Vote The Straight Ticket.

1t is the duty of every good
democrat to go to the polls today
and vote the straight ticket of his
party from end to end. There
may be some men on that ticket
whom you do not like. There
may be on ii men who, measured
by the fastidious criterlons, are
not up to the high standard that
they ought to be, but they are the
nominees OF majority Of the
democracy of Shelby county, and
the majority should carry more
weight than the opinions or wishes
of any one man. However much
democrats may differ as to men
they are united upon meas
ures of large importance, but tn csc
measures can never be carried into
effect without party organization.
The only way to maintain effective
party organization is to draw the
party line strictly from constable
up to president. In the long run
this iB undoubtedly hes, for the
general welfare, although in in.
dividual cases some undesirable
men may be elected to office. The
fundamental maxim of the demo
cracy is the greatest good TO the
greatest number, and measured by
that test, strict party organization
is democratic duty. Let all per-
sonal pref be set side, and
let all vote the whole ticket With
out a scratch. Go to the polls
early and support the nominees
not only by your vote, but by your
influence. Memphis News.

bitter organ, made for itself rec.

assistance of the masters in politics
whom it served, it led the country

generation. During recent years
the press has been doing better,
and most credl!able spirit of in
dependence is noticeable the coun-

around to the idea that the party

condemned for its mistakes, ex-
posed in its rascalities, just like

THE COTTON SITUATION.

Notwithstanding the drought
in Texas. boil worm in the Mis-
sissippi delta, and oft repeated
predictions Of a short cotton crop.
it is all apparent that the feecy
staple has been produced in vast
quantities, and indications are
that the largest crop ever known
in the South will be marketed.
Cotton has, thus far, brought a
fair price, and farmers are in fine
spirits.
Besides the abundant yield of
cotton, other crops have been
above average. Vegetables. fruit
and melons tided many a farmer
over the mOneyless season, and
full cribs and stores ofgood cheer
guarantee him against debts
through the coming winter. In
fact, prosperity is wide spread,
throughout the South. While
this should be general cause for
rejoicing, it should not be per
mltted to prove stumbling block
to future progress and continued
prosperity. If the same acreage
In cotton be repeated another
year, there are nine chances out
of ten of flop in the price of the
ileecy, equalling that of five years
ago. This, accompanied by a
partial failure in corn and food
stutfs, would bring about a repeti-
ton of the same old story of debt,
long credit, and dependence on
the North for supplies. While
there is yet time, the farmers
should plan to prevent this re.
lapse into the old ruts. A de-
crease in the acreage of cotton,
full cribs and smoke houses, will |
prevent the low price of cotton
from materially injuring the far |
mer, while in the diversification
of crops he will find gam and
profit. We trust that the coming
year will bring to our farmers
even better things than the past,
and that their past experience
with fiat pocket books. empty
barns ynd smoke. houses, will be
an effective lesson in preventing
a wholesale production of the
king of Southern soil.
