* MOTHER'S DAY. * The second day in May is observed as "Mother's Day," and a happy thought it is that on this day the virtures and kindness of the best person on earth is brought to mind. There is no one like mother to every true soul, and to mako glad her heart, help bear her burden, and smooth her path is one of those precious duties that in turn sheds its i'u^runif upuu me uuui. On the anniversary of the death of her mother, Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia sat in her quiet home and thought of the noble, self- sacrificing life that had gone from her, and in loving that serene and sainted one she was emulating her virtues. How many, thought Miss Jarvis, yet have their mother with them; and thus originated the idea of setting apart the second Sunday of May as "Mother's Day." On this day the white rose or carnation is to be worn. The white is a symbol of purity of the mother's life. The fragrance of the rose speaks of the sweetness of her love. Its form of her beauty; its wide field of growth, blooming nearly everywhere, of her charity; its lasting qualities of mother's fidelity; its appropriateness on all occasions, at the funeral and the marriage, of her universal service. All these are the virtues of mother?the dearest being on earth. The object of this day is to brighten the lives of the mothers and help them in their tasks. If you are away from home, to writ? mother a cheering letter, telling her of your love and all that she has done for you. If the mother has been called to a higher home recall the sacred memories, recount her virtues, and enter into the spiritual usefulness of that noble life. This is a day for all; for every one has a mother on earth or in heaven. And a mother is God's greatest gift next to that of His Son. n A/1 ilinilirllf f A <viiT/v vnvu^uv VU ftlVC tUC O VV t thing In his almighty power To earth; and deeply pondering What it should be?one hour, In fondest joy and love of heart, Outweighing every other. He moved the fates of heaven apart, And gave to earth?a mother!" "Oh that those lips had language!" sighed Cowper as he looked at the picture of his dead mother. And these lips have language, and "call" to us long after the hour of her departure. Earth has no road and the ocean no place where we cannot hear the voice of mother. The long years gone silence it not. Great distances do not make it indistinct. Many have felt the hand of a sainted mother on their shoulder, guiding them in the right path. No ocean shell can be taken so far but. that it will repeat the murmur of its ocean home. So in the heart is the memory of mother. The holiest thing on earth is motherhood. The sweetest is childhood. Nothing comes so near to* God as mother both in the giving of life and in love. None give and nourish life like God and a mother. A mother's love 's like the vestal fires that never died out on the alter. A mother's love is the flame of the Divine love burning in a human heart. Bcecher said that a violet is the sweetest thing God ever made and forgot to put a soul in. But God didn't forget to put a soul in a mother. "My angel mother," said one of the greatest of men. Lincoln turned the wine cup down and said he promised his mother to taste not. Cannon Liddon, the famous preacher, said he would never forget his mother's words: "Son, you may become a great scholar, but will you become a true Christian?" When the Hon. Earl Brewer was inaugurated Governor of Mississippi, some one asked his mother if this was not the happiest day of her life. That noble mother replied, "No, my happiest day was when my son joined the church." Moody said he could never pay his debt of gratitude to his mother. Dr. Theodore Cuyler said: "For 44 years I have been preaching the Gospel, and would not change places with a King, but I doubt of ever I would have been drawn to the service of Jesus Christ but for the faithfulness of that home preacher who rocked my cradle." "Of all the names to memory dear. One name alone to me is dearest. Though many to me are near, Yet this shall ever be the nearest For on my heart's most sacred place 'Tis deeper crraved than anv other: For naught from thence shall e'er erase The lovely, the honored name of mother." There is a legend that three angels were sent out to bring back to heaven the most beautiful thing. One angel caught up in her hands a dew drop smiling on a flower and reflectthe glory of the sun. One angel found the smile of an innocent child, and said, "This is the most beautiful thing on earth." The other angel took a mother's love. The three angels hurried to heaven. When the pearly gates of Paradise were reached, the dew-drop had vanished; the smile of the child was gone; only the mother's love remained unchangedIt is fresher than a dewdrop, sweeter than a child's smile, pure as the throne, as sweet as the song of the angels, and as lasting as heaven. A mother's love is pure enough to be taken to heaven. The Cross of the Legion of Honor and Andrew Carnegie's "hero medals" could well be given to many nameless mothers. Nobody calls her brave; but she does always the brav a J 1_ fit. ? - est ueeus. one never leaves the battlefield of life. Her life has inspired all great SOns and daughters. Her religion and love have made the statesman and the poet. From these lov.ely homes have gone the gallant warriors. It is the mother's love that inspires to the best, and it is the mother's hand that fashions the noble lives. "So, boys, we pledge our mother's lives White aims that shall not shame them, And live with purposes so pure, Our deeds shall never grieve them. Though some have passed away from earth, Their memories still nerve us, Today we kiss the sacred flower In honor of their service. Could they but speak to us today, Their prayer of all creation, Of this fair white carnation-" Would be for us the stainless life ?Charlotte Observer?By C. F. Sherrill.

