fact that his work is in natures great

But while the farmers life is cast

ing birds, his lot is not always the
best.
The drop in cotton below the cost OF
production brought about a condition
which called for decisive and heroic
remedy. Facing the situation in Sep
TENDER last, tho Telegraph said
1.-The Telegraph declared two years
ago that the south would never see
old-time high prices for cotton again ;
that the increase IN production not
only in the south but in other parts of
the world had ontstripped the increase
in demand; that the southern farmer,
therefore, must learn TO produce at a
smaller cost or go out of the business,
at least as the principal money crop
rwo years more of experience and OBJ
servation confirm this view.
"It must be evident to those who
have been watching closely the trend
of things that the south is going
through transition period. We are
passing from one state to another.
This is the course of human Develop
ment under Divine guidance. 1t is the
order of nature.
Tie birds mott and their songs are
hushed for the time. They are saddest
then and refuse to sing; but "a ivlier

things. In The fullness Of time we
will emerge from the molten stage
full-fedged in new plumage. If you
would see the evidences of it look

it up, but it must go as leader.
"if we were called upon to say what

Probably no one thing, but many. A
diversity of the products of the soil.

beak assists in removing the old feath-
ers that the new NAV come. He pulls
them out and casts them at his feet,

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
President, II Asked, VIII Send Otis Big
Reinforcement.


Washington, June 19.-An influential
member of the cabinet makes the fcl-
lowing statement:
"The slightest intimation from Gener-
al Otis that he wants more troops in
addition to those he now has with him
and those who are to be sent to him
under the recent order will be followed
by prompt call for volunteers. There
will be no further parleying with Aguin-
aldo and his followers. and no let-up in
the aggressive campaign which General
Otis is conducting.
The president stands ready to call
for as many volunteers as may be necs-
esssary to subdue the Filipinos, and
there is every reason to believe that he
can secure without delay all the VOL
unteers he may call for. This is the
true situation as far as the admins
tration is concerned. and 1t is unfair
and unjust to charge the president with
a want Of aggressiveness in dealing
with this subject"
