He had one hand laid over the other

with its stock. In this way he
succeeded in firing the gun, the
load shooting away three fingers of
the left hand, leaving the fourth

Danger Ahead for Cotton Planters.
President Ilarvie Jordan, of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Associa¬
tion, passed through Macon last
night and was interviewed by a re¬
porter ol the Macon Telegraph. The
first prrt of the talk had reference
to wheat, and oats, and then Mr. j
Jordan sounded a note of warning |
to the cotton planters, lie is quoted
as saying:
“But a great danger confronts us
for the next ninety days,” said Mr.
Jordan. “We are plunging head¬
most into ruin, if we don’t watch
out. 1 find that large numbers ol
mules are being sold all over the
state, and every man, . no matter
whether he has a penny, whether he
has integrity or anything else, can
get a mule costing A175. The mule
dealers are doing much to encourage
a big cotton acreage. For instance
they sell a mule on credit, the note
payable April 1st. A condition is
embodied in the note, providing that
a mortgage shall bo given on April
1st, which will cancel the note,
the mortgage not only to cover
the mule but twenty 'acres of
cotton. This of course will mean
the largest possible cotton acreage
among the very class of farmers who
will rush the crop on the market—
the class that can never hold for
better prices.
“If the labor is so scarce that the
big plantations in Mississippi and
and Texas, as well as in our section,
cannot get enough, to increase their
cotton acreages, wo may not be as
bad off as the mule-selling system
would indicate. The selling of mules
on this basis is itself a demoralizer
of labor, and will reduce the force
of hands on many plantations.
“I have written to heads of agri¬
cultural departments throughout the
South, urging them to join me in
personal appeal to the farmers not
to overlook the danger that eon
fronts 11s, and to abstain from plant
ing an increased cotton acreage, and
1 have heard from nearly all of thorn,
Each promises to assist me. We
want 10 kee l J before the fann¬
ers always that supply and demand
"’ill do more than anything else to
control the prices, and they cannot
j afford to create too much supply.
i “One thing will work in our fa¬
1 next fall,” said Mr. Jordan iu
ivor
!conclusion. ! “We have Texas iu
•our line. She was not with us this
season in our light for higher prices.
The farmers out there were not or
ganized, and while we were holding s
for higher ... . the , _ Texas farmers
prices
were supplying , . the demands of the
mills of New England and England.
We had to sit by and see this work
go on until all of the Texas crop
was exhausted,and not until then did
the thin g commence to turn our

Reflections of a Bachelor
There never was a real fat woman
and a real thin woman who loved
each other.
Women go by opposites,
generally the one that’s hardest to
marry off that has twins.
The only thing that makes more
noise than two women at, a reeep
tion is three at a pink tea.
Every woman has an idea that if
it . wasn , t for , 1 her, 1 her husband 1 1 i
•
wouldn’t have any kind of social
standing in the town.
No woman is satisfied with a man
unless he can get up some fuss or
something that will make it seem
romantic when she does marry liim.
When a man first kisses a girl,
she tries to look indignant and he
tries to look reproachful as if she
oughtn’t lo have made him forget
himself.
Some women would cry if you
only patted them on the shoulder
blade.
Women keep their husbands in
society as much as anything by
making them admire each others’
babies.
Probably Eve never knew that
she was so unhappy so much of the
time because she hadn’t, any neigh¬
bors to talk about.
To be a success with the men a
woman has got to put in a lot more
time taking care of her hair than
she does taking care of her brains.
Most men drink to their wives’
health about as often as they “take
castor oil.
A woman stays afraid of a mouse
only as long as she is afraid of a
man.
Probably if her'husband eloped
with her hired girl the average wo¬
man wouldn’t be as mortified as she 1
would be if he drank tea out of his ;
saucer when they had company to i
supper.
A woman’s letter always contains
four things she has heard for every
one she knows.
The angels proabaly blush when
they see two women that hate each
other aud know it kiss when they |
meet where nobody else can see
them.
You can always tell an old bach- j
elor and a married man apart by the
way they hold a baby. The old I
bachelor keeps his arm outside the
clothes.-—New York Express.
A prominent Chicago woman speaks
Prof. Boxa Tyler, of Chicago,
Vice-President Illinois Woman’s al¬
liance, in speaking about Chamber-j
Cough Remedy says: “I suf¬
fered with a severe cold this winter
which threatened to run into pneu¬
monia. .1 tried different remedies
but I seemed to grow worse and the
medicine advised u P 8et m - v s | maoh Chamberlain’s - A fri « nJ
me to try

pleasant to take and it relieved me
