good or bad. and the light of the stars
was the glory of the great white
throne shining through the peepholes.

SOUTH Stunning ITS COTTON.

Planters and Merchants Begin De-
struction of Excess Supply.
Heroic measures have been decided
on by the farmers and merchants of the
Southern States to save the cotton mar
ket They viii burn 100000 bales of
the staple Each State in the cotton
growing belt is expected TO destroy its
share. Bonfres Of the chief agricultural
product OF Dixie soon will be lighted all
over the southern States.
This remarkable course was decided
on after the growers received word of
the slump in the New York market. The
falling Off in New York followed the
Washington report that 100000 more
bales had been ginned in the United
States in 1904 than in 1903. The 1908
total was S.T47 $50 bales and that for
this year SIS ll3.
The southern men felt there was only
one way to prevent further drop in
price, which would mean bankruptcy 10
many This was to relieve the market of
the oversupply caused by the large crop.
The cotton must be destroyed.
At Fort Gaines, Ga, over 5000 bales
were burned, and other towns report sim
liar ooutreS. There was much ceremony
observed in the burning Farmers came
into Fort Gaines from all over the conn
ty Ia join with the merchants. From the
plantations and from the local ware
houses the bales were rolled into the
court house square. and after the mer-
chants and farmers had marched around
il in procession the torch was applied. In
several othe towns similar scenes We're
enacted. 1t is estimated that more than
100000 worth of cotton was destroyed,
