A Word or Two About Cotton

Some estimates made by private concerns during the last two weeks suggest a total crop exceeding 12,00O, ,000 bales. The estimate of Q crop nearer 11,000,000 bales, based on government ginning and picking reports, would seem more reason able.
 For instance, in south and central Alabama, where the boil weevil has been prevalent, ginners' reports are only 25 to 35 per cent of last year. The crop in the northeastern DOT tion of the state is fairly good; in the remainder of the state, moder- ate to very poor It looks as if Alabama's total crop might be ex- pressed in six figures.
 Holders of cotton should not lose their heads when high crop esti- mates are sprung on them, but should continue the policy of mar keting their cotton slowly during the constantly recurring periods of good demand and advancing prices, and not assist in depressing prices by forcing sales when users tenn porarily withdraw from the market.
 You can hold or sell your cotton to better advantage when it is fin our warehouses. Our low charges ' for insurance and storage will en- able you to carry it indefinitely, and we are ready at all times to assist you in negotiating a loan on it at reasonable rates. Our certificates, giving exact weight and grades of each bale, will enable you to sell on a rising market without losing time. and the facilities of our organ ization in assisting you are at your call. Ship your cotton to us without delay.

From the AIlantlc Montnly.
 No strong hand has vet been laid Gin a literary sense) upon our industrial life. It has been pecked at and trifled with, but never treated with breadth of full ness.
 Here we have probably the most strik- ing social contrasts the world has ever seen; racial mixtures of bewildering com plexity the whole flung against impress sive backgrounds and lighted from a thousand angles Pennsylvania is only slightly spotted" on the literary map, and yet between Philadelphia and Pitts burg nearly every possible phase and condition of life Is represented.
 Great passions are at work in the fiery aisles of the steel mills that would have kindled Dostoyefskys imagination. A pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night marks a limitless field for the earnest fictionist. A Balzac would find thousand subjects awaiting him in the streets of Wilkes-Barre!

Briggs of Massachusetts. who introduced them to American breeders Its uti1itariau qualities were recognized by breeders, and within 10 years it was competing strongly with the Barred Plymouth Rock for favor as valuable all-arodnd general pur- pose fowl.
 Today the White wyandotte is used exclusively by many large hroiler plants and egg farms, and big prices are paid for fine specimens. Being rapid growers, the chicks are sold ex- tensively for broilers. It carries more breast meat, of finer quality, and has smaller bones than other breeds. malS- ing it more profitable because of less
 
 as helping to care for the chicks. or assisting in asserting and packing the eggs for shipment MT. Kel1y's place is purely an egg farm; Mir. Piez sells table eggs, hatch ing eggs, and breeding stock; MT. Ware has mainly an egg farm, and does GUS - tom matching, and Mir. Gerhart engages in table and matching eggs, breeding stock and baby chicks. Mir. Kelly has two acres devoted to poultry; Mir. Piez has five acres; MT. Ware has four and
 
 one and one- half acres.
 These are living examples, and I could name several more, but what l have given Is sufficient to prove that there is a good living in a poultry plant if n man vii personally apply himself to the task, will not engage in a too extensive scale, and will use the same good, business methods he would be compelled to employ in any other vocation.

The boy that loves to play with tools is very apt to lean towards the me- chanics; the boy who is a lover of books and spends much of his time in reading and study. is drifting on to a profession, and the boy who loves poul- try delights in their care, and always wants to spend his time with them. Is destined to be a poultryman.

 Many tire at the sameness of the work in raising poultry. It is the same thing every day in the year. Poultry respect no holidays.

HELD UP BY FAKE HIGHWAYMEN
John Escridge Given the Scare of His
Life Few Nights Ago.

John Escridge, the barber in Ken
nedy & Brim's barber shop, had the
scare of his life a few nights ago.
John has best girl across the branch
outside Of the city limits and on the
night in question dressed up in his
Sunday best and walked over to pay
her a call. AS he was returning
home two young men who are pat
rons of the shop and who knew of
Johns intended visit, disguised them
selves and when John reached the
bridge commanded him to throw up
his hands, which he very promptly
did. John saw visions of Jesse
James, RUDE Burrows and all the
terrors of the highwaymen, and he
began to beg for his life, saying that
the war was on and he did not have
a cent, but he said Here, gentle
men, take my overcoat and watch;
they are all have of value" After
giving him good scare the young
ruen let him know that they were
wo of his white friends out for a
title fun, and he went his way re-
ioicing, but John has not yet fully
recovered his composure, and cold
:hills creep over him when he thinks
of the narrow escape he had.

THE U. ID. C'S. HOLD AN ENTHU-

The Glory of Georgia Was Magnified
BY Each Number on Program,
Which Thrilled All Present.


An unusually large number of the
members of Mary Brantley Chapter
u. D. c. held an enthusiastic meeting
at the home of the president on Fri
day afternoon. The session was call
ed for two o'clock that it might not
conflict with service at the Methodist
church. AS there were few matters
to be considered the regular order
of business consumed very little time,
the hour being given largely to the
program, and it is the generally eX-
pressed opinion that it was one of the
very best of the many splendid stud
les the members have enjoyed dur
ing the year. Report from the treas
urer showed the chapter to be in a
healthy condition financially. Mrs.
G. w. Dozier brought an encouraging
report of the work of Children of the
Confederacy.
Georgia" was the fruitful theme
that held the intense interest, and
every heart thrilled with patriotic
pride as the glory of our great state
was magnified by each number on
the program. ''The Industries of
Georgia" were named in response to
roll call. Georgia of Today" by
Mrs. E. T. Johdan, was wonderful
record of the progress made since the
war between the states. "a Quiz on

Day. was well arranged by Miss
Bridges and was so full of thrilling
information that it was a revelation
and delight to each one present.
