lican naval construction and he criti-
cized the army reorganization bill. he
also attacked the administration ship
ping bill, the effort made to extend
independence to the Philippines, ana
made a plea for return to the pro-
tective tariff.
I'VE did not do very well in making
for harmony the last time we met,
the chairman said in his appeal for
harmony. 1.-The country has regretted,
let us forget-and make amends to
our country We did not divide over
fundamental principles, we did not dis
agree over a national policy. We split
over methods of party procedure and
I 'eferred personalities. Let us forget
the differences, and find new inspira-
ton and new compensation in an unit
ed endeavor to restore the country.
Republican principles are in a vast
majority in this country-when the
banners of harmony are unfurled. We
have seen the re-enlistment of those
who believe in Republican doctrines,
and victory has followed and rejoicing
has attended. No apology has been
asked, no foreswearing required. This
is not the time for recrimination, it
is the day of reconsecration.

Hasn't Worn a
Hat Since Last
March Is His

ATLANTA, Ga, July 22,-Cyril q.
Smith, Englishman by birth, Atlantion
by adoption, hasn't worn hat since
last March, and he never expects to
wear one again, unless something hap
pens to make it absolutely necessary.
And even then he doesn't propose to
load his Uranium down with a heavy
piece of headgear, which would stop
the flow of blood to his scalp and tire
his brain. If he has to, he will wear a
light little cap, which he can stick
away insideh is pocket when occasion
offers, and that will be all.
Smith got in the habit of going
around with his hat in his hand to be
more comfortable, and from that grad
uated into the notion not to wear a hat
at all And being an independent sort
of chap, he threw away the dome
piece and hasn't used it since.
Eyes, it's embarrassing, sometimes,
to have people turn their heads and
stare at you, but I've got accustomed
to it," says Smith.

ure to the unsettled weather condi-
tons and the uncertain reports as tc
the extent of the damage done by the
recent rains and heavy floods all over
the South, and particularly the cot
ton region That the loss is going to
be tremendously heavy is pretty gen
orally conceded, at the same time the
concensus of opinion is that, as usual,
the damage will be er-estimated.
AS to cotton, the price during the
week was fuctuating, but at the close
iof the market Saturday the condition
was slightly firmer. This was due.
perhaps, to more accurate reports hav-
ing been received There is a great
diversity of opinion as to what can De
expected of the cotton market, the
general opinion, however. prevails that
a good price is going to be had for the
crop in sight and it would seem in the
present light of conditions as they ex =.
list that this will be true. There are
those who insist that everything indi-
Gates big advance in the staple. This
opinion is based very largely on the
supply in sight and the increased de-
mand that is bound to come when the
European war is over When this will
be true, no one really knows. still the
feeling seems to prevail that the end
approaches. and business, especially
that as pertains to the cotton indus
try is beginning to get ready to adjust
itself to the changed conditions when
this is true.
Estimators inform US that by July 81
the world will have taken during the
twelve months preceding 1S,500,000I
bales of American cotton. OF this to-
tai, this years crop will have fur
nished 100000 bales, 100000 is the
carry-over cotton from the 1914 crop.
Without any change in export con-
ditions there is no reason to believe
that the world will need less cotton
next year than this. When the Euro
pean war is over. but on the other
hand it can be plainly seen that their
will be a much greater need, and that
the demand will, without doubt, be
very largely. In other
words it must be patent to ALL that
next year, whether the war closes or
not, the world is going to need at
least as much cotton as was needed
this year. namely 13,50O,O00 bales. The

Big Eagle Was

ATLANTA, Ca, July 22.-Represent-
alive Anderson, of Banks county, has
brought to Atlanta an interesting &C.
count of a monster eagle that recently
was seen by number of farmers near
the little town of Hollingsworth.
Flying very close to the ground, the
great birds wings were estimated tC
measure at least eight feet from tip tt
tip, and its appearance caused great
excitement throughout the country
side.
The farmers are somewhat afraid
the eagle, if it stays around long, will
play havoc with their young pigs and
lambs, to say nothing of the destruc-
ton of chickens.

question then arises where is it going to
be had. The crop is already far ad-
Nanced, a report has been made by the
government approximating a 10000
loco crop. This estimate was based on
the acreage, and the condition at that
time. Since this report disastrous
rains and floods have swept over the
country, and necessarily great damage
and loss to the crops will be sustained.
and which will of course cut down the
acreage and change the favorable esti-
mate of yield. This being true 1t is at
once seen that the crop cannot reach
the 100000 bale mark. Then where
is this 13,5O0,00O bales that the world
needs coming from?
The answer is, it cannot be had.
There is no left over from the 1915
crop, and the price has been steadily
advancing, which is an indication that
the supply is limited Experts tell us

that there bids to be next year a short
age of 100000 bales, if this is true
and it looks as though it might be, the
price of course must advance and that
largely. Some cotton men, and con
servatives ones at that predict that cot
ton may go to 20 cents pound.
From our viewpoint one thing is
sure, there never was time when ia
dications were more favorable for the
cotton grower as to price than now.
and there never was time when the
tendencies for holding on to the crop
were as justified as now. And. he who
holds on is bound to reap harvest for
himself and those with whom he
deals. The banker and the business
men should encourage and help thu
the farmer to hold his cotton. In doag
so help will be given all along down
the line. ~

FOREST DESTROYED BY FIRE

Tatoi played a large part In the his

established themselves in 4l3 u. g. TO
cut off the supply Of grain and food
stuffs bound into Athens from Eubea
with the purpose Of starving out the
Athenian population. And IN l04 Il. C.,
While Lysander blockaded Athens and
the Pireus by sea, the Spnrtans de-

The burned forest, laborioualy planted
and protected, was considered to be Il

What the Doctor Knows
.LIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
lath depends upon the condition of the
.idneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis Of the patients urine. lie knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten Thousand deaths in one
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention TO the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swsnp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. II is sold by every druggist in
bottles OF two sizes--5fc and $l0O
However, # ron wish first To test this
great preparation send ten ccats to DR..
