The Age of Lead.
We are wont to speak of this era
as the “age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speak¬
ing, iron is a “precious metal.”
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces¬
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable. It is cot much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quali¬
ties are what give it such a prominent
place In the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos¬
sible without lead pipe. The great¬
est civilizing agent in the world—the
printing art—is absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
“slugs,” monotype type — all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component—to say noth¬
ing of the bearings In the presses as
well as all other kind3 of machinery
in which “babbitt” metal is used.
Solder is another lead product—
w-hat a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put—paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty — inside
and out—and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metalic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me¬
talic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as “white lead.” Of
course, there are many frnltations of
“white lead,” some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre¬
pared paint under the familiar pre¬
tense that they are “just as good” as
white lend. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat¬
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
“Red lead” Is another product of
metalic lead and Is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc., which are es¬
sential *. i many of the arts in which
we never Imagine that lead w r ould be
of the least use.
Verily, we live in an age of lead
as well as of iron.
Bad Air Versus the Gospel.
How many preachers, the past win
.er, have been struggling Sunday af
:er Sunday to drive the gospel mes¬
sage home to minds dulled and dead¬
ened with carbonic acid gas? Al¬
most as well expect a man bo labor
with the victim of nitrous oxide in
:be dentist’s chair. If the clergy but
knew It, they could greatly facilitate
their own work by exerting their in
fiuence to the utmost in behalf of ade¬
quate ventilation of their places of
worship. It is impossible t» reckon
the loss of effectiveness, the starving
af minds and souls, attributable to
bad air alone.
We recall a little country church,
encountered on a vacation Sunday in
summer, whose windows could scarce¬
ly be opened for the nests which the
birds had been building for a genera¬
tion on the sills, and about\tbe blinds.
Not a sindow had been opened in that
auditorium apparently, in years. Our
readers oould tell of city and subur¬
ban churches in which the candle, as
described by Prof. Woodbrldge in our
February number, would burn dim
an every winter Sunday, choked with
the bad air which human candles tol¬
erate from force of habit.
A reform in ventilation is coming
rapidly. It will reach the churches
forthwith, and the kingdom of God,
and the health of the church-going
classes, will be gainers thereby.—Goo/
Housekeeping.

NAME 10 CENTS
LOWEST LIMIT
Cotton Association Committee Fixes
Minimum Price for Staple.
UNION ASKS CENT MORE
Two Associations Differ as to Bread
and Heat Line. Owing to Dete¬
riorating Condition of Weed.
The executive committee of the
Southern Cotton Association, at Fri¬
day’s session at Hot Springs, recom
mended to its members and the cot¬
ton growers of the south that no cot¬
ton be sold during the present sea¬
son at less than 10 cents per pound.
Inji resolution adopted by the com¬
mittee, it is stated that the crop is
in a_state of deterioration and for
that reason no estimate of the crop
was made. The resolution states, how¬
ever, that the committee is satisfied
that the crop will not be as large
as the current estimate.
The placing of tue minimum price
at 10 cents was in the nature of a
victory for the conservative element
of the association. In the executive
session of the committee, which was
continued throughout the day, the
highest price named as a minimum
was 12 cents.
The resolution adopted by the com¬
mittee, which is in the shape of an
address to the public, follows;
“Inasmuch as we, the cotton grow¬
ers of the south, know that there has
been great deterioration in the cotton
crop since August 15, and,
“Whereas, the consensus of opinion
of the members of this committee is
that the deterioration is still going
on, we deem it unwise to make an es¬
timate of the crop at this time. We
are satisfied that the crop wiil not
be as large as the current estimate.
“We, therefore, suggest and urge
upon all our members and producers
throughout the south not to sell their
cotton at a figure fess than the cost
of production.
“Owing to the high price of the
cost of living and scarcity of labor,
we feel, in order for the farmer who
raises cotton to live, feed and clothe
himself a ■'mijy «et aside a small
pitt dt the improvement of his
farr it is 1 necessary that cotton
,
should not be sold below the bread
and meat line, j which is 10 cents.
