sinc&ts advent in the commercial
wor1I
It's uses have broadened as produc-
ton increased until it has belted the
earth and covered the great zones to
which it is adapted.
Confined to narrow limit on the
southern border of the United States,
restricted in it's area of production in
the western world, this area still
produces IS per cent of the worlds
growth from which 65 1-2 per cent
find a market in other climes.
Having grown to be the largest
producer of cotton in the world, the
Southern cotton farmer enjoys dis
tinction not realized by and other en-
gagged in any line of agricultural pur-
suit.
Having this advantage and dis
tinction has inspired him for many
years with the hope of being able to
dictate the price for which his cotton
should be sold; but when offering it
for sale, he finds he is confronted
with system for marketing, the
control of which rests entirely in the
hands of those who buy; and since
the dawn of cotton culture, the buy
ing element has always been the
dominant factor.
This purchasing element, headed
by the cotton exchange of the world,
has established a system for buying
through which every bale finds a mar
ket. Connected with the exchange
are spinners, bankers, exporters, i'm
porters, manufacturers, spectators
and gamblers.
This. system is founded on theory
and practical experience.

in order to make any progress in
these higher grades. 1 am going to
suggest some supplementary readers
and recommend that ali the children
be given at least one period day in
these readers. | am ordering some
sample books on this subject and will
secure the advice of some competent
teacher in making selections before
asking that the schools order the
books. Reading is very important
part of the education, because with
out it you can make no progress with
the child in any other branch. I hope

of the teachers in this.

We take pleasure in referring the
reader to the farm department in
this issue. Mr.. Mills discusses the
handling of chickens in very intel
ligent manner, and the article con-
taius information that certainly
should be very valuable to the grow
er of chickens, and especially should
the article appeal TO the farmer read
ers of the paper. And we emphasize
the suggestion of Mr.. Mills that you
cut out the article and paste it away
for ready reference.

THAN WHICH NOTHING
is MORE BITTEF

The noon train of Saturday carried
with broken hearted young man.
He hailed from Richardson, Calhoun
county, and his grief was caused by the
fact that he had to part company with
beautiful collie dog that had been his
companion for over year. The dog
seemed to feel badly about it too. The
lad had come in from Calhoun to leave
on the noon passenger train as the
family was moving away. Most of the
belongings of the family had been sold.
Tut the faithful canine was retained.
When the boy boarded the coach he
was Informed that he would have to
have muzzle for the shepherd before
the dog could travel. The youngster,
taking a chance on missing the train
rushed to McIntOsh's hardware store
to purchase the all-impOrtant muzzle.
only to find that there were none to be
had in Spencer. There wasn't time to
manufacture one, so the unhappy lad
was forced to sell the valuable collie.
DIR. Il. F.. Edgell bought the dog and
will ship him to his home.
The lad from Calhoun caught the
train but he travelled with heavy

WILL HAVE FARM INSTITUTE

l.. l.. Ball, of Barnes Run, one of the
farmers most deeply interested in the
annual Farmers Institute in this cOun-
ty, has been in correspondence with the
state authorities concerning one for
this summer, and 1t is assured that one
will be held at Mt. Zion. the date for
which will be announced later.
Mr.. Ball has also discussed with the
state department the proposition of
furnishing County Agricultural Agent
but there seems to be little prospect OF
securing funds from the state to help
bear the necessary expense. The letter
from Director Hartley follows:

Wills Chasing Dempsey
Paddy Mullins, manager Of Harry
Wills, has about decided to take that
large brunette individual to ENGLAND.
where he will faunt CHALLENGES into
the faces OF any scrapper who seems
worthy Of that distinction. Mr.. Mul-
Inns expects that Georges Carpenter
will be an easy victor over Ted "Kid"
Lewis when the two meet in London
on May II, 1t is the present nlan Of
Mullins to take the negro heavyweight
champion to London and to be at the
ringside when Carpenter and Lewis
get together. There he will officially
begin his hurling Of challenges, the
most interesting one being aimed at
Jack Dempsey, whom Wills will agree
to meet, according to Mullins, at any
time, any place and under any financial
arrangement the worlds titlehoder
sees fit to impose.
Another challenge will be shot off
on tangent at Joe Beckett, England's s
horizontal heavyweight champion, who,
Mullins says, Harry Wills will agree
to meet on the same night he fights
Carpenter, if such an unusual thing
could be arranged.
There seems to be no chance what
ever that Dempsey and Wills could be
brought together anywhere east Of the
Atlantic. The largest purse that could
be offered in Europe for such a match
would be mere drop in the bucket
