Cotton Prices Discussed.
Contrary to the expressed ex-
pectations of the republican par-
ty, the price of cotton failed to
drop to 6c. In fact, like the old
lady’s bread, it “kinder riz.”
This is not to be wondered at,
considering the fact that the price
of cotton, like that of everything
else, is regulated by the law of
supply and demand, and a Presi-
dential election has about as
much to do with it as a snowslide
in Alaska. The hired campaign
liar did not have his usual luck.
—Morris County News.
The cotton quotations respond
ed to the ginners’ report, not the
election returns. The spinners
have got to have enough cotton
to keep their wheels turning or
their wheels will cease to turn. It
is not a question of who is Presi-
dent, but of how much cotton
there is from which to supply
their needs. No matter who oc
cupies tjie White House, all the
people, both plain and fancy,
have got to wear clothes, and
cotton clothes are now in univer-
sal demand. It may be that the
price of cotton will be lower next
year than it is this year, but it
will not be because a democrat is
president. It was lower last year
than it is this year, but not be
cause a republican was president.
The.way for the farmers to play
safe is to make cotton their serv
ant rather than their master.
Still, it is up to the farmers to do
as they please about it. Advice
is about all that any of us get
without using head work.—Dal

The Cattle Tick.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 6.—Com
plete details of the life ■ story of
the destructive cattle tick will be
depicted in moving picture films
at the Fifth National Corn Expo
sition here next month. Uncle
Sam will conduct a moving pic-
ture show at the exposition, as
one of the numerous features of
the elaborate government exhibit
and one entire reel will be de-
voted to a close, detailed study
of the life and habits of this ex-
pensive pest, its rapacious meth-
ods of obtaining a living, and the
most effective methods of eradi-
cating it.
The cattle tick film has recent-
ly been completed, after two
years of research in obtaining
pictures. It has been given a
preliminary try-out before Sec-
retary Wilson and other officials
of the department, but its first
public appearance will be reserv-
ed for the Fifth National Corn
Exposition, which opens January
27th. This reel is highly in-
structive, and will especially in-
terest the cattle owners of the
South, who are estimated to lose
annually from $50,000,000 to
$100,000,000 through the cattLe
tick alone. Magnified many
times, the ticks in all stages of
growth will crawl upon the screen
before the audience.
This reel is supplementary to
the cattle dipping vat—another
instructive feature of the depart-
ment exhibit, at which will be
actually demonstrated this most
certain, effective and permanent
method of eradicating the cattle
tick.
City Building Notes.
(Commercial Secretaries Association)
Life is not a funny proposition
after all—to the pessimist.
It’s the man that smiles that
really sees the serious side of life.
Successful business depends on
the co-operation of the entire
force.
Sometimes a small clog in the
wheel of progress will delay de-
velopment.
It’s a long way back to the day
when a business could succeed
without advertising.
A commercial organization is a
collection of different ideas merg-
ed into definite action.
Communities are sometimes
blamed for deeds that exist only
in the mind'of the individual.
Get-together meetings will
sometimes prove to you that the
other fellow is not half so bad as
you thought he was.
Promoting prosperity is usual-
ly a lonesome task at first but in
time the spirit will spread until
the entire community is taking
an active part in development
work.
Promotion of one thing alone is
apt [to weaken your remaining
resources and cause a breakdown
at a critical moment/ Develop-
ment all along the line is neces-
sary *to a successful growth.
A commercial club should at
all times be at the services of the
entire coriamunity; it should
never lend assistance to private
parties if by so doing the citizens
as a whole are injured. In other
words, a commercial club is the
voice of all the people, and should
ever give its efforts to general
development.
School of Good Manners.
Los Angeles, Cal,, has taken
steps to provide a course in good
manners for its normal school.
Those who are to instruct the
young in the public schools of
that city henceforth are them-
selves to be taught along lines
that have heretofore been deemed
unnecessary in most American
communities. The course is
