The Cotton Crop. The recent advance in cotton is a godsend to tho struggling masses, and the persistent attempts ot' the bear element headed by that gigantic fraud, Mr. H. M. Neill, to rob them of the fruit of their labors has fallen ridicu lously flat. Possibly more than to any other one concern, the farmer should be grateful to Messrs. Price, Mc Cormick & Co., of New York, who have expended thousands of dollars in proving the falsity of Neill's fraudulent estimate. In this connection we ap pend a letter from a very talented Georgia woman commending them on their noble fight together with a little poem written by her on Mr. Neill's es timate: EATONTON, GA., NOV/. 12, 1899. Messrs. Price, McCormick & Co., New York. Gentlemen-I am a large grower of cotton, and reside in thc very center of the drought-devasted section of the South. Knowing fully the condition here, I have watched with keen interest the noble fight your firm has made against the party led by Mr. Neill. Rest assured you have the thanks and appreciation of the whole South, and the growers of cotton all bless your name. I "would like to add my little mite of gratitude, as to my personal knowledge you have saved many of the people round here from starvation and beg gary by your efibrts to reveal the truth about our pitifully small crop. Had we received as small a price as Mr. Neill's estimate warranted, portions of the South must have suffered for ne cessaries of Hf e. I am a literary woman by profession, and the enclosed little poem was writ ten to help the "bull movement" when cotton was at its lowest ebb. Think ing it might aid you in creating senti ment against tho Neill contingent, I send it with this. Perhaps it might be typewritten and distributed with your circulars. At least, it is an evidence of desire to aid your struggle for the truth. Very respectfully, MRS. W. B. HUNT. In the darkest hours of cotton, when it had few friends, immediately: after Mr. Neill's 12,000,000 estimate, this lit tle poem was written for a prominet broker on the New York Cotton Ex change. It was read on the floor of the Exchange, creating much meriment ' and bringing cheer and hope to those who were fighting the South's battle against Mr. Neill. It is published for the first time in the Atlanta Journal. It follows: Upon the crop of cotton Neill's making for the South, It matter* net tue rainfall; it m niters not the drought, StraDge, this city farmer, regardless rain or shine, "Mules," "acres" or "guano" makes crop that's always "floe " Beneath the Brazes River, went Texas "out of sight," And steamboats gay were ?sailing above the cotton white. v But Mr. Neill quite calmly t-aid, "Pshaw, why don't you know, Beneath the raging billows toe cotton best will grow!" "And if the flood continues, that cotton when it fruits, Will gathered be by pickers, sent down in divmg suits." "For cotton's an aquatic, on 'suckers' feeds and (whales)? The flood will make for Texas an oxtra million bale*." But when the rest of Dixie with drought was burning dry, This English cotton planter, he winked his other eye, And said: "All the conditions still point to Monster crop, p The drought has so helped cotton the price must further drop." "For cotton needs no moisture, it thrives on sun and heat; Eleven millions are assured now, twelve millions yet may beat." Ob! Mr. Neill, this cotton (so queer the South ne'er knew), Those phantom fleecy millions no plant er.picked but you." "Where did you make such' crop, pray ? Not here, but o'er the seas; Perchance your cotton's growing round English factories. -Mus. W. B. HUNT, Eatonton, Ga. He Should Have a Medal. BRAZIL, IND., NOV. 26.-The courage and presence of mind of 14-year-old Frans: Williams prevented a disastrous wreck on the Vanadalia railroad to day. Williams was coming from Knightsville to this city when he noticed a broken rail which had been pressed out of position by a freight train some hours ; before. The lad heard the west-bound passenger and mail train whistle for the Knigntsville station. Snowing that the train did not stop there, the boy ran up the track and when he sighted the train stood between the rails and waved his hand. The ingineer, seeing the boy would not leave the track, reversed the lever and applied the air brake, stopping the train within a few feet of the broken rail. The engineer said he was run ning o0 miles an hour when he saw the boy, and had his engine struck the broken rail at such great speed a fear ful wreck.would have resulted. The Young Heir's Knowledge. She invited him to stop to supper, and he was trying to appear easy and unconcerned, while she was on her prettiest behavior. "Have you used the sugar, John?'' inquired the mother in a winniDg manner. "John don't want no sugar," ejacu lated the young heir abruptly, as he put the fourth spoonful of sugar into his own coffee. "Why not, my son?" inquired thc father, cuiiously, while Jchn, in his surprise, B~ allowed a bit of toasted crust and nearly cut his throat open. "'Cause he don't," explained the heir, in an artful manner; "I heard him tell Mary last night-" "You keep still," interrupted Mary, in a hysterical manner, while the young man caught his breath in dismay. "I heard him say," persisted the heir, with dreadful eagerness, "that she was so sweet that he shouldn't never use no sugar any more-an' then he kissed her, an' I said I'd tell, an' Mary, she-" The young heir was lifted out of the room by his ear, and the supper was finished in moody silence.-Sat urday Night.

