disquiet an entire family for a whole
day; one surly glance will cast gloom
over the household; while a smile,
like CLEAN of sunshine, may light up
the darkest and weariest house. Like
unexpected flowers, which spring up
along our path, full Of freshness, frag-
rance, and beauty, we should speak
kind words, do gentle acts, and culti-
vate sweet dispositions, which makes
glad the household where peace and
happiness dwells, no matter how
humble the abode may be. If it be
thus garnished with grace, and
sweetened with kindness and smiles,
the heart will turn obedienty toward
it from all the tumult Of the world,
and it will be the dearest spot beneath
the sun. Seeing then, cheerfulness is
productive of much happiness, let US
all endeavoI- matter how dark the
gloom may be-to help to brighten it
by our smiles, and so live towards
others that they will keep your
memory green when the grass grows
on your grave. As the poet has said:
"A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion, or tear,
Has often hea led heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere.
Speak gently. tits little thing,
Dropped in the hearts deep we'll
The good, the joy. that it may bring.

their cotton at 611a and Tots l have
met many men who sold their best
grades at these prices, who later en-
sold their lowest grades for 1O1acts.
The cotton buyer will certainly not
pay 11cts for cotton if lie can buy
it for 101a. Ifyou sell cotton for 10
or lOActs., you certainly cannot
raise the price to 11cts., SO you see
this matter is entirely in your hands.
Your executive committee fixed this
price after mature deliberation.
They were we'll advised as to the con-
ditlon of the crop. surplus and dry
goods market; / consider their action
conservative, and believe that in q
very short while, you will realize
this price, and / urge you not to sell,
provided, of course, you can finance
your holdings. If you are forced to
sell, sell as little as possible. |
would also advise and urge you to
devote your entire time and attention
for the next thirty days at least to
the gathering Of the crop what you
hold, hold in the seed, rs the loss is
less.
have this morning received the
following telegram from the presi-
dent Of the South Carolina division:
Encourage your people to hold;
eastern crop shorter than expected
Your committee were of the
opinion that with normal conditions
81 million bales would be the
maximum crop; of course, to some ex-
tent this is guess work, but we shall
endeavor to keep you posted about the
conditions in all parts CT the
country.
The bears point to the large re.
ceipts. For the past 5 weeks pick
ing has been very general in parts Of
Texas and the eastern belt. In many
places, am informed that the pick
ing will be finished by Oct 10th.
This cotton has been ginned and sold
at from 1923 to 101acts. having been
sold it necessarily follows that it
should appear at the ports. In many
sections the cotton has opened pre-
maturely and everything points to the
shortest crop we have raised for years.
Do not sell your cotton for less than
11cts., and do not sell all for that
price. Feed the market slowly.

A WORD FROM PRESIDENT JOR-
DAN.

Sept. 30, 1906. To the farmers of
Mississippi: st trust that you will
get into close touch with tho ,presi-
dents Of your various county divisions
and issue an address asking them to
call their people together, or to write
letters to the members Of the asso-
citation, urging them to refuse to sell
cotton at present prices. We must
check.up the present heavy movement
of Cotton. 1t will be utterly i'm.
possible to advance the market SO long
as receipts are as heavy as they are at
the present time. In the face of so
short a cotton prospect, it does not
appear to be very unbusiness like for
farmers to sell their cotton at or
below 10cts, per pound, when by
checking up receipts they soon advance
the market to our minimum price OF
11cts. ! hope to have your active co.
operation along this line =

RemOnStranCs Is Out in an e.
fort to Kill the improvement
Advocates Confident.
IN MINORITY.
It Is Believed Those Opposed to
the Pavement Will Fail
in Effort.

There is more Of a fight on in the
State street paving matter than would
appear on the surface. A remon-
STRANGE is being circulated, by some
opponents Of progress, against the
proposed asphalt pavement on State
street. from Smith street north to the
Lehigh Valley bridges. A number
have evinced a willingness to sign the
remonstrance, which win be pre-
sented, it Is expected, at the next
meeting of the Board Of Aldermen.
Those who are actively in favor of
the pavement, however, are not only
hopeful, but confident that the agita-
tion for the pavement will be carried
to a successful termination, and that
the opponents of the proposition viii
not secure a majority of signers TO
their remonstrance sufficient to defeat
the movement, as they did when it
was UP previously.
The petition for the pavement, pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen a few
weeks ago, bears thirty seven sigma
lures, headed by that of St. Stephens
Polish r. c church, which owns the
large tract at the corner of State
street and Buckingham avenue.
Those who are trying TO push 1t to
a triumphant issue urge, in their be-
lief in their ultimate success, that
they have more signers to their petit
tion than on former occasions, and
that the signers include not only seve-
raj who would not sign either for OF
against the pavement in previous
years. but also some who were former
ly opposed to the Improvement.
The leaders in the plan do not favor
brick pavement alternative. This
cry for brick is declared to be simply
d subterfuge to knock out the asphalt
proposition. ]
1t is claimed that brick would be
vastly more expensive than asphalt,
and that much additional expense
would be oecasioned by the tearing up
of the present macadam foundation.
which would serve as a base for an
asphalt pavement
Meanwhile both factions are doing
their best. or worst, and hoping; one
side hoping that the asphalt agitation

