and, abandoning grains, they turned their
attention to fruits and dairying
Cotton farming is probably as primitive
as any other branch of agriculture. The
system in the South Is just changing Cap
ital, science and brains are revolution
hing the industry. The shifting Of the cot
ton belt from the East 10 the West of the
Mississippi is of no greater importance
than the new methods Of culture which
are being adopted. New and superior
plants are being developed through selec-
ton and intensive cultivation The Old,
half-tarming system Is being replaced by
large plantations, Systematically organ
lied and conducted, and they win produce
more cotton to the acre and at less out
lay than the one-horse, unscientihc farms
of@the shiftless, careless negroes
For long time the contention was
made by intelligent growers thar an ignor-
ant, shftless darby or white man could
raise as much cotton to the acre as
skilled, scientific agriculturlst. but this
could hardly be true, even though il re-
quired little intelligence to raise the
plants. In the light of recent develop
ments the folly. of 1t is made apparent
to all. The cotton planter, with new
seed new machinery and new methods of
culture, increases the yield in a way that
threatens the oue-horse farms with ruin
IL is believed that the United States
trade of the world, and If our land was
properly farmed. we could easily run
other countries out of the market. But
the old cotton patches of the shiftless
farmers must improve or disappear Other
cotton countries stand ready 10 increase
their cotton crop upon the slightest provo
cation. II was the war between the states
that made Egypt a cotton growing couu-
try of Importance. When the war was
closed our cotton ports to England the
Khedive of Egypt put out immense cotton
plantations, and between 1861 and 1865
the crop of Egyptian cotton increased
over 400 per cent. This sudden discovery
of the country's possibilities has worked
injury to our cotton industry ever since
Not only does Egypt supply a good deal
of the demand of the world for cotton
but we import some 100000 bales a year
ourselves
India has taken a similar start in cot
ton growing, and ii only needs some OPP
perfume moment to stimulate il 60 a Won
derful development. A war that would
interfere with our cotton growing, or a
sharp decrease in our cotton acreage so
that prices would advance a few cents a
pound, would be followed in India and
Egypt by doubling or trebling of the
acreage. The advantage thus gained
would require years to overcome. How
low cotton can go and yet prove profitable
is a problem that the future must decide
With new stimulus in our Far Eastern
trade relations Il may soon be found that
five-cent and even four-cent cotton will
prove a great boon to the South and, in
cidentally. to the country.

Binghamtons N. r. oet. rs.--Bingham-
ton has had it "Astor tramp" but. unlike
that unfortunate, he has found a friend
and probably a wife.
William doyie was a weary wanderer
who had spent the last eight months trav-
cling about the country in search of work
He had lost position in an Omaha foun-
dry and had worked his way East but for
the last three weeks had been without a
cent to buy food or railroad fare. He had
never been in Binghamton, and when he
jumped from a freight train near Lester
shire and walked 10 the city he was at
sea, but some one told him he could obtain
a nights lodging by applying to police
headquarters
To that thoroughfare Hoyle made his
way, half dead with the cold and loss Of
sleep. He mistook the Dairy Association
building for the police office, and mounted
the stairway, opening a door, expecting to
confront the night sergeant Instead he
saw a coZy bed in a dainty room, and,
concluding that this was the police lodg-
ing house, proceeded TO make himself at
hor:.e
F1oye was soundly sleeping in The bed
when the rightful occupant of the room
Miss Marie Hanna arrived. When she
discovered a man in her bed she shrieked
for help. The nose aroused Hoyle and he
attempted to explain, begging her not to
cause his arrest.
Suddenly Hoyle paused and exclaimed:
Marie, don't YOU know me? I'm William
Hoy!e, and I think you are Marie Hanna
We were children together in Cleveland"
Then a flood of recollection swept over
Miss Hanna, and she was as anxious to
protect her visitor as she had been to cause
his arrest When the assistance she had
summoned arrived. the woman refused 70
call the police and gave the man some
funds to procure a lodging.
The next day he found a situation, and 1t
is now announced that the queerly united
couple will soon be married.
