It is good to practice what you preach, ’out be careful what you preach and make your sermon short. AVe pay more for labor in this country than is paid in any coun try in the world and labor pays more for rent, food and clothing in the United States than it d^es any where else. What the end will be no one knrtws but every thoughtful man anticipates the anxiety. Observers in Japan evidently feel that the movement for the political equality of men and women Is pro gressing steadily, and unsensationally toward the participation of women in the political life of the empire. As one observer says: “It may be too much to expect that the day will soon There are several old shacks return when woman will occupy the standmg~arfnnwl town that. Ate. Jjace In the councils of the nation that could very easily get along with out and, their passing would im prove the appearance of things. It would he a good move on the part of the city authorities to see what can bo done in the way of ridding ourselves of these eyesores. i _ - b'-v'u tuing it humanity In general Instead of senseless bick ering with or belittling of others, would now and then make use of an approving remark to the relative or friend who is no longer as young or as clover as certain other of her ac quaintances who Just at present are basking in the limelight. Perhaps an over-scrupulous Individual will stamp’ this as all nonsense, and emphatically declare that it isn’t really honorable to stoop to flattery, but when all Is said and done, how much better and wiser It Is to pass on only those views or opinions that will make a bit hap pier (and incidentally a shade braver) the persons whom we meet either In a business way or socially. she did at the time of the Empress Jingo, or even In the Helan era; but the .{Japanese woman Is beginning to evince an active Interest In her possi bilities, and every year is becoming more conspicuous in social and na tional affairs.” We hear considerable complaint from some farmers and business men that our cotton market is low- err than that offered in adjoining towns. While we haven't made a comparison of the markets, we are sure that some of the statements being made as to what cotton is bringing chew here are extrava gant, and that most of this talk of “ foreign *1 inflated prices is hearsay. Clinton has always main tained a good reputation aj^a cot ton market and few towns have of fered higher prices than those of fered here. But if the~charge~is true—jt’s a bad indictment against our -town. Nothing will hurt a town or community more than a depressed cotton market, as com pared with other places, and no factor will drive business elsewhere as quick as this very fact. Big business is headed this way this fall and our merchants and various business enterprises have prepared for their customers’ wants by putting in the largest stocks they have ever offered. With cotton on the incline as at pres ent, big business is sure to come and a strong cotton market is very essential if we are to reap the bene fits to which we are entitled. If cotton is bringing better prices in neighboring towns than right here at home, of course no one can be blamed for selling his Olihton cot ton elsewhere and we might as well Mok this business proposition in the face, if the accusation is y < true. ProspAnty is headed our way. It is unbusinesslike to let any of it get away from this section and find its way to some surrounding town. This section of the county and ad joining couaeties is Clinton’s feed- In various states the movement !• spreading to fight the high cost of liv ing. Investigations which definitely place the blame are well enough, but they are worse than useless if they are not followed up by definite and effi cient action. The people demand this action and they will demnpd also a reckoning If relief is not afforded from fast growing Intolerable conditions. •/ For Women and Misses NOW have on display the New Fall Creations. As it is customary with this Store, our Shoes are carefully modeled according to the newest ideas. They repre- I*-. cers and it is expected that bun ds of sportsmen will gather In the r AiiV >Ual city for the occasion. Matters importance to every sportsman will discussed and a future plan of ac- n by the association will be decided , M ,on. A state charter will probably be secured as soon as organization Iilans have been completed. The purpose of the Association will be to co- rate with the state game wardens in an equitable enforcement of the Jaws; encourage the protec tion and propagation of all kinds of fish and game; establish free game preserves within the state; encour- age breeding and development of bet ter hunting dogs and to promote an appreciation of sportsmanlike methods in angling and hunting.
