The Present Cotton Crop to BRING
10 Cents.

BIEMIxGHAM, Ala, Sept. l4.-Capt.
4. +. Kolb, ex-CommlssioLer Of Agrl-
culture, and a well-knovn- politician,
has addressed an open letter to the cot
ton planters in answer to inquiries IRON
various sections OF the south IN II
he saws, among other things:
NO intelligent man who is adequate
~ posted VIII take issue with me on
the proposition that the present crop
Of cotton will fall far below the needs
Of the worlds consumption for the next
twelve months In my opinion, the
crop can not possibly reach 100000
and NAV fall below 100000. ! think
I can give many good reasons for my
conclusion \ wet May always means
a short cotton crop. This Is Il known
fact to All growers OF cotton and stands
~ a Tradition handed down to Us by
our forefather9 from generation to gen
Grafton, ever since the production OF
cotton was introduced in this country.
This wear We do not only haye the wet
Nav. but during the three following
months Of June. July and August, the
rains continued over all the cotton
States except Texas. If we know any
thing of cotton production, we must
know that the cotton plant Is sun
plant and not a water lly, and hence
| too much water has very much dam
aged the crop.
Then, again, too much moisture in
many sections has produced ''rust,' and
| the stalks. leaves and hollis have turned
red, and not half a crop Will be pro
duced on such plants. In other sec
tons the boil worms army worms anC
sharp shooters have been very destruc
tive and the crop nearly destroyed
besieged by all these causes.
Again, the cotton crop, in the aver
age, is nearly one month late and al
early frost would cut the crop owe
900, 900 bales. With so much mOis
ture in the soil this year we SHOULD
expect iro~t much earlier than usual.
"As / understand the situation of thu
present cotton crop, after diligent in
quiry, ! think it possible and highl
probable that not exceeding $4,000
bales will be produced.
81 advise that no cotton be market
ed during the next sixty to ninety days
except to meet debt and actual demand
II YOU hold your cotton until NOven

Continue to curtail your acreage an

PECULIAR To ITSELF.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
Itself, IN strictly medicinal sense, in
three important particulars, viz first.
in the combination of remedial agents
used second, in the proportion In
which they are mixed third, IN the
process by which the active curative
properties of the preparation are secur-
ed. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparllla peculiar in
It's medicinal merit, as it accomplishes
cures hitherto unknown.
But 1t is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparllla does, that tells the
story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla has
done for others is reason for confidence
that it is the medicine for you.
