We have no advice to give farmers in ref
ence to holding cotto". They know their
circumstances and conditions better than
we do, or. for that matter, anybody else
does. They have made farming the study
of their ife-a business out of which they
have made or expect living for themselves
and the souls whom God has given to beau
tify and adorn their homes, and to g We
good cheer and happiness 10 them as they
toll and struggle amid the changing seasons
of the year, therefore, it is logical conclu-
sion to presume that their judgment is a
better and safer guide to follow TIM is all
the gratuious advice of self interested
spectators who never ran furrow nor
saw ak of cotton grow. Some think
that they can get higher prices for thier
cotton by holding it and they are doing so.
There are others whose judgment tells them
to sell and they are marketing their crop
as fastas they possibly cau. And so it
goes. The farmers are in about the same
position as the man was when he was be-
tween the devil and the sea, in that they
have the Bulls in front and the Bears be.

King Cotton.

Cotton is holding it's own in South
Carolina. The market has been play.
ing around nine and a half and ten
cents but few farmers indeed have
yielded to the temptation and sold
their crop. Recent reports gathered
by The State indicate clearly the in
clination Of the farmers Of the state
as we'll as all over the south to hold
cotton until it reaches the price de-
sired and required by the Southern
Cotton Association.
Tbe fact has been brought out by
these reports that the crop Of this
year has mstured ea,l7 and that q
large proportion cf il has been gath
cred at this time, much more than is
usual before mid October.
The reports are long and full, but
after a careful perusal of them will
come the deliberate conclusion that
eleven cent cotton is on the way and
that the people will hold till the last
minute. The people of the south
have natural monopoly and they
are going 10 show the world that The
people can combine and fight and
win. Over the snow of southern
summers, as cotton was called by q
famous South Carolinian, there soon
will break the brighter dawn of pros
perity for the whole people.

BILLS To MAKE CHANGES
IN PUsrIG LAND LAWS

Washington. Dec. AT least two bills
providing for important changes in the
land laws will be introduced at the np-
preaching session OF congress. one will
provide for the repeal OF the timber and
stone act and the other will make IL pos
fible for purely agricultural land I'm for
est reserves TO be acquired by settlers un-
der the homestead law. Representative
Lacey. chairman OF the house COMMITTEES
on public lands will introduce both OF
these measures i'm the House.
Secretary Hitchcock favors the repeal OF
the desert land law but as yet It is not
known that any bill. providing for the re-
peal OF this law Is In preparation. Opin-
ion Is divided among the members Of con
gress as TO the advisability OF striking
this law of the statute books.
Mr.. Lacey says II Ia true there have
been many frauds under the desert land
act. but that they occurred almost entire
~ before its amendment in 1891. The mon
ey realized from the sale OF land under
the timber and stone act goes into the ir-
rigation fund. Consequently many radical
friends OF irrigation oppose the repeal of
the act because OF the curtailment OF irri-
CATION funds which would result
Money realized from the sale OF land
under the desert land act also goes into
the Irrigation fund. and consequently an
attempt TO repeal II would also be op-
posed by many supporters OF the govern
ment irrigation projects

traction companies was made by Anton
Johansen, president OF the Woodworkers
district council at meeting held yester-
day OF the Chicago Federation Of Labor.
Speakers piled the lash without mercy
on so-called corporation" aldermen who
are accused OF betraying the people In
the municipal ownerships question and
urged that public demonstration be held

OF any franchises.
Resolutions were adopted dcnouncing
