The way la being made for the marketing of the Booth's cotton, gradually and slowly, as the crop ought to be marketed and nt constantly advancing prices. New ways are being devised by the South to use up the crop, and now the slogan is going to be, "No floods Un less Packed In Cotton Cloth." This will serve a double purpose of helidng the mills entl also widening the mar ket for the South's cotton. No more fertiliser unlee ssacked In .'Otton sacke. No more cotton seed meal unlaas sacked In cotton sacks. No more hulls unless Backed In cotton sacks.

There are really days when I regret that 1 aold my carriage. Nothing la more annoying than to he at the mercy of these taxi-drivers, who are never going In your direction, end who cures you because you tip uever comes up to their expectations." While we walked along ho told me that he haa been forced to give up his auto which he used to hire by the month, because It was impossible to get the same car or the same chauf feur even for a week Then he fol lowed up with a very strange and complicated story about his flat being re decorated which had resulted In a quarrel with his landlord, of a new In surance company of which he had been made managing director with a very handsome salary and a ten years contract Ws had now readied Bou levard Hausmann without meeting a single unoccupied taxi.

"Are you not going to tske a taxi'" I asked at last, ss I was about to hall an empty one. Paying no attention to my question, he went on In a rambling way. telling me about American senators and mul ti-millionaires be had met and sev eral of whom he had Invited to a luncheon the next day.

I suggested coldly, without answering hla ques tion "Perhaps I did," he stammered very much perturbed "I aball Inquire to morrow" “But why not tonight T" 1 insisted mercilessly At the light from a street lamp 1 noticed how gnoa’.ty pale he looked The South’s changed condition Is the aiiHwer. Where apathy and apprehen nlon prevailed ten day* ago, we now find an army of workers, men and wom en. liiulvldiif.il* and institution*, buying cotton bale by bale at ten cents a pound with a promise to hold It from the market until normal prices are re stored. The practical effect of this movement Is while its moral effect Is Immeasurable.

"I am sorry,” I said, "but 1 have only thirty-eight francs with me. These tire ut your disposal of course. If that will help you out." I put my hand Into my pocket, but Prevul quickly stopped me "Oh, never mind," he said, "It really does not matter at all.” His voice whs agitated and l felt his hand trembled, when he said good bye. He went away and I decided to follow him. 1 saw hint go back to wards the club, hesltste a moment, outside, but he did not enter, and this strengthened by suspicion. He went on through Hus Grammont and Hue Saint Anne. Then he teurned Into Passage Cioleene, up Avenue da l’Opera through Hue des Pyramldes, across Pont Royal Where the deuce could he be going In tills modest part of the city. At last he stopped outside a dingy looking house In Rue de Nereutl, hes itated a moment and entered. 1 fol lowed him Inside It was a poor ten ement house with dirty badly Illumi nated stairs. On the fifth floor he rung a doorbell and I was surprised to see the door be opened by an old U'hltehwlred woman In a black lace cap who seemed very glod to see him. “Oh. there you are at last, my boy!"

CHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. Prominent Atlanta Banker Tells His Idea of Farmers’ Duty John K.

I understood why ITeval had sold his carriage and given up his hired car months ago. And all his American senators and mllllon iiires were represented by this poor old mother who stroked his liatr as he broke down and sobbed like a child. And he had been putting oi a brave face, playing the part, keeping up this bluff for months al ways hoping to recoup the fortune, and not one of us suspected how things really were with this young fellow who was well liked and popu lar with all of us. and who had only needed to open hla heart to any of us to have been sure of all the assist ance he wanted.

"This the farmer can do for himself. No one else can do it for him. He should act in the matter nt once. His immediate action will result in making a higher level for cotton now and it will make It much easier for him to protect his produce because it will show to the financial world that he has done every thing In his power to meet the situation and solve the problem.
