Wood decay is caused by fun

times so small that it can be seen
only with the microscope. Its
roots or branches, like minute 1
hairs, force their way into flic
wood tissues and absorb or cat

ANOTHER FORM
OF BLUFFING
“The report relative to the im
portation Indian cotton by nulls
of South Carolina is a new feature
m the game of bluff which the
mill* are playing, the stake being
American grown cotton at the
lowest possible cost.
This is but unothar move by the
■pinning world to reduce the price
of our lintt
So says Henry S. Heed, editor
of The Cotton Journal.
“India produces only from three
million In five million bales, and
to do t his tweuty-one million acres
are employed. The fi her of I nil lan '
!
cotton is very short, fine and not
strong, being unfitted for use by j
American or English mills. India
requires all her grown cotton, and
besides is the greatest buyer of
cotton goods in the world, with I
the exception of Chinn. If the cot-!
lon from India could be used bv j
the Occidental mills, England
would lie happy. However, of the 1
more than three million bales used
by England last year, only sixty*'
eight thousand came from the
< b lent.
"Our people need not fear the
Indian cotton as a rival of Dixie.s
cotton. The waste alone in man-;
ufactiire is said to equal to Minty
percent.. One would think to read,
the report tie* mill men in South
Ctirnliiiu had made n great iliscov- ;
orv which, if true, tie* spinners of
t ie* w orld and t le* cdt on exchange
people must indeed be simple
minded. This undoubtedly is
ano! her form of bluffing practiced
by 1 1 1 owe who buy southern grow n
cotton, and is intended to weak**n
the posit ion of southern prod
ucers.

HALLEY’S COMET

Halley s comet is now so near
the earth that it may be observed
lin a short time through an ordi
nary telescope, according to re- 1
ports received from different as
t roiiomical otsrervat ions.
Although It has been spinning
toward the earth with a treiuen
