ers' Record does not undertake to say
whether cotton will go higher as the bull
leaders claim, and claim, we believe
with thorough sincerity, nor does 1t I'm
dertake to venture a prediction as to
whether prices will go much lower before
the new crop; but it would remind its
readers that history repeats itself. Two
or three years ago during the wild specu-
lation in New York there seemed to. be
nc limit to the demand and to the ad-
vance IN prices of stocks and bonds. Over
and over again the statement Was made
that the country has grown 50 rich that
the supply of securities was inadequate
to the demand, but there came a time
when it was found that the supply OF Sc
curties was in excess OF what the pubic
wanted and then came the great crash
and the wiping out of thousands OF mil
lions of paper profits and the destruction
OF many regulations, winch ougf, to hav
taught lesson to the whole country.
Even n the iron market, it was less than
a year ago when furnaces were crowded

about $3.50 to so ton, and though pro-
duction throughout the country has been

still seems equal to present consumptive
requirements.
Every boom in stocks, in iron, in real
estate which has ever SWEPT over the
country, has been followed by the natur-
al swing of thu pendulum to depression
and low prices. The history OF every
boom should prove n warning to the
South to beware of wild speculative
boom in cotton. 1t is much better to
have lost the chance of possible profits in
cotton speculation and TO have attended
to legitimate business than to have ruu
the risk of being swamped with debts by
losses in cotton or any other speculative
operation. Upon the bankers of the
South will rest a great responsibility as
to whether they encourage or discourage
the present speculative operations, not
only of cotton people who are familiar
with the ups and downs OF the trade, but
OF the general public which, according
10 reports, is being drawn into this mael-
strom of speculation

mony to the beneficial effects of your

Eczema, chiefly ON the scalp, face, ears
and neck and on one limb. / was for
several months under professional
treatments, but the remedies prescribed
were of no avail, and l was gradually
becoming worse, my face was dread
fully disfgured and L lost nearly all my
hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon
me to try the Cuticura Remedies and [
gave them a thorough trial with the
most satisfactory results. The disease
soon began to disappear and my halr
commenced to grow again. A fresh
growth of hair is covering my head,
and my limb (although not yet quite
cured) is gradually improving. My wife
thinks so highly of your remedies that
she has been purchasing them IN order
to make presents to other persons suf-
fering from similar complaints, and,
as President of the Bible Women's
Society, has told the Bible women to
report if any case should come under
their notice when a poor person Is so
