The dOttOu Outlook,

"The backwardness of the sea-
son." says the New York Com
mercial. "and other adverse con-
ditions do not at the moment hold
out auy strong hopes OF a crop
measurably larger than that now
approaching the last end of it's
marketing.* A good many
things can happen between now
and September to put the 1903
cotton crop below that of 1902 in
bulk-but nothing a now occur
to make it materially larger"
This pretty accurately sums up
the outlook. Aud since the re-
ports on which it was based, the
adverse conditions" have been
supplemented by a week of uu-
seasonable cold, than which moth
Ing could be more injurious to
young cotton. Arguing from the
premise of the present, the Com,
merclal forecasts a margin of
from a half to a million bales, be-
tween next years supply and de-.
mand and a maintenance Of pres.
ent prizes" unless checked by
disappearance OF the manufac-
turers' profits"
The Commercial says futlier-
more: "It begins to look as if
the Southern planters must from
now on plan for an acreage that
will yield at least $4,000, 900 bales
Of cotton each season under YER
age conditions Of weather and cul.
tivation. If they do not, new
competitors will be sure to spring
up in other parts Of the world and
might ultimately cost the United
States something of her present
prestige in the worlds cotton
trade.
Southern planters may PLAN"
or propose, but the labor supply
disposes. Here in is a limitation
on acreage increase that is in the
nature of a problem. But as it is
a greater one sin other parts of
the world" "United States pres
tige" is not apt to suffer yet

Brown, the great cotton mani
pulator, says that the time has ar
rived when consumption has reach
ed the production of cotton and
that the demand for it is beyond
the limit Of production. This is a
very desirable position in which
the southern producers Of the
great staple + placed. The ex-
pansion Of civilization and conse-
quent necessity for cheap clothing
has placed cotton in the fore front.
Its adoption to the wants of the
advancing people Of the eastern
h~emispheres places it above all
other commodities as a great ma
terial with which to clothe them.
This position has been the dream
of economists ever since the staple
attained its place in the worlds
commerce and now that it has
been reached its reign as "kIng,"
which has been temporarily sus-
pended, will be resumed.
What this means for the south
can easily be f%oreseen. Posses
sing, as that favored region does,
the soil and climate which seems
fitted by nature to the growth OF
the plant, with a labor system
built upon the special adaptation OF
it's laborers to It's cultivation, the
south for a long time will enjoy
"a monopoly of that trade. No.
where else in the world does there
exist a region where the soil, eli.
mate, and labor system r to be
found that can compete with the
south in making cotton. If it be
true that the demand for cotton is
in excess of the limit of produc.
ton then the south's position is
so strong that it will retain it for
an Indefinite period. The price
will III this CASE remain good no
matter how much is made. But
this does not alter the fact that
the south should produce all its
food stuffs. No matter if cotton
was twenty cents a pound the
southern farmer should keep his
cribs and smoke houses full.

Gov. Lougiao Speaks.

AS had been announced Gov.
A. H. Longino spoke at the Court
House on Wednesday morning, a
good crowd being present. He
was introduced by w. D. Ander-
son Esq, in complimentary terms,
to which the governor responded
in a pleasant manner. He review
ed the questions under discussion
in the race for the senate and out.
lined his position in regard to
each. He contended that the
constitution of 1890 had settled
the race question and that that
question was a matter of no i'm
port at this time. He disclaimed
any connection with the republi-
can refereeship in Missississippi
futher than the family connection
which exists between himself and
Mr.. Wilson. He referred to this
in connection with the Indianola
post Office matter which he said
had been injected into the cam
paign. he also took occasion to
review his part in the recent treas
ury matter with which he said the
public was familiar. The matter
of the laying of the corner stone
of the new capitol WIS also taken
up and he explained his position
in regard to the time at which the
ceremonies should take place; that
he neve" objected to the ceremo.
MES taking place on Jefferson
Davis birthday, but that when the
work was ready he made the mo-
ton before the capitol commission
erg that the 3rd of June be select
ed. The question of the attempt
on the part OF a contractor to
bride him to secure the contract
of building the new capitol was
gone over and his part in the
transaction vas explained; that
he acted in that only as he could
have done under the circumstances.
The balance of the Governors re-
marks were devoted TO a review
of the inequalities of the tariff
under the present law. Messrs
Maxwell and Henry announced
their candidacy for state auditor;
j.. w. Powell announced for
secretary Of state and W. J
Miller for state treasurer. The
speeches Of the state candidates
were short and to the point.
