and that this would mean that the par

mont as a private asset and plundering

still farther and said that it would be a
disgrace to the Democratic party for 1t
to adopt such platform rs this. and that

The Cotton Fields.

Mr.. Daniel j. Sully, the man who re-
Gently came into notorictS by bulling the
cotton market and afterwards failing for
several millions, says that during the
remainder OF his life he will employ his
energy and experience In an effort to
benefit the cotton growers Of The South,
by introducing modern methods which.
will bring about higher culture OF the
staple, together with a moro scientific
method of handling cotton, from the
time 1t leaves the farmer until 1t reaches
tho consumer. s
We do not know what he will be able
to accomplish in this direction but there
Is q fine opportunity for somebody to
exploit tho cotton fields of tho South.
Tho lands are by no means all employed
from year to year In cotton culture.
The demand for raw cotton grows apace.
and Europeans are making strenuous ef-
forts to promote the cotton growing In
dustry on that side OF the ocean. But
the South Is the natural cotton field.
and every acre or cotton land should be
cultivated to, tho best advantage. 1t
would be O. hard matter now for the
South to ovcrstoc1 the2 world with raw
cotton. t 9AR}' 7oss ~ t5>ef.
