Cotton has been pressed down
again, this time, we believe the
government report issued by the
agricultural department n a d
much to do with it. Secretary
Cheatham of the cotton assocla-
ton severely criticises Secretary
Wilson, and intimates that he
will call for a Congressional in
vestigation. It is unprecedented
for a November estimate to be
issued by the government and
why this was done Secretary
Wilson has not said, but before
Mr.. Cheatham gets through with
him be. will find he has run up
against a hot proposition. In
the meantime the farmers should
not permit themselves to become
stampeded. They should hold
on to their cotton the harder

In about sixty days the legis-

among the several matters it
will have to consider, will be the
committees repor5 on the bien-
NAL sessions matter. We have
no idea that the committee will
be able to steer the general as.
se:nbly into giving US biennial
sessions, and there will have to
be another submission to a vote

When Congress meets, the
greatest question before it will
be President Roosevelt,s policy
With regard to railroad rate
legislation, and from the can
vases already made, it is be-
lieved, so far as the Senate is
concerned. the President must
rely upon the Democrats to car
ry out his views. It is now set
tied that Senator Foraker, OF
Ohio, and all of the other lead
ing Republicans are bitterly op-
posed to government interior
ence in rate-making, and if left
to his own party the President
would not be able to carry out
this, one of his important prom
ises. In the list of those Demo
cratic Senators counted sure to
stand by President Roosevelt
are both of South Carollna's s
Senators, Senators Tillman and
Latimer have heretofore been
counted with the obstructionlsts,
but in this fight we are glad to
see they will rise above petty
party spite, and vote for the in,
terests OF the country, regard,
less of the source the proposl'
ton emanated. If President
Roosevelt secures the railroad
legislation be advocates it will
be over the determined protests
of many elements in his party,
and over the protests Of all the
large railroad interests in the
United States, and in this very
fight, the shrewd calculating
craftsmanship of the President
will be developed.
It is gratifying to note that
nearly all of the southern repre-
sentatives will sustain the Pres
ident, whether his tour of the
South had anything to do with
this :;change of heart" we dc
not know, but the fact,,that such
men as Tillman who were loud IN
their denunciations of the man
on any and every occasion, and
are now supporting him, indl'
Gates that he has extraordinary
powers of convincing his enc.
mics.

Farm Lands.

The increasing prices Of farm
lands throughout this country IS
a condition that is too natural
and easy to require much expla-
nation, and although there are
those who are disposed to express
but little confidence in the situa-
ton we are not inclined to agree
with them.
Everybody understands that
the present high price Of farm
lands, which price is not yet
really high, has been caused by
the advance in the price Of cot.
ton. When the price of cotton
was low money was scarce, its
purchasing power was great, and
the price of lands was correspond
ingly low:
Now, with the price of cotton
at a satisfactory figure, and mo.
ney more plentiful than it has
ever been, the price of land goes
up as a matter of course. The
cause of the increased price is
nothing more than the ordinary
operation of the laws Of supply
and demand. Most Of the sur
plus money now afoat has been
drawn from the land by people
who know more about land than
about anything else. and who
would naturally prefer land to
any other form of investment.
Under the circumstances, there
fore, there is good reason to as
sumo that there will be some per-
manency about the present situa-
tion-that whether the price of
cotton continues high or not the
price of land Will continue to
hold it's own. Suppose cotton
should go down again, why should
the farmer who has just bought
land want to give it up again :?
If he has made only partial
payment and is unable to meet
the balance he will have to give
up, but not otherwise.
But when it is reasonably GER
tain that we are to have at least
one more good year no matter
what comes, The present cotton
crop is not sufficient to supply
the spindles of the world and
the season is almost bound to
end with a cotton famine. 1t is
possible for the south to raise
is, 100000 bales maybe; but no
such crop is apt to be raised
next year, except with the help
of the best seasons that has
ever been known. And then,
even if it is raised: with the
south in a position of such inde-
pendence as it now occupies, the
price can still be held up to a
fair figure.
Farm lands are undoubtedly
high now as compared with a
few years ago; but we are among
those who believe that they lack
a great deal yet of having at
tained anything like their real
value. Far less productive lands
north and west command much
better prices and compared with
these fifty dollars an acre is low
for such of our lands as are now
selling for thirty dollars per
acre.
We are firmly of the opinion
that it will be several years yet
before the maximum level OF
prices will be reached for agri-
cultural lands in this country,
and after that level is reached it
will be maintained for quite a
while. The probability is that
the people of this country will
never again see land sell for
such low prices as have obtained
during the past ten or fifteen
years.-Yorkville Enquirer.
