THE PROPOSED COTTON POOL.

A combination has been formed
with w. p. Brown, the great cotton
s%peculator at its head, for the holding
back of 1000, 900 bales of cotton.
Some such a plan has been discussed
ever since the slump in the cotton
market, but it remained for the Cot
ton Growers Convention at New Or
leans to give it constructive force.
Hence the plan is an outgrowth and
an adjunct Of the association. 1t is
stated that the combine" or pool
will have $50, OO0, 900 behind it, and
that the scheme is endorsed, not only
by many of the leading bankers and
tinancierS of the South, but by many
of those of New York City. Mr.. Brown
has some prominent tinanciers directly
connected with him in the consumma-
tion Of his plans.
All the details have not yet been
made public, but among other things
it is proposed to advance the farmer,
that will give the pool sc per pound
on his cotton held, provided the cot
ton be kept until the first day Of next
September. AS to warehouSing and
handling the pooled" cotton, a COM
mittee is to meet in New Orleans on
February 4th to perfect plans. The
whole project is a gigantic one, and is
beyond a doubt the greatest industrial
corner" ever proposed. The cotton
producers extremity, in the richest
and the most delightful of all lands,
makes the opportunity for them to test
some of the "a 81 frequently re-
sorted to by his brother up the way
who handles iron, meat, paper and al
most numberleSS other commodities.
OF course we are 4 well wiSher for the
success of the pool. Every man, wom-
an and child in the South are concern
ed about the cotton crop and what is
received for it. We, of the South are
on a cotton basis" Cotton is the
scale or standard by which we measure
all of our enterprises and investments.
The farmer has nothing to lose and
all to gain by giving the scheme his
cooperation, and it remains to be seen
how much stress the average farmer
puts upon organization.

The output Of gold and silver in the
United States for the year 1904, as
reported to the director Of the mint,
shows large gains over the preceding
year. In the production of gold, Col
orado leads with s26, 600, 900, followed
next by California with $4,000, 600.
The total production Of gold amount
ing to s84, sol, 800; of silver $50, 6O4,-
600. Montana ranks first in the
production of silver, with Colorado
and Utah pretty close seconds. The
above figures attest something of the
greatness of Il country and the mag
nitude Of its resources. Besides the
gold and silver that nature has stored
away for us in the bowels of the earth,
think OF what is there in coal, iron,
copper, zinc, lead. sulphur, salt and
many other things. 4@'''"L'

While cotton is low MiSSiSSippianS
are optimistic and business is not
viewed with gloomy forebodingS as
one might have expected twelve
months ago. Few mortgage sales are
advertised. Money is plentiful. The
farmers barns are full OF corn AND
good hay. The merchants are on coed
footing; very few mercantile failures
are to be noticed anywhere in the State.
And altogetherIthe star of hope shines
brightly and bids US be of good cheer.
Business continues good in Grenada.

A~NTl.RACING BILL PASSED,

By a very decided Votes to 7
an a%nti-racing bill has passed the Ten
neSSee Senate and it now appears that
it will go through the lower house in
a whirl. The contest has been a very
spirited one on both sides, some of
the best talent and the ableSt men in
the state being engaged. The fight
for the bill and against racing was
led by the ministers OF the State and
they seem to have put in their blows
so quickly and so rapidly, being rein
forced as. they are by the pleas that
go up from so many homes Of men,
wrecked at the ace and ruined for
life, that the friends of the race track
were on the run before they realized
| what was pursuing them. Business
considerations prompt a great many
to stand by the races. Hundreds OF
| thousands of dollars are invested in
| the breeding OF race horses and fine
stock. 1t is claimed that the killing
! of the races will annihilate the fine
| stock breeders. This is to be regret
ted. and it is to be hoped that the
people of the state will Still retaif
their love for pretty horses and thai
they will breed stock more for service
rather than spasmodic gain.
Whatever may be said pro and cor
on the subject of races, the facts stant
out prominently that whenever thu
protestant ministers ola community
or state, make a united effort for o.
against a thing or measure, those op
posing them had as well send in a flag
of truce at once. This is amply proven
by the issue just alluded to before Tie
Tennessee Senate. And the fact about
the matter is, no man can afford to pul
himself in open opposition to all the
churches, regardless of what he may
think of the propriety. of certain is
sues.

MUST EXERCISE RAILWAY SUPERVISION
be aroused

On the night of January Both, be-
fore the Uuion League Club at Phila-
delphia, President Roosevelt stated
at length his position in regard to
the regulation Of freight rates. To
our mind the speech vas a great one
and should meet with a patriotic re-
Spouse in the hearts of all lovers of
our country. The whole speech shows
conscientious thought and ar earnest
desire to do that which will promote
the interests Of all classes, both rich
and poor. Had John Sharpe Williams,
w. j. Bryan, Grover Cleveland or
any one of Our other great democrats
been consulted by Mr.. Roosevelt about
what he was to proclaim in this speech,
they would have doubtless given the
address their 0. K.
There is much disturbance in the
republican camp-they are puzzled to
know how to meet the issue. The
democrats in Congress have assured
the President of their cooperation.
This may cause the republicans to
rally to the President, lest the demo
Gratis should get the credit of enacting
this wholesome legislation.

