campaign and sweeping victory
at the polls.-Danvil,e News.

THE Beckham machine, of which
Percy Haley is the chief mogul
seems to be having troubles of its
own. A local exchange says:
THE expected has happened
The Beckham machine has split
md no one seems to know where
lie is ''at." Percy Haly has noti-
led Mr.. Hagar and Judge Hines
that they are not the men to run
for Governor and Auditor, that the
people don't want them The
trouble with Percy is this: He is
conducting Beckham's camp ,ign
for the Senate and he wanted to
get some outsiders on the slate so
the people of the State would not
cry the machine at him. But
Hines aud Hager, who had fought
the Governors battles, wanted to
run and they did not care to be
horned off by Ha)y and Beckham
In other words they did not intend
TO step down and out in order that
the Governor should better further
his political aspirations; so they
went quietly to work and organize
their forces, had meeting of the
State Central and Executive Com
mittees, appointed a sub committee
to arrange the details Of the prima-
ry and elected man of their choice
over Haly for Secretary of the COM
mittee. This enraged Haly 10
such an extent that he Immediately
published salty article in which
he scored Hager, Hines, Vreeland
ct al and warned the people that
they were not the right men for the
places to which they aspire. Per
cy knows the right men. He says
McChesney is the right man for
Auditor. Morgan Chinn for Secre-
tary of State but will not say just
now who he favors for Governor,
mentioning however, several men,
none of whom would run under any
Circumstances if they new Haly
stood sponsor for them. Governor
Beckham will no doubt reiterate
his former statement that he ex
poets to keep hands off in the other
races, but he couldn' if he would.
Hines expects him to use his pat
ronage in his behalf and McChes-
ney expects the same thing, so, as
he cannot serve them both, there
must inevitably bea split. If the
machine has gone to pieces. as it
now seems, and there is to be a
free-for-all fight for the Offices, it is
not hard to guess wto will be the
next Senator. He is now sitting
quietly at home, directing his cam
paign and saying nothing but
watching the rumpus in the enc
my's camp, which far be it from us
to say he was instrumental in bring
ing about. The people want new
deal. They are tired of having the
cards stacked bp such fellows as
Haly and his crowd. Percy has
helped put the screws to many
poor fellow. but his political days
are numbered and he is now getting
a dose of his own medicine

Respectfully Declined.

President lIarvie Jordan has
issued the following letter anent
the Thomas syndicate PROPOSE
ton to take 100000 bales of cot
ton at ID cents:
The Executive Committee OF
the Southern Cotton Association,
to whom were referred the E. Il.
Thomas syndicate proposition to.
t,ke up 100000 bales spot mid
ding cotton from Southern plan
tiers at 13 cents per pound, while
regarding the plan as feasible il
properly financed, are of the
opinion that the deal is too enor-
nous and involving too many
details Tor the Association to un-
dertake, and further that it would
not be advisable to recede from
the peoples demand for a maxi
mum price OF Is cents tor the
small balance OF the unsold por-
ton of this crop. 1t is preferred
that the proposition be under
taken by the syndicate co oper-
ating with some cotton firm tally
equipped to handle a deal of such
magnitude. This may be done,
and, if SO, you will be promptly
notified. Efforts are already be
ing made along that line.
The solution OF the cotton sit
uation is the equipment of abun
dant warehouse facilities and Sc
curing capital sufficient to finance
the crop through - months in
stead OF four or five months in
the tall. The entire absence OF
warehouse facilities in the South
west has been the prime cause OF
such continuous heavy receipts
during the past few mouths
This has given spectators, spin
ners and large spot buyers the
ammunition with which to ham
mer the market. Receipts will
from now on tighten up, and
strengthen the market. Those
who have cotton should stand
firm and refuse to be stampeded
by temporary reactions. The
mills have bought only daily
supplies and the world will re !,
Quire an enormous amount OF
cotton during the spring and
summer. Tighten your grip and
do not be discouraged. We will
and must win this fight as we did
one year ago. To win quickly
we must have thorough coopera-
ton all along the line. With
continuous selling by the people
the market will not advance.
Hold firm, and the victory will
vet be yours. Yours truly,
HARvIE JORDAN.

There are only two ways by
means of which a good price for
cotton can be obtained and main
tanned. One is through crop fail
ure, with little cotton to sell, and
the other is by making bountiful
TODD crop and being thus enabled
to market the crop conservatively
instead OF rushing it to sale to
meet demands Tor supplies. The
landlord who does not devote his
chiet attention TO the matter OF
his share hands and tenants max
ing corn, is a wanton despoiler OF
his country and demorallzsr of
his plantation and neighborhood.
If the landlord will look closely
to the supply question, the ten
ants aud share hands can be de-
pended upon to look after the
cotton.-Aberdeen Examiner.

The Lesson of the Hour.

The favorable weather for pre-
paration of the soil, aud the ex
~periences of the past, tends to the
opinion that the cotton acreage
tor 1906 will be largely increased
and the crop proportionately
great. And herein the planter
win make his mistake.
Despite the fact that the wealth
err experienced in the forepart OF
last season was decidedly unfay.
orable, and despite the tact that
much land planted had to lie out
through lack of hands to work
and gather its product, the crop
for 1905 was sufficiently large to
render very unstable the cotton
market.
The rebu,tal argument that
the price OF the crop of 1906 VAS
affected adversely by the large
"leit over from the crop of 1904
will not hold good for another
year. Had labor been plentiful
and weather conditions favorable
tor working aud gathering the
crop planted last year, cotton
would not have brought five
cents per pound.
Shall the folly of the past be
repeated by the Southern cotton
planter?
The man who desires to profit
by the experiences of the past
will diversity his crop. He will
plant food stutfs-corn, potatoes,
peas, cane, and plenty OF garden
truck; VIII raise and fatten a
few hogs, and have his yard iull
of poultry. Being Independent
in the matter of supplies, he will
also be independent as to the
condition of the cotton market.
And the poor man, or man in
moderate circumstances, who, at
crop gathering time, once expe
riences the pleasurable sensation
of independence in these respects.
will not, it he be wise, again al
low himself to get behind thro'
following the all cotton fallacy.

Sick

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
TEN, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss OF
