A Joke on the Ma 10 v.

Rather good Joke is told Oh Major
Spaulding of the Portland hotel
The other evening one of the boarders,
after partaking of beans two or
three times the same day wrote on
slip of paper the following; See
Heb. 1873 " He rolled the paper up
and put it in the dish of beans. The
dish was moved after the meal 10
the kitchen where the cook discovered
the note and went with it to Major
Spaulding, the genial manager. who
got his bible. brushed the dust from
its covers, and turned to the quotation
referred to, which read like this:
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and
tooay and forever -

Gone Cotton Mad.

According to the Atlanta Journal
the south has gone cotton mad" and
its advice to the planters and holders
of cototn is to sit steady in the
boat. The advice is good, for the
fool that rocks the boat is often
financial or speculative fool, just as
he is the sort of fool that rocks the
actual boat and brings about a
drowning in consequence. The state
of Georgia has sold the cotton grown
ou it's prison farm for 1915 cents "A
pound, against 8 cents received in 1909
Individual planters have realized az
high as 10 cents, while others are hold.
ing out for the excessively high price
OF 20 cents per pound. There is
bound to be break in conditions.
According to the best statistics and
the best evidence obtainable from
southern soruces, private and official,
l2 cents is the approximately right
value of cotton under existing circum.
stances, and there can be nothing but
speculative prices in the SUBMITS to
whicn cotton has attained in the
markets.
1t makes nothing for prosperity
and nothing for future conditions of
cotton that two Savannah brokers,
IN one day, 'ceaned up" 800. 900 on
the rise in cotton. Bigger cleanings
up than that ha ye occurred in Wall
street. and are daily occurring but
they are nothing but evidences of
speculation and evidences OF the
danger there is IN the smaller boats
venturing from shore in the belief
that conditions have changed and that
cotton will for all time, be king at
25 cents q pound or in that neighbor-
hood Such belief is foolish and
can work nothing bat disaster.
Present high prices for cotton are
speculative and not substantial, and
the reaction is certain to come. He
will be wise planter who lets go of
his holdings at present prices. and he

Florence is just now experiencing
tha greatest production OF oil in its
history.
Both the Florence Oil company aud
the United Oil company refneries are

undoubtedly both refineries will have

notice
A man in position to know stated
yesterday that the production Of the
Florence oil field today is about 8. 500
barrels.
Both the United and Florence COM
panies have increased their output
lately. The latter, cleaned out a num-
Der of its wells and as result is reap
ing in some instances about a fifty per
cent increase. The former has opened
up some big wells which has mater

duction.
Then there is the keystone, Colum-

of dollars will be spent here during