made compulsory, and the aspir-
ant for a position in the teaching
corps must be up to the standard
in manners, as well as in mathe-
matics and other essentials, be-
fore a certificate will be granted.
Whether the criticism so fre-
quently directed is or is not well-
founded, it is a healthful sign
that it has been, generally speak
ing, good-naturedly received; a
still more wholesome evidence of
the disposition of the Nation is to
be found in its willingness .to
learn of those who are more ad-
vanced in any particular where-
in it is deficient and in what way
it may best improve itself..
Much that is accounted by
strangers crude, or coarse, or
unmannerly in the United States
or for that matter in any other
country, is only apparently so.
Customs and manners vary with
the crossing of every political
boundary. That which seems
lacking in warmth, in hospitality,
in courtesy to the new arrival,
very often appeals pleasingly to
the visitor after acclimatization.
One of the severest critics the
United States has ever had,
Charles Dickens, was moved, aft-
er a tirade against the country in
general, to acknowledge that in
no part of the world, so far as he
was cognizant, were men as cour-
teous to women as in the United
States. Later, when he had seen
and learned more of the country
and its people, he made generous
amends for all his fault-finding
by saying that not even in his
own land could he have been
treated with greater delicacy,
consideration or hospitality.
Cause for criticism on the
point of manners may be found
in any country among individu-
als. The people of the United
States as a whole are as well-
mannered as any other people,
if true manners are expressed in
social gentleness, kin[d ness,
heartiness, solicitude for anoth-
er’s comfort, regard for another’s
welfare. Courtesy, here and
elsewhere, however, is too fre-
quently lost sight of by the ill-
bred, self-centered and careless
individual, as well as by the
headstrong, indifferent and self-
ish crowd. In recent years we
have had striking evidences of
the fact that the higher human
virtues, like gallantry and hero-
ism, any more than vices like
cowardice and brutality, are not
National nor racial.
It holds good, nevertheless,
that the United States has much
to learn in the amenities, in po-
liteness, in ordinary manners
and that the move just made in
Los Angeles is a proper one.
The American public school
teacher can scarcely be referred
to except to be extolled; but if
she has her faults, they are hone
the less deplorable sometimes
because they are trivial. Let us
hope that the Los Angeles nor-
mal school course in good man-
ners may prove corrective and
that its work may be worthy
of emulation throughout the
country.'—Christian Science
Monitor.
GREAT MEN OF SCIENCE.
In recording the death of Francis
Galton somewhat less than a year
ago, it was noted here that of tho
great men of science who gave dis-
tinction to the Victorian era only
three remained—Hooker, Wallace
and Lister. Hooker has since died
at the age of ninety-four years, and
on February 11 Lister died at the
age of eighty-four years. An Eng-
lish journal recently compiled a list
of the ten greatest men of the world,
and Lister would perhaps have been
the'name on which there would have
been the most general agreement
Like Galton and Hooker, Lister had
distinguished scientific ancestry, his
father havi) g been a fellow of the
Royal society, who, among many
other services, gave us the existing
compound microscope. — Populai

FELT BAD
ALL THE TIME
Shellhorn Lady Suffered a Greal
Deal, But Is Ai! Right Now.
Shellhorn, Ala.—In a letter from this
place, Mr's. Carrie May says: “A short
time ago, I commenced to hare weak
spells and headaches. I felt bad all
the time, and soon grew so bad I
couldn’t stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got me a bottle
of Cardui, and it helped me; so he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle, I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, suffering from
womanly trouble, would try Cardui.
It is the best medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything J ever
used.” .
Cardui is a woman’s tonic—a
strengthening^ medicine for women,
made from ingredients that act spe-
cifically on the womanly organs, and
thus help to build up the womanly con-
stitution to glowing good health.
As a remedy for woman’s ills, it has
a successful record of over 50 years.
Your druggist sells it. Please try it.

nooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga; Tenn., for Special
