Possibilities Of Lee Comfy.

Lee county's soil offers to her

these advantages together with
many others it only awaits develop

The matter of settling the ques.
ton Of good roads will be left to
the people at the election next
Tuesday. The tickets will be pre-.
pared to let everybody vote on the
matter, those in favor of the con-
tract system will vote "aye,' those

the sentiment in the county is for
a change; it would relieve the
county of some expense and give
US better roads after a short time.
Besides, an opportunity would be
afforded to work the county con-

also of the state being represent

for laborers the vagrant law
should be vigorously enforced.
When there is no work to be Sc.
cured idleness must be tolerated
in a certain per cent of our popu.

be worked if he doesn't work.

The general election in which
the nominees of the democratic
primary will be elected will be
held on Tuesday next. In former
years the vote IN the general elec-
tons have been small and it is
now predicted that the vote next
Tuesday will be smaller than ever
before. The election will be with
out interest save in the case of the
race for Supreme Court clerk in
which there are six candidates
contesting for the place made va
cant by the death of Capt. Brown.
Some place the vote as low as
fifteen thousand but in our opinion
10000 would nearer approximate
1T. Unless one of the candidates
for Supreme Court clerk receives
a majority of both the popular and
electoral vote there will be no
election and the Legislature will
be called on to elect the clerk.
With so many in the field, it is
not probable that any one candi-
date will have enough strength to
win in the general election.

The scarcity OF labor is the
problem that now c%onfronts the
business world. In every line
good men are in great demand at
good wages but the supply is not
near equal to the demand. Labor
ers for the cotton fields, cotton
oil mills, lumber plants and com
presses can find work at good Wa.
ges but the supply Is short. Why
this condition exists is all enigma.
Only for a year or two has this
been the case. Has the business
increased to this remarkable con.
dition in so short a time, or is it
the result Of idleness on the part
Of those who formerly did the
work?

Cotton HIGHER.

The earlyiappearance of killing
frosts have had a tendency to run
the price of cotton higher than has
been known for this season of the
year for some time. The market
Monday was one Of great excite
ment in the cotton centers and the
man on the short side made all
possible haste to get under cover.
Reports have been freely circulat-
ed since the opening of the sea-
son that a large crop would be
produced, but the man who has
taken the trouble to ascertain the
real condition has been a bull
from the start. One half the crop
has been marketed at this time and
by the first of November all up
land will be stripped of every boil.
Inc lOWlandS nave a fair crop
which has not yet opened but as
the foliage has fallen off will now
open rapidly. The season has been
the most remarkable in the histo.
ry of cotton, opening late and wet
and with only one month Of favor
able weather for the plant IN mid
summer to mature, when a drought
set in and cut off all possible chance
of a top crop. The only favorable
feature during the e%ntiret year has
been the weather Of the two months
which facilitated picking. Con-
servative estimates place the crop
under eleven million bales.

Mr.. LINCOLN j. STEFFENs has again launched
his monthly thunderbolt in the camp of municipal
corruption. This time he aimed at the Windy City.
Fortunately for Chicago, however, his fiery bolt
landed in Lake Michigan and did no apparent harm.
AS crusader Mr. Steffens is much of failure as
was Peter the Hermit His crusades against vice
inaugurated for spectacular effect and incdently
fer the benefit of Mr. Stefens There is altogether
too much indiscriminate mudslinging connected
with his methods. He indicts men too recklessly
before the bar Of public opinion and brings oppro-
brium upon whole city simply because few ind-
viduals derec in the discharge of their public
duties. Numerous protests have been registered by
influential citizens; and why shouldn't they protest?
We do not wish to detract from the credit given to
Mr.. Steffens for giving such wide publicity to the
existence of graft in certain cities Still he is to be
censured for he has scattered broadcast valuable in.
formation that will be highly treasured by embryo
boodlers.
So far Mr.. Steffens has failed to make any new
exposures of graft. He has only embellished la
mentable story that had been told again and again
In each instance he has found his pathway fautlessy
paved and the electric lights burning brightly. When
he arrived the the reform wave had receded
had been counted and the smoke of battle had
blown away. Notwithstanding this fact Mr. Seffens,
Diogenes-ike, must grasp his lantern and proceed
to look for an honest city. 0 tempora! 0 mores!

that organization having this end in view is al

and is most praiseworthy plan of lending assist
ance to the poor and at the time deprving the

The Municipal Loan Co. was charted by the
state of Illinois, its capital being furnished by a
number of public spirited residents of Chicago.
Loans made household goods and other collat-
