To the Farmer Boy. /

Hoi now is the time for the farmer boys
To hold tn their heeoy crop;
It's long, long road that has no turn.
AndDa mighty bad box that has no top.
Why can't we stand by the cotton fields
AS we stood by Southern guns?
No true man leaves the battle field!
The traitor only, turns aud runs.
We're trained to stick by this good time,
To stick through blood and tears;
We've stuck to hard work all our lives
And to poverty forty years.
We've brought the price to living mark,
From six TO twelve is a leap;
Wen hold It'll it's fifteen cents pound |!
And then it will be too cheap.

about through speculative influences.
1t is now an established fact that the
present crop will not exceed 10000
600 bales, of 500 pounds weight.
There will no, be ent ugh cotton to
meet the enormous demands for con.
sumption.
These are facts which have not
and cannot be denied except by mis-
representation and Juggling of fig
ures for speculative purposes. Those
farmers who reoklessly rushed their
cotton on the market and sacrificed
it at % tc 10 cents, ought not to
complain if their neighbors are still
holding portion of theirs for higher
prices. If the spinners bought the
bulk of this crop at from o. to oN1O4
cents per pound, when they could as
easily have paid 12 cents, they should
not now complain if the small bal
ance of the unsold portion is held at
Is cents, in order to average the
price as near IL cents as possible.
The price of cotton has advanced
$3.50 a bale since the New Orleans
convention; and is daily advancing,
on its merits, and in the face of the
strongest combination to hold down
prices that ever existed. Wall street
and Liverpool have lost their power
of fixing the prices of the great
American staple. The Southern
spot holder is now the dominat fac
tor in the cotton trade of the world.
His cause is righteous one, and
will receive the endorsement and
support of every loyal Southerner,
who believes in fair play in the great
fight which is now waging. The
South can and will win.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you haze rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred doll. for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

STAND BY THE PRICE.

Stand firm for fifteen cents. Sell
your cotton at that price, and do
not undertake to force the market
still higher. Our position is based
upon equity and fairness, and nc
effort should be made to go beyond
that. Let us be fair with the spin
ners; and in making sales let it be
distinctly understood that the buyer
will ship the cotton direct to the
manufacturers, and that the cotton
is not being bought for the purpose
of tenders on speculative contracts
in the cotton exchanges of the coun-
try. Notify your cotton factors that
this rule must be strictly adhered to.
Let the spectators who have been
clearing" the market and who are
short on their contracts, get out of
their perilous positions the best way
they can. We must confine our
dealings with the legitimate cause of
consumption, and protect the spin
ners and our own interests from abb
normally high or low prices brought

Disposition of Estate of Samuel S. Brown, PSburg
Magnate, Reveals Scandal.

at La SuppIaned Wife or cad in the Old
Man Will Was Made He

Better an old mans darling than
a young mans slave" runs the old
song.
Probably Martha e. Lewis will con-
cur, but Mrs. Grace McGoodwin
Brown, daughter-in-law of the late
Samuel S. Brown, Smoky City mag
nate and multi-millionaire, can hard
ly be expected to.
Idolized and petted by her father
in-law for Is years, taught to con-
slider herself his heiress, and intro
duced everywhere as his daughter, she
finds herself left a paltry $4,000,
while her supplanter, Martha E.
Lewis, has been given a sum exceed
ing S250,000.
And a contest in the courts which
will enrich lawyers and furnish sensa-
tions to satisfy the most scandal
hungry dame is promised.
For Mrs. Brown and all the rela-
tiyes of the dead millionaire assert
that his latest will, executed on his
death bed, was made under undue
influence and is unjust and unfair.
Worth Over $50, 100000.
Samuel S. Brown died last Decem-
Der. He left an estate scattered all
the way between Pittsburg, New York
and New Orleans which is conseTva-
lively estimated at $2O,0OO,0OO. He
also left a will which is the bone of
contention.
Mrs. Brown, young widow of the
dead magnates only son, had been
told that she was to be his bene-
ficiary. A goodly portion of the
estate was to have been hers. Yet,
when the will was read, she found
herself cut off with a paltry batch of
brewery bonds, and these to go should
she remarry.
But Miss Lewis, bitter enemy of the
millionaire's daughter-in-law, bene-
flied to the extent of a quarter of a
million and more. She had already
supplanted the beautiful Kentucky
belle as the head of the old mans
household before his death. That was
the last straw; then came the open
breach.
1t is strange story-how these two
young women came into the life of
the millionaire. There were a son
and a daughter whom the old man
