and colicky mules are disgrace.
No other agricultural product is
as abused as cotton. 1t Is improperly
covered, improperly cared for, and
there is not a train out Of New Or
leans from whose car windows you
cannot see picked cotton lying out
overnight exposed to weather, bales
of cotton lying on the ground or
under tree, or in a puddle Of wa
ter, with cheap bagging rotting and
cotton daily being damaged. Such
planters don't deserve the name Of
cotton farmer. They are merely cot
ton producers.
Most business men or professional
men will average at least 275
working days a year. On the prop
critics under my control last season
the greatest time any tenant actually
worked in the fields was 146 days,
the least time 112 days, and the
average 1873 days, or less than one
half the time put in by the merchant
or professional man. 1t was either
too hot or too cold, too wet or too
dry, or any old excuse to keep out
Of the field.
"The Northern farmer works twice
as hard as we do and under great
disadvantages, and to the full appre-
ciates the old motto: The Lord
helps those who help themselves
"Quit resolving and resoluting.
Get to work. Diversity your crop.
Raise good stock. Get your Con-
gresham to send you the latest Gov.
ernment bulletins. Get the best seed.
Raise what you can at home. Above
all, get out Of debt. Stay out of
debt, and then hold your products
until you get value for them, and
the whole world, instead Of con-
demning, will applaud your wis

THIEF CUT GLASS
And Made Away With q Jar Com
tanning Money.

Dublin, Ca, Nov. 2S.-A bold
burglary was committed last night.
or early this morning in the city.
In one Of the large plate-glass wind
ows of the hardware store of the
Gilbert Hardware Company, a round
opening about three feet in diam
eter was cut and a jar containing
$50 or $50 in denominations from a
penny to a silver dollar was stolen.
The jar was put into the window
by the firm and the customers were
allowed to guess the amount Of mon
ey it contained. The burglars evil
IDENTIFY used a diamond or steel cut
ter, and they were experts in their
line. Marks are seen in the window
on the opposite side of the store
front showing that an effort must
have been made also to take out the
plate glass on that side.
Officers Rowland and Chavous %
the police force discovered the bur-
glary a few minutes after 3 o'clock
this morning. There is not the
slightest clue as to the identity OF
the burglars.

OVER TWELVE MILLION BALES
Commissioner Watson Estimates Cot.
ton Crop Of 1908.

The cotton crop of 1908 will
amount to 12,551,0SS bales, accord
ing to the estimate made by Com.
missioner Watson, Of South Carolina
as chairman of the cotton commit
tee OF the Southern States Associa.
tion Of Commissioners Of Agriculture
and Other. Agi icultural Workers. III
announcing the estimate, Mr.. Watson
says:
"Our estimates, which is based On
telegraphic reports received from all
the States save Georgia, whose com
missioner is absent from the State,
dated November 19, and on the gin
ners' reports OF November IA, is 49,:
l551,OS6 running bales, excluding
linters. This conclusion Is reached
after due allowance for the weather
and other crop conditions for, 1908.
Were the estimate based entirely on
amount of cotton ginned to Noven:.
Der IA, in years when same ginners
results "GlS SuO"ub LuO 1.-Two SiOI
would be 13,49S,S79 bales. But con
ditions have not been the same in
the various years.
"Were we to take the average
amount of cotton for the past fou:
seasons to be ginned after November
IA, we would have to add 3,7O4,157
bales. to the 9,63O,563 bales already
ginned, and get total crop of 49,
334,157 bales. If we add to the
amount already ginned in 1908 the
amount ginned after November ID
in 1905, to which year 1908 con-
ditions closely correspond, we will
have a total crop for this year OF
12,632,925 bales which, it is seen
closely approximates the estimate OF
12,552,OS6 bales that the Assocla
tons committee considers fall
one"

VOTED i FOR TAFT
BUT THEIR WAGES WE'RE NOT
RAISED.
According to Promise. and Then
Shot Down by Deputy SherifSs Be-
. cause They Struck About 1t.


Perth Amboy, N. j., Nov. 81
Following pitched Eattle between
700 strikers and twelve deputy sher-
ifs Wednesday at the factory I
the National Firepsooflng Company
at Keasbey, near here in which siA
of the strikers were shot down,
Governor J. Franklin Fort dispatch
ed four companies of the Stlte
National Guard at Trenton to the
scene to make the men behave them
selves.
A feeling of intense excitement
prevails, as the strikers declaree the
deputy sheriffs were not justified iii
firing upon them. Two of the wound
ed men are dying here, and the four
others wounded are painfully hurt.
The citizens fear for the
morrow, when the strikers threaten
an attack on the plant Of the National
tIreprOonnS company.
For two days there has been r!n'-
ing at Keasbey, and a number of
manufacturing towns along :he
Raritan. river. Two weeks ago the
men employed by the Raritan River
Clay Company went on strike for
higher wages. They marched to the
plant Of the Perth Amboy Fire
Brick Company and induced the men
there to go out.
Then each succeeding day the
strikers constantly increased in
number, marched to other towns to
induce employees to leave their
work. The strikers say that they
were given to understand before the
election that il Taft was elected thell
pay would be restored to $3.50 day.
It now is s1.35. The officials of The
factories deny that such a prom ise
was made.
When Chief of Police Burke sent
a man to bring lunch to the deputies
the latter was met with a shower Of
stones, compelling him to retreat.
The man succeeded later in leaving
the factory unohseryed and secured
the food. AS he was returning one
of the strikers. caught sight of him
and Immediately there was general
attack. The man was not injured
Then began bombardment /, OF
stones, during which ioarly. every
window In. the factory wss' smashed.
Chief Burke says that, two of his
men were struck, by missiles and
slightly, injured. He restrained his
men from opening fire until the last
minute, he declares. Matters had
become so serious. that the deputies
were compelled to open fire to pro-
tect themselves, he further says.
At least dozen Of the shots were
fired point black at the strikers and
six men fell. The strikers did not
return the fire. The workmen turn
ed and fed, leaving the wounded on
the ground. There was only tenn
porary lull in the rioting. The
strikers soon returned to the factory.
They kept at distance, but it was
evident they were angered by the
shooting down Of their comrades.

YOUNG NEGRO MAN WROTE IN.
DECENT LETTER -
To a Young White Lady and Is
Taken From Jail and is Operated

Upon.
A special dispatch from Spartan
burg to the Charleston Evening
Post says Will Dickson, a young ne.
gro man of Madison, Oconee county
was arrested on the charge of writ
ing an offensive and indecent, letter
to young lady, the daughter of a
well known banker Of Westminster,
was made away with; by party of
men Friday night.
The negro has been taken from
the guard house, where he was con-
fined at Westminster by unknown
parties, who with the negro then
Immediately Disappeared, and there
is much speculation as to what was
done with the :flen4. Everything
about the affair was done decently
and in order, says the dispatch, but
with great secrecy.
1t was reported at first that the
scoundrel, had been lynched, and
then it was reported that after being
taken out of the guard house and
carried to place Of secrecy deli
cate operation was performed on
him, after which ne was told to leave
the town, which he lost no time in
doing. Where he went or what has
become of the rascal no one knows,
or if they know they won't tell.
The only thing certain about the
affair is that the negro who wrote
the letter was caught and that he
was taken out Of the guard house
by force and that his whereabouts
is unknown except to those who
took him out of the guard house.
1t seems that they first thought of
lynching the scoundrel, but finally
decided that an operation would be
more effective, and that mode OF
punishment was adopted and carried
out.
