THE SOUTHERN COTTON
ASSOCIATION.

1t was my pleasure, as we'll as duty
to attend the recent meeting of the
Southern Cotton Association at New
Orleans. 1t was harmonious gather
ing of business men, who have at
heart the upbuilding of the South by
securing to our people that agricul
tural and commercial independence
which ought to belong to those who
furnish to the world the greatest crop
known to civilized man.
The policy of holding cotton for Is
cents received the overwhelming en-.
dorsement of the convention, and the
resolution to reduce the acreage to 25
per cent less than that of 1904 met
with hearty approval. To President
Harvie Jordan and Secretary Richard
Cheatham is due good share of the
success of the Association during the
past season.
AS we have said before, reduction
of the cotton acreage by the farmers
will prevent an excessive crop and
consequent low prices.
Another benefit of such reduction is
the solving in measure of the labor
problem. The scarcity of labor has
been previously discussed and there is
no need to go over the~s same ground
here. With a smaller acreage the
farmer can readily dispense with
part OF the force of laborers. If by
extra fertilization and cultivation he
can make one acre produce twice as
much as formerly, he can do without
many of his hands and save a large
part of his expense The reduction
of cotton acreage will leave more
land for the various grasses and for
age crops and give the farmer a bet.
ter chance to live at home without
sending money to the West for any
kind of supplies.
Those who have not yet done so,
ought to plant now their spring oats,
and get their lands ready for the
crops suited to the season.
Again we say, stand by the resolu.
ton to reduce your cotton acreage and
thus avoid the risk of bumper crop
and low prices.
BY continued united action you will
retain the victory already gained and
win new triumphs for the future.

Commissioner of Agriculture

THERE Is MORE IN THE MAN

Sidney Lanier, our great Georgia

story of a man, who was always
~grumbling about his land, and wuo.
after selling it and going West, found
upon his return that another had
taken that same land and made it a
thing of beauty with it's crops of
tieecy cotton and waving corn.
1t is not the grumbler and the lag
gard who wins in the battle Of life.
but the diligent and progressive man
who proves himself a hero in the
strife and who has the patience ITO

perseyering and intelligent toll final
victory is sure.

We wish to impress upon our farm.
ers the Importance of being on their
guard against the temptation to plant
too much cotton for another season
The high prices that have prevailed
will lead to overconfidence, IL you are
not steadfast in your resolution not
to increase your cotton acreage
The Cotton Growers Association
has done a great work in bringing
about such united action among South
ern farmers, that they have been able
to control the price of their great sta
pie, with the gratifying result that
they are stronger financially than at
any other time since the close of the
great civil war.
To keep up the Cotton Growers AS
Sociation is to strengthen your posi-
tion of financial influence, won afte4
SO many discouraging failures. Hence
it behOoves our farmers, who have not
yet done so, to join the great Asso-
citation and by prompt payment of all
dues keep the treasury full of the
means that will enable the officers OF
the Association to push ON in the great
work, which has in the past year
proved of such great benefit
Disintegration and the breaking up
of the united front presented during
the past year by the agriculturalists
of the South, will bring again low

achieved.

INTENSE POLITICS.

There can be no sort of doubt that
politics as expressed in the coming con-
gressional and national campaigns, will
be of the most rabid character, and all
lengths of aggression resorted to. The
most significant element OF the great
and bitter turmoil to come. is found in
the labor fight put up in Maine, as
against the reelection of Congressman
Littlefeld. No matter what the issue
in that case, union labor will be the
dominant aggressor in the future; from
a sense of elation, if it shall win that
fight; from sense of desperation, if it
shall lose. And an united labor move :
ment in this country Iif its leaders can
hold it in line), will be a tremendous
factor hitherto unengaged by the polite
ians of the country. There need be no
mistake made about it; it is worth the
earnest and wise study of every man
with partisan responsibility, and the
sooner it is met and placated the bet
ter. There are bases of compromise that
may be adapted to the situation that
win be infinitely more effective than an
overwhelming defeat through the unes
timated successes liable to accrue to
such banded vote.
The supreme danger of success in the
labor ranks is the lack of discretion in
the subsequent handling of its prestige.
There are wise and reliable leaders in
the midst of the organized workmen Of
the United States who may be relied on
to give sensible and cautious advice,
but they are far too few to be effective
in directing the immense latitude of ac-
countability that must follow anything
ike general success; and without such
restraining forces to check it, union la.
Dor in the official saddle will do some
startling things in the way of admin
istration. 1t is all well enough to de.
clare the prospect free from such en-
tanglements, but it is wiser to consider
them before they fructify, and make
such arrangements as viii minify the
possible evils that shall Unexpectedly
arise in the conflict. To pre-suppose
trouble in this relation is justifable in
the light of all that is known of the
tendencies of the laborite when he has
to handle strange and momentous pow
ers, and if there were nothing else to
consider in this immense premise, this
alone is enough to invoke the best and
most powerful intelligence and energy
in the country, to counteract.

it is nevertheless expensive to the soul

mated that it costs $3.50 to save a soul

only 25 cents to rescue a siner in At
