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.

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.
