Rome Man’s Opinion of Contraband
Cotton.
J. Park Row loin Home Tribune-Herald.
Since England and her allies (France,
Husain and Italy,) seem determined to
make cotton contraband of war, 1 have
been interested to know what countries
besides Germany will be affected and to
what extent they are consumers of cot
ton.
I find from the report on cotton for
the year ending Aug. :{1, 1911, sent me
by Mr. W. J. Harris, then Director of
the Census, that in that year the Uni
ted States shipped to Germany 2,881,-
221 bales of cotton, to Austria 106,511
bales, to Holland 95,725 bales, to Bel-
ginm 227,474, and to all other European
countries (5:1,725 bales, excepting Spain,
to which 297,289 bales were shipped.
The latter country wdl not likely be in
cluded in the blockade, on account of its
location.
Adding the four first sets of figures
giveB a total of 9,9)7,089 hales affected
by the declaration of a contraband. To
the four countries agreeing to this dec
laration there was shipped in the year
ending Aug. 91, 1914, 5,957,999 bales,
snd they, of course, can secure all the
cotton they need, assuming that Eng
land and France will continue to con
trol the seas.
To these countries etui be added Ja
pan with 952,110 bales, Spain 297,930
bales, Canada 150,999 hales, making a
total of (1,159,105 hales that are free
from the operation of the declaration of
con traband.
During the year referred to the mills
in the United States consumed 5,884,-
79t> bales. Add to this quantity that
consumed by the countries not affected,
and there is a grand total of 12,049,838
hales, a small excess over this year’s
crop, which the last Government report
placed at 11,900,000 hales.
Germany’s ships have been driven
from the seas and her only means of
securing cotton being through neutral
ports, which the declaration of cotton
as contraband effectually closes, re
duces her chances for getting cotton
to “running the blockade,” and these
are extremely small, so that, as a mar
ket, Germany cannot be counted.
I am informed by cotton men that an
estimated “surplus" of 5,000,000 bales
is to he reckoned with this season.
They also tell me the mills in the Uni
ted Stales wdl be likely to require 1,-
000,000 more bales next, year than this,
and also that 3,(MM),000 hales are re
quired Now by the countries at war
for making explosives. (How Germany
hereafter is to secure her share, is a
problem )
Japan has already largely increased
her consumption, and no doubt, will
maintain it. England's and France’s
consumption for explosives offsets any
reduction in their mills, so that the
“surplus" should he very materially re
duced.
In view of the situation as outlined,
making cotton contraband is not such
a calamity ss some people soetn to re
gard it. With my limited information
and experience, conditions at the open
ing of this year’s cotton season are im-
fnensurahly hotter than last. The large
increase in the production of corn, oats
and wheat is a great improvement for
the South.
Cats have been kicked and knocked
about since Mother Eve induced Adam
to bite a hunk out of the apple she hud
sw iped from the Garden of Eden. A
tom cat makes night hideous when sing
ing to his “soul mate,“and she in reply
lets out h yell that causes shoes, pitch
ers, lamps, and other articles to lly at
her. accompanied by a curse that, were
it as destructive as it is sincere, would
wipe the whole feline family off tie
map. What good are cats anyway? If
you pick one up and rub its fur a few
minutes, it will purr loudly, open and
close its front feet in a lazy manner as
if it were yawning, hut at each purr
you are jabbed with a curved claw. Of
course you cannot stand for being per
forate.) by a purring cat. and you im
mediately drop the animal, only to tind
that she "has left enough hair on your
pants to make a mattress.

The Greatest of These is Charity.
ManMflf’li! .Shield,
It has been said that faith may be
lest to sight, hope end in failure, tut
charily extends beyond the grave to
the boundless realms of eternity. In
numerous ways and methods can chari
ty he exemplified. It may consist of
the giving of alms and the extending of
the hospitality of our homes to the
stranger who applies for food and shel
ter. Once upon a time three strangers
applied at the door of a tent for food
ami shelter. They were tired, travel-
stained and foot-sore. There was noth
ing about their personalities to distin
guish them from the ordinary travelers
of those early and oriental days. T his
mattered not, however, to the patriarch
who occupied the tent. He gave them
water to drink. He washed their feet.
