There has been so many serious
and outrageous violations OF the
law as are being reported from
one end Of the country to the
other. The daily papers TEEN
with reports Of defalcations, rob-
berries, murders and numerous
other violations of the law and
the quiet element is seeking to
find the cause for all this and to
evolve some means by which it
may be checked. In our opinion
the one great cause is the high
tide upon which the business Of
the country is now floating.
Defalcations is the result of
speculation; robberies the result
of fast living an Unsuitable desire
to continue it; murder and suicide
the result of both. The inflated
condition Of business run men
wild, and every means, honor
able or dishonorable, is resorted
to get money while it is going.
Such a state of affairs is not best
for the country. A more even
tempered time brings a more
substantial prosperity and a hap
pier and more contented people.

have a day Of general rejoicing
for the great work accomplished.
The Declartion Of American
Independence from the yoke OF
foreign domination was signed on
July A, 1776. / think that a fitting
day for Southern cotton growers
assemble together and declare
their freedom and independence
from foreign combinations which
in the past have dictated the price
OF the great money staple crop
Of the South: / therefore issue
this call, earnestly asking that
the cotton growers all over the
South meet on Tuesday, July A,
1906, either in their local beats,
townships, militia district or at
their county seats, and have bar
becues or basket dinners speeches
and make the day one Of general
rejoicing. / trust also that strong
resolutions will be passed at these
meetings emphasizing loyaty and
patriotism to each other and
agreeing that no cotton shall be
sold during the balance of the
present year for less than 10
cents per POUND. | call upon the
business and professional men in
various towns Of the South to as
sist and take active part in these
meetings. It is the duty Of every
Southerner to assist the farmers
in this patriotic duty and to COM
mend them for the great victory
they have won. / ask that copies
Of all resolutions passed at these
meetings be mailed to the head
quarters of the Southern Cotton
Association for compilation and
publication. Such a meeting Of
the cotton growers and their de-
termination to demand better
prices for cotton would have a
tremendous effect on the spinners
of the world who have sold their
goods ahead and have yet to Sc
cure the raw cotton to fill their
contracts. Let every community
act and act with determination.

seed on the farm, but no place
is provided for protecting the
the cotton which is frequently
held. It is left out to be rained
on and be fed on by the cows
when it is marketed the next
spring the great wonder is that
any sale can be made Of it. The
cotton raiser can profit by mar
keting his cotton by piecemeals
and not glutting the market in
October, November and Decem-
Der, but he must keep his cotton
in marketable condition.

The sharp advance in the price
of cotton during the past ten days
is encouraging to the farmer who
carried over a part of his crop
rather than sacrifice it at the
low prices prevailing about De-
cember last year. Much of this
cotton is now being placed on the
market. Where it has been car
ed for the advance has well paid
for holding it; if it has, been left
out and exposed to the weather
the holder will be lucky if the
advance will cover the loss after
his cotton has been picked.
It is a matter of great surpr ise
surprise that SO little care is taken
Of cotton. Ample provision is
made + y corn and hay and cotton

Atlanta, Ga, June.
President Harvie Jordan, of
the Southern Cotton Association,
has decided that the farmers in
all Of the cotton-groWing counties
should meet in their respective
communities on July 4, have
barbecues, speaking and make
the day one Of general rejoicing
this year on account of the
splendid work accomplished by
the farmers in reducing the cot
ton acreage for 1905.
President Jordan S call follows:
"Ofice Southern Cotton
Association,
Atlanta, Ga, June 9, 1905.
To Southern Cotton Growers:
Every report issued on the
cotton acreage of 1905, including
the United State Government re-
port Of June 2, indicates beyond
all question of doubt that the
cotton acreage for this year has
been materially reduced by the
farmers, thereby making another
abnormally large crop with ex-
tremely low prices an impossible
ty. Southern cotton growers are
to be highly commended for thus
standing SO Loyalty by their
pledges and promises, which will
save the South from financial
ruin and disaster. The farmers
also held their cotton from the
markets during a most depressing
period in January and FEBRUARY,
thereby emphasizing their ability
to protect their interests from
the devasting influence Of spec
ulation. The cotton holding move
ment has saved the South $5O, 900,
900 in the value of the cotton un-
sold on Jan. .26 and the reduction

June IL, lSU5.
Dear Journal:
We are in Birmingham this
morning. It is a beautiful city
located in a pleasant valley sur
rounded by a line of blue hills or
mountains which encircle it on
every hand. Look where you may
you see evidences of thrift and
enterprise. In the busy marts of
trade the people flowing in and
out like bees from the hive, every
where you hear the sound of the
saw and hammer, and houses
spring up almost like magic, as it
were in a day. The hum of
machinery is heard on every hand
and the dense clouds of dark
smoke all testify to the industry
and activity of these people. Yes
terday Mr.. Cross, the superin-
tendent of the mines of the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Co., with his family carried us
down to their Iron mines six or
eight miles south of the city and
showed us through them. It is a
wonder to those who never saw
such things before. Tall smoke
stacks, huge furnaces, fine ma
chinery of every kind necessary
to the production Of iron are run
by them, as we'll as all shops that
prepare lumber and iron supplies
for their use are in operation.
The company own and operate a
very extensive iron mine here.
great cavernous rooms under the
ground for two thousand feet
in any. direction tell of the i'm
mensity of their business. Cars.
ladened with iron ore and drawn
up by fine and powerful machin-
cry from this great depth, are SO
constructed that they. act auto
matically and come up out of
these caves and tumble their
contents into grinding mills that
converts it into powder, with as
much ease as a woman grinds her
coffee in her mill. From thence
it is put in cars and carried to
furnaces, that melt into liquid
state and make it into pig iron
and into steel bars that constitute
our rail road iron. 1t is wonder
full how these miners work so long
under the earth, Twas told that
there were men here who had
worked under the earth here for
thirty or forty years. 1t looks
hideous at times to see these men
as they emerge from their sub
teraneum homes, and come out
into light, they look like denizens
of the lower region, begrimed
with iron dust, red with clay and
with small burning lamps hung
on their hats. You must look
close to tell wether they are white
or black. | have heard and read
Of speculations as to how long
the iron and coal mines would last
and continue to furnish iron and
fuel for the world, and have felt
that we might sometime in the fu-
ture be left without any, that
the supply would be exhausted,
but | do not now believe it. I be-
lieve that the Maker of this world
has in His great. wisdom, and
foresight, manufactured and rol
ledsup and put on the shelves
under the earth, ample supplies
of them to last as long as the
inhabitants Of earth will need it
and will point out to man where
it is hid. When all known; places
fail, other unknown regions
more and richer resources Of it.
You may rest assured we are
enjoying our trip and don't know
when we will come home. Wife
is better and sends love to you.

rapidly and now shows up well.

in the bottoms, to get the corn
planted is. beginning to make a
