NOTHING BUT LONG
STAPLE IS GROWN
Troy Holder Plants it to Exclu-
sion Of Others.

Mr. Troy Holder, one of the repres
entative citizens of Stewart county
and large planter, was among the
visitors in Americas yesterday. Speak
ing of crop conditions in his prosper
out county Mr.. Holder said that not
a few farmers were turning attention
to long staple cotton. He has plant
ed it for several years, and so we'll
pleased is he with results that the en-
tire cotton crop on his plantation
this year is long staple varieties, and
the crop is a good one too. Mr.. Hold
er sells his long staple cotton for
fifty per cent. greater price than
the short staple brings, and as the
yield is as much per acre the wisdom
of his plan of planting is quite appar-
ent Today short staple cotton of
best variety is worth II Is cents,
while the long staple brings 10 to
10 cents.

HUNDREDS ADMIRED
HANDSOME DISPLAY

The attraction of greatest interest
yesterday were the display windows
of the Pinkston Co., dressed for the
first time in the fashionable fabrics
of the season. The windows, sixty
feet in length were indeed gorgeous
in newest fall creations artistically
arranged by Mr. Viquesney and under
numerous electric lights were most
effective. Even last night, despite the
inclement weather, many ladies came
down to admire the windows.

TRUSTS OR SOCIALISM! WHICH!

Hon. Charles Emory Smith, editor
Of the Philadelphia Press, formerly
Observation-Disclosures and minister to
Russia, addressed the bankers at the
Atlantic City convention on the trusts.
He declared that they must be brought
to an end. If it is not done rampant
socialism and social explosion will
be the consequences of neglect. There
is a wide and deep public sensitive
ness on this point, that is swiftly
swelling into a food that canot be
checked. Said Mr.. Smith:
Men criticise movements for the
sanitation of business life, but the
time has come when a choice must
be made between checking the evils
with which our distended and inflated
organizations are growing more and
more menacing, and leaving them to
run unchecked under the wild eX
cesses of purblind magnates, until
there shall be a popular explosion
and the portents of a lawless social
ism. The time has come to call
halt, and the President of the United
States, who had the courage to sound
a warning and put on the brakes,
has rendered the highest public SER
vice, not merely to the people. but to
capital and to the corporations them
selves"

NOT INTERESTED in CONSUMERS

Thp Atlanta Constitution wants to

WHAT WILL HOUSEKEEPERS Do
THEN!

Housekeepers think of it. Fifty
cent butter is predicted, and along
with it, of course, will come forty
cents a dozen eggs. Where will you
be then?
The butter trust is getting in it's
deadly work, and the signs of an adj
vancing market under it's maneuvers
are to be seen. The summer has been
a bad one for the COWS, the trust
says, and the consumers must pay
the penalty. The egg trust has gath
cred up its millions of eggs, the sum-
mer has been a poor one for the hens,
and the consumer must be mulcted.
It has been a bad season, it would
seem, for everything and everybody
but the trusts.
The Washington Post says that
behind the movement that put the kill
ing tax on olemargarine was not
so much the farmers as the magnates
who control the butter supply and
markets. They bluffed congressman
into believing otherwise. Now they
have the situation in their hands.
Oleomargarine was not unpalatable,
was not unhealthful, and it helped to
kepe the trust from running butter
up to fifty cents pound
This is a great cOuntry-for every
body but the consumers of necessi-
ties.

What of the Future?

Said MIR. Ingalls,, in part:
THE real question that troubles us
is, what of the future? And here
am inclined to be optimistic; not
that | think for an instant that the
rate of increase for the past five years
can go on for the next five; neither
should we wish it. The railroads
would be swamped with business, the
factories would be forced to work
overtime, and the banks could not
take care of their demands, but there
is a vast difference between this wild
excited state of ever-increasing bust
ness and a steady continued progress
sion where each and every one has
what his facilities enable him to do
comfortably, where labor is well en-
ployed, and yet not so crowded but
what it can give good service and
fair results. Let us look at some Of
the things that have happened late
" which would lend strength to this
conclusion. First of all we might
consider the sale of New York City
bonds as the turning point in our
finances. 1t is true that they sold at
a high rate of interest. Every one
knows that with the demands that
are on the capital of this country such
a large sale, even with the credit of
a city as good as New York, would de-
mand high interest One of the good
things about the high rate of interest
for city bonds which will spread all
over the country, is that it will tend
to make our city officers more care
full in their expenditures. The people
viii watch and criticize the same
more, and thereby the extravaganza
of municipal expenditures will be
checked, and it is time they were
checked for they have outrun all
reason.
