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.

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 of the organisation whd requested him to act with them In relieving the poor of the etty.

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 lent holiday business in years, and nil are thoroughly ant letted therewith. Today the streets are well nigh Im passable for the wagons and multi tude of people jambing them.

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 per ton, but If any one Is compelled to | sell we advise farmers who are able to buy them »**d uae them as manure In stead of buying commercial The oil mills are paying *io foe seed and claim to make only $1 per .ton by crushing them. I*t the farmer pay the mills $t ton commission and use the seed to* manure. Farmers who •ell seed buy corn, those that sell corn buy seed. yy§ advise the purchase of guano on a cotton banls and advise making notes due Dec. 1st. We would also advise farmers to buy as sparingly aa possible and if any have not sowed oats to do so Im mediately after the holidays and plant other crops to supplement the food crops. RECTOR OF ST.

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.
