weather has been dry and hot.
At first but little attention was
paid to the lack of moisture, and
complaints were heard from only
a few sections. More recently,
and particularly during the past
few days, the complaints have
greatly increased, and they now
come from all portions of the
cotton belt. While it is not
claimed from any section that
serious damage has yet been
done, nevertheless the cotton
trade is warned that the cOndi-
ton of the plant is becoming
serious, and that unless the
drought is shortly relieved, the
present splendid conditions will
undoubtedly materially deteri-
crate.
Accompanying the dry spell,
there exists a very high temper
ature over the entire cotton belt.
In places in Texas and this State
the thermometer has reached
the century mark, and it is re-
ported that in several localities
in Louisiana the mercury has
reached 1O2 degrees. This high
temperature, coming on top of a
long dry spell, will only increase
the damage done by the drought
and make it more than ever ne
cessary that relief to be effective
should be immediate.
The natural result of the dry
weather news has been an ad-
vance in prices. Cotton is al
ready high, but not too high,
considering the statistical posi-
ton in the light of possible
deterioration in the early promise
of full crop for this season. A
full crop is actually needed this
year to supply the worlds wants
and replenish reserve stocks,
which are now remarkably low
and promise to close the season
with still greater scarcity ap
parent. Should the conditions
in the cotton belt so deteriOrate
as to render the prospect of
full crop for the coming season
dOu ubtful, then the strength of
the present situation will have
been greatly augmented.

to be established in Denver by
Lawrence G. Phipps, the Pitts
burg steel magnate, is a magni-
ticent gift to afflicted humanity,
whether it shall be accepted as a
charity for the poor or as an Op-
pOrtunity for the rich. The insti-
tuition is intended to be a mem
orial to Agnes Phipps, and the
founder could not have selected
a nobler form for the expression
of his love and honor for his
mother. The Phipps sanitarium
is not to be a purely charitable
institution, yet it will be open to
those without means. All that
money and scientific skill can ac-
complish will be offered to the
afflicted, and patients will pay
for their care in proportion to
their ability The institution
will be godsend to the rich as
well as to the poor.

What the Movement Really
Means.


Southern Education Notes.
In graphic account of the
educational conference held at
Athens. Ga, last month, John S.
Cohen, staff correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal, says:
Reduced to it's last analysis,
this Southern Educational con
ference, the coming of Mr..
Ogden and his party, simply
means that in the future the
money expended in the south
from outside sources for the
education of whites and blacks
will not be expended by gener-
Gus but misguided philanthro-
pistS, but by practical and
thoughtful men in the manner
devised by southern minds and
through agencies guided by
southern hands.
Nothing could be manlier or
finer than the attitude of these
northern men of means here to-
day.
AS one of them expressed it:
You have shown US that the
south is trying heroically to deal
not only with the negro, but
with great unprivileged masses
of its white population. You un-
derstand your own people and
your own problems as we do not.
This work is, therefore, yours
Take it and do it. In so far as
we can help you, we are at your
service. We have no desire to
meddle or Interfere. If you will
take the helm we will stand by
you, not as nOrtherners but as
fellow citizens of a common coun-
try.''
A nObler spirit could not be
breathed into language and none
need doubt that this CORRECTLY
the aims and mo-
tives of all these men. It is
neither charity nor pity that
they offer, but fraternity and
patriotism, and I much mistake
the temper of the people of the
South if they do not accept it as
such.
In proof that these are not
fine words these men of
mind and means have put their
work largely in the hands of
men-not impractical,
idle dreamerS, but those noble
spirits who unaided have been
battling for the education Of the
poorer classes of the south these
many years, with limited means
and oftentimes, sad to say, small

The SURRENDER Of the BOerS.

The treaty of peace with the
South African Beers, falls far
short of being the unconditional
surrender" which the Tory
ministers of Great Britain had
heretofore stubbOrnly de-
manded. Considered with refer
ence merely to that imperious
demand. it is not the Beers
alone that have surrendered,
but the British government as
well.
Yet it must be confessed that
in spite of the concessions which
the British have made upon
paper, their substantial victory
over the Beers is complete. Not
only do the two BOer republics
pass absolutely away with this
treaty, but the whole of South
Africa becomes British. At the
expense of cOnceding few CON
ditions, most of them only ver-
thereby dropping from their
high and lofty demand for "un-
conditional surrender, the
British government has accom-
plished the substantial object of
the war. The Beers have indeed
surrendered.
AS matter of sentiment-na-
tional, racial and republican,
they surrendered abjectly by
acknowledging allegiance to the
person of an Observation-Disclosures
VII, king and emperor. AL
though this personal allegiance
is a fiction under the British con-
stitution, the difference between
"subjects' of the British king
and 'citizens" of a republic be-
ing only formal, nevertheless
nothing could be much more
revolving to the sentiment of
most republican citizens born
and bred, than the ceremonial
of swearing allegiance to the
person of a sovereign. Even
though it be only ceremonial,
and the substantial change of
allegiance be not from a republic |
to a king, but from a republic
with republican forms to one
with monarchical forms, this
sentiment is outraged. Let the
American who doubts it ask
himself which would be easier ,
for him, as matter of sentiment, |
to swear allegiance to the Repub-
lie of Mexico or to the person of ,
King Edward? While almost .
any American would rather be
British than Mexican, there are
few who, though they would ex
perience only a parg of regret
at severing the ties of American
in order to take an
oath of allegiance to the Mexican
republic, would not feel a sense
Of humiliation upon Swearinga
glance to the person of the Brit
ish king. And their humiliation
would be intensified if the Brit
ish king were also the conquerOr
IF their country. That senti
IS doubtless as strong with the
Beers as with Americans-if
there is any difference, it is
stronger with them,-yet they
have consented to outrage it.
To end the war and return to
heir homes they agree to swear
to the person of a
foreign king, whose army has
them.

With the trust fixing the price
of ice at exhorbitant figures and
Il scarcity Of water approaching
a famine, the poor people of
New Orleans are having a hard
time these hot days. 1t is a sad
commentary on the present civil
lization that people should suffer
for want Of water and that re-
morselesS corporations are per-
mitted to control the price of
ice. 1t is just such things as
these which cause people to turn
to socialism and other visionary
systems for relief. To deny to
man even the poor privilege of
quenching his thirst with fresh
water is to plant seeds of an
archy and nihilism in his breast.
When it is considered that pure
air-and that not very pure
is about the only thing which |
the people may have without go
ing to the trust for it, it is not
surprising that the many isms
which affiict the body polite are
popular among the masses.
With land, water, fuel and every
other natural agency to keep
body and soul together mere
instruments of oppression in
the hands of organized wealth,
we should not too severely con-
demn those who are weary of
the present system and who, in
the absence of anything better,
look to the wild dreams of vision
aries for a change.
