REBEKAH'S LODGE REVIVED.
organized the local Lodge oT
Rebekahs, which was installed
On October 14th Special Deputy
Grand Master Geo. H. Colby re
here in 1894.
At the time of its organization,
the Odd Fellows had no Ceme
tery, and the ladies branch of that
great organization had nothing
more than its social features to
hold it together, but now there is
a great work for the Rebekahs.
rpt u: f tjuiv
1 he objects of the Rebekah
Lodge, is to work with the Trus
I tees of the Cemetery orceme
tei ies, as the organization is not
purely for one cemetery; no more
than its relief work which is not
especially confined tb Odd Fel*
lows, or their families.
The following are the old mem
bers: Mrs. Peel, Mrs. J. M. How
ell, Mrs. Carrie Kitchell, Mrs. A.
Bernstein, M. Andersen and H. G.
Kitchell.
The new members are Mes=
dames Luckett, M- N. Parish,
Kitchell, Wilson, White, Gossom;
Messrs. J F Bobbitt, J B Wilson
S G Wilson, W M Peteet, D H
White, John Dahmer, Geo D Cas
sity, G G Mitchell, G H Gossom
and R C King.
M Andersen was elected Noble
Grand to finish out the term so
that the ladies might become
acquainted with the work of the
Rebekahs, while H G Kitchell was
elected Secretary and R C King
Treasurer.
It is to be hoped that ladies in
terested in the cemeteries will
take advantage of the Rebekah
organization, as it offers a sys
tematic line of work in that way.
Any unmarried lady above the
age of 18 years, of good moral
character, may become members
and take active part in the work.

le confident prediction
eaaan Heflin of Ala
»day. Ina statement
Southern cotton own
the plan of holding
for a high price Heflin
Is of this country will
demand three-fifths of the entire
al
of
bama
U!
ers
their St
said
crop ana year.
Ten million bales will constitute
the entire cotton production of
the country this year, according
to Heflin. Of this the mills will
take 6,000,000, he says, leaving
only 4,000,000 to be divided be
tween export and munitions man
ufacture. Heflin pointed out that
since August last year we have
exported almost as much as the
entire crop this year will aggre
gate.
The European nations are al
ready paying fabulous prices for
secondary products of cotton,
such aa dry batteries and picric
acid, used in making explosives,
he said.
And cotton for smokeless
powder and other explosives will
be in greater demand th an ever
before," said Congressman Heflin,
Cotton prices are bound to be
higher, higher than at any time
since the war between the states.
The European nations are going
to pay and ought to pay 20 cents
a pound for cotton before long.
Germany is already in the South
ern market, buying and storing
cotton.
Congressman Heflin said the
holding movement is getting a
grip on the South and there will
be no backsliders to let the price
harrier down below what is
proper, He expressed doubt
whether there will be sufficient
to supply the spinners of the
country.

LET PIGS AND STEERS DO
HALF THE FARMING.
So says Geo. R. James of the
profitable farming campaign com
mittee.
M Why? Read these figures.
The food production per capita in
Tennessee is $66, in Mississippi
$37, Alabama $51. Our average
food consumption per capita in
the rural communities of the
South is about $84. Tennessee is
shy $18 per capita of feeding her
self.
The deficit in food production
in Tennessee* is $40,000,OCX), in
Mississippi $85,000,000, in Ar
kansas $51,000,000, in Memphis
trade territory nearly $100,
00Q,p00.
Why can't we feed ourselves?
Can't we raise pigs and steers,
And bay and grass?
'The trouble is this, as Mrs.
Mathis of Alabama says, 'We fight
grass to grow cotton to get money
to buy hay.' The average rural
wealth in Illinois is $2,655, in Iowa
$3,386, Tennessee $380, Missis
sippi $302, Arkansas $324. The
farm wealth per capita in McLean
county. Minois (a food-producing
community) is $».685.
"Save these figures. Compare
them with other figures which
wiH be given you tomorrow, but,
in the meantime, remember this
—that a one-crop system will im
poverish any country, and in
turn will impoverish tye »people.
It is only through livestock farm
ing ami the using of our energies
c<
II
every day in the year that we can
