"A DESPERATE THING

There has been a great stimulus to
marrying in this country, since, and at
tributable to, the war
Be it said to their shame, many
young men sought and obtained wives
in an effort to evade the conscript law.
Many others, deeply in love and appre-
hensive lest they would never see their
sweethearts again, married when hey
realized they had to go to the army.
Still others, after securing officers
places, and salary sufficient for the
support of two, offered their hearts and
hands to the girls of their choice.
Without actual figures at hand, it is
! estimated that fifty per cent. of we'd
dings during the last six months have
involved young men who were connect
ed in some way with military service.
A large percentage of these mar
riages will probably result unhappily
or will be marriages without results
Against these hasty, impromptu mar
RACES, the DouglasEnterprise inveighs,
1t says:
Marrying is too easy. 1t is
simple proposition, when it should
be a complex one. There are not
enough formalities; just buy IL
cense and go to it. There should
be laws enacted which would
throw more barriers in the way,
and marriage should not take
place Until all of them are sur
ntpnted and the applicants get
bv tligh and dry. This would do
away with runaways and sudden
affairs, which are a liberal part
of the divorce proceedings in our
courts
There is no question that marriage
Is taken too lightly. 1t Is usually di-
vested of all Of it's solemnity and is
treated in the nature of prank, an
adventure or casual occurrence. But
with the highest prices of all time pre-
yailing, and the manifest difficulty of
satisfactorily maintaining one, much
less two, on the average salaried mans
income. the young man should
think a long time before asking a girl
to become his wife, and the young
woman also should give the question
more sober study than most of them
do.
The old English philosopher was
eminently correct when he declared,
Marriage is desperate thing!" And
ii is more so now than it ever was be-
fore.

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Mechanical Cotton Pickers.

The Albany Herald says:
Since Eli Whitney perfected his
cotton gin, a device which revolution
lied the cotton industry and nightly
influenced world civilization, human
Ingenuity has increasingly bent itself to
zthe task of solving the difficult prob
lens which presented themselves to
inventive geniuses seeking to build
practical mechanical cotton picker.
First and last, hundreds of such
devices have been built Scores of
them have been hailed as unqualified
successes-ma machines that met every
test and were guaranteed to solve for
all time the labor problem of Southern
cotton fields. Inventors ito fortune
and to fame unknown have carried
their models to the Patent Office in
Washington, and more or less famous
patentees of other successful machines
have likewise tried to solve the prob
lens that barred the way to depend

man who invented the Lowrey round

trials, made in Dougherty county,
we're encouraging, but in the end it
failed, as had so many other devices
before it, to deliver the good
The latest mechanical cotton pick
err is one which has just been given
a practical test in Sumter county. 1t
is the invention of Carroll Stukenberg,
Iof Selma, Alabama, and Editor Man
gum of the Americas Times-Recorder,
believes it is a success. 1t is a ESQ
pound machine that is pulled along
between cotton rows by man power.
A small gasoline engine furnishes
power for the picking machinery, and
half gallon of fuel will keep the
engine running ten hous. Editor Man
gum witnessed thorough tests of the
machine last week. He says it picks
about forty pounds of cotton an hour,
leaves no lint in the boil and delivers
the staple into its receptacle free from
dirt and moisture. The machine,
equipped with one picking arm, will
SELL for $225 With two arms. the
price will be $25 more. It is announc-
ed that a hundred machines will be
built this year, and that they will be
/ of Southern manufacture.
We hope the Stukenberg machine,
ON which the inventor has been work.
ing for twelve years, will fully meas
ure up to the expectations of those
who have witnessed its trials. Many
failures of other mechanical pickers
will naturally be recalled as this new
machine is offered to Southern cotton
growers, but it hardly needs TO be said
that planters are anxious to be con-
vinced that the ultimate cotton pick
err" has at last arrived.
The labor problem on Southern
farms is becoming more acute every
year When cotton is opening rapidly
and laborers are few, the cotton farmer
with a large acreage is sorely put to
save his fieecy havest. A mechanical
picker that will pick" would save him
infinite worry and many dollars. 1t
is to be hoped the time is near when
he will be able to buy it at a reason

AUTUMN.

The beginning of autumn is usually
a gloomy season, with tickle weather
like that of today, but Indian summer
which is just around the corner, will
soon make the fall the most beautiful,
the most gorgeous period of all the
year.
Time was when the advent of au-
Itumn inspired phIegmatic poets to sing
of dreary days, when the immortal
Shelley in purest cadences chanted a
dirge over the departure of splendid
summer, time when natures russell
season was regarded by lyrical rheto-
ricians with foreboding and awe.
But the times are changing. Maya
zlne editors declare that more odes and
sonnets drift into their sanctums on
the vagrant winds of autumn than on
the precocious breezes of spring. And
those who failed to appreciate the
PROLONGED twilights and early, glim-
mering dawns Of summer will gaze now
with feasting eyes on the crimson and
empurpled sunsets of late September
and peer with edited sensibilitits into
the amethyst and opal depths of fall
skies In beds where peoples bled and
regal roses held their sway, they pre-
fer to see the balsamic chrysanthe-
lmums and the scented violet. ExhiI-
irating, crisp days make the red cor
Ipuscle surge swifter in the veins. They
delight to hear the bob-whites' whistle
at the dewy breath of dawn, when the
bloom is on the alder and the tasseI
Oh the corn. When Autumn, with
rGstling sandals shod stalks through
the land; when the south winds sigh
amid the needed pines in cool and
fragrant forests; when a veil of frost
on the grass is spread when diamond
stars CLEAN in curtained skies; when
the huge. red harvest moon scars
Through the spangled heavens, its pla-
cid journey as eternal as the kiss of
sand and sea; when the fields are
Snowy with cotton, and undulate with
lbillowy, waving grain, and hedges
glisten with golden-rod in bloom; when
lustral dawn illumines the trees clad
In FURNISHED red and gold-then, and
only then, hearts full and their con-
tent brimming over, the true lovers of
; the beauties and glories of nature are
, happiest. For them it is a season of
Igreat and beautiful repose = not of
sombre and cherries gloom. They
seek for the myriad tints, carelessly
unconscious of such things as hueless
sackcloth and spectral trees with rat
Ting limbs
They prefer not to see the crumpled
heaps of foliage stirred by eddying
gusts, but to look for those sturdy
leaves which, with fast thinning ranks.
still cling to the parent stem. To
them the gobble of the turkey is as
musical as the carolIing of birds in
verdant boughs, They would rather
see bursting barns than the green
poetry of the lawn where dandelions
famed, daisies blossomed, and fantis-
|, tic yellow butterflies lowered as if at
/, the end of invisible strings. To them
the satisfying smell Of new-mown hay
and the fragrant pastures are sweeter
than the intoxication Of June air,
charged with life, aroma and gentle
: incense.
/, For them Autumn is the happiest,
! gladdest time of all the year. And
Autumn is here, with its slow begin
ming, it's subtle change from summer,
: but here, nevertheless.
