AS TO TU I ; COTTON EXCHANGES W. ll. Thompson Hays Tiley Help-A IMalnTalk by IC. D. Smith. Hallas, Texas, Feb. 20.-The fea ture of the fl rat (lay's proceedings ol the mumal convention of the South ern Cotton Association was the ad dress of W. B. Thompson, whoso sub ject was "The Functions of Legiti mate Cotton Exchanges " Mr. Thomp son was frequently interrupted by questions from delegates. Tho substance of his address was that the New Orleans cotton ex Chango was an Indispensable adjunct to the cotton raising industry of thc South in that lt furnishod a market where the seller may yost tho price he ?8 willing to tako and the buyer may post what he ls willing to pay for the stuplu. He declared against nambling wi e<-e no actual cotton was Involved, but favored dealing lu fu ll r.'s, saying thal this was absolutely necessary. Several delegates replied to Air. Thompson. B. W. Marston, of East Point, La., declared that the distinc tion which Mr. Thompson attempted to draw between au exchange and a bucket shop "was the difference be tween tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum." J. A. Taylor, of Guthrie, Okla., R. R. Dnncy, of Houston, Texas, and M. L. Johnson, of Cass Station, Ga.,also Joined in the discussion. E. D. Smith, of Columbia, S. C., declared that In going after tho buck etshops the convention was allow ing itself to be switched from tho real Issue. "Men get rich by attend ing to their own business," he de clared. "Let us attend to our busi ness by proceeding to make arrange ments to warehouse and finance the cotton. What somebody In Liverpool, or New York, or New Orleans may write oil a piece ot tissue paper about the price of cotton is no concern of ours."

Miss Wallac, has been In charge of the Carnegie Library ever since it was established here, and in that position she was fre quently brought In contact with Mr. Carnegie, who beanie fond cf the young woman. She was Instrumen tal In securing the $180 000 which Mr. CarneKle gae to the library When Miss Wallace announced her engagement she received a con gratulatory letter from Mr. Carnegie which closed with the statement that he would send her a "little remem brance" of her wedding.

These bonds have been deposited with the Home Trust Company of Hoboken, with Instruc tion that tho Income of $6,000 be paid to the Atlanta girl. A weak stomach means weak stomach nerves, always. And this ls also true of the heart and kidneys. It's a pity that sick ones continue to drug the stomach or stimulate the heart and kidneys. The weak nerves -not the organs themselves-need this help. This explains why Dr. Shoop*s Restorative has, and is promptly helling so many sick ones. It goes dlr^ -t to the cause of these diseases. Test this vital truth, and see. J. W. Bell.

Bear, th? ^ tin Kind You Haw Alw?j? ftfnatu? af Plain Talks c How to Get the Greatest It is a well-known scientific fact that in order to produce the very greatest possible yield from any soil it must contain an actual excess over and above all demands that can possibly be made on it by the plants. Many farmers will feed their stockas much nourishing food as they can possibly assimi late, yet will starve their crops on the mistaken notion that they arc "economizing" on fer tilizer. The experiences of fanners, government experts, and agricultur alists every where confirm thc fact that plants, like ani mals, need thc fullest possible amount of nour ishment that they can obtain if they are to bc developed to the utmost. The economy in fertilizers is not in the amount used but in the ratio of quality to cost. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are the best in thc world for thc least money. .'
