Time To Pray.

"A preacher at the conclusion OF
one of his sermons said: "Let all
in the house who are paying their
debts stand up Instantly every
man, woman and child, with one
exception, rose to their feet. The
preacher seated them and said !:
"Now every man not paying his
debt. stand up" The exception
noted, a care worn. hungry-lookiny
individual, clothed in his last sum-
mer's suit, slowly assumed a per-
pendicular position.
Chow is it my friend asked
the minister, "that YOU are the
only man not to meet his obliga-
tions?'. =.

meekly answered, ''and the bleth-
rem here who stood up are my sub
scrihers, and

The cotton convention

The cotton convention at
New Orleans was, doubtless, a
god thing. But a better thing
would be for every cotton producer
to be a convention unto himself
and exercise common sense IN the
management of his affairs. If all
Of them could see That ten bales OF
cotton at five cents pound would
bring only two hundred and fifty
dollars while SIX bales at ten cents
would bring three hundred dollars
the situation would adjust Itself
without any other kind Of conven-
ton.

Confederate Monument

At the meeting OF daughters OF
the Confederacy and Confederate
Veterans, held at the Court House
on the 10Th inst, committees rep
resenting each Of these organlza-
tons were appointed to select and
purchase monument to be erected
in tins city, to the memory of the
Confederate dead. The object OF
this monument is TO testify to the
love and veneratlon, in which the
memory of the holy cause in which
they fell, is held by the survivors
of the great struggle t h roug h
which they passed, as comrades Of
the fallen heroes who sleep the
sleep that knows no waking. This
monument is to be erected in COM
memoration of no single event nor
in honor of any favorite chleftain.
1t is to be raised IN honor of the
Confederate soldier who did his du-
ty and is to stand as a testimonial
of the undying allegiance which his
kindred of the present generation
hold for the sacred principles of
the glorious cause in which be
fought and bled and died. 1t is to
stand as tribute from the CON-
rades and daughters and sons of the
bravest and best soldiers that the
world ever. saw to the valor and
h onor and m a n h God OF
all those who gave their blood and
lives in defense of canse in which
no craven ever drew a blade or
barred his breast. 1t is to stand as
an ever present emblem of that
cause, upon which the youth of the
country can look and draw lessons
Of patriotism and receive great
truths, which history will fail to
teach For these aims and ends
it will be erected as the voluntary
contribution of a proud people,
whose hearts will swell with holy
emotions as they inscribe their
names upon the honor roll which
is to be deposited beneath its mar
BILE foundations to rest in security
from the ravages Of tempests and
time.
These committees met at the
Court House on the Goth, inst. and
entered into a contract with Mr.
John a. Stinson, of Columbus,
Miss, for a marble monument
which is to cost three thousand dol.
lars and is to be erected by the 18th
of August next. The monument
is to be of best pure white Georgia
marble, thirty six feet, six inches
high, surmounted by a figure Of 6
Confederate sold 'er, seven feet
three inches high. 1t will be the
most imposing shaft yet erected in
the state and will reflect the intel.
ligence and character of the PEG.
pie of the county. ~
1t is intended that every family
in the county that is joined to thu
Confederate cause through the con
tribution of soldier or a sympa
thizer, shall have the privilege OF
contributing to the erection of this
monument. Already over thous
and dollars has been pledged to it
This sum comes from few Jealous
citizens. There has been no gen
eral subscription list circulated
The committees will meet AGAR
soon and decide upon plan of &C
ton. There will be no difficulty
in procuring the necessary funds
The county is rich aud its people
are ali imbued with hope, courage
and the. spirit of progress
1t will be a source OF pride t.

erected and while it will stand as 1
monument to the Confederate deat
it will also stand as a monumen

of the acreage of cotton, and that
the reduction Of acreage can be Sc
cured by thorough organization Of
the farmers and cooperation Of
merchants, bankers, and profess
ional men, We, therefore, urge
the farmers to organize into non-
political farmers clubs, and reduce
the acreage of the cotton to be
planted during the year 1905 Is
per cent Of the amount planted in
1904. To this end we urge the cir.
culation Of agreements m G
farmers to cut their acreage to
three fouruhs of the acreage planted
last year, and that all people en-
gagged in raising cotton be induced
by all honorable means to sign and
live up to this agreement. We ap-
peal to all bankers, merchants.
manufacturers a n d professional
men to assist by their counsel, in
fluence and moral support in this
effort to relieve the farmer OF the
South from threatened ruin.
We do not believe that those who
are able to hold their cotton should
sell for less than the cost OF pro-
duction, but we leave each man
to be his own judge Of what he
shall do with cotton on hand.
The precinct committeeman and
and all other producers of cotton
are requested to meet at the Court
house on Saturday, February 4th,
1905, at which time they will be
instructed as to what will be ex-
