RIGHTS OF SirRIK ERS.

In Il recent issue of the San Francisco

strikers. in which the following para
graph appeared:

In other words, to make it good rule,
it must work both ways.

The collector and the stenograpner
are fellow boarders and fast friends
They are also given to practical joking
and indulgence in whimsicalites and
other dangerous drinks.
In one of his Whimsical moods the
collector went home one night last week
and found the stenographer and q inu-
tual friend in the room. He locked
upon the luxurious growth Of hair that
covered the stenoghapher's head ana
coveted it.
"What'l! you take for the hair?" ne
asked.

Turning to the friend who was re-

that he Was accustomed to collect wi,;.1

Well, the cotton crop estimate grad
ually gets lower and lower. 1t has
simmered down from Neils estimate
OF II, 100000 bales to ii 900, 900 then
ten and half, then ten, and they
are still guessing. AS it is all guess
work so far we consider We have
about as much right to guess as any
body and here goss-We predict that
the cotton crop this year will be in
the neighborhood of nine and half
million bales. We began advising
our farmers the first OF August, while
cotton was bringing only five cents,
to hold back for higher prices, as we
firmly believed that cotton would
bring from Z to s cents. Our predic-
tion has been verified in this Instance
rs cotton is bringing e with every
indication Of q still higher price. We
still believe S cents Will be reached
We believe that when the final re-
turns come in the yield will not show
over o million bales.

After showing tabulated state
ment Of the per cent. of gain in the
number of bales Of cottn spun by the
South over that Of the North for the
last 20 years, the Louisville Courier
Journal predicts that within the next
five years the South will manufacture
more than half the cotton spun in
the United States and that in fifteen
years it will manufacture as much as
all the rest Of America and Europe
combined. There must be money in
the Southern mill business-where
the cotton grows-if mills in the
Southeast area of Lancashire, Eng
land, can buy their cotton over here,
transport it by rail to the coast, then
ship 1900 miles across the ocean,
and manufacture it at such profit as
to declare from Z to Is per cent. divi-
dend, and that is what has been done
by fifty or more miles over there.
