The who are holding their cotton should be careful to protect it against exposure to the weather. There is as much danger of loss by neglect in this particular as there is from the low price.

Russia's History a Stormy One. Russia has already been the scene of two great revolutions The first popular uprising occurred in 1730, when Peter II. was deposed and Catherine placed on the throne. Again in 1702 there was a that grew out of the tyranny of the reigning house of that threatened to terminate their rule In this second uprising Peter III. was forced to abdicate the throne, and the revolutionists crowned II. in his place. Her reign was hardly lets stormy than that of ruler who had been dragged from the throne and murdered The country was in a constant state of semi revolution, and in 177-1 the Cossacks entered into an open rebel- lion which lasted a year before the ruler succeeded in bringing them into subjection. History of many revolutions among the nations of the world. The first about, which there is anything like definite record was the fall of the Roman empire and the of the republic on its ruins by Julius Caesar in P. C. The next great revolution was in B. C, when the Macedonian empire supplanted the Persian on the de- feat of Darius by Alex- the Great For more than two hundred years the world lived in comparative peace but in D. C, there, came the third historic revolution in the great Assyrian empire was de- and in its wake came the nation of the Modes and Persians, As to Witness Fees Here some things suggested by the Anglo that have long been a cause for the need of some legislation as a matter of common justice to the citizens of the State The witness summoned before a grand jury gets no pay, where a true bill is not found. witnesses get nothing when a de- is acquitted and the state, or rather the county is taxed with the cost. looks like a hardship upon witnesses who are summoned be- cause they were supposed to know something of a being they have had opportunity to know something certain liquor dealer was sup- posed to have sold whiskey on Sun day, was presented before a grand jury. Two young men who some- times drank whiskey, were sum- before that jury. They came Monday, spent four days at a hotel at the court house waiting to be called before that jury. They may have believed that the man sold whiskey on Sunday, but they did not know it, and a true bill was not returned to the court; they received no pay. And the clerk allowed them to throw away ten cents each in proving his attendance. a defendant has you summoned and he cornea clear, you are sure out your time and hotel bill The so and the state's witnesses get half fees. This doesn't look alto- right, but it is law. reason this is so fixed is be- cause so many take advantage of the court's unprincipled hangers on around the court houses, who are looking for fees.

As a rule you get better goods at home than by sending away. You know the home dealer and the home-made article and you can better determine whether the price asked is a fair one.
