FARMERS AND COTTON.

We call the attention of the Southern
farmers to the fact that the slump in cot
ton did not come until after the crop had
passed out Of the hands of the producers
The farmers received good prices; it was
the spectators who were caught in the
slump.
Many of the farmers have the idea, or
at least one would think so from what
they have said, that the price of cotton
is controlled by the spectators n Wall
Street They have complained sorely in
the past that the spectators kept cotton
down until the farmers had sold heir cot
ton and then put the price up, thus MAX
ing big profits for themselves at the e,,-
pense of the men who grow the staple.
But when cotton futures tumble l25 points
in a single day, after the crop has all
been marketed. and when one firm Of cot
ton brokers goes to the wall by reason Of
the slump, with liabilities Of 600, it
ought at least to raise in the mind OF the
intelligent farmer the question as to
whether or not the SPECTATORS do, in fact,
control the price of cotton.

CREWE, VA, May 25.-Special.-In the

that has ever been made in this town, and
the result was close.
Several weeks ago the temperance people
of the town presented petition to the
Town Council asking them to refuse to
grant a certificate for liquor licenses for
the year, which began May 1st The pet-
ton contained a large majority OF the
registered voters of the town. but the
Council refused to comply with their re-
quest, and granted the license certificates.
This created a determination on the part
of the sgners of that petition to elect
Council who would hereafter refuse to
grant license certificates.
The Council consists of nine members,
ard after its election appoints the other
officers OF the town, so the ''Wets" nomi-
mated nine men and the "Drys' nominated
nine men. with the above result
The election passed off very peaceably,
not a single personal difficulty occurring

A CALL Fol, STATESMEN.

One of the main charges against the
present Constitution Of Virginia is that
il was not made by representative Viz
baggers. Il has been said time ana
again by advocates of a constitutional
Convention shat the time has come for
yirginians 10 repudiate that Constitution
and to have a Constitution made by them
selves. That is ali well enough, but let
us be sure that the right sort OF VIZ
ginians are selected to go to the conVen-
ton, which has now been called, for
otherwise we may have worse Con-
stitution than that now in existence. Nir-
sinians are capable of making a better
Constitution than the Underwood produce
ton, but if the capable and patriotic
men are kept at home, and incompetent.
self-seeking politicians sent to the con-
vention We need not expect any i'm
prove,nent in the organic law of this
State.
In the Constitutional Convention of 1929
there sat the very pick Of Virginia's best
sons. There were William b. Giles, of
Amelia: Benjamin Watkins Leigh, OF
Chesterfield: Samuel Taylor, of Chester
field: William II BrodnaX, Of Dinwiddie;
George C. Dromgoole, of Brunswick;
Mark Alexander, of Mecklenburg; John
Marshall (Chief Justice Of the United

James Monroe, of Loudoun: John S.
Barbour, OF Cuipeper; Littleton W. Taze-
well. of Norfolk; Archibald Stuart, of
Patrick, and so on and so on.
Virginians knew that it was a delicate
and difficult task TO frame a Constitution.
and so they selected the very best men in
the whole State. Let US follow their
example IN choosing delegates to the con-
vention that is now TO be held. There
IS an abundance of good material in the
State Of Virginia if the people will only
utilize it Il is most serious thing to
blot out the organic law OF the State and
write Il anew. But the danger will be
reduced to the minimum if we select
statesmen to do the work.

PAGE M'CaRTY.

In the death of Captain Page A1cCarty
one Of Virginia's most interesting charac-
tiers passes away He belonged to another
age and to another school of journalism.
In his time the so-called newspaper was
the personal organ of the editor. the me-
dunn through which he talked from day
to day to his constituents about persons
and politics. The editor was the paper
and news counted for little as compared
with the weightier matter on the inside.
The editor of such a paper must be a
trained politician, a fluent writer, and
skilful debater. He must be aggressive,
ever seeking a discussion with his oppo-
nents, and always ready to defend him
self, his paper or his party with pen OF
sword, as the occasion might demand.
Captain McCarty was well-equipped
editor of that school. He was brilliant,
he was cultivated, he was fluent, witty
and brave. He loved his work and en-
loved it, but modern journalism was too
tame for him, and he found no pleasure
in it.
AS soldier he was gallant and courage
Gus and true to the great principle for
which the South fought.
AS man he was sociable, brilliant in
conversation, affable, kind-hearted, affec-
tionate. and true to his friends.
He outlved his day, yet there are not
wanting those who hold him in affection
ate remembrance and who will put a
wreath of rosemary and forget-me-nots
upon his grave.

thing Of supreme Importance to the prop

through the efforts OF the voters to secure

interests OF the city
This was timely speech. and we have
reproduced the substance of 1t as well as
our memory serves us, and have given 1t
a conspicuous publication because we
would impress the truth and importance
of his remarks on the Richmond public.
a municipality, as has been SO often
said. is largely business corpora ton and
Ats affairs should be carried on in busi-
ness-likc manner. There should be as III
tie as possible of partisan politics and
political methods in municipal government.
When the stockholders of a business
corporation meet to select the men who
shall conduct IT'S affairs. they make their
choice on the merit system. They choose
the men who, they believe, will best sub
serve the company's interest, and that is
the rule that should govern in municipal
elections. When public servant has
shown himself to be faithful and efficient,
his services should be retained regardless
-pav q
public servant has shown that he is inef1i-
cient and unfaithful, he should not be per-
;nitted TO remain in office through his
political pull. In a word. as Major Alien
pointed out, if the citizens Of Richmond
would pay the same attention to municipal
affairs as the members of the Richmond
Carnival Association paid to its affairs,
we would have the best possible govern
ment at the lowest possible cost.

With the exception of the savage noun

they would have to abandon forever their

says: The most serious obstacle in the

the troops and the inhabitants. This,
believe, will disappear after each class

from an intimate relationship with the

out for the troops will be greatly facili-

find that the troops have come to stay,

It is evident that we have made great
progress in restoring order in the islands,
and if there is no relaxation In our ef-
forts our task will soon be completed.
We do not think it the part of a good
citizen to endeayor to embarrass the ad-
ministration in this stage of the case.
