In addressing a meeting of bank ers and other business men a short while ago Secretary Gage spoke on tjja necessity of a reform in oar banking system and remarked that while it is : immense it had not kept up with the progress of the age nor met the demands of the country. The banks might be well managed by able financiers, and individually they might be all that might be de sired, still there was lack of co-operation that made the' system as a system to meet the full requirements radically defective. All may not agree with him on the measures of ' reform he suggests, but all who have given our monetary system any thought will agree with him that there is much room for improve ment. He drew somewhat of a contrast between the progress made by our manufactories, our railroads and other industrial enterprises in avail ing themselves of the most effective methods of economical production and working, and to this attributed in a great measure the immense in dustrial strides this country has made in the past couple decades, and yet the banks are the money suppliers for this industrial system. But there is another industrial system of even more importance than the banks, one which might be called the basis of all' the other industries, upon the prosperity of which the prosperity of the others and of the banks depends, and yet there is less method, .less system and co-operation in it than in any of the others, a system without a system, in which every one pulls and plans for himself regardless of what the others are doing. This is a great manufacturing country, it is a great commercial country, but it is a greater agricultural country, with more capital invested than in any of the others, and yet at the end of the year they have, as a rule, less to show.for their labor and invested capital than any of the others with .the same investment. While this is not altogether, it is largely the result of lack of sys tem and the following of mistaken ideas and defective methods. There is no man engaged in any industry who takes so many chances and whose returns depend so much on chance. When we say chance we mean that not knowing the acreage of any crop planted in the world or in his own country he takes his chances on a crop that may be larger than the demand, and conse quently takes his chances on the prices it will bring. He takes chances on the seasons, floods, droughts, frosts, injects, storms, etc., some of which he may have to contend against in any season. To be prepared for them and able to stand them without being seri ously embarrassed requires both good judgment qnd thrift, good judgment to plant judiciously and keep out of debt to retain inde pendence, and the thrift to provide so as not to have to call on others for the things necessary to support the home. The farmer who shows this judg. ment and this thrift can and should be one of the most independ ent and contented men in the world. But this the average farmer, North or South, never will be while he makes the pursuit of money his main object. Of course he will want to make money; he should, and therefore he will work industriously and raise, if he be wise, the crops that will return him the most for his labor. But to make money should not be his first aim; that should be, while not overlooked, secondary. The main idea should be to make the farm a home beyond the reach of any one else, where comforts are, where there is peace, contentment, and no regrets over yesterday or wor rying over to-morrow. She average farmer is too apt to find fault with his calling and think his lot a hard one, and yet he is incomparably better off than mil lions of his countrymen, who- toil for others, and whose fate is dependent in a giet measure on the successor failure of their employers and on the judgment those employers exercise in the management of their business. In the labor 'world there is always unrest, for there is more or less of a struggle going on between capital and labor. Labor feels as if capital was im posing upon it and capital feels as if it was not getting out of labor all it is entitled to, hence friction that so often, culminates in diagreement and in strikes, in which both lose and the workman sometimes suffers much, because being so dependent upon his daily labor -he cannot stand idleness long without suffer ing, especially if he has a family dependent upon him. y The prices of farm products may go down until there is little profit in them for the farmer, but what farmer who is not shackled with debt would exchange places with : the toiler on a strike, or with any toiler uay be employed one day And, idle the next or who may re ceive one wage rate one day and a week later gnffer a material re duction m wages, although at' the Same time the expense of living may be materially increased ? Tho only hope for the wage earner is that bv economv and thrift and steady employment, he may be able to save money enough to go into business for himself some day and thus not be dependent upon the fortunes of the caprices of others. . He hopes to get just where the farmer is, in a position where he may be his own master, and be in dependent; the maker and the ex ecutor of his own plans and ac countable to no one for the hours he labors or the hours he rests. Life on the farm ought to be an ideal life and it would be if it were rightly viewed and rightly followed. It could be made an ideal life, if the farmer made that his aim and knew how to do it, but it can never be an ideal life unless there is thorough independence, and such methods as make that independence possible, and unless the pursuit of money be made subordinate to the pursuit of comfort and content. The farmer who drudges to make money is not a farmer, he is simply pursuing the avocation of a self-condemned serf. FIGURES THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES There hasn't been' a time within two years when this State was en tirely free from smallpox, while in gome bordering and other States it has prevailed widely and proved very fatal. There is in this State, as