Extraordinary emergencies often call for unusual and heroic remedies The following prayi-i is said to have lieen used by a brother at High Point who was called upon to pray in public: "0 l,ord, Thou art said In know all things, but it d'ist seem that Thou dost, not know that there is a blind tiger running day and night next to my home in this christian city. 1 hereby inform you that I have ap pealed to the mayor and the chief of police to stop it, but they have turned deaf ears to my cry. I now appcai to Thee as an individual and m lie- half of this commiiinlv to furnish us some agency whereby such demoral izing conduct ran lie stopped." It will be more ctlicacious for the brethren to explain to the mayor and the cnief of police just how their salaries may lie cut off if the blud nger continues to tiounsti. l nat is the only remedy, bul it always proves effective when rightly applied. Violent riots broke out in Tokio, the .lapanesc. capital, as a demonstra tion of disapproval of the govern ment fur making peace on such easy terms. This is a distinct disappoint ment to those who have been prais ing the singlcmindedness, the unity of sentiment, and this readiness of the whole people to acquiesce enthu siastically in whatever the einperor and leaders did.

C, is unquestionably warranted by the conditions existing today, and the Southern Cotton Association will soon see the wisdom of increasing to l.' cents in a reasonahle time, and much higher than 12 cents as the season progresses. Xever was there a time that the demands of the world for cotton were so great as they are at the pres ent time. Xever were conditions so favorable for a maximum consumptive as is progressing now. The mills of the world are con suming over 1,000,01)0 bales of cot ton per month, equalling fully 12, 500,000 bales of cotton per year. ine aemana tor their goods is something marvelous. The price of the staple has been heretofore entirely inadequate to the amount of labor that has been put into ine production thereof by the planter. 11 cents for cotton is less in pro portion to the benefits that the plan ter should receive than any other commodity produced by the farmer. In PJ03 wool sold, on the sheep's DacK, lor i cents a pound. In 1905, this year, it sold for 28 cents a pound, on the sheep s back showing an increase in two years of 4uu per cent.
