Washington. Oct. 6,-The Weather Blu
reaus weekly summary of crop corGi-
tions is as follows:
In the central and eastern districts Of
the cotton belt there was little or no
rain during the week and cotton picking
progressed rapidly under very favorable
conditions. In Texas, oklahoma, and Ar
kansas. however, picking was retarded by
heavy rains which caused considerable
damage to open cotton. especially III
Texas, where the opening of the young
bolls has been checked ly renewed growth
of plant. Reports in cate that about
one half of the prospective yield has been
gathered in the central and eastern por-
tions OF the belt, the proportion gathered
being considerably greater in Texas where
probably so to O. per cent. of the crop
has been secured while not more than 10
per cent has yet been picked in Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and Arkansas. On the
whole it appears that slightly more than
one half of the crop is now gathered.
The principal tobacco states have had
very favorable curing weather and the
portion of the crop remaining unharvested
in Kentucky at the close of the prevo+
week has been housed

TWO WRONG VIEWS OF MIR
BROWN.

eThe st Louis Globe-Democrat black
guards Brown. the New Orleans cotton
Spectator, who has made millions by bet
ting on high cotton. Some of the other
papers are huding Brown and his asso
ciates to the skies as great benefactors
Those VINO had to buy cotton at a high
price. write as if Brown and Company, are
thieves and cutthroats. Those who had
cotton to sell and received big prices are
inclined to hail Brown and Company as
benefactols or philanthropists.
The truth is far removed from either OF
these conceptions. There is no occasion
to put laurels on the brow of Mr.. Brown
or put him on PEDESTAL 1t is equally
out of place to be calling him names and
making him out the worst sinner in the
speculative world,
The truth seems to be that Mr.. Brown
was specializing to make money, as are
all other spectators. Naturally. as a
Southern man, he was glad that in back
ing his judgment on the price of cotton
he was incidentally helping the holders OF
cotton AS a matter of fact, however, his
policy did not help the cotton growers
because they had already sold their crop
Mr.. Brown would have taken the other
side of the question and pushed down
prices if he could have made more money
by it, That is his business. A Speculation
is in the business to make money, and
Mr.. Brown is as good or as bad (Which
ever way you look at IT'D as the other
great spectators who have made good
by cornering or attempting to corner
the market None of them are caring fig
for the producer or the consumer if their
welfare stands between them and big pro-
fits

THE AUTHOR OF THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

Not long ago this paper stated tina
Monroe owed to Thomas Jefferson the in
spiration of the Monroe doctrine. Thi
statement was questioned by a subscrib
er whose reau-ng of New England historic
led him to believe that John Quine!
Adams was the author of the doctrine
| In the Life and Times of Thomas
Jefferson" by Hon. Thos. Z. Watson
this paragraph appears: "Jeffersons let
ter of October 1923 was the first and ex
plicit declaration of the Monroe doctrine
Hon. VIM. l.. Scruggs, in letter to the
Constitution takes issue with Mr.. Wat
son, who thus replies conclusively to Mr.
Scruggs:
II affirm that the statement of JohI
Quincy Adams, quoted by Mr.. Scruggs
does not embrace and fully set forth The
whole doctrine. / also affirm. that Mr.
Jeffersons letter states the entire doc
trine and states it more fully, more clear
ly, more bravely, than it had ever beer
stated before
ITO be convinced of this the reader has
only to study Jefferson's letter and tt
compare it with any other utterance o.
that period.
But Mr.. Scruggs declares that Thsma:
Jefferson, so far from being the first K
give explicit utterance to the Monro,
doctrine, had nothing whatever to dc
with it's formation"
Verify, one could wish that Mr.
Scruggs had been little more careful
and painstaking in his statement No
only was Monroe's letter of October, 1923
but I am ready to prove that Thoma!
Jefferson had officially suggested The rrin
ciple which afterwards became known n:
1.-THE Monroe doctrine in 1790-six years
prior to the farewell address, and thirty
three years before John Quincy Adams

