I returned home from my eastern
and northern tour last Saturday night,
with gratitude to God, arid general
gooda will toward mankiqd, for noth
ing foe ten gratitude rnore in the hu
man heart than to feel "that through
many dangers, toils and snare we
have already come. That it was grace
which brought us thus far, and grace
will take us home." My highest con
ception of heaven is that heaven is an
ideal home.
I am still holding my vast crop, ngt
so much for higher prices, as for a
bulwark against my creditors. I know
I arn safe until I sell. My creditors
meet me with a smile now, tut when I
sell my cotton I am afraid they will
meet ne with a frown. It seems to
me to be a( philosophical proposition
that if a man's cotton won't pay him
out, be had better keep his cotton.
There is nothing like the feeling of
protection, and nothing will beat keep
ing your creditors in a good humor.
I have a neighbor, who has eight bales
of cotton. He and I made a compact
the other day that we would not both
sell on the same day for fear we might
bear the market ' on heavy receipts.
Surely the southern farmer is on top
one time, and he shows it. IIe is not
only independent now, but ha is be
ginning to be a little sassy. They will
tell you they have got corn for sale,
but they will wait for a better price,
when heretofore the corn wm rolling
into town by wagon loads during No
vember and December of each year. I
was talking with some Georgia friends
the other day, who had spent three
weeks In southern Texas. They said
that they had seen fields of cotton a
hundred acres, and the stalks as high
as a man s bead, and not a bale of
cotton in the' hundred acre field this
year. The boll weevil had done the
work. - And they said Texas is all agog
on how to get rid of the boll weevil.
It is said that a man had put a boll
weevil between two blocks of ice, and
kept him there four days and took him
out and let him in the yard in the sun
shine, in a few moments he began lo
wiggle, and life was apparent. In an
hour he was dean gone. They have
tried all remedies. Oue fellow re
ported that he built a big brush fire
over a dozen boll weevils, set she brush
on fire, and as soon as the boll weevils
got red hot they flew out of the fire and
lit on his barn, set it on fire, and
burnt it up. The boll weevil is doing
up the Votton fields of Texas nearly
bad as suits for damages and taxes and
so on are doing up the Atlanta street
railway company. Really the only
way out for that' company seems to be
the method the old Jew suggested,
when he was met down the street by
brother Israelite who said, "Brother
Jacob; did you hear about that opera'
tion on Isaac." "No," he says,
"what operation?" He replied, "He
bad that appendacetio, and they took
him over to the hospital, laid him on
the table, and took his appendics right
away from him, and he is doing well,"
To which the other repliedj i'D.d they
take his appendicff away from him 7
Yee," said the other, "they did."
Well, Isaac was a fool," the other
replied, "for if he had only put this
ppeudica in his wife's name, they
could not have taken it away from him
to save their lives." If I was the
Atlarrta street car company, I would
put the whole business in my wife's
name, then they could not take money
on damages away from them. And it
does look like sometimes railroads and
street cars and every individual who
baa anything will have to put it in bis
wife's name, or they will take it away
from him. I tell you, when a man
has anything and takes out leakage.
and ratage, and stealage and taxes, and
life insurance, and pays for the fool
mistakes which the average fellow
makes, the cash he
has on hand the
first day of January i
vould hardly pay
negro's fine in Judge Briles' court.
But all in all, I believe today, the south
is the most prosperous section of the
whole world. I know of no state or
country where everybody and all classes
are doing so well as thty are in the
south. . Cotton at 134 nd H cents.

