The man who says a good word

The man who says a good word
for his town, and encourages all
movements of enterprise and
progress, is worth more to his
ncighbors than hundred of those
antiquated oss.backs who make
it a business to run down and
SANDER every movement for
public good and stands as a
stumbling block in the way of
progress.-Mt. Pleasant Chr0ni'
Gle.
We are proud to say that our
town is coming, not like that OF
others, "with a BOOM" but con.
:inues to grow. The non-enter-
prising man, the moss-back man,
or any other kind of man who
may oppose enterprises cannot
longer live in this world of"grow."
His days are of but few in this
progressive age. He must step
down and out, even he be great or
small, the time has come when he
is but naught. That which he
advocates is dangerous to the
classes and death to the masses.

TO THE COTTON FARMERS.

The time will soon arrive for the
marketing of the next cotton crop
and unless n change is made as to
the mode of doing it the same low
level of prices that were current
last year will inevitably be the re-
suit. 1t is q well establi shed fact
that large port and interior receipts
during the months of September,
October and November are the
great factors in making prices, and
it is in your power to prevent this
as You have the remedy in your
own hands which is to hold back
on your farms one.third of your
ginnings until after December or
January. The two.thirds will
bring nearly as much money mar.
keted in this way as the whole
crop marketed in the usual way.
In doing this you will not be
deprlving the mel chants or bankers
to whom you are under obligations
of what they are justly entitled to,
but On the other hand, protecting
almost their salvation as well as
your own.
The government says the acreage
in cotton lands is eight per cent
less than last year and that the
July condition is 3 4 three four
tenths) per cent less, or a total de-
probation of la eleven four
tenths) per cent.
Estimating the current crop at
100000 bales it means a shrink
age of 1,277,OO0 bales, or a crop of
9,923,OO0 bales for 1S99.19O0.
Notwithstanding all this, and
the further fact that the cotton
mills throughout the country are
making profits ranging from 20 to
40 per cent, mighty efforts are
being made to create the impress
sion that the crop will he an enor-
nous one, with the view Of get
ing your cotton cheap and it is
you to determine whether the
greedy spinner will succeed.
You will be assailed by the willy
Spectator with all kinds of argu-
nents to prevent you from hold
ing your cotton, but it is your only
weapon and your financial saliva
ton depends upon its use.
We will keep this appeal promi.
nently forward in our columns and

su,e symptoms Of Democracy.

To illustrate the position of one OF
the great nationa. parties during a
campaign noted for its fiery partisan
ship, Mr., Depew tells this story Of
the youthful politician and the wood
chuck, relates the Saturday Evening
Post.
'sThe tutor in one of the smaller
schools near my native town of Peeks
kill had drilled a number of his
brightest scholars in the history OF
contemporary politics, and to test
both their faith and their knowledge
he called upon three of them one day
and demanded declaration of per
sonal political principles:
"'You are a republican, Tom, are
you not?'
a. Yes, SIR
"'And, Bill, you are prohibition.
ist, 1 believer
i am, sir
"'And Jim, you are democrat 9
"'Yes, sir
"'Well, now, the one of you that
can give me the best reason why he
belongs to his party can have this
woodchuck, which l Icaught on my
way to school this morning
i am republican, said the first
boy, because the republican party
saved the country in the war and
abolished slavery
"'And, Bill, why are you a prohi.
bitionists'
"'I am prohibitionist,' said the
second youth, because rum is the
country's greatest enemy, and the
cause of our oyercrowded prisons and
poorhouses.'
Excellent reasons, Bill, remarked
the tutor, encouragingly. Now, why
are you democrat, Jimg'
"'Well, sir,' was the slow reply, Il
am democrat because | want that
woodchuck.'
And he got it, too" added Mr.
Depew.

Colorado Sugar.

The first carload of sugar manu-.
factured in Colorado reached Denver
from Grand junction on Friday and
was quickly disposed of to the retail
grocers. The product is said to be
of superior quality, and distinguishe d
by extraordinary fneness, whiteness
and sweetness The factory at Grand
junction is expected to be kept in
continual operation from now on and
will require the product of about
1000 acres to supply it with raw ma
terisl. In addition TO the Grand
Junction factory arrangements have
been completed for the establishment
OF another large sugar mill at Rocky
Ford and another is contemplated
for town on the line of the Missouri
Pacific Altogether Colorado con.
sumes sugar annually to the value OF
about Sl,5o0,000, and there is No
good reason why all of this should
not be produced within our borders
besides a surplus for export The
abundant sunshine, the quality of the
soil and the absolute control of the
water supply give Colorado an ad
vantage in sugar beet growing which
will enable her to keep ahead OF all
competition.-The Colorado Spring.
