An Incident in Court.

For awhile this afternoon there was warm time in the session of the City Court and as a consequence the jury was dismissed and court adjourned at 5 o'clock The cause of the trouble was on account of a witness, C. D. Walker. white planter from the southside, who was a witness in a blind tiger case against S. B. Simons. During the trial of the case Solicitor Thompson asked Walker if he at any titme had bought whiskey from Simmons. Walker an swered that he did not know, but said that he had given an order to a negro one day while he was loading a car Of cotton at Tyler and that the negro re- turned with whiskey, but he could not remember from whom the negro se- cured it. Solicitor Thompson then arose and asked Judge Mabry to fine Walker for contempt of court, stating that at the last session of the grand jury Walker had appeared before that body and stated that he had bought whlskey from the blind tiger that was supposed to be run by Simmons. Then for a while the session grew very warm and finally Judge Mabry said that he would take the matter of Walker re- fusing to answer the question under consideration and adjourned the court for the day.

Club GOea to Eufnuln.

The Selma Baseball Association at a meeting held on Monday night de- cided as the club was not making any money to dispose of 1t to Eufaula and hereafter the Selma Indians will be known as the Eufaula club. The club has been losing money ever since the season opened and the men who had charge of it did not fell disposed to lose any more money so they deemed 1t the wisest policy to dispose of the club and as Eufaula was anxious to secure 1t the club will finish out the season in that city.
 One of the main reasons the board of directors of the club had for disposing Of 1t was on account of the scarcity of independent clubs with which they could secure games. During the past three weeks repeated efforts on the .part of the management of the club failed to secure games, and for this reason combined with the loss of money, and knowing that the club could not make money playing away from Selma all of the time, it was thought hest to get rid of it.

It is generally con-

from holding? It is generally con-
ceded that the needy ones. those who
actually in such financial straits that
cash is an absolute necessity, have,
for the most part, already disposed Of
their cotton. With concerted ac
ton on the part of all the farmers
the few of that class who remain
could easily be aided along with that
of the more prosperous. Those
who had or have to sell have for the
most part sold already. The cotton
this year is in exceptionally fine con-
dition for storing, and there are few
crops made in any land the storage
of which necessitates a lesser expen-
diture of cash than that of cotton.
During the times of overproductlon
of corn in Kansas and the other
western states the farmers have
taken this method, have even stored
for two or three years, sometimes,
and in the end have won The corn
planters, however, run ten times the
risk in storage that the storers Of
cotton would run, for the grain is
subject to damage, while cotton
stored is safe.
We believe that if the southern
farmers hold, and plant less, they
will win.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 10.
Hold and Plant Less.

over I2,ooo, 900 bales of cotton have
been raised during the last year. The
100000 bale: estimate may or may
not be little overdrawn, but that
there are over 12,ooo, 900 bales seems
now to be an established fact.
Whether or not too much cotton has
been raised is another question.
MANY believe it is the professional
bears who have made the trouble,
and that the present situation is an
abnormal one, brought on more by
the havoc of spectators and market
soueezers than by any actual over
production OF the staple. Be the
cause what it may, it has brought
obout condition which the southern
farmers must unite against and face
and solve. Six cent cotton is dlsas-
trous now, and six or seven cent cot
ton after this years crop is made Will
ruin and bankrupt the farmers OF the
south. Various methods and plans
have been advised, some practicable,
some eminently impracticable, some
desperate; but we are of those who
believe that the situation, though
grave. can be met and overcome If
the cotton planters pull together IN
the proper direction. Certain it is
that the world needs and must have
a certain amount of cotton. The
world looks to the southern states
for an exceedingly large proportion
of this cotton, and, furthermore, the
world can afford to pay I2 cents tor
the cotton. We believe that but one
thing is necessary to bring the price
of cotton back again to approximate
iy the actual value of the staple
that one thing necessary, according
to our view, is a reduction of the
acreage this year, not spasmodlc
reduction here and there while neigh
bors are surreptitiously planting two
extra acres of cotton for every acre
you plant in corn, but widespread,
general and concerted action into
which every farmer will join with
head and hand A reduction in the
acreage will bring the price Of cot
ton back to it's normal plane, and we
believe that those who have mean
while held their 1904 crop will benefit
largely by the increase in price.
Let the farmer, then, do two
things. Let him reduce the cotton
acreage, and let him hold his 1904
crop for the: better prices sure to
come. AS to:the first Of these sug-
gestions, recorded facts prove it to
be true that prices advance as crops
drop. The crop Of 1893, 11,274,34o
bales, brought, s8oeoo,8oo less than
the crop of 1899 which was 1,838,424
bales less.
Then we had three successive
crops that averaged little over TO-
$4,000 bales, and the price steadily
advanced until 1908 when the crop
dropped to 1o,oo1,574 bales and sold
for s613,7o7,33o- bringing within 81
42o133 as much money as the two
big crops of 81 and 'o8-aggregating
22,474S34 bales.
These figures are not estimates.
They are matters of history, hard
facts. and they, should be conclusive
Now as to the second suggestion,
the holding Of the 1904 crop. The

as l was returning from town with
some whisky for my. father. They
quarreled during the night and in the
morning l accused them of taking
some of fathers whisky. NEEDLES
abused me and was prevented from
striking me by McClaren. Pulling q
gun, NEEDLES said: You have no right
to live, anyway and fired, killing Nc
Claren instantly. NEEDLES then fixed
