‘•Cotton has decline] to a level even
below cost of production, and the in
evitable readjustment must come
sooner or later”.
The above is taken from a letter of
Payne, Murphy A Cos., of Atlanta.
Rioidao & Co.’a letter from New
York has the followfag to say in re—
gat’d to our cotton crop. “A disposi
tion to raise crop estimates to 10.000
000 bales is ijuite current.”
Cant you see that such reports are
intended to mislead our cotton raisers
and to somewhat pacify them by ma
king them believe they are exceeding
ly fortunate in rinding anxious men
to irive their cotton to for the price
that is set and held by big compa
iiies who have the money, but who,
in all probability never saw a field of
cotton. This is all wiwng; and should
not be tolerated.
And we feel safe saying that if the
Ten Cent Cotton Company is given
the proper aid financially this cotton
raising will become tne most profit—
able business in the United Slates.
Is it not a burning shame that the
millions of southern cotton planters
depend entirely upon the people of
the north and east to set the price ol
their cotton? We say yes!
It is high time for such conditions
ito cease. In another column you
will find the notice from tl • Ten
Gent Cotton Cos to the cotton buyers
cud producers. Read it carefully,
ponder it well, and if you doubt, just
bear in mind that the journal vouches
for the honesty of this company, and
is desirous of seeing every newspaper
in the United States take this matter
up and push it for all it is worth.
Cotton is worth ten cents per
pound and if thi* company is prop
erly supported you will, we believe
see cotton selling for ten cents per
pound within 60 days.
The plan of this company is sure
to work good results, if it receives
sufficient sunport.
13ut remember there is not much
time to do much more than awaken
the monopolies this year, hut it will
work satisfactorily before Jan. Ist,
1898.

How few who w ear the pretty combe
and pins think of the history of the
history of the beautiful things.
Here are the factf about it:
Ihe tortoise-shell is made from the
small scales which form the shell of the
small hawk’s-bill turtle that is found
on the coral islands of the southern seas.
Huntors capture the tortoises at night
and turn them on their packs, and the
next day the cruel process of removing
the scales is begun. The turtle is not
killed, but a fire is built on its back,
afjcr the creature has been securely
tied or fastened by pegs in its natural
position, feet down. The heat soon
softens the shell, when a large, flat
steel blade is unseated between the
layers and the scales are gently pried
off.
The turtle suffers intenslj and fre
quently does not survive tae operation.
Many of them do, however, and live to
grow' another shell, which, curiously
enough, comes back in one solid piece.

NOTICE!
TO COTTON BUYERS AND
PRODUCERS.
Cotton must go to Ten cents per
Pound. This will be seen within <SO
or 90 days: If all persons who are in
terested in s eing cotton sell on the
southern market for lOcts per pound,
enough to make a donation of any
amount from tl, to any amt that you
feel willing to give to the
Tn Cent C'ottou Company
in order to enable you to sell your en
tire crop ol cotton for lOcts a pound,
will send to the undersigned, imme
diately by either Post Office Money
Order or Registered Letter whatever
you cull, the same to he used in the
buying and handlding of the entile
crop of our cotton, until the right and
highest price is offered to our cott-Mi
raisers, for their cotton product.
Our southern Cotton raisers must
protect themselves against the vei v
unjust, outrageous, powerful and yet
most greedy immense combinations
of wealth that we have to contend
with; and one which if left alone will in
the very near future absolutely re~
fuse to pay to our farmers more than
i Skits or 4cts pei pound for cotton.
It. does not require the mind of a
philoi- pl.cr or a Jay Gould to arrive
at the conclusion that such price for
our cotton means ruin to our farme-s.
bankruptcy firo lr merchants, smn 1
incomes for our preachers, small in
comes for all classes of our many hard
workin people such as Lawyers, Doc
tors, Stale. County and City officials,
Railroad officers and man; also school
teachers, Editors,and printers- In fact
every class of professional or oilier
occupations in the South will forever
be ruined if this gigantic thieving is
allowed to continue just a few more
short \ ears.
Hut, we now propose to put a stop
to such high handed robbery. And
since it has long since been vervclearly
shown that we are in the minority in
law making officers, and on that ac-
count we cannot down our greatest
earthly enemy, (the Trusts and Com
binations of wealth) by legislation; It
therefore, falls back upon us ( the far
mers and other people of the glorious
and only South land) to lookout for
ourselves.
The Ten- Cent Cotton Cos., Is f< *
(be purpose of giving to those who. by
hard and constant work, produce the
fleecy staple, and who by rights are
entitled to the proffits arising from
the manufacture of these goods.
With the tunny millions of farmers
and business men wiio ought to feel
deeply enough interested in this mo
vement to donate something toward
this grand object: And with many
millions of bales .of cotton to fall, hack
upon, there can he nothing more nor
less than success for all .who , contrib
ute something toward this, fund.
Now let every one who has the in
terasU or the success of our southern
states at heart send by return mail a
remittance of some size.
Every one that donates as much as
One ($100) dollar toward this fund is
sure to receive it back when he sells
nis next bale of cotton, because the ad
vance in the price will more than puv
uim ba;k that dollar.
As there is no rascality connected
with this scheeme, all newspapers es
pecially those of the- Cotton belt will
do their section the greatest good that
is within their power; by running this
notice for at least sixty days. They
heliwit themselves by helping to raise
the price of cotton to a point at which
•lie farmer will'be able to pay his debts
and still have enough to subscribe for
the Newspaper of his choice. So, let
all newspapers put ttieir levers under
this, and thereby completely over turn
Wall Street cotton’combinations.
The people who produce tho cotton
should derive the greatest benefit of
that crop; This company proposes to
give this vast sum of money to those
who help to raise the price to lOots.
This is the only way hy which we can
overcome the bold that the Bankers of
tiie East and North now have upon us.
We should not delay too long-
Evervbody should do all that they aro
able to do toward helping this great
purely honest Southern enterprise.
Those who send contributions first,
will be the ones who will receive the
benefits cf advance prices first.
There is absolutely nothing wrong,
crooked, illegal or rascally about this
gigantic S' heenie; It being started
for the sole purpose of helping those
Cotton raisers who horetbfore have
not had as large a number of friend 8
as they arc entitled to.
Friends! D mol delay this grandest
movement that has ever been Uarted
for the amelioration of our Southern
hard working cotten raisers. Let your
donations come thick and fast so that
outgood work may be felt before
January Ist 1898.