“In fixing 10 cents per pound as
the limit below which it should not
be sold, we have no reference to the
crop or any immediate condition.
“We call upon all southern inter¬
ests to aid in maintaining for all time
this price as a minimum. We urge
the necessity of marketing the crop
slowly and only on an advancing mar¬
ket, and withdraw all cotton from
the market at every decline.
“We appreciate and thank the press
for the valued service of the past and
urge those interests of the south to
assist in every manner possible to
maintain this minimum price.
“We appreciate and thank the mer¬
chants and bankers for the noble man¬
ner in which they have stood by the
farmers in the past and urge a contin¬
uation of their co-operation and sup¬
port.
FARMERS UNION WILL “STAND
PATf’ FOR ELEVEN CENTS.
Friday), the third day of the con¬
vention of the National Fanners’ Edu¬
cational and Co-Operative Union, in
session jat Texarkana, Texas, was per¬
haps the busiest of the meeting. The
morning moist session was taken up for
the part in hearing the report
of the /national executive committee.
This report shows the affairs of the
organisation, financial and otherwise,
to be excellent condition, also that
the books and acocunts of all officers
were correct.
The afternoon was largely devoted
to addresses and debates, Including
the cotton warehouse proposition.
The report sent out Thursday night
as to the fixing of the minimum price
for cotton seed was inaccurate. The
price was fixed at $15 per ton through¬
out the entire cotton belt, regardless
of section.
Several leading members of the or¬
ganization were asked for an expres¬
sion of wfiat they thought of the ac¬
tion of the Southern Cotton Associa¬
tion at Hot Springs in placing the
minimum price of cotton at 10 cents,
and the verdict was unanimous that
the National Farmers’ Union will
stand pat for ll cents. President Duck¬
worth said:
“We will stick for 11 cents. The
deterioration of the general condition
of cotton during the last two weeks
is sufficient evidence to prove that
the union has not placed the price (11
cents) too high."
GIST OF THE PLATFORM
Adopted by Georgia Democrats in State
Convention Assemb!ed-*Bryan
Candidacy Indorsed.
Following are some of the import¬
ant features of the platform adopted
by the Georgia state democratic con¬
vention:
We rejoice at the news from so
many states and cities of the republic,
that the people are studying their
rights, and are determined to assert
them.
The protective tariff taxes the
masses of the people to fill the pock¬
ets of the few.
The great body of the people
throughout the United States have suf¬
fered during recent years from the
inexcusable burdens placed on them
by the trusts, forcing up the prices
of what the masses have to buy. and
forcing down the prices of what the
masses have to sell.
We urge the next democratic na¬
tional convention to make an open,
plain attack upon these monopolies
and j>resent the necessity for their i
suppression as an issue before the
people.
These issues must culminate in the
political battle of lfiUS, when the dem¬
ocratic voters will rally to the stand¬
ard of our great leader, William Jen¬
nings Bryan.
The democracy of Georgia pledges
its earnest and loyal support to the
cause of the people i*ff that struggle.
With an abiding faith in the jus¬
tice of our causes, we give hearty en¬
dorsement to the great commoner
from Nebraska, and earnestly declai’e
in favor of his nomination for the
presidency as the man of ail others
who will lead thu-TTemocratic hosts
to certain victory.
We condemn the system by which
the great railroad corporations of the
country have been permitted to is¬
sue fabulous amounts of fictitious wa¬
tered stocks and "onds, many times
in excess of the values of the prop¬
erty upon which they are based. We
look upon this great evil as the pri¬
mary cause of excessive freight rates.
