{ fore this time, though ii must be ad- mitted that the subsequent importa- ton of slaves was directly the result of the development of the cotton in- dustry and the consequent increased demand for the raw material.
 Origin of Soil-Rohbing Policy.
 The downfall of the United States bank and the establishment of state banks caused another impetus to the industry. These state banks granted loans to finance the purchase Of cot ton lands, which gave such an unnat- ural stimulus to the growing of cot ton that for a time great fear was felt by some for the safety of the industry There followed, also. the private loaning of funds 10 planters, which loans were secured by the growing crops. The loaning or ad- vancing money to the poor planter whose crop perhaps had been fail ure the year before and who did not FossesS the funds to buy new seed, had 6 singularly beneficial influence and has given rise tO class Of mer- chants called factors, who regularly take it upon themselves to finance tEc growing crop. One adverse in- fluencc this system eXcrted was that it tended to exhaust the soil, as the small planter. being constantly in debt to the factor, feared to lose ms further credit by changing to some other crop than cotton; and the worn out farm in the South is still part of the stock in trade of the unscrupul- ous real estate promoter. "a When Cotton Was Gs Cents 3 Pound.
 The civil war and the downfall of slavery worked great temporary dam age to this rapidly growing industry. Tn March, 1861, the Morrill, tariff act was passed, levying heavier duties on imported cotton goods. This gave 2 new impetus to the industry ana tended to offset the first influence of hostilities, while the imposing or heavy war tariff for revenue purposes during the following year still further strengthened the position of the American manufacturer. Cotton pro duction in this year amounted to A. 5G0,0O0 bales, which sold at an aver age price of 31 cents pound Tn the year 1868, which was year or great prosperity in general business, production of cotton amounted to only 1,6OO.OOO bales, which sold at an aver age price of 67 cents pound. In 1864 the production of less than one million bales recorded the eXtraordl- narily high price of one dollar pound and fortunes were made in day in New Orleans. As the war drew to close the planters returned to their farms and the industry grad ually resained normal proportions.
 From this period on, and up to the time of the outbreak of the present war. the industry has kept pace with the growth of the country and the in-- creasing varieties of goods demanded by the ever-changing styles.

LeaD Year.

The custom which ordains that a woman nay propose marriage to a man in leap year dates back seven or eight hundred years. An act of the Scottish Parliament, passed about the year 1928, made it a crime punish able by fine, for. an unattached man to refuse to become the life partner of woman who had the courage to "speak ye mon she liked!"
 The custom in milder form is re- ferred te in a work published in l6O6 entitled "Courtship, Love and Matri- mony."
