To Cotton Growers Of Kemper.

To Cotton Growers of Kernper.
We are in receipt OF a circular
letter from the Executive Com
mittec for Mississ ippi OF the
Southern Cotton Association, the
gist OF which follows:
AL farmers and others inter
ested IN the future welfare and
prosperity of the South, are re
qnested to meet at 2 p. m. next
saturday, February 18th, at their
respective voting precincts, and
organize Precinct Associations,
the membership fee being 25
cents. They are then to elect
etficers-a President, Vice Pres,
Secretary and Treasurer-and
three representatives to County
Convention, to be held at the
Court House in DeKulb. at 2 p.
m. on Thursday, February 10th.
The representatives to the Go.
Convention are to visit every
farmer who does not attend the
Precinct meeting, and secure
from him a pledge that he will
reduce his acreage in Gotten aud
the amount OF fertilizer he uses
at least % per cent: try to induce
him to join the Association ; col
lect statistics from each farmer
number OF acres planted iii cotton
in 1904, number to be planted in
1905, amount of fertilizer nsed on
cotton in 1901, amount proposed
70 be used in 1905, number OF
bales made ia 1904; take names
of all who refuse to join the AS
ISOLATION aud, rs near as possible,
ascertain number OF acres planted
in 1904 and number OF bales made
by each.
The County Convention will
elect officers.
The Precinct Treasures will
turn over to the County Treas
urer all funds collected by them,
and the Co. Treasurer will remit
to the State Treasurer one half OF
the total amount. retaining the
other halt for use in the county.
At the County Convention one
representative will be elected to
the State Conve which
meets at jackson at 10 a. nj. on
Tuesday, February 2lst.
1t will be noticed that, in the
foregoing, the call for Precinct
meetings interferes with the cal
for a County meeting, published
in the last issue OF Tue HERALD.
As the above is the plan likely
to be followed in a great majority
OF the counties of the State, We
believe it would be the better ore
to follow.

 Th4 guides got their nerve back af- ter they got out in the air, because they wouldn't help dad down unless he paid them something every stono they helped him climb down. so when he got down he didn't have any money, and hardly any pants, because what pants the Arabs didn't tear were worn off on the stones. so when he showed up in front of the spinks he was q sight, and he bought turban of a guide and unwound 1t and wound it around him in place of pants. l was ashamed of dad myself and it Is pret- ty hard to make me ashamed
 We went back to Cairo on the cars, and what do you think, that dead camel that the Arabs made dad pay for was with the caravan going back to town, cause we saw him out of the car window with the hair wore off where dad kicked him in the side. The tour ists say tho Arabs have that camel trained to die every day when they get to the pyramids, and they make some tenderfoot pay for him at the end of each Journey. Dad is going to try to get his money back from the Egyptian government, but I guess he Will never realize on his claim.
 Well, sir, after dad had doctored all night to get the camel rheumatism and spinal meningitis out of his system. we took trip by boat on the Nile, and saw the banks where the people grow crops by irrigation, and where an Eng fish syndicate has built big dam, so the whole valley can be irrigated, and I tell you 1t will not be long before Egypt will raise everything used in the world on that desert, and every other country that raises food to sell will be busted up in business, but It lS disgusting to take a trip on the Nile Cause all the natives are dirty anc sick with contagious diseases, and they are lazy and crippled. and beg for living, and if you don't give then something they steal all you got. Yot are in luck If you get away without having leprosy, or the plague, or chol' era, or fleas.
 So we went back to Cairo, and there was the worst commotion you ever saw, about my fireworks in the tomb The papers said that an American dy' namiter had attempted to blow up the great pyramid, and take possession oi the country and place it under the American flag, and that the conspira' tors were spotted and would be ar rested and put in irons as soon as they got back from trip on the Nile.

I thought I might as well wind the thing up glorious, so I touched the tail of my last giant frecracker to the sparks that were oozing out Of my empty roman candle, and threw It into the middle of the great room, and when it went off you would think d cannon had exploded. and everybody rushed for the door. and we fell over each other getting out through the passage towards the door.
 I was the first to get out on to the side of the pyramid, and I watched for the crowd to come out. The tourists got out first, and then dad came out, puffing and wheezing, and the last to come out were the Arabs, and they came on their hands and knees, call ing to MT. Allah and every one or them actually pale, and I think they were conscience stricken, for they De- gan to give back the money they had robbed dad of, and an Arab must De pretty scared to give up any of ms hard-earned robberies. I think dad was about the maddest man there was, until he got some of his money back, when he felt better, but he gave me talking to that will never forget.
 He said: Don't you know better than to go around with explosives, ike a train robber, and fire them off in hole in the ground, where there is no ventilation, and make peoples cars ring? Maybe you have woke up those kings and queens in there, and changed

 H. Rider Haggard, who is here as an envoy of the British Government in the course of an investigation of Sal vation Army colonies in America, said today: T see nothing except revolu- tion and ruin in this country if you do not curb your gigantic trusts. Prices have been elevated to the prohibitive point for all except the very rich, and this will cause trouble unless a rem edy is quickly and thoroughly applied, nl the table costs more in Colorado. where 1t is made than 1t does In England! believe the colonization of city people in large tracts of land will solve the problem of high prices.
 The poor who live in your big cities and in Colorado get what we consider in England a good wage, but the cost of living Is so high here that they have no conveniences, comforts or money. The poorer classes of people in England do not make as much money as in this country, but they live bet ter"

 We'll, sir. thought dad was a brave man, but he blatted like a calf, and when the camel stopped and went to rating a clump of grass dad opened his eyes. and when he saw that the pro cession had stopped he rolled off his camel like a bag of wheat and stuck in the sand and began to say a prayer, but when he saw me standing there, laughing, he stopped praying, and said to me: "I thought you were blown up when that jackass kicked the can of dynamite You have more lives than 3 cat.
