IS.?Travelers in and out of this port, tha contar of transit to and from Tiflls, Baku and other points in Porsia, are learning how to circumvent soma of the restrictions of the Soviet authorities. There is the case of the pet cat of Xenia. Xenia Maylitzoua, an exponent of Russian dancing who is not unknown in Boston and other American cities, had to return to Petrograd on personal business. This concluded she came south, and was lately in Hatum anxious to go to Trebizond down the coast in Turkish territory to fulfill a dancing engagement. The port authorities suspected she was trying to bid them fare; well, and at the same time carry 1 away a few of the jewels for which Russia has become famous. So they began their game. TJhey detained Xenia; searched her, and took her money. Still she would go. I "All right," they said finally, "if you insist; but you can't take that Anirora cat. We have a little idea that you have fed her jewels, and that once aboard the steamer .' Tears. Xenia shed them copiously, j but the shower was in vain. Then an , official said he believed he would cut the cat open anyway, then and there. Whereupon there came to the front Mr. Maklitzona, Xexnia's manager, theatrical, diplomatic, and otherwice, and her husband. "Let a man handle this situation," he declared. "Cut the cat open," he said, "but on these terms: If jewels are found in her insides you, Mr. Customs Inspector i can shoot me. If there are no jewels, I will shoot you. There is the pistol; these are my sporting terms. Go i ahead and cut." Rut no official could withstand this 1 evidence of good faith. He let them go to Trebizond, all three, the dancer, j the diplomat and the cat. He now tells the story on himself, and still insists the cat carried the jewels. Disgusting Stuff I j .

Karri*, Commissioner ?f < Agriculture.) , We now have about 900,000 bales , of cotton held over from the 1921 ( crop and cotton ia now telling for $60 a bale more than it waa 12 months | ago. Let's calculate a little and see ' if it pays to hold cotton. A great ' many are always ready to say that . it does not pay to hold cotton., but . the best way is to sell as fast as you get it ginned. By holding these 200,000 bales of cotton to date we have I added $10,000,000 of wealth to the state. If this cotton had not been held off the market that amount of wealth would have gone into the hands of thte speculators. Has it not paid to hold it? The same thing can be done with me crop we are now garnering. a think that our state will not make over 600,000 bales this year and if it >s held off the market for even six months at least 10 cents a pound can be added to the price it is selling for today. Another $50 a bale can be made, adding $30,000,000 of wealth to our state. Now, is this worth our while? I certainly think it is. Considering the condition of our state at present the business interests of our state cannot afford to lose this great amount of money. How can this enormous amount of money be saved and added to the wealth of our state? Cotton is one of the best collaterals in the world on which to have money advanced and it is doubly so now, for it is admitted by some of the best cotton men in the world that we have not enough cotton for the world's consumption in 1923, even if the consumption is no greater for next year than it has been for this year. If this cotton is warehoused and the i receipts turned over to the bankers, I believe that they can get money on them, and I want to urge every farmer who has not signed his cotton to the Cooperative Marketing Association to warehouse his cotton and keep it off the market. I think that : you are bound to see higher prices in the near future. The world is no , longer going to believe the big crop - estimate lies. They are now be. ginning to realize that we will make i under 10,000,000 bales this year and 1 they are beginning to wonder where the cotton is coming from to clothe the people of the world. If not an other bale of spot cotton were sold ? in the South for 30 days, you would see cotton sell above 25 cents and I think you would even see 30 cent } cotton. The cotton is growing short' er every day and the world is needing ' cotton cloth as it has never needed ! it before A South-wide holding movement for better prices should be started at once. So long as cot ton is thrown on the market it will 1 not go up. I know Texas is selling her cot' ton about as fast as she gets it out. Texas will not make over 3,000,000 bales this year and it is opening very rapidly. By October 13 she will be through gathering. They will soon | be through and out of the way this year You must remember that Texas tan make cotton at least 5 to 7 cents a pound cheaper than we can east of the Mississippi. I The farmers, bankers and business men of the South have the cotton situation in their hands this year as they have not had it in 50 years. . They can name the price at which ; hoy want to sell. I want to urge our bankers and business men to got behind the cotton and let's save South Carolina from financial run by all forces working together. We can udd many million dollars to the wealth of our state. Single-handed we can added nothing; together we can do anything. That is right and I know that this is right. Cotton is our great money crop and when we get rid of what we now have on hand it will be a long time before we will have this much again. I believe we can save our country in the future as wo have In the nast It is up to us. Plan to Establish National Forests in Appalachians Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 18.?The plan of establishing national forests in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia and southem Pennsylvania, proposed by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, is being taken up by similar organization in the South, the local body reports. The converting of vast tracts of land in this region into playgrounds, located more conveniently to persons of the East than most of the national forests and parks of the country, will be explained in communications to be sent throughout the South by the Cincinnati organization. The basis of the plan will be building and improving roads through these preserves, designating camp 1 sites with necessary sanitary ar- 1 rangements, clearing the timber to ' stimulate growth of the forests and protecting the watersheds to establish 1 a system of flood prevention. It is estimated that more than 2,- 1 000,000 acres are available and adaptable for national forests in the Ap- 1 palachian some of the most historic ' and picturesque country in America. ' At least you've got to say this 1 for the automobile; it practically put ' the high silk hat out of business. 1 m i Life is something else besides just < living. 1 r "r I T< I "A I X X X X m Kl T t The THE YANKEE Y Sandy Y Queen Morgan le Fay . . .

