GET 2U OR 25 CENTS A POUND
FOR EXPORTS!
Instead of exporting raw cotton
at 10 or 12cents a pound, ship it in
the form of finished goods at the
equivalent of 20 or 25c. a pound,
advises Southern Farming. “This
policy would net the equivalent of
SIOO a hale, of which say SOO would
go to the grower, and S4O would lie
divided between lubor, brains and
capital employed in .ts manufac
ture right here in our Southern
States. Unless we thus convert
into finished goods the surplus that
may not new be exported, values
may be greatly affected for months
to come, of both raw and manu
factured cotton
“Run the mills as suggested. Fin
ished goods take loss space and wit]
require fewer ships,” continues
Southern Farming. “America can
thus capture the markets of South
America, Africa. Oceania and Asia
in a single year.
‘‘Grower*, harvest new crop care
fully. Gimiers, grade it strictly
according to government grades
Store bales at gin or on farm where
grown, carefully protecting against
weather. This is simplest, best and
cheapest way of storing surplus
Plenty of cotton will be coming
forward to market, so there will be
no interruption to home trade.
“All interested must co-operate
in tiding over the situation. Mer
chants who hold crop-liens must
grant extension.
“Bankers must associate to make
advances for carrying the crop,
also for carrying t lie finished goods,
until both can be worked off grad
ually upon t he markets of the world
“This is simple, practical and
esy, now that Federul reserve sys
tem is available, also a great in
crease in emergency currency.
“No one need be scared.” con
cludes Orange Judd Southern Far

lulcctlou and Insect Bites Dangerous.
Mosquitoes, (lies and other in
sects, which breed quickly in garb
age pails, ponds of stagnant water,
burns, musty places, etc., are car
riers of disease. Every time they
bite you they inject poison into
voursystenqfrom which some dread
disease may result. Get a bottle of
SI onn’s Liniment.. It is antiseptic
and a few drops will neutralize the
intection caused bv insect bites or
rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment dis
infects Cuts, Urn isos and Sores. You
cannot afford to be without it in
your home. Money back it not sai

Summer Constipation Dangerous.
Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall,
winter or spring. The food you eat
is often contaminated and is more
likely to ferment in your stomach.
Then you are apt to drink much
cold water during the hot weather,
thus injuring your stomach. Colic,
Fever, Ptomaine Poisoning and
other ills are natural results. Po

ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, August 17. —That the
Southern cotton planter need not
worry about the European war so
seriously cutting down the market
oil cotton is the opinion of William
Hurd Hill yer, one of Atlanta’s fore
most investment bankers and finan
ciers. Mr. Hiliyer has just retur
ned from a visit to New York and
Philadelphia, where lie was in con
sultation with many financiers of
the two cities. He found a feeling
of confidence everywhere.
“The news that the English mills
will not stop spinning is indeed
welcome.” said Mr. Hiliyer. “Rut
even without that the situation
might eventually have resulted in
go and rather than harm. The war
will close many sources of export
from the great manufactories of
Europe, and these must turn to the
United States for manufactured
cotton goods. The mills of Amer
ica will supply tl.e countries which
formerly b tight fioui European
spinners. The United States lias
the opportunity of building up an
export trade which may beef ines
timable value ”

On Saturday at 12 30 o’c.oek our
hearts were saddened when the 15-
months old baby of Mr. and Mrs.
L. W. Haynes passed a wav. It had
that dreaded disease, bronchitis
Oh, how sad it was to part with
little L. M. at 15 months old ! But
let us think of that beaut iful home
to which he has gmie, and strive to
see him again. God gives and also
takes away. He leaves a heart*
broken father and mother, one br -
ther and a lost, of other relatives to
ill urn his death.
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which nom ever wake to weep;
A calm amt undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.”
'Phe funeral was conducted by
Rev. Smith, at the ceineteiy at
Moon's Grove, Aug. 15, h, and was
largely attended.
“A precious one from us is gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be tilled.”
