On the way across the Atlantic last
Mark Twain was asked his
opinion of prohibition, by Q woman pas
senger. The reply was characteristic
ally humorous. though somewhat
.evasive. He said:
II am a friend OF temperance. ana
want 1t to succeed. but I don't think
prohibition is practical. I am sorry to
learn that they have just invented q
method Of making brandy out OF saw
dust. Now what chance will prohibit
ton have when a man a take a rip
saw and go out and get drunk with q
fence rail? What Is the good of pro-
hibition II a man is able to make
brandy smashes out of the shingles on
his roof. or II he can get delirium ire
mems by drinking the legs of the kitch-
en- chairs?"

Up the Cotton

Rome, Ga, May 20.-Determin
ed to reduce the acreage of cotton
in the south, and thus forward
their campaign to raise the price
of the staple, the members of the
Farmers Union are blowing up ten
per cent. of all cotton planted
earlier in the season. This plan
has been urged upon all members
of the union in every state
in the south. That the members
of Floyd county union are carry
ing out the instructions from head
quarters is assured by W. J. Walk
er, officer of the local union.
Mr.. Walker states that the farm
ers in Vann's Valley neighborhood
have already plowed up the ad-
viscd per centage of their crop and
other parts OF the county are tax
ing similar action. The land that
is being plOwed up is being replan
ted in peas and corn and the patri-
otto members of the union who are
taking these measures feel assured
of the success of the plan The
movement is something entirely
new in the history of the warfare
for higher prices and seems destin-
ed to be successful. At any rate
