One Gigantic String of Gorgeous Pageantry, a Glittering Mass of Brilliancy and Bands Galore. A Riddle for the Cotton Grower. A bale of cotton, weighing 500 pounds, will make about 1,000 yards of calico. To make the calico, at no present prices of cotton, will cost about $102.50 In all. Let us say that the spinners only gets an average of 5 cents a yard for his calico or $150 for the 3,000 yards. In that case, he clears a net profit of $41.50 on each bale. On a crop of 12,000,000 bales, the spinners will make a profit of $498, 000,000. At 4 cents per yard, he clears $216,000,000. What do you think of that? I can understand well enough why the spinner outs himself to some ex? pense and trjuble to meet the grower In conference. He has a natural curiosity to see what such a blamed fool looks like. The thing which puzzles The Jeffer sonian Is this: ' How on earth does the spinner manage to keep his face straight when he meets the man that he so easily, so constantly, and so unmercifully robfc? * This calico cost you from 6 to 8 cents per yard. Therefore, you sell 500 pounds of cotton for less than $60 and buy It back at more than $180. No wonder you are so prosperous that all the Plute newspapers are ask? ing you to ring the bells, light the bonfires, toot the whistles blow the bugles, and do everything else in God Almighty's world excepting just one thing: Don't study the construction of the trap in which you are caught. Keep selling a bale of cotton at $60 and buying it back at $180. That's one way to please the Privi? leged Few who pocket the $120 which you lose on each bale.?Exchange.

There is more Catarrh In this sec? tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be In? curable. For a great many years, doc? tors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment prononuced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken internally In doses, from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
