any real effect upon sentiment, as the ab- sencs Of selling pressure had more Co do
 with the hardening tendency of the market than anything else. The market continues to be . dull, scaiping affair and will prob ably continue SO until the weather condi- tions become more settled and the move ments of the new crop become better known. week of clearing weather would do much to bring the plant out of the tender state in which 1t is at present. and incidentally bring about . lower range of prices. while heavy rains and cool. frosty conditions would bring about . crop scare and result in c sharp advance in the price of cotton futures We think. however. that cotton can be safely sold on the bulges for the present. While the market may have Q further bulge. there is very little amount of danger of the new crop going much over s& cents as long as present conditions remain they are and they should be sold whenever the price reaches these figures.

AFFECTED er RECEIPTS

Into ev ry cotton market in Georgis,
as throughout the cotton bell, farmers
are pouring wealth of bales just now
Never before has the crop been gather
ed thus early and at such rapid rate,
and the surprise is that prices have
all along remained above ten cents
under such condition. And while
farmers are selling the great bulk OF
the crop at prevailing prices, there
is no question that with concert of
action it could be made to bring
millions more to the producers. There
is now no question of the crop being a
moderate, not to say small one, COM
pared to what was expected two, or
even one month ago, The whole
spinning world is depleted of cotton
must have cotton no matter what the
cost. The present crop can be made
to average at least 12c if { Is cts.
per pound to the growers, If the grow
ers will gin and sell cautiously. If
only half the cotton picked each week
is placed on the market and the other
half held back, either stored in ware
house, when money must be obtained
or stored on the farms either ginned
and bsled or in the seed, there would
be no Cutting the market for October,
| Novem Der, December, which is the
very condition the spectators want,
in order that they may be able to buy
now what will be in active demand the
world over, at much higher prices
after January 1st. All that is needed
is concerted action and backbone to
force the markets to respond to con-
ditions never so favorable to be CON
trolled or adjusted for the growers
interest. 1t is all ready for the far
mers actor, and concerted action will
control the crop movement and prices
for cotton and seed, and give the pro-
ducer the benefit heretofore always
received by speculative middlemen
The cotton crop now being harvested
can be made the most valuable
crop ever gathered if the farmers will
act in cor cert and on similar lines in
every State, county and community.

The New York Sun is a peculiar

some of its criticisms must haye made
him writhe. Suddenly, however, it
declared for him and is now his sup

support Herrick, the Democratic
nominee for Governor. It says: "It
is the duty of every rightfuIly consti-
tuted citizen to register at the ap-
pointed season and then, on election
day, to cast his ballot as his patriotic
convictions prompt him. In our
opinion, the public welfare will be
best subserved by voting for Roose.

! SIR CONAN DoYLE's FIRST CASE.

related story which Is transcribed in

yawning, I put my head out Of the

"Only two drogs, DOCTOR Not enough
to hurt a cat. Guess I'd better take
my head in now. Night air Is cold.
Sorry to have troubled you''

homeward, trying to stife my anger.
Suddenly the window was raised
again, and the same voice cried:

had taken turn for the worse.
"Well, what do you want?" said.
The voice made answer:
"Ye won't charge nothing for this
