THE NATIONAL FLAG.
No PossCssion of Country More
Loyalty Loved and Revered.

No Posses len of n Country More
Loyalty Loved and Revered.
There is ID possession of a country
which is more deeply revered, more
consistently loved or more Loyalty SUD
ported than its national flag. In our
country is this especially true, for in
that one emblem are embodied all the
principles which our forefathers up
held, all the benefits of a century and
quarter of enlightened progress and
all the hope and assurance of a promis-
ing future
The stripes of alternate red and white
proclaim the original union of thirteen
states to maintain the Declaration of
Independence. Its stars, white on a
field of blue, proclaim that union of
states constituting our national constel-
lation which receives a new star with
every state Thus the stars and stripes
( signify union and Gin union there Is
strength"
The very colors have a significance
White stands for purity, red for valor
and blue for justice, together forming a
combination which it is our inherited
privilege to honor and uphold.
1t Is not the flag of king or an en-
peror or a president. 1t is the flag of
the people, brought into being by their
will, defended when necessary by their
| patriotism and to which they turn
for protection in time of danger No
matter into what parties our people
may be divided. due to political beliefs
and leanings, they all stand united
under one flag. 1t is the emblem of
unity, safety and faith St Nicholas,

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga Jan. 1.-THE pendu-
lum swung the other way today. Yes.
terday the extreme range was II
points and prices closed points higher
than the day before; Jday prices range
again II points but the closing is five
lower than last night and practically
back to the same level as Tuesday.
The scalping character of the market
can thus be readily seen. Ia the sb-
SERGE of continuous spot demaud, riees
in the future market are short lived
while owing to the determined atti
tude of the holders, any depressions
forced By short selling are equally as
promptly recovered. OF all toe mar
ket9, Liverpool showed the greatest
strength. This was particularly true
in the spot department, where sales for
the first time IN several weeks reached
l2, 600. Good demand is also reported
on this aide from Carolina mills aud
sales in New Orleans were quite good
withou' however, auychange in prices.
The convention of the Southern Cotton
Association now in session at New Or
leans is attracting unusual attention. AT
this time year ago the meeting for the
purpose of curtalllng acreage and hold
ing the balance of the crop for 10 cents
was ridiculed as the effort of a pigmy
to dam up the current of thu Mlsslss-
ippI at the food stage. The pigmy
has since grown to be a giant and is
today receiving respectful attention
not dreamed of two years ago. In
spite of all said to the contrary, we
are convinced that the reeult of the
convention will be determination to
hold down the acreage within reas-
enable compass, probably about the
same as planted last year and the ad-
herence OF planters and farmers
throughout the whole belt 10 the re-
Communications Eof the association.
One of orr friends points ont that this
time year ego, the south had still
1000. 900 bales to mar ket and by fol-
loving the ro'icy of the association
sold the last of an enormous crop
above II cents. The crop last year, he
says, left q surplus of 5000, 900, 900
net profit in the south. The year be-
fore the cash surplus WAS about ss
much; this season the outlook for an
other $500, 900, 600 profit over and above
the cost of production. There are only
three million bales remaining to be
marketed ut of the crop and The sur
