FARMERS ARE NOT FOOLS.
President IIarvie Jordan Calls or
Every Man to Do His Duty.

President Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, has writ
ten a statement in which he shows
that the cotton producers of the
country can absolutely control the
cotton situation il they so desire, and
points out how it can be done. In
this statement Mr.. Jordan says:
1.-The cotton producers of the South
have the whip handle of the situation
and can absolutely control and dictate
prices to the cotton buying and con-
Stunning world during the next twelve
months. The power of the cotton pro-
Queer to quickly become a dominant
factor in the cotton market of the
world has never before been SO pro-
nounced. Notwithstanding a crop of
100000 bales in 1904, carrying with
it a known surplus of 100000 bales
beyond the needs of the consuming
world in 1905, the spot holders of
cotton in the South have by united
concert action checked the tide of
downward markets, and forced prices
back, making q net gain OF from $3.50
to $40 per bale since January 26th. To
mako victory quick and certain all
that is now needed is to increase the
food supply crops in addition to re-
ducing the acreage. These food sup
ply crops have been heavily fortified.
which accounts for the rather heavy
sales of guano up to the present time
Farmers are not fools, even if many
people try to make it appear so. They
know that the only sensible thing to
do at this time is to cut their cotton
acreage materially and they are do
ing it like sensible men all over the
cotton belt. Any other policy would
be suicidal and terrible reflection
upon the intelligence of our people.
Never before have the cotton pro-
iucers had the spectators. exporters
and spinners SO helplessly at their feet.
If they take advantage of their oppor-
tunity the greatest victory of mod
ern times, will have been won. To
succeed every man must do his duty
and promptly answer to the call of
his country. That duty is to cut the
cotton acreage rs per cent and the
use of guano under cotton correspond
ingly and this has been done. If the
acreage is not cut the bankers viii
lose hope and demand the sale of all
cotton on which advances have been
made. Don't depend on your neighbor
to do the cutting but set the pace
yourself. The action OF the cotton
growers will shortly determine wheth-
er they want to be Independent or re-
main the serfs and slaves of foreign
masters.

HIGH PRICES.
Why These Prevail for Early Garden
Vegetables.

The prevailing high prices of gar
den vegetables is not understood by
a great many people, md false impress
sions have been gained because the
wont of accurate information. There
are many, who, on account of VIVA,
they think eXorbitant prices, do not
purchase these vegetables ut all. Most
of these are shipped from Florida.
BY inquiry. it was aScertained yes
terday that the present prices of these
garden vegetables are as follows: Gel
cry 10 to Is cents per stalk; cucum-
bers 60 cents per dozen; snaps" 10
cents per quart, two quarts for rs
cents; garden peas, the same as snaps;
Irish potatoes the same as snaps; Flor
ida lettuce, 5 cents to rs cents per
head; Florida strawberries, 25 cents
per quart; cabbage, cents and 10
cents per head.
Peaches will be on the local market
within two weeks at IS cents per bas-
ket
Within three weeks North Carolina
Strawberries will be retailing for 5
cents per quart, and other vegetables
will have as great a fall when home
produce gets on the market.
1t is not generally taken into con-
sideration that the expense of carriage
of these vegetables is immense and
that they are retailed with little profit.
The local dealers have little to do with
fixing the prices, and their profits. il
is said are perfectly legitimate, and
in many instances because OF loss by
burning" that is, whitening and dy-
ing. there is absolutely no profit.
TO eastern points, from Sanford,
Fla, where most Of the foreign Vege-
tables on the early local market are
obtained the icing rates are 20 cents
per crate of celery, ana there are 200
crates to the car, making only the
icing rate $40, in addition to the
freight charges

up the case, the men being charged
with completely in the Morrison lynch
ing.
The arrestes were made in the
hotel and the men are Kept IN Gus
tody there. They desired to apply to
Judge Gage for bail Immediately, but
the solicitor declined to waive the four
DAYS notice which the defendant in
such cases is required TO give, and inc
prisoners were taken to Lancaster by
Deputy Sheriff Carroll.
The men had no notice of the in
tended arrest, and had gone to CheS-
ter on personal business when the
warrants were served. The preliminary
hearing will be held before a magis-
trate in Lancaster. S. c., this, Friday
morning. A dispatch says there is
great confidence among the people or
KershaW that the charges Will
amount to nothing and that the prls-
oners will soon be at liberty, although
it is intmated in some quarters that
one of the number has turned state 8
evidence. 1t is said that to prevent
any serious trouble a company of mil
tia will be called out during the
hearing.
John II. Morrison was lynched on
the night of October End, 1904, in
Lancaster county near KerShaW
county line, four hours after he had
killed Will Floyd. another white man.
FLOYD was Morrison's fourth victim.
Governor Haywood used every pos
sible means to prevent Morrison from
being lynched, sending the Sheriff and
deputies from Lancaster to KershaW
on a special train, and another special
from Camden bearing a company IF
State militia, was ordered to the scene
but to no avail. Just as his train rolled
into the town, the mob, which had
gathered about the guard house. took
the prisoner therefrom and dispatched
him to the woods. where he was
strung up with buggy traces and shot
several times.
The murdered man was the son of
Robert S. Floyd, a substantial citizen
living near Kershaw. He was married
and a farmer and was said to be an
exceptionally fine young man, highly
thought of.
So great was the indignation over
the murder of Floyd that no lot in
Kershaw could be bought to bury Nor
rison and his body was inferred in the
pauper's plot

Contracts for Road to Parallel N. & w.

The Wall Street Journal says: THE con-
tract for building the first 10O-mile stretch
of the Tidewater railroad which is to par
allel the Norfolk and Western is likely to
be awarded in the very near future. Con-
siderable activity Is being displayed in
clearing titles to right Of way and arrang-
ing all details preliminary to the actual
commencement of active construction work.
The Tidewater railroad is designed to par
allel the Norfolk and Western from the
West Virginia coal fields to tidewater. The
new road will have its seaboard terminal
at Roanoke and 1t is this section, construc
ton of which will be easy that is to be
built first. No surveys, apparently, are be-
ing made in the mountain section and there
is considerable doubt to whether there Is
any longer a real purpose to push on to
the coal fields. The part now In hand
meets with no engineering difficulties and
the cost per mile will be very light.
