Now that about 80 per cent. of the
South's cotton crop has passed out Of
the hands of the producer, the specu-
lators have taken hold of the market
and are giving it rapid whirl upward.
The farmer has forced the spinner to
pay good price for the staple all the

having sold out. He can now turn his
attention to the next crop and let the
spectators and spinners fight over the
remnant of the old. 1t is especially
advisable for the South to keep out Of

Sunday morning Joe Porter, colored,
who stays at the A. K. & n. Railroad

lighted cigar stump into a spittoon con-

way Of winning the favor of those
whose opinion is worth most by deserv-
ing it.
Gentlemen, treat the candidate
kindly. He has sorrows enough with

depart happy-to agree later on with
what David said in his haste-that "all
men are liars"

ness is assured.

ferred with church attendance. How
ever, there was a large attendance at

and received benefits from it also.
1t is more than likely that Hon.
Flem DuBignon will oppose Senator
Bacon for the U. S. Senate. Mr..