The mountain city of Asheville
the beginning aud end of a romance in
real life which is as full of incident and
interest as any theme of a novelist.
Adosen ySars ago Felix Yon Briesen,
a talented young German, went there
to work in carving the stone for the
quaint gargoyles and other ornaments
of George Yanderbilt'a magnificent
chateau at Biltmore. He was born at
Macon, Ga., but no native German has
more sentimentalism,awith a leaning
toward the tenderest love, andso it
happened that when he saw Miss Daisy
Penland it was a case of love at first
tight. .
Marriage quickly followed and for
five ears they lived in Asheviile, Von
Briesen all that time working at the
chateau.
When the latter was completed the
sculptor had to go elsewhere for em.
ployment, and he went to Arizona and
New Mexico, but found no work suf
ficiently permanent to justify him in
sending for his wife, He wrote her
from time to time, sending money, but
the periods between the letters grew
longer and finally the letters ceased en
tirely. His wife spent two years without a
word from bim. Then she secured a
divorce on the ground of desertion.
Two children had been the fruit of the
union, but one, a boy, bad died, leav
ing a little girl with all her mother's
beauty. Mrs. Von Briesen became a
trained nurse and so supported herself
and daughter, seeking no pity and put
ting aside the memory of her husband,
who it was thought by her family and
friends had tired of his love and de
serted her.
One day last October a letter came
from Santa Fe, N. Mei., assuring her
that his love had never failed, but that
failure to secure profitable employment
bad disheartened him and he feared to
write, but sunshine had come by the
death of a relative, who had left bim
$25,000, and he was prepared to take
care of his family.
So startling was this letter that the
wife could hard'y credit it, but replied
'and correspondence was resumed. Von
BrieBen wrote that he would give his
wife and child a large proportion of his
inheritance. The wife wrote him to
lose no time in coming to Asheville
He came a few days ago ' and a com
plete understanding was effected. He
gave hit wife a certificate for a large
sum of money and on Monday of .last
week they were re-married by the pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church" of

Tragic Death of Near Fireman.
Charlotte News, 4th.
As No. 97 was spinning along at the
rate of about 60 miles an hour Satur
day evening, near Danville, Va.,
tragic fatality occurred.
At a small station north of Danville,
No. 97 had orders Jo pass a local pag
senger train. The train that was to be
passed was safely in the sidetrack and
as the signal was given to the crew
No. 97, the train swept by the station
like a meteor.
Just as the engine of the Fast Mail
sped by the engine of the local passen
ger train, the. fireman, a negro man
swung himself out of his window
the engine cab to see the flight of the
flying train. As he did, the cab of No
97 struck him about the shoulders and
dragged bim from his seat. The fire
man's body swung lb rough space and
fell directly beneath the wheels of the
flying train. His body was ground to
pulp and death must have been ins tan
taneous.

Atlanta Journal.
The Manufacturers' Beccvd of Balti
more is asking close questions of its
correspondents over the country in re
gard to the probable or possible price
of cotton in the coming years.
It it con tended that cotton oil mills
are getting so many of the seed tbat in
ferior seed will be used for planting,
thus deteriorating future crops. Those
who have been familiar with cofton
culture for alialf century will see noth
ing dangerous in that argument. Cot
ton oil nrills will buy cotton seed for
the oil, not the germinating quality of
the seed. They sell the oil products,
and sell the hulls at a profit, whether
the seed are fancy or common quality.
But there is a hindrance which will
strike the minds of every observer of la
bor conditions and current events at for
cible and important in results; namely,
the scarcity of field hands and the un
reliability of farm labor in the south,
where the cotton of the United Slates
must be grown, if grown at all. Unless
there is an influx of labor the 'cotton
crop mutt be limited in extent. Thou
sands of acres of tillableJand in Geor
gia lay idle this year for lack of labor.
The able-bodied men who hire their
labor are engaged in other lines of
work They can get a dollar a day in
mines and .railroad work. The poor
whites drift to cotton mill towns to get
employment, and the poor class of
negroes 'flock to towns and cities to
school their children and get odd jobs
from those who have ready money to
pay for labor. Domestic servants are
things of the past in rural districts.
Only those who Jiave children of their
own to work in the crop can be reason
ably sure of getting a cotton crop cul
tivated. Those Who hire wage hands
to work a cotton crop may set it down
tbat they arn in imminent danger of
having a crop on their hands with no
labor, any morning from April to July.
They hold their laborers by a very brit
tie siring, and when guano has been
put in the ground, mules fed and im
plements furnished to mxke a crop,
the man who takes the risk on uncer
tain labor rf ay go to bed in safety, but
his peace of mind will be scanty. As
David Harum remarked.: "When the
other fellow tries to do you be sure you
do him first," and the "do" business
has got down to a science and cotton
farmers are afraid of it. There will be
scarcity of cotton until labor conditions
improve.

