Patent Medicine Advertisements Civ

Not whiskey advertisements but
the advertisements of patent medi-
cine houses. which have long been
advertised in this paper. We did not
cut them out because they refused to
pay, nor because they did not want
TO continue with MS. but because We
do not feel that they are entitled 70
a better rate than the local mer-
chants The patent medicine houses
have begun TO think that the country
newspapers are published for their
convenience and that they should
have their advertisements inserted
for about one.half the rate the local
men get. but the publishers of this
paper do not see ii in that light.
The Gadsden County Times is pub
hshed for the people OF Quincy anc

vertisements will ever, hereafter. ne

FIFTEEN CENT COTTON

The National Farmers Union has
fixed the price OF fifteen cents per
pound for this years cotton crop.
This has a pleasant sound, and means
increased prosperity for southern
farmers
But when the farmers band together
for The purpose of fixing and cuntrOll-
ing prices in what particular do they
differ from the beef growers, or oil
producers, or biscuit manufacturers,
who band together with the same Ob.
jeCts in view?
We are glad that it is possible for
the Southern cotton growers to get
nfteen cents for cotton. and wish that
they could get even more, for charity
begins at home. hut why blame 9th
ers for banding together and CONTROL
ing prices for their particular pro
ducts?
Why should the mote in the cotton
growers eye become a beam in The
eyes of other producers?
Millions are dependent on cotton Il
clothe their bodies. Ii is one of th'
great necessaries of life. and while
the increase in the price of the staple

ers, to the consumers all over tn,
world it will be prOpOrtiOnately bur
