Gen. Jas. B. Longstreet, one OF the
bravest soldiers and also one Of The nest
slUllful generals OF the South, recently
passed from his home in Georgia 10 the
life eternal In the Military Academy
at West Point, from which he was grad
uated, he maintained an honorable rank
among the gifted young men in that great
in. titution In the war with Mexico he
wen his first laureis as soldier. In that
struggle he manifested those fine quail
ties which have since won for him an en-
during fame. In our Civil War he bore Il
part second only to Lee and Jackson
He was among the foremost in all the
great battles of the Army OF Northern
Virginia, and surrendered with it at APP
pomattox. His fame is a part of the
glorious heritage OF the South.
General John b. Gordon, OF Georgia,
was engaged in the practice OF law when
the order to arms reached him. He was
among the first to volunteer and by sheer
merit rose to be Majo General in the
Army of Northern Virginia and surrender
ed with it at AppomattoX. Since the war
his career has been as brilliant and bene-
ficiert as mis- record during the four years
war. A. Governor of his native State,
Senator of the United States. and pro-
meter CT peace between the sections, he
will always hold a place of honor in the
hearts of the people When he was laid
to rest there was mourning for him in
the North, as well as South. As a gal
liant soldier, an able statesman, and a
true patriot, removed from the earth to
the families of both of these heroes, we
tender our sincere sympathy.

To the Editor of The World.
So far as the cotton crop movement
up to the 10th of January is concerned,
il must be admitted by any impartial
observer that there is nothing in the
figures which nave so far come to hand
winch justifes an acceptance of esti-
mates much below. If at all below, last
y, ar's crop.
The amount of cotton in sight up to
the 10th OF January is in excess of last
year. when the crop turned out 1927 ,00O
bales, and still further IN excess of the
figures of two years ago, when the total
crop was 10000, 00C.
The worlds visible supply of American
cotton is likewise in excess of last year.
There is no present scarcity Of cotton.
Receipts for the past week or two, il IS
true have fallen behind those of last
year. but. accepting the bulls explanation
Of the heavy pts carly in the season
as due to an exceptionally active de-
mand for cotton, the present light re-
ceipts are, in my opinion applicable on
the same theory, namely: they are due
to The slack demand. As far as / can
ascertain there is comparatively ltCle IN
quiry for cotton IRON bona fide consunl-
ers. That this is the case is attested by
the fact that in New Orleans, which is
the headquarters of the bull propaganda
lists, there is difference OF one cent a
pound between cotton for immediate de-
livery and cotton for July delivery July
contracts selling at one cent a pound
or IS bale above January contracts. AS
this is the equivalent Of about L. por cent.
per annum on the money invested III
carrying the spot stock in that mar
ket, it is evident that the demand for
actual cotton is entirely incommensu
rate with the demand for paper cotton,
and the bulls are paying 70 per cent. per
annum, or SIS per bale, for the luxury
of five months hope.

THE BULL SIDE.
(By Daniel ]. SullyD

To the Editor Of The World.
D. j. Sully & Co. were asked by The
World to explain why they had reduced
their estimate of this seasons crop Of
cotton from 9,9860O0 bales of 500 pounds
each, to 100000 bales Of that weight.
The following is our reply
Our position has been entirely consist
ent from the start At the opening Of
the season we were persistent and insist.
ent in setting forth the belief that the
c1op of American cotton for the season
o. 10000 was not sufficient to meet
the demands Of consumption. On Nover.
Der IS, 1903. when We issued our crop
estimate which was only $4,000 bales
above tnat Of the Bureau of Statistics,
we called attention to the entirely natu-
RAJ but extremely unusual conditions
which. in our opinion, had curtailod the
productiveEess of the cotton plant. We
also stated. without qualification. our be-
llef that the present season would prove
the shortest growing, picking, ginning and
marketing season or record, and that
owing to tn exhaustion of the worlds
supply of raw cotton and the encroach-
lrent on manufactured reserves, every
bale of American cotton would be alb
sorbed regardless of price.
On December we modified our estimate
by a circular, in which we made this
statement:
Tie estimate of 100000 bales made b.
the Bureau of Statistics is too high by
many thousand bales.
We also advised the american spinner to
buy cotton then, and in voieing this ap-
peal we said;
High as cotton is, cotton is still too
lew. 1t is useless to predict what yor
will have to pay If you wait. What does
l., 16, 20 or even % cents q pound mean
when you cannot get the cotton
Since that time advices from the South
have more than confirmed us in our posi-
ton. The season has proved the sno11-
est growing, picking, ginning and market
ing season on record. For this reason
the receipts until recently, and even now
to some extent. are deceptive in thai
they indicate not that the crop is :.
large one, but that every man with L
bale of cotton to sell is rushing it to
market. The man who has looked at the
receipts alone without paying heed to the
anxiety Of the farmer TO market his
&C tton while the price is high is bound to
De misled.
last year, our advices from both Great
Britain and the Continent lead Us TO BE-,
licve that European. spinners have nos
covered Their engagements by securing
the actual cotton This is a factor thal
will force cotton still higher as the sea-
sor grows older 1t Will not be iong
III til practically all interior supplies are
assembled at the great concentrating
points hen this happens. the small
ness Of the crop viii dawn upon' the
re luctant spinncrs, and there VII be
scramble for supplies that will send Get
ton the unheard-of figures.
The handwriting on the wall has been
made apparent in the reports by the
Bureau of Statistics and the Census
Bureau, and when the next census re-
pert on ginnings comes out, between
February and 10, the grim reality OF the
cotton situation will be made so PLAN
that Big crop estimates will be reiegated
to their proper sphere of absurdlty

How Wisconsin Man Laid In His Ice.
II came across a farmer nea Toma-
hawk, Wis, recently who has a unique
plan for saving ice and n that might
be used with advantage by city people
to escape the clutches of the ice trust"
said A. F. Lane, who recently returned
from an outing in the woods of north
ern Wisconsin. says the Milwaukee
Sentinel.
This fellow needed ice, being in the
dairy business, so he dug a hole under
the front porch Of his home, making it
seven feet deep and three feet long and
five feet wide. Then when the real
cold weather came he poured about two
feet of water in the hole and let it
freeze, first covering the bottom with
sawdust. Then as the winter progress
ed he continued the process, and be-
fore the first thaw warned him of the
coming of warm weather he covered
the ice surface with sawdust and made
a trap door through the floor of the
porch. Now when he needs ice he has
it handy"
