END OF THE GRIP.

Physicians who have studied the
grip, or influenza, predict the dis.
appearance Of the disease this VIM
ter, and a good, long rest from it
for the world. This will be the
best of news, for while the grip
has not proved as bad as many
other diseases, it has during the
past fourteen years considerably
swelled the total mortality, and 1t
has produced an amount of suffer,
ing far greater than the world has
fully realized.
Influenza visited this country In
the season of ls49-50, but pre-
vailed only one season. 1t came
again in the Cos and lasted through
one winter. When it made it's
appearance in Russia in 1890, aud
gradually spread westward, it was
expected to follow the same course
as on the previous vlsitat,ons. In
this country, where we had timely
notice of It's coming, the doctors
warned the people and told them
in advance Of what they must ex.
pect and what they should do when
attacked, especially warning them
against Understanding The di
sease, which was most deceptive
and far more dangerous than 1t
appeared to be.
In spite of this, however, the
mortality was very high. If not
directly from The influenza, at least
from the pneumonia and bronchitis
it led TO- 1t showed marked
rheumatic type, affecting the lungs
in its latter stages, and was re-
sponslble for an enormous increase
in the deaths from lung troubles.
In one respect it, showed itself
entirely different from previous
visltations. Instead of continuing
only one season, as in the past, 1t
seemed to remain as a permanent
disease. Since it first got to Wes-
tern Europe and America, IN 1891,
it has continued year after year,
but changing Its symptoms With
every year.
As usual, the disease has broken
out for the winter IN England,
ahead of this country, and Is raging
there. 1t has gone back to the
old type. which it showed in the
4Os and Cos, and IS of the highly
neuralgia order. the patients suffer
ing from violent headaches. This
type, while unpleasant, ie,s of
course, not dangerous, as in case of
lung or heart complications. Be.
cause OF the return to the original
type, as we'll as because of the fact
that over 80 per cent. OF the peo-
pie have already had the disease
in It's worst form and are now i'm
mune. it is predicted that infln
enza IS on the eve of its departure
ard will disappear this winter.
This is the view taken by the spc-
cialists, who say fnrther that we
are likely to enjoy an immunity
from influenza for the next forty or
fifty years For all of which the
world will be truly grateful

Fifteen Cent Cotton.

AAtVVAL VVAkt VVGVVAs
The cotton growers of the South,
through and with the assistance of
their organization, The South
ern Cotton Association, are
slowly but surely winning the
greatest commercial battle eyer
known to the world. They are
being applauded by millions of
people who are watching the great
fight that is being successfully
vaged by them to throw off the
yoke of thlevlng and speculative
manipulation that has held them
SO long, and has been the means
of enabling the splnners to grow
enormously wealthy at the ex-
pense of the poor farmer.
Those who stood loyal to the
Association and accepted Its ad
vice, as gwen last January, to fix
price of l0c. per pou1d on their
cotton-demand it ard get ibid
go, notwithstanding there were
thousands who decried their eff
forts by saying: 'lmposslble,
foolish, etc. The amount Of
cotton held by loyal ones was suf-
ticient to bring the price TO loc.
before the present crop was ready
for market.
On September Z, the Assocla-
tion advised the farmers to ask lie.
or their cotton as conditions fully
warranted that price. Many fixed
that price and sold for it.
Now, on December l, the fact
that the crop is very short has been
esta blished beyond the shadow of
a doubt, and only small remnant
of that left unsold, also, that the
markets are bare of dry goods with
future prices enormously advanced,
cotton mills loaded down with con
tracts and orders for goods several
months ahead, and only with about
one half enough cotton III sight to
fill them. Will they pay l5c. for
cotton? Why, of course, they
will if you ask it! II you do not
they will take it at sc. as they have
done in the past.
Decide for yourselves-let them
have 1t at its actual value, l5c.,
or let them take it at their price, sc.
1t is yours-do as you please,
but remember that if you sell for
less thaa It's value, l5c., you are
not only iniurlng Yourself, but
every other owner of cotton is be.
ing denied his price while you are
giving yours away, which prevents
the advance as long as they can
get it at less than it's value.
Hundreds of thousands of bales
are being pledged to the Southern
Cotton Association for l5c
enough to force the price to us
value very soon, unless buyers can
continue to get yours that is not
pledged at that price. In nthis event,
the price cannot reach It's value
until yours has been taken out
of the way and at their price
then the loyal ones will again
reap the benefits of their Associa.
tion's hard work in their behalf.

Go South, Young Man.

We take the following extract
from y e address of DR.. J. A. Ber.
cier, of Opelousas, at the lmml-
grafton Conference III New Orleans:
"Years ago, it was. go North,
young man, ere decade bad
passed it was go, East, young
man. and abou. twenty five years
ago it was, "Go West, Young man,
and now, since all the natural ad.
vantages of these three sections
have been exhausted, we hear the
song, at last, of go South, young
man. The South Is unexplored.
We have more 10 offer than either
the North, East or West. We have
now entered the twentieth century,
with all modern Inventions and
improvements to back US. We
have all kinds of soil, which will
yield bountifully of anything you
stick in the ground. We have
beautiful forests of long-leaf pine,
cypress and hard wood of almost
every kind that exists, and thou
sands Of acres that are untouched
by the ak. The South stands pre-
eminent to-day IN the production
of wool, cotton, sugar, rice, pota
toes, vegetables, fruits and beef.
Here belong the manufactures for
these industories. Railroads will
open up opportunities tor these
industries, and the drift OF the
kind of immigration we need will
surely come South. Louisiana has
the advantage over all the South.
ern States, but unless she Is organ
,zed, and strongly SO, and plays
her trumps at the proper time, she
will be euchred out in the end OF
the game; for We must know that
other States are organized, and
will PIT up fight to beat us out Of
the cream of immigration and man
ufacturing industries. We cannot
afford to sit still and depend too
much upon providence. The AL
mighty God has done more for US
than he has for many others, and
we give him thanks, and the exer-
tion of our energies and talents, to
perfect these gifts. We don't
only want immigration from for
eign countries, but also from the
crowded East and Northwest. Car
riage, wagon. buggy and furniture
factories, fruit. vegetable and meat
canning factories. cotton mills and
shoe harness and saddle factories OF
the North, East and West are sup
ported by the South; and it is now
IN order for us TO organize against
this way of doing business. And
the capitalists who are engaged IN
the manufacturing of these COM
modlties will have to go out of
business or come South with their
machinery. While we are classed.
as being the most illiterate State IN
the Union, let US not give them the
opportunity of saying that We pos
sess all the fools in the United
States. Let us manufacture our
own products, and there will be no
trouble about regulating immigra-
tion."
