"Kvery time," said the young'

"The lady Raid she had mislaid
the letter. I called at the house
twice and they had not found it.
''The lady Mid nlie was sure she
had laid it away dome where, bnt
could not find it. I was anxious to
get them into our church out of
the cold, mo I suggested different
places for tlieni to hunt for it.
"Finally, I saw a Bible on the
table and I RiiggeKted that maybe
tdey nail it in the liible. The lady
Raid ma) be, but if it was in there
it waa loat, because they never
could find an) thing in the Bible.

found a remedy for rheumatism,
and a little further along wasa for

two blocks all patched ready for a
silk quilt, and the tail of several
neckties.
"When I 0ened on Icnteroiio

There was an envelope with some
thing in it, and I opened it, but it
wasn't a church letter. It waa ten

One Hundred Thousand Deaths
from Drink Each Year.
"Dr. Norman Kerr, the greatest
authority on inebriety that the world
has produced, tells of his study of
this pnibletn in his work, ".Mortality
of Intemperance," published in In
don in 187'J. Ho says: "When, a
few years ago, I instituted an in
quiry into the causes contributing to
the mortality in the practice of sev
eral medical friends, it was with the
avowed object of demonstrating and
exposing the utter falsity of Jhe per
petual teetotal assertion that (K,()(Kt
drunkards died every year in the
t'nitcd Kingdom.
"1 had not long pursued this line
of inquiry before it was made clear
to me that there was little, if any,
exaggeration ill these temperance
statistics; and when asked to present
the final results of my investigation
to the last Social Science Congress,
I was compelled to admit that nt
least 120,(100 of our population an
nually lost their lives through alco
holic excess 40,500 dying from
their own intemperance, and 7t,r(KI
from accident, violence, poverty, or
disease, arising from the intemper
ance of others."
"Tho late Dr. Willard Tarker. of
New York, one of tho foremost sur
geons that America ever produced,
after a thorough study of the sub
ject in New York city, gave it as his
mature opinion 'that 3.'!) per cent, of
all the deaths in New York city were
occasioned directly or indirectly by
the use of alcoholic drink.' Kvery
medical expert known outside of his
own precinct who has made an ex
haustive study of the problem has
come to practically tho same conclu
sion, i.e., that a minimum proortion
of deaths caused by alcohol is 10 per
cent As there were 1,039,091 deaths
in the census year 1900, that would
make about 100,000 as alcohol's
share."

W hy, Ur. Jordan told the writer
that some one came to him at the
hotel after the speaking hem, and
after the fanners from dilTereiit sec
tions of the county had testified that
the acreage would be reduced, and
told him that lie need not pay any
attention to w hat the farmers of this
county said, that they were not going
to reduce. Are you content for such
a rcHrt to go up as this? Yet the
government may have among its re
porters men who w ill give just such
a report, and thereby cause great
loss to the cotton growers.
Remember the day, the first Satur
day in May, and let's make it a rally
day that is what President Jordan
calls it. In the meantime prepare
for plenty of corn and forage. If
you nave been making a failure in
the oat crop, plant some of your cot
ton land in peas and fertilize them,
and then sow your oats early next
fall, and by this time next year
they will lie a source of joy and
pride to yon. Don t depend on an
oat crop after cotton; it is simply too
late, and for this reason the oat crop
is usually a failure in this county
I hero is money in oats, there is
money 111 corn; there is monev in lots
of things that can be raised in Union
county.
The farmer who plants his usual
quota of cotton and fails to make
ample provision for food and forage
crops, is just walking up to the maw
of the five cent-cotton wolf, and the
wolf will camp around his door all
next winter. Ho is just furnishing
the stick with which the speculators
will beat him to his financial death
If cotton is 5 cents next fall, don't
blame the Southern Cotton Associa
tion; don't abuse the buyer or curse
the speculator, but place the blame
where it belongs on the planters
themselves. I. J. . Hiioom,

On the wall behind the desk of
the ollice of a mountain hotel hung
a motto, "Do it now. Tourists us
ually noticed it at once on visiting
the bouse for the first time, and often
some ono would ask its meaning,
The proprietor said he was continu
ally being consulted by travelers as
to the best lime to climb this or that
mountain, to visit the falls or to take
some ot the other excursions for
which the region was famous. He
had concentrated all his wisdom into
those three little words and placed it
there it could be of service to all his
guests. As the new year opens this
is a good motto for every one of the
three hundred and sixty-five days to
apply to the good offices which you
have planned, the services you moan
to no some time, and can do now.
e know that there is a "too late.
It is the awful tragedy of many a life.
A word of affection that ought to have
been swken, but it was kept back
until it was too late; a kind deed that
ought to have been done, but it was
left undone until it was too late; a
good resolution that should have been
made a deed, but it tarried until it
was too late. There is a too late, an
irrevocable too late, in the highest
and tenderest realms of a man s life,
and men everywhere suffer loss and
are tortured by remorse in conse
quence. It is not too late yet. "Vo it now."

"Ono man will carry the lsittlc

consists of a few cakes of soap,
