''Tho steady rise of farm products is
in sympathy with the increased value Of
other commodies,' says the Louisville
Couricr-J Journal, "continucs to bc a no.
table feature of the markets. The most
striking Of all, perhaps, is in cotton,
which has advanced about SIG on the 800
pound bale. The increased price Of the
great Southern staple has come when the
cotton planter had almost dcspaircd of
ever seeing tho quotations again reach
lucrative figures" 1t has also como when
the cotton planter has parted with about
all his cotton, so that the lucrative fig
urcs do not mean much lucrc for him.
Sympathy" with the increased value Of
other commodities, moreover, has moth
ing to do with the case of tho "risc" i'm
prices. There arc no trusts to boost the
prices Of farm products. Supply and de-
mand regulate the market for thom.
Cotton has gone up because the crop is
short. No amount Of "sympathy' would
have saved a ll,0O0,0Oo crop from five

More Dangerous than Federal Bullets.

1t is said that when Stonowall Jackson
was once asked ry brother officer to
join him in social glass, he replied
"No, thank you; never 'isc it. am
more afraid Of it than Federal bullets"
And hc was right about it. In tho first
place, tho chances were greater that he
would be killed by tho glass if ho touch
cd it than that ho would be killed by
Federal bullets. In tho second place,
tho bullets could only kill the body,
while tho glass destroys for time and
eternity. 'Ic fell a victim, not to FEEDER
al bullets, but by a most unfortunate
accident to Confederate bullets, but on
his dcathbcd he could say, "Lct us pass
over the river and rest under the shade
Of the trees" Had he fallen Il victim tC
tho soc.l glass he could not have uttered
that beautiful sentiment, but rather Inc
would have gone out with rawlings and
