For the information of farmers and ginnera the Charleston Cotton Exchange has had printed and is distributing resolutions on the stand ard weight and measurements of a bale of cotton, in accord with the leading exchanges of the country. The resolution, which is in the form of a circular letter, follows: “Charleston, S. C., June 6, 1913. “To the Cotton Planters and Gin- ners: J “We earnestly beg your attention to the following important matters that are of vital concern to your in terest, and we urge you to act in ac cordance therewith, promptly and fa vorably “Where as, serious loss to the pro ducers of cotton in the cotton grow ing sections of the South has been caused by Irregular packages, infer ior and insufficient covering and careless handling; and “Whereas, It is understood that the Congress of the United States is contemplating investigation and pos sible legislation with the object o f improving conditions; and “Whereas, it is to the interest and saving of a large aomunt of money to our cotton producers to adopt bet ter methods for the packing, baling and size and weight of a bale of cot ton; and "Whereas, at a general conference of cotton interests held at New Or leans, March a, 1913, representing the cotton exchanges, compass asso nations, railroads and steamship lines of the North and South Atlan tic and Gulf ports ha\e a lopted re solutions that a standard glnhox be ?7 inches by 3< Inches, that the standard w ight per bale be approx! nia'ely .'.Do pound- and furthermore ttiat tf any bale dots not show the density of .

J., for murder Wednesday six Chinamen sedately shook their heads and said calmly that not by the Rising Sun had they any hand in the death by bullet wound in the head of Ho W r hy laundry proprietor. But this was trancendently true— they had been the guests of privilege at Ho WJiy’s suicide party They had as by the honorable custom ordain ed in the writings of Confucius sat and watched their brother kill him self—“honorably.” they said, shot himself in the head and “honorably” die. There are other, older Chinese methods that he might have used. There was the exit of the silken cord and there was the noble method of the golden disc. They were amused at the police chief of Atlantic City and his detectives standing around him, had never heard of the method of the golden disc One took a thin disc of gold and placed it on his tongue A swift intake of breath and the disc slipped swiftly back and closed his windpipe and that was the end, a most honorable end, much used by mandarins Ho Why had been in this country twenty years.

Aull of the Newberry and News says he met Senator Tillman on the train recently and he was much pleased to find him “as strong and vigorous as he was, both physically and men tally. His mind is strong and vig orous and there is much of the old time fire and snap about the eye". All the talk about his mind being weak is unkind and besides unfound ed. He can’t eat the big meals that he once could but otherwise eeems entirely well.” In commenting on the above the Columbia Record says; Death, the universal conquerer, has had some notable contests and many notable victims, but seldom has he been baffled and held at bay in a contest fought out before the public eye and on a world arena so conspicious as in the case of Senator Tillman. No doubt the senior South Carolinian’s fight against the grim monster after he had called and giv en the word to go on the last dread journey will go down in the medical records as one of the most notable in the-professional records. Three years ago Senator Tillman was Mrhken, and for wfH'ks lay helpless in the shadow of death, as i writer in Hie New York Sundav Sun recites: "His friends and fam ily lost hope His colleagues f^Xpect- ed to be summoned to his funeral Tiie newspapers prepared their obit nary sketches, making ready for what s* eni-d tlie inevitable This .v as bat k in 191 0 Hut the S< nator ref||^..d to yield The same grim determination that mark**-! his [wditlral career lei him 'n make another fight Aril tie won again .i* he had won *o many t;ni• • when the o.iils agamM him were not *<> great The methods by which the Veter tn senator waged and won hi* fight were original and heroic in keep irig with hi* always resourceful ami strenuous career He won by a *>* tern of physical eier< »« in aid of nature that la s mple but ha* proven marvelously effective In hi* case And n the proce** he ha* no' only got rid of the dangeroua fatrv matter that accumulate* with age, but he ha* gained thirty pound* of goo) hard muscle ' The Senator is tvuck in Washing ton t tie chairman of a powerful »en a t * ■ rotnru.t'ee aide to walk ten miles Your Horse Aould have the beat of attention and cars during hit natural Ufa.

