6 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 A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.

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 era to aid in the penny-policy of the editor who is willing to use the pictorial pages of his Sunday issue to debauch the public at EVANGELICAL EPIGRAMS (By Elam Franklin Dempsey, B.

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.

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.
