Juat as fast as the cotton could be picked It haa been forced on the market, and a bale of cotton tn October. Itll, brings about half the price that a bale brought a year ago. And it was plain to be seen that the cotton all opened a month ahead of time, and that the fields would be bare when the second picking waa don* and over with. But the rush never abated for aa fast as the price declined the faster the bales were crowded on the buy ers. They took the buyer's price with out any demur. They reminded me oi a flock of sheep, when the bellwether plunged into the ditch. They went »•« all the faster, following his lead to their own loss and damage, without looking to the right or left. It haa been an object lesson for the looker on. It has been a good deal worse for the producer and his family, than an ob ject lession. and although the mule traders will get big money or take back their mules, the mule trade will fctop this winter, like It was sick or knocked in the head. The speculators make some big money, but the great mass of farmers will come out lean and stricken because they deter • mined to sell, live or die. like rats for sake a burning barn. They got too badly scared to see they were in a panic and I predict the dullest trade this win ter that we have seen for a dozen years, and the men who made this cotton will be poor enough when they start the crop of 1912 to satisfy their worst ene mies. “Back to the farm, ’ will be a forgot ten song.

I have missed an education I having lost mother when I was young 1 I have craved an education so much, ant' t have a sympathy for all who are unabl* j to get one. I have a desire to put a plar. of a trust fund before our country peoph < for the purpose of giving any boy 01J girl a higher education than they coul J obtain in the schools here. I mean an? ■ one who wishes it. and is not able t< ■ pay for it now. I have an idea, but don’t know just how to put It befor-1 >tho people. I will state the Idea and ask you to please outline the plan for me: Let every county officer who desires to be elected next fall obligate himself if elected to give one-fourth of his salary to this fund, and each succeeding one one fifth for 10 or 15 years. Chen let all who will donate as much as they will and ask the state school authorities or whoever from the state it would be right to ask to help us. I don’t know how it runs, but I crust you will understand my Idea, and give me a plan I can put before the people. I mean for the boys and girls to be of our county and worthy in every way. I read your letters with much pleasure and have often wished you could live in my own county. I just feel like we would all be uplifted by your influence. I regret that I am un able to show you my appreciation of your life as I see It I will just say. May you live as long as possible. If you will pardon a few personal remarks, I will tell you a little of myself that you may know better who you are befriend ing. I am 34 years old, and have one child, a boy of 10 years: have bad health, doctors say I have pellagra. I try to live as sensibly as I can and am doing some better now. Please pardon personal men tion, and if I can ever -serve you, it will bea pleasure. Thanking you, I am, Yours, X. X. X. • SYSTEM IN DOMESTIC WORK. Dear Mrs.. Felton: Sines reading your letter In The Journal on the request of a young matron wanting to shorten do mestic duties I have wondered if you think my experience and systematic work would be of any value to young matrons. I live on a farm and do all my work except the laundry. I plan and system atize my work, to do the most work in the least possible time. In the first place let me pay, by all means, fit your kitchen with plenty of utensils of all kinds. A 15 bill spent occasionally for labor-saving devices is money well spent, even if you have to curtail on dress or give ;Up a trip. Have a place for everything and be sure that everything is kept in its place. Strive to be a companion to your hus band and a true mother to your children. Td accomplish this we cannot slave with nerve-wrecking, back-breaking work from sun to sun. • We must spend a good por tion of . our time reading the leading top ics of the day. If we keep up on subjects that are of interest our husbands and children they will not leave home for companionship as many are doing. We must visit. A pleasant evening spent with friends has in a measure lift ed many a care, with work resumed cheerfully, while if I had stayed at home and worried over numberless buttonholes to be worked, the multitude of stockings to be mended, I would have retired wk- I-will-never-get-through nervousness. The household helps we learn from the ex perience of others, a point on child cul ture or a bit of interesting news gleaned more than repays the time we neglected (?) domestic duties. Do your work and do it well, but plan work and means ahead, and manage to do several things in the time it would take to do one if they came singly. The first thing to do on arising each morning, the house is to be thrown open, cover and pillows placed on chairs, beds thrown over footboard and left to air. When breakfast is over I clear off ta ble, place dishes in large dish pan. pour hot water over them, to which has be added a generous amount of soap or washing powder, another large pan is inverted over dishes to keep steam in and water warm while chickens are fed and milking done. Then inverted pan is taken off dishes, set dish drainer In it, v«£h dishes out of suds, stand in drainer, pour boiling water over them and leave them to drain while I wash and scald milk and stove vessels, put on vegetables (which were gather previous evening), roasts or meats that require long cooking. Then I am ready to churn.

