow him.
He was ~ one time justice OF
the peace since statehood and even
now hears several applications, such
as mayor of ---- and chief Of police
of-ditto. All of which he bears
modestly and permits his friends to
"go as far as they like"
1t was while dispensing justice as
a Squire that he broke into the lime
light with a vengeance, and made
1.-The law west of the Pecos" look like
three disfgured dimes. Also, it show
ed that he is possessed of goodly
streak of sporting blood, and is will
ing TO take a chance, even thocgh
Justice may be jeopardized thereby.
One day there was culprit
brought before him with charge OF
hog stealing registered against him.
Now, stealing a hog in Arkansas and
some parts of the old Indian Terri
tory side of the state is looked upon
as a near-capital offense, and the cul-
prit seldom evades Justice when the
fact is once established. The evidence
in this case was all against the de-
fendant when the j. p. proceeded to
pronounce sentence in picturesque
language, winding up with an assess
ment of ten dollars in cash and thirty
days in durance vile. The defendant
was hOrror-struck at the verdict OF
the Judge, and demonstrated most
vigorously at the excessive fine. The
J. p. listened to mis- argument until
he had finished and then took his
breath away by proposing to throw
dice with the prisoner to see wheth-
er the fine and Imprisonment would
be doubled or whether he should go
free
The prisoner, having all to gain
and nothing to lose, figuring that his
time was worth but a trifle, and the
county would have to feed him any
how, agreed to the terms, and the
bones were produced.
Our friend the ]. p, had the first
crack at the cubes and after three
throws, the best he could do was
three treys and a pair of skies, and
handed the worries to the prisoner
The prisoner in the case took the
bones, and with a peculiar flip rolled
out four fives the first dash out of the
box, and the mayor OF - was DUN
founded as well as chagrined at the
outcome of the matter, but according
to promise the defendant was per
mitted to go free.
In speaking of the matter ettor-
wards, IL. j 7 stated that this was
the only case ever tried in his court,
and shortly afterward he retired from
office to the most peaceful pursuit of
farming, and the only time he is ever
seen in a hall of justice now, is from
the wrong side of the railing.

Who Was the Mother of
David?

This is the question given out in
the Ceredo Congregational Sunday
School which has excl ell grea' IN
,erest among our people, AMI the
prize OF book vas awardtd to
Miss Alberta Wrrgh, for hnoing the
answer. Many SAID II could not be
found, and the Bible dictionaries
said it was not given; but here l.
lhe answer given in the Bible:
David doubtless had a mother and
she wa' a good woman, as testified
by David in the SO Psalm. The names
of mothers of good or bad men are
generally given in the Bible. In
first Chronicles 2:i3.l6 we find
Abigail and Zeruiah were sisters of
David and daaxhters of Jesse. In
9 Samuel 1928 it Is said that Aba
gail, sister to Zeruiah, was the
daughter of Nahash-and so NahasL
waa also the mother of David.
There is no proof that Nahash
was but another name tor Jesse,
aud there lis reason for giving the
name of Dsvid's mother, because OF
David's relationship TO Joab.
Again 1T is said Nahash was a
mans name, but, not always, as we
lind In Luke 3:27, Jt Gamma, general.
iy woman's name, was here man,
SO now we find the name Willie Civ
en- TO a girl, as Miss Willie Jones
SO, We find Nahash was not only
the mother of Abigail and Zeriah,
his sisters, but also the mother OF
David.