I Why lamps Give a Poor Light. j Mr. Jehu A. 3Iagcvney, of th Standurd Oil Company, has sent th "Times-Democrat" thc following ?'pointers" on how to secure the best lamplight from illuminating oil. The suggestions are pulled from a recent bulletin issued by the State Chemist of Alabama, and are of great value to lamp-users. Many of our people are strongly of the opinion that an oil which falls below the limits prescribed by law is a poor oil, in the sense that it will not give a good light. This opinion is incorrect. An unsafe oil need not necessarily be a poor illuminant, and generally is not. Many have poor lights because of a lack of care and at tention to their lamps and wicks. The following points should be care fully heeded by those who would get the best results from their lamps: 1. Use a good wik. The open woven wick known as the "American wick," is excellent. Do not use too long a wick; cut it only a few inches longer than neccessary to reach the bottom of th? lamp. Do not have a great coi! of wick in the lamp. 2. In adjusting a new wick, fit it to the burner, soak the wick in the oil, light the wick, let the lamp burn a few minutes, then blow it out and trim your wick by moving the finger over the charred part evenly and smoothly in one direction only. Repeat until the surface feels smooth and even; this is always the best plan to pursue in trimming the wick. Do not use shears unless perhaps to cut off long and uneven threads at the start. Al ways trim the wick in this way after each night's use. 3. Remember that dirt will get into oil, little particles that perhaps you cannot see, and this floating dirt will gradually accumulate in the wick, which acts as a filter to hold back the dirt as the oil ascends the wick. After a time this dirt chokes up the pores or intestines in the wick and partially destroys its power of cap illarity. Then the light begins to fall, because the oil cannot get to it. So don't economize on wicks. They are much cheaper than eyesight. Put in a new one when needed. Don't pin or sew red flannel on to the end of your wick to eke out its existence and at the same time expect to get a good light. 4. Remember that occasionally, say once in ten days, or whenever need ed, the dirty, dreggy oil in the bottom of the lamp should be thrown out. It may be saved if desired by filtering it through a piece of fine cotton cloth. Then rinse out the lamp with some clear, bright oil. Don't clean the inside of your lamp with water; if you do the light will probably be bad when you next use it, sputter and give you trouble. 5. Occasionally, say once in ten days or when you see it is needed, give the burner a thorough cleaning, boil it with hot water and soda so as to get all greasy dirt and open up the air passages. Then dry it thoroughly in the sun or over the stove before using. 6. Don't buy red oil; it never gives as good a light as thc same quality of oil without the red coloring matter. If you attend carefully to all the rules and still get poor light then you may abuse the oil companies, but not be fore. In all the cases of "poor light" and "bad oil" I have so far investigated, the trouble must have boen due to neglect of some of the above simple precautions, which ought to be adopt ed in every well-regulated household. Remember that the State will see to it that no unsafe oil is furnished you, and that because a lamp gives a poor light is no evidence that the oil is unsafe. In the recent oil investiga tion I examined some oils which were undoubtedly unsafe and below the law; but yet when I burned them day after day in a properly cared for lamp no fault could be found with thc light they gave.-Xeic Orlca7is Times-Dem ocrat. Mutually Agreeable. On one of the recent warm days, a sourvifaged, middle-aged, fussy woman got on one of the smoking scats on an open car in the subway, says the Boston Transcript. Next to her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that the woman sniffing, made out that the man had been eating onions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he had been drinking beer. The woman fussed and wriggled and grew angrier, and looked at thc man scorn fully. Presently she could endure it no longer. She looked squarely at him and said: "If you were my husband, sir, Fd give you a dose of poison!" The man looked at her. "If I were your husband," said he. "I'd take it!" - An epidemic of typhoid fever has broken out at the State Normal and Industrial college at Greensboro, N. C., making it necessary to close the school until January 1st. There are now moro than 80 of the young ladies, stu dents, confined to their beds by sick ness. Two have died, Miss Dean, of Wilson, N. C., and Miss Caldwell, of Davidson College. A number of trained nurses have been secured and the people of Greensboro are aiding in caring for the sick. It is believed the epidemic is caused by defective sewer age. Interesting Faids.

