THE COTTON SITUATION.

Notwithstanding the large receipts
of cotton the price is about steady at
the advance it made when it became
evident that many farmers had the
ability as we'll as the determination to
hold what they had on hand until it
could be sold without loss.
Now is the time to determine whether
cotton now on hand and cotton to be
made this year shall bring a protita-
BILE price, and fortunately this can be
brought about by those who raise cot
ton.
When it is shown that the acreage
planted is materially less than that OF
last season the surplus will be easily
handled, and ten million bale crop
will bring more to the raisers than
twelve millions would.
The demand for cotton throughout
the world makes the outlook bright,
and the only thing that can darken it
will be to again produce more cotton
than the world will consume at prices
sufficient to pay the raisers.

Mr.. Egan May We'd Princess.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Mr.. Clifford Egan, son of Mr.. Thos.
P. Egan, the millionaire woodwork
ing machinery manufacturer of Gin
cinnati, arrived in Montgomery yes
terday and will be the guest for a
short time of Mr.. c.. S. Allen at the
Melrose Hotel.
There is strong American and Ha-
waiian gossip that Mr.. Egan, who has
just returned from the annexed is
lands, has won the hand of a noted
Portuguese princess. 1t is said that
the arrangements for the marriage
are now being made, and that Mr..
Egan will shortly return to Honolulu,
where the event will be contaminated.
When Mr.. Egan was in Honolulu
last he CHANGED to stay at the same
hotel with the princess, who was at
the time on an inspection tour of large
estates of her own near that port. She
was attended by her full retinue, and
from associations in that city there
sprang an attachment which grew as
the days went.
Mr.. Egan neither affirms nor denies
the story, but it is noted that he looks
wistfull to the Hawaiian Islands and
on this account he may not remain in
Montgomery as long as he probably
first intended.

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

The News prints elsewhere today an
interview with Hon. M. j. Yeomans,
chairman of the state democratic exec
utive committee, in regard to the
movement to have two primaries in
Georgia for the selection sOf one SET
of officials. The new plan, If adopted,
would mean a primary for the nomina-
ton of governor and state house Off
Gals based on the popular vote of the
state and a second primary in the
event none of the candidates for the
positions received a majority OF all
the votes cast. The views of Chair
man Yeomans are a timely and OPP
perfume answer to those who. propose
this innovation. He points out the fact
that the result would be the wiping
out of all county lines and the control
of state politics by the larger towns
and cities, practically taking from the
rural citizen the power to shape party
policies and name the party candi-
dates.
1t is safe to say that they are not yet
ready to surrender this right ant

ADIsrINGUISHED PHYSICIANS
OPINION REGARDING OLD AGE.

A distinguished physician has re-
Gently declared that ''Old age is not a
! time of life-a length of yearS-but a
condition of the bodily tissues, and it
| is possible for a man at so to seem
older than a man at TO-.
'This is a fact. We happen TO know
a mother of 81 years and daughter
| of 80 years right here in Dawson, and
honestly you would believe the daugh-
ter to be the older of the two. The
mother is alert, lively and active,
while the daughter is fast losing her
mind and memory, and literally dying
of old age.
''The secret of youth" says Drug
gist Bell, of Bell Bros, lis to keep the
bodily tissues from wasting, and the
greatest discovery known to medicine
for this purpose is our cod liver oil
preparation, VinOl. as it contains in
a highly concentrated form all of the
medicinal elements of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods livers
but without oil or grease. Vinol is an
ideal strengthened and body builder
for old folks; it repairs worn tissues,
checks the natural decline, and re-
places weakness with strength as
nothing else can.
"Vinol tones up the stomach, Gre
ates a healthy appetite, makes rich,
red blood and invlgorates and
strengthens every organ in the body
to do it's work as nature intended.
Vinol is indeed great blessing to
old folks, and extracts from such let
tiers as the following prove it:
Mrs. Sarah WindrOm of Chicago.
H., grand-niece of Alexander Hamil
ton, says: 'Vinol is a godsend to
old people, as it is such wonderful
vitalizer and strength creator.
'A. j. Baker Of Evansville, Ind,
says: There is nothing like Vinol
for the aged, and [ would not take a
thousand dollars for the good it has
done me-.
81 just wish every person in Daw-
son who feels old, whether they are
old in years are not, would try Vinol
on our guarantee. We will give back
your money if you are not satisfied
we mean this for fair offer, and it is
up to you to prove our good faith. "

The Cotton Combination Movement


Hon. Harvie Jordan has finished
his western trip, and he is very much
encouraged over the prospect of hold
ing the farmers together on the prop
ositiOn both to plant less cotton and
to hold for better prices.
There are two things certain about
this movement. The first is, if the
farmers do not cut down the acreage
there will be cotton to burn at four
cents a pound next season, provided
an average yield is made per acre.
The second is, if the planters had not
held the cotton off the market it would
have gone to cents, or lower, this
season.
Cooperation is the business method
of the day. Cry out against it as
much as one may, it is yet condition
to face 1t is not a theory to discuss.
The world is up against it. Call it by
hard names if you choose. The only
wav to meet combinations is by com
binations. The cotton planters are
/ following the natural road to self
preservation by combining against
combinations. They have made good
already. And they will do better if
| they do not go to pieces.
] The evolution in business, like the
evolution in everything else, brings
daily new conditions and new neces-
stiles to be met. The man or concern
that sits quietly down on the methods
of forty years ago, and refuses to
move, will be hOpelessly left.