COTTfp
The lion. John H. Small, of Wash
ington, North Carolina, member of
Congress from the First District ot that
State, recently wrote a letter to the
Biblical Recorder, of Raleigh, N. C,
in which .he discloses the efforts
that have been made during the past
J several years to better the school en
rollment of Washington, enacted by
the North Carolina legislature of 1903.
Congressman Small refers to that law
in his letter to ttfe Recorder. The let
ter reads as follows:
"You ask for some information as to
the methods pursued in our town in
getting all the children to attend the
public schools. Heretofore our meth
ods have been entirely persuasive and
by personal appeals to parents and
children. Our superintendent and
teachers have been instructed tp make
inquiry of any child not in attendance
and report it to our Board of Trustees.
Then our superintendent goes to see
the parents and children in person, and
if this does not avail, then the Board
takes it in hand through some mem
ber. We have from time to time made
provision for clothes and books for very
poor children.
"Several years ago the percentage of
attendance was very poor as oo in pared
with the enrollment. In order to rem
edy this, each teacher has been in
structed to keep in touch with the par
ents of each child in their respective
grades. If a child is absent more than
one day, the fact is reported to the
superintendent and both the teacher
and the superintendent immediately
make a visit to the home to inquire as
to the reason for absence. By this
means we have endeavored to create a
mutual bond of sympathy and interest
between the teachers of the public
schools on the one side and the parents
and the children on the other. The
result has been an increase, both in en
rollment and in attendance.
"However, we secured the enact
ment by the General Assembly of 1903,
of a compulsory law applicable to this
town, which you can find among the
printed aois. we anticipate some
friction when we come to enforce th
taw, out we snau endeavor in our
actions to be as mild as possible and
will only resort to strong measures after
all other means fail. Very sincerely
yours, John H. Small
Southern Was After Karr.
Charlotte News.
It will be interesting for Charlotte
people to hear that tne Southern Rail
way came very near landing Mr. J. M
Barr, the new president of the Seabou-d
Air Line. It was necessary for the
Seaboard to give Mr. Barr the presi
dency in order to keep the Southern
from getting him. Mr. Barr's contract
with the Seaboard expired sometime
this year and had the presidency not
fallen his way he would have certainly
gone with the Southern.
Mr. Barr will retain his offices in the
headquarters building of the road at
Portsmouth, Va , and will continue to
supervise the general management of
the system. Having been in charge of
the policy of the road for three years
there will not be any material changes.
As vice-president and general manager,
it is said, Mr. Barr's salary was 135,000
a year. As president it is reported tbat
he will get about 150,000.

Mr. Alexander bas always main
tained that the shortness of the crop
has been exaggerated and tbat the high
prices paid for cott'in before the holi

dibp would be experienced in the first
days of the new year. So far, he has
been eminently correct and its remains

Atlanta Constitution.
A protest recetiv made by The
Woman's Home Companion is a spae
mooic, but we may bope, a presaging
sign of a coming revulsion from the
actual high pressure womanism of re
cent years in this country. The Com
panion notes with depreciation the high
aud harsh sounding notes that have
been imparted to the voices of Ameri
can women who eggage in public activi
ties on terms of equality with men. It
says that since women have pitched
theis lives along the higher that is
more open and public levels of life,
they haye also pitched their voices
upon higher and shriller notes.
Here in the south, we are plaeed to
say, the "raucous rasp" is not by any
means common. Yet no man can say
when it may come but God forbid
tbat it shall ever become epidemic with
us. .
One of the greatest charms that the
stranger in our midst discovers in the
representative southern woman is the
soft, mellow and musical use of her
voice. It is a charm in woman that
is most desirable, and which, when
lost, robs her of a posestion more es
timable than almost any man's purse.
And really yiere is no good reason why
a woman, because she is doing what is
usually called "a man's work" should
also acquire, sometimes with a designed
effort, a man's voiot. Business can be
done quite as well in low-keyed and
worn n!y speech as in the brusque and
brazen-sounding tones of a man on a
mowing' machine.

wilf be seen after the first few
doses. There is no doubt about it.
The Powders, acting directly on the
digestive organs, first thoroughly
cleanses the stomach and bowels,
correcting all disorders, and then
good'healthy appetite comes nat

powerful tonic and appetizer on

used horsemen will have no other.
Ashcraffs Powders produce that
silky sheen of coat and hair so
admired by horse fanciers. The

Always high grade and put up
in doses never in bulk.
By the use of three or four doses
a week your horse or mule will
not be subject to colic or any dis

"I hsd an aid horse that was In verr bad

from the first few doses and the animal gained
fifty-two pounds In flesh during the week I

of the powders and he was made almost a new