Miles From Homer.
There wan a shooting scrape near
New Salem church last Sunday night
between John l’riekett and George
Sanders, which resulted in tne latter s
being wounded very badly, having
received three pistol shot wounds,
lie is very low and his chance for
recovery is slim. John Prieketl was
lodged in jail b re by Sheriff Parks
Tuesday morning. He denies know
ing anything about who shot Sanders,
also denies that he did the shooting.
LATER —At the prelimmery trial
before Justice W. H. Turk Wednes
day morning the defense was not
ready for the trial anil the same was
postponed until to-morrow morning
at 10 o’clock. The prisoner John
Prickett when seen by a Journal re
porter stated that he was there at
the time the shooting was going on,
but he says he does not know who it
was shooting, he also said he could
sec the fire from the pis’ols. lie
uames three other negroes who w ore
with him at the time of the shooting.
The trial tomorrow morning will be
interesting and may develop some
startling facts.
The won Kd man was reported
dead Tuesday evening but his physi
cian, Dr. \V. P. Haiden, states that
he is some better at this writing, and
that he is not yet out of danger.

A Great Hotel.
Various New York millionaires are
piling up toward the skies a number of
hotels that will accommodate the trav
eler at the rate of $7 a day upward—
upward usu lly-—but one of them, D.
O. Mills, has built a grand hotel to bo
run ou a different .lau.
Xke came of Mr. Mills’ hotel is Mills
House No. 1. There are to be two others
like it, numbered 8 and 8 respectively.
Each will be in one of the pi crest, moat
crowded- districts of New York. Mills
House No. 1 is on Blcecker street, on
the east side. It rears its lofty, beauti
ful head in the neighborhood of woebe
gone, stenchy tenements and lodging
houses into which the poor of New York
must huddle. A clean, kind hearted
farmer’s pig has more healthful quar-
ters than hundreds of thousands of the
hapless human beings whose ignorance
jams them into the wretched rooms for
which they pay extortionate prices i'J
cities.
Mills House No. 1 is constructed ou
the plan of giving at very cheap rates
twconiuiodations equal to those which
cost in the upper part of the city $7 a
day. The building is more beautiful ar
chitecturally than almost any of tho
hotels for the . ich. It is built oi Indiana
limestone am’ white brick and is ten
stories high. Then is a magnificent
! staircase of Italian marble. A body of
brick, stone, glass and marble, immacu-
I late, clean and shining, is built upon a
! skeleton of steel. Brilliant electric lights
illuminate tho scene at night. A double
courtyard is in tho couter, full of light,
air and beautiful sunshine. It is adorned
with palms ajid other plants. A library
and writing room are free. 80 are the
50 rain hatha with hot and void water
on tap and the 20 footbaths, likewise,
the lau dry with a dozen washtnbs,
where the economical or imprs unions
clean man may renovate his own linen
and be as pure tu his belongings as the
millionaire. Excellent meals will be
furnished at 10 cents up.
The building accommodates 1,364
persons. It Us heated by steam through
out. The bods have the best quality of
mattresses and coverings, Eliza
beth herself was not housed so Inxuri
oosiy us the mun will bo who can pay
SO cento per night in Mills House.
The best feuturo of all connected with
this palatial hotel for poor men is that
it is in no souse a charity. On the prin
ciple that full rooms at u moderate price
pay bettor than empty rooms at an ex
orbitant price, Mr. D. O. Mills expects
to derive a satisfactory income from his
hotel. Undoubtedly he will do so.
The effect of such surroundings on
the moral and aesthetic nature of the
lodgers that will gather in this house is
incalculable. They will be lifted up
and refined soul and body.

For Advertisers,
Local country newspapers reach
the consumer more directly than any
other advertiseirig medium, and to
create a demand for g< ids the atten

makes trade for the dealer, and orders
from dealers are what give l.fe and
business to the producer. These are
true words and are to th point and is
but a gentle yet forcible reminder
that every business man should ndver

The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine
and as snob it it not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
Tiic first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is
from careless local treatment of other
diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause ot bladder
tsoubies. So the womb, like the bladder
wir created for one purpose, and if
not doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or diascase, except in rare
eases' It is situated bck-of and very
