THE FARMERS OF THE SOUTH

The condition of the farming
community in the South, taken as
whole, was never as full of hope
and full of achievement as it is
during these closing months of the
year 1905. The cotton crop has
been curtailed, in the first place
by the action of the farmers them
selves, and, in the second place,
by weather conditions.
The result has been better prices
Tor the crop and better prices for
that portion of the crop of 1904
which remained in the farmers
hands.
Low prices a year ago induced
the farmers to withhold a large
part of the crop from the market,
The curtailing of the acreage and
the unfavorable conditions early
in the season of 1905 advanced
the price and it has steadily ad
vanced until it is over 10 cents,
and 10-cent cotton means wide
spread prosperity throughout the
South.
But the South is no longer a
one-crop country. Diversified agri
culture has done its perfect work,
and all over the Southern States
there has been change of methods,
more careful cultivation of the
soil, wiser consideration of mar
kets in the production of crops
througout the year that bring
money to the farmer.
This kind ofagriculture improves
the soil year by year. 1t improves
the home on the farm year by year
1t multiplies all the comforts
of living, all Of the conveniences OF
life. And so the farmer is begin
ming to reap the reward for his
years of toll and self denial

THREW AWAY THEIR CHANCE

Sir Edward Seymour, the noted
British Admiral who is now in
this country, says in an interview
in the Washington Post:
The Russian populace is raising
a tremendous disturbance, but it
comes rather too late in the day.
Any rebellion the moujiks now en-
gage in will be put down with an
iron hand, no matter if it involves
the slaughter of thousands. Had
the moujiks been at all clever they
would have started their revolt
while their Government was in the
midst of the conflict with Japan.
They had chance then of gain
ing considerable measure OF
liberty, but they overlooked their
opportunity, and now the same
despotic authority which has borne
down on them with crushing
weight for generations will con-
tinue to enslave them. One bold
and decisive stroke while an out
side enemy threatened the very
existence of the Russian Govern
ment would have done more for
the cause of freedom than the OPP
pressed masses can hope to achieve
in the next fifty years.
It is reported that the Gar is
contemplating fight, but this is
probably untrue. He will probably
remain in the vicinity of the cellar

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
CeyIOn's Tradition About Adam and

islets which the maps show stretching
across from Ceylon to the coast of IN

her lot in the garden of Ceylon, but

CRATE One day while wandering on
the west coast he met a strange man.
who in the course Of conversation held
before him a fascinating panorama of
the lovely country across the waters
gardens and rich orchards, valleys
teeming with birds and gazeles and
all the rest. Atami had seen nothing
like it in Ceyion. He had always been
trying to coax Heba into emigration
without success, but now his mind was
made up, and he went home to the
shades of Adams peak and ordered
her peremptorily to pack up and make
'eady for start. Heba pleaded in
vain, but Atami was persistent and
led the way across adams bridge"
to India, where he found, to his dis
may, a dreary and forbiddng wilder
ness. The panorama man Git will be
readily guessed who he was) had de
ceived Atami, and the disappointed
wanderer fell into despair. Then 1t
was that the angel messenger came
and gave the disobedient Atami orders
to go on into the desert aud wild places
and suffer the punishment that was
his due. Atlantis nobility of spirit
showed itself here, for he begged the
angel to intercede that his own pun
tshment might be doubled and Heba
permitted to return to the garden of
Eden and be given a fresh mate and
fresh start, You viii be apt to think
that this chtvalric example of gallan-
try set by the heroic Atami has not
been generally emulated by his de

When the price of cotton went
off yesterday a quarter of a cent,
the holders of cotton shut right
down hard and fast and hardly a
bale changed hands during the
day. This kind of automatic action
based on confidence in the fU-
tl1re of the markets worth more
than all of the associations and
resolutions ia the battle with the

that cotton will yet be forced up

point it has not reached in years.
