Gov. Stones Words of Advice.
The address which Gov. Stone OF Mis-
sissippi made at the opening of the
cotton growers convention at Jackson.
in that state, on Wednesday. contained
a great deal Of food for thought The
governor expressed the opinion that the
growing of cotton would never hold the
place it once did in the estimation of
the world. for the reason that it is doubt
full if cotton would ever again be as profit
able crop as it has been heretofore.
He pointed out. however, how cotton
could be made more profitable to the
south than It has ever vet been. His
advice is that the attention of cotton
planters be directed to the building Of
small cotton mills In their respective
neighborhoods. and the cotton be turned
into yarns and cloth for export instead
of being marketed raw material. Ii
this plan were gradually adopted the
cotton planters would get more out of
their cotton crops than they have been
getting, aud there would be opened a new
field of employment for thousands Of the
southern people.
The cotton planters would do well to
direct their energies along the line sug-
gested by Gov. Stone. They can accom-
plish nothing by attempting to reduce
production by boycotting schemes or by
combining TO hold back a part of the
crop. The cotton area is too great for
a cotton trust or boycott scheme. 1t
is simply d waste of time to discuss such
things.
4 Washington correspondent who is
evidently an admirer of Senator Hill, pre-
diets that the senator will before long
surprise the country with something i'm
the way of dramatic authorship, or with
a powerful novel The senator, it is said.
has been devoting himself assiduously to
literature ever since he bought Actor En-
mett's place up on the Hudson. His poliu-
cal instinct and training have made him
proficient in plotting and arranging dra-
matte clmaxes, which accomplishments
are as necessary in the literateur as in
the politician. Charles Frohman. the
theatrical manager. is quoted as saying
! that Senator Hill has true dramatic talent.
and that he is one of the most reliable
critics who ever attended first night.
During his career Senator Hill has prob
ably gathered material sufficient for a
dozen political novels. It is a pleasure TO
think that If he must become an author,
ne will turn his pen to the novel or the
drama. and not to a political history of
/ congress during his membership thereof.

gray. Prof Clark of the state school for
the deaf and dumb at Flint has been
discharged from his position as superin-
tendeut. Prof. Clark is an accomplished
educator, and was q good soldier. 1t
seems that when he was elected to the
position of superintendent of the school
it was not known he had been i'm the con-
federate army. The fact was brought
out recently. and the board controlling
the school Immediately put Prof. clark
upon trial for the offeuse. An eN-ofHcer
Of the federal army, who had faced Clark
at Gettysburg, made a plea for him.
But the board was ''staunchly republi-

Clark was told that he would have to

like it.

This altogether unheard of condition Of
