The importance of the American oottoa manufacturing industry Is Sowing from year to year, but it will he many long years before the cotton Bruners can depend upon the do- totstic demand to handle their crop. ’’Vsraty-five years ago when the Am erican cotton crop was 3,000,000 bales, aixty-five per cent, of the product was exported. Now that the crop hat: almost tripled and is 13,000,000 baft's, the percentage exported is atfli about sixty per cent The domestic coton mills have in creased wonderfully, but so has the ftroiuction of cotton. It has been «8tl mated that the present cotton aop will bring 1900,000,000 to the Blasters of the Southern States, and the great part of this will come from the other side of the Atlantic. These facts, as is pointed out by ’ Wt&X.rick J. Haskins, at the American cotton convention, show how Impor tant .the export cotton business is to At country, and how helpful It will ho- to inaugurate an organization which will bring the two parties to thv rude in closer relations. The Awe’lean manufacturers are glad to commingle with their European riv als. for any movement which will chLthr business in one country by •e introduction of better methods of handling and shipping will not fall As he o' benefit in another quarter. The day ever dear to the heart ■ feminine dawned auspiciously, and at i an early hour yesterday petticoated | Americus was ready and waiting for ; the lifting of the "lid” If such term might be applied to the bonnet. Hun- j dreds of ladles thronged the miUln- i erv emporiums, inspecting fall hats and buying as well, and the milliners had an excellent trade. The bonnets exhibited seem a trifle larger than | previous crops, with prices about in proportion, ranging as high at $19.99, j a marked down figure. The accepted style this season is the battleship \ double-turreted tvpe. rounded fore \ and. aft, with corrugated funnels and j main deck flower strewn. Others of COTTON SPINNERS BEGIN WORK.

ADIEU SAID TC THE OLD STRAW TILE Americus Has Doffed the Fav orite Lid. t Home strangers when they visit a church think -a reception committee dnubl await them at the door, curt them to a specially cushioned and serve them with refresh- Wntii That would seem to the the Ml basis for half of the complaints Mat are made about cold treatment at strangers. Query: Do people go to church to worship God or to meet otter people? Within a radius of sixty miles of ■aeon, says the Telegraph, there are about sixty thousand farmers who (torn the farms on which they live. Shew It asks, what section of similar alsc in the Southern States can make to tetter showing? Don't know, but II (here is any section it must he the OBS around Americus. The governor thinks the time for tte election of legislators, or the time (tor their Initial session, should be changed. If he would only advocate their meeting In either biennial or haknnial session, instead of every Mar, it would be a blessing to the people of Georgia. Comments the Brunswick Journal: "Tragedy is so close at the llnish of a» many whoso life work has been alhipfy and solely the accumulation of wealth, that we may well pause and toft: is it worth the price?” Taft would not let his little boy May baseball on Sunday in Japan. He does not favor doing in Japan as the*. Japs do. And then he has prob- abfy not forgotten the moral of the Fairbanks cocktail incident. .The poor people of Atlanta, no mat ter what home paper they take, are •nidemned to have port rates and w-lwjr thrilling things threshed out in Aualite column half page editorials wtery thirty days.
