THE SOUTH SOLID BEHIND COTTON. , Nothin* finer lift* ever happened to fho South than thla Buy-a-Bal* move 'invnt. Th* a«Hd Houth has put Itself back of th* cotton alump and tha c«n- Hcqucnc*) la that cotton cannot be bought now for leaa tliau ten canta a pound. Tha aalf confidence of the South hue spread. It la taking hold In other aac tiona and the bualnaaa aan of the whole tuition are Joining tha band to protect this nation'* graateat product. Mont gomery Ward and Comiamy of Fht cagti are putting half a ntllHon of dol lai'H into bale* of cotton. Armour and t’ompany, aiao of Chicago. are In structing their Southern branches — tl er* are about four hundred In all— 1 to buy a bale of cotton at tan canta a pound. The Atlanta Jurunal comments that "within one short week, cotton has bean transformed front a beggar to a i ondltion approaching Ita kingly state. 'Oils hopeful vantage ground must be bald and extended. What the Huy-a- Httlc campaign has accomplished thus far ts meraly an omen of what It will yet accomplish. If our people stand true, and keep buying bale by bale ” Notwithstanding the pleasure wo take in arcing these enterprising Was tern firms buying bales of cotton, we hope that the Booth Itself will continue to stand solidly back of Ita cotton. We hope to see every little town In the South with an organised campaign for buying a bale It la a good Investment Individually, but a grand Investment In the spirit which inakea a people great and strong It la tha sort of thing out of which mir acles of progress and development are Wrought. THE FREIGHT TAX PROBLEM. We are promised a battle royal In congress over the war tax bill. When ever tiler., are evidences of a deter mined and Impassioned fight In con gress tt Is well to eXßmtne carefully to discover ts special privilege Is In volved. "Cherchei Iji Femme,” l.a femme, with congress, being some par ticular or general grafts. A light with in democratic ranks Is ImmlnenL ft Is claimed by those who favor the three per cent tax on freight trans portation charge# that President Wil son ts prepared to uphold the provis ion. but those who oppose It are ready to stakeali on fhelr knowledge and ex perience of the principles upon which the president works. The objection to the J per cent tax on freight reels simply upon the point that It la a burden that can be pushed along. The consumer will, therefor' be the one upon whom tt 'will bear will* greatest weight and hardship. Whenever a tax is levied which la ans ceptible of being passed along an In* citation la at Ilia same time Issued to impose an extra burden upon the next man who carries It This Is the most hideous feature of the protective tar iff and thla creates th* crying need for correcting the tariff evils. It Is not In accord with the prln- i Clplea of the democratic party to ere ate a war tax that will work on the aame iniquitous principles which th* protective fallacy baa been found to work on. We Cannot believe that the president, who has been ao alert and dear-eight «*d tn guarding general Interests against special Interest*, la likely tn fall In with those who are urging the 3 per cent freight tax A stamp tax Is definite. It be* n* and ends within sight of tb# naked eye and it cannot be used aa an excuse for adding on prices all down th* Hue. The demo- I cratlc party deplore* the necessity for any additional tax, but tbs necessity la at hand The next Question before It Is simply to find a means for iep Isct.tir monev that cannot be turned Into an excuse for Injustice and extor- 1 tlon. Hevolt against the proposed S per : cent tax on freight transportation I grows as tha undersiandlng of its sue feptlbWty to abuse becomes clearer The stamp tax la the best answer) yet offered to the question of how to ! flop the tax burden from hearing j hardest or • fie man least able to atan t j up under tt.

