Atlanta. Oa.. Oct. 28.?President Chas. B. Barrett, of 1 the National Farmers* Union, today Issued a call for meetings of all county and parish unions on November 9. to arrange for holding cotton for 15 cents. In his call President Barrett urges the farm? ers to hold together now for that price, as a firm stand at this time will bring them the result they de? sire. A Reliable Remedy for Croup. ?Mrs. 3.

John Sharp Williams taps the co coanut and draws the milk when he says that while the white, black, yel? low and red races are not the same physically, mentally, morally, nor In any sense equal, actually or potential ty, and cannot be made so by plat? forms or laws, yet they are creatures of one God, and In the face of a greart problem it would be well that all wise men think more, that good men pray more.and that all men talk less and curse less. But wise men do as they are bid? den by Mr. Williams. The well-mean? ing fool and the hoodlums who start riots and the hoodlums who make "Inflammatory" speeches are the fac? tors for fomenting race strife. The .well-meaning fool whose mlsgukled efforts are bent upon the solution of th* negro problem in the South re? sides, as a rule, In a section of the North where as little is known of ac? tual conditions In the South as the av? erage American knows of conditions In the Congo. The hoodlums who ex? press themselves in action are North? erners and Southerners. It is no more difficult to beat up a murderous mob in Ohio than it Is In Mississippi. The hoodlums who express themselves from the platform or from their seats in deliberative bodies are too often charlatans from the South who belch fire and brimstone with no higher, purpose than that of advertising themselves, and who libel every South* rn State when they cut their ca? pers before high heaven. It would be going too far to say that there would be no negro problem in the United States if the foolklller did not shirk his duties, or that there would be no race question upon the Pacific slope, but a large part of the friction between whites and blacks and the white and yellow races has been due to his failure to acquit him? self gloriously.

Mr. Duncan Went After Fair Asso? ciation With (.loves oil and Spoke Forcibly on a Mock of Sin. "A stain has bcm left, which can never be Wiped away. A picture hM been painted noon the retina of the eyes of the youth of this county, which cannot be obliterated for years, which makes them less pure than before. These things have been done by reason of the condensed wicked? ness, the loud obscenity, the lewd sights which stalked abroad and were flung In the faces of Christian men, women and children during the fair which has Just closed." These are a few of the strong sen? tences which were uttered yesterday by Mr. Duncan, pastor of the Asso? ciate Reformed Church on the "Shame of the Midway." Mr. Duncan took for his text the 9th verse of the 14th chapter of Pro? verbs, "Fools make a mock of sin." He began by saying that he had no apology to make for what he was go? ing to say; that it was the duty of a preacher and of all Christian peo? ple to enter their protest against the license, the lewd wickedness, the ram? pant immorality, which characterized the conduct of the fair, and that those who stood by. looked on and coun tenced It, were Just as guilty as any. "What is It to make a mock of sin? First, It is to make light of sin. This was the sin of the old-time people, and today it is becoming popular again. "Aaron trku to make light of sin when he erected the golden calf in the wilderness, and as a result blood flowed like water. Achan tried to make light of sin when he stole the gold and silver from the tent of his captain, and Solomon tried It, and all of those lived to see their shame. "Rome, the mistress o fthe world, made light of sin, and crumbled. Vol talr brought on the French revolu? tion, which made blood run red in the streets of Paris by making light of sin. "To make a mock of sin, is to en? courage it, and make money out of sin is* to mock It. "The fair association, in order to make a few paltry dollars, thought It necessary to have the fair run in such a way that the State has been hurt, because Its laws have been trampled upon; the church has suf? fered, for whatever assails the church hurts it, and the moral sense of the community has been lowered for no pure man could walk that midway and still be pure. "The children of this city and country were carried to the fair In a body, with their young minds re? ceptive and tender for the touch of sin. They were allowed to look upon sights, the like of which I have never seen before. Pictures which would make the dance of Salome before Herod pale Into insignificance were flung in their faces. They were shown men robbing the people In spite of the law and they were made' to feel the glittering beauty of sin in Its awfulnoss, and to "Make a mock of sin," and in the years to come, the scene will linger with them* to the shame of the community and to tho fair association."?Charlotte News, Oct. 28. , * Pneumonia Follows a Cold but never follows the use of Foley's Honey and Tar.

Columbia, Oct. 29.?Walter Allen, life man who escaped from the pen? itentiary recently reported for duty there today. He had been preceded by a letter, rfom his horn?, in the Greenville county mountain vectlon. saying that he would return before the week was out. He stated that his wife was very Ul with consumption, and that ho had desired to see her before she became worse.

A bale of cotton, weighing 500 pounds, will make about 3,000 yards of calico. To make the calico, at the 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 clean a net profit of $41.50 on each bale. On a crop of 1'2,000,000 bales, 'the spinners will make a profit of $4 98, 000,000. At 4 cent! per yard, he clears $216,000,000. What do you think of that? I can understand well enough why the spinner puts himself to some ex? pense and trouble 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 robs? 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. Xo 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 Pew#who pocket the $120 which you lose oh each bale.?Exchange. Lingering Cold. ?Withstood Other Treatment. But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.?"Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lin? gered for weeks," says J. ITrquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cough was very dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, so I gave it a trial. One small bottle of it cured me.
