THE SOUTH'S DC OF COTT (Manufacturers Record) The Manchester Guardian is quoted in Financial America as having published a report by a committee which had been appointed to secure a better and larger supply of cotton from; England. Of this report the Guardian says: "Lancashire was represented on this committee by F. Hodgkinson of Blackburn. The member concurred in the view that the only parts of India from which assistance to Lancashire can be expected in the near future, in which cotton of an inch or slightly more in staple can be grown in large quantities, are those parts of the Madras Presidency in which Cambodia and Karungani cotton are grown, and the Punjaub, where j American coton is making rapid head- j way. Egyptian cotton has been sue- j cessfully grown in Sind in spite or j manv difficulties. and Mr. Hodgkinson ' considers that American cotton of a i quality even better than that grown j in the Punjaub, and up to 1 1-4 inch- I es in staple, could be grown there with j ease, provided that perennial irrri- j gation were established by the con- j struction of barrage on the River In- j dus at Sukkar. In no other part of India is it posisble to bring about so great an extension of cotton cultivation as in Sind. All that is required ! is water. The barage scheme, which has been talked about for the last 50 ; years, would bring a perennial supply ! \ of water to a tract of land nearly 6000 j square miles bet'ween Rohri and Hy- j derabacl, and convert what is now a desert into one of the richest tracts of agricultural land in the world. >? "The committee has made a num ber of practical recommendations, j and it may reasonably be hoped that i we shall see good results in the near j future." It is well that this committee calls J attention to the fact that some of ; ; the plans now proposed were talked of i 50 years ago. It will be remember- : ed by readers of the Manufacturers j Record that 85 years ago 10 American cotton growers were engaged by ' English cotton manufacturers to go j to India, with a view* of developing | on a larger scale cotton growing in ! that country, based on their experi- ( ence in the South. After a few years x they returned to the South, having been unable to accomplish anything . in the larger developement of cotton j growing in India. The world must j still look to the South for cotton. Relieved of Catarrh Due I PERUf Mrs. Laura Berberick, 69 of 1205 Willow Aye., Hobol writes: "Four years ago I had a severe s Grippe.

M Arcade Building, I MINANCE 'ON PRODUCTION It would be a blessing- to tha whole j world if cotton growing could be sucj cessfully developed in other countries j on a much larger scale than at pres| ent, because the world's demand for cotton is fast outgrowing the world's production, and we are facing the dan| ger for the entire world of a cotton ! ?wViinli mov nrnvo mnst SArinilS. i\;i iaia v> niv^i JK* ~ ^ Shortly before his death, Mr. Ed1 ward Atkinson of Boston, who for many years had given much attention to the study of cotton growing and 'cotton manufacturing in all parts of the world and who himself had been a cotton manufacturer, wrote the Manufacturers Record that having i tested the fiber of cotton from all | parts of the world, having studied cli! matic, soil and labor conditions in all countries, he could see no possible hope of any serious competition with the South's monopoly -in cotton for at least the next 50 year?. Mr. Atkinson expressed his regret at this because he felt that vigorous competition from some other country would bring about better system in cotton growing and cotton handling in the South. He felt that the lack of competition was a disadvantage to the South, and yet he saw no hope of any 'serious competition for half a century from the time he wrote to the cotton monopoly of the South. Every report made to governments or colton manufacturers in Europe merely serves to emphasize the correctness of these statements by Mr. Atkinson. <1# More Home Demonstration Courses. ? The colleges and universities of the South are realizing the influence as well as the need of the county and home demonstration agents in the various States. The agricultural colleges and women's colleges now directly cooperating in the work give courses for special training of county demonstration agents. The first college in the United States, outside of the State agricultural and other cooperating coleges, to open its doors to the home demonstration agents and to try to supply them with needed instruction was the George Peabody College for Teacers, at Nashville, Tenn. This year many other schools have* followed its example, and a number of leading colleges and universities throughout the Southern States are now offering four-year courses especially prepared for the needs of the agents. Other schools have special short courses for the demonstration agents during the perv in nm ? . i to La bnppe, inanKs to me medicine fiHwIk *4":mBiB tvinter for four years, I have had L d not lie down or sleep at night, am in my back and a terrible :>ke up, and had no blood. i, my native language, and I read ten I bought a bottle of Pernna, : Per ana has been a great benefit trenglh.

TAX COMMISSION IS AFTER MERCHANTS i Columba, August 14.?Special: The! tax commission is having considerable } trouble in getting delinquent merchants to send in their inventories of ktock. The members say that Charleston has the largest number of delinquents, but this not a criticism of the merchants of that city. There are many transient mechants because of 1 the large activities there resulting from the "war and it is very hard to get these into line. The comission is now making up reports of the inventories of stocks and transmitting them to the various county auditors to be entered on the county books for taxation. The few delinquents now unreported are in no way delaying the work and these will be proceeded aginst by subpoenas. ? BAPTIST WOMEN* TO RAISE LARGE SOI Greenville, August 19 (Special) ?
