The late Secretary John Sherman
showed his talent for financiering at
an early age. He and two Of his
brothers had been given sum Of
money with which to pay their board
while on a shooting trip for week at
the house of a farmer near Lancaster,
o.. their home.
The week ended, John ordered the
wagon and paid his board. But the
farmer refused the money, saying that
the sons of Judge Sherman would al
ways be welcome guests. When John
found that he did not have to pay his
board he sent the wagon back to the
barn and stayed another week.-Lip-

1t was gratifying to me to realize

minds as to the friendship of the
Lonkers. warehousemen, manufac-
tTrers. insurance men and all we'll

Nessrs. Aver proceed to inject their
poisonous information into the
minds of the very farmers whom they

selves and infer how they are going

Their estimate of the negro farm

lions of them out of eight millions,

them. sounds ridiculous to people
who know better.

Then why do they present it at allg
Such calumnies need the resentment
of every Southerner.
IF the firmness and determination
of the people of the South who are
so vitally interested In the cotton
situation is persistently adhered to,
in selling and Platning, the world
will soon see that cotton ON paper
will not turn a wheel. Some specu-
lators will yet be convinced against
their wills and against their inter
ests. The mills may grind slowly,
but they are going to grind. The