He prepared his festal hoard with a
sumptuous repast, and before the feast
was half ended he discovered that he
had entertained three angels in disguise.
So should we be careful whom we turn
away. The stranger who applies at our
doors for food or shelter may not be an
angel in disguise, but the tattered gar
ments which only partially cover his
person, the dust and grime of travel
which conceals his identity, may prove
to be the livery of a good man and a
worthy subject of charity.
But charity does not consist entirely
in the giving of alms; it also consists in
the extending of the hand of love and
sympathy to the man or woman who
may have wandered from the path of
rectitude. It is all right to feed the
hungry and clothe the naked. It is all
right to visifthe homes of the sick and
vouchsafe relief to the habitations of
the distressed. These are human bene
factions and constitute a part of our
duty to our fellow-man, but the hand
that is outstretched to the poor fellow
that Ib down and offers to lead him back
into the better way, is the hand that
dispenses true charity. Food, drink
and raiment will satisfy the physical
needs, hut the aching heart needs sym
pathy. Whenever a man or woman
falls from those standards of morals
which have been erected by the cus
toms and usages of society, it is the
tendency of the world to shove the err
ing ones down the hillside and make it
almost impossible for them, through
their own resources and initiative, to
retrieve themselves. The spirit of true
charity is to restore the fallen ones to
their feet again and lead them hack to
the top of the hill, whore the light
shines and the way is clear.
And thus we have dealt with two of
tlie human virtues, friendship and
brotherly love, and the three graces,
faith, hope and charity. These graces
and virtues ate the essential attributes
which men and women must possess if
they would fulfill the ideals which have
been established since the creation of
the race. They are the leaven that
leaveneth the whole loaf of human hap
piness, and the man or woman who is
blessed with all of them is bound to
scatter a whole lot of sunbeams in the
world, and his or her good deeds will
endure as precious, hallowed memories
long after the possessors of virtues and
graces shall laive crossed the "siknt
river."
Go to Church.
Go to church.
It will make your wife feel so happy.
It pleases a man when his wife goes
to church. If it makes him feel good
to see his wife go to church, it surely
will make his wife feel het/er still to
see him go to church. Next to your
old mother, who perhaps is dead and
gone, the best friend you have ever
had is that brave little wife of yours.
Remember the lime you went wrong?
If ever you needed a friend it was then.
How quick she was to forgive! When,
through your blunder, your money took
wings she fixed lip her old hat and
made over her old dress, although tears
started to her eyes when neighbors
glanced significantly at her worked over
costume.
When you were sick she cooked little
dainties, sat and read to you, quoted
bits of scripture and stroked your hot
temples. To-night, while you are
asleep, she will be up with the children.
Get out those old love letters and read
the spirit of them. Fragrant as laven
der. To-morrow morning, when the
stove goes wrong and a harassed face
glances across the table, be a lover
once more. Praise the breakfast. Kiss
her goodbye at the door. See her
smile through the tears. 'She’ll sing
all day long. Perhaps a year from
now you would give all you have in the
world to take hold of her hand, tell her
you love her and call her your old
sweetheart. But, too late! She may be
gone forever.
Make your wife happy by going to
church next Sunday. Go to church
with her if possible, but go to church
if you have to go alone. It is in the
house of God that you'll tind consola
tion. It is there that you'll be instilled
with courage to fight the buttles of
life.
Make your wife feel happy.
Be happy yourself.
Go to church.

Rees F’rather In LaGrnmrn Reporter.
The writer, together with his wife
and Mrs. John Upchurch, (our daugh
ter,! on last Sunday viBitcd the home
of Judge J. B. Ware, in Heard county.
