MM Perhaps some farmers who have felt deep interest in the Southern Cot ton Association may feel a little discouraged at the decline in the price Stand Together who feel discouraged at the decline in the price of cotton we suggest that had it not been for the Southern Cotton Association the price might not have been as good as it is. No one can say with any show of authority that the oaganiitiou has not done good. The representatives from all cotton States meet in convention in Little Rock, Ark., to-day and will fix a minimum price tor cotton this season. While no one knows what price the Association will namo as a minimum, if it is a reasonable one the farmer? of the South ought to stand together as far as they can. Hit That is the way our President's nime would appear in print if the re form In spelling should begin at his homo. President Roosevelt is set Tfceodor Kuzfolt will commence to sign his name "Theodor RuzTeli" then people will be gin (o attach some importance, perhaps, to the fad which ho is said to favor. All this talk about phonetis spelling is a waste of time and space In the prints. Who la going to stand for the confusion which the new spell ing will bring to our staid and strong and noble institutions? And who is goiug to be responsible for th3 training of boys and girls to read after the n3w methods of phonetic spelling? It isn't every one that can half read intelligibly the stories by "Uncle Remus," but that is an easy job com pared with rending the tangled and abbreviated phonetic sentences which would fill our books and papers should Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Carnegie and the balance of the f.iddist3 succeed in getting the method before the world. For our part we crooned too long and too hard over the columns in the "Blu Back speller" (blessings on its memory) tn our childhood days to be willing to giye up at this late day to those who desire to take a shorter course. If a typical country lad of to-day should write a letter to his typi cal country uncle telling about chasing a rabbit 'through' a brier patch and should write it thus : "We thot we wud kontinu tu folio the nouns thru the briurs till tha cot the rabits," his uncle might not be able to tell whether he had gone through the briers or had retreated in failure of his game. No, no, ;ood faddists for phonetic ppelling.this publication is against you, and we believe that many more who have labored well to learn to spell will object to having to. unlearn it all now. That is ta say, we refuse to be dragged backwards through the"L51ue Back" and other such good books in these good years at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. We prefer to continue to progress in the old way. Judge Neal, in his charge to the grand jury in Halifax Superior Court August 20th, declared that just a few days before he had tried a man in Northampton court who, though thoroughly Unpunished Criminals. ... ... , T . . ... 1 guiltv, was acquitted. Judge Neal did not state what crim3 the man was charged with, but it was learned from other source that he was charged with attempted criminal assault upon a girl. But Judge Neal believed him guilty notwithstanding his acquittal. Judge Neal cited the case to emphasize the fact that too often jurors forget the evidence in a case and listen too much to the argument of lawyers. Judge Neal said that he can take four lawyers in almost any county in the State and stay the conviction of almost any man in such county charged with auy crime except rape. We think we have stated Judge Neal's language almost verbatim. Such being the case it would soem that juries frequent ly attach too much importance to the arguments of the lawyers. Some 6hrewd, popular lawyers can so play upon the minds of a jury as to make them sometimea almost accept their statement that white Is not exactly white and that black is not altogether black. It was suggested to us by a man who sees much cf the courts aui who sometimes sees the guilty crim inal go unwhipped of justice, as In the case Judge Neal cited, that such miscarriages of justice are frequently the cause of Jynching3, about which we hear so much. The truth Is, no man bears a greater responsibility than the man who sits on a jury to weigh justice between his fellow citizens or to hold the scales between the State and one charged with a grave crime against the State. Jurors should make up their verdict according to evi dence, as they are sworn to do, and not according to the sharp and engen ious argument of shrewd lawyers, or their pleadings of pity for family or relatives. We are saying nothing against the lawyers, but only em phasizing the fact that jurors should do their own thinking according to the evidence which they hear. Every time a guilty man goes unpun ished in a court of justice the way" to law breaking is made a little easier, and the State and society 6u2er. .