BROTHEFFHNDS’iROTHER; ONE WEALTHY, ONE POOR WICHITA, Kas., Oct. 16.—After 30 years of futile search for each other, Ralph and Robert St. John met here yes. •terday. Ralph was selling tickets for a carnival company and his brother, a wealthy cattleman, of Canadian, Tex., had come to see the show. Ralph St. John ran away z from his home in AKron, Ohio, when he was 11 years old. He wanderqd over the coun try seeking the whereabouts of his fam ily, tracing them as far as Baltimore, and then to Patterson, N. 4., where he lost track of them. The brothers will go to Texas to live together. TO APPALACHIAN HANDI CRAFT EXHIBITORS The Atlanta Art Association has made arrangements with the Handicraft Committee for Georgia of the Appala chian Exposition for the loan of the collection for exhibition purposes in Atlanta The Art Association exhibition will be held in a fire proof building begin ning November 5 and will attempt to make sales for exhibitors, as was done In Knoxville, Tenn., where about 350 worth of craft work was sold.- Any ex hibitor objecting to the exhibition of his work in the proposed exhibit of the Art Association will please notify Mrs. J. O. Wynn, 1126 Peachtree St. ed, dishes taken from drainer, table laid for dinner. The burden of my work is over. I replenish the stove with wood and hie awffy to bed rooms. I hear sdme r one say, suppose you have morning qal!-* ers and your house all topsy turvy? True, but there is in every house a par lor or a guest room always ready to receive. I take off my apron and over sleeves and have no cause to be a nerv ous hostess, for the “bulk” of my din ner is cooking and fresh buttermilk cool ing in the well. When beds are made, rooms swept and dusted, I finish my dinner. By the time 1 prepare a dessert or salad, cook the bread, the -vegetables or mpats are done and are placed in warmed covered dishes, the bread wrapped in several thicknesses of clean linen, cook vessels washed and put away. I am through and the clock only striking 10. I have two hours in which to bathe and dress the children. After a hot refresh ing bath, I don a fresh dress and take one good hour’s rest in the hammock. My dinners may not be as piping hot as others, but they are warm and good. We always have vegetables, meats or fowl, fruits, salads, desserts or cake and ice cream, buttermilk or ice tea. It seems to me such a dinner is good enough for the most exacting husband and that he cannot help but enjoy the well prepared, daintily served cold sup per. My hour’s rest before dinner gives me strength to do ‘a long afternoon's sew ing, reading or visiting. If I have sewing to do, Mondays I cut out and roll up separately the number of garments I can finish by Thursday evening. Fridays I brush walls, sun beds, clean up bed rooms and do the week’s mend ing. Saturdays give dining room and kitchen a thorough cleaning and prepare for Sunday’s dinner. I do very little cooking on Sunday. \ Mrs. Felton, I am taking too much of your time, but before closing let me tell you of the deep reverence 1 have for you. My dear mother was taken from me at the age of 70. How I miss her love and guidance. I feel so incompe tent to make my home all a home should be. I pray that in years to come my children will think of home not as a room with four square walls, but as a home of love and peace and happiness. MRS. W. Alexander City, Ala. GOING AFTER WINTER EGGS A Few Simple Sugestions That Will Bring Good Results If Carried Out The laying hen is usually searching for what she needs to make eggs. She takes what she wants in the way o» food and lets the rest alone. If you compel her to taks what she doesn’t want or take nothing, why of course she will take what you provide, rather than starve to death, but sne won’t lay as many eggs. Therefore, we like the hopper methoa of feeding. We always provide a self feeder hung on the wall just high enough so the hens can eat what they want without wasting it on the floor. A better method is to provide a plat form 16 inches or so abova the floor, so the fowl can Jump up and down for the food and water they desire, and then go back to the litter to work for the grain that is scattered in It. In one apartment of the self-feeder is grit; another, charcoal; another, oys- Thia Ken Layed 1»8 Eggs in One Yeas. ter shells; another, equal parts of fine ly cracked corn, wheat, barley, and oats, in another, beef scraps; in still another is placed dry bran. You might think that the hens will eal too much, but they won’t; they will eat only what they want. When you find a hen that lives off of the feeder and gets fat and lazy, g OOAR nriY YEARS AGO TODAY July 1, 1861 —The Police Commissioners of the City of Bal timore Were Arrested by Order of Gen. Scott, and Impri soned in Fort McHenry—The Heavy Hand of Military Power ' Fifty years ago today the board of po lice commissioners of city of Baltimore felt the hea<y hand of military power, for, summoned from their beds in the ■mall hours of the night, their