On Mr. Ware’s farm is the scene where
Cupid did his work for ur nearly forty
years ago. It is the scene where we
spent the first years of our married
life. It is where Mrs. Upchurch spent
her babyhood davs. This is the scene
where we, as a poor boy and an orphan
girl, made our start in life. It was at
this time we learned to love our esti
mable friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ware
How natural that we should love this
place! How sweet were the memories
of the long ago as we viewed the same
old dwelling and harn, and the same
yard where the boys of the neighbor
hood would gather and play marbles,
and as we visited the old spring where
we used to drink of its refreshing wa
ters after our day’s labor was over. It
carried us back to the days i f youth
when our lives were full of hope and
our hearts full of love. What sweet
memories!
We left Hogansville about 8 a. m.
and soon reached the home of Judge
Ware, where we found him awaiting us
with a welcome that only emanates
from a true and tried friend. Mr. ar.d
Mrs. Ware are quite feeble, (both up in
the eighties,) but with the assistance
of their estimable daughter, Miss Pos,
we were royally entertained, and when
the noon hour came we were led into
the same old dining-room where we
UBed to eat so many “goodies” in the
long ago, and there once more satisfied
our appetite with more of the "good
ies." The afternoon hours were spent
in enjoying reminiscences of the past.
When the parting hour came these old
people embraced us and said, "How we
love you," as though we were their
own children.
Of all the doctors and lawyers and
preachers that Heard county has raised,
no one has been of more use in building
up his county, his neighborhood, his
church, his school, and in building up
the morals of his community by pre
cept and example, than J. B. Ware. He
has been a man of good influence in his
county, his church, his community and
his home. There are few men who can
equal him in a long, useful life, and the
time will come when his children’s chil
dren und neighbors’ children will "rise
up and call him blessed.” After many
generations have come and gone and his
body sleeps, Judge J. B. Ware will
still be living.
E. G. Hudson’s Statement.
E. G. Hudson, Chamblee, tia., writes:
"East year I bought and tried Foley’s
Cathartic Tablets. I have tried many
cathartics, but for a thorough cleans
ing movement of the bowels, without
the slightest inconvenience or sickness,
1 believe the Foley Cathartic Tablet the
best on earth. It’s the perfect cathar
tic, with no bad effects.” Everybody
suffers occasionally from indigestion sr
constipation, so Mr. Hudson’s experi
ence is worth remembering. Stout per
sons sa.y these tablets relieve that
"heavy" feeling. J. F. I,ee Drug Co.
As we passed along the street on a
recent Sunday we counted twenty-
seven young men, most of them in their
teens, just budding into manhood, loi
tering their time away. As we looked
into their faces, many of them lighted
up by the rays of a poor cigar or the
pernicious cigarette, wo recognized
them as young men blessed with com
fortable homes, indulgent parents and
loving sisters. We asked ourselves
why it is? Why do these young men
prefer the unclean resorts, comfortless
streets and mixed society to the up
holstered chair, the pleasant and com
fortable surroundings of the family
circle at home?
Smith and Jones stood gossiping on a
street corner. A young lady passed by.
Smith made a pert remark, and both
men laughed uproariously. A few min
utes later another lady tripped along
and Jones let loose a few untidy com
ments. And then the fight commenced,
for the second lady was Smith’s sister.

but God saw fit to call him higher.
Dear sister and children, weep not; he
is "not lost, but gone before!” Jesus
said, "I am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in Me, though he
be dead, yet shall he live." He was a
kind and loving father and a devoted
husband. He always had a smile and a
kind word for all. These kind greetings
will be missed by us all. Dear sister, I
know there is a vacant chair in your
home that can never be filled, but his
troubles are now over and he is out of
misery. There was not a night but he
did not get down on his knees and thank
God for the blessings bestowed on him
and his family.
He united with the Prresbyterian
church at Palmetto when quite a young
man. He leaves a wife and nine children
to mourn his death, besides a host of

Cordele and Ocilla have ordinances
against colored cooks carrying pans or
packages of any kind away from the
homes of their employers without the
written consent of the latter. This is a
good law and should be put into force
in Dublin. This practice of carrying
large quantities of cooked food from
the homes of their employers by the
colored cooks of Dublin is a prolific
source of idleness on the part of negro
men. As long as these loafers can be
assured of three good meals each day
from the tables of the white people
they are encouraged to loaf and refuse
to work. —Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
