Up Against 1t.

The Chronicle has been cup
against it" for the past two weeks.
Besides being overrun with tre-
mendous amount of New Year
printing, which has prevented us
from devoting the necessary atten-
ton to the paper, our patent in
sides" have been lost on the rail-
road and we have been forced to
come out for the past two issues on
the "half she'll" However, since
the writer has had to be editor,
manager, publisher, job printer,
solicitor, collector, entertainer, and
errand boy for family of ten, to say
nothing of performing the very irk-
some duty of town marshal, we
think we have succeeded pretty well
to get out any kind of paper.
Girls, don't go to church and
take back seat with your escort
and then whisper and giggle dur
ing the services. Don't be loud,
boisterous or slangy. Don't larry
your heart in your sleeve; don't
stand on your head, and don't
throw yourself into the arms of ev-
cry well dressed man that comes to
town. Be womanly, be modest. be
serious at times, don't unsex your.
self and thus lose a woman's great
est charm. Don'tregard your long

and above all things don't play
"a Hot Time" on the piano when
your old mother is having "hoI

AND a HALF CENTS,
Market Reached Yesterday the Very
Top Notch.

Top Notch.
Thirteen and a half cents was freely
paid in Americus yesterday for spot
cotton, and the variety demanded was
not of frog hair or egg fuzz fneness,
either. The buyers wanted the cotton
and got it at the price named. This is
the very pinnacle of high prices for the
entire season, for while cotton has
brought within fraction of 1879 cents
here for some time, not until yester-
day was that even price paid. This
made bale of 500 lbs. weight worth
$67 50-more than such bale has sold
for In score of years. Considerable
cotton was hauled in to the warehouses
here yesterday, and farmers thus
caught the market at food tide. Only
few years ago cotton dropped to 5
cts. pound here, or $25 bale. Now
it is worth nearly three times that sum,
and is still hunting a foothold among
the stars.

Roosevelt May Attack Tobacco Trust.

The following report from the
Washington Correspondent of the
Raleigh Post will be read with in
terest by tobacco growers every
where:
During the past few weeks the
President has repeatedly dropped
mysterious hints of a determination
to go after certain trusts that he
regards as especially obnoxious. The
American Tobacco Company is one
of these. 1t is known that the Pres
ident considers this corporation one
that comes within the scope of the
antitrust law. In fact he has re-
Gently said that it was the worst
trust in existence. Some of the
Presidents close friends are pre-
dieting that he will cause the De
partment of Justice to institute pro-
ceedings against the American To-
bacco Company within a very short
time. The President has firmly re-
solved to proceed against certain
trusts, according to some of his close
friends and advisers. His only quail
ifcation is that he would wait for
the proper time for action The
Presidents friends who have talked
with him on this subject declare that
he is dead earnest and they interpret
the proper time to be at an early
date"
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-15

Cockren, will be Republican by a plu-
rality of two votes.
Both parties claim to have carried
Colorado on the State ticket, but
Alva Adams, Democrat, is leading.
Roosevelt's plurality is about $4,000.
Governor La Toilette carried Wis
consin by $4,000, and says he con-
trolls the Legislature. Babcock's ma
jority for Congress is only 284.
The election of John A. johnson,
Democrat, as Governor of Minneso-
ia, is assured. Roosevelt's plurality
there may reach $4,000.
In Massachusetts the plurality of
William L. Douglas, Democrat, for
Governor, is 1910, though the State
is heavily Republican on the Nation
al ticket.
Governor L. F. @. Garvin, Demo
crat, was defeated in Rhode Island
by only 594 votes.
The chances favor the success of
George W. Berge, Fusionist, for
Governor of Nebraska, though there
was a landslide for Roosevelt in the
State.
