Defying Facts.
iSouthern Farm Magazine of Baltimore ft
March,

iSouthern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for
March,
Signs are not wanting that the cotton
growers contemplate a greater acreage
in the staple this year than that last
year. These are most apparent in the
newer cotton-growing areas. In the
older sections they are not lacking, but
the farmers seem inclined to let we'll
enough alone and to continue to apply
the lessons which they learned in sor-
SOW. They have learned that there is
no surer way to disaster than to follow
a good price for cotton with an expan-
sion Of planting operations. They have
learned, too, that a man who makes
cotton his SURPLUS crop and devotes
enough time aah work to raising his
own home supplies comes to look upon
liens Of merchants, debts at the cross
road store and mortgages as the night
mares of childhood. The men who have
learned these lessons we'll are rejoicing
in the knowledge that during the past
year they were able to hold their cotton
for a high price.

The Val Verde county(Tex.)N News very
sensibly remarks: "Lawlessness and
lawless methods are of no avail as eff
fective agents to down other forms Of
lawlessness. Mob law and lyncbing,
though they will always be practiced to
some extent when certain crimes are
committed are no cure for the evil.
Smashing saloons will not drive them
out. The remedy rests with the people,
hnt it will have TO come through an
enlightened and wholesome public sem
timent. II your people think right.
thep they will elect good men To make
their laws and honest and fearless men
to enforce them. And if the sentiment
of any community is strong enough,
that community can get practically
what it wants. Public sentiment and IL
respect for the law are the most power
ful factors in getting rid of joints and
dives, and in securing and preserving
good order and good government. All
other methods and means villas Il rule,
fail of the desired end, and produce a
