As an excuse for being intoxicated at
Halifax a soldier just returned from
South Africa pleaded that he had uot
had a drink for two years and a half.
He was discharged.
The consumption of spirituous
drinks in Germany is eald to hare
largely diminished lately on account of
hard times. Elsewhere they are usu
ally the last luxury thst economy dis
penses with.
NEED OF FARM LABOR IN THE
SOOTH.
1 IThe reason why some boya do cot
make men is because they would rather
be a king among rakes than to be a
prince among kings ;in other words, they
would rather be the greatest among
fools than one of the least among the
Wise.
There is a revival of interest in old'
fashioned cameo jewelry this year.
One of the largo manufacturing jewelry
houses in New York aays that it Jias
done more work altering and restoring
old cameo jewelry than it has for
twenty years.
Don’t fnme.- Don’t complain. Don’t
get excited about anything. Farticn
larly politics. Don’t engage in argu
meats. Don’t look for rain. Don’t
mention the weather. Don't get drnnk.
Don't think. Just don’t. And yon
will keep cool, maybe.
BThe first bale of cotton, of the crop
of 1902, was raised by W. P. Adams, of
Medina coonty, Texas, ginned at De-
vine Jnne 28tb, and reoelved at San
Antonio, on Jnne 80th. This is an
early first bale but not tbe' earliest
Texas has prod need.—Texas Farm and

Every man owes it to himself, bis

interests snffiaiently to consent to offer

MR- BRYAN.
Tbe wsy things look now—tbs way
democratic conventions in different
•tstes are declaring, and the way they
are ignoring Mr. Bryan and his views
it would seem that this great leader
will have bnt a minimum of power, in
tae great convention which will nomi
nate a democratic candidate for Presi
dent in 1901. The forces of Mr. Bryan
are,or seem to be, deserting him on all
sides. The moat rabid 10 to 1 men ore
declaring that question to be s dead
one, and tbns one of Mr. Bryan’s
strongest props is being knocked from
under him. Right or wrong, this seems
to be tbe situation and it is everywhere
visible. This is the situation now. A
determination to reorganize the demo
oratic part; under a new leader is
everywhere apparent. Who this new
leader will be no one can now say. But
what will Hr. Bryan do? That is the
question. Wilt be quietly anbmit to
being cast aside? It mnst be conceed-
ed that be still baa followers, and al
though they are likely to be in n
minority in 1961, will be and they
agree to abide tbe action of the con
vention in '1904? We fear it is denbt-
fnl, and if they do not the chaneosfor
democratic success in that year are
greatly lessened. Let ns hope that Mr.
Bryan will acquiesce and, that he will
„ urge bis follower*, or those who agree
i to do likewise.
Tbe Baltimore San recently called at
tention to tbe fact that tbe scaroity of
farm labor is becoming s crying evil
in many parte of the South for the
reason that tbe negro is no longer at
hand, and if at band is as s rnle nei
ther reliable not efficient. It cannot
be said that this is a new discovery,
becanso it has been frequently observ
ed in the last ten jiears that tbe pub
lic schools are giving tbe negroes a dis
taste for manual labor, especially on
farms and plantations. Therefore the
millious of dollars spent annually by
the white people of the Southern States
on negro schools has had no other
effect than to demoralize tbe young
negroes and cause them to quit
work. Many of them go North, but
tbe great majority leave tbe coun
try and flock to the cities cf the
South, where they prey upon the in
dustrious people of their race or steal
for a living. In the latter pursuit
they are particularly industrious, as
tbe police records show.
The truth is the nAgro is oeaeing to
be reliable as an employe for making
a crop and it is merely a question of
time when our farmers and planters
will realize that the only remedy is
immigration from Europe, and that
steps will have to be taken to import
farm labor from tbe agricultural die
triets of tbe Old World. It was this
kind of immigration that built up and
made prosperous the great States of
tbe Northwest, and it is tbe kind tbe
Sonth needs and should secure to eup
p'y tbe growing demand for farm labor.
The main reason why so little foreign
immigration has come into the South is
tbe diaraclin^ion off the Industrial
classes ot Enrope to be thrown’ into
competition with negro labor, bat this
objection will not operate to tnrn
immigration from the Southern States
when it ia-known that the negroes are
abandoning the country districts .and
are no longer relied upon for farm
work. There is not a more thrifty
or desirable class of immigrant that
tbe hardy German, Scandinavian and
Austrian farmers, and if the; are
brooght into the Sooth would soon de
velop into excellent citizens and 'assist
materially in increasing the wealth cf
the country.

BEAUTY TRIUMPHS,
'Tla a Prlcelata Treaaura.
J is woman’s greatest charm. The
world adores beautiful women. A pretty
woman dreads maternity for fear of losing
this power. What can be done to perpetu
ate the race and keep women beautifuli
There fs a balm used by cultured ami un
cultured womerf in tbe crisis. Husbands
should investigate this remedy in ordei
to reassure their wives as to the ease
with which children can be from end
beauty of form and ngure retained.
Mother’s Friend
is tbe came by which this preparation is
known. It diminishes the pam allied to
motherhood. Used throughout pregnancy
it relieves morning sickness, cures sore
breasts, makes elastic all tendons called
upon to hold tbe expanding burden.
Muscles soften and relax under its influ
ence and the patient anticipates favorably
the issue, in the comfort thus bestowed.
Mother’s Friend is a liniment for ex-
and is even better tbau tbe sea island
cotton. The Egyptian cotton has much
longer fiber than other cottons and its
seed can be removed so easily that it
is uot necessary to cat np tbe cottap in
giumug it. A series of saws which
work between rods is usod in ginning
ordinary cotton and considerable pow
er is required to tear it loose from Its
seeds. Tbe Egyptian cotton can be
separated from its seed by a series
of rollers which do not cat the cotton
and destroy tne lengbt of the fibre.
The department of agriculture has dis
tributed tbe new cotton tbroughtont
the south and it will soon be known
whether the Egyptian product will
flourish in all the districts devoted to
tbe raising of cotton.”
While Egyptiiyi cotton may event
ually be grown on a larger scale m
tbe south it is quite probable that it
wiii be a number of years before it
supplants, if it ever does, tbe cotton
that is at present su successfully
grown in the south.— Colnmbus En
