WATTING FOR THE HEEDLESS.
As smooth as glass an ic* pond lay
Beneath a sky all cold and gray.
And not a word toad It to say.
Nay, nay.
A man and maiden o>r It blew;
Their hearts were light, their
were new;
They thought the things they couldn't
do
Were few.
The l*"* pond nursed a tender spot.
0 "Not. not!"
They dldn t hear the little crack;
Th y circled out and glld^l back
And out again upon their track—
"Gee. whack!"
The lot pond spoke and actad too.
"Crack, crack, kersplaab!" They both
went through
Into the water cold and blue.
These two.
The man and maid a leason got.
And were they coid? I should say not;
That little Ice pond made them hot.
That's what
As smooth as glass the Ice pond Use
Beneath the gray of winter's skies.
It waits to make more foolish guys
Some wise.

When winter's beauteous diamonds gleam,
It's nice to Hnuggle up to steam;
With Jack Frost camping In the lot,
A radiator strikes the spot.
But when the summer breezes blow.
Warmed by the sunbeam's steady glow,
You much prefer a bank of snow.
Btraiure as the thing appews to be,
You don't want Ice when It Is free,
But when they charge you for the stuff,
Somehow you cannot get enough.

Alexandria. La.. Feb. 7.—Turn to a
map of Louisiana. stick a pin in tbe dot
representing this city and you will
have what represents approximately
the center of one of the greatest Indus-
trios of this country—the geographical
center of cotton production. For the
first time in the agricultural history of
the • at ion King Cotton, the monarch
of the southland, has crossed the father
of waters end enthroned himself west
of the Mississippi. These deductions
are based upon the department of agri-
culture cotton crop estimates for 1906-
1907.
According to these fgures, compiled
by government experts, the total of
the last cotton crop Is approximately
12,500,000 hales, of which 6,200,000
bales were grown east of the river and
8,300,000 west of the river, giving an
excess In favor of the southwestern
states of about 100,000 bales. Of the
total crop nearly a third was grown in
Texas, the estimated yield approach-
ing th« gigantic total of 4,000,000 bales.
Ixniisiana is second in the list of the
western cotton states, producing a to-
tal of almost 1.000,000 bales. Arkan
sas and the new state of Oklahoma are
also rapidly coming to the front, th«
total crop of each being in the neigh-
borhood of 800,000 bales.
Of the states east of the Mississippi,
Georgia leads with more than 1,500,000
bales, with Mississippi and Alabama
close seconds. South Carolina comes
fourth on the list with a total of about
875.000 bales; North Carolina fifth,
with 535,000 bales, and Tennessee.
Florida and Virginia, in the order
named, with smaller amounts.
According to this estimate the cot-
ton crop of Texas is almost as great
as that of the combined crops of
Georgia. Mississippi and Alabama, the
three leading cotton states east of the
Mississippi.
Last Bulletin Shows Continued ln-
creas of Fatalities.
Washington, Feb. 7.—The accident
bulletin of the interstate commerce
commission covering the three months
ending September 13. 1906. shows nn
increase in the total number of casuali-
ties to passengers and employes of
rail road ^ompanies, of 2,192, and a to-
tal increase of 73 in the number of
passengers and employes of railroad
companies killed. The report is com-
pared with the report of the preceding
three months.
The total number of employes kill-
ed in coupling and uncoupling cars
was 81, an increase of 13 over the
report of the preceding quarter.
"These totals continue large," says
the bulletin.
At a recent luncheon in this city
Delegate J. H. Maxey of the 31st dis-
trict, responded as follows to a toast
on laughter: "Here's to laughter, the
sunshine of the soul, the happiness of
the heart, the leaven of youth, the
privilege of purity, the echo of inno-
cence, the treasure of the humble, the
wealth of the poor, the bead on the
cup of displeasure; it dispels dejection,
banishes blues, and mangles melan-
choly; for it's the foe of woe, the de-
stroyer of depression, the enemy of
grief; it is what kings envy peasants,
plutocrats envy the poor, the guilty
envy the innocent; it's the sheen on
the silver of smiles, the ripple on the
waters of delight, the glint on the gold

pany has offered to compromise for
JS000, of which sum $5300 has been
paid by the citizens. The balance
must be raised In a few days, or it
wi'l be brought into court. A com-
mittee was appointed consisting of C.
J. Benson, J. T. Fisher, W. P. Dix,
S C. Vinson and Isaac Staggs to col-
let t the necessary balance. Some of
the subscribers have been delinquent
and if the sum is not raised before
the suit comes up in court, these lat-
ter will be sued for the entire amount;
and those who have paid their sub-
scription will be cleared from further
suit by the railroad company. It
seems that the company has a right,
according to the bonds signed, to sue
each individual for the entire amount
subscribed: but those who have taken
ccre of their payments will be pro-
tected.

all appearances a man.