A Chicago man who has just return ed from a western trip, tells the Chica go News thc new "Jack rabbit" story: As everybody knows, a jack rabbit is a lightning runner, or, as Mark Twain once said, "goes so fast that all you see is a crack in the air." It seems that a certain fat man, well known in Idaho, was out bear hunting with a party who had been joking him as to what he would do if a bear took after him, and he always claimed that he would not run away. On this day he was poking along in advance of a wild-looking trail, when he sundden'y ran into a real bear. The hunters io thc rear heard a shout and a yell, and in a moment the fat man came dashing dawn thc trail minus his gun, with a jack rabbit making long leaps in front of him. lie was so scared, the other hunters say, that he seemed tobe afraid the "jack" would hinder him it; his.flight, for he was shouting: "Gel. out of the way, jack rabbit, and leta man run that has to!" ?1 ? mm - >'o Rocking Lullaby. Strange as it may seem, time-hon ored custom of rocking babies to sleep is a bad one. It is injurious to the children themselves, and is a cause, eventually, of much unnecessary trou ble to their guardians. Mothers should therefore see to it that from the very first thc little ones are brought up in the way they should go, and that the monthly nurse does not get them into bad habits by rocking them to sleep cither in her arms or io their cots. There is no doubt that rocking is the most expeditious \~ay of inducing a baby to go to sleep, but if one once starts, a baby will not sleep without it, and at a later age is likely to suffer from insomnia. Rock ing may save immediate trouble toa lazy nurse or mother by inducing sleep when a child docs not require it, or when it ought to be taken up from its cot and have clean clothes put on, but it will never cause that street, gentle and perfect sleep which should be ' characteristic of a baby who has no artificial aids to induce slumber. -. - - * -? - Keep your temper and people will forget that you have it after a while. - Never spoil a good story by in sisting that your hearers shall believe it. It is unfortunate that slang phrases are so easily slipped into our every day conversation, ?ind taking appa rently so fixed u place in our talk. And the worst o?' it is that so niauy people are using slang, entirely un conscious of the fact that they arc doing so. If the common usage of slang were confined to a particular order of girls, it would, perhaps, serve as an indicator of character, and pass untouched. It would, at least, not touch the sensibilities of gentlefolk. But it is not so confined. Slang is invading the very nicest of circles; it is beginning to influence the talk of our most carefully reared girls. And this is why thc habit should receive closer attention. Girls arc forgetting that slang phrases and refinement are absolutely foreign to each other. A slang phrase may be more expressive than a term of polite usage, but it is never impressive, except to impress unfavorably. It is high time that our girls should realize that they should speak thc English language in their conversation, and not the dialect of the race track, nor the lingo of thc baseball field. A girl may cause a smile by the apt use of some slang phrase. But, inwardly, those who applaud her place her, at the same time, in their estimation. No girl ever won an ounce of respect by being slangy. On the contrary, many a girl, unconscious of the cause, has found herself gradually slipping out of people's respect by the fact that her talk was dotted with slaug phrases. i:0, she is clever," said ' a woman not [ long ago, of a girl who could keep a j company constantly amused by her | apt use of slaug. "She amuses me ! greatly. But I should not care to j invite her to my home nor have my girls know her."

No Torture Equal to the Itching and Burning ot This Fearful Disease. Noi; mach attention is often paid to the first {symptoms of Eczema, but it is not lone before the little redness begins to itch and burn. This is but the beginning, and will lead to suffering and torture almost unen durable. It is a common mistake to regard a roughness and redness of the skin as merely a local irritation ; it is but an indica tion of a humor in the blood-of terrible Eczema-which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the Burface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin ; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: "I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke int? running sore, and began to spread and grow worse, '? OT the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from th6 disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. S. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing S. S. S., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly." Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only o tonic. Swift's Specific 8. S? S. FOI? THE BL?@D -is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to thc bottom-to the cause of the disease-and will cure tho wi TS ! caso of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed.
