HOLDING COTTON.
Good Reasons Advanced for the Or
sanization Of Farmers.

Nh. Editor: Just as was coming
away from the city, met the Hon.
E. D. Smith returning from Shreve-
port, where he had beer in attendance
upon the Cotton Growers Protective
Association; running over with
enthusiasm for the cause. He promis-
ed me that he would write the matter
up for. the papers, which we trust he
will do exhaustively at an early day.
But our farmers need to organize.
Already there are prophets abroad tell
ing US of failure in such organization.
that politics will ruin it, that it will
be the means of feathering someone's
nest, etc., etc. They point to the alli-
ance as an example. But was it
altogether a failure? / suppose that
bagging trust thinks not. Our famers
are in better condition for organiza-
tion than ever before, are more in
dependent, we hope more intelligent.
Just at this time we need. few
earnest active leaders to move the
people to act aGd to act in concert.
It is declared tnat many Of our peo-
pie are being frightened by the present
low prices, and through fear that cot
ton may go lower are rushing it on the
market.
AS 1 said in recent article our
farmers are masters Of the situation ii
they will only determine that they
will hold till next fall before they
will sell at present prices. Some OF
them are not aware that they can store
the cotton and draw money on it. 4
little investigation has revealed that
many of our colored farmers have
lot Of cotton on hand, and some OF
them are selling; not knowing Of the
disposition above referred to that can
be made of it. I do wish that the
warehouse men would approach every
fellow with bale of cotton about the
matter. I am sure it would be cf pro-
fit to them as well as the farmer.
A fool knows there is strength in
union; if only wise men enjoy it ths
farming class are sadly lacking in that
kind. It's plain to any discerning
mind that little concert OF action
lust now will accomplish much. Our
farmers always reminded me more Of
a lot of frightened sheep than any
thing else. Let them become pan1cky
and one old bell weather without a
thimblefull of brains can lead.the rest
to their ruin. Is this to be the case
forever? / do hope that others, who
have given more time and thou&it to
the matter, will express themselves.

CHRISTMAS AT WEDGEFIELD.
College Bays and. Girls at Home and
Many Visitors in Town.

Wedgefeld, Dec. 29.-Xmas with
it's Measure has come and left us, and
we are thankful there were no accidents
in our midst.
The drop in the price of the feecy
staple cast somewhat of a gloom over
our farming friends, but we hope some
plan can be agreed on and be universal
that will force the price of cotton
higher.
Most of our forks, though, sold most
of their cotton and with barn full
of corn and few razor backs to kill
they can move along anyway.

In Memoriam.

Arcadia College shares the grief
of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. Weinsberg, in
the death of their beloved daugh-
ter, for Leola was held in loving
memory. Having entered the col
lege as a wee one, she grew in the
affection of all and was graduated
in June 1899.
Full of life and the bright gaiety
of youth, she possessed the charm
ing grace and childlike piety of a
true Child of Mary, and she will
ever be remembered at the shrine
of that dear Mother.
Her class motto, "Semper FL
delis," was faithfully verified in
her, for as her strength failed, hel
yearning increased to return to hel
Alma Mater. She spent the month
of October in the beautiful vale Of
Arcadia, but the insidious disease
had taken too firm a hold of that
frail body to be benefited by any
change of climate. While the all
was vibrant with Christmas joy.
there was a minor intthe carol fol
the afflicted family. Leola was
taken to Florida as the only chance
of prolonging her dear life. God
willed it otherwise, however, and
on January Is, 1905, fortified by
all the rites of Holy Mother Church,
she was called, let us hope, to
eternal rest and peace.
Lovingly are the Arcadia Col
lege pupils remembered, and deep
interest is taken in their welfare,
but never is the devotion shown
more tenderly, and let us hope.
more eficaciously, than when the
Angel of Death takes them by the
hand. A solemn Requiem Mass
was celebrated by the chaplain,
the Rev. L. G. Wernert, on We'd
nesday, January 1S, 1905, during
which the Nuns and pupils received
Holy Communion for the repose
of the soul of the dear departed.
Earnest prayers are petitioned
for the precious soul, called Sc
soon from life, and sincere sympa-
thy is extended to the bereaved
parents, brother and sisters from
all the inmates of the Arcadia Col
lege.
