In comparison with the above
statement, made by the auditors,
some figures from the last quarterly
report Of the state dispensary board,
made on January 3, 1907, will be Of
interest, as follows:

at $59,997.3O, as per inventory Of
November 80, 1906.
Merchandise (stock in state dis
pensary, as per inventory of Novem-

The other figures in the quarter

First. Whether the issue Of GER
tifcates of Indebtedness bearing 8
per cent interest, bids for which
were invited by the Secretary Of the
Treasury November IS, 1907, were
for the purpose Of borrowing money
to "meet public expenditures as
provided by Section 80 Of the Act
approved June Is, 1899, and If not,
whether there is any warrant Of law
for the issue Of said certificates.
Second. Whether the issue Of $780,
100000 Of bonds Of the Panama Can
al loan, bids for which were called
for by the Secretary Of the Treasury
on November 18, 1907, was required
to "defray the expenditures on said
canal, there being at the time whea
both of these loans were made up
wards Of $1OO,OOO,OO0 in the treas
ury for current expenditures
Third. Whether any Legislation
is necessary to protect the people
and business interests Of the cou1-
try from the issue Of unlawful mon
ey, if Clearing House certificates are
such, and to prevent the illegal in
crease Of the public debt in time OF
peace.
The second series Of resolutions
directs the finance committee to
Investigate and report to the SEN
ate as soon as practicable' on the
following points:
First. Whether Clearing House
certificates with which the country
is now flooded have been issued un-
der authority Of law, or contrary to
the same.
Second. Whether the issuing OF
such certificates by an association
Of banks, both state and national.
and the use Of the same as money
subjects such certificates or notes to
the tax Of ten per ce1tum, provided
in Section 3,412, United States Re
vised Statutes.
Third. Whether it would be per
missibl,, under the law as it is, tor
an association Of banks, ware houses
and elevators to issue certificates
based on cotton, wheat and tobacco,
store it in such ware houses and ele-
vators and fully insured, to be
used as money in marketing said
crops in the same way as Clearing

Panic Proof.

Financial panics may come in all
their force, destruction and woe,
Sieet, snow, winter rains and fierce
storms may blow,
But the farmer who grows his
farm supplies at home, can sit still,
live off Of his home made supplies
whilst ne may wait for these pestil-
ential storms to pass away without
even entering his gate.
Credit is something like an edged
tool, if you use it too much in rough
places it will become dull. Low pric-
ed cotton and high-priced fertilizer
notes, corn, flour, bacon and other
bills are rough things to think about
in this connection.
Cheer up, farmers, all You that
are feeling blue, just 60 and call on
some real good farmer who has plen-
ty Of home grown supplies at his
house and watch him go right along,
working, eating, feeding his animals
on home stuff and attending to MS
now affairs just the same as if a
New York Panic had not come to
pass.
That is the kind of farmer that is
worthy Of the name, "Independent
farmer.'

Our Cotton Letter.

All We that have a comfortable
seat on your cotton just sit still and
wait, for the game has been won just
so soon as the count is in and tae
chaps get the cash to pay in.
That bluff that has been passing
the rounds in the papers about the
Texas merchants reSoluEing about
not furnishing cotton growers more
supplies unless they sign contract
to turn their cotton loose just as
soon as the cotton is einned, sounds
like a grower was just being made to
sell his cotton anyway, whether he
paid his bills or not. The selling of
the cotton is the main point in that
bluff.
It is now in order for the Texas
farmers to get together and pass re-
solutions not to sign away themsel
yes to any such a proposition of
slavery as these merchants offer
them. But on the contrary to pass
resolutions to pin their faith and
business to those that have proven
themselves to be friends to farmers
in this trying hard fight and stick
to your friends that have stood by
YOU in this the toughest fight for
right that the southern farmer has
ever won, ani win he will.
Our Way Out Of It.
We had better cut acreage in cot
ton next year than to undertake a
large crop again, which is sure to
weaken your strength by growing
more cotton than you are able to
hold for profitable prices.
Never once think you can grow
more cotton than the trade will be
eager for at profitable prices to the
grower and load up with an over
production Of unsaleable cotton at
profitable prices, unless you are one
among the rare class of farmers tnat
are able to put in the necessary addi-
tional capital to grow another crop
while you carry over this surplus or
Improbable crop for better prices!
. Commence now and prepare your
selves for trouble again next year in
another form. Be on the safe side
and never again bind yourselves over
under the burden Of debt that ties
your liberty and freedom in the
hands Of your enemies. Do not un-
d5rtake the job of acting the fool
yourself and then expect some one
else to pay for it.
