County Commisslonsr-Blsct Points Out
Benefits Of Such Law.
THINKS THERE is SOME HOPE FOR

viii Honestly work
for IL.

The railroads are beating every town
in the state out of taxes to which they
are entitled, and this condition of affairs
win be changed only when men are elected
to the legislature who understand the
subject and who will get upon the floor
and ask for what they want
Thus did County 'ommissoner-elect w.
c. IRE. who. as a member OF the Real Es-
tate exchange assisted and fought for the
equitable taxation of railroads before the
State Board of Equalization in 1904 and
who helped to create a sentiment before
the legislature of 1903 for higher taxa
ton of railroad property in cities and
towns
THE fight for the taxation of railroad
property for city purposes will continue
and some day the members from out In
the state Will see that II is to their inter-
est that the terminals be taxed locally.
Even the little town or Papillion would
benefit by a change in the method OF as
sessing the roads. That town has half
mile of track with a right-of-way of 400
feet. The right-of-way should be limited
to 100 feet. and that is plenty large. That
would leave 800 feet to be taxed locally.

Sully I'm the Game.
GA private letter to me from
Daniel j. Sully indicates that he, too,
will now take a hand in the fight,
and that if the farmers will with
hold their cotton, and are willing to
risk it and send a contribution to
him, he will make an attempt to aid
in raising the price to that fixed by
the Southern Cotton Association.
His advertisement will appear in all
the papers tomorrow. Let every one
interested in this fight read it, con-
slider it, and act according to his own
best judgment in the premises.
'Let every man in the State use
his every endeavor to withhold his
cotton from the market. It cannot be
possible that on the eve of the short
crop and with the magnificent fight
that we have just won-fresh in the
memory of all-that we will allow
the weak to suffer his cotton put on
the market without coming to his res
cue; for higher prices are inevitable
within the near future. This is the
same old trick that the spectators
have always used to rob the weak,
knowing that this is the time for the
payment of his debts, meeting notes
and obligations.

unfortunately situated all the aid
they can so that they may, with US,

nHo1D YOUR COTTON" SAYS MR..
E. D. SMITH.

Needed-Farmers ADVISED TO store
their Cotton Now.
Mr. Z. D. Smith, of South Caro-
lima State President of the Southern
Cotton Association, gave out an in
terview last week in which he said:
i am Just back from trip in the
eastern section of the State and /
find that all of the cotton is practi-
scoIIv open and in some sections gath
cred. The out turn is far below what
was anticipated before picking be-
oan. There is no top crop at all, and
the entire picking with the force of
hands now available, will, according
TO the statement of the best posted
farmers. be completed entirely by the
18th of October.
"The out turn of the lint from the
seed is shorter than it has been in
years.
Il wish to call attention to the
farmers of this State to the govern
ment report issued this week, in
which it is said that there was a
deterioration on sandy lands, but that
the clay lands were green and grow
ing. This will give some idea of the
misleading statements that are sent
in officially and unofficia1ly to the
trade, and which help to depress the
market temporarily.
Il have travelled over the entire
Piedmont section with the exception
of some few patches too small to be
worthy of note. There is a univer-
sally arrested development. The
squares have been shed, the leaves
are yellow. and the condition of the
cotton generally is no better than
that in the lower section of the
sandy lands.
Reports are coming in that the
farmers are selling their cotton re-
gardless of the price. which is also
untrue. l am in position to give
better estimate of the South Caro-
lima crop, ] rresume, than any other
one man. / hope that / am honest
enough and fair minded enough and
truthful enough not to attempt to de-
ceive myself or those who have placed
confidence in me, or trade at large;
and | unhesitatingly say that from
the present indications, this is the
smallest crop that has been made
on the same acreage in four or five
years. The final out turn will prove
what say.
Stanc Together.
"To the farmers in general, and to
the members of the Southern Cotton
Association in particular, / wish to
say that this is the time both for
the success of the Association and
Tor the financial benefit that will ac
crue for them to hold their cotton.
Let every merchant and banker and
every farmer lend his aid one to the
9!her for the purpose of Withholding
MS cotton from the market.
- L have just read a telegram from
Northern Texas in which a promi-
1ent New York spot dealer says that
last Ia night his agent in Texas and the
territories was able to buy one hun
gred bales only, against $500 same
date last year.

"No man becomes great" said
Gladstone, .'except through many
and great mistakes" All history, all
progress, all success is q record Of
triumph over blunder. In business,
in political or social life, a perfect
man has never been found, and never
will be. Every man must work out
his own salvation in all the activities
OF life. He may protit---if he is wise,
be will prodt--by the experience OF
others; but II his career is to be q
success, 1t must be built up upon
many and great mistakes, Expert
ence is the greatest teacher, because
1t shows US not so much how to do
things as how not to do them. Every
mistake is stepping stone for some
thing oetter, something higher. This
fact is a keynote for great difference
In men. The man who is afraid OF
making mistake will probably never
accomplish ANYTHING worthy or OF a
permanent character. But mistakes
and failures cannot daunt the man
who Is in earnest. There are com
paratively few successes because the
average mau fails to view his mis-.
takes 10 the right light. The great
est power on earth is will, and one OF
the most important problems that
confronts man is to adjust correctly
the relations between the will and
the natural tendency to blunder.
Every mistake, to the right-minded
man, is an education. The education
OF man is never completed, because,
however great, however thoughtfui,
however consideratc, however kind,
however well ,ntentio a man may
be, every man continues to make

Wheat Estimate.

The consensus Of opinion of grain
men seems to be that the 1905 wheat
crop of the Inland Empire will be
the largest ever harvested. due both
to the increased acreage and to an In.
creased yield. 8. S. King, deputy
grain Inspector, estimates the crop
for Washington at between 33,O00,.
900 and 35,o0O,000 bushels. The
West Coast Trade, Tacoma, always
very conservative, estimates the crop
for Washington at %, 900, 900 bushels.
with Oregon and Idaho contributing
enough more TO bring the total up 10
SO, 100000 bushels. We may safely
say that the crop total for the three
Pacific northwest states will exceed
so, 100000 bushels, which estimates
will show considerable increase over
last year.--New West Trade.
