Nothing else to do as soon as. your Uncle Samuel got in behind ’em. There seems to be a bond of sympathy between a good looking lass and a good looking glass. “A lot o’ men,” said Uncle Eben “is fairly successful, only dey’s jes’ nachelly so dissatisfied dey won’t admit it.” “The goose that laid the golden egg” had something on the hen who is laying eggs at the present price—but not very much. Reports say the Kaiser is spend ing most of his time in reading the Bible and in prayer. If he had done that four years ago with sincerity there would have been no war. When, after the war, we try to' get back to normal wavs of living and doing business we’ll more fully realize how far we’ve been from them. It’s going to be a huge job, too. If America gains nothing else from the war she will at least have a greatly increased knowl edge of European geography. In fact, she will assist in making the new map of Europe. It will be an entirely new world after this war. No nation upon it will be upon anything like the same footing it was before it came. And best of all, the change will be for the better. There is a young man whois known as “mamma’s darling” in Atchison, but down in Kansas City they say he is a regular papa’s tom cat. —Atchison Globe. And there are others. The Allies may be able to pay Uncle Sam back the money he has loaned them, but they owe him greater debts than that which they will be a long time paying, if they are ever able to do so. “Are you engaged in war work” asked the sweet young thing of the man with the underslung spec tacles and the coarse voice and features. “Yes, I am a divorce lawyer,” answered the man, with a sigh. Guess we now see our mistake in not even persuading the gov ernment to fix the price of cotton. If the cotton growers could get free of their self-constituted so called friends their troubles and losses would be far less. —Ogle- thorpe Echo. - General Foch. It is less than seven months that Ferdinand Foch-took command of all the allied armies, ! says F. H. Simonds, a military ex pert writer in the New York Tri ll bune. He came in on the morn j ing of the terrible defeat of March j 21, with Amiens in danger and i the severance of the British and French armies still a possibility. Before he could grasp the reins a German victory in Flanders seem ed to open the way to the chan nel. About this time we were all talking of the possibility that Lu dendorff would reach Calais and take Paris. And now we are dis cussing the terms of German sur render as beaten German armies flow hack toward the Rhine, with France liberated and Belgium emerging from the wreck of Ger man occupation. Is it too much to believe that, on the military side, Ferdinand Foch will hereafter rank witth Ceesar, Frederick and Napoleon, and on the moral side surpass them all, since he has done for humanity and civilization what the others did for themselves —did in pursuit of power? In combiningi the military genius of Napoleon | w'th the patriotic loyalty of Wash ington, Foch has written a new and splendid, chapter in military history— lmperishable Hence forth. Wonderful Figures. The United States Census Bu reau reports that cotton ginned up to October 18 amounted to 6,- 790,003 bales, as compared with 5,573,606 bales up to the same date last year and 7,303,183 bales uo to Oct. 18, 1916. These are wonderful figures. The cotton crop this year has been raised in the face of a shortage in the supply of farm labor and der spite the ravages of the weevil. It is naturally gratifying to us here in the Southeast that the bulk of increased ginnings is in our own section. Georgia’s ginning up to Oct. 18 were 1,227,736 bales, a full quart er-million bales ahead of the gin nings up to the corresponding date in 1917. Alabama had gin ned-485,520 bales up to the date — as much, indeed, as the entire crop has amounted to in that State in some of these recent boll weevil years. ' Mississippi, which was so hard hit by the weevil a few years ago, reported that it has ginned 583,961 bales up to Oct. 18. South Carolina, with fts 795,340 bales up to that date, has also made a splendid record. All this spells money —real mon ey —and especially for the South east, for the crop in the South west seems to be off. The situation in Georgia, the leading cotton-producing State east of the Mississippi river, illu strates the tremendous value of the cotton crop this year. Last year Georgia grew not quite two million bales of cotton. This year its production, as indicated by ginnings up to the middle of Oc tober, will run at least two million bales and probably a little more than that. —Industrial Index.
