What Will 1t Do?


There is no question in which the
cotton planters are so much interested
just ROW as the pr.ce of cotton today
and the probable puce during the sea-
son which is just commencing. The
Houston Texas Post, paper that has
given q good deal Of thoughts and at
tcntion to the subject, has this to say;
Cotton is today selling sc higher
than at this time last year, and there is
Il general belief that further advance
will soon be recorded,
Certain it is that the predictions of an
enormous crop are no longer given any
credence whatever, and Mr.. Neill with
his $4,000, 600 bale prophecy is now
without followers either at home or
abroad. IT is generally Admitted that
the crop will he considerably less than
last year, while many conservative cot
ton men are not counting upon II yield
in excess of TO- O00, 900 bales.
Should this latter estimate prove cor
rect the price of cotton will undoubted-
ly go much higher. 1t is true that there
was an immense surplus carried over
from last season, but it should be re
memhered that the mllsot the world
are today using an enormous amount
of the staple, and that the ronsumptive
demand this year promises 10 be by far
the greatest ever known.
The American mills have begun the
season with rush of orders,a and bought
20, 600 bales more Of cotton last week
than for the same week last year. Ex-
ports to foreign countries have not been
very large recently. but this is attribut.
ed to the fact that buyers in Europe
and the continent We're relying upon
Nlr Neill's crop and had the impression
that by holding off they could bny the
staple much cheaper, The eagerness
Win WDlcn Ille AMERICAN hplulltIs are
taking the new crop at present prices,
and the refusal of holders to make any
concessions has Mt last convinced them
that the cotton is not to be sold mt auc-
tion this year. and they are beginning
to place their orders.
Should the wcrld's consumption OF
American cotton increase this season nj
the same ratio that it did last year, the
mills will need between lO5, ,0OO, 900 and
II 900, 900 bales. This would doubtless
mean the taking of every bale of the
present crop and probably consider
able amount of the old stock would dis
appear from the visible supply. Such
demand would put the crop in very
healthy condition indeed, and would
insure the farmer much better prices
for his staple than have been obtained
for the last two or three years.
There Is every reason 10 believe that
5.cent cotton will not be recorded thi.
season, while the actual conditions OF
supply AID demand would seem to just
ify 7-cent values.

JUDGE POWELL FOR GOVERNOR.


Referring to Judge Powells an
nouncement as candidate for Gov
ernor, the Jackson News says:
For some time it has been known
that Judge Powell has had ambition in
the direction of the governors Office
and his formal announcement will be
no surprise to the public. Judge Pow
ell is a native Mississippian. He was
educated at the university, graduated
in both the law and literary depart
ments. There is probably no Judge in
Mississippi who has made finer record
than Judge Powell. He was appointed
three years ago, and during that time
has given eminent satisfaction both to
the people and the bar. He has prob
ably had more difficult legal PROPOSE
tlons to wrestle with than any judge
IN the State. Being in the capital dis
trlct he has had more difficult test
cases to decide than any other judge.
1t is the boast of his friends that he has
been reversed but five times. Judge
POWELL is genial, social gentleman,
who has made success of his own
affairs. He has some clear cut ideas
ABOUT how the State government should
be run and he will give the people an
opportunity of judging as to the sound
ness of his ideas.
Judge Powell is popular in Jackson
and there are large number of infiu-
entail men who will support him in
preference to any gentleman who has
yet announced.

BIG SPRINGS.


What a change time has wrought in
this community, eight or ten miles east
% Rrookhaven. 1t was several years
since we had the pleasure of visiting
,h;s section until during Christmas
woek and, oh, my! New roads, new
fences, new houses, fat horses, Jersey
COWS. Jersey hogs, bird dogs, breech-
leaders. top buggies, good school
bonse and a good school. We thought
if we knew the way to any place on
earth it was to our friend and brothers,
cbipman Miller's, but after about three
niles rambling we decided that under
tho new order Of things we didn't know
the way to Miller's or anywhere else in
that region. Why, when we travelled in
that section in days agone, we passed
bv the home of of "Bake" Smith, who
lived in an humble cottage with small
fields cleared up around, but that cot
tage has given place to a commodious
residence, beautifully painted, and
those patches have grown into vast ex-
tended fields and really it seems that
Bake" has cleared up everything in
sight. Time would fail us to tell Of
Bro. Miller's beautifully painted res
idence, Jersey cows, bird dogs, Jersey
hogs, etc. Ten years ago such thing
as school was scarcely thought of in
that section, but today they have a
most excellent school, known as the
"Big Springs School," which is being
successfully taught by one of Lincoln
countys model teachers, Miss Lou
Mason. who has recently succeeded in
raising a sufficient amount of money
from her patrons to purchase fine
school library, and there is strong
educational breeze in that community
which seems to be sweeping them on
toward the top of the hill. Brother
Miller has son Whose name we fail
to recalD who is reaching up after the
top round, and is now attending COM
mercial college in Nashville, Tenn.
In some communities they failed to
have their contemplated Christmas
tree because of much red liquor, and
the childrens hearts we're made sad,
but not so at Big Springs. On Christ
mas-eve night the house was filled to
overfowing and perfect order prevail
ed while Santa Claus came and dis
tributed many valuable presents to the
happy children, and all parties went
away rejoicing that they lived in
section where fathers were not living
upon such low plane as to spend
their money for jugs of whisky rather
than buy that which would bring joy
and gladness to the hearts of their
children.
On our return home from Big Springs
when it began to be about 12 o'clock it
was our good fortune to fall into the
hands of our old, true and tried friends,
Vernon Smith and wife, in the Union
Hall neighborhood, and we were soon
tangled up in the fragments of fat
gobbler that had been badly wrecked on
the previous day by Carroll Bardwell
and others. Bro. Smith expressed re-
grets that we we're not with him for
dinner on the day previous, but we
told him that we were truly thankful
for our absence, for if we had been on
hand there would not have been any of
that gobbler left for the present occa-
sion. Bro. Smith is staunch friend of

A NEW HOTEL.
Mr.. PeIton is Willing to Invest Money in

1. A. Pelton stands ready to build
new hotel on the site OF the present
Minneopa House, but does not want
to go into the venture alone. He
says that IL some good hotel man
would 60 in with him and take a half
interest, or even put no money into it
but lease the property for series of
years, he would furnish money. In
case this cannot be done, he is willing
to take S., 900 or $4,000 stock in no.
tel, the balance to be taken by bust
ness men. Mr.. Pelton would like to
see hotel built, but he does not de-
sire to make heavy investment and
then have it on his hands, as he does
not care to operate the hotel himself.
Negotiations with a New Ulm man to
take the proposed new hotel are off.

is nearly completed. He has had

MORE RAILROAD RUMORS.

NOR that is current in Glencoe, based

kee surveyors are now in Glencoe
awaiting orders from Genl Mgr. Earl

pect orders at any minute to proceed to
Hutchinson and survey a line north

lief that if there are engineers in Glen
cloe on waiting orders, the southern

Journal says, Talk has been revived
that the Milwaukee would extend it's
Mankato branch from Mankato to Glen
coe or some other point on it's Hastings
& Dakota branch, thereby giving peo-
pie in the big bend of the Minnesota a
direct line to Minneapolis. President
