CONDITION SERIOUS.
Farmers Growing PessimistiC
Regarding Cotton Prospect.

The farmers of Terrell county are
inclined to be rather gloomy over the
present cotton prospect. Millions up
on millions of cotton lice have in
tested the plants and damaged them
to great extent. In addition 70 this
cotton has suffered much because of
the continued drought, and rain is
badly needed.
With the vermin and drought both
striving to down it the hardy plant
has had a hard scuf1e for existence,
and the farmers can hardly be blamed
for their pessimistic forebodings.

CAN WEAR HAIR.
Indian Commissioner VIII Not En-
force "fiair CUT Order.

Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
Jones, say that the order for all
Indians residing on Uncle Sans
reservation to abstain from the use
of paints and football hair is a
trifle harsh. and that, as an "or
der" it will not be enforced.
"a cake OF soap" says Commits
sioner Jones, is the surest road to
civilization ever invented. But
we can't do anything with the old
Indians, aud we won't try to We
will let the old fellows wear their
hair long and daub their faces un-
til they die out. That is all that
is left for them.
"The young bucks, and especi-
ally those who have been TO In
dian schools, and should have
learned better manners, will be
forced, so far as possible, to keep
their hair trimmed and their faces
clean.
1.-THE order, if it may be called
an order, refers only to the blank
et' Indians" continued Commits
sioner Jones. 1.-The red man who
wears citizens clothes is usually
all right. 1t is a fact that a
blanket Indian won't work be
has to use one hand all the time
to hold the blanket on his back,
and even an Indian can't be ex-
pected to perform labor with one
hand.
Il thought the order was a little
harsh In the first place, | ordered
it amended and made less hard
upon the Indian, but my inslruc
ton was not carried out. 2"

THREE PARTIES IN 1904,

That there will be a sort of trifurcated | or three-cornered national campaign next | time seems practically beyond doubt. There may be a dozen tickets in the field, | all with more or less following, but there
 will only be, judging by present appear ances three parties entitled to the name. | The Republicacns and Democrats will l contest, as they have contested on many | hard-fought field. and 1t looks now as | if there will be but one party calling it. | self Republican and one calling itself Democratic to keep up their old party banners and to contend, we hope, for the
 distinct principles and policies which dis tinguished them.
 The gathering in Louisville last Thurs day indicates that most of the political
 odds and ends which have managed to
 maintain a sort of nebulous existence will
 coalesce and form themselves into ons party, with principles and policies as divergent and variant as are the names 1nder which they have been acting, but
 all of them probably working together
 during one campaign with the hope of
 coming into power. Their platform. if it can be dignified by that name. embraces all the wild vagaries and impossible theo-
 ries which have been the only substitute i for principles with most of those who have refused to be satisfied with the two old parties It Is but just to add that
 they also take in certain beliefs which for some years have passed for Demo- cratic principles with q majority of our party. 1t was natural that this chowder party, launched at Louisville. should have adopted some of tho Kansas City and Chicago theories which Democrats, we hope and believe, have discarded for ever.
 What strength this new aggregation will develop remains 10 be seen. It is known that many former Republicans re- fuse to endorse the financial policy of that party. It is equally plain that many Democrats may refuse to return to the old Democratic faith because of their
 fanatical belief in free coinage. These are two of the clements which will go to
 make up the rank and file of the Third Party. To them will be attracted the So- cialists, Populists, Labor Advocates, Peo- ples Party and various other fragmen-
 tary clements of dissatisfied citizens who | are always looking out for something to align themselves against, and who will
 naturally drift together and form such an aggregation of incongruous elements as
 could exist nowhere except in the United
 States.
 That this new combination is to be one
 of the disturbing clements in American
 politics during the next two years is be- yond doubt, and Democrats may as well make up their minds to fight it as well
 as to fight the Republicans. The only way to do 1t successfully. or with a hope
 of success, Is to get back to the old time
 Democratic principles which represent all
 most everything that this new party does not. That way lies a chance of suc- cess, and no other way holds out even a
 hope Our party must cut loose from the
 wild theories and wilder politicians Of the
 west and look to the East for policy and candidate. Adherence to the men

THE CAR FAMINE.
Average Car Busy But Four Hours
 a Day.

