THE NATIONALITY.

As stated in yesterdays Advertiser would probably be the case. after it was learned that Mayor Carr would not offer for another term, there are some announcements for Mayor and more to follow. Our news columns make note of the fact that Alderman Jackson and Alderman Sullivan de- clared on yesterday that they were in the race. It is more than probable that Alderman Teague and Alderman Forbes win also enter the lists. And there are others.
 There Is an old adage, "the more the merrief," but The Advertiser begs that eItigsns and voters be slow in making c0mmittals. Montgomery has great in- teFests at stake and the man best fitted by temperament and qualification to meet the issues should be sought after. There is no call to vote for any man in this emergency because of his genial, companfonable qualities. good looks, or any other merely personal character istics.
 Have you ever thought of Montgom- ery's financial condition and the amount that Is required to meet annual ex- penses? The utmost economy will have to be praeticed to carry on the neces- saPy improvements that follow annexa- ton of outlying territory and that are the natural result of a growing, pro- gressive community.
 Don't be in too great a hurry about committing yourselves. The primary will not come off for at least sixty days. That will give you ample time to consider and review the whole sit- nation.

NEED OF THE HOUR.
President of Mississippi Bankers
 Breaches Practical Economy.

President of Mississippi Bankers
 Preaches Practical Economy. Hattiesburg, Miss, Dispatch,
 F. W. Foote, cashier of the Bank of Comerce of Hattiesburg, and president of the Mississippi State Bankers As- sociation. believes that the immediate need of the hour is to convince North ern business men that the losses sus- tained by the South in the slump in cotton values have not been disastrous to the credit of Southern business men. and will not seriously affect the finances of this section. Of late MT. Foote and other bankers of Mississippi have been in receipt of many letters of inquiry from correspondents in other parts of the country as to the credit and financial stability of business men In this State. Outside people have got ten the idea that the losses in cotton have knocked the bottom out of the resources and credit of the Southern people and MT. Foote would make 1t plain that this Is A mistake entirely. He says:
 The losses of our business men have not been heavy, when you con- slider their capital and resources whether you view the subject in a gen. eral way or consider only particular in- dividuals. You will hear of business men who have lost three or four or five thousand dollars on cotton, but up- on investigation you will find that the people who have lost that much are worth all the way from $20.o0o to $2oo.- 900, and the loss represents a very small amount to them.
 Then, again. consider that the trade of the South amounts to a billion dol lars annually, and the loss in cotton amounts to not more than $115,000,0OO, and you get an idea of how insignifi- cant is the loss as an economic propo- sition.
 'The>South will not suffer much from this experience. One year will make up for all the loss, and the farmers are already practicingth necessary econ omy. They are buying fewer farm utensils, fewer blows and wagons. Mule dealers can scarcely find market for their animals where formerly theI could not supply the demand. The fer tifizer manufacturers are all wearing long faces because the farmers are no patronizing. them. The farmers have contracted their expenditures, By pur- chasing 10 per cent. less than in pros porous seasons all the losses on the i904-05 cotton crop will be recouped and Southern farmers and business mer will be sailing along as smoothly al though the tempest of this season hat never been felt"
