* 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.

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

religion and love have made the

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

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

in a great many cases, and he might
have added these men were also no
