NOT MR.. sEAvER's GIFT.
But That Of the National Humane ALI
ance, of Which He Is an Officer.


Lewis NJ. Seaver, secretary and treas
urer of the National Humane Alliance
with headquarters in New York, writing
from Williamstown, asks The Times to
correct the item in Saturdays paper
which said that he is giving drinking
fountain TO the city of Burlington. Mr..
Seaver says that the credit for the gift
should be given to the National Human
Alliance, instead OF to himself person
ally. The Times is pleased to make
the correction, and adds the further ex-
planation of MIR. Seayer, as follows:
"The City OF Burlington is only one
Of many to which we have given drink
ing fountain, and as the active business
and detail is looked after BY me,
suppose it is natural that errors of this
kind occur. But the fountains are fur
nished entirely from the fund Of the
association, and to the same should be
given the entire credit"

ORGANIZE.
A Declaration Of independence by the
Cotton Planters of the South.

A Declaration Of lndepcnden by the
Cotton Planters of the South.
In the past we have worked hard
and long to produce as good crops as
possible.
When the crops were produced. AMI
and even before, a lot of people who
produce nothing assumed to sell our
crops at prices made by themselves.
and expected us to deliver to them AT
these prices
The prices set never took into ac-
count our inves ments. toll or sacri.
fees, neither were any profits con
sidered for us.
BY this plan we were absolutely
dependent on other people. and az
there never was any certainty. one
year with another. what they would
allow us for our stuff. our business
was unsatisfactory and uncertain.
But knowing that we first have the
cotton on which all the mills of the
world depend and even the comfort
of the people.
Therefore, we know that we need
not be dependent upon other people to
put prices on our goods. but that We
can put fair price, or high price il
we want to, on our own cotton. and
the other people will pay such rather
| than go unclothed.
Also we know that all we produce
| goes into consumption; hence there
is not much danger of having any left
over If we quit dumping our stuff and
letting the other people hold it.
But If we hold it ourselves until
the demand comes, the demand will
be as strong as the supply and when
| the year is around our warehouses will
be empty and our bank account will
be larger.
Or, If We do raise surplus, we
| cannot know this for certainty al
| the beginning Of the season. Hence
we VIII start out with a good price
and II all our supply is not taken we
| will hold over for the short crop years.
Now. therefore, as the Southern Cot.
ton Association supplies a simple and
| practical plan TO remedy our troubles.
We do hereby declare ourselves free
and Independent from all spectators,
| gamblers, unfair middlemen and com.
| mission men.
| Send to e. s. Peters, vice president
| Southern Cotton Association. Calvert,
| Texas. for constitution and bylaws and
| organize.

and Gervais Lombard, assistant engin-
Ger. in charge of the fevee work in

tour of the levees in upper Caddo and

presses the opinion that there Will NOT
be an overflow from Red river. He be-
lieves that the final stage will not be
over "a feet, and in that event no serl-
Gus damage will result. The only daE'
ger is the washing out OF the concaVe
banks. Where such banks are struck
by strong river currents. causing con-
slant washing away of the bank. Major
Kerr says. there is some danger, ana
run-arounds must be constructed.
