Now firirla. said Aunt Hetty, put down your embrcidery and worsted work, do no me thins: sensible and I stop building aircastles, and ' talking of lovers and honey moons : it makes me sick, it's perfectly antimonial. Love is a farce matrimony is a humbug, husbands are domestic Napoleons, Neroesi Alexanders, sighing: for other hearts to conquer after they are sure of yours. The ! honey-moon is as short lived as a lucy tier match; after that you may wear your wedding dress at the wash tub. and your night cap to meeting, and your husband wouldn't; know it. You may pick up vour own pocket handkerchief, help your self to a chair, and split your gown across the back reaching over the table to get a piece of butter, while he is laying in his breakfast as if it was the last meal he should eat in theworld ; when he gets through he will aid your digestion, (while you are sipping your first cup of coffee.) by inquiring what you'll have for dinner, whether the c&Id lamb was all ate yesterday ; if the charcoal is all out, and what you gave for the last tea you bought. Then he gets up from the table, lights his cigar with the last evening's paper that you have net had a chance to read ; gives two or three whiffs of smoke, sure to give you a headache (f or the afternoon, just as his coat tail is vanishing through the door, apolo gises for not ;doing ''that errand" for you yesterday thinks it" doubt ful' if he can today "so pressed with business," Hear of him at 11 o'clock, taking ice cream with some ladies at Vinton s while you are at home now lining his coat sleeves. Children by the ears all day, can't get out to take the air, feel crazy as a fly in a drum; husband comes home at night, nods a "how dy'edo. Fan," boxes Charles's ears, stands little Fanny in the corner, sits down in the warmest corner, puts his feet up over grate, shutting out all the7 fire, while the baby s little pugnose grows blue with the cold, reads the newspaper all to himself, solaces his inner man with a . cup of tea and just as you are laboring under the hallucinatin that he will ask you to take a mouthful of fresh air with him, he puts on his dressing gown and begins to reckon the family ex penses, alter wnien ne lies down on the sC, and you keep time with youtfneedle, while, he snores , till 9 o'clock I - Next morning ask . him to leave "a little money," he looks at you as if to be sure that you are in your right mind, draws a sigh long enough to inflate a pair of bellows, and asks you what do you want with it, and if a half dollar won't do." Gracious king!' as if those little shoes, and pettiecoats could be had for a half dollar ! Oh, girls ! set your affection on cats, poodles, parrots, or lap dogs but not matrimony. It's the hard est way on earth of getting a living -you never know when your work is' done up.i Think of carrying eight or nine children through the measles, chicken pox, rash, mumps, and scarlet fever, some of em.' twice over : it makes my headache to think of it. Oh.i you may scrimp, and save, and twist and turn, and dig, and delve, and economize, and die. and your husband will marry again, and take what you have , saved to dress his second . wife with, and she'll take your portrait for i-a fire- board : bat what s the use 01 talk ing? I'll warrant every one of you'll try it, the first .chance you get : there's a sort of bewitchmedt about it. somehow. I wish one-half of the world warn t fools and to'ther half idiots. THE NEW NEWSPAPER UW. Florida Resort Hotels Hit. Charlotte Observer. 'The recent panic has hurt Ctiariotle Cbroaieia... : J, , . We see it stated that Mr. H. B. Varner. editor of the Lexington Dis patch and who is also president of the National Editorial Association, has gone to Washington to see the Postmaster General about ihe new ruling in regard to newspapers and delinquents. As has been mentioned in this paper, dailies, under th new rule, must be paid for within three months, tn-weekly papers must be paid for within six months, semi- weekly papers within nine months and weekly papers within one year. the publisher continues to send beyond these periods he will do it at the risk of being deprived of second- lass postal privileges. Mr- V arner wants to have this ne rti teld up for a year, presumably to allow publ ishers to unite in a fight against it. The Chronicle has expressed its satis faction, with the new law, in that it will prevent the padding of circula tion lists for advertising purposes, a custom that prevails m different parts of the country. The Yorkville, S. C, Enquirer has about the correct view of