SOUTHERN COT
TON ASSOCIATION
A Great Meeting Held in New
Orleans>>>Price Placed
at IS Cents.

The Convention Of the Southern
Cotton Association which convened in
New Orleans last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday was great and rep
resentative body. and gave renewed
and convincing evidence Of the de.
term lation of the cotton growers of
the south and allied interests to stand
together for their mutual protection.
The Cotton Association, for which
the speculators so confidently pre-
dicted speedy disintegration when it
was organized year ago, seems now
stronger than ever before. In the
short twelve months of it's existence
it has worked wonders for the South
ern cotton planter and showed him
Enthusiastically the benefits to be
derived from a strictly business,
nom political organization. To sum.
Marie briefly its achievements, the
Association has caused reduction Of
ths cotton acreage Of from 10 to %
Fer cent, in different portions Of the
belt. The use of commercial
fertilizers has also been appreciably
diminished, and farmers are learning
to depend more upon intensification
and diversification Of crops for the
enrichment Of soils. 1t has raised the
price Of the staple from cents to IL,
thus placing the production of cotton
upon profitable basis for the pro-
ducer. 1t discovered that the De.
partnent Of Agriculture was being
used by New York speculators for
their own nefarious purposes; that the
Bureau reports of the Government
were nothing more or less than con-
cocted schemes of the New York
bears; and such pressure was brought
to bear upon the Department that its
chief statistician was forced to resign
and leave the country in disgrace.
During last weeks meeting, the
achievements Of the past were re-
viewed by able speakers and new plans
discussed and mapped oat FOR the
present year. Owners of spot cotton
are advised to hold what is left of the
1905 crop until the price reaches Is
cents, as it is believed the shortness
of the crop justifies these figures. A
reduction of % per cent on the acreage
and fertilizers used in 1904 is advised,
and diversification of crops which
will make the farmer better able to
hold his cotton off of the market when
the price is not satisfactory.
After the Convention adjourned,
the board of directors held their
annual business meeting with almost
full board sitting. The proceed
ings were marked by the utmost har-
mony.
Harvie Jorden was reelected presi-
dent and Richard Cheatham was re-
elected secretary. f. Fl. Hyatt, of
Columbus, S. O., was elected treas
urer, and George T. Jester, of Cor
sicana, Texas, was chosen vice presi-
dent in place of Mr. Peters, of Texas
The salary of the president was
fixed at $1,000 q year. Secretary
Cheatham's salary was raised from
So 500 to $3, 600 year. The salary
of the treasurer was fixed at $500 a
year and the vice. president is to serve
without salary. The salary of the
general financial agent and organizer,
F. D. Smith, who was duly elected
according to the suggestions Of the
mass meeting, was fixed at 5000 q
year.

~ .-IasE" AND "THAMEs."
o-ls:n Of the saying About setting

Origin of the Saying About Setting
the River ON Fire.
Some mes when q person wants to
ant sort Of way about a dull boy he
will say, THAT boy will never set the
river on fire." Now, that is all very
true, for even the smartest man in the
world could never set a stream of wa
ter on fire, and SO perhaps many Of
you who have heard this expression
have wondered what is meant by set
ting the river on fire.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millers had machinery for
sitting -four, each family was obliged
to sift its own -four. For doing this
1t was necessary to use a sieve, called
tense, which was so fixed that it
could be turned round and round in
the top Of barrel. If it was turned
too fast therfriction would sometimes
cause 1t to catch fire, and as it was
only the smart, Woodworking boys who
could make it go SO fast the people
got into the way of pointing out lazy
boy by saying that he would never set
the tense on fire. After awhile these
sieves went out Of use, but as there
were still plenty of stupid boys in the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the tense on fire.
Now, the name of the river Thames
is pronounced exactly like the word
tense, and SO after many years those
persons who had never seen or heard
of the old fashioned sieve thought that
"setting the tense on fire" meant set.
ting the river Thames on fire. This
expression became very popular and
travelled far and wide until the people
living near other streams did not see
why 1t was any harder for slothful
boy to set the Thames on fire than any
other river, and so the name Of the
river was dropped, and everybody after
that simply said 1.-THE river" meaning
the river Of his particular city or town
and that is how it is that people today
talk of setting the river on fire.

REUSED THE AUDIENCE.
A Mining Camp Melodrama With an
Unexpected Climax.

