A MATTER FOR THE COMMISSION.

The State Railroad Commission
should require all passenger trains
in this state to make connection
where the railroads cross and Z
connection is advertised.
A case in point is at rRuston
where the Vicksburg. Shreveport
& Pacific and the Rock Island
Railroads cross. The Rock
Island is advertised to connect
with the east and westbound local
passenger trains on the V. S. & P.
in the morning and the eastbound
V. S. & P. ia the evening.
A few days ago a number OF
passengers for Winfield came
from Shreveport by way of Rus
ton. The V. S. & p. was thirty
minutes late and when they
reached Ruston they were cody
informed that the Rock Island
left about FIVE minutes before and
that they could wait until the
next day or GO to Monroe, take
the Iron Mountain, GO to George
town and up the Louisiana & Ar
Kansas, making I22 miles. when
the distance from Ruston to Winn-
field is IS miles. Some of them
made this circuitous route and
saw the L. & A. pull out from
Georgetown as the Iron Noun
tain was approaching in the dis
lance. Five minutes time and all
the passengers, baggage and mail
could have been transferred and
would have reached WINFIELD. in
less than two hours instead of
waiting over until the following
day.
The Railroad Commission
should look into this matter, as
we'll as other cases of similar char
acter at other places.

BULGE IN COTTON. :

1t is to be hoped that the farm
ers will not be upset by the bulge
in cotton and jump to the conclu-
sion that prices will continue to
rise indefinitely.
The present advance is the di-
rect result of the revelation OF
crop damage caused chiefly by
the late gulf storm and by the in
furious weather of September.
Favorable weather for the next
few weeks will retard further ad-
vance.
The Record is not surprised tina t
cotton has advanced 1t has be-
lieved all along that the judicious
marketing of the crop would
sooner or later force prices to II
cents. This advance is not due to
that process; it is purely acciden-
tai, and circumstances caused it.
There may be even considerable
reaction as temporary result.
Of course the damage is done
and cannot be repaired. To that
extent the expectation of IL cent
cotton is EXCHANGED. But the real
governing cause for a profitable
price is the action of the farmer
in holding fast to his staple until
he gets fair price.
1t is safe to assume that the
world can consume II. 100000.
bales of cotton, and it is almost a
certainty that the crop will not
exceed that figure. With supply
and demand approximately
balanced, it is a matter for mere
patience and business skill to de-
termine whether the spinner or
the farmer shall name the price
within reasonable limits. The
spinner must keep his wheels
turning and the farmer must have
money to pay his debts. But on
the whole the spinner is the more
dependent. There are many
farmers out of debt; there are
many with ample credit; there are
warehouses for storage; there is
money to loan.
The wise farmer will sell some
of his crop at present prices, for
it isn't good business to risk
everything upon a venture like
the price Of cotton which is some
times controlled by market COM
binations. He will watch closely
the government reports of output
and market reports of receipts
and consumption. He will not be
stampeded by drop today nor
by a bulge tomorrow. He will
keep his head, know what he is
doing, and he will get IL cents or
better for a considerable part of
his crop.-Fort Worth Record.

THE RACE QUESTION.

Liz iSISbt 01Saioh@>' IA hh~
city of Atlanta, Georgia, have
brought.the people of the South
face to face with this problem.
The solution of this vexed ques-
tioa is one that has been occupy
ing the minds of our best thinkers
while the negrophiles of the
North have been poisoning the
minds of the vicious negroes. and
many good ones will have to
suffer for the acts Of the vicious.
The negroes themselves can in
a great measure settle this ques-
ton, by moving into the sections
of this country whose people
have been filling them with the
idea of social equality. The
northern people are beginning to
get the idea that this will be
done. Now we feel that by con-
cert of action all over the South
the negroes could be transferred
north of the Ohio river inside of
eighteen months. 1t would work
a hardship on some of our enter
prises and industries at first, but
they would adjust themselves in a
short time. The laboring ele-
ment of the whites do not care to
come South on account of the
negro. They do not want to
come in contact with that class CT
labor, hence, they will not come
here. As soon as the South gets
rid of the negro population the
sooner she will get a thrifty class
of immigrants. such as have set
tied the Western states.
The question will be asked how
are we to make this transfer
This can be answered by asking
how did We get rid of the Carpet
Dagger and the negro politicians
A way was found and was effect
lively carried out and some of the
same men who inaugurated that
plan and carried it to a successful
termination are living now, ard
while they view with horror the
necessity of such action, when the
time is ripe they will not fail to ac-
cept the responsibility.
We have of late refused to pub
lish the reports of these assaults
upon white women by negroes,
for the reason that the more
prominence given matters of this
kind seems to increase the num-
Der. One thing we have noticed,
however. is that not one of these
brutes was reared under the old
regime. Every one guilty of the
objectionable outrage is one
whose mind has been poisoned by
the press and the societies of the
North.
We notice also that the negroes
of the North are afraid that if any
more outbreaks like that at At
lanta takes place the worthless
class of negroes will 60 to the
Northern cities. We can not. af-
ford to wait until another half
dozen nor even one of our women
are assaulted by one of the brutes,
and the good negroes of the
South had better take this matter
in hand.

in ST, LOUIS
ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE WHO
PROVED SENSATION EAST
REACHES MOUND CITY.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-L. T. Cooper
the man who has created a sensa
ton throughout the east, and who
is rapidly acquiring a national repu
tation, arrived in st. Louis yesterday
Copper is president Of the Cooper
Medicine Company, of Dayton, Ohio
and has made a fortune within the
past few years estimated at several
millions, by the sale of two prepare.
tons, which are claimed to be very
unusual, and which are said to accom-.
pllsh remarkable results.
Cooper spends his time travelling
from city to city introducing these
remedies and in this manner he has
acquired the fortune he now pos.
sesses.
Copper is said to be a very re.
markabIe character, and a man with
eccentric ideas; one OF his beliefs is
that certain part of his income
should be devoted to charitable work,
and he is said to give thousands of
dollars to the poor in each city that
he visits.
His charitable work is original. as
he is continually devising new meth.
DDS of making money give the most
pleasure and relief possible.
The most remarkable feature of
Cooper's work is what is known as
his "Thre minute removal of deaf.
ness" In cities visited by him with
in the past year he has appeared night
ly before large audiences and offered
to make any one hear, within less than
three minutes, II they would come
up on the stage. Reports from Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, and other cities, seem
to indicate that Cooper actually did
as he claimed.
Each night he is said to have re-
moved, before thousands of people
cases of deafness in about three min,
utes' time with one of his prepare
lions. The accounts of his work ap'
peared in all Of the leading "dalies'
OF the east, and people have flocked
to him from all parts of the country
The sale Of his preparations is said
to roach enormous proportions within
week after Cooper arrives in city
Whether he will be as successful in
st. Louis as elsewhere remains to be
seen.
