Six years ago I had a severe attack o!
Inhammatory Rheumatism. I was laid uE
In bed for six months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
fcines every week and nothing they pre-
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be-
gan the use of SIS. S. Ny knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and pain
full that I could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could not
move knee OF foot. I was.getting discour-
aged, you may be sure, when I beganS S. S.

The advance squadron of the Rus
sian leet is slowly making its way
to the eastward. If Admiral Togo
wants a good chance at these vessels
he can secure it by meeting them in
the straits of Malacca, through which
they will AVE to pass in order to
reach the Pacific ocean. Were he TO
await them there they could not avoid
a battle. 1t may be, though, that Adj
miral Togo is not anxious to tackle
them. and again the Russians may as
semble all the vessels of the feet be-
fore attempting the passage of the
straits. We do not want to see thai

for it may do great damage to Japan's

mand, based upon the supposition OF a
twelve million bale crop the current
issue Of The American Cotton Manu-
facturer, published before the making
public of the governments estimate.
has the following to say, showing that
such a crop would not be n too large
for the worlds needs for the year
1904-05:
For two seasons many manufacturers
have been much misled by the hux OF
figures, and this year a 12,OO0,O00 oaie
crop is generally said TO mean 10"
prices, supposedly because this might
mean a supply greater than the taxing
capacity OF the mills. Up TO September
1st last the miEs took the entire 1sO5-Oi
crop of 1923, $50 bales, besides reducing
the visible supply by some $1,000 bales.
This year picking began so much ear
lier than usual that $780, 600 bales OF this
seasons yield were picked, ginned n
taken in August, SO that the actual
spinners' consumption last year was
1o.474,6 $50 bales.
owing partly to extremely high
prices brought about by speculative
manipulation, but more especially TO
an absolute dearth of supplies, the mills
curtailed their usual working hours to
the extent OF not less than 100000
bales. Add to this the admitted aver
age annual increase in the WORLDS
need for cotton of 400, 900 bales and we
find that, granting that the mills will
work full time during h present crop
year, the normal needs for this period
of American cotton will be about II, 49,
900 bales. The present outlook indicates
a more han normal demand, as news
comes to ham Of unusual activity in
England and on the continent. New
mills are being projected and old ones
long idle, Started up. Then again from
the available supply for this year must
be tak&n the 3OO,O 600 August bales which
really passed into consumption in that
Month.
- 1t is evident therefore that V e a
crop of $4,000, 600 bales will not be more
than enough to go round.

AN APPEAL To THE SOUTH.

The Scotch Society of st. Andrew,
of Charleston, S. c., held its annual
banquet last Wednesday night. The
chief speaker of the evening was Col
onel Harvey, of New York, On the staff
of Harper's Weekly. He began his ora
ton by telling his audience that he
knew they would be surprised to hear
him say he was going to make them a
political speech, rather than deliver an
historical grafton as has been the Gus
tom of the speakers on the occasion
of the annual meetings of the society.
His speech was political, but not of
the kind that his hearers expected
even after he had announced Of what
character it would be. We publish be-
low some extracts from the speech. We
regret that space does not premit of
it's reproduction in full in our columns.
Our readers must bear in mind that
Colonel Harvey is editor Of Harper's
Weekly and a ntive Of the state of
Maine. His subject was the true posi-
tion of the south in the administration
of the affairs of the national overn
ment.
We know that his words here repro
duced will strike a sympathetic chord
in the heart of every southern nan who
cherishes ambitious sentiments for his
section of the country and who has
grown tired of the southern people be-
ing hewers of wood and drawers Of va
ter for the leaders of the democratic
party in the northern states.
When we say south in this connection
we mean the southern democracy,
which a for forty years bowed in
every instance to the will of that por-
o and Dfxon's line.
From The Evening Post, of Charles
ton. we take the following reference
to Colonel Harvey's address:
Colonel Harvey, an independent DEM
Ocrat. of democratic a~ntecedentS, the
most pronounced, is we'll entitled to the
right he claims to speak to southern
democrats in expectation of a sympa-
thetic audience. That should be assur-
ed to any man who comes with fair
speech from a true heart, and, we be-
iieve, is, but the sentimental conSid ara
tiCn presented in Colonel Harvey's per-
sonality Immediately commands the
most open hearted appreciation. But
] the message that he brings is the thing.
1t is a call to the south to take again
the leadership of the democratic party
and restore that organization to the
| reality of craftsmanship it vas before,
when the men of the south directed its
ways.
Colonel Harvey'S proposal is present
ed directly and forcibly in the two fol-
lowing passages from his address of
last evening":
THE west and the east have had OPP
p~ortunities for forty years and have
i faile1. Now what of the south? Here
| the democratic party had its birth, here
it produced a line of statesmen such as
no nation has ever known. OF the ff-
| teen administrations ending in 1861. all
but two were democratic, and Of these
thirteen terms nine were served by
southern men and six by the founders
of the party-Thomas Jefferson. James
Madison and James Monroe. While the
south. as represented by these graf
men,, was in the saddle, there was no
suggestion Of unfitneSs to govern. Ad-
herence to principle, sagacity in states
manship, conservatism in action, faith

DO NOT BE

The report of the government agricul-
turaI department. issued yesterday
morning. placed the cotton crop at r.
1921 coo bales. !
The farmers should not let this
brighten them. OF course the specula-
tors on the bear side of the market
and the cotton mill men will use these
record breaking figures Is an argument
for lowering the price of the raw ma
terial. They can succeed only when
the holders of spot cotton become
frightened and rush it or the market.
The mill men are bound to nav cotton
or shut down their mills temporarily.
Now is the time for the farmers TO
take a firmer grip on what cotton he
has and hold it until the furry over the
governments estimate has passed.
The immediate result of this govern
ment report will be to lower the price,
but it cannot stay down long if there
is only a small amount of cotton put
on the market.
Not in years have the farmers been
SO well situated for holding their cotton
as now. If they turn it loose and there
by play into the hands of the bears,
aiding in keeping the price down it will
be their own fault.
Twelve million bales is a mighty big
49,, +-,a. hJrt 80 thu uo-I1 w;l1
onsum that much cotton in the year
it is none too large to demand a good
price on the market.
: The men who want to buy cotton
as cheaply as possible and who do every
thing TO bear the market will now raise
the cry of over-production and a pie
thora of the staple on the market.
The farmers must not be fooled by
this cry. Many of them are able to
hold their cotton and we are glad to
know, from conversation with many OF
them, that they are doing Sc. 1t is
nothing unusual these days to hear
farmers in the eastern section of our
state declare that they have cotton;
that they are not compelled by pecun-
larry necessities TO sell it at present
prices. and that they are not going to
do so. Every bale held off the market
adds tina much to the strength OF the
market and makes higher prices pos
sible.
