More Uses For cotton.
With the price of cotton being
t*t«adily depressed, in spite of the
•■shortage of several million bales
nn the last crop, on account of the
tbasioess depression that has
effected the entire country it
Sooks as if it is to become necessary
ftor the farmers of the South to de
■vise new methods ot utilizing cot
*ton.
The suggestion has been made
Tiefore this time that the cotton
.planters of the South should give
preference to guano that is put up
in cotton sacks over that put up in
jute bags.
The writer was told by Mr. Hal
Baker, one of the big farmers ot
Warren countv several days ago,
•that if the farmers would de¬
termine on such a movement they
«eould increase the consumption of
cotton over a million bales. But
such a preference could be carried
••even further. The grain sacks,
which, unfortunately, come to the
South every year m great numbers
•could also be cotton if the farmers
«cf the South wouid only insist on
it an give their trade to firms that
•would undertake 10 furnish such a
•covering instead of the product of
’the jute trust. Then there is the
matter of clothing. If the South
would insist strongly on cotton
garments they could get them aud
greatly increase the demand for
their 3taple.
All these matters have been
threshed out time and time again
In the South through the medium
of iarmers’ conventions and other
^similar assemblies. It is true
that nothing ever came ot these
xjrusades, but now the farmers are
better organized than ever before
nnd if the movement was put afoot
.at this time it might result in a

be necessary for the farmers to do
something to put the demand for
their crops out of the reach of the
speculators and manipulators of
the country.
As mutters now stand the farm¬
ers appear to he unable to meet the
tight of the speculators for a bear
price, and if the demand can be
made so large and complete that
the gamblers car.nct handle the
crop then the prices will reach the
level at which they should stand,
so as to pay the farmer what he
deserves on his investment and ler
his work.—Macon News

THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON, GA
HE DIDN’T GO HUNGRY. »|
Neither Did Hi3 Partner After Their
Scheme Succeeded.
The man who once was down nnd
out. but is so no longer, was telling
the other day or one of his poverty
He was traveling with another chap
just as much down and out as he, anil
both were hungry. Their capital was
insignificant, and they didn’t inteud to
spend any of it. But they had a re¬
volver. which suggested to the first
man a scheme. It worked out some¬
thing like this:
“I went into a pretty good looking
restaurant,” said the prosperous one.
taking a long draw at his cigar, "and
as my clothes looked pretty good I
wasn't an object of suspicion. I had
an overcoat which belonged to my
partner.
"As the overcoat and the revolver
were chief characters in the ensuing
drama, they have to be mentioned
prominently. 1 got a seat right near
the door and hung up my coat so that
it was only a step away from the door.
“Then I sat down and ordered a
square oue, a meal that it would be
impossible to describe it was so good.
It was flavored With the sauce of absti¬
nence—from food.
“I ate and ate and ate. and by and
by my partner came along. Without
his overcoat—and it was a cold day—
he didn’t look ^good. He hung around
the door for a long while. looking like
a hobo getting up his nerve to come in
and beg.
“Just about the time he made a sig¬
nal to me that showed he was about to
enter I got up to go to the cigar coun¬
ter to pick out a nice after dinner
smoke. In came my partner and slunk
up to the desk to ask for a bit of food.
“Nothing doing. Fie was turned
down cold. Then to make the thing
work better he came up to me and
asked: ’Say, boss, won't you give me a
lift? I'm down and out.’ I repulsed
him sternly, and after looking around
he started out.
"I said to the proprietor in a virtu¬
ous way, ‘I (Jon’t believe in helping
those bums.' to which be answered
with a smug shake of the head. when
my partner grabbed the overcoat. I
knew what he was doing, but I pre¬
tended to be very much interested in
the cigar until the proprietor yelled
out, 'Hey, he’s stealing your coat!'
"I held on to the cigar, wheeled
around and started for my partner,
lie was half out of the door. I yelled.
'Drop that. 1 ' and for answer he drew
the revolver and flourished It.
“The proprietor dropped behind the
counter, and the waiters fled to the
kitchen. From his place the proprietor
called out: ‘Look out! He'll shoot you!’
And. taking my cue, I let him run out.
“Then when the excitement cleared
off I raised an awful row about losing
the coat, and the proprietor finally
came up with the money for a new
one. say about $30. Well, did that
meal pay me? What?”—New York
Sun.
Exploding a Mine In Granite.
One of the methods of quarrying
granite is to dislodge a huge sheet
from the surface of the formation
through the medium of a powder mine.
A large perpendicular shaft is first
blasted to a depth of about thirty
feet. At the bottom of this and radiat¬
ing in all directions horizontally, like
the spokes of a huge wheel, long holes
are drilled. The extremities of these
holes are then shot with light charges
of dynamite in order to create cham¬
bers large enough to receive large
quantities of black powder. This takes
weeks of ever increasing charges.
Then the final charge is loaded. The
now huge chambers at the extremities
of the spokes are packed with hun¬
dreds of pounds of powder, numerous
electric wires attached and the whole
mine tamped with fine material. A
mighty roar and rumble in the bowels
of the earth and the huge sheet is de¬
tached from the ledge.—Popular Me¬
chanics.
A Fraudulent Tax.
A well to do German farmer in a
western state came into the town of
which he was accounted a resident to
pay his taxes. The bill was handed to
him. itemized as follows:
State tax.......................... $15.90
County tax..................... 8.50
School tax........................ 5.00
Total ..................................... .429.40
After the German had carefully scru
tinized the bill he set his lips tightly
and in a very determined manner said:
"I pays de state tax, I pays de coun
ty tax und I pays de school tax, but
I be doggoned if I pays dat total tax.
I never bad no total tax! I think he
is a fraud. ’—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Missed the Mark.
A north of England clergyman re¬
cently preached against ill natured
gossiping nnd spoke pretty plainly to i
his congregation on the subject. One i
of the members of the congregation to
whom he was especially alluding came \
up to him after the service. The vicar
she thought he about had touched her and that j
was to express contrition,

Laugh trouble to scorn,
That’s the one certain way ;
For trouble*is bom
And dies in a day.
Laugh worry to fear
And langh at despair;
Give a smile of good cheer,
And bid farewell to care.
O Keep the heart merry,
And sing a gay soug ;
Tis easy to burry
The hatchet of wrong.
O Keep the mind easy.
Your lips in a smile ;
Be happy breezy,
And life is worth whiie.
