Lesson from Franklin.

1t is well, therefore, to use the force
OF Franklin's knowledge, and his
teaching, and his example to emphe
size the wisdom of our great middle
classes in combining their savings for
the sake of mutual profit resulting
from large industrial enterprises, car
tried on with their aggregated capital
1T requires a good deal of confidence
lin the credulity Of the public, says
Gent per Cent, to argue, in the face OF
such facts as follow, that industrial
corporations cannot possibly earn
more than five per cent, for the whole
history of commercial development in
America, from Franklin's time to ovi
own, testifies to the contrary. Take
the great railroads, for illustration, ths
most profitable of all industrials, and
trace their invested millions to their
source, back through the insurance
companies and banks to the millions
of small depositors, and you will see
that in reality the peoples savings
are the capital that is running the
roads, albeit the people do not receive
the large earnings because their mon.

TALLY, five counties devastated, and
100 square miles of territy fire swept
this is the dreadful picture that the
northern Michigan peninsula presents
today after the worst forest fire since
the Pishtigo disaster in 1887 spent
itself
Gen. Supt. w. E. Wells of the Esca-
naba G Lake Superior railway, along
which right of way the great loss
occurred, returned from a trip of in
spection in the fire stricken area, and
says that the flames have gone down,
and for the time being the danger is
over unless new gale again fans the
embers into flames. The following
summary briefly tells the story:
The dead:
Peter Lafond, cook smothered in
lumber camp near Katos, body found
last night.
Three unknown children, dead at
Puinnesec, Mich; separated from their
parents while the village was burn
ing, and persisted.
Scores of homesteaders and woods
men are missing and many have prob
ably persisted in the flames.
The territory devastated includes
five counties-Marquett Menominee,
Delta, Alger and Dickinson.
The territory fire swept is 100
square miles in extent.
Towns totally burned:
Talbot, Mich, 300 population, only a
few houses left standing.
Quinnesec, Mich, 400 population,
only one house remains.
Saunders, $50 population, all wiped
out.
Niagara, Wis, 300 population, all
wiped out.
Towns partially destroyed: Corn
ley, Kingsley, Woodlawn, Foster City,
Metropolitan.
Details of the fire are gradually
coming out of the burned territory.
All day long refugees and trainmen
have been coming in, telling tales of
misery and suffering as well as hero
ism and brave deeds that were enact
ed while the fire was at it's height.
The reports all show that the fire was
fully as serious as first reported, The
burned over district extends from
point ten miles out of Escanaba to
Talbot on the south, from Claiming
to Quinnesec on the west, to Sands on
the north, and back to Escanaba.

Stirring Address by President
Smith, OF the State Cotton
Growers Association, in
Which he Appeals to Far
mers to Keep Staple off the
Market Certain Months.

h"No oeeH undDle to keep i'm
touch with the people of the
State through the press. l do not
want any one to imagine that
the work of the Association has
in any-wise lessened.
l take this opportunity to call
the attention of all the Associa-
tion to the fact that from every
State In the U Mon there comes
reliable information of material
crop damage. There seems to be
little prospect of a crop exceed
ing eleven million bales. The
world consumed last year twelve
million, five hundred bales the
consumption this year will prob
ably reach twelve million, seven
hundred and fifty thousand
bales. Therefore, not only for the
remainder of the year, but for
all OF next year, there will be
practically no cotton in stock. If
there ever was a time when the
Southern Cotton Association az
an organization could demon
strate its power, that time has ar.
rived. A strenuous effort should
be made to keep the cotton from
the market during the months
of September, October and Nov
ember, for this is the time whe
the spectators and the mill men
lay In their supplies at the
lowest possible price. Because
they recognize that this is debt
paying time, and that the small
farmer, the man who needs eyery
cent that his cotton can be
m ade to bring, that this is the
time he will be forced to part
with his crop.
The Southern Cotton Associa-
ton should bend every effort
this September, as soon as cot
ton begins to come to the mark et. .
to use its organized authority to
keep every bale possible off
the market.
Year before last we began tn Q
year with considerable stock
carried over from the enormous
fourteen million bale crop; this
year we will begin the cotton
year of 1906 and 1907 with
practically no old cotton on hand
and with the world deman ding
more cotton than the new crop
can supply.
Therefore, | call upon every
association in every county in
the state to meet at once and
devise ways and means by which
in every county and township
they can make arrangements to
keep the cotton off the market
during the first of the cotton
season by all means available.
The prospect in South Caro-.
lima, as | know from personal
obs s(rvation, is the poorest for
tep years.
The country is being flooded
with poor literature; every in
genuity known to the opposition
& being used to depress the
price of cotton.