Whati vcr may be our private opin ion of the gentleman, we are com pelled to admit that it 1* beginning to be apparent to the innocent bv- Btanders of whom there are a few Htill left in Atlanta, that Colonel Thomas H. C< Ider is either innocent of the charges brought against him, or that he is shrewder than the gang who brought the charges. Whether from superior virtue or superior wit, Col. Felder is beginning to get visibly the best of it. This doesn’t merely mean that he can out cuss and out write detective Chief Langford. It is more than talk..The gong has sounded at the end of the first round and Mr. Felder has retir ed to his corner with the points in his favor. The first one Mr. Felder put over was the affidavit from the Gentry boy saying that the stenographic re port of the dictagraph conversation had been tampered with, and that part of it had been faked, as Felder charged. The next thing he put over was in calling the bluff of the police de partment which had talked about ar resting him for attempted bribery. They planned the arrest it is said, but lost their nerve at the critical moment. And the last thing he put over w T as when the grand jury formally re turned a no bill against him, clear ing him if the charges made by De tective Lanford that Mr. Felder car ried a pistol and had tried to draw it on him. 7 i Ihe Non*en*e.

Th# Bishop Is mor« than half light. financial depression has been simple hi,d fata!. Washington waited until the panic had begun, until confidence and credit were undermined .and then turned the Fnited States treas ury over to Wall street, while the stock-gamblers salvaged what they •ould from the wreck. The Wilson policy is to suppress the panic at the start and not at the finish. Nothing could have been more timely than Secretary McAdoo’s an nouncement that he was prepared tc issue $500,0110,000 in emergency currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act. Wall street recovered imme diately from its hysteria and its bankers, with characteristic patriot ism, began to denounce the secretary for his “absurd offer’’. The fact is now pointed out with a wealth of de tail that there is plenty of currency- in circulation and that no emergency currency is necessary, but forty-eight hours before Wall street was point ing out with an equal wealth of de tail that one of the disturbing ele ments In the situation was the neces sity that would exist in a few weeks for immense sums of money to move the crops. The truth is that there was plenty of money all the time, and except for the condition of the European money market, there was no reason whatever for Wall street’s attack of nerves. Proving it is the most im portant service that the treasury has rendered by its offer of% emergency currency. Wall street’s hysteria was rapidly inoculating the entire coun try, and the Wilson administration has stopped the nonsense before It became serious. All of which goes to .prova that “Wall -baa a mvster In the White House at last, and it is beginning to know it* raster's voice,” aa The Columbia Record says • d.iv *nd net nn!> du bar ! * .rk bu‘ fi * mind in some r»-*p«-<-* I* i !e*r*-r ind tru'-r In it* pro<c*N*-* than ••.••r («• C>r•• 1 ili in t ni«Nin to !•■! para > *!* kl!! tin-.' the senator :» quoti-d a* • aving 1 proposed to ■•ell and • ’ay h*■ r*■ aVw yr»r* longi-r H«* did NUh by a simple plan of ph>*nal culture, the rule* for which he gives as follow* '1 Hefore getting up in the morn Ing take the head off he pi!loo anl stretch out straight.

Throw first one foot and then the other toward the headboard, keeping the knee joints as straight as you can. "4 While still lying on the hack, kirk out with both feet as wide apart as you can and do the kick ing with emphasis, so as to strain the muscles on the calf and soles of thp feet. Elevate both feet at once toward the headboard and then the spine as muoh as possible by using the abdominal muscles to pull up the lower extremities three times. If the hands are placed under the small part of (he back and the arms are used as a lever to help elevate the legs and feet it is much more effec tive. If in an iron bed this can be faclliated by grasping the railing above the head with the hands and pulling up the legs and feet by the use of the muscles of the back and belly. This is very fine for reducing the paunch as it substitutes muscle for fat and hardens the obdormen. “6. Fasten the feet under some thing and pull the trunk up to a sitting posture, drop back and repeat for four or five times. This is very straining at first and one ought to go about it cautiously until he mus cles have become accustomed to the strain. “7. Throw the head back with the feet on the bed and lift the. body clear so that the shoulders do not touch. This will form an arch. Re peat four or five times. This is enough in bed in the morning. "S.
