ADVISES FARMERS TO

ing the public through the press
that they will teach southern farm
ers lesson to remember and stop
them from forever undertaking to
hold any part of another crop
again.
Will southern farmers surrender
their manhood to the lash of Wall
street spectators!
Letters are coming to me from
farmers all over the south stating
that they will not sell any cotton
now in their possession at present
prices and urging that every farm
er take similar action. Others
propose to enter into an iron-clad
agreement to hold all the cotton
they new have until next Septem-
Der and reduce their cotton acre
age next year - per cent. They
urge me to issue this call for vol
unteers on similar agreement
and Undertake to absolutely tie up
from 100000 to 1900, 900 bales
of the present crop unless prices
90 back to legitimate figures.
We face a serious condition and
not a theory. 1t may cost us
hardships, but the south has been
through much severer struggles
and won cut in their fight for free
dom and independence from the
yoke of foreign domination. The
southern bankers and merchants
should, and | believe will, cordial
~ cooperate with the producers
in their present effort to put the
price Of cotton back to its legiti-
mate value. The whole south is
aroused as never before at the out
rageous doings in Wall street The
farmers were led to believe last
spring by cotton experts all over
the world that the manufacturer
would use, at good prices, all the
cotton that could be raised, and
yet by the time half of the crop is
sold, a lot of gamblers get togeth-
err, headed by Theodore II. Price,
of New York, and force the price
down below the cost of produc-
ton.
We had far better produce a
crop of 10000, 900 bales and sell it
at profit, than to listen to the
splnners demand for large crop
and sell 1T below the cost of pro-
duction. We had better produce
less cotton and more supplies,
thereby winning independence in
agriculture, than to go on buying
supplies to raise large cotton crops
without profit, giving our labor

RELIGIOUS ORDERS TEACHING.
Bill Against Such Practice Passed BY
French Chamber Of Deputies.
fBv the Associated Press ,

Paris, March 2S-By the decisive ma
jority of 316 to 269, the Chamber of
Deputies tonight passed the government
bill for the suppression of all forms of
teaching by the religious orders This
supplements and completes the work be-
gun by the former premier. M. Waldeck-
Rousseau. in 1901.
The first law suppressed the unauthor.
lied teaching orders, which had for a
long time carried on their vocation despite
the lack of legal sanction. The new law
does not make any distinction between
authorized and unauthorized congrega-
tions, but sweeps away the whole fabric OF
teaching by religious orders. thus in effect
substituting the system of state schools
for those heretofore conducted by the
orders.
Besides effecting the educational sys-
tenn, the passage of the bill is the achieve
ments of the principal work undertaken
by Premier Combes.
The bill, which still has to pass the SEN
ate, though no very serious opposition
to it is anticipated there. forbids all
teaching by the religious orders territory
of France proper, and provides TOR the
suppression within ten years OF all orders
actually holding an authorization TO teach.
