GEORGIA SANCTUMS.
Beginning to Swing the Other Way.

LAGRANGE Graphic: We are no prophet
nor 'the son of prophet" but we feel jus
titled in saying that people should practice
thrift and conservation as never before.
The pendulum has been swinging one way
for the past five years, but it is now begin
ming to swing the other way. For long
time credit has been cheap and money easy
to get. Credit is not so cheap now and mon
etary conditions are getting more stringent
every day Commodity prices have. reached
the apex. Already there is decline all
along the line and a sweeping downrush is
bound to follow. To avoid any undue strin-
gency it is absolutely essential that the ut
most caution against extravaganza be prac-
ticed, in order that the backward swing may
not sweep US off our feet. The gospel Of
thrift and conservation should be preached
and practiced by all-for that and that
alone, means the continued prosperity of
our country.

TURKISH COTTON
Will Be Factor in Century to Come.
Fields Used for 400 Years.
From the Christian Science Monitor.


Though song and literature have given
the cotton fields of the south a place IN
the American mind that no other cotton
fields can ever hope to rival, those of the
Ottoman empire will probably increase
greatly in extent during the coming cen
tury and add materially to the worlds sup
ply of cotton
At least four centuries ago cotton was
being cultivated in the southwestern and
southeastern regions of Asia Minor, and
more cotton being grown than there is now
adavs The crop had fallen in 1865 to some
1000 bales, but in 1902 it had come up to
1000 bales, in 1910 it had reached 1O5, 900
bales and at present it continues to expand
as part of the modern development of Tur-
kew in Asia as a cotton country that IS
only in its beginning.
In the vilayet of Adams, for example,
the traveller may see the past and present
working, so to speak, elbow to elbow, for
on some farms the old-time wooden plows
are still drawn by the old-time oxen, and
on others steam agricultural machinery is
cultivating the land in modern fashion.
Here, too, the cultivation of American cot
ton is being introduced.
Even before the war Asiatic Turkey
stood good fifth among the cotton coun-
tries-America, India, Egypt and Russia
being the leaders-and now it is predicted
that Mesopotamia, watered by the Euphrates
and Tigris rivers, is on the way to becom-
ing in its production of cotton the Egypt
of Asia" In Palestine the Egyptian meth
cd of cotton cultivation is already proving
itself we'll suited to local conditions, and ir-
rigation promises new cotton fields else
where.

CHOOSING BED-FELLOWS.

From the Macon Telegraph
The ant-suffragists declare Kentucky is
first to reap the result of the Susan B. An
,thony amendment in that negro woman
has been given seat as a delegate in re-
publican convention in that state. In Geor-
gia, however, peculiar situation reigns.
The white republicans of this state have
about decided not to- let anybody but ne
groes be delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton-or rather the few white delegates are
not inclined to serve with the Johnson dele
cation.
The south will never shed many tears
over who sits in a republican convention.
Whether the republicans choose to sit with
negro men or. women is matter of taste
that is their own little. happy affair

The Other Fellows Sister.
From the Commerce Observer.

People are often heard to make suggest
i've remarks concerning young women whom
they see on the streets-but never when
husky male relative is present.
Generally there is no thought of injuring
the innocent object of these remarks. They
are born in thoughtlessness and uttered in
a spirit of idleness, but they carry sting
that lasts.
If men would confine their remarks to
such as they would approve if made regard
ing their own sisters, or such as they would
make in the presence of the father or broth
er of the girl, there would be fewer vicious
inuendoes circulating from lip to lip and
fewer heartaches when this idle gossip
reaches the parties concerned.
The Lord made tongues that they might
be used to good purpose, but the devil often
twists them TO his own evil way
And it makes a world of difference when
It is the other fellows sister.
Speak gently Of others and they will sell
dom sneak harShiy of YOU.
