again. A two-horse farm managed that will make
twice as much clear money as if all should
be planted in cotton. Col. l. D. Moore
large land owner and prominent farmer OF tins
county saws the four-year rotation is best. He
would take 60 acres as two-horse farm. lie
would SOW or plant alone on Is acres; small
grain with peas to follow on Is acres; corn with
reas ON Is acres; cotton on 10 acres. by that
method the cotton would be the surplus or money
cron and Is bales with no liens or claims on It, is
worth much more than As bales covered with
liens store accounts and other expenses. We can
assure the farmers that 2O-cent cotton will not
help them much unless they get better homes PEI
ter farm implements, and improve their lands
They should not work for high priced cotton
alone 1t is far better to work SO as to have high
priced land, high-priced and comfortable homes

Ii the fight must come it will be forced by the
spinners and will be met by determined and efec-
tive opposition ON the part of the producers. The
crop of 1905 must not be sacrificed Let every
man measure up to the highest standard of
Southern manhood and do his full duty The
mills have got to have our cotton, and If they
stop selling and see whose corn crib and smoke
house will last the longest. On the eve of the
crisis which threatens the South the Southern
press is earnestly called upon to publish this arti
Gle and comment upon the same editorialy. The
farmers all over the South rapidly organizing
and the Association has no fear of the final out
come in the struggle which lies just ahead.
Very respectfully.

Some Advantages.
Here in Spartanburg one advantage was illus
trated this week. A certain family put tne!r COT

lot and did not go around begging buyers " ~ uiu'

and selling at 10 cents; or occasionally some one

President Harvie Jordan Urges Farmers to STAND
Firm-Asheville Meeting September 9th VIII FIX a
Minimum Price.

Minimum Price.
4 recent meeting of the International Cotton
Spimers held at London, England on August lst,
indicates very clearly that the producers are to be
bitterly fought by the spinners during the next
three months At the meeting above referred to
foreign spinners were advised to buy more cot
ton for 80 DAYS except in such cases where the
raw material was absolutely needed lhe EFFORT
will be made to depress the cotton market here
by reducing the demand for the raw material DIS
far as possible in order to break down the present
movement of the farmers to demand ta1r Erlces
for their staple The present plan OF the foreign
spinners, it now appears, Is to crush the 0ohIh
ern Cotton Association and its efforts at the open
ing of the fall season and force the farmers TO
sacrifice their cotton on depressed Market
brought about by combination and concert of ac-
ton among the spinners and bear SPECTATORS
Every Imaginable device known to human lnge-
nuity will be brought to bear to depress prices dur
ing the next four months.
Association to Fix Price,
The Southern Cotton Association will meet at
Asheville n. c., September 9Th, and at that tnne
will fix a minimum price on the present crop Whlcn
will be fair and Just to both the producers and
spinners based uron a carefully prepared report
up to August 25th and the estimated percentage
of yield as compared with 1904. When this mini
mum price for spot cotton is fixed by the repre-
sentatives of the different States on September
9TH at Asheville, every producer OF cotton III the
South will be called upon to stand by the action
of the Association and force the consuming Worlo
to pay a fair price for the staple. There will be
no surplus of raw cotton from the crop OF l9of
What is left over unconsumed on September Isl
will be only a small reserve stock. The mills are
now consuming 100000 bales per week, and the
demand for cotton goods is enormous at mgf
prices. The farmers are in good financial shart
to protect their staple and If money is neede(
Southern bankers are amply able and quite Wlllns
to finance the situation.
Must Firm.
The producers have Just won a notable victor,
IN the face of the largest crop ever produced Il
this country and by concert of action force

The storm center Of mining interest
/ in the United States is the Nevada
/ desert. This may be designated gen
/ orally as that part of Eastern Nevada
| lying south of the thirty-ninth parallel.
The desert, however, continues south
ward into California TO the Mexican
border without any material change in
| topography or character, and the ore
veins and deposits are not confined to
Nevada.
The central point Of interest has
moved in couple of years south from
Tcnopah, 81 miles to Goldfeld, and
again farther south, 70 miles to
Bullfrog, where 1t is at the present
time. 1t is not likely to remain there
many months, as there are other por-
tions Of the desert where rich mines
may be found, and in their turn be-
come the center Of attraction.
Bullfrog is located in Nye County,
Nevada. in that blank space on most
maps which is marked "Amargosa Des-
ert." 1t lies on the eastern side of the
| Grapevine Range, which forms a part
/ of the eastern boundary of Death Val
1 ley, the horror region about which ro-
nance has woven many tales of lost
mines and truth has told many a ter
| rible story of human suffering, insan-
/ ity and death.
/ To the great majority Of men the
desert Is supposed to be g. wholly un-
/ known region. To the geologist it is
not SO. Powell, Gilbert, Marvin, Rowe,
! Weeks, Hague, Emmons and Spur Of
! the United States Geological Survey
have written about various parts of it
till 1t is no longer a mystery land
! though 1t is far from having been stud
/ led In detail. From these writer's the
leading geological features can be
learned. From another crop of pro-
4 fessors, now abundant on the desert,
who can name an eruptive rock after
| one glance, or tell that certain char
acter of ore proves the permanency of
an ore deposit, one can learn some
other things. though 1t Is questionable
whether the knowledge is not subject
to the Josh Billings criticism, ct is bet
ter not to know SO many things than
to know so many things that amt so.'
The desert to the eye is a boundIess
land OF sunlit gray. When the spring
rains come, giving breath of life to
the dead-looking. endless sea of sage
brush, the color changes to q greenish
gray; but the summer sun soon takes
away the emerald hue. Here and there

yellow or brown rocks, or dark shad-
owS, like a bright-colored hat in a
Quaker congregation, breaking the mo-
notony Of drab and gray. Go UP into
one of the hills surrounding Tonopah
and one sees the desert 1t is the same
topography for 300 miles east and
1000 miles south. In the clear air
distance is abolished. Barren hills and
plains are everywhere. There are no
patches OF woods nor shining ponds
nor snowcapped mountains. To the
south, only little distance, Is a pecu-
liar patch of gray set down among the
low hills. 1t is the myriad of white
tents that make up most Of the town
of Goldfeld. A little to the left is a
sharp-pointed peak, a sentinel watch
ing hundred miles of waste 1t is
Cactus Peak, at whose base an embryo
mining town is putting on airs. A lit
tie farther to the left is the Kawich
