Views of Mr. EhmOnds.
Mr. Richard H. Edmonds. the able
editor of the Manufacturers Record
who has the interests of the South at
heart at all times says:
Cotton is the greatest single asset
of the nation in the maintenance OF
it's foreign trade
Id III ~
the business activities of the South
than it is to the financial strength
Of the whole country.
1.-The cost of cotton production is by
the testimony Of the best informed
men, over nine cents a pound on the
average, and a very large production
Of the small farmers of the South can
not make it at that figure, though OF
course, some farmers make it for less
h that.
The conditions at the pre-ont are
likely to compel a large decrease in
the cotton acreage next year, and
should thuS insure the ultimate mar
keting of the stock carried over at
a very much better price than it
could be sold for if permitted to come
on the market freely this fall and
winter.
Everything therefore, hat tends
to strengthen the cotton situation is
vitality important to every business in
terest in the country"
Cotton is King.
These words Of Mr.. Edmonds
strikes at the root Of the matter anG
no matter what may be done or said
after all it will have to be admitted
that Cotton is King" and what af
affects the whole nation.
In regard to calling an extra session
Of the Legislature to consider thu

replied that he had nothing to say.
1t is we'll to note in this connection
that h Texas Legislature is now il

that State and Governor Blease ha
also called a special session of tn

Land of WheeIBarrows.

The wheelbarrow is the most COM
mon medium of transportation in
Shantung, China. The load is bal
anced about the wheel so that the
workman does not have to carry por-
ton Of the load, as Is the case with
the American wheelbarrow. Some
wheelbarrows have bet one push man;
some having pulling man as we'll;
some have one. two or three donkeys
to aid In the pulling, and some are
equipped with sail to obtain the
help Of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends on the load carried, the
maximum load being about ton.
Transportation by wheelbarrcw Is
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail in this prov
ince. Thus, the native methods of
land transportation, even with labor
receiving a wage less than ten cents
gold day, are costly, disproportion-
ately 30 as compared with the prices
OF other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens of thousands Of ,wheelbarrows
engaged in traffic. 1t is easy to an.
preciate what railroads will mean to
the development Of this densely pop
ulated province.

Fruit Candy.

Fruit candies require no cooking
and can he ensily and quickly made.
It fs best to nse confectioners' sugar,
as this may be morer easily nodded.
The sugar is moistened with various
fruit juices to obtain various colors.
The sugar should be separated into
as many portions as there are colors
and moistened with enough Of the
Juice to enable one to mold easily.
The mixture should then be formed
into little balls and rolled in granu-
lated sugar.
Grape Juice makes a delicate laven-
der-colored candy; orange Juice light
yellow; cranberry and curxant jellies
more or less diluted-different
shades of brown are obtained by mix
ing cocoa with the sugar before add
ing moisture. Cream and white Of
egg make the white candles, and the
yolk Of egg makes a bright yellow.
Any Of these f1avors may be used as
filling for dates. A layer Of chopped
nuts and raisins between two layers
of candy is good.

LOOK FOR TWO LOCOMOTIVES /

Two locomotives have been mislaid
by the Southeastern & Chatham Rail-
way company of England. The loss
"as not discovered until the stock
taking returns showed a balance Of
two engines on the wrong side. and
now Inquiries are being made up and
down the line for pair of dark green
locomotives. last seen at Ashford
Junction.
For one of the missing engines
there Is some excuse; 1t is compare
lively new and inexperienced, but the
other ought to have known better, for
1t has been In the service of the COM
pany for years. Stranded on some
lonely siding or "bunkered" in some
vastly terminus, the missing locomo.
uves are forsaken and forgotten,
while the rust Is eating into their
boilers.
1t has been limited that a thorough
spring cleaning might solve the mys-
terry and incidentally produce other
interesting remains.
The railway officials are undecided
whether the engines are lost, stolen,
or strayed, but they are confident that
sooner or later the wandering ones
will return, It may be with damaged
tunnels and tarnished paint, but with
their boilers in the right place.