Kansas City Letter in an Exchange.
 You were asking about the car fam ines" said the railway friend. well, here are some figures for you:
 The freight equipment movement last year averaged about thirteen miles per car day Now d car isn't d storage prop osition-it's S only in real use when 1t is required to load and unload under prop CT system each car in the country was busy not over four hours a day.
 That's one reason why contend that the railroads could tone down these pe- riodical famines by applying business sys' tenn to the handling of their cars. why, if the banks of the country took care ot their clearings on the style that the rail' roads look after their car service our finances would be swamped In no time
 ''INake into consideration. too, that Wnlie tonnage has greatly increased In the iast decade equipment needed has increased ot Der cent faster. Last year alone the ra,i' roads paid out almost a quarter or Dil- lion dollars for new freight cars ana ioco, motives adding to their equipment zou.W. freight cars and 4,3o0 locomotives: Stlll the shortages grow apace because II ooes no good to get more cars and then not handle them right.
 All of which leads up to the thought; what are the railroads going 10 do anu when do they intend to reorgamze tneir system, which clearly shows dooseness and wastefulness? If railroad stocks can be made to pay good dividends under the present plan how much larger "oulu s os the nrofits were stringent rules enforced whereby full service could be ootalned!
 Rut the car famine hurts the railroad inst as 1t does the shipper. In tune they will see that up in the captains office and there will be shaking up.

 The Ray bill confers Jurisdiction on the Federal district courts. concurrent with the State courts. of suits to recover prop erty of the bankrupt. Several amehd- ments are made to regulate the bankrupt- cy of corporations. as follows: In making the application for receivership an act of bankruptcy; in permitting certain cor porations to become voluntary bankrupts. and in adding mining corporations to those amenable to bankruptcy.
 The bill modifies the compensation of officers and exempts from the effect of dis :harge certain liabilities due to con- duct against good morals. It makes the bankrupt's wife, as to transactions with him, compellable witness in all states. and shortens the time for service of the subpoena in involuntary cases.
 The Ray bill also proposes to return to individual creditors money expended by them in carrying on litigation which proves beneficial for all. It puts rents on the same footing as other debts, both as to provability and dischargeability. and it removes certain inequities resulting from the laws recognition of the exemp- lions allowed in the different States.

NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Important Changes Proposed ir
 Present Statute.

Washington Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Tho House Committee on Judiciary will soon report a bill making 6 number of cha anges in the bankruptcy law. Judge Ray the chairman of the committee, recently made canvass of large part of the commercial field, and found that there was a widespread demand for cer- tain changes in the law One section of the bill amends the law so that where in- solvency Is the question at issue assets claimed to be exempt shall not be counted in ascertaining the aggregate of the debtors property" thus doing away with an injustice growing out of the new defi- milton of insolvency in States that allow large exemptions
 The bill proposes to protect innocent transactions. like payments between debt or and creditor up to the moment of bank ruptcy. These changes incidentally limit preferences to within four months of the bankruptcy and make the date of the record, rather than of actual delivery, the where the preference consists of transfer. There are no sections of the existing law which provide for suits to recover from creditors or other persons property improperly transferred.
 Another change that is proposed VIII modify the present second objection to a discharge and add four more objections to discharge. It has been uniformly held under the present law that "1n contem- plation of bankruptcy" means with a view to the actual filing of a petition and not merely a present or future state or

A Selma Editor Sees Things.

Mobile Register.
 The Selma Times is expendng energy in trying to find out tho animus of the newspapers that advocate the holding of q primary. That is not a dignified en- ployment. If a primary is q good thing, it does not matter who advocates It.. Even The Times, favored it upon first an nouncement Why did it do so? Did it think it a good thing: or was 1t guilty of not thinking at all? 1t happens that both ratificationists and anti-ratificationis.s seem to be agreeing upon the advisabil- ity of holding party primary. Agree ment in the party Is a good thing. Most sehsible people, even when editors, will not deny it. Nevertheless. the agreement is so surprising to The Selma Times that it imagines that there Is a conspiracy of some sort on foot, A conspiracy to unite the party! Has it come to this that the spectacle of an united party presents terrors to !the view of black belt edi- tor? If so the editor is to be pitied. The people of the State are determined to make the reform. started bv the adop- ton of the new Constitution thorough. If that be q conspiracy, let The Selma Times make the most of it.