houses being surrounded by soldiers, they were made prisoners to the United States Five days previously the chief of police of the city, or marshal, George P. Kane was taken in a like manner. In the abruptness with which these officials were deprived of their liberty, in the dramatics ’ setting of the scene when the soldiers, marching silently, sur rounded their houses in the dark, in the absence of the usual warrant employed for an arrest in the process of law, and In the protests of the prisoners that they were guilty of no crime, but were the victims of unconstitutional and arbitrary acts on the part of the government, were the elements of a situation that have belonged to a military play depict ing some old-world story of conspiracy and war. The arrests were an illustration that in time of war a republic, no less than a monarchy, sometimes exerts its power on civilians In no gentle way. These Baltimore officials weVe held to be dis loyal to the government, plotting treason and preparing to give aid and comfort to the enemy. They were seised as pris oners of state, in which condition they were soon to find that a such a designa tion leaves no ground on which a person bearing it can even secure a definite statement of what he is accused. Some may have been unjustly immured. The very nature of a war between people of the same race and land made" their case the harder. Yet the position of the government left it no choice but to lay hold on all it could of those it deemed secret enemies, and keep them close until such time as their power to do mischief was thought to be gone; and there was also a key in the hands of most of these prisoners, with which at any time they could open their prison’s door—namely, the oath of allegiance to the L. 8. government. GEN. SCOTT’S ORDER ' The arrest of the Baltimore police of ficials was authorized on June 24, in an order from Gen. Scott to Maj. Gen. N. P. Banks, in command of the department of Annapolis, with headquarters at Fort McHenry. The order was delivered to Gen. Banks by a “Mr. Snethen of Baltimore, a gen tleman pf standing,” who was men tioned therein a» having just given the secretary of war and. Gen. Scott “im portant facts touching the subject of the union” in Baltimore. -It is the cpin'on of the es-’retary of war, and, I ned not add, my own,” the order lan, “that the blow shou'd be early struck to carry consternation into the ranks of our numerous enemies about here. Acebrdingly, it seems ad visable that you should take measures quietly to seize at ones and securely hold the four members of the Baltimore police board, viz. Charles Howard, Wil liam H. Gatcheli; J. W. Davis and C. D. Hincks, Esqs., together with the chief of police, G. P. Kane. General Banks—ex-member of congress, ex-governor of Massachusetts and at the beginning of the war president of the Illinois Central railroad—who had re ceived his commission on May 16, and had taken command at Fort McHenry on June 10, spent three days in investi gation in Baltimore before ordering the first <of the arrests thus authorized ARREST OF MARSHAL KANE. About 2 o’clock on the morning of June 27, 1,800 men were ordered under arms in Fort McHenry. Forthwith they were marched into Baltimore, with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets. Entering the city, "they had gone but a square,” says a newspaper dispatch of the day, “when a policeman in _ his cool summer uniform ana swinging his long baton, was observed crossing the street ahead. "Instantly the head of the column opened, the body stepped on, and the policeman found himself swallowed up and borne along in the resistless ad vance. , “Two squares ahead another policeman was discovered. Again the column open ed and another was engulfed. By the time the column reached the residence of the marshal, not less than 57‘ of the vigilant guardians of the night had thus been swallowed up.” The force being detailed to different she is usually too lazy to work arS too lazy to lay eggs and better be sent to the butcher. Scatter the whole grain, such as wheat, barley and corn in the litter. Feen them whole corn at night, especially on cool nights. They need a cropful to keep up the bodily heat overnight. Give them table scraps and green soon at noon. For green fobd we use cab bages, mangle wurtzels sugar beets, chopped apples, etc. Onions are also relished, but they are liable to flavoi the eggs. Noon is also a good time to feed green cut bone. Give them a little every other day, and only what they will eai up clean. It is a rich food, a great egg-produe er, and a little will go a long way. n you notice a looseness of the bowels after feeding it, cut down the-amount. Keep them always eager and their appetites sharp for fresh meat and cut bone, and you will get all the eggs you can expect. • Once in a while we.feed a mash tn the morning composed of bran, middling*, beef scraps, etc., mixed with a little milk or water. It musknot be wet and sloppy, but dry and crumbly. Feed