But it is asserted that "protection"
has run up the price of cotton. But
the cotton farmers Of the South, who
produce about four-fifths Of the
worlds supply, cannot be protected by
an import tax on foreign cotton, since
the price Of bale is the same Wheth-
er ii is to be spun ana woven in Mas
sachusetts or England.
If. again the Republican tariff has
run up the price of cotton this and
last year, Why did it not do this in all
the years since that party has con-
trolled Federal affairs? Why did the
farmers organize the Farmers; Al
lance, after having felt for twenty
five years the heel Of some sort # q
despot? Why did they demand the
adoption of their Sub-Treasury
scheme while the Mckinley tariff was
"checking imports by increasing the
taxes on foreign products?
No, q Republican tariff cannot regu
late prices in Liverpool, or Antwerp
or Hamburg. But let me tell you, Mr.
Editor. what it can do. The Dingley
tariff imposes a tax of twenty-five
cents on every bushel OF foreign wheat
imported into the United states; and
Mr.. James T. McCleary, who has been
q member Of Congress from q Mime
sofa district ever since 1898. Is now
going over his district demanding the
gratitude OF the FARMERS because lItG
are receiving from fifteen to twenty
cents per bushel for their wheat more
than the Canadian just across the line
can get for his. In other words, when
the Southern cotton farmers buys 2
barrel of Minneapolis fouc ne pays
from seventy-five cents t. dollar
more for it than Canadian or any
other foreigner pays. So, then, bar
rel of Minnesota flour which ought
to sell for four dollars, and which IN
fact does sell for four dollars III Eu-
rope. Asia. Africa and other countries
where it has to compete with cana
dian -four cannot be purchased by a
Sampson cotton farmer for less than
four dollars and seventy-fiVe cents.
And this is a sample OF the tfeal I
ment our people receive at the nam
Of the Republican party: and not only
now. are they thus fieeced; they nave
been making this same sort OF contri-
button to the industries OF the Nortn-
ern people during the last fortE-ohe
years. But possibly our people arr

$4,000 DAMAGE TO COTTON
By FIRE on Southern Platform Yes
tcrday Afternoon.

About 200 bales of cotton on the
platform of the Southern Railway wee
Dadly Scorched yesterday afternoon.
The alarm was turned in soon after
two o'clock and the fire department
responded and soon had the fire under
control, but it required several hours
OF careful work to put out the smOuld-
efinS ire inside many of the bales
There were several hundred bales
on the platform besides what was
burned. The damage Will likely
'amount to $4,000 1t was the property
of Chas. E. Johnson e Co, cotton
dealers, but they had received bills
of ladlng from the railroad for all
but about 80 bales. The cotton was in
.sured. 1t is thought the fire originated
in the cotton from a spark from a

BAD FOR PEANUTS.
Small Yield and Crop Damaged by

Suffolk, Va. Oct 25.-The peanut
outlook is black-very black, the
farmers say.
Not only is the whole yield much
below the average, but the producers
have not been able to save what were
grown.
They are in bad way, whether the
nuts have been dug or not. Those
which have been dug and stacked are
turning black because OF the prolong-
ed rain. Those yet in the ground are
practically lost. The vines We're kill

the stems the peanuts can not now
be dug, because they Will be left III

1t seems to us that the prosperity

culture. If Southern farmers Will
curtail their cotton cuiture-sO as not
to over produce that crop-and will
multiply the number of stock kept
on their farms-cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry, etc.-there is independent
wealth in store for them.
Limited cotton production and
unlimited stock production will
quickly make the South the richest
section OF the United States. The
man who shows the South how to
stop the tremendous drain on this
section caused by the importation OF
Western corn and meat will deserve
inc unanimous thanks of our entire

Robert Burton, the author of "The Anatomy of Melancholy" may claim this honor: His book has stood the test of time as few books have. Professor Saintsbury writes that "all fit readers of English literature have loved him" Lamb praises the fantastic great old man" and. indeed, borrowed from him many a choice phrase. Among other remarkable ''one book authors may be mentioned Sir Thomas Mallory. whose famous collection of Arthurian romances Is one of the imperishabIe treasures of the English tongue: Rich ard Hooker. whose Jaws of EccIesi- astical Polity" Is still a standard book on the constitution of the Church of England. and Gilbert White. whose im- mortal -Satural History of SeIbourne- is stIIi read with pleasure and profit.