"Come and have supper with me 1 have a splen did fat lieu and a goose.” "The doctor had told me not to eat anything but young lambs," replied Mr Wolf, "but I cannot refuse your charming company, ao 1 will be on bn ml.” Mr, Fox was ao flattered by what Mr Wolf had said that he wished he had a nice lamb for his guest, ao he atole out after dark and went to the nearest farm to try and find a stray lamb. He nearly got caught, but he brought back the lamb, and when Mr. Woll arrived he placed it before him Mr. Wolf at* the lamb and finished the goose before he slopped to speak a word to bla host. "You certainly aet a fin* table,” ho iV £JL wkw •eld at last, "and now If you do not mind I think I will take n nap. for I feel sleepy enough after ao heavy a meal.” Bo saying. ,h# laid himself down In Mr. Fox'* partlclilar corner and went to Bleep, leaving Mr. Fox to finish hl» supper alone. ‘‘He la a greedy fellow," h* said, ><* | he looked at Mr. Wolf sleeping in bis I warm bed; h* ate all the goose, h»- ! sides hts lamb, and I only had the hen. j 1 wonder If he la going to stay all I nightT” Mr Wolf did stay all night #nd he 1 stayed to breakfast the next morning, too, and ate til* last morsel of food that Mr. hV'x had In the hoime "He'll surely go before dinner, thought Mr Fox. but when dinner time cant* Mr. Wolf was still there "What have you got for my dinner?” ho asked. "You ale all I had for your break fast," replied Mr. Fox. "Well, go out and get me eomethlng then." *Hld Mr. Wolf, looking very hard at Mr. Fog. Of conra* he was larger than Mr. Fox and Mr. Fox did not dare dla i Oho At last Sir Wolf had been there Ihiee day*, and bad made Mr KVx hflng him lamb apd plga at the risk j of Mr Fox'# life Mr. kVx began ho use bis wit*, and you know that he is a sly fellow full of Ideas when he needs j them, I know 1 where there la plenty of, meat to be had," said Mr, Fox one! morning "It i* sfored in the cellar! of vw« farmhouse over the hllL but 1 am ao email I can carry but on# piece at a time.

Thla plan soiled Mr. Wolf, aa he had j never had all he wanted to eat at on* time In his life. When they reached the cellar Mr. Wolf fell upon the meat ami ate and INDOOR SPORTS ate, but Mr. Fox kept a sharp lookout that no o, le was coming and he ate very little, "You must hurry and eat all you can," said Mr. Fox, "for aome one may come at any moment and we will have to run." 8o Mr. Wolf went on eating faster than ever. Pretty soon a noise was beard, and Mr. Fox jumped toward the hole through which he entered the collar, and wns soon outside, but Mr. Wolf had eaten so much that he could not Jump up to the hole and he fell, rolling over on Ids back. By this time the farmer and hi* men had come Into the cellar, and soon Mr, Wolf was no more. "That has taught me a lesson I will not soon forget," said Mr. Fox, on the way home.

(By Virginia Vale). Once upon a time there was a deer and a young fawn. A fawn is a baby deer and needs a great deal of care from its mother deer. They had been caught in the woods and brought to u nice home ln a green field. The field had a high hedge all around it and several large trees for shade so that It made them a nice safe home. They had plenty of water and all kinds of nice things given them to eat. Mother deer was very glad to live here but the little fawn was always wanting to see what was on the other side of the hedge and told her mother that some day she was going to jump over and go away. Her mother said: "If you go out side you will find everything very different, for there are lots of things that look goot to eat, but will make you sick if you eat them “Hogs and men will chase you and harm-you if they catch you for they think you are a wild and not a tame deer." "1 don’t care, I can take care of myself.” said the little fawn. The next morning while the deer was getting ready to take her bath in the pond the little fawn found a weak place In the hedge and jumped through out into the road. She ran along ns happy as could be until out from a yard ran a big dog barking and running toward her. Poor fawn how faet her little heart beat and how she ran to get away. She ran toward the wood and hid behind a bush. The leaves were green and tender and as she was tired and hungry she began to nibble at them. Oh, how nice they were. She had never eaten anything that tasted ao good and she ate until all at once she began to feel sick and wished her mother was thers. She began to think that the world waa not a very nice place and guess ed she would walk back to her home. As she started she remembered the You Can’t Drive Pros perity Away! may hesitate, industry putter, croakers croak. But the tide of Amer ican prosperity that is rising each hour will sweep them all off their feet. Europe has laid the world’s industries in America's lap. The sooner our manufactur ers. capitalists, merchants and workers wake up —the better. We can’t stop demand if we try —but if we don’t get busy and produce we will delay wme of our profits. This is the Time to Get to Work By Tad dog that had chased her. What should she do, for she couldn’t rutvshe was so sick. Just then she heard the dog bark and as she looked out from the bush she saw her mother running toward the dog with her head down. When the dog saw she was not afraid he ran toward the house and the foolish fawn ran out to meet her mother. When her mother saw who it was she stood still until she came up to her and then she began to scold as hard as she could. The little fawn told her she was sick and ready to go home and never wanted to go away again if she would forgive her. So they trotted away to gether toward their home. 25,000 BALES AT TEN CENTS Columbia—That a St. Louis whole sale shoe firm will purchase 1,000 bales of cotton at ten cents from the producers was stated in a telegram received today by a representative of the firm here.
