REBEKAH's LODGE REVIVED

On October 18th Special Deputy
Grand Master Geo. H. Colby re-
organized the local Lodge of
Rebekahs, which was installed
here in 1884.
At the time OF its organization,
the Odd Fellows had no Gene
terry, and the ladies branch Of that
great organization had nothing
more than its social features to
hold it together, but now there is
a great work for the Rebekahs.
The objects of the Rebekah
Lodge, is to work with the Trus-
tees of the Cemetery or GENE
%teries, as the organization is not
purely for one cemetery: no more
than its relief work which is not
especially confined to Odd Eel.
lows, or their families.
The following are the old mem
bers: Mrs. Peel, Mrs. j. M. How
ell, Mrs. Carrie Kltchell, Mrs. A.
Bernstein, NJ. Andersen and H. G.
Kitchell.
The new members are Mes
Luckett, M. N. Parish,
Kitchell. Wilson, White, Gossom;
Messrs. j F Bobbitt, j B Wilson,
IS G Wilson, w NJ Peteet, D H
White, John Dahmer, Geo D Cas-
sity, G 6 Mitchell, G H Gossom
and R c King.
M Andersen was elected Noble
Grand to finish out the term SO
that the ladies might become
acquainted with the work of the
Rebekahs, while H G Kitchell was
elected Secretary and R C King
Treasurer.
It is to be hoped that ladies in.
terested in the cemeteries viii
take advantage of the Rebekah
organization, as it offers a sys.
tematic line of work in that way.
Any unmarried lady above the
age Of 1S years, Of good mora,
character, may become members
and take active part in the work.

OF Gonoanlan Helm Of Ala
bama heFetoday. In q statement
urging fb.t Southern cotton own
ers stick q the plan Of holding
their staple Tor 4 high price Heflin
said the mills Of this country will
demand three-fifths Of the entire
crop this year.
Ten million bales will constitute
the entire cotton production Of
the country this year, according
to Helm. OF this the mills will
take 100000, he says, leaving
only 100000 to be divided be-
tween export and munitions man
ufacture. Helm pointed out that
since August last year we have
exported almost as much as the
entire crop this year will aggre-
gate.
The European nations are al
ready paying fabulous prices for
secondary products Of cotton.
such as dry batteries and picric
acid, used in making explosives,
he said.
And cotton for smokeless
powder and other explosives will
be in greater demand tn an ever
before" said Congressman Heflin
Cotton prices are bound to be
higher, higher than at any time
since the war between the states.
The European nations are going
to pay and ought to pay 20 cents
a pound for cotton before long
Germany is already in the South,
ern market, buying and storing
cotton"
Congressman Heflin said the
holding movement is getting q
grip on the South and there will
be no backsliders to let the price
barrier down below what i
proper. He expressed doubt
whether there will be sufficient
to supply the spinners Of the
country.

'Why cant we feed ourselves?
Can't we raise pigs and steers,

Has Been Called for and Delay
Would Invite a Rebellion.

Tokio.--Official announcement was
made by the foreign office Saturday
that Japan had requested China To
postpone the project for re-establish.
ment OF monarchial form Of govern
ment.
The foreign office statement lays
emphasis on the assertion that IL Yuan
Hhi Kai maintains the status quo and

will be completely restored. but ex.
presses the fear that the move to form
"a monarchy will seriously endanger
the interests OF the powers. especially
those OF Japan, who stands In spe-
cial relations with China"
II IL understood that Great Britain.
France and Russia have made similar
representations.
The foreign office statement de-
clares an undercurrent OF opposition
to q monarchy exists among the Chi.
nese, and that 1t is far stronger than
has been imagined. In fact, the for.
eign office says, a feeling OF unrest
Ii spreading In all parts of China.
Emphasis Ia placed on the strong
desire OF Japan that peace shall pre-.
vail In the Orient. especially in this
era OF war among the people Of the
Occident. II is said that the warning
is couched In solemn, but not threaten.
ing, terms.
China's reply, made to the japanese
charge d'affaires at Pekin by Foreign
Minister Lu Cheng Hsing, is said to
have indicated that the government

would not delay action II they decided
In favor Of return to the monarchial
form. Delay In crowning Yuan. 1t was
