NEITHER END THEIRS.
Farmers Have COmpIetely Lost
Control of the Market.

The farmers are just now being free
ly advised to hold their cotton for ten
cents pound. All of them would like
to do this if they could. but can they :?
Haven't they too completely relin-
ouished hold of the string that controls
the market for them to have any influ-
ence in the matter? Are they not too
much at the mercy of the buyer of
what they sell as well as the seller of
what they buy for them to have any
say-so about what they shall get for
their products or pay for their sup
plies? In other words, they have hold
of neither end of the string of com
merce and how can they. therefore,
expect to pull it or keep the other fell
low who has both ends from pulling it
TO suit his own ends
This is a bad state of affairs, but it is
true, nevertheless. We have long won
dered how the farmers of the cotton
growing section especially have stood
up under it as long as they have. Peo-
pie engaged in no other line OF indus
try would think of or hope to exist,
much less. succeed, unless they had
control OF The prices of either what
they bought or sold they would hold
to one end of the string, and by that
means could keep the holder of the
other end in check. AS soon as they
found they could not do this they
would Quit the business, either from
| choice or necessity Echo.

TOAST IS DANGEROUS.
Physician Says Mckinley May
Have Been Killed by 1t.

A we'll known Savannah physician,
when asked what he thought about the
immediate cause Of President Mckin'
ley's death, replied that as soon as he
saw the announcement that the physl-
clans had given the president toast and
coffee he remarked that the patient
would never recover
Toast Is q dangerous thing to put
into an infamed stomach" he said.
"It Is one of the most fermentabIe
foods known. All twice cooked foods
are fermentable and toast is especially
so. President Mckinley would doubt
less have died anyway, but l fully be-
lieve that his end was FASTENED by the
iniudicious conduct of the physicians
in putting toast into his stomach. =
