WF.ST0N PREDICTS HIQHER PRICKS, Makes Strong Appeal to Fanners to Sign Pledges. To the farmers of South Carolina: In the absence of our State president, Mr. E. D. Smith, who is now canvassing Texas in the interest of the Southern Cotton Association, I desire to say a few words to you in reference to the appeal that bus reeently been made to you by the central office at Atlanta, to hold your cotton for higher prices. Let me remind you that in every instance In which the Association has joined is sues with those who were fighting to secure your cotton at their prices you have won a brilliant victory. The same people who are now urging you to part with your cotton predicted that ten cents would not be secured as demanded by the New Orleans Convention for the cotton held in the South. By unity of action and taking the advice of the As sociation in the face of a fourteen mil lion bale crop you secured ten cents for your cotton. When you were appealed to to reduce your acreage and fertiliz ers it was predicted by the same crowd that you would be treacherous towards each other and increase both acreage and fertilizers. This slander upon the Southern farmers was disposed of by the Government report on acreage. When those that you intrusted with your interest were convinced that the department of agriculture was being used to your detriment, and we felt it our duty to attack it, we were ridiculed and jeered at; nevertheless we proved beyond doubt every accusation we made against the department, and showed it to be thoroughly rotten.? When our estimate of the crop for 1905 was made, and in view of the short crop, we asked that the farmers be paid a mimimum price of 11 cents for their cotton, you heard on all sides that this was too much; yet throughout the South that price has been paid. The es timate of the Association has again been confirmed by the ginners' report which has just been issued. If the spinners of the world are now made to pay more for their cotton whose fault is it? They had ample opportunity to go into the market and bviy at 11 cents, yet they preferred to believe the pre dictions of Theodore Price and a cam paign was inaugurated which had for its object the stampeding of the farm ers of the South. All reports confirm the Association that cotton is worth more than 11 cents and in the near fu ture will bring more than 11 cents. The question is simply this: Who shall get the benefit of this advanced price? We appeal to you to sign the pledges that have been sent out and stand by the Association in this fight. All this talk of crippling and ruining the manu facturing interests is veritable botch. If the manufacturer has to pay more for his raw material he will receive more for his finished product unless that finished product is higher than some other article which can be sub stituted for its use. Wool, linen and silk are the competitors of cotton goods and there is a long distance between those articles and cotton goods, where the raw material would not cost the spinner more than 12 1-2 cents; if he has to pay 15 cents for the cotton now in the hands of the farmers. Those who have seen fit to consistently and persistently advise the farmers to turn loose their cotton for prices less than those fixed by the Association must now answer the individuals and the South who has been despoiled of mil lions of dollars while following their advice. The Southern Cotton Associa tion wishes to fix a staple price for cotton; this can only be accomplished by the spinner dealing direct with the Association. We stand ready to meet the spinners whenever they desire it. Stand by the Association; it has never advised you to do anything that was contrary to your interest; ignore the advice of those who have only brought loss to you and you will aid in returning to the Southland millions of dollars of which she has been unjustly robbed. It must be demonstrated to the world that the producers propose to fix the price of their cotton. I appeal to the zealous, intelligent and patriotic county officers and the rank and file throughout this State to carry on this fight with all the zeal and energy that we are capable of. We are not responsible for this fight; wo entered into it for the purpose of protecting our cotton, the price of which was being forced down, without any reason for it whatsoever, and "damn be he who first cries hold enough."