Democrats are endeavoring to bring Tennessee back to the formerly "solid south." Both parties in Tennessee are preparing for the fljrst national and gubernatorial contest since the state broke away two-years ago from the democratic "solitfsouth" by voting for President Hardmg, electing a Republican govemor^bd dividing its con Kiessiouui seuis ?quany oevween me two major parties. The ' primaries August 3 followed one of the hardest fought Tennessee campaigns of re cent years. United States Senator Kenneth D. McKellar, wtio was renominated by the Democrats, based his campaign upon his senatorial record, his support of the Wilson administration, ar.d his. advocacy of the soldier's bonus. He was understood to have the support of organized labor, and was definitely endorsed by several labor organization. His nearest opponent, Capt. Gua T. Fitzhugh, assailed Senator McKellar's record and his position on the bonus. Cordell Hull, Democratic national chairman, was nominated for the seat in the house of representatives which the Republicans Won from him in 1920. Finis J. Garrett, minority leader in the house, was renominated by the Democrats. Austin Peay was chosen as the Democratic opponent of Governor "Alf"' Taylor, Republican, who was unopposed for renomination. Former Governor Westmoreland Davis, defeated for the Democratic , senatorial nomination in Virginia by the incumbent Senator Swanson, had ' .announced his intention of affiliating with the farm bloc if elected. He had i also announced he did not care for the I support of the Anti-Saloon League in 1 Virginia. Senator Swanson stood on 1 his record. The contest was one of i the hardest fought the state has seen in years. Senator Park Trammell has been renominated by the Florida Democrats. n The tax question has predominated j, among the state issues, particularly j( in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and ^ South Carolina. The Ku Klux Klan was made an issue of the Democratic primary campaign in some sections of Arkansas, and the ticket sonctioned by the Kiansmen led in Pulaski county and in Little Rock, its county seat, at the primary August 8. Neither of the gubernatorial candidates took sides in p this controversy, but Governor T. C. .

Good Oriental rugs in the local market are hard to get nowadays, and the principal reason is lack of transportation facilities from the producing cent$f?, Hence prices on good stock are %eing na oinf (i inn/1 in aiiivaiiicu. The city abounds in rugs, however, the demand from the United States and England giving a stimulus to the trade, but many are of poor quality. This grade is cheap, and there are few buyers. When the Russians got into the Caucasus the authorities confiscated large stocks of good quality. As these rugs cost them nothing, they sent them to Constantinople for sale at very low prices. The first shipments from Batum included some of the finest Kasacks ever seen in the public market, and the boyers will not have a similar opportunity again. Later, when the best stocks had been exhausted, the Russian authorities exported what may be termed the sweepings of the rug districts, and most of the Shirvans received here were of very good quality. Prices o.s these goods now are low. A large number of Beluchistan rugs came to Constantinople early in 1922 and were all sold at once at a fairly low price. But one had difficulty 111 finding 50 good pieces in a thousand, and not more than three or four pieces of what private buyers call "Blue" Beluchistan. (iermany is out of the market, the j import of Oriental rugs being prohibited, Italy bought a limited quantity of a poorer quality, and Switzerand and Czechoslovakia also took a few.
