SUPERIOR TO SOCIAL aILE
Senator Who Failed 10 Recognize the
Necessity Of Wel1-Estab-
Eshed Usages.

The divinity that doth hedge about a
senator IS an attribute of great value III
Washington. Elevators change their
courses, &C up or down, stop. or continue
in their fight as the senatorial within die
tates. Even in their social relations they
the not expected to conform to the US
ages that bind lesser mortals. Al curious
instance Of the privileges they are given
and their attitude toward them is going
the rounds of late, says a Washington
letter in New York Post.
The wife Of a prominent officer gave a
dinner party toa dignitary the other
night and invited among others a we'll
known senator. On the evening Of the
party all OF the guests had assembled at
the dinner hour except the senator. They
waited half an hour while the soup grew
cold. Finally when her guests began tc
faget at the delay the hostess went to
the phone and called up the senator S
hotel.
The senator is at dinner and cannot
pc disturbed, z was the astonishing mes
sage that she received. When she in
sisted on speaking to him the private
secretary of the great man came to the
phone. Tell him it is Mrs. Blank. said
the hostess. After an interval the secre-
tary returned:
The senator says he does not know
you and wants to know what you want
to talk to him about
Tell him that am Mrs, Blank. the
wife OF Gen. Blank. The senator has an
engagement to dine at my house tonight
and we are waiting for him. want to
know why he does not come.
Another long pause. The secretary s
voice over the phone again. semiapolo-
seelc and ready to open negotiations
locking to overtures of peace. The SEN
ator thinks there must be some mistake
He says that the dinner is for tomorrow
night. Isn't it?',
No: the dinner is tonight. said the
now exasperated hostess. Il wrote the
senator only yesterday to. remind him
OF his engagement.
Another mumbIed conference at the
senator's end of the wire. and then the
seeretaryss hesitating voice: Yes. the
senator has received your note. but he
thought that you would write him fur
tf1er on the subject before any definite
action was taken"
Mrs, Blank has no ready defense
against this official phrase and surren-
dered at discretion, only asking that the
senator would hurry to Keep his appoint
ment. He arrived unabashed an hour
late, and seemingly unconscious that any
blame should be attached to him fo1
keeping the other dinner guests and his
hostess waiting long after the dinner
hour.

Address i Mississippians.

The following official document was
issued from the headquarters Of the
Mississippi Cotton Growers Assoela-
#tion IN Jackson last week:
Considering the short time since;
organization, it is truly gratifying to
note the splendid work done in Mis-
sissipni. But little more than one
month has elapsed since the Missis-
sippi division Of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association took official
shape Yet, in that time, nearly every
county has effected organization It
is true, none have yet attained full
growth. but all are busy through the
agency OF active committees, adding
to enrolment Of members. Reports
show that membership is rapidly
growing from hundreds IN each
county into thousands. Thus in a
short time the rolls in our State will
contain nearly, If not all, OF the 200
COG actual growers of cotton. operat-
ing in the fields. In addition, each
county and city is adding. its quota of
business and professional men. None
are holding back. Banks. oil mills,
congresses and merchants are gradu-
ally and surely swelling the move
ment, making for the cpmmon good
Of our State. The repoets from the
financial agent eyince the spirit with
which persons IN every calling are
contributing to swell the treasury
fund.- The Organizer is working as
siduous1y, while prominent men in
public life from all over the State are
spIendidly seconding his efforts.
Headquarters have been estab-
Iished at the capitol. Rooms 304 and
306, adjoining those Of the railroad
commission, will be the central Office
Of the secretary hereafter. The e1-
ecuIive committee, with the concur
renee Of President Walter Clark, es-
tablished headquarters as above, in

WORTHY OF RUFUS cHoATE
Senator Bacon's Asezquipeda1ity''
Never Ezcelled IN Congress
sional History.

TO Senator Beacon of Georgia is as
eribed the credit Of evolving the most
marvellous sentence ever emitted in de
bate in the senate. It was when the ag-
rieultural bill was up. Bacon feeIed this
combination Of words off when discus
sing the strip question. It is asserted
that no man can parse the sentence and
that only Bacon could have emitted it
without falling by the Wayside. Read:
THE senator will probably remember
that last year when this matter was be-
fore the senate we had some little colo
guy about it and tried to explain to the
senate that the purpose OF this appropri
alton was to endeavor by experiments
on the part of the government to deter
mine upon a process Which, when gen
orally used. would result IN such uni
fornlity Of production as would enable
the article to become an article of gen
era1 merchandise, or, rather, generally
marketable, explaining. as did. all the
time, that while this strip had been made
for century all through that part of the
country, and successfully. it was made
simply by farmers for their own use and
for a little local consumption, so that al
most as many different processes were
used and as many different producers;
that in consequence when an article Of
the kind was put upon the market no
body knew what that particular article
was without samnling it. and it was the
design Of the department to establish
plant BY which a regular standard pro
cess should be inaugurated and SO gen
orally become known throughout the
country that it would be generally adopt
ed and the product would be Of a uniform
character"

SOMETHING 70 SILL EVERY DAY.

Ct business in the South and there
never will be.
The cotton company is the result
OF the New Orleans convention We
realized that we had this surplus Of
100000 bales and that the Southern
people should take care Of it, and
that to do so it would have to be
held Our plan is to get up a stock
company of s10,000,000. But we are
going to wait until May / before we
begin this. We can't tell until then
whether the acreage is going to be
reduced, and unless it is reduced we
went ask you to hold a bale five
minutes.
Another solution OF the cotton
problem is to get broader markets for
our cotton. There are 100000, coo
people in Asia who ought to be wear
ing cur cotton On their backs. Get
the world to consuming 25,000,090 IN
stead Of 100000 bales.
The farmer who doesn't reduce his
acreage is an enemy to his country
as well as to himself I think that
this is one time the American farmer
is going to live up to what he says.
