While the Chi o ese are in the suicide business it would be a geed thing if the emperess dowager, who is? aooosed of ' being at the bottom of ail the devil? ment, eould be purscaded to eat gold leaf. The enthusiasm and the im mease crowds that greet Bryan io New York City indicate that be will receive a large vote.

Aicxacder ? Co's "Conon Movement and Ficctuatioos,'' wbicb has becoiue a standard cottoc book of refer? ence. The? 9pecia! features of tbe nook tbia year are : The review of tba Cotton Trade cf the World, written expressly for this edition by the distinguished statistician, Mr. Tboaa3 Ellison, of Liverpool, the illustrations and a history of tbe Liverpool Cotton Exchange. Beside3 the usual Tables ct Receipts, Stocks, Exports, Consumption, Acreage, total visi? ble supply and fluctuations, there is much interesting original matter that cannot be found elsewhere ia such a concise form. The book also contains the Annual Review of the Cotton Trade for tbs past season. This pub? lication is issued for gratuitous distribution among the friends and customers of the firm of latham, Alexander ? Co. and is valued by all who receive it. We have for years kept the book on onr desk and have fon od it invaluable.] GROWTH OF THE COTTON MILL INDUSTRY Graphic evidence of the rapid growth of the oottoo oil! mdut-try io thc South is famished by a comparison of the cotton consumption, says thc New York Post. Daring thc year ended August SI, last, thc Northern mills purchased 2,OGS,OOO. bales, against 2, 027,000 io 1891, while the taking? of the Southern mills were 1,597,000, against 604,00 io 1891. This would seem to indicate that Northern con gumption remained stationary as com? pared with ten years ago, while Sooth ero consumption in the same period much more than doubled But, great ss has been the increase io thc South, the growth in the near future will b?. even mere rapid. Last year 800,000 oew-spindles were put io operation in the South, and 1,418,000 spiodles are io course of erection. This means that vrttnin a year the South will have ID operation 28 per cent more spindles than it now has, and 55 per cent more than it had a year ago. And this in turo means-assuming that the new mills will spin yarns of the present average cumber-that in another year the South will be consuming approxi mately as touch co eton as the North. The Southern Farm Maga? zine. In its November issue the Southern Farm Magazine makes an offer that anyone who subscribes to it before December 31, 1900, will receive it for one year at the nominal cost of 25 cents. This offer is made in a desire that every farmer in the south, and, in fact, every farmer in the conntry who wants to know of southern opportunities and eouthern prospects should read the Magazine, and that it may be in the hands of every man and every woman interested in the upbuilding of thG eouth and aiming to keep abreaet of the advancement of that section in agriculture and manufacturing The aim of the Magazine is to be an exponent of the best that is in the south, an inspira? tion to healthy growth in all lines of activity and a source of entertain? ment for the family on the farm or in the town. Southern farmers have bright prospects at the turn of the century. They will be better fixed to enjoy the good thingB coming to them in 1901 if they start the year and the century with the knowledge that the Southern Farm Magazine will be a regular monthly visitor to their homes The November issue contains, among a variety of interesting papers, one by Elias Edmonds of Texas on the growth of truck raising in that State, which is full of sugges lions for truck-raisers in other parts of the south ; one by J. G Pratt, urging the south to enter broadly upon the cultivation of flax for seed and Cher as a winter crop : one by Coi J B Killebrew on trees, indi? cative of the kinds of soil, and one by A Saxon, sketching recent mani festatioDS of the negro race as bear ing upon the south's labor problem The editoiiai, the literary and family departments are full of good things The Southern Faim Magazine is published monthly by the Manufac turere' Record Publishing Co, Balti? more, M J Price $1 a year For new subscribers between Oct 27 aud Dec ol, 25 cents a year To Your Tents, O Igrael. Some of the most forcible appeals fer the defeat of McKinley and elec j tion of Bryan are uttered by Jewish ! rabbis One of the most remarkably cf U.ese statements, short, sharp and decisive, comes from Rabbi Charles Fleischer, cf Boston, one of toe most prominent Jewish preachers in the United ?tares. Rabbi Fleischer j said : in taking the position I have 1 feel i that I have not espoused the cause of I Bryan so much as the cause of my country and cf demccracy Four years ago 1 voted for Mc Kinley, aud I have spent some part ! of these last four years in regretting 1 that - vote. When that culminated ! what to me seems an cpen, high banded abandonment of America's fundamental principies, no choice was 'eft to me except to join those who pretested against such undemo eratic proceedings, and who pledged themselves to bring America back, to Americans Every other consideration must be subordinated to the absolute and immediate necessity of maintaining America as a consistent, constitution al republic !t is sheer folly to fear, or to pre i tend to fear, the ruin of this country j in the event of Bryan's election Hard limes Vvill come during the ? next four years, even if McKinley is ; reelected And belter times will come again even under President Bryan. In any case, give me a decade of material hardship and suf? fering, with our country's democracy i untainted, rather than a century of; unbounded prosperity under an im- j perialistic republic Buy the celebrated Old Hickory Wagon from Vi .li.
