Secretary cheatham of Southern Cot ton Growers Association Writes
 of Success.

The cotton growers of the south, ,. through and with the assistance ol their organization, the Southern Cot ron associat on, are slowly but sure ly winning the greatest eommefe1ai hattie ever known to the world. lhes #ara being applauded by millions ol @people who are watching the great 4rfght that is being successfully wasea < hv= them to throw off the yoke oi thiey.no and speculative manlpula- agtion that has held them so long, ana 4has been the means of enabling the eninners 10 e4ow enormously wealthy 1at the expense of the poor farmer. 0 Those who stood loyal to the asso- sciation and accepted it's advice, as Aleiven last January, to fix a pflce ol s@1o cents per pound on their cotton ssaenaand it and get it-did so, notWlth- ine there were thousands who deefi sed their efforts by saying: slmpossl- Bsh1e foolish. etc" The amount of cot ton held by the loyal ones was suf1l= cient to bring the price to lo cents x ghefore the present crop was ready for market.
 On September :, the association Advised the farmers to ask II cents ..for their cotton as conditions fully Warranted that price. Many fixed that price and sold for it.
 Now, on December 1, the fact that \ the crop is very short has been estab- lished beyond the shadow of doubt
 and only a small remnant of that left unsold, also, that the markets are g bare of dry goods with future prices
 enormously advanced, cotton mills loaded down with contracts and or lders for goods several months ahead, and only with about one-half enough
 cotton in sight to fill them. Will they
 pay 15 cents for cotton? Why, of
 course, they will if you ask it! If you <. do not they will take it at 5 cents as they have done in the past.
 Decide for yoursefves-let them Shave it at it's actual value, 15 cents, #Qr let them take it their price, 5
 cents-it is yours-do as you please, ' but remember that if you sell for less
 than it's value, 15 cents you are not x only injuring yourself, but every oth
 CT owner of cotton is being denied
 his price wh le you are giving yours X away, which prevents the advance sas long as they can get it at less than 9s It's value.
 sss Hundreds of thousands of bales are
 being pledged to the Southern Cot a ton association for l5 cents, enough to force the price to it's yalue very ks ssoon, unless buyers can continue to
 get yours that is not pledged at their ssnrice, in this event, the price can
 1At reach its value until yours has sBsen taken out of the way and at Efheir price-then the loyal ones will sagan reap the benefits of their asso. Hcption's hard work in their behalf

SATURDAY, February 4, 1905

Hon. Claude A. Swanson, candidate
for Governor of Virginia, has challen-
ged his opponent, Lieut-Gov. Joseph +
willard, to series of joint debates fol-
the en- lightenment of the people OF the
State as to their respective attitudes on
the Employers Liability bill and other
issues of interest to them. Mr.. Swan
son believes that this old-fashioned
Democratic way of discussing matters
is better than a controversy III the
newspapers and rightly concludes thai
the voters after hearing them can reach
a more satisfactory solution Of what is
right and just to each. The challenge
of course, will be accepted by Mr.
Willard and it may be, now that cleo
ton to office by machine methods is
thing of the past under the primary
plan, that Senator Martin and Cover
nor Montague, candidates for the Sen
ate, and the aspirants for the other
offices in the State will be willing tC
fall into line and seek the support OF
the voters in the same good, old
fashioned Democratic way. The peo'
pie, at least, have the right to heal
from them in this way and in no Other
can arrive at q conclusion as well how
to cast their votes.

The inauguration ofPresident Roose-
welt, it is predicted by the railroad Of
ncials, will be attended by "unprece-
denied crowds" from the South, and
the unusually heavy tournout from
that section expected on the occasion
in bis honor will be due to the fact, 1t
is stated, that the Southern people
believe that he is sincere in his desire
to make decent President Of all the
people. II the views Of the Washing
ton correspondent of the News-Leader,
can be accepted as correct, there are
signs not only of a mutual change OF
feeling on the part Of the South and
the President towards each other but
the President will in the end hold a
higher place in the estimation of Demo-
Gratis than of Republicans-and that
conclusion seems to be warranted by
the fact, that the Democrats are solidly
with the President in his demands for
tariff revision and for rate supervision,
while the Republicans are lining up
against his programme. The hostile
feeling against him in the South,
doubtless, is not what it has been and
many Virginians are reported as hav-
ing arrived at the conclusion that,
after all, Roosevelt may not be such q
bad fellow. They say, with Mr.. Bryan,
that in many things he is advocating
truly Democratic doctrines and that as
long as he continues to do SO they will
support him in it.

Jamestown to Be a Naval Show.

An official OF the jamestown Ex'
position company, who is In intimate
touch with exactly what Is going on
in Washington, informed an old friend
here Sunday that the exposition APP
oropriation is entirely "out OF the
Woodland that following the favora'
ole report of the committee in charge
congress will vote the money In am
ole time for the purposes OF the great
celebration two years from now.
The word exposition" in the title
will prove a misnomer, for 1t can bt
stated. on the best OF authority that
the celebration will certainly take
the form of great naval and mill
tary display, with all other features
subordinated.
1t is in contemplation to invite the
mowers of the world to send thell
M st imposing naval squadrons anc
fleets to appear in Hampton Roads
with the splendid fighting craft o.
America. 1t is entirely in the range
of probability that little Japan, am
bilious and progressive as she Is, vii
send over some of the naval englne'
of war that have converted Russia I
navy into a submarine collection. l
she does, this feature Of the exposi'
ton alone will draw hundreds o
thousands of visitors. =,
Invitations to the crowned head'
and other rulers Of the world will bt
extended, and with more than a ran
prospect that some Of them will o.
accepted. The naval display viii
furnish the incentive for these great
mes to attend. 1t will be an oppor

on the way conditions will be still
worse. In the shipping districe yes

Everyone in this enlightened age

Everyone in this enlightened age
with ordinary common sense knows
the advantages of good roads and that
we must have them if we would keep
step with the progress of the age.
Everyone who has given the matter
a moments consideration must know
that good roads enhance the value OF
our lands, saves us money "in the wear
and tear" en- vehicles used on the
roads, helps in a measure to solve the
labor question, opens up our surplus
lands to outsiders and gives US COM
forts and advantages in many other
ways Of almost inestimable value TO us.
Every citizen interested in the welfare
of the State and the happiness of its
people must know that we not only
need good roads and must have them
but should be willing to take the neces-
sary steps and to pay the cost required
to procure them. Everyone, therefore,
who favors progress and the better
ment of their condition, will heartily
endorse the resolutions adopted in the
Good Roads meeting held in the city
of Danville on Tuesday looking to that
end. AS the News-Leader says:
1.-THE resolution favoring General
and State aid for the construction Of
permanent good roads is entirely right
So is that indicating the use ofjailbirds
and penitentiary convicts for road
building. Some Of the details sugges
ted are premature, but these are mat
tiers to be debated and figured on in the
future The general principle Of State
and Federal aid and the use of convict:
is what we are after, and on that the
people should be able to unite. /
voters will use proper care, we car
elect governor, house Of delegates ant
senate pledged to these principles; ant
If we do that, we should be in position
to make definite and decisive star
by the beginning Of next summer"
