Lies nesting a seed
To come to fruition
For weary ones need.

So worn with the strife?
Thy future will show II
In new, stronger life;
The days will be richer.

had been rumored that Colonel Mosby had been sent to Montgomery Mobile, and Birmingham by the President to look over the field of Republican pos abilities for office. IL is pretty well known that in the near future there will be many changes in the different departments of Alabama.
 President Roosevelt has had mum Der of visits from very prominent Ala bamians recently and nothing especial ly complimentary has been told him of the States Republican organization. Some of the individuals have not been given high recommendation by these visitors and the rumor has it that if Colonel Mosby cannot find the proper Republican persons for the positions, he may suggest Democrats of high standing.
 Republicans of Alabama protest that tho Presidents referees Charles H, Scott and Joseph O. Thompson are still in high favor with the President, but recent developments have strengthened the repeated assertions that Messrs

 Colonel Mosby on the other hand Is said to be high in the regard of the President. His unique war record ap peals to man of Mir. Roosevelt's char acter and Colonel Mosby Is now par ticularly in the public eye on account of popular monthly magazines having taken up features connected with his life and adventures.
 Two Democrats have been prominent ly mentioned in conection yl;h Colonel Mosby's visit. Some say that Hon. George F. Moore of Montgomery, United States District Attorney under President Clevcland's administration may he rendered the same position un- der MT. Roosevelt and it is further said that Captain Charles T.

Fifteen Cents For Cotton.

Atlanta, December lO.-Rchard
Clrhthnm, secretary Of tho Southern
Cotton Association, in an open letter
to tho cotton growers Of the South,
today urges them to hold for - cent
cotton. He says in part:
"Ihc cotton growers of the South,
through and with the assistance of
tl!elr organization, the Southern Cot
ton Association, HrG slowly but surely
winning he greatest commercial bat
Tie ever known to tho world.
"On September : the Association
advised the farmers to ask II cents
tor their cotton, as conditions fully
warranted that price. Many fixed
that price and sold for it.
"Now. the fact that the crop is very
short has been established beyond the
shadow of q doubt, and only Il small
remnant OF that left unsold, also that
the markets arc bare of dry goods, with
future prices formally advanced, cot
ton mills arc loaded down WITH con.
tracts and orders for goods for several
months ahead. and only with about
one half enough cotton in sight to fill
them. Hold yonr cotton for Is cents.
:Hundrcts of thousands OF bales
are beng pledged to the Southern
Cotton Association for IS cents
enough to force the price to it's value

Next Years Cotton Crop.

Atlanta. Ga. ,. December iO.-Presi-
Cotton Association, issued u circular
letter to the farmers of the South to-
day regarding n reduction in cotton
a5Iougo foT 1906. The letter says in
part:
"The Southern Cotton Association
will not ask the farmers of the South
to reduce the cotton acreage for 1906
less t han that planted in 1906. The
Association does ask, and insist with
oil the force at it's command, however.
that the acreage planted in cotton
throughout the belt IN 1905 be not in
creased during the planting season of
1906, Let the watchword Of every
Southern farmer. be diversitlcation,
abundance OF food supplies to main
tain each farm. 7..'
"The present estimated twenty
seven million acres planted in cotton
is sufficient under normal climate con-
dtetODs to produce enough cotton to
meet the demands ct the spinners for
the American staple. Any material
increase In the cotton acreage Of 1908
will tend to stagnRte the cotton mar
ket and depress pricee below their
legitimate value. The Legitimate law
OF supply and demand is the only true
medium OF regulating fair and legiti-
mate prices for our great staple pro-
President Jordan. closes the letter
with strong appeal to the farmers to
plant an abundance Of, small grain,
corn and side crops, and urges them
to. raise more hay, cattle and hogs
that the farms may become more self
