FARMERS TO HOLD COTTON.

The farmers of Spalding county.
Georgia, held meeting a few days ago
and resolved not to put the present crop
of cotton on the market for a price less
than eight cents per pound. 1t would
be well if the farmers everywhere, either
in public meetings or in private, would
resolve not to rush the cotton crop to
market, thereby glutting the market ami
helping the bears to keep down the price
of the staple. Most of the surplus cot
ton ON hand is of such low grades rs to
be valuable only for coarse fabrics. The
mills viii soon Geed cotton If the farm
ers will hold it at their homes or ware
houses, they can force the price up 10
something like a fair price.
North Carolina farmers will do well to
follow the example of the wise Georgia
farmers.

NOT A PART OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Hon. b. f. Grady, of Turkey, does not
think the 18th, 18th and 18th amend
incnts to the Federal Constitution are
binding upon the States because they
were not ratified as contemplated by law
Here is short communication upon that
line from his pen that appeared in the
Springfield Republican of Thursday:
TO the Editor:
i saw few days ago AN extract from
your paper, commenting on the proposed
amendment TO the constitution Of North
Carolina, in which you suggest Il repeal
of the 10th amendment 1t is a good sug-
gestion, but repeal is not the word; ig-
more should be substituted. The 13tB,
14th and 10Th amendments We're never
submitted to- the States by constitutional
methods-two-thirds of each house did
not mean two-thirds of the Northern
Congress- We're they ratified as con-
templated by the States when they entfr-
ed into the Union The 10Th, for exam
pie was proposed by the Congress Of the
% Northern States, and ratified by Is
States land II military despotisms in the
South.) But eonstitutionally there were
SO States, and Is is only half, instead Of
three-fonrths. 1t is therefore constitu-
tionftily no part of the constitution, and
should be so treated. 1t has done mis-
chief enough, and even the malignants
who forced it into the constitution ought
to be satiated with the punishment they
have inflicted on the rebels" Let Ike
States manage the question Of suffrage
as they did till malignant fanatics de-
stroyed the Union of the Constitution.

TWO SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

During the first two months of the
present fiscal year the government has
expended S1O2, 500 090.33, of which SOL
TOT, 1881 has gone for the support of
the civil government and all the rest,
$40, 159, $40. 64-has gone to the support
of the army and the payment of pen
sions. We are spending four dollars for
war and war burdens to one dollar for
civil expenses. Are the people really
for such a burden of militarism?
The Buffalo Express calls attention to
the fact that our taxes are taking ON a
new form. Formerly most of the tax
was raised from custom duties.
For the first two months of the new
fiscal year the receipts from the tariff
were S37, 51S, 1913, while the receipts
from the indirect taxes of the internal
revenue were y52, $50, 61396.

RE. ME:DY.
FEARFULLY BURNED.

In April, 1898, my little girl was fear
fully burned by her clothes catching
fire. Her whole face was terribly burn
ed. We had but little hopes of her e
covery, as it yielded to medical treatment
to the extent of being apparently cured,
but in a short time the sores would again
break out, become red and intlamed and
perfectly raw. We tried different treat
ments for three months, and then deter
mined to try Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
in August At that time she had sores
as large as a silver dollar, and she suf-
fered terribly. She was so restless she
could get no sound sleep, and was not
able to eat solid food, or grease of any
kind Her condition was indeed piteable.
Her mouth was burned so that it was
perfectly raw as far down the throat
as we could see. After commencing the
Remedy i'm August. she was soon got SO
she could eat solid food and anything
else she wanted, could sleep we'll at night,
and the sores soon entirely healed. She
had not taken bottle before they heal
ed, and she has been well ever since,
though badly SCARED from the burn.
/ have used it myself for indigestion,
and cannot say too much i'm its praise.
Ny little girl loved to take the Remedy,
and craved it. We use it as a family
medicine for our children, and it always
gives satisfaction.

pass a service pension bill, giving
pension to every man who served m the
war. The President would not veto that
or any other measure that would take
money out of the pockets of the many
and put it in the hands of the few.
While there have been many advocates
of a service pension, they are now to be
relegated to the shade of Col. J. Frank
Supplee, a member of the firm of Hodges
and Brothers, of Baltimore Col. Sup
plee was called upon to address the Fed
eral veterans at Baltimore few days
ago and the American quotes him as
saying:
1.-THE debt of gratitude which the ma
ton owes you mem is so great that a PEN
sion-list reaching to the sun could never
pay. 1t was due to the loyal men of
Maryland that the line of battle was
the otomac and not the Susquehanna.
and the field of conflict Virginia and not
maryland. The difference between the
men who fought for the preservation of
tue Union and those who fought against
it is the difference between heaven and
hell There remains this fact-that one
man was right and another wrong"
The G.. A. II. will never be satisfied
until Congress is made up of men like
Col Supplee who viii have a ''pension
list reaching to the sum-" and who would
also let it reach to the daughters, grand
daughters and all descendants to the re-
hottest generation.
We make no comment upon Col. Sup
plee's comparison sof the difference be-
tween the men who wore the gray and
the men who wore the blue. The verdict
OF history is that both were brave ana
both fought for the right as God gave
them to see the right. The man who
uses language like that used by Col. Sup
piee IN this day and this hour writes
himself down as enc unfit to have been
follower of the great soldier whose last
wish was "Let us have peace"
