Why the Bears Fought.

G. NJ. Russell, the western painter,
tells an amusing story of a bear fight
which he thinks is funnier than any
humorous sketch he has ever seen por-
trayed on a vaudeville stage. He had
been out with a guide all day, and
toward evening they saw, far down
the road, two bears sauntering along,
quite oblivious of the presence of hui
man beings, as the wind was in the
wrong direction. Russell and his
guide quickly jumped behind a small
thicket, and when the bears were
within shooting distance, the painter
let fly and struck one of them fair in
the side. The shot stunned the ami
NAL for a moment, and he was under
the impression that his mate had
struck him a terrific blow when he
was not looking. AS there appeared
to be no reason for this chastisement,
he proceeded to retaliate by attacking
the other bear. About this time the
guide took a shot at the assaulted
animal, with the result that the brute
was Infatuated and imagined he had
been struck with undue force by his
comrade. Upon this the two bears
set to and had a terrific ight.-Success

On the 7th instant it was announced
that Mr.. Theodore FL. Price. the great
cotton ''bull' of New York, had wired
his lieutenants in New Orleans that he
had organized a pool to sell cotton
down to n below nine cents. for last
week, and possibly lower this week.
The announcement did not come as q
surprise to those who were acquainted
with Mr.. Price. For years it he's been
his purpose to run the market down at
every opportunity. Many will remem-
Der the large space he used last winter,
showing pictures in all the big news
papers of cotton fields u%npicked, try
ing to hammer the price down, in which
he was signally successful.
But while Mr.. Price has been prac-
tically saying for years what the farmer
should take for his crop, another COM
binatiOn has entered the field and will
in the future contest and with the proper
management, defeat his efforts. The
Southern Cotton Association, formed
by the producers of the staple, has
been organized for the purpose of COM
batting just such influences as are rep
resented by Mr.. Price. Within a few
minutes after the receipt of the news
in New Orleans of what was intended,
kilograms began pouring in to PreSi-
dent Clark of the Mississippi branch of
the Association, urging him as the head
of the strongest branch of the organiZa-
ton, to issue an address to the people
warning them of the danger and to
suggest a counter move on the part OF
the Association. Within a short time
the following was flashed overthe wires
to the leading Southern newspapers
that are in sympathy with the move
ment:
Clarksdale, Miss, Aug. 7, 1905.
To the Farmers of Mississippi:
1t is reported this morning that Mr..
Theodore H. Price has organized a
bear pool to sell cotton below nine cents.
He may be able to do this, but | doubt
it very much. If he does, he will meet
his own Waterloo. Do not let the price
of futures worry you a minute. Simply
freeze to your cotton. | do not think 1t
possible to make 10000, 900 bales this
year, and [ look for much higher prices.
Remember that you have, by refusing
to sell, advanced the price from 64 to
10 cents, and this in the face of an i'm
mense crop. What can you do with a
short crop? The price of cotton this
season is in your hands entirely. Do
not be disturbed by the threats of the
spinners II stay out of the market, or
any other kind of bear dope. The crop
is short and you will get a long price
by simply waiting for it.
Respectfully,
WALTER CLARK, President
At last the worm has turned. In
stead of allowing stock gamblers and
Wall Street spectators to fix the price
of the South's greatest staple, several
hundred thousand producers have form
ed an organization to protect their
interests, and in the future they can
say to the spinner and exporter

what they shall give the farmer for his
cotton. Every man in the South owse
this organization his hearty co-opera-
ton, whether he be a producer or not,
as all are affected alike by the objects
it has, in view. To M~ississippians
it means a Greater Mississippi" in
every sense of the word. The officers
are excellent gentlemen and have the
interests of the members sincerely al
heart. Mr.. Clark, the President, is
one of the largest planters and most
prominent men in the State, while in
the secretary, DR.. Will FL. Woods,
they have an able and fearless expo
nent of the peoples rights who will ex-
ert every energy in their behalf. The
entire complement of officers are able,
honest and fearless men. Back up their
efforts by your earnest cooperation.
Every man that is at all interested in
the cotton crop of the South should be
a member and help to furnish the sim
ews of war to carry on the fight begun
under such favorable circumstances.
