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. W. I{. SMITH'S COLLEGE, LEXINGTON, KY.

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. —Atlanta Journal. If you need a Buggy call at The Jour nal Office.

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.

SANDERS, THREE TAKE EFFECT. Shooting Took IHuce Near New Salem Clmrcli, About" H 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. XXXXXXXXX v\\ xxxxxxxx X AGENTS WANTED X X Ft r The Official Guide to X Y The KI.ONDYKK C'mintiy.

X 1 * v!v C V—\xxxx 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. Chattanooga Normal University. Will Sustwin the Following Depart ments. General Courses.

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.
