Philadelphia, Pa, May S.-An effort
is being made by the Russian govern.
ment to bring about the extradition OF
Maxim Gorky. He is charged with all
manner of offenses, chiefly political,
but including one of defalcation. If
the government can ecu his extradi-
ton, Russia will certainly hang the
novelist and revolutionist.

Mayor ]. B. Mckee this morning re-

Omaha, acting chief engineer for the
Union Pacific, in answer to his letter
of April 80, in which Mr.. Huntley says
that his office will recommend the lay
ing of a new main from the reservoir
at the city springs to a point near the
company's property at Grand avenue
and the railroad crossing. The city
will be asked to enter into an agree
ment with the railroad company rela-

use of water from the line, the com
pany insisting that no water shall be
taken from the pipes except through

1t is evidently the intention of the
company, according to the word from
Mr.. Huntley, to place the line under
the control of the city, SO far as tap.
ping is concerned, with a provision in
the proposed agreement that noprivate
consumer shall be allowed to use water
direct from the main. Mr. Huntley in
timated in his letter that action would
be taken Don to get the company and
the city together and then build the
line.

w. o. Moss, who represents the Hut
ton grove portion of the district, was
introduced and addressed the meeting,
urging the building of a school house
there, declaring that the bringing OF
school children to the city schools was
not the proper thing to do. He said
there were within a radius of a mile
or two of the site of the old school
building sixteen children of school age
and there were t~wenty-four or more
who could be brought in If they had a
school house. He said the people there
wanted a school house badly and he
saw no reason why they should MOI
have one. The nine miles morning and
evening was too much for the children
in all sorts of weather, leaving then
unfit for q days work after the lone
ride and suffering from physical in

Will Oppose Parcels Post.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 90
The annual convention Of the Nation
al Retail Hardware Dealers Assocla-
ton opens here today. The attend
ance is unusually large and every
state and territory is we'll represent
ed. The convention will last three
days. It is expected that the conven-
tion will renew it's campaign against
the. parcels post proposition and Will
adopt strong resolutions in opposition
to it. On the other hand the conVen-
ton will undoubtedly favor reduc-
ton in the rate on first class mali
matter from two cents to one cent Tor
each ounce. The delegates will argue
that the reduction of the rate on tlrst
class mail matter Will be Of greater
benefit to the public in general, while
the parcels post would involve great
cost to the government and would
benefit mail order houses to the dis
advantage Of the small retailers.

Iron Export Records Broken.

Pittsburg. Pa, March 20.-The ex-
ports from the United States Of iron
and stock manufactures during til.
month of February broke all previous
monthly records. Almost l4,50O tons
of wire, nails and iron pipe were ship
ped abroad last month through New
York and other Eastern seaboard
points. the largest consl@nmentS ever
made to foreign countries in any one
month in the history Of the trade.
The shipments Of steel rails and bill
lets were exceptionally heavy. aggrc-
eating a shade under $4,000 tons. In
addition to these huge shipments, big
lots went overland to the Pacific
coast for export to the far East and
considerable quantities were also
sent from Southern ports.
Besides reaching the high water
mark, the February exports were IN
teresting because of the fact that the
port Of New York handled more than
the combined shipments made through
Philadelphia and Baltimore. These
ports, especially Baltimore, have pre-
viously taken care Of the bulk Of the
shipments made to foreign countries
from the Atlantic coast. New York
shipped nearly $4,000 tons out Of the
$4,000 or more tons exported last
month. Another feature Of the Feb
ruary shipments was the large con-
signments which went forward to
South America, hitherto stronghold
Of the German and British iron and
steel manufacturers. The steel rail
exports represented 26,S1s tons. H.
132 tons went to the Argentine Re-
public. while 7,446 tons went to Bra
zil. To Japan zoos tons were ship
ped.

Our Cotton On Hand.

Our efforts in these columns has
been chiefly directed towards check
ing, if possible, the increase of acre
age by silly farmers in cotton; we
have not thought it necessary to give
any advice here to the farmers now
holding their cotton. These are men
of business, and are usually men with
sufficient grit, pluck and financial
backing to carry their points and
know what they are about. The cot
ton holders that now have this mat
ter in hand are about as good finan-
ciers, and have about as much col
lateral and backing behind them as
the bear element have. Cotton holders
know now that about all the scary
holders have been shaken out, and
that the cotton bear is now up against
the real solid stuff. Spot holders are
we'll aware Of the fact that the spin
ner has got to have about all the cot
ton before the next crop comes in, and
it matters not whether the next crop
viii be a small or large crop. The
thing is this, the mills must run or
the walking mobs that are parading
the streets Of the foreign manufact-
uring cities calling for work or
bread will wage riot. Stopping the
mills under such condition would be
equivalent to striking a match in a
powder house. Hold your holt, boys,
and make them come over!

The Signs of the Times.

