System of Cotton Grades.

New York, Mar. 17.-Submisslon
to the nine type. system OF cotton
grading favored by the United
States government was acknowledge
ed to-day by the board of managers
of the New York cotton exchange
in the adoption of a resolution max
ing the government standard types
of cotton the basis for trading on
and after April /, 1915. The reso-
luton reads:
Resolved. That the government
standard types of the following
grades of cotton, i. e., middling fair,
strict good middling, good middling,
strict middling, middling. strict low
middling, low middling, strict good
ordinary and good ordinary, shall
be the basis for determining the
grade of all cotton for delivery up
on contracts maturing on and al
ter April /, 1915"
The % cotton grades heretofore
maintained by the New York cotton
exchange have been criticised Sc
verely in the South and it was said
by some of those in touch with the
situation that to-day's action was
taken to forestall possible antago-
nistic legislation by congress.
The nine grade system has been
applied by the New Orleans ex-
change for years and is said to SIM
plify the marketing of the product.
Conciliatory action was taken last
fall by the New York exchange, but
the concession did not completely
appease dissatisfaction in the ele-
ment which has insisted on COM
plete surrender, it is said.

DOGS AS BLANKETS.
Cutlery Workers at Theirs Find
Them Great Comforts.

Every visitor to one of the great
Paris stores will have noticed coun-
ters covered with table cutlery of the
characteristic French pattern
broad curved blades and horn or
black bone handles, excellent steel
and very cheap. Almost all this is
made at Theirs and by hand, says
Scribner's Magazine. But there is no
external sign of manufacture, and a
traveller might pass through the town
without suspecting a great industry.
The swift flowing Durolle supplies
power at the bottom of deep and
narrow gorge, on the steep side OF
which the apparently sleepy town is
built. At one story below street
level we came to the forges OF the
chief firm. Here, with extraordinary
uuickness and skill the knives are
hand fprged-blade, hilt and tang
from steel bars, then tempered one by
one. and two stories lower down, at
river level, in a long, dark, damp
cellar, they are ground. and it is the
method of this process, unique so far
as | know, that makes the industry
of Theirs worth a moments descrlp-
ton
The river turns score of emery
wheels about a yard in diameter, and
above each of these is narrow, ,slop-
ing platform six feet long and two
feet wide. Along each of these, flat
and face downward. lay a grinder,
man or woman, grasping blade by
the two ends and pressing it by the
whole weight of the body against the
revolving wheel just below. The
long row of stretched-out bodies gave
a grim impression of something be-
tween a field hospital and a NOR
tuary.
The foreman assured us that 1t

against the wheel by ones weight
than to sit and press by the force OF
ones arms. But to lie thus almost
motionless all day long in a dark
cellar, far below the ground level,
is about as dreary and unhealthy a
way for a human being to pass his
life as can be imagined. The place
itself can not be warmed, but to keep
at least a little heat in their bodies
and stave off rheumatism as long as
possible the grinders have adopted
the extraordinary expedient of train
ing dogs to lie all day upon them
dogs of all sorts and sizes. There
they lay, curled up on the backs of
their owners thighs, living hat bot
ties.

Talked and Sang Without Tongue

New York, March 23.-Thomas j..
Mcguire, veteran theatrical mana
ger, who lived and talked and sang
for 10 years without a tongue, died
yesterday of cancer. 1t was his love
for cigars that brought about the
loss of his tongue. He smoked from
25 to 80 cigars almost every day for
more than 20 years. Cancer develop
ed. One operation failed and in
March, 1904, Mr.. Mcguire greeted
his friends for what he believed was
the last time and submitted to the
operation in which the whole tongue
was removed.
Almost Immediately after the
operation Mcguire showed signs Of
recovery and within four months he
was interviewed upon the sensations
he was experiencing in his life with
out tongue. He wrote his answers
with pencils and pen and ink. Sew
eral months later Mr. Mcguire dis
covered that his power of speech had
not been destroyed.
He often said that he found sing
ing easier than talking. Mcguire
was born in San Francisco and was
81 years old.

DEPRESSED SPIRITS.
Everyone Has it Within
His Power to be Happy.

A celebrated French physician said
that "a mans liver is tile barometer
of his disposition.
Every man and every woman
knows that the cheerful smile is a
big factor in ones success.
Everyone should know that the
disordered liver is cause of ninety
per cent of human ills. Lazy over
worked livers are the prime causes
of headaches. indigestion, constipa-
ton and dozens of other ills.
But the inactive liver always warns
by coated tongue, sour stomach, dull
eve and even laziness. Heed your
warning and you insure happiness to
yourself and reflect it upon your as
sociates. Calomel used to do. Nod

way in CARSWELL'S LIVER-A1D

Thursday, March 26, 1914.

There is no movement on foot to
keep the people from hearing the
State candidates this summer, much
as some politicians would like TO
have it so appear. Any candidate
can arrange his own meetings ana
should do so. But while we are
about it, suppose we get down 10
facts. There never was a time eN-
cept during the campaign OF 1890,
when any considerable number of the
voters of any county attended cam
paign meeting. Two years ago the
campaign for governor was bitter and
sensational, and yet IN Bamberg
county not fifty per cent. of the Vot-
ers attended the meeting held mere.
1t was the same in every county, no
doubt, and many of those who do at
tend the meetings go for the purpose
of encourasing their candidate. Their
minds are already made up and they
vote accordingly. Very few votes
are changed as the result of cam
paign speeches. How can any man
discuss what the politicians are pleas
ed to term the issues in the short
time allowed each speaker. Fact is,
the county-to-county campaign IS
nothing but farce and should be
abolished.