that they viii he able to give q

-Au action at law, peculiar iu many

growing. it is alleged, out of the
dredging Of Il quantity Of oysters from
Captain Sotield's oyster beds. by john
Woglom. who was supervising some
dredging work for his brother, Cap
tain Abraham r. Woglom.
Captain Soheld understood, when he
first learned Of the dredging done by
the WoglomS, that 4 quantity Of
oysters had been taken from his beds
which adjoin those Of Captain Wogom.
He and Captain Woglom went out to
the beds to investigate the matter
They were informed 10y some one to
whom it was referred, it is under
stood. that some oysters had been
dredged from Captain Sofeld's beds
by the men working under John Wog-
lOm on the boat a. c. Brown, which
went out to dredge oysters from Cap
tain Woglom's beds.
The two owners then tried to effect
a settlement. Captain Woglom is de-
clared to have offered Captain S0feld
800 in settlement, but, according to
the story, Captain Sofeld wanted $500.
Attempts were made to reach a
compromise and Captain Sofeld is
said to have agreed to accept 5000.
This was rejected.
Meanwhile a lawyer OF Staten Island
had learned of the ease, and Captain
Woglom was advised not to pay any of
the money asked.
1t is declared that Captain Wo9lom
did not definitely acknowledge that
his brother had taken oysters from
Captain SoieId's lots, and on that his
subsequent stand has been based. 1t
is asserted that there was certainly
no intention to take any of Captain
Sofeld's oysters.
Then, a short time later, Captain
Sotield brought charge, it is under

Woglom, charging him with taking
his oysters.
Captain Woglonts friends declare
that Captain Soield cannot positively
prove that the oysters were taken
from his beds, Captain Sofeid he

Lively Fight Is Now on for the Fire.
mems Election MuIIenand Mead,
Both Of Protection Co. Opposed.

It-is-now certain that hot fight
will take place at the election of new
officers for the local fire department
the first Tuesday in May, At the
meeting OF George B. Mcclellan En-
ginc Company, last night, Eugene
Mullen, of Protection Hook & Ladder
Company, was nominated for the posi-
lion OF second assistant chief. James
Glenn was nominated for chief and
Thomas Baker for first assistant.
The NEWS told some time ago how
at meeting of Protection Hook q
Ladder Company, George Mead had
been nominated for the position Of
second assistant chief
When Mr.. Mead's nomination was
made q number of the older members
Of Protection Hook Il Ladder Com
pany objected and they demanded that
Eugene Mullen be given the prefer
ence, but Mr.. Mead's' friends were
firm and now Protection Hook Il Lad
der Company has a battle among its
own members.
At the last meeting of Mcclellan
Engine Company letter was received
from the secretary OF Protection Hook
s. Ladder Company asking them to
confirm the nomination of George
Mead for second assistant chief. The
McCiellans would have done this only,
at the meeting. last night, eH-Fore-
man John Deveny and Eugene Mullen
were present and, it is said, they told
the McClellans that. the letter they
had received had not been authorized
by the company.
1t is said that the McCielans voted
on the question as to how they should
stand and when the vote was counted
the whole company agreed TO nominate
Mr.. Mullen.
- In conversation with q NEWS re-
porter, this morning, one of the men,
bers of Protection Hook & Ladder
Company, who is backing Mullen,

years ago, when a chief was elected,
he should have had the place of sec
ond assistant chief, but he was asked
to hold off and he did SO. He will
not only get half the vote Of Protec-
tion Hook s, Ladder Company, but all
of Mcclellan and Lincoln Engine com
panies and nearly all Of the Washing
ton and Eagles.
A friend of George Meat's said that
they were not worrying about the out
come, but that since Mcclellan Engine
Company had nominated Mullen in
stead of confirming the nomination of
Mead, they would suffer in the long
run.
Each side seems certain that they
will win, but the rumor that will not
down is that Eagle Hose Company
will have a man for second assistant
and it is understood that because Of
the trouble in Protection company he
may be elected.
Other fire companies are to hold
meetings soon and the result is being
watched with great interest by all fire
men.
