gfa thus explains the situation: T know farmers who sold their cotton seed, and bought guano. I did myself. Cotton seed went up from 12k cents to 24 cents per bushel. A man cannot use them for fer tilizer when they are so valuable. It is wiser for him to sell the cotton seed and buy guano. You cannot afford to put 24 cents. cotton seed under Accent corn. Nor can you afford to use cotton seed for fer tilizlng If you can sell them for more than 12h cents per bushel. Therefore, the far mers are putting less cotton seed under their crops this season and using guano in stead"
 This view of the case is strengthened by the statements that come from Texas to the effect that no evidence of an increase in acreage can be detected in that state. Texas does not use fertilizers. No increase of acreage, it is admitted, is contemplated in that state; and what the Texas farmer would be likely to do the Georgia or Ala bama farmer would be likely to do. It is therefore possible that the increased sales of fertilizer tags are due, not so much to a wild desire to plant more cotton, as to in- ordinate sales of cotton seeds at the high prevailing prices.
 The truth is, the farmer does not act upon the spur of the moment. He makes his plans in the fall for the coming year; and plans were largely formed for this years crop long before cotton went up to or towards 10 cents. As rule they were made when cotton was selling near the farm at about half of that price. It Is not well then to assume as a mathematfcally demonstrated fact the statement that a bumper crop is about to be planted. The conditions of labor and of farm stock and of credit do mot justify any such conclus- ion. and the best evidence from Texas does not support 1t. There will not be cotton famine, neither will there will be cotton glut. A ten-nflliou crop is the safer guess of the moment.

JUDGE WILLIAM RICHARDSON

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 In an account of a proposed meeting of the local chapter of the University Alum ni association, called for the purpose ol recommending a trustee to succeed Judge Richardson, the following paragraph ap- Peared in the Sunday Mercury:
 Judge Richardson, it Is understood, does not want the position any longer, and the chapter wih recommend the appointment of some Madison couty graduate of the university.
 It is simple justice to Judge Richard son to state that he has consistently re- fused to discuss the matter of his reap. pointment, as he has all university mat ters. He has not declined to serve, neither has he asked a re-appointment.

 Lots of women save all their classic music for other people and love their husbands in rag-time,
 The average man has an idea that being kind to his wife only means not being un- kind to her.
 Every woman has two or three souvenirs that she has had so long she can't remem- Der who gave them to her.
 The main trouble with the world is that people are always old enough to guess be- fore they are old enough to know.

Henderson's Graceful Compliment

Speaker Henderson, says Leslies Week. ly is extremely quick at repartee-almost as noted in this regard as his predecessor His shafts, however, lack the biting irony of MT. Reeds, and he never makes a point at the expense of wounding some one. At one of Mrs. Henderson's recent receptions there were among the visitors two sisters whose striking resemblance to each other and their mother is widely commented upon.
 How much Mrs. x and Miss w. look alike" remarked the speaker to Mrs. Hen derson.
 (Which is the hardsomer?' spoke up some one standing near by, much to the embarrassment of the women. Quick as a flash Mir Henderson turned to the mother of the women in question, a noted belle in her time, and still a woman of much beau ty.
 Their mother is more beautiful than either said the speaker gallantly.
