A Trade for Any Hour.
The thriftiest man in the United
States lives in Louisville. He has
trades that fit any climate, season or
time of day. As an example of his
wonderful versatility, a friend tells
the following story of an average day
in the life of t’iie strenuous man:
One morning last week he started
out with a rug to sell on commission
for an instalment house. He sold the
rug, arid then came back and took out
a clock, which lie also disposed of -
About noon he was called by an un¬
dertaker to embalm a body, which he
did Another undertaker sent for
him to drive a hearse to the ceme¬
tery, and after he had disposed of
this errand satisfactorily Ke preached
a short sermon at the grave. He
drove the hoarse back to town and
filled in an afternoon for a candy
maker, who was taken suddenly ill.
In the evening he worked from 6 till
8 o’clock in a barber shop, and then
from that hour until midnight set type j

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctor*# Talk on Food.
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they nre
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an eminent
practitioner, one of the good old school,
who lives In Texas. His plain, un¬
varnished tale needs no dressing up:
“I had always had an intense preju¬
dice, which I can now see was unwar¬
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised, foods. Hence, I
never read a line of the many ‘ads.’
of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food
till last winter.
“While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health¬
iest little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup¬
per with my little grandsons. I be¬
came exceedingly fond of it and Liavo
eaten a package of it every week since,
and find it a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no ill ef¬
fects whatever, causing no eructations
(with which I was formerly much
troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea,
nor distress of stomach in any way.
“There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since I began the use of Grape-Nuts
than I have been for ten years, and am
no longer troubled with nausea and in¬
digestion.” Name given by l’ostum

'FRISCO TO BUY LINE.
Batch of Rumors Points to Change in
Ownership of Tennessee Central.
Through the purchase of the Ten¬
nessee Central railroad the St. Louis
and San Francisco (the Frisco) rail¬
road system is to secure an entrance
into Nashville.
Such is the story resulting from
the presence in Nashville, ’Friday, ot
A. J. Davidson, president of the
’Frisco; B. F. Yoakum, chairman of
the ’Frisco executive board, and J. C.
Van Blarcom, president of the Ten¬
nessee Central. No details are an
nounced, but members of the visiting
party admitted that in future, prob
| ably by May 1, the Tennessee Cen
tral will be a ’Frisco road. This
means another direct line from Nash
! ville to St. Louis and Chicago, as
well as to the grain fields of the west
and northwest.
It was also learned that lines will be
built from Harriman to Knoxville and
from Hopkinsville, Ky., to a con¬
necting point with the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, either at Evansville
or Joppa, 111. The party, including
General Manager Clark of the Ten
nessee Central, went on to St. Louis.
Before leaving Mr. Van Blarcom said:
“Yes, our visit is significant, but
we cannot give out all the facts just
at present. Wte are not here for pleas¬
ure only, however, and you may get
some official news that will interest
Nashville very soon.’’
FARMERS ARE GIVEN WARNING.
Bunkers Will Refuse to Advance Cash Un¬
less Crop is Reduced.
Attention is called to those farmers
who have secured the support of their
bankers on the agreement to reduce
their acreage 25 per cent this year
that unless they live up to that agree¬
ment, it is likely that the banks ad¬
vancing them money will not do so
again, as they have failed to keep
their agreement by planting more cot¬
ton than they did last year. The
question is a very serious one 'and
President Hiarvie Jordan of the South¬
ern Cotton Association, who has giv¬
en the matter much study, says of
the support of the business world:
“In this effort to bring about a re¬
duction in the cotton acreage and
the holding of the enormous surpius
to be carried over, the farmers of the
B Qutygfoa ve the support su,p and enco
inkers thro
is not curtailed 1 ,*•’ con
age
once will be lost and it will be im¬
possible to secure the continued sup¬
port of the bankers in any holding
movement or any large undertaking
in the interest of the farmers for
many years to come. The whole fu¬
ture of the south and the prosperity
of our people depends upon meeting
the present emergency by united
concert of action. It is not yet too
late to stem the tide that is indicated
by the enormous sale of fertilizer !
tags up to the present check time. the contin¬ It is j
not yet too late to
ued purchase of commercial fertil¬
izers to be used under cotton or to
restrict the acreage that each man
has decided to plant. It would be bet¬
ter to let a part of the land lie out j
in an uncultivated condition for one
year than to plant it in cotton and
thereby cause a heavy loss upon the
entire plantation.
“In order to fulfill our promises
which we have made to the business
world and to protect our own inter¬
ests from wmeck and ruin, we must be
able to say, through carefully prepar
ed statistics on the first day of June
that our cotton acreage has been re
duced at least 25 per cent and the
use of commercial fertilizers reduced
accordingly.
“I sound this note of warning and
trust that this article will be read 1
by every farmer, merchant and bank¬
er throughout the cotton belt. Those
three lines of business are inter-de
pendent upon each other and must
rise or fall together. I am still
hopeful that the entire cotton belt
will bring about a heavy curtailment
in the acreage to be planted in cot¬
ton, and trust that my present abso¬
lute confidence in the farmers of the
south will he thoroughly sustained
when the report on acreage is issued
on June 1st.”