there is in others, much prejudice against vaccination, much opposi tion to vaccination ordinances passed by municipal and other authorities, and in some towns the opposition has been so stubborn that the authorities found it necessary to en force the ordinances, after the courts had sustained them in the right to require vaccination. In view of this prejudice, and of these facts, the following which we clip from the New Orleans Times-Democrat, show ing the value of vaccination, will be interesting and instinctive. It says: "The British Medical Journal, than which there ia no more reliable news- m An Daner. in its issue 01 noTemoer o. illustrates the value of vaccination by statistics of smallpox mortality drawn from the records of various countries. "Germany as we need scarcely tell our readers, is the country in which the mortality rrom smallpox is toe lowest in tne world. For example, in 1899 there were but twenty-eight deaths from that disease in its popula tion of fifty-four millions, the rate per million being .52. And light as this rate was, it was very much heav ier than had been for a perlord of years. In 1898 the rate was .28 per million, 10 1897 it was .ua per million, and in 1896, .19! "Almost all of the twenty-eight deaths in 1899 were close on the Rus sian border or on the Austrian border, neither Bussia nor Austria having compulsory vaccination. "No death occurred in any Herman city of 50,000 population; and only lour deatba occurred in tne 2R Her man towns with a population of six teen millions the rate per million in the towns being .3. This is the most extraordinary showing for low mor tality from smallpox, ever since small pox was admitted to the catalogue of diseases. The comparison which the British Medical Journal goes-on to make be tween the mortality from smallpox in the towns of Germany and in those of Austria, Belgium, Great Britain and France, where there is no compulsory vaccination, is positively startling. In 68 Austrian towns, with a popu lation of nearly four millions, the smallpox deaths in 1899 were 77, giv ing a death-rate of 20.0 per million. In 72 Belgium towns, with a popu lation of 2,414.000, the deaths from smallpox in 1899 were 126, and the death-rate 53.2. In 33 British towns with a popula tion of 11,404,000. the deaths from smallpox in 1899 were 145, and the death-rate 12.7. In 116 French towns, with a popu lation of 8,668.000, the deaths from smallpox in 1899 were 600, and the rate per million 69.2. Let us arrange these death-rates from smallpox in the year 1899 in a table that we may the more easily compare them: SMALLPOX MORTALITY VSt 1899. Death rate per million Countries of town population. Germany 52 Great Britain 12.7 Austria 20.0 Belgium 52.3 France 69.2 . "Now, many people may be dis posed to consider the compulsory vac cination law of Germany, oppressive; but when it produces such results as that shown in the table, ample ex cuse will most probably be pleaded for it Nor is it intolerably oppressive after all, for it merely requires child ren to be vaccinated in the second year of their life, and to be revacci nated during school age. But it is compulsory; no excuse lor non-vaccination is allowed by the authorities. "Germany's almost total immunity from death by smallpox is the finest testimonial that any prophylactic remedy against a disease has ever had." Germany does this thing wisely. She does not wait for an invasion of smallpox and then rush off and pass laws requiring every one who has not been vaccinated to be vacoi nated forthwith, but takes time by. the forelock, sees that the vaccina tion is done and done in time before there is any scare, and as a result they have no smallpox scares and no epidemics in that country and very few deaths, and these nearly all on the border where there was a con siderable mingling of people from countries where there is no com pulsory vaccination. According to the original pro gramme Admiral Dewey with the Olympia was to be sent to England to represent his Government at the coronation of King Edward, but that verdict made him a persona nn grata in the navy department and some one else will be delegated to conduct our part of the show. For Whooping Cough USe UHiSNlSY'S r, For sala by Hardin's Palaoe FharmacyJ NEW METHOD OF TREATING COTTON SEED. - These are days of new" discoveries and inventions, which save time, labor and expense, and thus benefit the country and the world. The latest is a new invention for treating cotton seed, used in the oil mills, which promises to revolutionize that industry, concerning whicfe we clip the following from the Augusta Chronicle: "Bv the process now employed it is stated that the cotton seed pass through six mechanical processes; (1 a maohinA Inr elennlnr seed of sand (2) machine for removing bolls, pieces nf wood. etc. : (5) magnetic maouioo for removing iron, nails, eta ; (4) dfilintini? machine: (5) hulling n Rhine; ffil reel f or separating mats from the hulls. "Instead of these six machines the new process simply dumps the seeds, just as they come rrom the gin, into i vat containing chemicals, and ii (nntt minutM it ia claimed the hul nnnnnnn and th a denuded kernels fall to the bottom of the vat while the hulls float on the top or the solution, Tf the kernel are to be shipped a dis tAnA tn an oil mill they are dried flrat. but if this first process is at the oil mill then the kernels are passed immediately from the vat to the crushing rolls and it is claimed there is a saving of 50 per cent in the cost of producing crude oil. The refining process is no more expensive, and it is claimed that the finest olive oil on the market can be duplicated rrom tne product. "A nnthar oreat savin? is in the ship ment nf the denuded seed to cotton nil mills. The welch t is reduced one half and the bulk two-thirds. The hulls that riae to the ton of the vat are in ahara for Daner stock and worth from 20 to $40 per ten, showing a gain of from $9 to $18 over present practices tt treating cotton seed to the noint of cooking the meal for extracting the ou. .

