THE COTTON CONVENTION.

The result of the Southern Inter-
State Cotton Convention, which was
in session at New Orleans last week,
declared in favor of a twenty-five per
cent reduction in acreage and an equal
reduction in the use of commercial
fertilizers, and backed it up with
the adoption of comprehensive plan
to secure the support of every farmer,
bic and little. 1t is proposed to or
ganize the farmers in every county OF
the cotton belt and secure from them
a pledge to support the action of the
convention.
There is no doubt that reduction in
acreage and use of fertilizers this
year is the only way for the farmers
TO get anything like good price for
their cotton next fall. 1t is she num-
Der of bales that regulates the price
of cotton. The price this year re-
NAMED fairly satisfactory as long as
the impression was strong that the
crop would not go beyond 1,OOO, 600
or II, 500, 900 bales. 1t was when re-
ports indicated a crop of $1,000, 900 or
l2,5OO, 900 bales that it began to weak
en-, and as evidence in support of that
view accumulated it dropped until it
reached its present level.
But, as the Savannah News well
SAYS, there is one thing cotton plant
ers should keep in mind, and that is
that it is only in exceptional years
that they are able to get such high
price for their crop as they got last
year. If they were to try to keep down
their output so that they would get II
cents pound every year they would
simply kill the goose that laid the
golden egg. Notwithstanding the fact
ties on cotton culture assert that there
is no danger that this country will
ever have serious competition in the
production of cotton there are many
good reasons for thinking there are
other countries in which cotton can be
grown successfully and at much less
cost than it can be grown in this coun-
try, on account of the smaller cost of
labor. England, France and Ger
many are making experiments in Asia
and Africa, and it wouldn't be sur
prising'if they should meet with sue
cess. Indeed, the claim is made that
excellent cotton is being produced in
portions of Africa.
The aim of the cotton planter, says
our contemporary, should be to keep
production at price that would yield
fair profit and at the same time
would discourage efforts at the pro-
duction of cotton in other sections of
the world. TO hit that happy means
is difficult problem to solve, and yet
the best interests of the cotton plant
ers lie in that direction.

HON. w. E. STEED.

Georgia has been full of political
sensations and surprises recently, and
one of the most unexpected of them all
was the card issued by Hon. w.
z. Steed of Taylor last Wednesday
announcing his withdrawal from the
race for the presidency of the state
senate.
Mr.. Steed has been frequently men
toned in the OSborne-MOrriS letters,
and it is thought this political discus
sion had something to do with his
action. He refers to the letters in a
dignified way, and puts his with
drawal on the ground of desire to
avoid any internal dissensions in/the
party. He says he places the welfare
of the democratic party above any
personal ambition which he may have,
and in order that there may be no
party dissensions in this connection
so far as he is concerned he prefers
to retire from the race.

THE WAY TO DO II.

The Eufaula Times notes that the
board of trade of a certain town held
a mass meeting of its citizens and
PRAYER meetings and entertainments
were called off, and as result stand
ing room could not be had in the large
auditorium. People actually had to
be turned away. The purpose of the
meeting was to create fund to get
ready for any project that would be of
benefit to the city and surrounding
country. They made company con-
Germ of it, and sold shares at $50 each,
and blocks were taken from l to 300
until they reached $40, 900. They
want to make it 100000
Now, that is they way to do things.
1t reminds US, too, that there are mat
tiers the Dawson board of trade might
look after to advantage to the city
for instance, lower freight rates
and respecta BILE passenger station.
There is no doubt that freight rates
have been gradually advanced by the
railroads until they are now nearly or
quite as high on many articles as
before the reduction several years ago.
The Dawson board of trade is COM
posed of some of the city's foremost
and most progressive business men,
and they should put little life into
their body and get busy.
There is work to do.

If Mr.. Osborne is really in earnest
about electing a president of the SEN

the influence of corporations he will
find an ideal candidate in Hon. Muir
ply Gambler. AS a member of the

Gambler consistently opposed all cor
poration measures, and his every vote
was cast on the side of the people.
Coupled with this record he is an able

Now that Mr.. Steed has retired
from the race for the presidency of
the senate what is Mr.. Osborne the
patriot with the ready pen, going to
do? Mr.. OsbOrne's letters have not
deceived anyone who is at all familiar
with Georgia politics. Of the candi-
dates for the presidency of the senate
Mr.. Steed was by no means the one
closest to the crowd from whom Mr..
Osborne would apparently save the
state and the democratic party, and
a little time will very likely prove it.
ACCORDING to story which comes
from Alabama q queer question of law
has arisen there. A man who was le-
gally hanged and pronounced dead
revived and is now alive, and the au-
thorities want to know if he is Off
cially dead or can he again be put
on the gallows and executed. The con-
demned culprit is no doubt satisfied
if the law is.
IT will cost $40, 900 to try Judge
Swayne, the federal Judge in Florida,
against whom impeachment proceed
ings have been begun. The Savannah
Press thinks it would be cheaper to let
the old man draw his ten dollars
day and say nothing about it.

JUDGING from the proceedings of
the cotton growers convention at
New Orleans, as published in the

spicuous by his absence. Ofice-hold-

and others who love to pose as ''lead-
ers' in matters agricultural were
very much in evidence, and seemed to
be in full charge of the gathering.
Even those who advised the farmers to
hold their cotton when they could get
from ten to eleven cents a pound for
it were on hand bright and clipper to
tell the confding ones who then took
their advice what to do now to be saw