SAYS NEW LAW WILL AID THE COTTON GROWER Washington, May 11.?Of more than passing interest to the farmers of South Carolina, and particularly the cotton growers, is the measure introduced and passed through the efforts of Senator E. D. Smith, requiring the Department of Agriculture to test the tensile strength, that is, the yarn-making quality oi^ each and every grade of cotton; to bleach every grade whether in the form of yarn or cloth, in order to determine the cost and the result of the bleaching; to estimate carefully the amoun of waste in each grade incident to converting it into yarn and cloth; to estimate carefully the value of this waste. From this it will readily be seen that the result of these experiments will be of incalculable benefit to the grower. This measure became a law at the last session of congress and the Department of Agriculture is now engaged in the work of investigation. It will give the producer the requisite knowledge from an impartial official source of the real commercial value of every grade of cotton. As is well known, both the export and domestic buyers make a difference between middling and the lower grades from $1.25 to $15 per bale. The producer had no way of knowing whether this was right, just or not. TTa h.J ? a Ai.-* (IUU vv tanv vuc WVFXA& U1 lt\Q trade. By virture of this law he will be furnished a bulletin giving him.; full knowledge of all these facts. So that when he comes to market he will be thoroughly informed as to the* value of, every grade in reference toj its manufacturing value, and will not have to take the word of an interested party. In conjunction with the above law, the grades have standardized by the government. Senator Smith has begun the campaign to have every shipping point in the cotton-growing States furnished with a set of these standardized samples, that is, every shipping point where there is a sworn weigher or other competent official to take charge of them. It can be readily seen that, with the knowledge furnished by the provision which is already law, as to the value of each grade, that if each shipping point is furnished with a set of sam? c'?-o, mt laimci wiiu comes w market to sell is thoroughly equipped to protect himself against beihg buttcoed or deceived as to his cottdh is and th? ------Jll| grade. To illustrate, when a farmer' comes to market where there is a set of standard samples, he can determine himself what his grade is and not be dependent upon the buyer to say what the grade is. When the grade has been determined by comparison with the government standard, the farmer then can determine the value of that grade by reference to the government tests furnished linn. iui suppose me buyer offers the producer a half cent or three-quarters of a cent less for his low middling than for middling. Suppose the farmer by reference to his bulletin, finds that, according to government tests, low middling for manufacturing purposes is as valuable as middling. With this knowledge, he can demand the same price for his low middling as he does for middling and it would be up to him whether he takes less or demands the same. In a word, he will be in possesoion of all knowledge available in reference to the value and the grade of his cotton that the mill man and buyer has, and can govern himself accordingly. In Senator Smith's opinion this is the most important legislation ever enacted in behalf of the cotton grower. Senator Smith has reintroduced and is pushing his bill looking to the regulation of cotton exchanges. This is the same measure that came near passing at the last session of congress. Briefly stated, this bill provides that in each and every contract for the future delivery of'cotton the grade or grades contracted for shall he specifically named in the contract, and such grade or grades as are named shall be according to government standardization. This will legalize the standardized grades in interstate commerce and give the sane tion of law to the use of the standurd grades in every State. In commenting upon Senator Smith's measure providing for cotton tests, Dr. N. A. Cobb, chief technologist of the Department of Agriculture asys: "Preliminary negotiations have been Dracticallv comnleted with nn# of the best equipped textile school* and also one of the leading cotton mills of the South for making the waste tensile strength and bleaching tests of the different grades of cotDoc Osier says a man is no good at sixty. Unquestionably he is right in a great many cases, and he might have added these men were also no good at twenty, thirty, forty or fifty.