The saving under this process will nermit the payment of several dollars a ton more to the farmers for rnitnn ared and it is claimed bv the nwnera of the new process that means a revolution in the business and millinna of dollars to the cotton farmera nf the South. It la DrODOSed to organize and work it independent of the trust and Standard Oil Uom- nanv and five the farmers a chance to enjoy the pronts. Thev are inventing all sorts of eating and drinking decoctions these days. The latest is an invention of a doctor in Sweden, by which he converts milk into flour, which may be put up in cans, barrels of sacks, and shipped like other flour. It has fine keeping qualities, too. It can readily be dissolved in water, and can then be used for all the pur poses for wheih milk is used. It costs about four cents a quart to re duce the milk to flour, which can be sold at about thirteen cents a pound. CURRENT COMMENT. A casual observation of the "trusts ' indicates that some raise wages and reduce tne cost to con Burners while others reduce the pay roll and put up the cost. From this it might be inferred that there are good trusts and bad trusts. Wash' ington Star, Rep. During the last year we spent eighty-live millions in sup porting an army in the Philippines and the profit on American goods sold over there amounts to a frac tion under $1,000,000. Expansion comes high, but it looks like our protected industries must have it. Atlanta Journal, Dem The United States Steel Cor poration will admit three hundred heads of departments to its organi zation, it is said, upon a profit-shar ing basis, and allow them to invest in its securities. This is a good idea for the popularization of the corpora' tion. We trust the great company will stick to it. Richmond inspatch, Dem. Open fires are now burned in every room of the White House. In some of the rooms coal is used and in others logs of wood. The Washington correspondent of the New York Sun says: the White House an "This gives air of real Southern life." Whenever the com forts of a home are wanted the resi dent seeks to give nis house "an air of real Southern life." Savan nah News, Dem. Senator Allison . says that ex Governor Shaw, of Iowa, who, ac cording to the latest accounts from Washington, is going to succeed Secretary Gage, would make a very good Republican candidate for the Presidency. As Secretary oz the Treasury he will be brought fully into public view and be enabled to lustify the favorable opinion of the Senator. At the rate at which President Roosevelt is cultivating enemies it is probable, that there will soon be a large crop of candi dates for 1904 in both party fields. Philadelphia Record, Dem.

"Some years ago," said the narrator, "an oil boom hit Litchfield, Ills., and everybody for miles around was seen sniffing for oil-and every atrangec sus pected of being an expert looking for a good thing.' An old farmer named TJpo- mls had a big place three miles out of town, which would have been a fortune for him had he not been possessed of a mania for swapping, manifest In a per ennial attempt to trade off his land for twice its value. "When the boom was at the top notch. Loomis received a visitor who took so much Interest in the farm, so liked its appearance, location, etc., that the old farmer scented a petroleum man and saw visions of Incalculable wealth; but, being a shrewd man, Loomis did not care to take any unnecessary chances with Providence, and on the quiet he sent tbe hired man out the back way with orders to dump the ker osene can Into the welL The visitor liked the entire place, Inspected the barn, the chicken yard and then, as if by chance, asked for a drink of water. .Loomis was waiting for that and hauled up a brimming bucket before the man's own eyes and poured htm out a gourdful of liquid with a fine, opa lescent scum upon It. The visitor smell ed the staff, tasted It, made a wry face and asked if the water was always like that 'Oh, yes,' said Loomis, but you soon get accustomed to the taste, and our doctor says this Is the finest water on earth for the stomach.' WelL I am ding danged If 111 ever get used to It was the unexpected response. 1 am looking for a farm, not an oil welL and If I have got to haul my drinking water three miles from Litchfield r guess I'd rather buy nearer town.'

The opening figures were the top for the day, however, for big receipts at the ports started liquid ation soon after the call and for the rest of the session long cotton came out steadily. Point after point prices gave way under this pressure, at the lowest touching 8 04 for January. 8.16 for March and 8.22 for May. There were slight reactions from time to time on profit taking by scalpers and buying for a turn; but the general course of the market was downward. Liarge estimates tor to-morrow's re ceipts and big in sight movement for the week discouraged enthusiastic support Commission houses had very lew buying orders, out were quite free sellers throughout the de cline. What appeared to be short sel ling for a Wall street operator, once a market leader in cotton, was a feature of afternoon business. Selling orders came in from the South while spinners refused to buy contraets. A bear;factor. or no small importance was the issu ance of 35,000 to 45,000 January notices Investors who had bought from the houses which tendered ibis cotton were naturally not in a p.jsition to receive it, and hurriedly sold out in the ring. This led to a relatively weaker ruling of January than the rest of the list from opening to clos ing. Predictions tor a movement in January in excess of last January and favorable weather conditions South for moving the crop bad some effect. ooumern poi maraets reported a smaller demand and more disposition oh the part of holders to sell, though prices remained unchanged from tne figures current yesterday. Just before the close scalping shorts scrambled for pronts in fear of higher cables from Liverpool to-morrow. This buying advanced prices sharply and closed the market steady, with the net loss reduced to three and eight points. Nkw York, Dec 27.