"Any shorthand reporter who hna been doing court reporting for u long time cnn toll almost Infallibly by bis sense of bearing whether a witness is tolling tb? truth," said an ohl court stenographer the wilier day. "It comes from experience combined witli abnor mal devolopmeut of the sense of hear ing which all first rate court and par liamentary stenographers possess. The stenographer'^ earn become as sonsl tlve to the slightest inflexions and In tonations of the human voice as a phonograph roller. There's a certain tremulous quaver In the tone of a man or woman who's lying In court thai the stenographer catches when the shrewd est Judaea, lawyers or Jurors quite fall to catch it. '?When he's got his head bent over his notebook he feels the Jarring false note in the voice of the liar every time, no matter how plausible and convinc ing the testimony In Itself may sound. So frequently have I tested this Idea in the past fifteen yeara or no that I have come to accept It ?8 certain when that almost indistinguishable false tremolo Is absent from the tone of a witness' voice that the witness is toil ing the truth. "A few years ago I reported the trial of a young chap who was accused of haviug sand clubbed a Jeweler in bis store und of looting tho establishment. Tho young fellow was good looking, Intelligent, with a face as frank as an eight day clock and an easy, candid, winning manner. "1 looked the young chap over before the trial began, and I decided that the accusation against him was outrageous. When the witnesses testified thai they'd seen him coming out of the store I stralued my oars to catch the false intonation in their tones, but It wasn't there. "When the defense opened the young man was permitted to go on the stand In Ills own behalf. I was aston'shed to find that tils voice had tho lying quaver in it right from the beginning of Ills statement. '?Ills words vastly Impressed the Jury and as vastly chagrined the pros edition. He undertook to prove an alibi for himself. "In corroboratton of this a married sister testified that bor brother bad been at her apartment from 3 o'clock In the afternoon until 10 o'clock at night, taking dinner with her and keep ing her company In the absence of her husband. ?Vell. she was lying too. She had that telltale false ring in her voice that convinced me of it despite her flue, frank face and her obvious re spectability. "The court adjourned for luncheon ft! the end of her testimony. I took bin boon with the attorney for the prosecution. " 'Well, what do you think of this case'/' he asked me when wo sat down. 'I guess we don'l land him. oh?' "Tie's guilty.' I replied briefly. 'He ivas lying, and so was bis sister.' "The attorney for tho prosecution looked me over out of the slits of bis eyes, but I didn't say any more. "When the court reconvened lie asked for an adjournment until next day. and tho Judge granted It. "On the following morning he had in court the janitor of the apartment house in which tho prisoner's sister lived. The Janitor testified that the prisoner's sister bad not been In her flat from noon until late at night on the day of the sand clubbing. "While the janitor was on tho stand n detective walked into tho courtroom with the loot from the Jewelry shop. He had found it In a satchel in tho prisoner's alster'a apartment that morn ing. "That settled the ease, of course. Tho prisoner's sister broke down and con fessed that she had boon endeavoring to shield her brother."?St. Louis Olobe Democrat. Women Who Secretly Work For r?y. "If you will kindly give me tho ad dress of the artist who painted my din ner cards I shall be able to give her more work," said a society woman to a Twenty-third street stationer. "I am not at liberty to do so, mad am," replied the stationer. "Rut if you will leave your Instructions in writing I will see that they are strictly follow ed." "But I wnnt her to carry out some Ideas of my own on lamp shades," pro tested the customer. "I am sorry," said the stationer, "but we cannot depart from our rule.

If an infant is weak and dors not grow satisfactorily, it must be meas ured for the "Undergrowth," according to a superstition In some Pennsylvania Dutch communities. A powwow doc tor, usually n woman, will strip the child, measure It with a Htrlng the same color as Its hair, say some "words," bury the string in a secret place and repeat the performance three times. The child will get well. Then are dozens of children In one Pennsyl vania Dutch community that were measured In this way and are now pointed to as examples and proof of the efficacy of the method. Ashes must not be taken from a fire place In a sickroom. The death of the patient would follow. Nor must tho bed of a sick person be turned over. It Is actually true that this last pro vision Is believed and followed in many Pennsylvania Dutch homes In tho old rcttlcmcnts of ttie state. Men *nd lints and Chnrches. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries hats were commonly worn by men in Protestant churches both on the continent of Europe and In Oreat Britain. Pepj'S notes In his dlnry as a singular circumstance that at the French Chureil at the Savoy he saw, on Sept. 28, 1002, what ho had never seen bo fore?viz, a clergyman preaching with bis hat off. Another author of the period says some congregation" took oft their hats When they sang tho Psalms, but kept their heads covered If they read them. The custom almost died out after the restoration, but was revived again by William III. When William, however, found the Dutch habit caused offense to his English subjects ho diplomat Irally remained bareheaded during the prayers and then put on his hat for the sermon. Poloworth says the custom survived In Truro church as late as the yeai 1800. You can find here all sizes and styles in lamps from the large decorated par lor lamps to the small hand lamps.