the case. It says that the new arrangement will have the ef fect of doing for all country publish ers what ought to have been done all along ; but what few of them have been able to do for themselves put ting them on a strictly business basis. Hereafter publishers who 1 seek to work up circulations for the profit they may hope to get out of adver Using and publishers who seek to es tablish campaign organs for the pur pose of getting the announcement cards of the small candidates and- so much a line for booming those who contend for the more important of nces, win nna tne business con fronted with rather serious ob stacles. "The incentive to the prac tices described," says the Enquirer, was the building up of circulations to enhance the "value of advertising space and increase the influence of the papers following such methods. On the other hand there was no j lit tle annoyance to the public. The in dividuals to whom the papers were sent, found themselves importuned or pay, and as a rule there was no other way but of the annoyance .ex cept by continual submission to the imposition. The new orders of 'the Postmaster General will make a rad ical change in the practices jde scribed, and hereafter all newspa pers will have to be conducted on what amounts to a cash , in advance basis." With this view of the case. we should think the new law, instead of being objectionable, is an entirely proper and desirable one. j 4 j. Senator Lee S. Overmam.. 11 Lee Slater Overman.

' The census bureau issued yester day its rep&rti showing the amount of cotton ginned up to January 1st as being 9,955,427 bales against 11,- 741.039 on the corresponding date last year. This report was inteteted as beinj? decidedly bullish, and a slieht advance of about 10 to 15 Doints was discernible in the market. Local cotton men who expressed themselves declare that the report wai under the figure generally ex pected. It is believed widely now that! the total crop will not amount to more than 11.250.000 bales. The spot situation is gradually and constantly i showing . lmproye m"it. There is every indication to h lieve that hereafter better prices will nrevail. The cotton being of fered is largely poor stuff, badly stained, showing that the end of the iron is near. - The farmers who held their crops have better cba-ces than ever to realize on their noiamg, Florida hotels to an extent which few realize, remarked a prominent traveling man to an Observer repor ter at the belwyn yesterday. I have just returned from a crip South and 1 learn ehat a number are not to open at all. The Florida hotel managers are blue over the prospects for they see terrible times ahead. Those who are to open are trimming their sails in order to meet the expected strin gency. I am not surprised to learn that the Southern is to cut oft its fast Florida trains this winter, They have never paid even with the travel secured during prosperous times, ana tne toss-mis season would doubtless have , been enormous, trom what 1 know of the travel, the Chicago Limited will be about the only train to be operated, , although one or two others may be put on- for a week or- two. The Florida resort hotels have heretofore depended largely on the New England tourists for the bulk of their trade and this will be reduced to a minimum this winter. I would not be surprised to learn that some of the largest of them will go into the hands of re ceivers before the season is over, wnue a JNew iorK lawyer was standing with his back to his office door in order to give the typewriter girl an opportunity ' to remove a speck of dust from; his eye, his wife unexpectedly entered the , room While his eyesight is better than ever the doctors say that he will be permanently bald. A TUIE fR ECONOMY. -Chartaatpaj Nw a4 CoarW. ' Although South Carolina bee-ins the year with plenty corn in the crib and a great deal .of cotton which will probably ! be sold at good prices daring tie next seven months, steadily bringing money tn to cir culation, it is well to bear in mind that the financial condition of the country is, still nervoy, and one can not predict in these circumstances what is likely to happen- Conse quently, prudence and common senae dictate to our people that they should to an unusual degree practice econo my in expenditures. Nothing xdot4 quickly relieves hard times than prompt meeting of obligations, and it should be every man's endeavor to pay his debts as they become due if he possibly can pay them, but until the skies have cleared caution should be exercised in contracting obliga tions that might not