The spirit that animated the mind
of Felix when he uttered those words
to Paul which too frequently have
been the gateway to dowing the best
that is in man,-"when | have q more
convenient season, l will call fol
thee" seems to prcvade the great
mass of the world today. Tomorrow
will do as well as today, has ruined
many institutions, w%aterlooed many
young man and appOmattoxed many
hopes that might have found fruitior

There is a loseneSs and a SlackneSs
about obligations at the present time
ought to give our people the most Sc.
riouS concern, and cause the guardians
of the public veal to assemble in the
halls of discretion and ACCESSIBILITY &c
consider the source of this putrefying
vein, and where it will land those who
float upon it's bosom, sung asleep
by the lullaby of procraStinatiOn.
Few people count sacredly on liter
ally keeping their word. Too many OF
those who execute written obligations,
due and payable at a certain time,
count the holder of their obligation
fortunate indeed if it is redeemed in
sixty or ninety days from maturity.
This lOSeneSS has SO thoroughly mast
cred us that it has found its way into
the temples of justice. We have alb
Solutely winked at ~lawleSSneSS so much
that it is well nigh impossible to bring
about the exact enforcement of any law
upon the statute books. Our judges,
our jurieS, IL citizens and our news
papers have established a halfway
ground between right and wrOng-a
compromising way of enforcing right,
so that when we cry out against evil we
are at once confronted with what has

Few will deny that these statements
are correct. They are not written OF
because the writer delights in them
and is glad to parade them before the
public glare, but because of our duty
to the public, and in the hope that
the consciousness Of the people may
be aroused.

EULOGlES ON THE LIFE OF SENATOR
HOAR.

On January 28th brilliant addresses
were made in the U. S. Senate, in eu-
logy of the late Senator Geo. T. HOar,
of NJ Massachusetts. Senators both North
and South Of Mason and Dixon's line
spoke feelingly- Of their associations
with the departed Senator, and his
worth as an individual and as a mem
ber. Of the Senate.
Senator Hoar died ripe in years and
full of honor. He had been a promi-
nent figure at the national capitol
ever since the war. In the days past,
he was an intense partisan and i'm
bibed the spirit of his surroundings in
antagonizing the South. But time
and rich experience and observation
mellOwed him very much. And in
the late years of his life, he was fair
to this section, and frequently sought
an opportunity to smooth the path
way for the South, and to compliment
our people upon the handling Of the
great problems the war thrust up
on us.
In his private life he was pure aud
above reproach, and the whole nation
sustained a great loss in his death.

Plato and his contemporaries, by
mere intellect and logic, reasoned that
there was a universal supreme first
cause, which they denominated ZeuS,

realm of thought was very much cir

scapes of learning upon which the in
~tellectual eye feasts today. II Plato
and Socrates, in their time realized
that there is a divinity, what shall
we say of a man today, surrounded

A KNOCK OUT FOR THE BEEF TRUST

The u. S. Supreme court afirms the
decision of the lower court in the cas-
styled the United States VS.. Swift a.
Company.
The charge against the defendants
was that ''they had formed or Joined
in a combination of a dominant pro-
portion of the dealers in fresh meats
throughout the United States not to
bid against each other in the live stock
markets of the different states; to bid
up prices for a few days in order to
induce cattlemen to send their stock
to the stockyards; to fix prices at.
which they will sell, and to that end
restrict shipments of meat when nec-
eSSary; to establish a uniform rule of
credit to dealers and to keep a. black
list; to make uniform and improper
charges for carriage, and finally to get
less than lawful rates from the rail-
roads to the exclusion of competitors"
The opinion of the court was una
imouS and makes it clear that the gov
eminent is able to deal with all con-
ditions that stife honest competition
and prevents the individual from reap
ing q just reward of his toll. The de-
ciSiOn SuStainS the contention of
Judge Parker in the recent national
campaign that our present laws are
ample for dealing with the trusts if
the courts will but enforce them. "
The court administered a Knockout
blow to the beef trust.

Cautionary signals are up in Wall street, and this in spite of exceptional ly brilliant prospects, says Banker Clews. Both money and foreign ex- change have advanced, and firm rates are likely to continue. The significant feature of the situation is that this tension in the money market is not confined to New York. In all of the worlds principal money markets rates have advanced, and those who hold the reins of finance are manifesting an increasingly prudent spirit. Interest rates at New York, London, Paris and Berlin have practically doubled since the opening of September, and the various international money markets are showing a disposition to increase their supplies of gold at the expense of each other. Bank reserves at New York are at the lowest point within a dozen years, save in one or two mo- mentary periods, while reserves of the great foreign banks are also lower than usual and their managers openly recognize the necessity for caution.

sas produces more wheat than any other state or country in the world. With these startling facts properly di- gested, the reader should turn to an Illinois boomers figures. This man says calmly: 'In 1899, according to the government reports, the Illinois corn crop was greater than that of all the New England states, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan, Vir- ginia, South Carolina, Florida, West Virginia, Montana, Wyoming, Cobra do, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Oregon, California and Kansas com bined.' The statistics stagger the i'm agination. If the wheat crop of Kan sas exceeds that of any other state or country, and the wheat crop is a mere "side issue'' as compared to corn; if the corn crop of Kansas amounts to but a fraction of that of Illinois, and if Iowa is known as the corn state of the Union-what, we ask hopefully, will Governor Cummins have to say now?

Not long ago a man in New York stole a woman's purse containing S26O and he was arrested. Tn the police court he gave as his defence for the theft that he was i'll and out of work for long time and that his wife and children were starving at home. In- vestigation proved the mans story to be true. But he had committed a crime, a serious crime against the law, and stern justice, that Is blind to ev- eryrhing but the facts of crime, de. manded his punishment The man was sentenced to nine months in pris- on. and his family was left to die of starvation or commit suicide or get out of existence the quickest way it could.
