This lady is n real parsonage and about
her hinges some of the most amusing
complications ever introduced into
farce company. Her attendant merry
makers comprise some of the clevereSt
comedians and condolences on the
stage. She is devout admirer of
bright. up-to-date songs and captivat-
ing dances, and the play abounds with
them. She is also a stickler for fash

rare. The play was built for laugh

really of serious turn of mind. don't
go. Wait until Mr.. So and So comes

Mr.. Jordan said be wanted to talk
for few minutes about matter
which be bad been greatly criticised
for, but did not care how much be
was criticised unless it came from
the South. The committee of the
assvciation met last year and agreed
on II cents for this crop. The trade
regarded that fsir. About that time
began the movement Of the crop.
The consuming world knows We had
debts to pay aud would have to rush
our cotton to market They said the
minimum of II cents is 0. h., but We
will get it for less. We can take ad
vantage Of that. And as it came fol-
ward By hundreds of thousands OF
bales, the consuming world hammer
ed it, and hammered it, till is went
to 9 cents. Now it is but fair that
We put it at prize that will pay Us
back for what they took from US and

at the prevailing price of cotton
goods every sp'oner could afford to
pay at least II J cents for this years

today should rel) at Is cents it would
not average III cents for the whole

He said his fight was for the whole
South. List the farmers prosper and
the merchants and bankers would
prosper. It's the duty OF every Amer
lcan citizen to protect the price Of
cotton. 1t is national Issue. he
who tries to drag the price Of cotton
down is on enemy to the United
States. We export IS per cent. Of
our crop and if 1t were not for this
the balance of trade would not be in
favor of the United States as it is
He said he hated to have to ask the
farmer to reduce acreage but we
must regulate the quantity. You
farmers are the arbters of your own
fate, you have so days to decide it in.
Don't think that cur reduction last

dience at this point and asked what
be thought of the present prospects
for Is cents for balance of last years
crop.
Mr.. Jordan gave some very inter
esting statistics showing that if the
farmers would continue to hold as
they are. it would have to reach that
point. He said that mills had paper
contracts for April and May and the
| farmer had the cotton, and 7 if he
would keep his backbone and hold to
it, the mills would find themselves in
the predicament of trying to manu-

those two eminent statesmen from
Chicago, Roger c. Sullivan and ex-Mayor

story carries with II another to the effect
that Charles F. Murphy Of Tammany, Mr..
Hearst's chief boomer here, is to use his
influence with Mr.. Hearst to have the Hearst
Independence League local ticket with
drawn in Chicago.
Mr.. Hearst in return for Mr.. Murphy's
