Do Not Over Plant.

The following very interesting letter
from Mr.. VIM. v. King, Supt. N. Y,
Cotton Exchange, was received by
Richard Cheatham, Secretary of the
Southern Cotton Association:
Mr.. Richard Cheatham, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10th
inst. is received. Thanks for Presi-
dent Jordan's cotton statistics, etc.,
which give the facts clearly and intel
ligently.
In my opinion the coming planting
season will prove to be the most try
ing if not the most critical in the ex-
p%erience OF the cotton growers of the
South. Trying because there are many
who believe 10 or 10 liz cents will prove
so serious a temptation to the planter
that he will put every available acre in
cotton. This opinion is not confined to
this section of the country alone, but is
endorsed by many of the good people
of the South, not planters of cotton l
am glad to say.
1t will indeed prove a critical season
for the planter and for the entire South
should the temptation to o%ver-plant in
cotton be carried out. The years of
splendid work of your Association to-
gether with that of others who have
co-operated, will be swept away, and a
condition of servitude for the planter
will be reenacted with it's consequent
&c or 7c for cotton.
This is not an extreme view of the bust
ness 1t is certain to occur unless the plan
ers stand solidiy together and for their
own protection diversity the planting,
putting in a moderate acreage only in
cotton. If the planters will not protect
themselves in a matter of dch vital in
%terest, to whom can they look for help?
Certainly not to the buyer and the
consumer.
To sum up the matter, the situation
for veal or for woe for z cents or for
IL cents is entirely in the hands of the
planter. In a brief interval of time
the world will know whether he has
proven false to himself or has had the
courage and manliness to resist the
temptation which now threatens to
wrest from him the control of the situa-
ton.
Yours truly,
VIM. V. KING.

ASSAlLING WILL OF
THE LATE e. J.DENDY
Proceedings Commenced In Probate
Court for the Purpose Of Proving a
Will In Due Form,

An action has been brought in the
probate court by attorneys represent
ing Mrs. May Finley as petitioner, ask
ing that an order be granted to require
Mrs. Lulu Dcndy, widow of the late
Mr.. E. j.. Dendy, to prove in due form
of law the alleged last will and tesla
ment of her husband which has been
admitted to probate in common form,
and letters of administration with the
will annexed, have been granted to
Mrs. Dendy, as no executor has been
appointed.
A hearing has been given by Judge
of Probate o. G. Thompson, but the
case was not carried to a conclusion by
reason of the absence of two or three
important witnesses.
Mr.. E. ]. Dendy, commonly known
as Coon" Dendy, died on the 9th of
October, 1902, possessed of a considera-
BILE estate of both real and personal
property, leaving two wills bearing
date of June 10, 1893, and October z,
1902, respectively. Under the provis-
ions of the will made in 1893, Mrs.
May Finley, niece of the deceased, is
named as a legatee and devisee. In the
1902 will no such provision is made and
the petitioner will seek to have said
will and testament set aside on the
ground of incompetency, alleging that
said instrument of writing was ex-
ecuted while the deceased was fatally
ill, death following within a few hours
after the paper had been prepared.
The petition of Mrs. Lula Dendy, as
Administrative with the will annexed,
of E. j. Dendy, deceased, %recites that
Mr.. Dendy departed this life on the
9Th of October, 1902, leaving in force
his last will and testament which was
duly executed on the 7th day of Octo-
Der, 1902, thereby revoking all wills
previously made by him.
Mr.. Dendy died on the fourth day af-
ter being attacked with appendicitis.
One of his attending physicians who
was present when the will, p%urporting
to be the last one, was written, says
that Mr.. Dendy was in full possession
VI iho ldClllliSS dlIu IllaI nS was nOC
suffering very much for several hours
before and during the time of the ex-
cution of the will, which the deceased
himself dictated and signed while he
reclined on his bed. After the will was
prepared, which was between 9 and 10
O'Clock on the 7th of October, Mr..
Dendy was that same night driven to
the depot, and accompanied by a ply
stefan and one or two relatives he was
taken to Augusta for the purpose vi
having al operation performed but the
patient died shortly after reaching the
hospital, which was on the morning of
OctoberS, 1902.
The case is of considerable interest
and a final hearing will probably be
given in a short time when the result
can be known perhaps.
The proponent of the will is repre-
sented by Simpson, Cooper & Babb,
while tombstone, Cromer & Todd repre-
sent Mrs. Finley.

