ATLANTA ELKS.
On CjffiRISTMAS
^ DAY
They Give Liberally to tha Cause of
Charity.
ATLANTA, Gn., Dec. 24.—Tha local
lodge of Elks gave today to the ci
charity in Atlanta, and acquitted It
self In such a manner ns to win tho
esteem of the public and the heartfelt
gratitude of.the poor of the city. From
largo store room on Marietta street
the Elks gave out provisions, clothing,
nnd fuel to nearly two thousand fami
lies of the city who were needing help.
V committee of prominent members
the order consisting of Exalted Rul-
Kmmett D. Walsh, Dr. J. Chester
King, Lowry Arnold. Jack SlAton, W.
K. Joyner, Roy Wellborn. Joe Stewart.
Mr. McDaniel and several others as
sisted by a doxen or more ladles,
worked all day relieving the wants of
the poor. Nearly $4,000 worth of pro-
vlslons. clothing and fuel were given to
those In need, and no one waa turned
away.
This money was raised by the Elks
amoung the members of that order.
Borm< days ligo. the exalted ruler ad
dressed a circular letter to oil of the
ministers of tho city, to Chief Ball, nnd
probative officer J. M. Glower, request
ing them to send in a list of every one
needing assistance. From lists sent In
charity was dispensed, nnd when these
lists were disposed of, the members of
tho committee conducted n street cam
paign collecting up nil of the poor chil
dren, the old women nnd the old mne
whose appearances indicated that they
•eded help. Tho boys and girls were
given warm clothing nnd the old peo
ple well filled tmskets containing (lour,
meal, meat, coffee, and fruit. They en
tered the store feeling disconsolate Hnd
friendless and left It happy and con
tented. The only minister of the city
who refused to assist the Elks in Its
work of charity was Dr. Len Brough
ton. Ilo not only declined to furnish
list of those needing help, but warned
members of hls congregation not to go
near the Elks, ronstlrtg the organisa
tion to the best of hls well known abil
ity In this line. He ran out of words
In hls condemnation of the order, nnd
was particularly Insulting to members

Christmas Eve in Americas.
AMKRICt'8. Ga.. Dec. 2*.—Fifteen
thousand holiday purchasers thronged
Amertcus* streets today, coming from
all the surrounding counties and towns
and increasing the Chrlatmaa trade
to phenomenal proportions. Amerlcus
merchants have had tha most excel

bute financial nld for the Importation
of pauper labor, thus placing a tax
upon our lands which would render
them worthless except to tho spin
ners. That the spinners should want
cheap, cotton Is but human—but we
should not he expected to pay for the
rope with which to break our own
necks.
It Is urged by some of our friends
that if we don’t make it nt the other
fellow's price that we can no longer
enjoy the proud distinction of having
n monopoly of the cotton raising busi
ness. To this we would reply that If
we must sell cotton nt four cents In
order to enjoy the monopoly, that we
nro willing to divide the honor.
The price of cotton is not a question
In which the farmer alone Is Interest
ed, the banker, merchnnt nnd all oth
ers nre equally interested. It is not
an individual question nor a county
question, not n state question but n
Southern question. Is there manhood
enough in the South to solve it to our
own Interest rather than to the inter
est of New England? ,
Many farmers have neglected their
food crops. They must buy supplies
to he paid for with six cents cotton,
with the usunl acreage planted. It
111 take much cotton nt six cents to
pay expenses, therefore a big crop
must be planted again nnd the food
crops neglected—thus the endless
chain will keep us at the mercy of the
bears—we will complain nnd whlno
because the bears will not help us—ns
If 'we thought they were not human
but divine. We beg the hankers to
assist us and be It said to their credit
they are willing. We complain nt tho
glnners* report, which In truth was
Inaugurated in the Interest of the
spinner, but If the truth should be
concealed the advantage would only
he temporary. We complain that the
agricultural department seems not to
he In sympathy with us—nnd we com
mend the efforts of Congressman
Livingston to know the facts. But In
nil and after all the fnrmera must be
the architect of their own fortunes,
can we succeed or must we fall? Dur
Ing the next three months la the time
to decide and answer. We can suc
ceed if we will by planting only ton
acres of cotton to the plow.
Ten acres of cotton to the plow. Lei
this be the slognn from one end of the
cotton belt to the other.
It may be said that the cut la too
deep, hut thfc trouble la next to the
bone nnd the remedy to be effectual
must be heroic.
Teh ncres of cotton to the plow will
stop the importation of com. mule*,
pork, wheat, hay. lard, butter end
chickens nnd eggs. Our own fields
will then produce these thing* in
abundance better than we can buy.
Ten acrea of cotton to the plow
means one-half the work and double
the profit. It converta the life of t the
farmer from one of drudgery to one of
pleasure. It will restore the fertlllt.
of the land and - build up the waste
places. It will fill the country w'th
prosperous and happy families, bultd
up the roads, build school houses and
churches and bring hack the South
land to what God Intended It—the
home of the farmer who win receive
the plaudit "Well done,** because he
has used the fields aa nature Intended
they should be.
We recommend that a- crusade be
made in favor of ten acres of cotton to
the plow. We recommend this Idea to
the interstate convention soon to meet
and suggest that missionaries be put
In the field In ever)’ congressional dis
trict In every cotton growing state
nnd organise the farmers for self pro
tection and have every member first
to stgn an oath to plant only ten
of cotton to the plow.
Providence only helps those who
help themselves. We now have an
opportunity to throw off the shackles,
let It pass, it may not soon return.
We think cotton seed at the present
prices should be used as fertiliser. Wa
do not advise selling for leas than $20

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE’S,
Ashbumham, Ontario, Testifies to the
Good Qualities of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.
A8IIBURNHAM. Ont, April IS,
1903.—I think it la only right that l
should tell you what a wonderful ef
fect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy haa
produced. The day before Easter I
was so distressed with a cold and
cough that I did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as
my voice waa almost choked by the
cough. The same day I received an
order from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. I at once procured a
sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had com
pletely disappeared and I waa able to
preach three times oh Easter Day. I
know that this rapid and effective cure
Was due to your Cough Remedy. I
make this testimonial without solicita
tion, being thankful to have found such
God-sent remedy. Respectfully
yours.
E. A. LANGFELDT. M. A..
Rector of St. Luke’s Church.

This remedy is for sale by all drug

attention to hog and hominy. The al
may prove a blessing In disguise.
