Export Situation Improves.
Two cheering trade reports are
that September shows a large in
crease in exports and that, according
to southern correspondents, the dif
ficulties of the cotton situation have
been somewhat magnified.
“The New York custom house re
ported test week's exports from New
York at 820,032,000,” a dispatch says.
“That was an absolute high record
for that period. * • ♦ Last week
the exports of wheat from the whole
United States again went beyond any
prevloous weekly figures. * * For
September as a whole wheat exports
ran 60 per cent above last year.”
When cotton begins to move, as it
soon must, this favorable situation
should becone more favorable. Quite
possibly our exports will prevent the
necessity of sending more gold to Eu
rope, thus depleting the country’s
gold reserves and placing further bur.
«lens on banks and government.
The volume of exports bears testi
mony to the fact tha f the sea is com
paratively safe for commerce. There
are still several German cruisers at
sea, and now and then they capture
and destroy a merchant vessel. But
the danger is not as great as to in
terfere seriously with trade. And it
is probable that the danger will quite
rapidiy become leas and less.
The reports of exaggeration of the
cotton situatioi. are also encouraging.
The improvement from conditions at
first reported is probably due to the
general recognition down south that
much fewer prices are inevitable and
a determination of th< people to make
the best of them.
This docs not mean that cotton will
be left to follow its downward ten
dency to the statistical limit All
the influences of the south will no
doubt b* exerted to prevent the bum
per cro_. from being thrown on the
market at once. These influences
should have a steadying effect on the
prices.
Nothing is ever quite as bad as it
seems. There is in most Americans,
north and south, a saving conviction
that things will work out somehow
for the best. And this conviction will
no doubt be found to have been justi
fied when the cotton situation of 1914
has become history.
Thore are good grounds Tor a spirit
of optimism. The nation is going
through a period of readjustment in
evitable on the outbreak of a world
wide war with its dislocation of
markets and credits. The more cheer
fully we face the situation the sooner
the readjustment will be complete.—

Frank T. Reynolds for many years
one of Georgia's brightest newspaper
men. but now assistant manager of
the Hotel Winecoff, of Atlanta, in
this week's issue of the Dalton Citi
zen, has the following interesting
story concerning a visit which he
made to this city last Sunday:
“I spent Sunday In the delightful
city of Griffin, the guest of Colonel
and Mrs. W. W. Dudley, who live in
the north edge of the city in one of
the largest and most beautiful old
colonial hemes of the south'. Colonel
Dudley is the editor and publisher of
the Griffin Dally and Weekly News
and Sun, and is makings things hum
down there in Spalding courity.
“One of tho most interesting places
we visited was the Griffin City hos
pital. We were shown through by
Miss Thompson, one of the nurses in
charge, and I almost felt like I would
be willing to get real sick. The insti
tution is one of which Griffin is just
ly proud. It is quite a pretentious
affair, with a separate home for the
officers and special house set apart
and designated for negroes. Dalton
could follow the example of Griffin in
this respect with great profit and
honor to itself. «
"We were invited to a neighbor’s
of Colonel Dudley, and here I found
another delightful surprise, In that I
met cld Dalton friends. They were
Mr. nnd Mu Henslee. Mr. Henslee
is from Ringgold, and Mrs. Henslee
was Mias Nell Bender, of Dalton. I
well remember the sumptuous wed.
ding in which they were principals
nearly seventeen years ago up on
Hamilton street, at the ever hospita
ble home of no less a personage than
'your Uncle’ Lewis Bender. They
have an interesting family of pretty
girls and bright, handsome boys.
“I went around to visit the pigeon
lofts of A.J. Pomar, who is raising
all-white meat squads for market
with much profit The Winecoff will
buy all of its supply from him. He
raises them by directions furnished
free by the agricultural department
at Washington, and any one desiring
to do so ir Dalton has only to write
for pigeon catalog No. 177. Mr.
Pomar gets $3.60 per dozen for the
squabs. Mr. Pomar was at one time
a linotype operator for the Showalter
Company at Dalton. He has been of
fered »100 fcr eight pairs of his par
ent sto< k bv. refused the offer.
‘W B. Royster, formerly secretary of
the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
merce, is secretary down at Griffin,
putting new life in Griffin and spread
ing her fame ail ovei the map. Grif
and with the aid of Colonel Dudley is
fin has broad, beautiful streets and
concrete sidewalks. The streets have
the attractive little green parks in
the middle of them the same as Dal
ton. The old Nelms house burned the
day before I got there, which leaves
tnwever is enough, as Griffin has only
about fifteen thousand population, but
the big New Griffin with the field. It
it is growing and the people are wide
awake, progressive and are backing
the chamber of commerce, and its pub
lie affairs are on a parity with much
larger and more pretentious places.
A fine system of white way lights is
being installed I know of but few
places in Georgia that will compare
with the capital of Spalding. A hand
some new passenger station is being
built and will be used by both the
Central of Georgia and the Southern.
A branch line of the Central goes di
rect from Griffin to Chattanooga. One
of the handsomest Elk lodges in the
state is at Griffin. The lawns of the
city have few superiors, and it is an
object lesson for other towns which
have pride along civic lines.
“I found the business men of Griffin
cheerful about the business outlook,
and while they are storing cotton they
expect a fine trade a little later on.”

