FOR TEN.cEM COTTON
An Enterprise the Object Of Which Is
to Fix the Prize Of Cotton

W TX INC FrIoe ot Votton
WASHINGTON: Colonel X. s.
Peters of Texas, president of the Cot.
ton Growers Protective association,
has succeeded in floating an enter.
pri.e which, he says. will mean ten
cent cotton always. He Is on ais
way home for New York, where H.,
has been for some tine in conference
with financial men of national reputa.
tiOn, whom he has succeeded in IN
teresting in his scheme.
Colonel Peters is one of the incOr.
porators OF the Southern Cotton cor.
poration, just formed with abundant
capital, for the purpose of CONTROL.
ing the cotton output of the southern
states. The corporation will estab-
lish warehouses throughout the cot
ton states and give the farmers re-
ceipts for all the cotton received.
These receipts will pass current, and
will be as good as gold," says the
colonel.
The corporation WIFI hold the cotton
for a price fixed, regulated by the
supply and demand.
1T is our purpose" said Colonel
Peters, Ito fix the price of our cot.
ton, instead of allowing it to be fixed
in Liverpool and New York by spin.
ners and spectators. 1t will be i'm.
possible for us to get our scheme in
operation in time to handle this
years crop, but We will be ready for
business before the cotton is picked
next year, and in two or three years
We are confident Of being able to con.
troll the output 1t will be a bless
ing to the cotton planters of the
SOUTH"
Colonel Peters said that among the
men who are Interested with him in
the enterprise is a New York finan.
cier, whose check Is good for $780,
100000. The matter is to be dis
cussed at the convention of the Farm.

not the least doubt that the enter
prise will be in operation before next
year, and will prove very beneficial
to the growers Of cotton.

NEW Atmosphere ON THE

In broad sense the farm is becom.
Ing more attractive every year. The
telephone and the rural delivery serv-
ice. the greatly improved machinery
for cultivation and handling of crops,
the dawn Of the township high and
the consolidated district school, the
formation of debating clubs and WON.

churches. and the advent of the inter-

have created a new atmosphere for
the farmer. The day when the aver.

TURkO.ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.

For ages the Armenians and the
Turks and Kurds have been the bit.
terest of enemies and have waged
upon each other warfare exceeding
In barbarity the conflicts of savage
African or American Indian tribes.
Each seeks to outdo the other in
atrocity. Neither can have the
worlds unmixed sympathy. Protests
by other powers will avail little.
There will be constant Turkish az
gressions In Armenia and barbarous
reprisals by that country's people un.
til sometime and somehow the prov.
ince Is placed under control of q pow
er strong enough to repress Turk and
Armenian alike. Just now the world
Is too busy.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

NO MONOPOLY OF PATRIOTISM.

Englishmen, and by Englishmen we
mean also lrishmen and Scotchmen,
have died as bravely as any Japanese
soldier ever died. The same Is true
OF Americans. of Freshmen, and of
every nationality. There is no braver
soldier or fiercer fighter than the
Abyssinian. Englishmen know how
bravely the Matabeles can die. In
the recent slaughter of Tibetans they
died like stoics, fighting as best they
could. Physical courage is fine
quality, but it is quite common
quality. Moral courage Is finer
quality, but not SO common. Every
war has its heroes. The war between
the state abounded in heroic deeds
and unsurpassed exhibitions of forti-
tude. Patriotism is Indigenous, SO to
speak, to all lands-thOugh more high
ly developed in some than in others.

LAssA NO LONGER SACRED.

The romance of the forbidden city
has expired. The Caucasian has set
his foot in the city of the grand lama.
The European is gazing upon the
white palace with the golden roofs
that crowns the sacred hill from
which for centuries the Buddhist pope
has reigned. In other centuries few
Europeans managed to reach Lassa.
These struggling adventurers were
agents of religion; they wanted Lassa
for Christianity. They were. easily
driven away. The present invaders
are agents of political ambition-they
will stay.-Philadelphia Ledger.
