FOURTEEN REASONS
whv You Should Hold Your Cotton
- For II Cents.

Because, it is worth II cents OF
morel
Recause it is bound to sell at much
higher figures!
Because, the man~who makes the
cotton should help to make the price!
Because, trade is broad and strong,
and record-breaking as to textiles!
Because, the mills are making mon
ey on basis, Of Ii cents and II cenes
for cotton!
Because, the world needs every bale,
and will take it greedily at II cents II
we hold, for this, figure!
Because, we are no longer slaves to
the north, but a free people, with our
banks full of money, and the mer-
chants and bankers ar our backs!
- Because, we live in record-break-
ing age, and the present cotton CROP
which has matured and opened u11-
usually, will be found to be very
short when the worldwide and un-
Drecedented demand for cotton goods
is considered!
Because, the farmer needs the mon
ev and deserves it more than the
speculator!
Because, money don't buy as much
now as formerly!
Because, everything the farmer buys
has gone up in price, why not cotton!
Because, the Southern Cotton asso-
ciation has fixed the price for good
cotton at II cents, and this assocla-
ton is fighting Our battle, and has put
millions of dollars in the pockets OF
s. southern people!
Because, we should be true to south
ern manhood and the southland!
Because, if we show the white
feather and sell, we will feel like KICK
ing ourselves out of sight, when cot
ton is selling at II cents to- IL IL
cents per pound.
Stand pat for II cents!

DEATH OF JERRY SIMPSON
End of Notable Career OF Vaneo
Activity-Had Been Ill for One
Year.

Wichita, Kansas, October 49,
Terry Simpson died at Cos o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Simpson was conscious
I'D to five minutes before death. Inc
end came without a struggle.
Mr.. Simpson was born in New
Brunswick, on March 81, 1o42. Al
"a he began life as sailor, and dur
ing e years he followed that pur-
suit commanding many large vessels
I'm rhe great lakes. In the Civil war
he served in the Twelfth Illinois IN
<1antrv. He came to Kansas in 1873.
<Originally he was a republican but
later became a Greenbacker and Pop-
ulist. He was member OF congress
from 1891 to 1896 and from 1897 to
1900, being nominated the last time
bv both democrats and popullsts At
ter he left congress he moved to Kos
well. N. H., where he engaged up TO
the time of his death in stock farm
ing. He returned to Kansas month
400 and entered hospital for treat
ment.
His condition became hopeless ten
davs ago and since then the patient
was kept alive principally by sheer
force of will His wife and son were
at his bedside at the time of his death.
Death was caused by aneurlsm OF
The aorta. Mr.. Simpson had been IN
i'll health for nearly a year. Dix
months ago he consulted a specialist
at Chicago, who pronounced his case
hopeless. Burial will take place at
Wichita. The Masonic order Will
have charge of the funeral.

A Note Of Warning.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. rs, Ioo5.-F arm
ers and merchants of the south are
warned against cotton buyers who are
now busy at many interior points try
inc to induce spot holders to sell their
cotton at marker prices and agreeing
to pay any additional advance that
NAV accrue within the next 90 or 90
davs. If you deliver up your cotton
on that basis and the buyers get
enough Of the staple in their hands to
fill their orders, there is but little
chance for the market to advance.
The way to force an advance quickly
is to refuse to part with the cotton
until satisfactory prices are offered.
No middling cotton should be sold at
interior points for less than eleven
cents per pound. The crop is short
and all who hold will be rewarded as
they should be.
Again, don't lend your cotton to To-
cal mills on the promise Of settlement
at any time within the next few
months. With the staple in the hands
of the spinners prices can never ad-
vance.
Again, notify warehousemen to
whom you ship your cotton for stor-
age that under no circumstances must
your cotton be loaned or sold to ex-
porters OF buyers on any sort Of trade
OF contract until you are-ready to sell
it. All kinds of tricks and devices are
being resorted to now by buyers and
spinners to induce farmers TO part
with their cotton. Every man who is
led into any of those trades is unwit-
tingly playing into the hands Of the
buyers and against his own interest
and that of his neighbors.
Hold your cotton like grim death.
Tie up the spot market and stand firm
for higher prices and the victory will
soon be yours and the continued pros
perity of the South assured.
Yours truly,
Harvie Jordan,
Pres. Southern Cotton Association.

He's running for an office,
He started long ago,
His pictures on the banners
And his pace is never slow;
His fingers are all twisted
By the handshake's constant clutch,
And his legs are getting wobbly
Cause he's had to ruin so much.
Successful or defeated
He's never satisfied,
To keep before the public
Is his one especial pride.
He's made a lor of speeches,
But there's nothing he has done.
He has no time for working
Cause he's always on the run.

attained high rank for his accomplish
ments. Lord Pauncefote Of Preston, the
British representative, was the first
diplomatist TO be elevated to ambassa-
do.ial rank Other ambassadorships
were created, and finally Romero, the
former dean, found himself set back
from one place in line to another, while
newcomers outranked him. His promo
ton was ordered, and his credentials
were on the way, when he died, and dc
Approx became the first arnba ssador
from Mexico He was received as such
March 90 1899, by President Mckinley, at
the White House.
One of the unforgotten incidents in the
ambassadors career was the contre-
temps in which he unwillingly figured at
a White House dinner to the Diplomatic
Corps. He was selected to escort to
dinner the wife of his Austrian col
league and, according to report, she de-
clined the proffered arm. There was
some confusion for the moment until a
Encouragement of partners had been
made and the incident became the talk
of the moment in all the courts of the
