the limit of profit wil soon be reached
on these farms, unlesg they are de
voted to very high-class specialties.
The man who is ambitious for large
affairs will go farther back to the open
country, assemble several farms, em
ploy much labor, organize the busi
ness, and apply the kind of general
ship that is applied to manufacturing
or large merchandizing. More and
more the type of man who now runs
a small farm will find it to his advan
tage to work under the direction of a
man of larger executive ability. It
will soen be demonstrated that capital
can be made to yield a profit when put
into well-farmed land. Young men
with good technical education and first
class executive ability will take the
handling of such lands. Small farm
ers who have technical skill and
knowledge, but who lack business abil
ity, will be drawn under the leadership
of such men, to the betterment of both.
At present every farmer is at the
same time a specialist and a business
man. Division of labor must come in
farming as it long ago came in com
merce.”
Farmers who desire their sons to be
masters rather than servants of the
situation in the future will give a keen
ear to this note of warning. The
trained and skilled operator will take
the lead, in this view, and the man
who has relied mainly upon nature to
keep his affairs in order will become
a hewer of wood and a drawer of wa

be the same difference that exists be
tween the successful man and the fail

life. One man knows how to work and
works; another does not know how,
and does not work.

Congressman Griggs Tenders His
Services to the Dry Side.
From the Thomasville Times-Enterprise.
There is much interesting political
gossip still floating around as af
termath of the last week of the cam
paign. One of the most interesting of
the stories is to the effect that Con
gressman James M, Griggs has an
nounced himself as willing to take the
stump for prohibition at any time.
There were two or three joint de
bates between Judge Griggs and S. A.
Roddenberry the last week. These two
gentlemen are close personal friends,
and until recently have been political
allies. But they took opposite sides
‘during the recent campaign, and their
'clash in the forensic arena has arous
ed old political rumors to the effect
that the Thomasville man will oppose
‘Mr. Griggs for his political seat in
ithe national legislature next time. W.
;A. Covington and Judge W. N.
‘}Spence are also mentioned in this
‘connection, but Mr. Covington is a
'candidate for the new court of ap
' peals, and if elected will not be in the
running.
It is understood that the declaration
.of Mr. Griggs that he was a prohibi
‘tionist was made in his joint debate
‘with Mr. Roddenberry at Dawson
The Thomasville lawyer is one of the
‘most prominent dry orators in the
siate, and the ract was referred to dur
ing the debate. It is said that Mr.
’Griggs made the statement that he
would help the dry element with his
voice at any time they might call up
‘ on him. .
~ Additional interest is felt in this an
nouncement because the congressman
has not hitherto been allied with this
side, and his home county, Terrell,
has a disjeishry. At any rate the
debate must have been most interest
igg- Judge Roddenberry’s oratorical
methods caused much comment, and a
correspondent of the Albany Herald
said ‘'he raved like a crazy negro wo
man.”’
RODDENBERRY IS FOR GRIGGS.
So far as any opposition to Judge
Griggs on the part of Mr. Roddenber
ry is concerned, the Thomasville man i
declared in his debate here, and the
declaration was received with tremen
dous applause by the large audience,
that though they might differ on state
candidates he was for Griggs for con
gress. Mr. Roddenberry has long
been one of Judge Griggs staunchest
friends. ]
OLD BOTTLE OF LIQUOR WAS
RURIED WITH “COL. JIM.”
A dispateh to the Chicago Record:
Herald from Fulton, Ky., says:
Colonel Jim Broder, a pioneer, cap
italist and eccentric old eitizen of Ful
ton, died recently.
Broder two years ago had a solid
rock hewn into a gfave for himself,
and bought a casket in which he had
lain to get a good fit. He kept a piece,
of meat in the rock for a year to test
its preservative qualities. He was
wrapped in forty yards of linen, which
he had purchased some time ago for a
shroud. ! -
Broder left instructions that he
wanted to be buried forthwith ‘‘with
out any frills,’’ as he often said, so he
ras laid in the strange grave a few

