This is just and right. Those wbo want your trade and ask you for it are the ones who ought to hWve it, and -besides who wants to force them selves into another's house unin vited? Those who want trade cer tainiv should not hesitate to ask for it. ?^-?Before making your purchases look over the advertising columns ni' The Chronicle and see who it is | that wat\ts your patronage; "lie member thoae.who remember us.v' * ' A. Charlotte Cotton M?n Ex ports the Htaplo to Hepch 15 A Cents. - "1 am afraid to say how high I think cotton will go," said a local dealer in the ataplc in a reply from I r Charlotte Chronicle reporter yes . terday. "Spot cotton ia selling at] IJi cents, and yen would naturally suppose that the farmers would fMb all they bad on the maiket* bttr euch is not the case. A great tndiy farmers believe cotton will i gj- much higher, and I do not be ifrwihut those who hold tholr cot tou will be disappointed." "How .nuch higher will" it go?" HriWed a reporter. "Will it reach l'S 4-2 cenis?" "Yes, it will reauh 12 l-2 ceotB, . bnt it won't stop there. Why, ; man, ifl" were a farmer ancf had CH'tton, I would hold it until next jspring with the expectation of sell ing it for 15 or 18 cents. The oojt to upmarket will give Home wild ex hibitions within the next few .jpomhe, and no man is prepared to sajr what the staple will sell at next spring. '.__VOPhe trouble with cotton is," continued the gentleman, "that the demand is incroasin^ constantly, while the production is not increas ing. I am of the opinion that we ? bave readied the limit of produc tion, and if time should prove the oorrectness of this opinion, it is un necessary to say that the planters ;t?nay never live in the dread of I starvation prices from their staple crop." A cotton manufacturer to whom J&t-toV9LWas mentioned ridiculed the idea that cotton wwuld go to anything like 15 or 18 cents. He ?ild: "Wfot I fear at present is a| break in cotton. Whtfc it may sound etrango for 4 jtuiil man to U< predate a break in the cotton ^i?*ikwt, I do not want to aeo the price go down just now, because I .believe It would have a bad' eifect ^ou too goods market." The Family and the House. The bouse la tlio center of the | home and the kernel of the family The bouse is built for the people who live in it,^ and tho peo v- plswba livo in it make' the family. -It ia: not only eminently fitting, I k therefore, to consider the houae in ( US Nation to the family, but, in an almost liUral aenae, it la well nigh bie to oonaVier one without Good ho use* do not, u d rly, always male bad peo-| bad bonaes inevetably j I unfortunate family life affects the occupants Qualities of a good noparattvHy easy .ofl Ixitnu - whim, yflliio, in fix&pUy pj e national xo ita intensity and ita] imiIIi.

Bad Uopset, of course, have qualities exactly the opposite of thoae houses that are rightly entitled to he ?all?d good. It mutt foe obvious that thoae houses thus designated aa "good" must, if their perfection ho real and thorough, exercise an Influence i on their inmates. The couteuU o/| our phsona, the endlcas procesalons I that move aorosa the floors of ourj police ijourtu, are not drawn how the people living in good bouaes, but from thoae that swarm in had ones. It 4a true enough that crimi nala are aoaetljfcia 'ound Ju excel lent surrounding*, but that only in creases /the hfdeouaness of theii orlmea, and emphaalzes more dis tinctly the. influence that good houses are, even in tiie popular mind, supposed to exert on thoae who live within them. And Ihia influence ia not the lees potent be cauae it may he exerciaed in an un concioua way, and thoae directly affeoted by i( may be unaware of I <Jf ita power. It exists, and alwaytj will exiats, and it ia one of tho pre dominating influences in civiliza lion, it ip the home that makesl the people, and its the honao that makes the home; it dependa on thej family wbothor tho mute architec ture, tranalated into domestic build ing, will be an element for good or) not. .Why else the atern flight against the tenement? Why olaeis the alum cleansed? Why else is) movement towards the auburba and countryside? The houae ia the key to tho family life. More the chil dren are,, born and raised. Hero| youth grows into manhood, girl hood into womanhood. If the home ia attractive, the children will be bound to it; but an attractive! home 1h impossible in an ugly, badlyc.plunned, stupid dwelling in an unpleasant locality. Good men and women have, indeed, come out/of exactly such environment bijft the?e are the exceptional man flftid wnnien. Human lifo ia beaet with tool many pitfalls to render it wise or safe to take chances in the home environment. The truth of tho | matter ia that tiie relation between the house and the family life are so close tl\at one can hardly bo con sidered apart from the other. Here if anywhere, union ia strength. The good house and the good fami ly f?(> hand in hand. The house is what it is; tho family ia tiie mov ing part, the mind, tiie aoul, the will, that determines tho develop ment of the home. J. k. 1).
