Speculative Farming.

A custom is sometimes as difficult
of cure as a cancer The one may
sap the economic life as disastrously
as the other saps the physical life, and
the patient in the one case may resist
radical treatment as stGbbOrnly as in
the other case. The aii-cOttOn custom
with the great majority OF our south
ern farmers presents such situation.
For more than thirty years the wis
est and most obscrvant men interest
ed in southern progress and prosper
ity have argued and warned against
the fateful practice. They have pre-
sented the logical and often demon
strated effects of any southern farmer

their iteration has become as the bur
den of the grasshOpper.
Yet the fatuOus business repeats it.

of 1901 has been one Of emphatic sig

scan the daily market reports in the
cotton column TO know who is getting
scalped.
The seasons crop is short 650. 900

bring continuous prosperity and finan-

There is no risk in saying that there

The Case of Miss Stone.

The persistent reports that Miss

serious alarm and TO lead To the ques-
ton: Has this government done all
IL should have done for these unioi-
t,lnate women? They were captured
on September 6. three months ago.
and il does not seem that they would
have been held and properly cared for
so long by men who were cruel and

chances in coming forward TO restore
their captives and to receive the ran

The brigands might have feared that
they would fall into the hands of the
law and may have acted upon the
plan of the thief who drops his plum

noIice. The capture of these women
was an enterprise offering many
