THE EFFECT OF iliGH COTTON.

The Manufacturers Record of Balti
more, in review of the effect Of the
present prices Of cotton on the pros
perity Of the South, points out that
in the last five years, during which
there has been gradual rise in the
price until the present very high fig
ures have been reached, the excess in
the value Of the South's cotton crop
over the preceding five years is $500,
100000. The magnitude Of this cx
cess and the influence which it must
have upon the prosperity Of the whole
country, especially upon the South, is
illustrated in the fact that it is nearly
twice as much as the entire capital in
vested in all the cotton mills Of the
United States in 1900, it is about
equal to the present market value Of
the entire property of the United
States Steel Corporation, it is more
than the market value Of the Standard
Oil Co., and more than the entire
capital Of all the national banks OF the
United States, For the 6rst Two or
= |saaifee years Of this fve-year period tho
Southern farmers used their increased
earnings to pay up debts; then they
began TO accumulate little, and this
year they will be ID shape to spend
more freely than for many years.
Commencing with 1891, there was q
very heavy decline in the price Of cot
ton, continuing until 1898.99, when
the average in New York for twelve
months was six cents q pound. The
crop Of that year Of 1924, 900 bales,
the largest ever produced, was worth
e2s2, 100000, while the crop of the
past year Of about 100000 bales
will be worth about 100000, 900.
The value Of the seed in cash gear
vas about s50,0o9,000. So that the
total income Of Southern farmers from
their cotton and cotton seed last year
will not be less that $3.50, 900, 900, or
at least 1920, 100000 moro than the
big crop Of 1893 yielded. The total
production of cotton for the last Eve
years has not been very much in ex-
cess of the total production for the
preceding five years; but for the last
five years the total value has been
s2,575, ,O0O,O 900, against 81, ,775, ,OOO, 600
for the five preceding years, much of
the great gain being during last year
and this.

Year. The report is that i, ha, hai
an excellent effect, and the rule will
be continued When the rule was
made it caused tiuttcrng in the nor
NAL schools. 1t was feared that it
might bar out some of the best stu
dents. The practical result, how
ever, was not to discourage those who
expected to be candidates, but to
stimulate them to take proper care of
their health. DR.. julie Holmes Smith,
WHO was largely instl GENITAL in hav-
ing the new rule adopted, says: "In
one short year the effect Of the plan
has been to arouse the young women
to the necessity Of care for their
health. Knowing that this cxamina-
tion was coming, these girls have
taken care Of themselves. They have
had soup for lunch instead of few
cookies They have not dicted, as
they used to, on slate pencils and
pickles. ~ When it is considered how
dependent the teachers mental dispo-
sition is upon her state Of health, and
tha. chcerfulncss, patience, forbear-
ancc and similar qualities, requisites
in the good teacher, seldom go with
weak and impoverished bodies, the
reasonablcness Of the requirement
would seem TO need no argument.

All hail! We sons and daughters of Vermont,
Who still abids upon. her mountain slopes,
Or by her streams which through the valleys

My hearty greeting unto each give,
For though dwell apart from native heath,
Yet with you a com noa bir:hright claim
An inspiration from the men who laid
Foundations Itor the state, the school, the

From meu who built thereon and well main
tanned
Their sacred trust,-tbe honor of the state.
I greet your wooded hills on which at morn
The suns first rays proclaim the coming day;
greet your valleys fair, your win Ii ng
streams,
Your meadows green AMI. fields of rip'ni ng
grain,
Waere oft the song of boooIink is heard.
Or cuckoo, calling to his mate, "Cuckoo!"
I greet our mountains grand, upon whose
crest
The sun at eve oft leaves his gilded rays,
Aud on the clouds his parting glory shows
Till earth aud clouds and sky together blend
Then fac from sight as night her curtain
draws.
1 greet thee, native state, and this my prayer.
That in thy borders plenty may abound,
And love and peace in all thy homes abide

