HELP TEMPERANCE.

The campaign for eontribu-
tons to the anti-saloon funds is
very laudable, and everybody
should assist. Possibly the low
ly standin life many occupy is
due to terrific waste by some
member of the family in the past,
even back two or three genera
tions, in subservience to King
Alcohol. Therefore, to uplif'
the coming generations do your
part in annihilating the curse by
helping those who are striving tc
destroy it. We have no quarrel
to pick with those why desire TO
use alcohol, but simply dislike
the abuse of it, but when you
parley with g snake it is danger
Gus, so help in the most noble
cause before the nation today.

TAATCoTToN GIN PROJECT.

We are always pleased to hear
of any town in Sequachee valley
making progressive move, and
this is the greater accumulated
from the fact that we no longer
expect anything for this place.
After twenty-five years wait
this fact has at last reached our
ever-hopeful- for something-bet-
ter mind.
Just at present Jasper has an
opportunity to secure the loca-
ton of cotton gin and baler,
which will mean a great deal to
the county, if secured; more so
than any Dixie Highway ever de-
vised, and, as we understand it,
the matter rests solely with the
farmers. If they will take up
the matter of cotton-growing
and guarantee a sufficient acre
age, we understand that the
plant is assured
There are thousands of acres
in Marion that will hardly grow
corn nubbins, that will produce a
fair quantity of cotton, and very
poor land with acid phosphate
fertilizer will make a good show
ing.
We want the farmers of Mar
ion to take up this crop. This
county is situated so far above
the bell weevil belt, which is be-
ing abandoned by southern plant
ers as far IS cotton growing is
concerned, that it would seem
the proper idea to try cotton
growing here. The price is so
high and is likely to remain as
high for a considerable period,
that it ought to look very tempt
ing. And the cotton seed is as
valuable as the cotton fibre it.
self.
We hope Jasper gets this en-
terprise started. and that her
progressive business men will
get together and organize a cam
paign to get every farmer in
Marion pledged to as many acres
in cotton as he can plant, and
carry other crops sufficient for
his farm needs.
And then possibly..Sequachee
farmers will enjoy a little of the
prosperity resulting from the in
creased growth of Jasper.
This place expects nothing, but
possibly a few dribs of business
may come to it from the energy
and progress of other places.

FOREIGN GOODS RAMPANT.

Everybody must have noticed
that a considerable per cent. of
the goods offered for sale Christ
mas bore the legend Made in
Germany.
And there is a little history
about these goods which is worth
considering.
Before the outbreak of the
world-war New York warehouses
were filled to overlooking with
foreign-made goods from toys
up to every conceivable article,
made under low living conditions
and brought in under a demo-
cratic tariff revision, which al
lowed their entrance at a low
rate of duty in competition with
American labor producing SINH
lar articles. Probably never be-
fore was there such an enormous
lot of imported articles stored,
and it was done anticipating the
election of Mr.. Hughes, when. it
was believed, the tariff would be
restored and then, of course, these
articles could not compete in
price with those of American
labor and pay the higher tariff
expected.
Hence it was planned to have
these goods on hand, duty paid,
with which to flood the country
after Mr.. Hughes election.
BE, by a flrke unforeseen
the women O. California Mr..
Wilson was re elected. and the
sale of the goods dragged. Then
the war broke out. and German
made goods were not in demand.
In fact lots Of people positively
would not buy them
Now the market seems to be
loaded with them, and Of course
the prices are top notch. Enor-
nous profits must be accruing.
and the profteers ar e being ag-
reeably fattened. Every dollar
of these goods represents dollar
taken from American labor, for
it represents in a great measure
child labor, which Americans
condemn.
tbs a tough dose for American
labor, and is the more exasperat-
ing from the fact that it repre-
sents labor taken from Americans
and loss of revenue from importa-
tons under low tariff, a double
blow to the American home.

