A LESSON IN MoEALS.-All honor
to Mark Twain Six years ago the
publishing house of Charles l.. Web
ster x Co., of which Mr.. Clemens was
the financial sponsor, failed, owing
something over 5000 900. Mr.. Clemens
left America for England with the pur-
pose Of laboring to pay that debt. Now
the brave humorist and author has re-
turned with the debt fully pad and the
sublime consciousness that he has re-
Quilted a sclf-imposcd moral obligation.
When he went away, he wrote from
Vancouver, "Thc law recognizes no
mortgage on a mains brain, and Il mcr-
chant who has given up all he has may
take advantage of the laws of insol
vency, and start free again for himself.
But | am not a business man, and
honor is a harder master than the law.
III never compromises for less than one
hundrC cents on the dollar, aud its
debts never outlaw" After he started
on his lecture our he added these cX-
QuisItc lines 81 meant, when | be-
gan, to give my creditors all The benefit
OF this, but am beginning to feel that
| am gaining something from it, too,
and that my DIVIDEND if not available
Tor banking purposes, may be even
more satisfactory than theirs" And
now, with the debt paid, and the gains
of a good conscience gathered into his
own heart, he returns at siXty-thrcc
years of age to begin life again, I'M
soilcd by memory of any wrong, an
upright, happy man. In this age of
scliishness and commerclalism he has
taught the world a lesson that will bear
fruit.

TIE COTTON GROWERS PRO-
TECTIVE ASSOCIATION AND ITS
WORK.

President Harvie Jordan, of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Association.
has cilled a meeting Of the cotton
farmers and business men of the South
to be held in Macon, Ga, November
10th and 2lst, "for the purpose of de-
vising and discussing the best ways
and means of securing to the cotton
producers o fair price for the cotton
crop each year." The Cotton Growers
Protective Association has q field en-
tirely its own, not conflicting with any
existing farmers organization and we
believe, can he made of untold benefit
to Southern cotton farmers.
The Cotton Growers Association
has in view the accomplishment of but
one specific purpose; that Of obtaining
a fair and just price for our cotton and
cotton seed products. The method of
work is based upon sound business
principles, and seeks the active CO.
oleratlon Of every line of business in
the South with the farmer towards the
accomplishment of the object which it
las in view. In the first place, it is
proposed to introduce new systems in
WV eobtoh Slopo vi Ilc DOuUn,
so that every producer may receive his
just share in the profits of this great
staple. To that end, it is proposed to
obtain correct statistical information
in regard to the movement of the crop
during harvesting period; ascertain
through the most reliable sources first,
the probable amount of cotton to be
produced, and secondly, secure absolute
information as to the exact size of the
crop at the close of the ginning season.
These statistics will be secured from
the producers themselves, and will be
far more reliable than any which have
been heretofore obtained through local
correspondents for use by the spccula-
tor. These statistics will be tent in
weekly to the headquarters of each
State bureau, and from there forward
ed to the central bureau and consolid-
ated. Ginners throughout the South
will become members of the association,
and through them, 1t is expected to
obtain information in regard to the
weekly movement of the crop, and ex-
act size of crop Immediately UPON close
OF ginning season. GinnersS will be

LIE WHEAT CROr.-Thc American
Agriculturist is good authority on the
grain crops of the United States. There
nave Dcen many pcrverse conditions
which reduced what promised at seed
ing to be the largest crop this country
had ever made. The winter wheat
covered $4,000, 900 acres and a heavy
yield was promised. But there was
partial failure IN Ohio, Michigan and
Indiana, caused by the Hcssian lly.
Washington reports the highest yield
per acre which is PAP bushels; Okla
homa 1870; Oregon Is; Nebraska IS;
kansas 1919; Texas 10. The aver
age winter wheat for all the States is
IL bushels to the acre. The spring
wheat acreage was 1872 900 and the
average yield was 1912 bushels. Wash
ington led in spring wheat production,
lS.5 bushels per acre. Much of the
wheat was damaged by unfavorablc
weather. The estimated decrease COM
pared with last year is 30 ,000, 900 bush
els and with 1896, 205 900 900. Con-
sumers need not look for cheaper flour
and they may expect a poor article now
and then. This report being depend

belt of this State to SOW enough TO
