iHERE is a something which many peo-
I pie call “Society.” In almost every
| community there is what the people
s
denominates the 4 'best society.” Some
times the people who compose it are called the
‘‘leaders in society,’’ the hoi aristoi,” the “up
per ten,” the “four hundred.” It is often
times an exclusive set, and because it is ex
clusive, many people otherwise informed who
do not understand what this “best society”
really is, desire to get into it and become a
member of it. They are like the flies that are
struggling to get into a trap which has been
set with a savory smell. Poor, deluded ones,
they do not know r that the thing they crave
is the thing that kills.
Sometimes this “Society” is spoken of as be
ing composed of “the best people.” That does
not mean that they are righteous, that they
are pure and clean, or even outwardly moral
in their conduct. The fact is that the “best
society” may be and often is the worst society
in the community in which its members re
side. The people who compose it may be weal
thy, may be thought cultured, may even be
members of some “fashionable church,” but
the fact is, that the influence of that “best
society ’ is often baneful to the last degree.
The “best society” is often composed of the
leaders in extreme, extravagant and vulgar
fashion. When a dance more obscene than
the rest is devised, they are the first to be
come and adopt it. If the saloon invents a
new form of evil and introduces into it inde
cent, degraded and prostitute women who
serve drinks to besotted and degraded men,
moving up and down among the tables only
half clad, exciting the basest passions, and by
their very bearing inviting the vilest sugges
tions and engagements for the most immoral
purposes I say, if the saloon introduced a

Two Grateful Users of Horn of
Salvation.
Carrollton, Ga., March 1, 1902.
It is with genuine pleasuree that I
testify to the wonderful curative pow
er of Horn of Salvation. For years I
was afflicted with .rheumatism and
used the Horn of Salvation in Novem
ber and I was relieved from first ap
plication, and am now clear of pain
and feel certain that I am curede. I
cheerfully recommend it to all who
suffer with any kind of pains or aches.
Respectfully,

then these people who call themselves the
“best society” introduce a cabaret party, and
appear in costumes which simulate the cos
tumes of the girls in the real cabaret, and
whose appearance cannot do other than excite
in the men vile passions and, indeed, in some
considerable measure at least, the same moral
degradation and the same social and physical
ruin as the real cabaret. These “best peo
ple” instead of imitating the best things and
setting the best example, imitate the worst
things and exert the worst influence upon the
community at large of any people who reside
within its bounds. The dastardly doings on
the first floor of a “house of shame” are not
more disgraceful than what these “best peo
ple” of the “best society” often pride them
selves upon in many of their fashionable pub
lic gatherings. And even then, if they were
ashamed of their doings, it would not be so
bad; but, in their cabaret attire, they have
pride and pleasure in posing before the cam

MORE PROFIT FROM COTTON
There is no surer way to increase
cotton profits than by taking advan
tage of every opportunity offered to
reduce the cost of production. One
of the most expensive operations in
cotton growing is that of chopping,
yet the cost of chopping cotton can be
reduced more than can the cost of
any other feature. This is made pos
sible by the introduction of the Amer
ican Cotton Chopper—a recent inven
tion of Mr. D. S. Ballance, a farmer,
of Wysocking, N. C.
This machine is operated by one
man and one mule and does the work
of eight men chopping by hand, at
one-fourth the cost. For instance, it
takes eight men one day to chop eight
acres, and they cost eight dollars. One
man with one mule and the American
Cotton Chopper can chop the same
eight acres in one day at a cost ot
two dollars. In other words, the chop
per saves its owner six dollars on
every eight acres of cotton, and on
fifty acres it would save $37.50.
Aside from the standpoint of sav
ing, there is another very attractive
feature about the American Cotton
Chopper. This is the fact that it re
lieves the farmer from his dependence
upon lazy, shiftless labor, and elimi
nates the possible loss from shortage
of hands.
Mr. Ballance’s invention has been dem
onstrated entjrely practicable upon all
kinds of land by many wide awake farm
ers. Anyone desiring more information
can secure same from the manufactures.

large by giving the indecent exposures of
these “best people” of the “best society.”
When you come to analyze the character
of the “best people” of this “best society,” as
judged by their entertainments, their cigar
ettes and the effects of their champagne, a
sane and sensible person cannot but be forced
to the conclusion that as for himself, his wife
and his children, their social and moral well
being is greatly advanced, and their happiness
greatly increased by contentedly dwelling
without the pale of the “hoi aristoi,” the “up
per ten,” the “four hundred,” the “best peo
ple” of the “best society.”
In the small towns “the society people” may
not be able to frame their entertainments upon
the basis of an outlay of from $15,000 to $20,-
000, spending as much as from $6,000 to SB,-
000 for plants and cut flowers for use in a
single evening. Champagne, cigarettes and in
decencies may not constitute so prominent a
feature in their entertainments, but too often
these “people of the best society” are never
theless the leaders in the very worst that the
public sentiment of the community in which
they live is willing to tolerate.