With reports from organization
leaders in every state giving assur
ances of success, the campaign to
raise funds to carry on the Prohibt
ton law enforcement and extension
work of the Anti-Saloon League open
Friday in six southern states.
The campaign starts January Is
the day the National Prohibition
Amendment becomes effective. and
will continue one week, under the di-
rection of Edward Young Clarke, OF
Atlanta. The total quota for the six
southern states is $2,975,0O0, divided
as follows; Mississippi, 100000; Flor
ida, $350,000; South Carolina, $685..
600; Alabama, 100000; Georgia,
sG50,000: Tennessee. 100000
While reports from every section
are encouraging and indicate success
for the campaign, we must take moth
ing for granted" said Former U. S.
Senator W. r. Webb, Of Bellbuckle,
chairman of the executive committee
for Tennessee.
Fighting Prohibition
"The unceasing efforts which have
marked the organization work pre-
liminary to the opening Of the actual
campaign for funds must be continu-
ed right through to the last minute
There must be no relaxation any
where"
The same tireless energy that has
marked the successful fight to drive
from America the legalized sale of IL
quor must continue through this
movement to provide the sinews Of
war with which to enforce the laws
that have banished the traffic and
to continue the attack upon 1t in 9TH
or lands where 1t has taken foothold.
THE liquor element boasts that it
has billions Of dollars with which to
defeat Prohibition; that II it cannot
break 1t down In the courts 1t will
make prohibition so offensive and the
laxity in enforcement so notorious
that the people will demand a return
to the legalized saloon.
Hardest Fight Ahead.
Advised by able counsel, led by
Elihu Root, they hope to make condi-
tons so intolerable and the violations
so fragrant that the people of the
country will become Disguised with
the situation and will prefer liquor
sold openly by legal action to the I'M
licensed reign of the blind tiger and
the 'bootlegger.'
mo thinking man can doubt that
Prohibition right now has its hardest
fight ahead of it. We have legislated
the saloon out of business, but it is
making a determined fight to come
back The liquor forces, driven to
the last ditch are making the hardest
fight of their lives Renewed at
tacks now are being made in the
courts to nullify the Prohibition
laws.
While these legal moves doubtless
will be checkmated by the able coun-
sci representing the drys, it cannot be
done without great expense. II we
are to see the work Of years upheld
and vindicated we must provide the
funds with which to bring 1t about
We must more than match dollar for
dollar with the liquor traffic-we
mmwe provide sufficient funds to over
yMslm them at their own game.

Weather Indications.

The following is given in the Bos.
ton Globe as means Of foretelling the
weather: "A gray, lowering sunset
or one where the sky is green or vel
lowish green, indicates rain. A red
sunrise, with clouds lowering later in
the morning, also indicates rain. A
halo occurring after fine weather in
dicates a storm. A corona growing
smaller indicates rain; growing larg.
er, fair weather. A morning rainbow
Is regarded as q sign of rain; an eve
ming rainbow Of fair weather. A
deep blue color of the sky, even when
seen through the clouds, indicates fair
weather; a growing wilderness. an APP
preaching storm. Fogs indicate set
tied weather. A morning fog usually
breaks away before noon. Unusual
clearness Of atmosphere. unusual
brightness or twinkling OF the stars
indicate rain. The first frost and the
last frost are usually preceded by
temperature very much above normal.

Midget Stores in the East.

In the "souks," or markets, of Nab

the Samaritans, the stores are so small
that the customer stands outside to
examine the meager display of Euro.

Here are rows Of silversmith shops,
where the artisans work crOss-legged,
producing from crude silver elaborate
ornaments for the peasant women.
Then there are the coffee shops, the
street in front blockaded with men
sitting on low stools, slipping the thick,
hot beverage from tiny cups and
smoking long red-plped, bubbling mar
ghiles as they gossip and play game
of "tawia." There are also the sweet
meat vendors, from whose stalls pro-

The First Playing Cards.

Early playing cards were called tar
OTIS or tarocchi. They differed good
deal in various localities. Packs close
~ resembling them are found today
in parts Of Germany and Switzer-
land which are not much freqnented
by travellers. In cards Of this kind
the emblem Of death Is numbered 13.
The notion of Ind luck attached to
that number is Of oriental origin. A
tradition relates that Venetian,
perhaps Marco Polo. or his father
Niccolo. first brought cards from
China to his native city, Venice. Italy,
which is the first place in Europe
where they were known.
