1t is indeed a new south when a
Aan in Mr.. Jordan's position has Che
acumen and courage to speak in this
sense at this juneture. Years ago such
an utterance would have been ac-
ctslhte0 rank treason. but time
changes. and men change with il. It
must be some consolation to Mr..
Brown to know that he is nCf alono
in counciling caution. and that a
man peculiarly identified with the
producers also has eyes for the dan
ger signals. The trade is now turn
ing its thoughts toward the govern
ments August report. July is an eX-
Ceedingly critical month"; as one may
easily see by a glance at the record.
In 1904 there was an Improvement of
&c points and even during the dis
astrous summer of 1903 the condi-
ticn was better by 2.G points on the
first Of August than il had been on
the first of July. On the other hand.
declines have been very numerous
aud in some cases they have been
startling. For example, the crop Of
1896 fell from condition of 92.5 at
the end of June to SOL al tho end of
July With the reduced acreage and
tthe poor start of this crop it is all inn
portant that the status should imprGVe
e at least hold it's own. for, no mat
ter what fanatics may say, the south
is not ultimately benefited by
under production. The true
interests in iths section lie
in making enough cotton to feed the
worlds spindles and Mr.. Jordan is
entirely right when he says that alb
rcrmallv high prices are no less preJu-
dicial ta the general welfare than alb
normally low ones. But the case is
in natures hands. and no amount OF
theorism Ct mans part will alter the
eut-turn Of it.-Times Democrat.