The MONITOR has broken the first
ice in county politics by bringing
forward two candidates for the Office
of county senator in the south end.
Both of the aforementioned candi-
dates have been known to US for
many years. Both are we'll known
throughout the county. What has
been said of them is not idle praise, but
facts that can be borne out by their
daily walks ia life. 1t seems a pity,
however, that two good men, both in
the sympathy of the public, should be
pitted against each other at the
present time. Neither is 1t pleasure
for an editor, equally friendly with
both, to draw line between the two.
Each will evidently carry his own
town, and We trust that either one, if
finding the neighboring towns in favor
of the opposite man, will withdraw
in the others favor. We prophesy
this will be done. While voicing our
sentiments for Homer in the past,
and with no desire to throw cold
water on his candidacy in the present
instance, our belief, expressed some
months ago, that Chauncey was the
man for the Office of senator, leads Us
to support him for the coming term.
In the first place, Skinner has never
been a candidate for the Office before.
He is a man who believes the people
should choose the man and not the
man the Office; and We can almost
guarantee, if he finds out the opposi-
ton towards his candidacy is great,
that he will not be in the race. The
industry he has built up in Maine
stamps him as thorough business
man. Yet during those years he has
been shut out from friends and family
he has not forgotten his home town
or that he is an Orleans county boy.
His interest has been at home, and
his outside investments in bis home
town. His election to the Office of
representative few years ago was a
surprise to him at the time; but, as
the MONITOR states, he rendered
most efficient service" His integrity,
temperance principles, thorough bust
ness tact and unblemished character
stamp him as a worthy subject for
the Office of county senator, and one
needed to help settle the vexed ques-
ton that is to come up before US.
In connection with the two candi-
dates for senator in the south end, we
take pleasure in mentioning the name
of George FL. Prouty for the north
end, and, as we believe, without one
opposing candidate in the field. He
certainly is the choice of the people
in his home town, and we believe OF
the adjoining towns as well. Like Mr.
Skinner, he is delicate about pushing
himself to the front. If the people
, want him, he is ready to go and dc
his duty to the best of his ability. He
is a popular man in town. His traits
: of character. temperance principles
business interests, and interests il
: home affairs are almost identical will
4 Skinner, one of the south end candi
dates. We cannot help but feel tina
the two will make strong team, anG

COUNTY COURT.

Last Monday afternoon the case of
Kate Fl. Fuller VS.. Fred Smith was
taken up. This was Charleston
case and the plaintiff claimed that
sometim during the month of May,
1903, the defendant set fires upon his
land, which aojoined that Of the
plaintiff, and that these fires ran upon
her land, thereby destroying large
amount of fence, timber land and
growing grass. The ground of
liability claimed was that the de-
PENDANT was negligent in setting the
fires at all and that he made little or
no effort to check them after they
were set. The defendants evidence
tended to show that the fire which
ran over the plaintiffs land did not
originate upon bis land but came
from other fires, and that if the
defendant was at fault, the fire did
the plaintiffs land good rather than
injury. The jury took the case
Thursday morning and found for the
plaintiff to recover the sum of SS5 and
costs. Dale and Amey and E. A. Cook
appeared for the plaintiff and J. W.
Redmond for the defendant.
The next case to be taken up was
the case of Frank Kellum VS.. Willie
Porter. A jury was impanelled, but
no sooner had this been done when it
was discovered that there was trouble
with the pleadings, the question con-
corning which was raised by the
defendant, and the case was con-
tinued without further trial.
When this case was disposed of it
appeared that nearly all the civil
cases still standing for trial had
either been continued or settled 50
that only one case remained, which
was the case of Hiram o: Miller vs..
Betsey Stebbins.
About one week will probably be
consumed in the trial of criminal
cases and divorce case.
The following divorces have been
heard and granted: =.
Emma j. Kimban vs.. Oscar. Kim
ball, bill granted for intolerable
severity. Young and Young for the
petitioner.
William NJ. Picord VS.. Ida Picord
bill granted for adultery.
Friday afternoon Michael Blay Of
Derby was brought into court charged
with horse stealing and pleaded not
guilty to the charge.
