A Disappointed Man.
"Didn’t, your son Jim run for the
legislature last fall?" was asked of
the old farmer by the village merch
ant after his butter had been weighed
and his eggs counted out.
"Yes' and he was elected too.” was
the answer.
"And how have things gone with
him at the capitol?”
"Mighty poor,"
"Hasn’t he caught on?"
"Somehow he liain’t, and lie’s a
disappointed man. He was homo for
over Sunday, and ho said he almost
wished he hadn't run for the place."
“What did he say seemed to be |
the matter?” continued the merchant '
as he measured off five yeards of .
calico warranted not to fade. i
"Why the only feller that has come ,
to Jim and asked him to* vote agin the
railroad bill up In the House talked
for three long hours, and then only

Prayer.
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Unuttered or expressed;
The motion of the hidden fire
That trembles in the breast,
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glance of an eye
When none but God is near.

He didn’t know it was loaded,

That was pretty sweet.

He gave her jaw—she exploded.

MILLS AND RATES.
Alabama's Commission Shows Hoafe
Southern Mills Are protected.
Montgomery, Ala., March 19th—Ala*
biima’fl railroad commission ban do*
dined to change the rates on cottow
to mills In this State. Col. Comer,
camli.lafo for governor and the owner
orlty of the railroad
not agree with him.
The Commission In Id tha
ton mills are highly prosperous now:
that the Southern mills can bring la.
their raw material and ship tho finish
ed goods to New England for u less,
rate than the Jlew England mills can,
get lhe raw cotton from the South.
The Commission goes on to say:
"Another advantage enjoyed by tho
Alabama product Is that the rato on
this class of goods from the east bade
to the markets of this state is h/gher
than the rate from points In this stat«v
to the east thus protecting thft Ala
bama product In Its own territory.
In a word, the rate Is so adjtsteR
that tho Alabama product can com
pote In the east and the west with tho
product from the eastern mills, and i&
elgn trade.
The textile directory for 1905 shown
that there were in Alabama fifty cot
ton mills, an increase of about Vb
per cent over the number in 1900. la
South Carolina the Increase was abooR
60 per cent, in North Carolina ant
Tennessee about 35 per cent, in Gear*
gia upwards of 90 per cent.” -.
"We further find from thta torodb*
Igatlon that reasonable, and in man?
Instances very low rates aro mad*
from points in Alabama to mills with
out the state. • The mills in Alabama
by no means consume the entire
product of the state and tills adjust
ment of rates to foreign mills Is un
doubtedly in the Interest of tho cot
ton producer In Alabama, as It gives
hipi more markets In which to seR
tho excess of his product over tha
amount consumed by the Alabama
mills, and places him nearer tha
Liverpool or eastern base at a reason
able rate. It Is to be conceded thafc
the value of cotton is what It Is worth
In Liverpool, nnd the eastern makets
les the cost of getting It there, and
ho far as the producer is concerned fain
Interest Is best conserved by tho beak
reasonable rato which puts his prod
uct nearest the Liverpool of eastern
market.
An adjustment which considers only
tho local rates would inevitably
tend to confine tho producer to tfu*
Alabama rnnrket alone, nnd this
would obviously bo to his great disad
vantage.”
One of the best houses In New York
that deals in high-class furniture is
displaying a dining-room all furnished
and seemingly ready to use. While
the furniture and laces employed are
such as to call forth commendation
form even the most critical house
keeper. the one thing tha Invariably
brings exclamation of delight from
visitors is the table trimmings.
The dining table is set for luncheon
that Is, there Is a luncheon cloth of
linen and lace laid and the candle
sticks are In place; hot since the
honse does not deal in silver, china or
glassware those items are conspic-
ously lacking. However, they are not
needed, for the inspiration lies In the
ribbon decorations. In the center is
a huge bowl of roses, with Just enough
of foliage In them to relieve the tints,
the shades running from a pale blush
pink right on down Into the deepest
and richest red of the Jacqueminot,
cates,' 'Introduction*,' and tbe like . The silver candleatlcks are embedded
are held to embrace the elements of
shorter
darker colorings,
"Just the thing to make oneself, and
so have table decorations ready for
any emergency" Is tho remark that Is
Is almost Invariably passed, and eager
are the inquiries of the attendant ns
to where such things arc to be found
and Instruction arranged for.
All of those charming ribbon flow
ers borrow liberally from the stock of
the artlflcal flower maker. The foliage
Is, nine times out of ten, borrowed
from such source, and the centers of
the flowers are *11 the better when
they, too, display allegiance to the
older art.