Scientific Spirit of the Age Removes the Barriers Between Nations Interesting Re sults. The ideal of a republic of letters is approaching nearer and nearer toward full realization in the modern world What was partially accomplished in the prime of medieval Europe by the use of a common language in the ex pression of a common religious faith is in process of accomplishment once more with characteristic differences, says the London Morning Post. It is the scientific spirlt'of the times rftat has removed the barriers between na tion and nation, to allow of the free interchange of knowledge and of the ideals bas-ii upon knowledge. The modern world, by which is understood not only Europte, but the American. African and Australian continents and the Indian, Japanese and Chinese em pires, has ho common language; but it has a common faith in the power of scientific principles to advance knowl edge and to prepare for its further ad vancement. We record to-day a fur ther stage in tha progress toward in ternational unity la a uolentlfk and educational endeavor. Columbia uni versity has established in the Univer sity of Berlin a professorship of the history and institutions of the United States, to be held by a series of Amer ican scholars of repute for one year each. The trustees of Columbia uni versity will nominate American schol ars for the "Theodore Roosevelt" chair at Berlin, and the Prussian min ister of education will make the op polntment. These professors are to be men of acknowledged eminence in their special studies; they are to give instruction in German to the Berlin students, and they will be so chosen as to present in successive years an outline of the history, the constitu tional and administrative law, the ed ucational, scientific and technogical work, the art and literature and the economic and sociological movements of the United States. In return the German government will establish a similar chair at Columbia university, with the object of presenting in Eng lish to the students of that seat of learning an outline of German history and German institutions. The praise due for the bold con ception and prompt fulfillment of this scheme for the international exchange of Ideas and of ideals through the me dium of professors qualified to ex pound them with scientific exactness in the language used by the students In either country must be divided among the German emperor and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who, we un derstand, discussed it last August at Wilhelmshohe; Dr. Athoff, of the Prussian ministry of education, to whose advice the schemo owes much; President Roosevelt, after whom the chair at Berlin will be named, and whose wide outlook upon the world has given so great an Impetus to the intellectual life of his country men, and last, but not least, James Speyer, whose splendid gift of $50, 000 has given substance to what would otherwise have remained a mere as piration. We are gratified that the visit which Dr. Butler paid to this country during last summer should have left upon his acute mind so fa vorable an jstimate of the work done by the English universities that be should express his hope for rua In terchange of the same kind between one or other of them and hl own University of Columbia. That, too, Is an aspiration, and ftt remains for some rich Englishman to give it sub stance. The professorship of colonial history recently established at Ox ford by the munificence of a South African is an effort in the same di rection. We are of opinion that an in terchange of professors between Brit ish universities, old and new, and colonial universities, su'ch as the Mo Gill university, of Montreal, would do much to promote that intimacy be tween the component parts of the British empire, which is for this coun try even more important than interna tional amity. Charity should begin. but should by no means end, with ih03e who are of the same household. The Pecan State. Texas is the greatest pecan-growing section In the world. Pecans are a valuable food product Cultivation of pecans Is a profitable industry, the tiees in many orchards being valued it $100 each. Experts declare the crop will pay more in proportion to the ;are given and money invested than lay other crop. There are pecan or- :hards in Texas more than 1,000 acres in extent, and even larger ones are to be created. Dallas News. Disconnected.