If we are not badly deceived in the
signs of the times, farmers that do
not heed the warnings Of the Farm
ers' Union and plant more food crops
now, they will be running around next
fall wanting everybody's advice about
how to buy 500 a ton peavine hay and
$1.0O a bushel corn with 6 cents cot
ton.
Our big supply men and mule, men,
too, had better butt in this thing at
once along with the Farmers Union
in their efforts to induce farmers to
plant more food crops and less cot
ton, or the game next winter will be
nip and tuck between these men and
; tie buzzards as to who will get the
most revenue out Of this mule mort
gage business.
A good deal is being said recently
about live stock associations in each
of the counties Of the state, which will
be a good thing if our farmers will
take to them, and instead Of brag-
ging about selling peavine hay and
other food crops. they will raise and
feed more stock and take care Of the
manure, they need not be howling any
longer about the guano trust!
Our Farmers Unions should take
to this live stock idea like young
ducks take to water: it is the natural
thing to do and right along the
straight road to the permanent build
ing up Of the up-to-date progressive
idea of the independent farmer of the
south.
All our Farmers Unions should be
each in itself a good live stock associ-
alton. and talk more about raising
more and better stock and talk less
about raising more cotton.

No Government Armor Plant.

Washington, D. c., March 20.-No
actI5i1 will be taken IN the Navy De-
partrdent toward the preparation OF
= report on the cost of armor plate
nrn.!uction. This information was
called forth at the last session OF
congress, but nothing was said IN the
Naval Appropriation Bill Of the date
when this report should be presented.
+ would require several months to
make an exhaustive and complete
study Of the armor plate situation as
it is today, although probably a board
of investigation would be aided to
some extent by the report on the same
question compiled several years ago.
1T is evident that no steps will be
taken this year, at any rate, toward
the establishment of government
plant for the manufacture OF armor,
and most officers believe that with
the policy Of economy that now pre-
walls and is likely to prevail IN the
increase Of the navy it will not be
deemed profitable for the government
to embark in the production of armor,
especially at the current prices, which
are considered reasonable. Some of
the officers of the navy are in favor
Of government armor plate factory,
but it is considered that the supply
of the material by contract is suff-
ciently controlled by the Navy De-

How About This?

Some Of our South Carolina Far
mers' Unions have been trying. to
make a deal with the Unions IN the
grain growing West for their grain,
but neither the grain growers nor the
cotton growers have been able to get
cars to ship the corn. We are told
that corn has been offered there from
80 cents to 36 cents per bushel, and
thousands OBJ bushels have been piled
on the ground there rotting while
cotton farmers in South Carolina are
paving Is cents to so cents for their
corn when they can get it. 1t seems
that the grain elevator men and the
r. R. men get about as much out OF
the western crop as the corn growers
get, while South Carolina cotton far
mers foot the bills for the whole push.
Now, this is not matter to be SET
tied altogether by congress or the
courts, for the reason that you cannot
legislate common horse sense into
cotton farmers heads, nor drive the
hog and hominy doctrine down their
throats unless some other fellow
grows the hog and hominy.
Our way out Of this thing is to
grow your own food stufs. 1t mat
ters not how cheap others can grow
it, !some how or other, if there is any
thing like good in this trading busi-
ness among farmers crops, the men
that stand between the cotton growers
and the grain growers get about all
the sugar there is in the hog, while
the farmers at each end are bowling
calamity and chewing the bag.

are trying to induce all cotton grow
erS to reduce their acreage to keep
down over production and consequent
to the whole southern cotton states,
some schemish European cotton bears
send out their threats through our
newspapers that if We don't grow a
big surplus of cotton at ruinous prices
to the growers that they will get At
rica to do it for US.
The first round in the papers this
time about this African cotton grow
ing bluff was sent out by German
official, and later followed by a
French official, who claims to have
grown and delivered cotton in Harve,
France, at the astonishing low price
Of :, II cents per pound. Now: we
have all along had the opinion that
Wall Street cotton bears were the
biggest liars this side Of hades, but
we now give all the cake. PIE and crust
! to France.
There was a time when this kind Of
talk perhaps had some weight III IN
iiuencing cotton growers to push IN
more cotton in order to keep their
trade with these foreign spinners, but
the up-to-date cotton planter OF to-
dav is we'll aware of the fact that
these English, German, French and
Russian spinners have all been send
ing down south for our implements,
seed and southern men to grow cotton
in Africa at times for about 40 years;
but all efforts along this line have
proved to be about as practical as
it is to import monkeys here from
Africa to pick out our cotton. In fact
the two propositions are about on
par as to their practicability, for it
takes two men to mind one monkey
while he is picking cotton, and it US
ually takes two Of our southern cot
ton growers to mind one Of those ma
tive African negroes while he is grow
inc the cotton and keep him at it.
When we come to reason this thing
over in our minds, We are confident
that we have large number Of tame
negroes here about among our pro-
eressive cotton farmers that would
never do days work if they could
keep from starving and freezing with
out it,
There is no necessity for negroes to
work in Africa for food and clothing,
and it is against their nature to do 1t
here as we'll as there. We have some
white men here that have the same
disease.
All this talk about competition with
American cotton is rot and out Of date
here. where we know that the south
has the ideal cotton belt Of the world,
and week now how to grow cotton AMI
are learning how to manufacture cot
ton, and still more we have learned to
count the cost Of production Of cot
ton, and how to demand a fair profit
upon our products and we are going
to have it.
