1t is gratifying to hear farmers de-
clare their intentions to hold fast to
their cotton until the price advances.
The general opinion is that the advance
will come, and that it will be worth
while advance, too. The world needs
every lock of the staple in existance
today aud will need more before anoth-
err crop is gathered than there is in ex-
istance. The mills will not pay the ad-
vance as long as their wants can be
met at present prices, but thousands of
cotton growers are holding on to the
last of their years crop until an ad-
vanc, comes and it is sure to come.

with the County Court OF this county
more than year ago to establish a
drainage district in Loosahatchie bot
tom through this county, embracing
practically ell the lands in this bottom
in this county. Owing to war condi-
tions the matter has been allowed to
rest and now is a good time to take it
up and push it to completion and so
bring to a productive state thousands
of acres of the ricaest lands in the
county. These bottom lands and others
like them are the best in the county
and when canals are dug to carry Off
the surplus water and make them tills-
BILE they will become the most desirable
and valuable lands we have.

Smoking in Church.

Smoking in church is Il Dutch Gus
tom, London Tit-Bits states. Dutch
men are such inveterate smokers that
rarely is one of them seen without a
pipe. He finds himself unable to de-
prive himself Of the indulgence even
for the short period of a church's serv-
ice. A similar practice exists in sew
eral churches in South America.
The practice is said to have been
prevalent in Great Britain at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century. At
one time smoking was carried to such
an excess in Seville cathedral that the
chapter applied to the pope for power
to repress the abuse.
In Wales smoking in church was in
dulged in as late AS 1850. In one
church the communion table stood in
the aisle and the farmers were in the
habit of putting their hats upon it,
and when the service began they light
ed their pipes and smoked, without
any thoughts of irreverence in the act

SOLAR PLEXUS SELDOM USED
Few Boxers Of Present Day Resort to
Punch Made Famous by Late
Bob Fitzsimmons.

An old-timer enjoying a ringside
seat at one of the boxing shows that
took place short time ago was
heard to remark: 81 wonder how it
is that the present-day boxers so rare
~ make use of the solar plexus punch?
I can remember several years ago that
this blow was often employed to bring
about a decisive victory"
The old-timer was right. Few box
ers nowadays strive for victory by
scoring a blow to the body. Like every
other profession or sport that prog
resses, the boxing game has also prog
ressed. The boxer of today knows that
he can get quicker results by landing a
solid. punch on his opponents jaw. Be-
sides, he does not have to fear getting
himself into cab" with the depart
ment Of public safety, as it rarely
| happens that serious injury results
from wallop on the jaw, while or
the other hand punch to the solar
plexus hurts, and hurts deep.

RETURN OF GOLF AND TENNIS
Championships Discontinued in 1917
on Account Of War May Be Re-
sumed This Year.

Look out for golf and tennis cham
pionships next year. That's the word
which comes from men close in touch
with the national associations, and it
may be regarded as final.
Championships were discontinued
for patriotic reasons, but as the sea-
son wore on in 1917 it was realized
that the matter had been a little too
wildly drawn and that the holding
of championship matches would not
be unpatriotic, even though some of
the best contestants in both sports
would be unable to compete on account
Of military duties.
The first definite action may be ex-
pected when the Southern Golf asso-
citation meets within a short time. It
is expected that this association will
plan for the 1918 season on an ante.
! war basis. If this is done, it is
quite likely the other associations will
fall into line.

Famous Little Rider Quit Delivering

Little Johnny McTaggart, cOnsid-

best jockey since the great Tod Sloan
quit riding the gallopers, began his /
struggle in the big work-a-day world
as messenger boy.
Johnny was born on Manhattan Is

as an A. D. T. Mercury he drifted in
to the racing game, where in four
years time he has worked his way in
to the jockey major league. Johnny,
of course, got his inspiration to. be-

and although Tommy is a great jock.
his younger brother has passed him
in the matter of riding winners.

victory, as he has done so many

Wilson, and plotting such horses as
the great Campfire, which won nearly
$4,000 for his owner last year, Nc
Taggart holds the hopes and fears
of those who follow Wilson's colors
every time he mounts a horse.
He was seventeen years old when
he first started out as a jockey, and
he scaled at 80 pounds. Today, with
four years added to his age, he can
make 1913 pounds and still be strong
; His first race at Belmont Park, will

markable performances. Johnny was