ABANDON EXTRADITION FIGHT.
Morgan Smith and Wife Voluntarily Go to
New York for Trial.
j. Morgan Smith and his wife, who
have been indicted together with Nan
Patterson, on a charge of conspiring
to obtain money from Caesar Y’oung,
the bookmaker in connection with
whose death the Patterson girl is also
under indictment, arrived in New
York Tuesday night.
Smith and his wife were arrested
in Cincinnati. Monday they abandon¬
ed their fight against extradition and
started for New York in the custody
of officers.
PROPOSITION IP TO THE FARMERS.
Rtductioi of Cotton Acreage and Use of
Fertilizers an Absolute \ecessity.
The agricultural department of Ala¬
bama and other states show in recent
reports that the sale of fertilizer
tags in Alabama during the season of
1904-1905 shows an increase of 1,000
tons over the season of 1903-1904.
The commissioner of agriculture of
Georgia has issued a similar report,
in which he shows that the sales of
fertilizer tags in Georgia this season
exceed those of last year by more
than 500 tons.
“These reports,” says M. L. John¬
son, president of the Georgia division
of the Southern Cotton Association,
“put the cotton situation right up to
the farmer, in order for the purposes
of the association to be carried out,
it is absolutely necessary for the farm¬
er to reduce his cotton acreage and
the amount of fertilizer used.
“I say the situation is up to the
farmer, because it is the farmer who
will suffer if the crop is not reduced.
Without a reduction, the price of cot¬
ton will he lower than the cost of
production, and the farmer will find
himself in debt. With a low price this
year, the interests of the entire south
will suffer.
“The farmers of Georgia must re¬
duce their acreage. Let it not be
said of Georgia that she did not join
heart and soul in the movement which
means the salvation of the southern
cotton grower.”
“QUALITY NOT QUANTITY’
Is What is Wanted of the Women Anent
the “Stork” Line.
The observations of President Roose¬
velt on the question of race suicide
received the attention of some of the
prominent delegates to the National
Council of Women in session at Wash¬
ington. Some of them take issue
with the president on this subject,
and say he should look to the women
of his own social set for race sui¬
cide.
“It is the pace set by our society
women particularly in official life,”
one of the delegates declared, “which
makes race suicide a subject for pro¬
found thought. The women of the sub¬
merged half, as we call it, do not
practice race suicide. It is the busi¬
ness burdened, the determined to get
rich faster and the society crazy moth¬
er who refuse the cares of parent¬
hood.”
resolution was ret arted or the
"ith”'l!He °t-baldent’s vS
question of race suicide, and" tiers
that “quality, not quantity,” of chil¬
dren is preferable.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, the pres¬
ident of the National Woman’s Suf¬
frage Association, spoke her mind on
the question of parenthood, saying, in
part:
“It is said that woman should rear
more children, but I say that you
must first make your country fit to
rear -children in. We need to make
this world safe for children. To do
so we must give them social heredity,
so that they will be horn in safe con¬
ditions and 'protected until grown.
This cannot be done until women have
rights in the state to protect them.”
UNION PROPOSITION PREVAILS.
Cumberland and Northern Presbyterians
to Form Junction oi Churches.
Cumberland Presbyterian headquar¬
ters at Nashville announced Wednes¬
day that the proposition for union
with the Northern Presbyterian
church has received the requisite 58
votes, with others of the 114 Pres¬
byteries of the Cumberland Presbyte¬
rian church yet to hear from. The
deciding vote was cast by the Penn¬
sylvania Presbyterian presbytery. It
is said that the Northern Presbyterian
church is voting for union in the
ratio of 10 to 1. It has already
settled the question of separate pres
byteries for negroes,
The general assemblies of both
churches will meet on May 17, the
Cumberland Presbyterians in Fresno,
C-alif., and the Presbyterians in W r in
ona Lawe, Ind. The votes will be
declared in both.
Friends of union, however, do not
expect that union will he actually per¬
j fected in less than two years, consid¬
erable time being required to perfect
the details.
