There is no use in clicking
against the pricks"-organiza-
ton and the reduction Of the cot
ton acreage are what the planter
needs. The minority Of the "pet
schemes proposed for control
ling Of the cotton market mean
nothing more nor less than the
planting" of a lot of curb. stone
politicians in tat jobs pretending
to look after the farmers bust
ness. The man who sits on a
dry goods box in front of the
cross roads store, and whites,
can always tell you what you
ought to do. lie is a deep think
er--the grey matter OF his brain
is constantly at work solving the
great problem Of how to live
without work. Yon and your
neighbors are supporting him.
Stop it-think for yourself ; take
a good newspaper, and read it.
Post yourself on the conditions
of the markets at home and
abroad, consult with your fellow
planters and the way will be as
an open book that "ne who runs
may read"

DeWitt's Little Early Risers,
the famous little pills, have been
made famous by their certain yet
harmless and gentle action upon
the bowels and liver. They have
no equal for b~iliousness, consti-
patton, etc. They do not weaken
the stomach, grippe, or make you
teel sick. Once used, always pre-
ferred. They strengthen. Sold

Reduce the Acreage.

Keduce the acreage.
Daniel j. Sully, the great bull
leader of the New York Cotton
Exchange, has written the fol-
lowing letter to cotton raisers:
To the Cotton Growers Of the
South:
II you wish to win your battle
and obtain a fair price Tor your
cotton you must reduce your &C
reage very considerably.
You have surprised the world
by the manner in which You have
held your cotton.
Surprise it again by cutting
down your cotton acreage.
Donot be led sstray by the pres
ent steadiness of prices.
Three causes have contributed
to bring about this rise OF more
than q cent a pound
First: The urgent demand arts
ing from an unprecedented con-
sumption.
Second: Your courage and wis
dom in making the buyer meet
your terms.
Third The belief that you
would cut your acreage to suchan
extent that the supplies from this
crop and the growth of 1865
would make a commercial crop
no larger than the world needs.
The first two causes lose their
force the moment it is known
that there is a prospect for a
moderately large crop next year.
Even If the mills take 12,000,-
900 bales during the current sea
sou, this would leave a carry-over
of 1900, 600 bales. Hence the
necessity of a smaller crop this
year.
Do not let any rise in prices be-
tween now and the planting sea-
son deter you from reducing your
acriage.
Such an advance would be mer
ely anticipating that you were
making the decrease which your
friends have advised you to make.
II the June report OF the Gov
ermen shows that you have failed
to make sufficient reduction the
only persons who would be gain
ers by the advance would be the
spectators who sell ont their fu-
lures at a profit.
The price of the cotton you
produce will be regulated by the
actual not the expected reduction.
In this matter OF acreage re
duction bear in mind three sug-
gestions:
Don't depend on your neighbor
to DO the reducing.
Don't rely on bad weather to
cut down the size of the crop.
Don't put a large acreage into
cotton simply because it is too
late to plant corn or other diver
sifed crops.
II would be far better to let
part Of your land lie idle than to
run the risk of raising a crop SO
large as to make possible another
period of low-price6 cotton.
lam making this appeal to you
because / regard the next few
weeks as critical to the South and
because 1 believe that every man
who is interested in the welfare
OF the South should urge the i'm
portance OF a reduced acreage.

President of the Southern Cotton
Corporation.

Herbine, taken every morning

off disease. 1t cures constipation,

The cotton planter should read
more. In addition to a county
paper (which every man who has
the welfare OF his section at heart
takes) he should subscribe for
some one Of the large metropoli-

not afford a daily, and keep up
with the crop situation at home
and abroad. He can then do bis
own figuring.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
HalPs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
