SMALL COTTON CROP


Memphis, Tenn. Dec. Sat meet
held late this afternoon the following
resolutions were adopted;
The cotton crop of 1ge4-gj aggregated
the enormous total of 1901, 2ji bales
and greatly exceeded the requirements
of the worlds manufactures. The mar
heting OF this enormous crop depressed
prices to such an extent that values
were the lowest known In the past
nifty years.
The commercial value OF the total
crop was s2o7O3I.Oj0 and only exceeded
the short crop OF 1s92-es sl2,27g, 0ts. nj
though the production was 5000. $3.50
bales greater. This enormous crop
WIN lis proportionately low price net.
tsu the producers less money than VIII
the present crop with u smaller acre
age and production OF nearly one
third less Ia bales.
IL having been practically dcmon-
strated by the results of the present
season that small crop OF cotton
actually brings tho producer more
money than an extremely large rrop
ana that the Southern cotton producers,
having grown their supplies at home,
merely making cotton the gtirpIns
crop, are generally IN better financial

FRANK BROTHERS
Bad Boys in all Wards.

To Daily LIGHT:
Your paragraph yesterday head
ed "a Dirty Practice" and showing
that San Antonio has its full
average of tough boys, some of
whom will use bad language and
carve with their knives on bench
es, posts or fences, was no doubt
given in order to draw attention of
parents and teachers on the short
comings OF their growing charges !;
still the article should have been
made to apply to the whole city
and not to have singled out one
ward thereof. No teac hers or
parents would be foOlhardy enough
to deny the existence of tough
youngsters in the third ward any
more than elsewhere, but he would
be foolhardy to claim that the at
tentive eye of the teacher or
parent could always have them
under careful observation.
/ do not think your article was
intended to reflect on scholars of
private schools, so l will only men,
ton, that, in praise Of the princi-
pals and teachers OF the Colorado
street school, in which l take an in
terest, there has not been bad lang
uage allowed, nor has there been a
single instance OF any brawl, quar-
rel or fight that could come or did
come within observance Of the
principal and teachers OF said.
school.
Nocomplaint could also correctly
be brought against the little West
End school, where l live and where
parents are we'll pleased with the
school. 1t is bad, but true, that
some boys have too much time
when they are not, and cannot be-,
under the direct supervision Of
parent or teacher, but this must be
the case all over the city and not
only this city but all others.
Your insertion of this, in your
valuable paper, will have the merritt
of convincing your friends, that
your article was intended for gen.
eral application and not restrictive|
to one ward.
Bad boys must suffer in the fu1
ture for their misconduct now, and
the most strict parents and mos
conscientious teachers cannot pre-
vent. s.
The LIGHT cheerfully inserts thu
above, but Of its own knowledge
knows that between schools and
homes very bad boys tarry too lonS
for no good to themselves, for pa
rents or teachers.
