STRONGER FINANCIALLY.

SAnoNdER FINANCIALLY,
l believe the cotton planters are in
q stronger financial condition than
ever before, and 1 have confidence in
their purpose to curtail the crop. From
what l can learn, they do cot intend
TO sell except at approximately 10
cents. or course, some may be forced
TO do 80, but believe they are few.
The merchants and bankers should
aid them and discourage sales at the
present prices, while at the same time
tney should urge reduction OF the
new crop.
Your plan to reduce the acreage is
mcst Intelligent, and you are i'm.
mensely aided by the fact that the
surplus cotton is still In the hands of
the planters. Those who are selling
Gotten futures rely upon the planters
70 give up their cotton. at present
prices and are also relying upon an-
other year of overproduction. They
are basing their opinions upon what
has happened in years past, when con.
ditionss vastly differed from those OF
the present time. Then che surplus
cotton had passcd from the planters
now they hold the surplus and are
able to, keep 1t. II the crop is reduc
ed thislyear SO that price OF 10 cents
is restored, your organization will de-
velnp strength for future years to
help carry a surplus crop. You will
be able to help perfect system Of low
insurance and cheap interest, and in
many iother ways contribute toward
establishing business methods for
marketing cotton.
Cooperation is necessary IL stable
price is to be given to our great crop.
The accomplishment Of such result
will benefit all OF our citizens and from
all (who dwell in the cotton growing
Stateslyour association should receive
encouragement and support.
Very s'"rerely,
H. smith.

there was freight on tho siding at

Wanted Them to Spread

a bill has been introduced In con.
gress proving severe penalty for any
one using the mails for spreading the
Doll Weevil pest. The bill fixes the
penalty at SO, 600 or five years in the
penitentiary. The bill was brought
forth by rather peculiar circumstanc.
es. LIZ seems that some wild Texan
wrote to New York cotton firm sug.
gesting that the best way to reduce
the cotton supply is to distribute the
Doll Weevil throughout the South.
Inis firm sent the letter to the com.
mittee on agriculture, and, hence, the
introduction OF the bill.

Might Spoil The Effect.

Whe Marshal MacMahOn was preSi-
dent of the French republic an Incl
dent occurred which illustrates the
Frenchmans love of what is dramatic.
A French soldier sat on the summit
of a hill overlooking garrison town.
His horse was picketed close by. The
man was smoking lcisurely, and from
time to time he glanced from the espla-
made to an official envelope he held in
his hand
A comrade passed by and said;
what are you doing here?"
81 am bearing the presidents pardon
for our friend Flichmann, who is to be
shot this morning." replied the smoker
calmly without changing his comfort
able attitude.
"Well then, you should hurry along
with your pardon" admOnished his
comrade.
"Oh, no. exclaimed the other in
some Indignation. ''See, there is hard
ly a soul yet on the esplanade, and the
firing platoon has not even been form
ed. You surely would not have me rob
my appearance of all dramatic effect,

Taking Chances.

A small boy had been punished and
in consequence was feeling at enmity
with all the world, but with his father
in particular. When he came to say
his prayers at night he gabbled through
them at high rate of speed, and while
asking for the customary blessing on
all the other members of the family,
including the cat, he left out his of
Tending parent.
His mother understood, but thought
it best to appeal to his better SELF

about papa? You forget, dear"
Didn't. Don't want papa blessed"
"Why, Harold, when you love him
SO! Just think, dear. Papa has gone
downtown now, and how would you
feel if he got lost or hurt because you
hadn't prayed for him."
This rather worked on the boys
mind. and slowly he began to Chamber

Tie SansonS have Il place in French
history, not only because they contin-

but because two Of their number, Il
father and son. held office during the
evil days of the reign of terror when
they were kept so busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last of the San
son dynasty was dismissed from his
post in the reign of Louis Philippe, in
1917, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited comforta
Rle fortune from his father, the exc
utiOner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by NOR

the procuratOr general for the eXecu-

apparatus was not forthcoming The