them only what they will eat up quickly and cleafl. They shouldn’t be allowed to trample on any that 18 left over, or to leave any to became sour and foul. ' Fowls should have plenty of fresh water, ahd we never warm it. They like a cool, fresh drink ’the samg aa we do. Provide a dust bath so they may help to rid themselves of lice, x Use plenty of liquid louse-killer and keep the whole pen scrupulously If a variety of food is given there is no need of fear about plenty of eggs. Do not feed whole grttin in hoppers. Only the ground food, beef scraps ana bran is fed there. If these simple suggestions are car ried out, consistent with your local con ditions, the hens will do the Two dozen eggs every day will be just like finding 80 cents in change in the nest, according to our prices for fresh eggs in the locaf market. points, a strong body were ordered to proceed to the home of Marshal Kane. Arriving there, an officer rang the bell. An upper window was opened, a head appeared and Marshal Kane demanded who was wanted. He was told that it was he who was wanted, by the government of the United IStates. \ Dressing hastily, the marshal appear ed at the door, with the remark. “Why didn’t you bring five or six more regi ments and some artillery? If you -had sent me a note and a carriage I would have come without all this fuss.” The marshal was driven to Fort Mc- Henry under a strong escort. Here he was received with every courtesy by General Banks. Like the officer who now held, him a prisoner, Marshal Kane had beeh long in public Ufa Born in Ireland, he had come to Baltimore as a young man, had become prominent in politics and held the office of collector of the port under Presidents Fillmore and Tyler. At the beginning of the war he was known to have strong sympathies with the south, but on April 19 he had made every effort in his power to protect the Sixth Massachusetts regiment when it was set upon by the Baltimore mob. POLICE FORCE DISBANDS. After the arrest of Marshal Kane, General Banks issued a proclamation to the people of Baltimore, stating it was not his purpose to interfere in any way whatever with the legitimate govern ment of the city under the laws of the United States and of Maryland, and add ing: v “But unlawful combinations of men, organized for resistance to such laws, that provfte hidden deposits of arms and ammunition, encourage contraband traffic with men at war with the gov ernment, and while enjoying its protec tion and privileges, stealthily wait oppor tunity to combine their means and forces with those in rebellion against its author ity, are not among the recognized or ’’Light as a feather” BISCUIT ’ Cottolene /X biscuit that almost melt in your mouth.

Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Here is proof: x Natick, Mass., —* I cannot express what I went through during the Change of Life before I tried Lydia E.

I was finally told by two physicians that I had a tumor. “ I read one day of the wonderful cures made by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and decided to try it, and it has made me a well (woman.

The charges of the government against them were the subject by, the commissioners of a series of resolutions, protesting against “an arbitrary exer cise of military power” on the part of General Banks, and stating that in the opinion of the, board, “the forcible dis pensation v of ’ their functions suspends, at the same time, the active operation of the police law and puts the officers and men off duty for the present.” In accordance with these resolutions the commissioners together the police captains and ordered them to dis band the police forte and vacate she sta tion houses. Thereupon every police badge in Balti more was removed from the breast of its wearer and the batons of the entire force were laid down. . SEARCH REVEALS ARMS. General Banks at once began to police the city. Strong guards of soldiers were encamped in Monument square, Exchange place, at the Camden, street station and at other Important points, and the direc tion of the police department was turn ed over temporarily to Col. John R. Ken ly, of the First Maryland infantry as provost marshal, with orders immediate ly to swear in enough “good men and true” to fill 'the places of the Baltimore police force. Coincident with this action, General Banks caused the headquarters of the police department and the various sta fion houses to be searched for arms. In his report to General Scott he stated: “The headquarters of police resembled a concealed arsenal. Large quantities of arms and ammunition were found secret ed in such places and with such skill as to prohibit the thought of their being held for just or lawful purposes.” At headquarters the collection included 1 Ml ]7 4 PAIR WINDOW CURTAINS EASILY EARNED Ladles, send roe your name and addreu, plainly written, and I will mail you postpaid on consignmeM twelve boxes Thompson’s famous Healin g and Complexion Cream todisposeof amon«friend,at 25 cents a box.
