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 art of blutling lies in knowing when not to. Biliousness aud Constipation, It is certainly surprising that any wo man will er dure the miserable feelings caused hv biliousness and constipation, w him relief is so easily hud and at so little expers •.

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. Moral—Think more and talk less. It is possible to be patriotic without wanting to go to war to prove it. Known for SO Years As the Best Remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Skin Diseases.

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.
