PAYING DOLLAR FOR PICKING
Nimble Fingers Command Fancy
Pay for Nabbing the FIeecy.

While cotton pickers have been and
are now very scarce in Terrell county,
and have commanded somewhat better
pay than in previous years, the
farmers here have not had to pay as
much for gathering the crop as some
are paying in neigh boring counties.
The Albany Herald reports that in
certain neighborhood of Dougherty
county they are paying Sl.00 per
hundred pounds to pickers, and even
these prices are not bringing as many
of them as is desired.
The dry, warm weather has forced
the opening of the staple in manner
that has caused the farmers to be-
come almost frantic in itheir efforts TO
get it gathered. Nearly all of the
crop will be out of the fields before the
close of the present month, and the
receipts from then on will be small.

NO one viii ever hear from the
Times a word OF excuse or palliation
of Judge Parker's two votes for w. j..
Bryan: Any reasoning by which de-
tense Of his going with his party in
1886 and 1900 might be attempted
would pretty certainly be false and
dangerous. From the point of view of
sound money Democrats Judge Parker
was guilty either of fault in political
morals or of serious error in judg-
ment in the Bryan campaigns. Which
ever it was he will in some measure
suffer the penalty this year, since it
cannot be doubted that this supporter
Bryan will ALLEVIATE some Democratic
support from him.

it was necessary that the lawyer should

Jackson, Miss, July .-(Special.)
A political prophet at Raymond has
put forth a very weird prediction. The
Raymond seer says that the Parker
and Davis ticket will be elected, but
Vice President Davis will die of eX-
haustion during the inaugural cere-
monies, and that on the morning of
June II, 1906, at 1882 o'clock, Presi-
dent Parker will be at his home at
Esopus and will dive into the Hudson
river and never come up again. John
Sharp Williams, who is slated for
Secretary of State, will then succeed
to the Presidency.

A Wide-Awake Campaign Needed.

New York World (Dem)l
1t is a matter of disappointment and
regret that a man of greater ability,
better training and larger experience
than Thomas Taggart could not have
been found for chairman of the Dem
ocratic National committee. His
choice is but another sign of the
times. indicating that politics has be-
come too much trade or business
rather than an adjunct of statesman
ship.
However. Mr.. Taggart seems to have
been the best man available. He ap-
parently possesses certain qualities
that are useful in such a position. If
he will make up in action what he
lacks in educario and will henceforth
practice little of Judge Parker's ST
lence-and especially if he will carry
his own State of Indiana for Judge
Parker in commendable campaign
he will demonstrate beyond doubt the
propriety of his choice
1t is high time that the managers
OF the party organization should wake
up. There is a vast amount of work
to be done if Judge Parker is to be
elected. So lar the politicians have
done nothing since the nominations
were made. All that has been accom-
plished since Judge Parker's history
making telegram has been done by
the newspapers. Judge Parker can
not be elected by Boosting Or lying, |
as Committeeman Mack and McCarren
and other politicians OF their class
have been doing in their loud talk that |
the Democratic ticket is sure to sweep |
the country.
The World will continue to support
Judge Parker, but it will not lie for |
him. 1t hopes that he Will carry New
York. and sincerely believes that he
will, if no blunders are made. and
here is an intelligent, thorough, wide
wake campaign.

phatic but not brusque. He dispelled
all doubt in the mind of Judge Parker
as to what he expected to have done
with Patrick McCarren and the chair

sition.

Judge Parker, that the question must
