WHY THE SOUTH is POOR.

Tho reasons are apparent Our cot
ton and timber are shipped to the
North and East ana manufactured into
fabric or implements, and again sold
and returned to the South with the
additional cost Of workmanship. trans
portation, and manufactures profit,
supplemented by the original price paid
the South for its primitive product.
BY this means the South has not made
anything by the transaction, but has
actually paid in addition to the amount
1t at first received, all the expenses and
profits incidental to its transportation
and manufacture. This is a losing
Investment to the South, and the profit
which should have been made and
kept at home, go to swell tho wealth
Of the North and the East.
And then while the South is raising
cotton at cents pound, it is purchas- :
ing corn ut the rate of 81 bushel.
1t is buying corn when corn can be
raised hers as profitably as in Illinois
or Indiana. 1t is buying -four whom
wheat can be grown in the South as
profitably as in Minnesota or Iowa.
1t is buying pork, bacon and hog pro-
ducts, and yet the South can raise as
many hogs as Kansas and Missouri.
1t Is these violations OF the principles
of economy. augmented by the
practices Of the nationsl government,
that cause the cry of hard times in the
South.
The South should build up factories
and manufactures, raise its own .shog
and hominy," 1.-Two Independently of
any other section and rely exclusively
on it's own efforts on every farm, hamlet
and village throughout our Southland.
then, and not until then will the South
enjoy that era of wealth, happiness
and prosperity for which natures God
has destined her.-Press Eagle, Pine
Bluff, Ark.

A leading planter in Georgia, and d
good Allianceman. said the other dav:
II don't take any stock in these resolu-
ton. and kind OF semi-otIicial talk
about curtailing the area planted ii
cotton. 1t Is all bosh. and does more
harm than good. There are enough
men mean enough. II they though there
was going to be any curtailmeut Of the
crop. to double up and make more cot
ton than they ever did. The right
thing to DC is for our farmers 10 look
out for some other crop to take the
place OF cotton. Try tobacco. hay,
stock anything but cotton. but plant
some Of that, There is no money ia
cotton " the present prices. There is
no money in any crop that costs q
third of its value to gather II, and
more than two-thirds OF its value q

and the Alliance, as an organization.
In politics are two very different things.
The original declaration of principles
OF the Alliance is not only commend

1t is not, however, the farmer in

but the dragging the Alliance into

Alliance as a party which is to be
dreaded. but disintegration will take
place through internal dissensions.

questions and debate them within the
Alliance is wisdom; to thrust their
views upon the public, or even the

HAY MAKING.
ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE CROPS
THAT CAN BE RAISED.

East Carroll DAY Banner
We were reading in the Alexandria
Town Talk several days ago where a
hay farmer near Alexandria netted this
year IS. 700 on ITO acres of land plant
ed in bermuda, and red and white
clover. We have had occason before
to speak Of this particular branch of
agriculture. and to call attention to the
facility and comparative small ex-
pense with which it may be carried on.
VI late years this branch of industry
seems to have received more attention
from the planters in East Carroll than
formerly. and some of them pay gre at
deal OF time and attention to it. Promi-
nent among these are Messre. j. G.
Oldfeld. on Buckmeadow, and Phil
McGuire, just below town. In the last
two years. Mr.. Nc Guire has gone into

can bc raised. 1t is easily planted, ii
does not have to be cultivated as cotton
and corn. and it can be cut. cured and
baled with less trouble than cotton
can be ginned and bailed. A net profit
OF s5. 0UO on 10 acres of land beats
cotton planting all to pieces. Bermuda
and red clover thrive in this climate.
and it is wonder that more OF the
farmers do not pay some atte ntion TO
this branch Of farm life We have
every advantage here OF soil climate
and natural conditions; and a great

from this source. Messrs Mcclure
and Oldfeld have always. succeeded in
the business; why should not others do
the same?

Jerry Harrington.

The following dispatch will tie of inter.
est to Jerry Hsrril gton's many tri-city
friends: There is no end of trouble in
the Cincinnati league club and the bitter
feeling that exists am ing the players
toward Capt. Latham will probably lead
to his retiring from the position. Har-
rington was suspended in Philadelphia
and has been sent home. The incident
which led to the trouble occurred in
Mondays game at Boston. Latham
does not dress at the hotel with the
players when away from home, and on
that Monday be went to the Boston park
with some women. He did not appear
upon the grounds in uniform until after
the Cincinnstis had finished their prelim-
mary practice, Harrington was throwing
to second base, when Latham took the
ball away from him and said be wanted
to practice with it. Hot words followed
between them and Harrington refused to
catch the game. The big catcher was
fined 800 By Manager LOTUS. He re-
fuses to throw another ball unless the
fine is RENTED. All the players side
with Harrington.
