The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-08-01
A Southern Idyl.

The crop is about laid by. Steamng mules and
happy plow hands dragging through the last
cotton middle-just breaking the crust it were.
The corn field felt the plown farewell touch
days ago. But the bottom blades beginning
to ripen, and after few days Of sweet compan-
ionship with the Georgia Rattlesnake" and the
COP Swimmin Hole,' fodder-pulling time will
sound clarion call for the scattered hands. Then
the darkies begin TO sing evenings when the
cured bundles are being placed Systematically
around the stack-poles by experienced "stackers"
who receive the bundles from their companions
with as much seriousness of purpose the
evince in constructing a building from the
brick and mortar laid at their feet by the stopping
hod-carrers.
This however, is only Introductory to the grand
chorus The real depth of feeling, the sheer aban-
don and the proper stage-settng does not come
the great hearts of the maturing bolls burst with
JOY. That is the supreme moment and the beautl-
full blended voices of the negro cotton-plckers of
the South is sound, once heard, never to be
forgotten. One cannot find any adjectives to ex-
press the wild, untutored beauty of it. It is a
ness and mingled hope and regret, and one cannot
stop without burdening it with that indefnable
qualifcaton-and call it weird. But this at
tempt at description is arrant nonsense. 1t has
all been said before and it is all Inadequate. If
seeing is believing, hearing is the only possible
way of knowing what the sound of negroes sing
ing in the cotton fields in September is like.
But the opportunity for satisfying this audi
tory curiosity is near at hand. For, are we not
laying BY and won't fodder soon be ready to pulIs
And then the town will yield its pilgrimage to
the cotton field the Mecca of the negro of the
South. Then will come days and nights filed with
song and laughter and the nimble plying OF I'm
gers set to music that is perhaps lone relic of
long forgotten Congo-Rowland Cor. Lumberton
Robesonian.

THE REVISED REPORT ON COTTON ACREAGE.

The urgent demands for revised report on cot
ton acreage-resulting from charges that the
June report was manipulated by ex-Assstant
Statistician Holmes-led the Department of Ag-
riculture last week to make new investigation
of its original sources of information and the
upshot of this investigation is the following an
nouncement:
"The board finds upon careful consideration of
the reports of all classes of correspondents and
agents, that the acreage planted in cotton this
year, including the entire season. should have been
estimated at S5.1 per cent of that planted last
year, equivalent to a reduction in planted acreage
as compared with last year, of 14.9 per cent Gin
stead of ia cent? or 4,731, 900 acres-the
innate of the total acreage planted this year be-
ing 5000 900 acres.
"The estimated percentage of the decrease in
each of the cotton-growing States is as follows:
Virginia 49, North Carolina 16 South Carolina
IA Georgia IA, Florida -, Alabama II, Missis
sippi 16, Louisiana II, Texas 16, Arkansas 49,
Tennessee 13, Missouri Is, Oklahoma Is, Indian
Territory, IL"
The June report, as "doctored" by Holmes, it is
worth while to recall, showed decrease of ia
per cent as compared with 14.9 per cent now an
nounced, total acreage 28.12O,O00 acres against
revised report of 1899 OOO and the decreases for
the several States were then estimated follows:
Virginia 49, North Carolina 10, South Carolina
IL, 06OrR1a IL, GlOF1ud ~. AIdDdHd o, MlSSlS-
sippi 12, Louisiana IA, Texas 12 Arkansas Is,
Tennessee 10, Missouri IA, Oklahoma IL, Indian
Territory 10.
The new acreage estimate is probably very
ly correct. This seems all the more probable be-
cause it is so nearly average of the other nota-
BILE estimates that have been made, some of these
being as follows: Financial Chronicle, 1920 per
cent: Latham, Alexander & Co., 112 per cent;
No,,, vorl~ Journal of Commerce 70 90 ner cent.
New Orleans Times-Democrat, Is per cent; Theo-
dore Fl. Price, 173 per cent; Southern Cotton As
sociatioa, 1S.43 per cent

Monstrous as it for Holmes and his associ-
ates to betray their high trust by selling informa
ton to New York gamblers. not even this was
half so Infamous their deep-dyed conspiracy to
falslfy the acreage returns, bv which crime they
robbed our Southern farmers of millions of hard
earned dollars. The last man connected with this
colossal fraud should have the full penalty of the
law, and too much can never be said in praise of
the energy and perseverance shown by Mr. Rich
ard Cheatham in ferreting out the responsible Of
tenders.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

There is topic peremptorily forbidden to
all we-bred, to all rational mortals, namely their
distempers. If you have not slept, or if you have
slept, if you have headache or sciatica or lep-
rosy or thunderstroke, beseech you by all angels

FOUL BREATH.

Foul breath Is caused by foul stomach
attended with torpid liver, bitter or bad
taste, furred tongue, loss of, or irregular
appetite, heavy or full bloated feeling in
stomach, water brash," or sour eructa-
tions of gas, sick or bilious headaches,
disposition to dependency, or the
blues" irritable temper or peevishness
and kindred symptoms. Not all of these
symptoms are present in every case.
To tone up and invigorate both stom-
ach and liver and start the digestive pro-
cesses into healthy action, there is. to say
the least, no superior agent to DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is prepared
without the use of a particle of alcohol,
from the active medicinal principles ex-
tracted from the roots CT native American
plants, and is an honestly made, safe med
icine that any one may take without fear
of forming an appetite for stimulants.
Its benefits and cures are lasting and not
simply the temporary eXhilaration some
times experienced from strong alcoholic
preparations.
No man is stronger than his stomach,
therefore, when the stomach is weak it
should be promptly toned up and put in
order to the end that it may properly di-
gest and prepare for proper assimilation
the food which otherwise can not
strengthen the body. You cannot find
medicine that will do this more promptly
and permanently than Golden Medical
Discovery" whole train of bodily all
ments result when the stomach becomes
foul, torpid and weak, and, naturally
enough, when the stomach trouble is
cured they, being dependent thereon, dis
appear; hence 1t is that rheumatism,
blotches, pimples, erupUlons, scrotulous
sores, kidney affections and various and
diverse appearing maladies yield to the
potent tonic and Alternative properties of
the Golden Medical Discovery" Bear
in mind that the Discovery Is an ac
tive, potent medicine and not a beverage
to be taken for its eXhilaratinG effects.
1t is made TO cure disease, not to appease
q craving for stimulants
Don't be wheedled or over persuaded
into taking something else which may be
said to be "just as good" Take only

Gerbing.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length of time without ac-
quiring a drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.

Of money accumulated abroad in expectation or
supplying the demands of Russia for indemnity
purposes Foreign bankers will be only too glad
to take advantage of the higher rates at this
centre and, despite the fact that the Bank OF
England has advanced it's minimum rate of dis
count there is no good reason to believe that
efforts of the bank to prevent gold shipments to
the United States will be effective in checking
an outward movement. Russia. it is true, is
arranging to bring out a new loan, but one Of,
say, $500, 600 000 the amount expected to be
f1oated. is far different question from an in
demnity of 5000, 100000 more. France ex-
pected and prepared for a large indemnity pay
nent by Russia to Japan. AS the largest holder
of Russas external debt, France naturally
made preparations to extend further help to the
Russian Empire for it's own fiscal protection and
that there is to be no indemnity the large
supply of money in Paris will become available
for use in the local market through the medium
of foreign exchange operations. If It were not
for the fact that the United States happens to
be in a position to borrow money abroad the low
condition of the bank reserves in this city might
cause alarm in Wall Street banking circles.
