he met his kind hostess at the door,

cold, which made her slightly deaf.

inquiring about her cold. She replied
that though she usually had one every
winter. this was the worse she had
ever had it had kept her awake at
night a great deal at first, and con-
fined her to bed. Then noticing that
the scribe was becoming pale and

TEXT BOOK UNIFORMITY.

-Jonesboro Times Enterprise
Text book uniformity should prevail
ali over the state. The taXt books
should be selected by competent
board of educators, and from competi
tive lists furnished by the publishers
and whenever a series is adopted
there should be no change under foul
years. A text book in a Jefferson
county public school should be a text
book in any other public school in any
other county in the state.
The present system allows the pee
pie to be mercilessly robbed by the
publishers of school books.

EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION.

Slowly, but surely. the whole cott on
world is coming to recognize the i'm
mense significance of organization
among the farmers Of the southern
states There have been many organ
izations Of farmers in days gone by.
but not until the present year was such
a movement ever attempted along
practical liues. hence. not until 1905
were practical results ever attained.
Viewed from old standpoints. the
situation today is remarkable in Many
ways. principally because the specu-
lator has been very largely eliminated
as the dominating price-naking fac
tor This has been brought about
solely through the logical effect of the
intelligent marketing of the crop by
the farmers themselves, the conse-
Quent pressures on the spinners and
the natural fear that in future raw cot
ton supplies will not be SO easily OBJ
tainahle as in the days when the far
Mer's first thought was the disposition
of his crop to the first conner who had
the cash to buy it with.
This is all Just rs il should he and
will inevitably work wonders in the
upbuildine of the cotton ~ owiae
states. provided the farmers do not
pet side-tracked or overio th,> thira,
There is now no reason to fear the
development of other cotton growing
fields in other parts of the world, but
should the healthy growth Of the
worlds spinning and weaving industry
be checked by the American farmer
the development work of the British
Cotton Growing association will re-
ceive an immense impetus.
The practical course for the south
is. beyond doubt. the raising of an
pie cotton each year. the marketing of
the cotton slowly and to the best pos
sible advantage, the diversifcation of
crops. the raising of all farm supplies
possible and the avoiding of all such
schemes as that proposed by Mr.. Sui
y for the cornering of the cotton mar
ket and the gambling il Ton fu-
lures.