be. in the least extravagant in normal ' times. Gen erally speaking, there is no severe money stringency in this State, and what is felt is the reflection of the. stringency elsewhere, but we should bear in mind that we cannot escape the operation of causes i that alTect other parts 01 the country. . Undoubtedly, improvement throu-j ghout the country has set in, but it has not gone far enough for anybody to feel entirely easy. Our people occupy; very firm ground at present; the farmers particularly are in ptron-i ger position than they have beeni in years, and their gained advantage will be permanent if they willj keep in mind that extravagance is dangeV OU3 when the financial world is not exactly sure "where it is at." i ' i i Money that is saved now will be quite as good for spending purposes three months or six. months hence anyhow. PASSING Of TMt PANIC Tilled Husbands. , ' j Most Americans thought that when Miss.Consuelo Vanderbilt, her self seemingly an amiable and charm ing woman, married the 1 Duke of Marlbrough some , years since a real honorable . love match had been made between an American heiress and an i English nobleman. The thought has long since perished as the Duchess is now living in sor rowf ul and disappointed retirement and the Duke live3 is staying well it matter not where nor how. This has brought to mind the cost to American heiresses of these worth less foreign titles. Ou' "first; fam lies (?)" declares Mr. Henry Clews "have sent nine hundred million dol- Mars abroad with those worthless marriages. A ! New York news paper man recently compiled a : list of thirty three divorce suit3 of Amer ican wives against titled foreigners. A recent magazine writer says Wi have before us now a list of twentyj seven American girls who have married European princes' and there are likely 'to be twenty seven divorce suits in- the courts ! at no distant date. Of all the money spent in sheer folly, in simple sense less stupidity for misery and uunhap- piness this of American heirss for foreign title caps: the climax. Progress of the South. 1 j The Chattanooga Tradesman An nual contains among its important features an elaborate review of Southern progress during 1907, in which the following interesting faefs are given: I '! The principal crops were a3 f ol- ows: j ' , . i v i : Hay of all kinds, tons 7.590.000. Wheat, bushels 91,433.000j V ' Corn, bushels 959,743,000.; Oats, bushels, 67,338.000. ! Tobacco, pounds, 437,139,000. Rice, bushels, 21,412.000. ! Two notable increases over the pre vious year are shown by these figures,; the Southern hay crop being 25 per cent, greater than in 1906, and the rice crop increased nearly the same percentage. During the last five years, tiowever agriculture has made such progress m the Southern States, that the corn crop has increased nearly 50 per cent. The rice crop is five times greater while as already stated, the fodder crop has enlarged 25 per cent. in a single year. In 1900 the value of products of vegetable gardens of the South was $13,000,000; at present the annual yield of orchards and vineyards in this section is over $30,- 000,000 making the sunt total of the annual fruit and truck product of the South fully $150,000,000. During the last cotton year we sent out of the country about "8,500,- 000 bales of raw i cotton,- fully two- thirds of the crop: but such is the growth of the cotton industry in the united btates that the boutn now contains 700 mills, Operating nearly 10,000,000 spindles and 1908 will add fully 20 more plants. The States of North and South Carolina have no less than 400 plants with 6,300,000 spindles, : ..-(- All Due to Teddy Bears. The popularity of the Teddy bear is causing trouble in the iurmture business. It seems a far cry from the ubiquitous little animal to the upholstered parlor set, but there is really an intimate connection be tween the two. While the plush skin of the Teddy bear is by' no means identical with the plush used for upholstering, the same machine is used for making both. The enormous demand for the bearskin plush the last year or twq has kept these machines so busy that comparatively little furniture plush has been turned out.: The consequence is that the latter material is scarce and high, the price having gone up almost 30 per cent. What is called fur clothes of all kinds, has, become higher because higher because of the Teddy bears. Plushes1 used for women s coats have suffered because the bears had to be equipped to mere with a good skin, no I matter what happened to mere furniture and; women.' 4 Husband What!
