LOCAL COMMENT
ON SITAUTION
IN COTTON
Local cotton mills are still the only
buyers of spot material in the Au
gusta market.
Cotton took another tumble today.
Old middling is quoted at 10 1-2 cents
and new cotton at 9 3-4 cents, on the
Augusta market.
The plectrtc storm of Tuesday after
noon did considerable damage around
Augusta. Up the Georgia railroad il
developed Into a hail storm, but not
much damage is reported.
Ther, will be nothing doing on Cot
ton Row until the situation changes.
Buyers are awaiting orders and sell
ers are looking for an advance in
prices.
The sale of bagging and ties is
easily a month behind last year, ac
cording to reports from dealers.
They are at sea as to whether to at
tribute the condition of affairs to a
short crop or the financial situation,
which has probably prevented buyers
front purchasing, as all the business
is transacted on a cash basis.
Thirty-eight, new hales of cotton
came to town today, five of which
wore received by wagon.
HEALTH NOT ALL
A
What Is tne unknown of today be
comes the known of tomorrow Had
the world followed this advice of Mr.
Mact'enroll we would have only ths
scht f tne lance and the leech to
day ‘ Hove" physical suffering.
The -Srhrrl of Metaphysical
Thought” and pirtual healing, which
man Is told to give up studying, lent
Mr MacCannell the motive power of
his theory. He has Included the laws
which they tench In his own practical
system of healing
Without those lows his ystem would
be incomplete.
I have not the slightest question but
that this system of healing which Mr
MacConnell gives to the world, would,
If carefully followed, relieve nine
tents of all the physical maladies »f
the race.
But there is somethi-g more In life
than keeping well; sone'Mng more to
be considered Cmn health,"d mato
rial prosperity. It •* a g-od fh'eg to
have a perfect 'j'gestlon, and to bs
able to pay the rent regularly; but
L,at does not make life wor'h living
unless other things are added.
Most of ug who reach rr.l'd'e ’lf*,
miss loved faces from our rc«r ctr
cle. Vacant chairs leave lone’y pli'ea
in the home. However « icllenf out
digestive apparatus may be, If our
hearts still cherish memories of those
gone before, the s'udy of the “Un
known,” and some definite Ideals of
the land to which our loved ones have
gone, is a source of great happiness
to us. Vigorous health, moderate suc
cess *nd great happiness have fallen
to my share in life; yet not health
and not the rewards of agreeable pur.
suits, have brought me the hacplr-is*
I have found In the patient sutdy and
understanding of the laws of rein
carnation.
Whq should Mr. MacCepnell nend
forth an edict that any mlftit eager
enough for such knowledge, to carry
lon the study, must give It up? There
are thousands of robust and sensible
people on esrth who find great eon
i solation In the consciousness of the
| presence of Invisible helpers and great
friends In the spaces about us.
It asked to shut away this knowl
edge from their minds, In order to lir,
i prove their digestion, I am sure they
would prefer seasons of Indisposition
Hut good health, sucre** | n hush
nes*, helpfulness to humanity and the
J pursuit of spiritual truth* may all be
enjoyed by us If we open wide all the
window* of our soul*

A MODERN MAUD MILLER. •
Dedicated to George Glenn, of Whit
field, the Dress Reformer.
Maud Muller on a summer's day
linked the nioadow, sweet with hay.
Maud was clad In a simple gown
And her thick black hair was Man;;
lug down
She wore neither ribbons nor fur-br
lows,
And 'math her dress peeped her
naked tors.
Her face* was bathed In an honest
sweat
And she looked like nobody's darling
o’ pet.
A horse name by in a rapid canter
Willi George GJenn, mounted, Just
from Atlanta.
George looked hard al the busy lass;
He gazed so long that he broke Ills
glass.
And he said to himself as he heaved
a sigh,
“Hhe'll do very well when no other
Is nigh!”
(Hut he never looked hack a 3 In
climbed the lane,
And he never returned hy that, road
again. I
A year w-nt by and George one day
Saw Maud Muller who had come to
stay
111 the great big town. She was
dressed to kill;
Her hat alone ruined a Century Mil
Bhc *had dress that was pek-a
boo
And high was the heel on her tiny
shoe.
Her stockings wire dropped sttcln 6
made of fine allk,
Her fare was all powdered ns whll
as skimmed milk,
Her cheeks were aflame with Parln
iao bloom ■
And about hei there floated a sub
tie perfume.
George paused* In amaze arid at
tempted to speak,
I tut Maud sliM him up. 'You've got
too much cheek.
“I remcniM 1 the day you rode up the
hill
And novrr gazed bark, although 1
stood still
”1 don’t like our tie and I don't
like your hat.
You look like a guy and you're ga