John T. Morse, in his life of Thomas

admits that this letter of 1890 foreshadowl
the Monroe doctrine. If. Mr.. Scruggs car

Adams or anybody else, earlier than 179,
let him trot it out. The germ of til
Monroe doctrine, not to be found in the
farewell address of 1896, lives vigorously
in the Jefferson dispatch of 1870. There

LATE CROPS INJURED
Practically no Rain for Past
Week the Cause.
The Conditions Throughout the State are Fa-
vorabls for Gathering Crops and
For Farm Work

The North Carolina section of the
climate and crop service, through the
Weather Bureau yesterday issued the
following weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Monday, October 5, 1908:
The past week has been very dry with
practically no rain whatever except very
small amount at a few widely separated
places. The drought is injuring all late
crops considerably, especially turnips, fall
Irish potatoes, crimson clover and early
rye and wheat. Small streams are low,
and there is scarcity of water IN some
sections. The temperature was slightly
above normal, as the days were moder-
ately warm; the nights were generally
cool, and some frost occurred in the noun
tains. While the lack of moisture is
affecting late seeded crops adversely, and
the ground has become too hard and dry
for the continuation OF fall blowing,
otherwise conditions were very favorable
for gathering matured crops and for all
farm work. Very little blowing has been
done, and only small quantities of winter
wheat and oats were seeded during the
week.
Cotton is opening very rapidly, with
weather conditions favorable for picking,
which is progressing rapidly; the cool
nights have injured the top crop; IN
many fields in the South cotton is all
cpen the estimate is that nearly half
the cotton has already been picked, and
the yield is undoubtedly short. Gathering
late corn has advanced well; some late
corn has been injured by lack of suffi-
Gent moisture. Tobacco has all been
safely housed, except in a few sections
in the northwestern part of the State.
Digging peanuts and sweet potatoes are
underway, with fairly good yields. Most
of the pea-vine hay crop, nearly all OF
the fodder and other forage crops have
been housed under favorable conditions
Glover and turnips are being much injured
by drought. Some wheat and oats were
seeded during the week, but cannot come
up without rain. Forest fires are reported
in the northeast part of the State.
N B--As the staple crops are now prac-
tically beyond the influence of wealth
er conditions, this is the last crop bulle-
tin for the season of 1903.

INSPIRING DIXIE.

Every now and then somebody pro
poses that new words be written for the
inspiring air of Dixie" They say that
tune that creates so much enthusiasm
ought to be written in loftier language
and have more meaning of patriotic lore
in the words. In response to the sugges
ton that the song ought to be dignified
General Albert Pike wrote the following
Southrons, hear your country call you,
Up, lest worse than death befall you,
To arms to armsl to arms. in Dixie
Lo! all the beacon fires are lighted,
Let all our hearts be now united,
To arms! to armsl to arms! in Dixie
Advance the flag of Dixie,
Hurrah! hurrah!
For Dixie's land we'll take our stand
To live or die for Dixie,
To arms, to arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie,
To armsi to arms!
And conquer peace for Dixie.
Fear no danger, shun no labor;
Lift up rifle, pike, and saber.
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder,
Let the odds make each heart holder.
They are noble words, full of dignity
but they do not go to the tune of Dixie
The truth is that you never can change
the words or the tune of popular song
after it has obtained the ''go." The peo
pie will cling to it as they immortalized
it, no matter If the words are wanting, as
in the case of Dixie" in the dignity that
should belong to such an air.

STATE LAWS ALONE CAN

Springfield Republican.

Notwithstanding some objections that
are offered the President would be well
justified in giving to the subject of or
divorce laws and the divorce anarchy
in America some space in his regular an
nual message Divorce legislation, it Is
true, has always been under State jurls-
diction, but the divorce scandal Is na-
tional, and whatever is national may re-
ceive the Presidents consideration in his
messages to Congress. The subject OF
lynchings has in the past been treated In
these state papers, and lynchings are,
strictly speaking, matters of State con-
Germ. The divorce evil in so far as it
results from multiplicity of diverse laws,
has no less claim upon the Federal execu-
| tive's attention.
