Lady Hotel Guest Receives Some En-.
dghtenment Yrom Colored
Waiter.

A woman lives At ono of the Kansas
City hotels who has the reputation Of be-
ing rather inicky and hard to please in
the manner of food. A day or two ago
at lunch, relates the Kansas City Jour
nal, after looking over the dessert list,
she decided or some ice cream pudding.
The meal had been one with which she
had considerable difficulty in finding fault,
but when she had about half finished the
dessert she called the waiter over and
said:
George, what do you mean by calling
this ice cream pudding? There isn't any
ice cream about it, and you know it."
"Yes'm," said the waiter. u know
dere amt no ice cream in it. OATS jes'
a name they give it. I do know why"
WELL" she continued II think that
if they give dish such name they
ought to make it conform to the name,
and if you call this ice cream pudding,
you ought to bring some ice cream with
it."
'Yes'm," answered TIE servitor, ''but
you know we can't allus do it that way.
You know we doesn't bring cottage in
with cottage pudding"
The waters reply brought burst Of
laughter from the people who heard the
conversation, and since then the woman's
criticisms of the menu have been few and
infrequent.

THIS YEARS COTTON CROP.
j. Pope Brown Discusses e Last
Springs Editorial In the At
lanta Constitution.

Last spring there appeared in the
columns of the Atlanta Constitution a
most remarkable production. This ar
t:cle called upon the farmers of the
country to plant for twelve million
bales OF cotton. 1t went on to tell
the farmers why they ought to make
twelve million, and that if they did
make twelve million it would be no
more than the country was obliged to
have, and that they would get big
prices for it. This article wound up
by saying that under normal condi-
lions we should have made twelve
million bales of cotton last year, and
said the increase in the cotton acre
age this year in the south was SO 1-3
per cent. Therefore the only conclu-
sion to be arrived at from there pre-
misses was that under normal condi-
tons this year that the world might
look for sixteen million bales Of cot
tom Now that is the advice that the
Atlanta Constitution gave to the farm
ers, and that is the information that
they gave out to the world. Our peo-
pie sat by silent and dumb as sheep
before the shearer, and nobody raised
his voice in protest. Knowing that
farmers don't like to be advised, espe-
cially by man in the farming BUSH
ness, I did not take it upon myself to
advise them. but I did write you a
letter at this time; and without claim
ing to be a prophet or son of
prophet, did predict that if the adj
vice of the Constitution was taken, and
if the world believed the statement
made by the Constitution, that cotton
would go to eight cents pound be-
fore the season was over. To-day good
cotton is selling on the streets of
Hawkinsville at eight cents a pound.
When that article was written by the
Constitution cotton was bringing IA
or 10 cents per pound.
/ Just want to say one more time,
that / hope the farmers will not lose
their heads, and will stick first to hog
and hominy. There is no objection to
the man who first provides for his
home supplies. making all the cotton
he can after Going that; but it is
suicidal policy for them to neglect
these crops for the cotton crop. On
these lines I try to practice what l
preach, and my fields will show for
themselves. On this line these same
people and few others became very
historical about twelve months ago,
fearing the south would not produce
cotton enough to supply the demands