THOU Ml Catarrh and Catarrhal Diseases Make In valids of More Women Than All Other Ailments Com bined. Considers Pe-ru-na the Best Medicine In the World. Mrs. W. J. Bryafcton, 210 Sherman street, Dennison, Ohio, writes: "I followed the directions you kindly gave me and now I find myself entirely cured. I think your Peruna is the bent medicine in the world." Heartfelt Thanks For Relief Found in Pe-ru-na. Miss Jessie S. Dword, 37 South street,. Passaic, N. J., writes : "I took Peruna as you directed. I had a dry cough and after using two bottles of Peruna, I found relief. You have my heartfelt thanks." A cough is caused by a catarrhal con dition of the throat and bronchial tubes. Remove the catarrh and the cough dis appears. Peruna is the remedy for all catarrhal conditions. WORDS BUT RARELY USED. Strange Sentence in English Which Was Rattled Off by a Phil-. olog-ist. A philologist was talking about words. "There are over 225,000 words In the English language." he said, "but we only use a few thousand of them. The extra ones are no use to us. Any man could sit down with a directory and write in good English a story that no one In the world would under stand. Here, for instance, ran you make head or tail of this?" And the philologist pattered oft glibly: "I will againbuy the atabal. You are asweyed? Yet this Is no blushefs bobance nor am I a cudden, either. Though the atabal is dern, still will I againbuy it." Then he translated: T will recover the drum. You are amaaed? Yet this is no young girl's boasting, nor am I a fool, either. Though the drum 1h hidden, still will I recover it." Fire in Churches. , Chief Shaw, speaking of the prac tical operation of the law for the bet ter protection of audiences in theaters and public halls from fire, remarks that while our churches aro exempt rrom its provisions, as well as from monthly Inspection, there is greater danger from fire or panic in many of our houses of worship than there Is In most of the licensed places. This to frank and outspoken, though it Isn't a new revelation. It is a fair (jueettcm why church congregations ought not to be protected from the dangers of fire and panic as well as theater audiences. Boston Herald. Irving's Effects. Referring to the recent sale of Irving's effects, the London Mail says: "The proceedings were altogether er ratic. Mediocre drawings sold for pounds instead of shillings, excellent paintings for shillings instead of pounds. The relic was prized more highly than the work of art." Sar gent's portrait of Ellen Terry sold for ane-tblrd of what Irving had been of fered for it. Good Enough. Jaygreen I'd like to get a better job for my son; Kaybrown What's ho doing now?

Miss May Cray, 147 11th street, Brook lyn, X. Y., writes: 'Tor more than five years I suffered from rheumatic painn in my joints, and in damp or stormy weather I was obliged to st ay in door. "Medicine seemed to be of no use un til I started using Peruna. "I took twelve bottles in all, although it is six months ago since I stopped. "I have had no return of my old com plaint, in spite of the fact that I have been out in all sorts of weather during the severe winter." No better remedy was ever devised by the medical profession for the mitigation of all climatic ailments titan Peruna. CHURN BUTTER AT TABLE, Novelty in Dairy Machines Intro duced in London with Good Effect. Londoners recently had an opportun ity in their dairy show to see a novelty in machines which may modify our breakfasts considerably and usually much to their advantage. Epicures long ago found out that the only way to have satisfactory tea or coffee Is to make It yourself on the table. With butter such j a proceeding would have been out fi tho question, and we have all been de pendent on the dairyman and the gro cer, who, alas! too often inflict on thdr customers a rancid, boraxed substance better suited for axles than for stom achs. In French and German markets It is easy to get sweet butter every morning fresh from the country. In English and American cities it is seldom possible to do this, wherefore we ought to bless tha Inventor of the new machine referred to a churn which makes butter in CO seconds. "It Is so handy," we are told, "that It might very well be placed qn the tea table as an accessory to the cups and teapot and yet not look out of place. Given the requisite amount of cream, with a temperature of CO degrees, but ter can be made at any time when de sired." Such an Invention rs really of greater Importance than It may appear at first sight. There Is high medical authority for the assertion that there Is nothing Americans need so much as a greater supply of easily digested fat. Fresh butter is the best of these fats, and the more pure and tempting we can make it the more will dyspeptics. Invalids and all hard workers be benefited. Modern Love-Making-. Courtship is dead. Young men no longer make passionate avowals, they never start when she approaches, they do not grow pallid with Jealousy if another seems to be In favor, they cer tainly do not write sonnets to their mistress' eyebrow in fact, they scarcely even go so far as to write her a letter, and if they do go to this length the result Is never worth re publishing in book form. Lovers do not talk about thrdr hearts, and so on, and if engagements are terminated the severed twain have no Fcruples about subsequently meeting each oth er. In novels something x must be done to make up for the unromantlc spirit of the age, so awful situations have to be invented for hapless hero ines, who either have to kill them seslves or be killed or die in lunatic asylums or convents.