LARGER THAN LAST YEAR'S
IS WHAT NEW YORK COMMER
CIAL SAYS OF COTTON CROP.
Its Special Report from the Cotton
Belt Is Interesting. Condition of
the Crop in Different Sections.
In its special edition the New York
Commercial, basing its information on
reports from its correspondents all
through the cotton belt, declares that
the yield this year will be larger than
last, although it will not equal the
bumper yields of 1903 and 1904.
The crop is about ten days late. It
is the general opinion that the out
look is best west of the Mississippi
and least promising in the Carolinas.
lln Georgia the prospect is good, es
timates of one and three-quarters of
a million bales being the average.
lSa}'s the Commercial:
“Reports from correspondents of the
New York Commercial in the various
districts of the cotton belt indicate
that the crop for the coming season
will in all probability be larger than
that of last year, but will not equal the
bumper yield of 1903-04. After a
rather late start the weather condi
tions have as a general thing im
proved, and while the crop will be
from ten days to two weeks late, the
condition at this time is good.
“These favorable conditions are es
pecially reported from Texas and the
other trans-Mississippi districts, while
the only unfavorable news comes from
the Carolinas and northeastern Geor
gia, where during July and the early
part of Augus. there was almost con
tinuous rain.
“From Tex::s only good news is
heard, and one correspondent declares
that the crop will be 3,200,000, which
is undoubtedly a ‘ery conservative
estimate. The acreage in that state
was increased, the damage from boll
weevil and other pests was smaller
than it has been for years, and the
weather was almost ideal. The only
cloud that is dimming the bright sun
shine of the Texas plunter’'s happiness
is the scarcity of labor for harvesting
the crop. Although some Mexicans
will be pressed into service, there will
still be a great skortage, and it is
not improbable that much cotton will
be lost on this account.
“In Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
Louisiana the same cheerful outlook
is reported. In Oklaloma especially
'the vield will be so good that the far
!mers have, as the correspondent ex
|pressed it, “gone cotton crazy.” This
'is taken to indicate that the acreage
next year will be largely increased.
The territory and Louisiana, report
good weather and aa enthusiastic out
' look.
. “In Arkansas it is generally con
!ceded that the crop will be the largest
ever raised. The state wiil certainly
turn out more than 1,000,000. The
weather has been fine aand.the out
turn per acre will be rar above the
average.
l Through the central south the con
ditions have been reasonably good,
land the crop, while somewhat late,
'will be rather above the average. It
is only on the Atlandic coast line that
‘the conditions are actually bad, and
the amount of cotton raised in this
section is not sufficient to cut much
fisure with the total crop. Incessant
rain since the first of July has pre
vented sufficient cultivation, and many
of the fields are hopelessly overgrown
with weeds and grass. In addition the
nlant has largely gone to stalk, and
the bolls are poorly filled. There is
some indiecation of rotting and the
farmers in the main are discouraged.
These conditions, however, do not re
fer to the Sea Island crops, which are
said to be in fair condition.
“Throughout the entire belt there is
trouble on account of the shortage of
labor. This is a factor which may
not only work to reduce the crop, but
will also increase the initial cost of
producing the staple.”
NEIL KILLED BY CAR,
Eminent Cotton Statistician Meets
a Tragic Death.
Henry M. Neill, one of the best
known cotton statisticians, both in this
country and in England, was struck
by a street car in New Orleans
Wednesday, and died that night from
his injuries. Mr. Neill while waiting
for a car stood too close to the track,
and was knocked down as the car
passed him. A
He was for many years In the cot
ton business in New Orleans, being a
brother and local representative
of the firm of Neil Bros. &. Co., of
London. He was at one time consid
ered by English spinners as one of
the greatest crop authorities in Amer
jca. Mr. Neill was born in England
and was 79 years old.

THE WORST YET.
Fisherman Caught a Beer Keg Filled
With Fine Black Bass.
From the Watterson Times.
While fishing Saturday in the St.
Lawrence river L. Arnold Hamilton
of Secranton, Pa., who is visiting his
grandparents, Maj. and Mrs. J. H.
Durham, was successful im making a
good catch under extraordinary cir
cumstances. ; :
It seems that Mr. Hamilton had
started to row across the river when
he noticed a stick floating in the wa
ter, with a line attached. Being cu
rious he brought it into the boat, and
upon hauling in the line discovered,
to his surprise, a beer keg fastened to
the end, the hook having caught se
curely in the bung hole. '
On further investigation he found the
keg contained a fine black bass, which
proved to weigh over five pounds.
Fvidently the fish had gone into the
keg when quite small and it apparent
ly grew to such proportions that it
could not get out.
TO SEEK SNAKE IN STOMACH. i
Operation to Decide if Indiana Man
Swallowed One. ‘
The mother of Harry Schwaegerle,
of Evansville, Ind., believes that he
has a snake in his stomach and phy
sicians who have examined him say
that such is probable. Harry is now?
19 years of age. Up to the time he
was 13 vears old he was considered a
normal child in both mind and body.
Since that time he has physically
dwarfed. and has showned constantly
decreasing mental strength. When a
little over 12 years old he went black
berry picking with several compan
ions. They drank from a spring.
None of the other children showed
any bad effects from the water, but
Harry became violently ill. Return
ing home he sufferal spasms. Doc-!
tors have failed since then to give him
relief. For the last seven vears he
has passed through several spasms a
week. |
So firm is the mother in the belief
that her son has a snake in his stom
ach that she has asked the physician
to perform an operation on the young
man.
The laxative effect of Chamberlain’s
Stomach and Liver Tablets is so
agreeable and so patural you can
hardly realize that it is produced by

indigestion and biliousness. Price
