CRIMINAL ECONOMY.

struck another man upon the head
with a piece of gas pipe and killed
him. The man was a criminal and
he was hanged The public must be

ONE INSTITUTE NEXT YEAR
Teachers VIII Have a Meeting Of
Five Days Duration.

Owing to the bad weather last
week the attendance at the Teachers
Institute Friday and Saturday was
not as large as would have been the
case under more favorable condi-
tons The meeting was full OF en-
thusiasm. however. and considerable
interest was displayed in the dis
cussion OF the various topics on the
program.
Perhaps the most important bust
ness transacted was vote by the
teachers i'm favor of combining all
the institutes in one next year In
stead of holding sessions of TWO
DAYS each next year the teachers
will have one meeting of five days
duration This is the number of DAYS
the law requires then TO attend each
school year.

YESTERDAYS MARKET.

The course of the future contract
market on the New York exchange
yesterday is described in a dispatch as
and unsettled during today's trading
and closed barely steady at net de-
cline of "a to 2S points. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.
The opening was steady at decline
of to points which was about as
due on the cables. The loss was due
to liquidation and Wall street selling
during the early session. and was en-
couraged by the failure of the weather
map to show low enough temperatures
to cause damage to the plant but dur
ing the morning aggressive pressure
was held in check by the bullish char
acter Of private cables from Liver
pool. which predicted an advance on

ORGANIZE, THE WATcHWoRo.
If Producers Would Guard Their Inter
ssts, They Must Get Together.

The Yorkville Enquirer makes the
following comment on the future OF
cotton prices, and Of the need for or
ganization among the cotton farmers:
THE demand for cotton goods Is
greater now than 1t has previously
been in the history Of the world. The
demand Is so great as to stimulate the
addition of spindles not only In the
southern part of the United States, but
in the northern part. There Is some
promise that the increase OF spindles
Is more rapid than the increase of pro-
duction. So long as this condition con-
tinues, the demand for manufactured
products holding up in the meantime,
to guard against contingencies, the
farmers must organize
Commenting on the Enqr 'rer's time
ly observations, the Progressive Farm
er says:
Not only do the northern and
southern sections of the United States
respond to the de 'land for cotton
goods in increasing the spinning facil-
tiles, but similar response Is appar-
ent in every cotton manufacturing
country on the globe. In England there
was an increase last year OF 2,OOO,00O
spindles-one- fifth as many as the
south has-and large additions were
made in other European and Oriental
countries. The hunger Of the world
for cotton goods never seemed more
emphatic, and there are no significant
indications in this respect that the
price Of cotton will go lower. But this
does not change the entire pertinency
of The Enquirer's observation that to
guard against contingencies, the farm
ers should organize.
I'm fact one of the contingencies Is
at hand right now-the heavy on
slaught of the bears upon distressed
cotton. II the great body Of farmers
were so we'll organized that they could
say to these spectators, You must
raw what this distressed cotton Is
worth or We'll do 1t ourselves and hold
it'-then at least one contingency
would be well met"
We heartily agree with both OF our
esteemed contemporaries in urging the
necessity for thorough organization
among farmers The strength to be
obtained from this unity Of purpose
and action Is necessary to the accom-
1lishment Of the ends desired.
The suggestions should be followed

GOVERNOR HUGHES no LABoR--Some
Of the labor unions have found fault
with Governor Hughes for not ap-
pointing a labor man to the public
service commission. This Is the gov
ernor's reply to one OF these criti-
cisms:
In making appointments have Sc
lected, Of those available, the men
whom l believe to be best qualified for
the respective positions. In this way
It is. my purpose to protect the proper
interests of members Of labor organ
izations as we'll as those Of other cit-
izens. Recently I appointed to the Of
fee of Commissioner Of Labor John
Williams, who was lndorsed by many
citizens familiar with the needs OF the
department and by numerous labor
organizations, and who, I am informed,
is a member and was once general
president Of the United Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners of America.
appointed him because / was satisfied
Of his fitness for the place. The best
contribution can make to the welfare
Of working men is to secure so far as
possible efficient and impartial admin
istration of government. This Is my
constant aim, and to attain 1t I ap-
point the best men can get and men
who believe will serve the people
faithfully and will be just to all inter-
ests. New York correspondent Phil

-Messrs. John F. and w. s. Gordon
are to form a partnership with Mr..
W. H. Herndon for the continuance of
the grocery and general supply busi-
ness that has been conducted by Mr..

That this will make quite strong
combination, all who know the gentle
men interested will readily agree.
Messrs. B. NJ Moore. w. r. Carroll

dav afternoon elected to fill the three

arrive until Tuesday evening. having
been delayed because of an attack oil
indisposition. In the meantime, how
ever, there had been quite number OF
callers and from the time he was able
to go to work on Wednesday he has
been quite busy. Those who have in

The status Of the voting contest
will be announced again next Tues
day. All names returned and paid fol
up to Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
will be included.
It was very evident in Atlanta this
week that the spinners were not sc
anxious as the farmers for the aboli-
ton of the speculative cotton exchange
system, but this does not argue that
the spinners are afraid that the aboli-
ton of this speculative system would
make prices lower.
The election in Yorkville last Tues
day developed that there are still 9
number Of citizens of this community
who are unable to take part in public
affairs by reason of the neglect Of reg
istration. The man who will not even
qualify himself to vote should moi
complain of unsatisfactory govern
ment.

THERE is no reasonable ground on
which to question the fact that the
southern states have a monopoly of
cotton production, and there is no rea-
sonable ground on which to question
the fact they have never had a great
deal to say about fixing the price of
their product. The reason is very well
understood. Conditions have been
such that they could not do so, and
because they have not been able to
get their fair share of the proceeds of
their labor, the whole world has been
enriched at their expense. There is
now only one thing in the way of
change in the conditions that have
prevailed heretofore. The farmers of
the south must organize from one end
to the other, stick together and stand
for all that should come to them.
