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.

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.

ling to Georgia that he may be tried on
the charges against him
Existing conditions do not indicate
that Governor Please will honor the
requisition for IViwImg, e*[>eciall) in
view of the fact that while Hon Joseph
M. 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.—

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.

Cardui is purely vegetable and frwile-

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.
