THE DUTY OF THE SOUTH.

Commenting on a lengthy editorial in The Philadelphia Public Ledger on The Hope of the south," The Raleigh Morning Post says:
 The South wants nothing except as matter of right; and 1t will not even promise to divide its vote in the fu Illness" at the hands of the President As part of this great nation the South is entitled to fair and just treat ment. and there Is no excuse for the acts In which 1t is admitted the Presi- dent has "wounded" this section. With us 1t is not question of being anx- tous to dived, but one of determination to remain in position to do for our selves what may be necessary to secure good government at home; and 1t does not require a long residence in the South to prove that the South generally votes wisely in that respect
 We have seen in some quarters the suggestion that the Southern people should attempt to bribe the President and the Republican Party to be good to us, for that Is just what some of the advice and suggestions amount to. If We understand the Southern people, especially the Democrats, as we claim to do, they do not propose to humiliate themselves and insult Roosevelt by at tempting to bribe him. They will not "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may fololw fawning," to quote much-used Shaksperianism. The South Is a part of the Union, and is entitled to exactly the same con sideration that any other section is. It should accept the results of the cleo ton in ood faith, deserving and ex- pecting fair treatment. knowing Its ability to take care of itself, playing neither the part of a beggar nor a bully. It will be time enough to re- sent injury when it comes, if 1t does come. We of this part of the Union have no cause to parade before the world with a chip on our shoulder, nor strut like game cock in the barn. yard. Let's stick to business and keen both our dignity and our manhood fearing nothing. dreading nothing, but expecting the just and fair treatment due us as an integral and co-eQual part of this great Ueion.

Something About Big Cotton Yield.

Montgomery, NoV zs' iSvs' Editor The Advertiser:
 read in The Advertiser a notice from Cullman County dated November 2lth. where c. J. Blevins planted one bushel of cotton seed said to contain Ss,000 seed. Also that he says he had 69.OO0 stalks of cotton on his seven acres. I am Il years old and have raised cotton, and have been a close observer and experimented all my hfe with cotton and this statement about the 6S, 900 stalks from 99.000 cotton seed is 70 unusual that I can scarcely De- lieve it. What became of the bugs ano worms; they should have had some or 1t. I am an old reader of your paper and I will give you my experience with a bushel of fine seed planted this year. I never counted mine l nxed up nve acres. My rows were five feet wide. I dropped my seed four feet in the orih. put four and five seed to the hiil ana only had few left which l replanted with.
 On the i've acres had 10.s2o hills, I suppose there was at least 500 missed hills, which left me 10,420 hills. made o,806 pounds of seed cotton, l lacked ,614 pounds of seed cotten getting . pound to every stalk l had. I got six and one-half bales of lint cotton weighing 500 pounds each. No nsh about mine. I would like for MT. Blevins to let us know where he found room on seven acres for 69,000 cotton stalks.
 Yours very respectfully,
 John I. Watson.

State. That would be a total of 22.18s registered voters who did not take part In the voting for the head of the Stats registration. InN Boston the largest vote polled for a Republican candidate on the State ticket was that given to Secretary Oiin. with Attorney General Parker in second place. A rather sur prising fact is that the total vote for the Democratic and Republican electors was considerably smaller than the total vote given to Douglass and Bates. A. most 10000 blanks were found in the count of votes for the Clerk of the Su- perior Court, while in the Eleventh Congressional District there were al :. most z50o blanks. The number of registered voters who failed to avail themselves of the privilege of voting is great. as is also the number of voters who failed to mark their ballots for all the candidates for whom they had . right to express their Dreferonce.

Although the Republicans find so many good things to say about Senator Cockrell they do not take kindly, at least in Missouri, to the suggestion that they join in with the Democrats and re-elect him. That would be practic- ing what they preach, a business, by the way. at which Republicans are not always expert.

Over in Denver. Colorado, where many unusual things occur, they are finding red ants in the milk, in one case in the proportion of 2.0oO ants to the gallon of milk. In our opinion that is too much ant for little milk, and whether they got into it from the COW or the milkman the combination is likely to give consumers a distaste for it.

 The author was Alexander B. Meek, poet, orator and statesman, and elder brother of B. F. Meek. Alas, both have passed away, but am sure that pluck a laurel wreath from his broth CTS brow. Red Eagle" was publish ed some fifty years ago and have not seen a copy since the war between the States, but am quite sure that l cannot be mistaken.

 I can say of him as he wrote on the death of Richard Henry Wilde: "The bard-alas! knew him well!

(The error pointed out by MT. Agee due to a mental lapse, was recalled by MT. Sheehan, The Advertisers stan cor respondent, the night preceding the publication of the letter. He tele- graphed a correction giving Alexander Beaufort Meek the proper credit, but in the rush of business connected with the publication of a large daily news paper, the message was overlooked.
 The Advertisers staff correspondent shares MT. Agee's admiration for the talents of the States gifted poet and statesman, and has written a paper in appreciation of his writings and ser- vices to the State Editor Advertiser.)