We declare it to be the policy of
the democratic party of Georgia that
hereafter all primary elections for
United States senators, state house
officers, supreme court and appellate
court judges, should such latter court
be created, shall be by direct popu¬
lar vote. THe candidate who, upon
the consolidation of the votes through¬
out the entire state, receive a ma¬
jority of all the votes cast, shall
he declared the nominee of the party
for that office. If no candidate shall
receive a majority of the total vote
cast, the two candidates for any of¬
fice receiving the highest number of j
votes cast, and no CThers, shall run in
a second primary. ShlT the candidate
receiving a majority of the votes cast
in the second primary shall be de¬
clared the party's nominee. For
judges and solicitors, nominations
shall be by plurality cf'the votes cast
on their respective circuits.
The white primary envolved out ot
our perplexities, is a martelous tri¬
umph of self government, and should
always be retained and strengthened.
Back of it, however, stands the low¬
ering threat that whenever the hosts
of privilege need support, they will
seek to divide our people by means
of corrupt and venal negro vote, re¬
tain balance of power.
We favor the adoption of an educa¬
tional qualification for voting along
1-he lines followed by our sister states
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louis- 1
iana. The amendment ought to be
so drafted as to exclude the largest
possible percentage of the ignorant
and purchaseable negro vote, under
the limitations imposed by the federal
constitution. At the same time, it
must be carefully drawn so as to pro¬
tect and safeguard in their right to
vote and to provide for the perma¬
nent registering for life of all citi¬
zens who have served in any of the
wars in which this country has been
engaged, and their descendants, and
also all persons of good character
who understand the responsibilities
and duties of citizenship under repub¬
lican form of government. We be¬
lieve this result can be obtained by :
an amendment to our constitution sub¬
stantially similar to the suffrage j
provision of the recent constitution of
the state of Alabama, with such
changes or modifications as may be
necessitated by local conditions in
Georgia.
We pledge the faith of the demo-!
cratic party to the people of Georgia i
that the democratic members of the
general assembly to be chosen ia the
ensuing election shall in good faith
and without delay submit such an
amendment to The people for their
ratification or rejection in the general
election to be held in October.

Worth the Money.
One of the credit men from the
South here attending the convention
being held at the Belvedere, tells of
an into; es'ing experience than a broth
er merchant had while en route to
this city, says the Baltimore Sunday
Herald. The story, without real
names and told from an Impersonal
standpoint, is as follows; They were
not acquainted but became so in the
smoking-room, as is customary.
“My name is Smith,” said one, “and
I am in the notion business.”
“My name is Jones,” said the oth¬
er, “and I am in the clothing busi¬
ness.”
Then they smoked in silence, Mr.
Smith scrutinizing Mr. Jones pretty
closely.
Finally Mr. Jones asked whether fhSa
new acquaintance was trying to typ
notize him.
“No,” said Mr. Smith, “but I know
what you are thinking about.”
“Are yon a mind reader?" asked
Jones.
“No,” replied the other,, “but I bet
$2 I know what you are thinking.”
The bet was made and Mr. Smith
sai-d:
“You are going to Baltimore to buy
a big stock of clothing, have it ship¬
ped to your place of business, get a
good insurance and then have a big
fire.”
Mr. Jones took out his purse and
handed Mr. Smith $2, saying:
“Nothing of the kind was in my
mind, but a suggestion of that, kind
is worth $2.”

HOW MANY OF US?
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.
A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
Says: ”1 was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
“After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces¬
sity of some change in my diet, and I
discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts witL a
good quantity of rich cream.
“In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and I
began to have a strength that I had
never been possesses of before, a
vigor of body and a poiBe of mind
that amazed me. It was entirely new
in my experience.
“My former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was
distressing with blind spells of dizzi¬
ness, rush of blood to the head and
neuralgic pains In the chest.
“Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast I nave been free from these
troubles, except at times when I have
Indulged in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then I would be warned by
a pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless I heeded the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
when 1 finally got to knuw where
theee troubles originated I returned
to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very qu.ck
iy.
“I am now in prime health as a
result of my use of Grape-Nuts.”