White Man to Hang.

Columbia, March 16.-A Supreme
Court decision filed today seals the fate
of Bob Smalls and John Noll, North
Carolina white men, who we're con-
victed last spring in Darlington of the
murder of a negro named Frank Scott,
whom they shot on the public highway,
the white men being in a drunken and
rowdy condition. Smalls was only %
years old, and Noll was just 10 at the
time of the killing. Smalls was given a
death sentence, and Noll, being recon-
mended to mercy, got a life sentence.
Smalls was sentenced to hang last May.
The Supreme Court afirms the results
in the lower Court, and Smalls is to be
re-sentenced in the near future.

Well Said

The average reader is accustomed
to seeing in any paper he may pick up
the practice of advertising advocated.
He often thinks that the spirit which
prompted the writing of that article
was merely one OF immediate gam
that the writer merely intended to IN
duce ONE mercantile establishment
to give his paper patronage. News
papers often urge their merchants 10
advertise and in doing so often justly
contend that it will pay all concerned.
But there is a deeper meaning IN This
agitation for extensive advertising.
1t is an indispensable element in pro-
gress. Newspapers have discovered
this and taken up the cry just as they
continue hammering at any other en-
.terprising and progressive proposltiol,'
History, experience and reason teacn
us that to be favorably known is the
chief foundation of success. AS q
community we must uphold the prln-
5ciple OF advertising and all other pro-
pressiye steps, or be relegated to the
side Of others that sleep. rmour

HEARDOF AFFAIR
Minneapolis Tribune Comments
on Aberdeen Farmers Ball

The report comes from Aberdeen of
a most exclusive affair being planned
for the farmers of Brown and the adj
joining counties about the middle of
February. The new auditorium is to
be opened with a farmers dance and
none but the Jillers Of the soil are to
be hidden. The aristocratic members
OF the 400 in the cities around are
green with envy but not by hook nor
crook can they get an invitation. One
or two of the city bellies who have
scorned stalwart "Reuben'' are now
being sweet as peaches and cream to
him-each SO they may be the FORUM
ate "lady" whom his invitation in
lcludes. The city chaps are being
strictly let alone.-Minneapolis Tri-

PURE SEED SPECIAL WRECKED
Ran Over Horse at Entrance IL
Yard-Two Coaches Leave
Track

The pure seed special. consisting of
the division superintendent's private
car and three other coaches, coming
from the east about 8 p. N. Wednes.
day, struck horse about 200 feet west
OF the junction OF the Great Northern
and the Northwestern. The engine
kept the track while the tender was
thrown over so the wheels ran on the
north side Of the rails. The front
truck OF the forward car, which was
the division superintendent's car,
kept to the main track, while the e a
truck was thrown to the south side of
the track. The next coach went-clean
off to the south side of the grade with
the right hand wheels just inside the
south rail. The two rear.cars held the
track while the train ran about 300
feet before stopping. Before coming
to a standstill the derailed cars struck
the first siding on the south side
which carried them SO far from the
main track that they formeda V, each
with an end on the main track. A lit
tie further would have put the front
car, in which the professors and the
division superintendent were riding,
square across the tracks.
Noone was hurt, fortunately. The
horse was severed as with a ~cleaver.
The engine had been disabled all day
and the air breaks were not in work
ing order. The evening train east
bound was delayed until five in the
morning before it could get around
the wreck.

A Habit to Be Encouraged

The mother who has acquired the
habit Of keeping on hand a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself a great amount of uneasiness
and anxiety. Coughs, colds and Group,
to which children are susceptible,
are quickly cured by it's use. 1t
c%ounteracts any tendency OF a cold to
result in pneumonia, and if given as
DOR as the first symptoms of Group
appear, it will prevent the attack.
This remedy contains nothing injur-
ious and mothers give it to little ones
with a feeling of perfect security.
