PROMISES TO LIVE ON

.Waycross, Ga, Feb. Mrs. S. F.
Hall has about come to the conclusion
that she will not end her life, and as
soon as she is strong enough to leave
the hospital ward of the county jail
she will go to her home in the city.
She attempted to end her life Monday
by jumping into the city drainage ca
nal. Later, when it was intimated the
condition of her mind would be the
subject of inquiry, she said just be-
cause she tried to end her life it was
no indications she was crazy. In con-
versation with the sheriff she virtual
ly promised she would give up her eff
forts at se1f-destruction

THINK THAT COTTON WILL
GO BACK TO TWENTY CENTS

Atlanta, Ga, Feb Sin spite of the
war and the diplomatic rupture with
Germany and the break in futures on
the New York Cotton Exchange, cot
ton is going back to 20 cents and stay
there or Whereabouts, for the simple
and fundamental reason that the
worlds demand, even excluding the
Central powers, is greater than the
worlds supply.
At least, such is the opinion of Full
Ter E. Galloway, of Lagrange, Agri-
cultural Commissioner J. D. Price,
and other authorities on the subject
who are advising the farmers not to
become panic stricken by the present
furry in the market, but to hold all
the spot cotton still in their hands un-
til the price goes back.

There was marked increase in in
terest evinced by applicants that caus-

added to that resulting from an
nouncement that during January, 1873
men were forwarded to various army
posts through this station.
There isn't doubt that the feel
ing of patriotism latent in many
young men will be stirred" Captain
G., M. Heidi commanding the station,
declared. ut is but natural that re-
cruiting should increase.
There are hundreds of persons &C
ceptable as recruits who are working
in mills and factories for about $50
month. Enlistment in the army
would open up an indefinitely greater
field for them. And I believe they
will realize this"
