In Memoriam

j. C. Conlee, the subject of this
sketch, was born Aug. 2Sth. 1879, and
came to his untimely death, Jan.
18th, 1905, by the accidental discharge
of a double-barrel shotgun. Deceased
was the son of J. A. and Bette Conlee;
he leaves a father, mother, four broth
ers, three sisters and a young wife to
mourn his death. He joined the Meth
odist church two or three years ago,
and had lived a consistent christian
life since. He was loyal to his church
and to his fellowman; he was an obedi-
ent and dutiful son, a kind brother and
loving and faithful husband.
He was loved and respected by all
who knew him.
He lived about three hours after
1hooting himself, and expressed not
only a willingness but a readiness to
die. He told those in attendance to
''let him die and go to heaven"
What a blessed thought to know that
our loved ones are waiting and watch
ing for us on the other shore.
To those who are so sadly bereft we
can only say weep not as those who
have no hope Strive to live as he
has lived, and some time in the future
you can go to him.
"Let us be patient! these severe afflic-
tons.
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial beneliction
Assumes this dark disguise"

Cotton Acreage Reduction.

The recent convention at New Orlear
undoubtedly has given al impetus to The
reduction movement, but a number { !
interfering possibilities r pointed cut.
1t is suggested that if the price OF oot-
ton remains at z or cents at liant g
time there ill be a decrease in a .reape,
b 1t that at an advance to 10 cents or
higher will mean no decrease, if, ineeed,
there be not an increase, for, as one
writer safely notes, many a farmer is
like the mercury in a thermometer, and
goes up and down with the price of
cotton. While in some quarters the
large farmers have come to the conclu-
sion hat their only salvation lies in re-
duction, in others the men who sold
early and at good price, not infrequent-
ly the renters and small farmers, will
naturally not decrease to the extent of
those with cotton still on hand. 1t is
thought, too, that it will be difficult to
secure concerted action, as many a man
may argue that as his ueighbors are
going to reduce he will pitch a larger
crop aud gain just so much more advan-
tage in high prices. But the spirit
dominant, especially in Georgia, is such
that there is a~lreacy talk of employing
practical men in each militia district to
inspect the planting and report anyone
failing to carry out reduction agreement.
Whatever reduction takes place will be
due to the organized movement in part,
to mutual agreement on an indepedent
basis, and especially to the hard fact of
low prices, a most effective argument
upon the mind of men who are described
as seeing that they are placed "at the
mercy and behest of trained unscrupu-
|ous manipulators who SOW not, neither
10 they spin, yet reap a bounteous
harvest alike in season of drought and
n season of rain. southern Farm

How the fire started is not positively
known. A quantity of waste cotton was
stored in the oil room. which is near

have iynited this waste. Tho theory that

reached the oil in the oil room is not

advanced by some of the hands that tn,
