SEPTEMBER 11, 1913. All honor to Congress for its self- sacrificing labors throughout this hot summer just passed —Conway Field. But why? Every time there is a session of Congress- during the Sum mer months some newspapers fall over themselves to “congratulate" the members of that august body on the "faithful performance of their duty." Why should there be any more honor to Congress for working dunng the heated term than to thousands of the “deer peepul" who are forced to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow'* Aren't the Congressmen paid 17,600 a year and Senators 110,000 for their “self sacnflcmg labors'*" And besides, they have been doing nothing more than redeeming their campaign pledges to the people who elected them At least, that s how we feel about it.

Editor The People — Responding to your appeal to delin quant subscribers in The People of Uua week, plesae find my check to balance account to ^ate I can offer DO valid excuse for allowing my in debtedneaa to remain overdue, but in axpiaoatioa allow me to sa> that 1 have baen an absorbed in my work of dem Oastrating to farmers the almost in calculable gain to them, as a communi ty. the marketing of their cotton would be through the Southern States Cotton Corporation that I have had no thought for my private affairs My work done in this State and the work of my co-laborers in Texts, t)ak lahoma, Arkansas and other States has proved to he to effective, however, that it is reflecting in the phenomenal rise of over a cent and a half a pound In a few weeks. The export buyers the and cotton bears seem to be absolute ly dazed by the rapidity with which the price has mounted upward. The sellers of middling cotton in August on the New York Cotton Ex change of September deliveries at 10 91 are trying to explain to their South ern dupes that the deterioration of crops weat of the Mississippi accounts for this distressing (to themi situation, but the real reason is that the specu lators have “caught on” to the fact that the farmers west of the Mississippi have been freely contracting their cot ton to our corporation and that this cotton is not to be put on the market at less than 15 cents. N. B. This good work has been done, too, by farmers like Wadley, of Georgia, and Neill, ex-president of the Texas Farmers’ Union, and Corley, of Oklahoma. I have not had any one to ask me this week how the Southern States Cotton Corporation can guaran tee a farmer 15 cents for his cotton, nor has any one expressed any doubt that those Slaytown farmers on “Hark- less Creek,” who contracted their cotton in July, acted wisely. How we would rejoice with The People if “the Major” were yet with ua! Sincerely yours, Alfred Aldrich. Should Pay Up.

Washington, Sept. 8.—The greatest quaatity of cotton ever ginned in the period prior to September 1 was re ported by the census bureau todiy, when it waa announced 794,006 bales of the growth of 1913 had been put out from the ginneries throughout the South since the beginning of the gin ning season. The heavy ginnings for this first period of the season are the result of an early maturing of the crop and of an effort of the farmers to beat the boll weevil, in the opinion of census bureau officials. All States reported an increased ginning for the period over last year’s totals for that time with the exception of Texas and North Carolina. Last year September 1 there had been gin ned 54 per cent of the entire crop, in 1911 the quantity was 5 per cent. The figures this year compared with 730,935 bales last year to September 1, 771,297 bales in 1911 and 353,011 bales in 1910. Round bales included in this report numbered 7,584, compard with 7,434 for last year. Sea island bales included 430 com pared with 232 for last year.

Brown was governor of Georgia requisition was asked and flatly re fused—-with very discourteous refer ences to the then governor of Georgia made by the governor of South Caro lina—and more especially because Gov ernor Blease was unsuccessful in secur ing extradition of Julian J. Zac^iry when it was recently asked. The officials will, however, do every thing in their power to get Dowling back to Georgia. He is now in Fairfax, S. C., where he is engaged in the hard ware business, it is understood, and, at least Governor Blease will be given the opportunity to again decline to re. turn him to the jurisdiction of the Geor gia courts. The outcome will be watched with unusual interest for the reason that the action of .Governor Blease on the re quest for Dowling will be a further, and, perhaps, a decisive expression of what his policy will be with reference to re turning Georgia fugitives from South Carolina while he remains governor of that state. He has already given what is regarded as a decisive expression of his policy with reference to asking for the return of South Carolina fugitives from this side of the Savannah River.— Augusta Chronicle, Sept. 7.

P»to*.-*A4v Springfield New* Springfield, Sept. 6.—A very pleasant affair of the week was the card party given by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bean on Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Es sie Peeples of Estill, guest of Miss Flor- rie Gleaton. Several exciting games of whist and setback were played. De lightful punch and cake were served after the games. Another very enjoyable affair was the “watermelon cutting” given by Norman Boyleston on Wednesday evening. About 40 of the young peo ple shared in the pleasures of the oc casion. Ohio produced more than 42 per cent of the pottery made in the United States last year. . More than 2,000,000 grass hats were exported to the United States from the Dutch West Indies during the third quarter of 1912. One-fourth off on Straw Hals and Canvas Oxfords. J. A.

I had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. 1 also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, 1 would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when 1 finally decided to try Cwrdui. the woman’s tonic, and 1 firmly belwve I would have died if I had at taken i After I began taking Cardui l.was greatly helped, and ah three bode* re lieved me ewttrely.

Its ingredients have a mdd.KMiic effect, on the womanly constitution Cardui makes lor increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner vous system, and helps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui haa helped more than a million weak women, during the past 50 years. It will surely do for you, what it has done for them. Try Cardui today. WriU to: ChatUMOta Madtrlita Co..