Unexpected Climax.
Joseph Jefferson used to say that his
career came very near being nipped in
the bud in a small western town. He
at that time was member Of n small
pioneer company which progressed by
means Of three "bull teams" from one
mining camp to another. They were
always heartily received by the min
ers and cowboys, who readily paid the
IS in gold required to witness their
performance. Mr.. Jefferson was the
traditional melodramatic villain and in
the third act was supposed to kidnap

never before seen any kind Of theatric-

At the crack of the mothers revolver,
however, the spell was rudely broken

The president has sent to
congress a special message call
ing attention to some facts
about the Standard Oil Compa-
ny drawn from Mr.. Garield's
report. Briefly the message
points out no more than we
have all known for along time;
that the Standard Co., made
Legitimate profits through rail-
road rebates and crushing out
small competitors. But as this
is the first official recognition
Of the fact tits highly import
ant. Prosecutions are to fol-
low we are told, but of course
this means only the imposition
Of comparatively small fines.
On the other hand the Stand
ard is defiant and has issued a
counter blast from it's main Of
fee that reads like a royal ulti-
matum. 1t is whispered that
the Standard would not hest
tate to bring about a great pan
ic to secure immunity, and
there is little doubt that it is
able to do so if it wishes. But
if such a course could be traced
to the company the final effect
would no doubt be such that
we hesitate even to imagine it.

perimenter, with no past at his back.
This is the secret Of finding every day
new and delightful. To be bound down
by what transpired yesterday, to as
sumo that things must certainly be SO
because they have always been so, is
to limit life to narrow confines. The
joy Of existence is to tackle every day
as a fresh problem. Who knows what
It may bring forth? Nothing prevents
US from living It in an entirely new

From the reports that have
been received up to date, it
now appears to be certain that
what is known as the 'tmachine
element" in South Dakota pol
tics has received a signal de-
feat. The Insurgents are con-
fident that they will control the
convention and dictate all the
nominations. An analysis of
the cause Of this heavy OPPOSE
ton vote would be interesting
if it were possible to make it.
As it is we can only surmise
certain of the reasons. In the
first place there must certainly
have been a principle involved
since it is certain that no wide
spread political movement ever
succeeded in a state or a nation
unless this was true. At the
same time fewer Of us are gov
erned by principle in voting
than by some other things.
One Of these is the matter of a
name. Machine as term
of reproach is particularly OBJ
noxious just now, although the
purest party orgagization must
have its machine to be success
full. Also there is the always
present desire for a change
that defeats SO many political
plans. And then there is the
matter Of personal feeling that
grows up within a party until it
is strong enough to overturn
those to whom it is opposed.
Leaving all these minor con-
siderations, however, we believe
that the great underlying cause
lis to be found in the movement
that is now as wide as the ma
ton to examine more closely
into the words and sacts Of our
Epublic mon and to try them by
newer and higher standards.
No longer are the words Of q
politician to be taken at face
value, nor Isl it q sufficient ex-

EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE PICTURES

When San Francisco. queen Of
the west, empress of the blue Paci-
6c, went crashing down to ruin a
few short weeks ago, horror and
sympathy were mingIee with ex-
citement and curiosity. The people,
shocked beyond measure, warmed
into instant sympathy, yet wonder
ed what manner of shock this was
that had taken San Francisco from
the list OF the worlds great cities.
They had read Of earthquakes,
they had heard travellers tales OF
riven rocks and falling wall, but
the actual sight had ever been den
led them. Not so, however, with
the mighty fall of San Francisco.
To great achievement of the camera
climax of the Photographic art and
absolute ultima thule of motion pic
lures, the earthquake of the Cold
en- Gate has been preserved for full
theatrical display. Every detail of
the vast catastrophe has been caught
and held, real to the minutest par
ticle.
The reeling walls, the falling
buildings, the wrecking of streets
and avenues, are all shown from
start to finish, and the dire after.
math-the confagration, the scenes
of deepest misery, mixed with
greatest sel6shness and grandest
heroism. All these dramas of life
and death are pictured with the
unerring fidelity of the camera.
The plundering ghouls, the aveng-
soldiery, and the outrush of home
less citizens, seeking only to escape
from the desolation that was once
their home. All these things roll
smoothly on film after film. 1t is a
spectacle, once seen never to be for
gotten, and spectacle which few
will fail to see.
