The announcement that we have
just had one of the smallest cot
ton crops in a number of years
ought to have a very salutary ef
fect on the coming season’s oro

just now that we will break any
records in the matter of extra-or
dinary yield this year.
The readiness and promptness
with which the State militia has
responded to the call of service
on the Mexican border, relieves it

selves of the charge, says the

They say Bryan wept at the St.
Louis convention. Who can find
it in his heart to cast a jibe at
Bryan for that? What other man
ever lived who had so many alter
nate ups acd downs in keeping
with the alternating impulses of
party conventions? “So near and
yet so far” has often been the sad
refrain in Brya.i’s consciousness
as he went down from the exalta
tion of convention excitement to
the humdrum of his home and his
office. Few men have lived as
much as lias Bryan. Few men
have written upon their souls the
living memories of such antithetic
emotions. Now r he passes into
decline. The great days are over.
Well may he weep—for his mem

Sending invitations and compli
mentary tickf-ts to the newspaper
probablv originated with the first
newspaper, though it has never
been a practice in Rochelle. —New
Era. Isn’t it strange how the av
erage person will accept courtesies
from a newspaper, and then give
it the marble heart? The people
in this community are not free
from this. It is usually character
istic of small cities. Some people
will get all they can out of the
editor and offer very little in re
turn. But, what’s a newspaper
for, anyway? The editor and his
family don’t have to eat, and the
printers are like camels, they go
nine days without drinking. The
average person thinks a newspa
per is a free horse for everybody
to ride. —Greensboro Herald-Jour

Editorial Love Letter.
“Dear, darlinjf delinquent! Oh,
precious subscriber in arrears!
You are so shy! Do yon think we
have sold out and gone? No, lit
tle sugar plum, we couldn’t get
away if we wanted to. We are
still at the same old place, dishing
out the sweet promise and bright
expectations. They make an ex
cellent diet, darling, with a little
pudding flavored to serve as des
sert. We are waiting and watch*
for thee, our little turtle dove.
We long to hear the gentle foot
steps on the step outside and lis
ten to the ring of the happy dol
lars in our office. Dear one, we
feel unusually sad and lonely with
out you, dear. Now, little pie
crust, will you come? Do we hear
your answer in a voice so sweet
and beguiling. ‘l’m coming,’ or is
it the cold and bleak winds that
around our office roar? We
pause for further development.”
—Hickville Howler,

Gee, but it sure passeth under
standing—the love that Shops of
the Dalton Citizen lavishes on
Judge Fite of his Circuit. In his
last issue he says of Fite:
“Judge Fite has the worst re
cord of any man in Georgia, and he
knows it, and he also knows that
we know it, and furthermore he
knows we intend to keep that re
cord where the people can look
at it whenever ihev want to.
“So far as Fite, the man is con
cerned, we have no respect for
him, ‘md as a Judge, we have less.
Therefore, what he says about us
amounts to just as much a id no
more than pouting water on a
duck’s back. A gentlem in can in
sult us, but a judicial guttersnipe
can’t.”
And if, after reading this, there
remains any doubt in your min i
as to how Shope feels towards
this erudite wearer of th - judici u
ermine, just drop him " line and
he’ll tell you —that is, ir he can
find any words that are sufficient
ly i ire proof to carry ins burning
thoughts. —Forsyth Advertiser.

Here's Speedy Relief
from Kidney Troubles
“Poley Kidney Pills have done me a
heap of pood.” A. T. Bartlett, Brock
ton, Mass.
Some days It seems as if you can no
longer bear the pain and misery you
suffer from kidney and bladder trouble.
The ache across your back grows worse
with every move you make, and with
every step you take. It not only robs
you of all your strength and energy, but
it affects the other important organs of
the body as well. Nervousness, head
ache, disordered stomach, liver trouble,
tad eyesight, are only some of the con
ditions that follow kidney trouble.
Foley Kidney Pills help the sick weak
Kidneys to regain their normal healthy
state and activity. When they are again
able to do their work effectively, vour
system is no longer choked and blocked
with poisonous waste matter. Your
symptoms clear up, your weariness,
pain, misery and weakness go away.
Foley Kidney Pills can do you also “a.
heap of good."