RECORO FOOTBALL RUSH.
It Cams When a Now and Ugly Tackle
•robe Into tho Game.
One day. while the wbalesbip Nar
whal was tied to an ice floe in Bering
ssa and the lookouts were at the mast
head scanning the open water south
ward for the appearance of whales, a
party of the foreeastlemen made a
football of rags and cord and went
over the bow to kick the misshapen
thing round on a smooth stretch of ice
a short distance from the vessel.
The fun was at Its height the
men were just getting the kina, out of
their legs when the barpoouer in the
crow's nest called softly down to the
deck that a polar bear bad scented the
men on the ice and was excitedly
making his way toward them. No
warning was given to the football
players. Before long the beer appeared
dose to the edge of tbs floe, and ho
seemed to be in a great hurry. He
shambled rapidiy along in and out
among the hummocks, and every few
feet he would pull himself erect to
sniff the air and crane bls bead anxi
ously. Closer and closer be came, and
It was plain that he grew more and
mors excited. The men on board tho
ship got out their rifles to make sure
that the bear did no barm to the men
on the ice.
The gaunt ice bear came to the last
hummock that separated him from the
field of play. One of the men was In
the act of “kicking the stuffing” out of
the ball when tbs bear suddeny
emerged into clear view. The ball
fell on the tee. the man’s leg came
hurriedly down on the ice, and the
man himself broke for the ship like a
deer. There was a succession of
frightened shouts, and the ice became
alive with running men. Never was
there a quicker change of scene. Men
stumbled and fell and yelled and
fought for a grasp of the rope ladder.
The men on deck were so convulsed
with laughter that they made no effort
to shoot the beer. And after the first
whoop the bear became so thoroughly
alarmed at the consternation be had
caused that he turned tail and fled In a
clumsy gallop down the tee floes.—

Merchants and Newspapers Great factors
In Building Up a Town
PATRONIZE YOUR HOME NEWSPAPER!
Although there are tnany reasons why EVERY ONE
SHOULD DO ALL IN HIS POWER TO HELP THE
HOME PAPER, it is self evident that the men who can and
should do the most are the merchants. Their success means the
success of the newspaper, and none will deny that the SUCCESS
OF THE NEWSPAPER IS MAINLY DEPENDENT ON
_THE MERCHANTS. The newspaper is vitally interested in the
success of those who have things to offer to .the community.
Women and many men nowadays read the advertising columns
almost as closely as they do the news columns.
IF A MERCHANT MAS ANYTHING SPECIAL. TO OFFER HE
KNOWS THAT THE VERY BEST WAY TO LET THE PEOPLE
KNOW THAT HE HAS IT IS THROUGH THE COLUMNS OF THE
LOCAL NEWSPAPER. MERCHANTS SHOULD TAKE A DEEP IN
TEREST IN THEIR HOME NEWSPAPER. IT IS AN INSTITUTION
OF THE TOWN. IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. IT SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED. IT IS THE GREATEST TOWN BOOMER THERE
IS. THE NEWSPAPER IS NECESSARY TO THE MERCHANT AND
THE MERCHANT TO THE NEWSPAPER. IF THE HOME NEWS
PAPER OCCASIONALLY KNOCKS IT IS TO REMEDY SOMETHING
THAT IS WRONG, OR AT LEAST SOMETHING THAT IT HONEST
LY THINKS IS WRONG. THE HOME NEWSPAPER'S HANDS
SHOULD BE HELD UP. IT NEEDS THE SINCERE MORAL SUP
PORT OF EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT NONE MORE
THAN THE MERCHANTS.
Merchants of a town, those who supply its daily needs, invaria
bly are PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZENS. They are the men
who make up the boards of trade. They are always in the fore
front of any agitation looking to the BETTERMENT OF THE
MUNICIPALITY. Their cause always is identical with that of
the home newspaper. There should be a spirit of co-operation be-
Dthe merchants and the home newspaper.
ERCHANTS, BOOST FOR THE HOME NEWSPAPER!
SPEECH AND THE CHIN.

vital importance to the race and that

My theory, then. Is that the ebln Is
essentially a part of tbs mechanism of
articulate speech.
It is tempting to theorise a little fur
ther and to suggest that the human
chin perhaps bears testimony to a pro
historic change from carnal weapons
to others which, if not exactly spirit
ual. were such as appealed to the
part of us where spiritual forces work,
for apparently long ago before tbe pen
