Wilson viii be the aominee Of The

ether than Mr.. Roosevelt will rep
resent me republicans, and ~. J.
Bryan will be a worker IN the ranks.
according to the latter while he vas
in Atlanta, while on his way to Gov
ington to deliver a lecture.
Mr.. Bryan was emphatic in re-
pudiating the suggestion that he
would run as tae candidate Of the
dry interests" He declared that
prohibition in a few years will be a
national issue and that the demo-
cratic party will he arrayed against
the saloon. He believed, he said,
that he can be of more service as a
worker in the democratic ranks
than as a deserter. AT present."
he said, 1T is probable that a ma
jority of the democrats of the ma
ton would vote against prohibi-
ton, but the sentiment is growing
in the party. Of the eighteen pro-
hibition states, ten are democratic,
and Florida and Texas are likely to
be added within a few years. It is
only a question of time when the
majority of the democratic party
will be arrayed against the saloon,
and | expect to contribute what
ever | can to the securing Of this
victory for the home against the
liquor interests. I do not know how
long it will be, but the result is inn
portant enough to justify the fight"
DO you think the republican can
didate will be Mr.. Roosevelt?n Mr..
Bryan was asked.
No, it seems to me that the prob
abilities are against him. The ten
dency among the republicans
seems to be to get together, and Mr..
Roosevelt is not a get-together
candidate" Mr.. Bryan said.
What will the republican issues
be-"
THAT will depend a good deal on

Roosevelt, for instance, would re-
quire a different platform from Mr.

him to get in the a and go with
them. DR.. Buck recognized Kan
ouse. He returned to the house
apparently to get his medical satch-

approached the car Kanouse OPEN

Kanouse shot only one time. DR..

is THERE AN OPPORTUNITY?

lifeFe Is al opportunity Iof young
men who learn the cotton business,
In the south, there IS raised from
twelve ID fourteen million bales ct
cotton annually. Every bale has TO
be cfassed from one tie four times,
seldom by the same man TWICE. In-
LIE tue last two years, there mas
been ne training schools along this
Eine consequently the supply Of
men for this work IS somewhat Inn
tied. The faefs r we losse thou
sands Of dollars each year for lack
of trained men, Again, there are
beng erected in this country thou
sands of warehouses, and every
warehouse requires from two to
three men to grade cotton. The
young man trained scientifically is
certainly more desirable than the
one who has learned by guess.
It is an undeniable fact, every
young man of the South Land
should know the classification, pres
ervation and handling of cotton. 1t
is our leading product and always
will be. The worlds production is
about sixteen million bales annu-
ally. Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi,
Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia
supply eighty-five per cent of the
total. More money is lost each year
by the farmer on the marketing of
this product than all other crops
combined. The man raising it
knows nothing about marketing it,
and is therefore at the mercy of
the man doing the buying. Some
buyers will grade your cotton
Strict Low Middling, and pay you
accordingly, when in reality, the
cotton offered for sale is middllng,
and you are entitled to the differ
ence in price, which is no small
amount. Can you see the neces-
sity of knowing how to grade your
own cotton? In four weeks time
we can prepare you to say in one
year more than double the cost of
your learning, which is only $500.
The question has been asked.
How do you teach Cotton Chasing
SO SUCCESSFULLY This has but one
answer, ubt one meaning. We be-
lieve the time has come when the
South Land needs to know more
about her leading product; when
the farmer should know more about
marketing the crop which he labors
| SO earnestly to produce: and which
, means meat, bread and clothing to
his family. To this end, we have
equipped our department that efh-
cient teaching may be done. Our
teachers understand CHASING, buy
ing and selling from a practical
standpoint, anG are expert in the
! training of students. Our heae
teacher of this department is con-
stantly in touch with the Agrieul-
tural Department at Washington
which lends much to his strength

that 400. 600 more votes were
