RESJUNS OF JOHN PAUL JONES. Naval Hero's Body Formally Oolivored to Undo Sam Unique and Imposing Service. lo the presence of the highest digni taries of Prauoe, tho diplomatic repre sentatives of many foreign governments sud civil and uaval officials of the r ni ted States, the body of Admiral John Paul Jones was ou July Otb formally delivured to the United States government. The ceremony was one combining impressive dignity with hrilliaut military aud uaval pomp in which thesuldiors aud sailors of Franoe and the sailors of America united in rendering honors to the illustrious founder of the Amerloan navy. Tho occasion wa? uu?qu? and piobauiy ithout parallel, as the funeral was that of a Revolutionary hero who had lain neglected in a foreign grave for over a hundred years. Seldom has an evont awakened such widespread interest in the French capi tol. Dense throngs packed the Champs Elysees and other prinoipal thorough fares to witness the imposing cortege which for the elaborateness of tts mili tary features equalled the martial display ou the occasion of the visit of King Al fonso. The ceremony of delivering the body was held in the American ohuroh on the Avenue de L'Alma at 3.30 o'clock in the afternoon. The interior of this Oothio edifloe was beautifully decorated with plants and flowers. At the foot of the chanoel rested the casket wrapped in an American flag and literally buried in masses of floral emblems. At the right of the altar sat Ambassa dor MoCormick, Senior Special Ambassa dor Porter, Junior Special Ambassador Loomis, United States Senator Henry . Cabot Lodge, Rear Admiral Sigsbee and r other offioors of the Amerioan squadron. Across the aislo sat Premior Rouvier with other members of his cabinet, prac tically the entire diplomatic corps and officers of the army and navy. The mem bers of the diplomatic corps were in full uniform. Scores of American sailors in the naves on either side of the altar gave a titting background to the imposing scone. After brief religious services Oen. Porter, wearing evening dress according to the French custom, with the red sash of the grand oross of the Legion of Honor across his breast, advanced alongside the casket and formally delivered the body to Mr. Loomis, as the representative of the United States govornment, who ac cepted it in the name of the government and commissioned Admiral Sigsbee to transport it to tho Uuitod States. As the surpliced choir took up "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" the entire as semblage rose and joined in the strains of the patriotic hymn. Fight brawny sailors from the Brooklyn then stepped forward and raising the casket on their ?houlders bore it slowly from the church to the waiting gun carriage. This was draped with the national colors and was eira Wo hy six black horses. n e cortege was now formed and pro .ce . h.d to the F.splanada des Invalides. Arriving at the esplanada an imposing pict un' was presented. Tho French gov ernment had orocted a large pavilion in which to deposit tho coffin. Tho pa vilion was richly hung with crimson vel vet, with martial emblems and battle axes, entwined Hags and a row of brass field pieces along the front. The casket was deposited iu the cen ter of tho pavilion while tho cortege passed, rendering military honors. Later it was boroo to tho invalides railroad station and placed in a funeral car whore, guarded by Fronoh and Amori Nd/an sailors, it started for Cherbourg at 10 o'olock to-night. How Consumption Begins. Consumption always begins with a cough that lingers. A cough that hangs on and will uot yiold to the usual treat ment may not moan consumption, but too often it does mean this dead destroyer lias gainod a footing. Rydale's Cough Elixir is very successful in chocking tho progress of throat and lung diseases. Even consumption yields to Its powerful influence, if its uso is bogun before tho disease is too deep soated. This modern scientific remedy kills the germs that cause consumption. It removes tho causo hand bel ps naturo rebuild the broken down issue. If you have a stubborn COUgh try Kydale's Cough Elixir, it will not dis appoint you.

Warns thant Af ainsi Speculation of All Kinds. Advisot a Conservative Course. Harvie Jordan, President of the South oru Cotton Association, has issued the following;: The South is to be congratulated on the prospects for general prosperity dur ing the next eighteen months. The loy alty of Southern farmers in etanding to gothor during the drat three months of the year and holding their staple off a depressed cotton market and following this by curtailing produotiou for 1005, by materially reducing tbe cottou aoreage and use of guano under cotton, is more hugely responsible for the present condi tion of good prices than all other cansos oombinod. The loyalty of Southern bankers, cot ton men, fertilizer companies and busi ness men generally who have so gener ously contribu? d funds to the associa tion, and the Southern press, which, dur. lng the hard struggle of the farmers for the past six months to whip the fight they had undertaken, has done suoh val iant and effective publio servioe without prioo, are other highly important factors in making possible existing oonditlons. All of these things, coupled with bad seasons following in the wake of a heav ily reduced aoreage aud an enormous de mand for spot cotton by the spinners of the world, gives to cotton the strongest statistical position it has oeoupied in many years. If orop conditions do not rapidly improve the supply of raw cot ton for consumption in 1906 will fall far short of the demand and prices will go very muoh higher. But abnormally high prices will be as dangerous for tho future to the producer and spinner as abnor mally low prices, and we must endeavor to be conservative and consistent. It will be the best part of wisdom for all cotton producers to discourage sp?cu lative interest that would tend to drive the price of spot cotton above 12 con ts per pound just aa it is imperative that no farmer should ever again sell a pound of middling cotton under 10 cents per pound. Let us not enoourage the growth of the staple in foreign Holds. We held a complete monopoly of the cotton in dustry of the world up to 12 cents per pound and at that prioe good profits to the producer can be realizod. The recent advanoe in ootto i is induc ing many farmers already v, Bell their orop for dolivery in October. This is bad policy, aud if generally indulged in will deluge such an enornous amount of tho staple on tho market during that month as to break prices and prove in jurious to those who must sell. Learn to market the orop slowly and do not go into speculative propositions. Hy co-operative aotion roi use to sell any cotton under 10 cents and so market the staple as to keep the legitimate de mand active and healthy at good prices. Tho .Southern Cotton Association, in its mooting at Memphis, June 20, 1005, endorsed the plans for immediate con struction of wai chouses under tho plans and specifications of tho insurance com panies and to bo owned and operated by the local communities iu tho develop ment of a ootton warehouse system as absolutely essential to tho best system of marketing cotton for high prices aud this matter should bo pushod at every cottou point in the South. It is now imperative that tho farmors rally in each oounty and build up the membership of the association. Those counties which have not yot organized should got into line at once. Those that aro organized should be pushod by the local oflicors and the membership of each rapidly increased aftor the crops aro laid by. We want to bo in a strong position by Septembor to handle the situation next fall and winter. Tho outlook is most encouraging. The State and county ofti oors of tho association aro to bo congratu lated on the splondid work thoy have done and now that success is assured they should redouble their efforts. Wo have everything to bo proud of and must not let tho golden opportunity now in reach to still better fortify our posi tion for tho future, slip by or fail to m casu i e up to the highest standard of our duty to one another.
