Many Walker county farmers are still holding last years cotton, and not a week passes that one does not see bales of the fieecy staple exposed for sale on the public square. Present prices are of course reducing the holdings but some are still independent enough and hopeful enough to hold on for yet a while. One prosperous farmer says he expects to lap his crops for 1907-'0S and sell in a lump. He is game, but then his industry and frugality have made him so.

Wants Mail Delivery.

Decatur has made application to the department at Washington for a free city mail delivery. The city now meets all the necessary requirements. The receipts of the postoffce are several hundred dollars more than the re- quired amount. The streets and side walks of the city now meet all nec- essary requirements of the department and the names of the streets have been posted and the buildings all numb cred It is believed that the free delivery will be ordered to take effect on Octo- Der l, the commencement of the next quarter.
 New Decatur has had free delivery for more than two years. Had the two offices been in one the Decaturs would have doubtless had a government build ing a number of years ago. Certainly 1t is that they would have had free mail delivery. The Decatur postmaster gets a salary of $2200 and the New Decatur postma ster $2300 a year.

Putnam at Hancev1lle last Thursday. It is said that Wepp went to Putnams house with Holland and was present when Holland shot Putnam.

There had been difficulty some weeks be- fore between Holland and Putnam about Hollands books he being mat shal and Putnam city clerk of Hance- vile.

Tariff Adjustment.

President Roosevelt advocates that
provision be made by this congress
for study of the tariff schedules
during the coming summer, to the end
that any unequal or unfair rates may
be amended, or revised, and this is in
accordance with the expressed wishes
of the people in mary states.
This mode of procedure is right and
practical and will tend to satisfy the
American people that no unjust restric-
tions are placed upon hem and that no
undue advantage is given manufacture
ers.
This does not mean, however, that
either the president or congress favor
the abandonment of the protective
spirit in the tariff.-Wausau-Record
Herald.
Well let's see about this. When Pres
ident Roosevelt was free trader, and
before he had decided to be Republi-
lican and free-trader at once, he said:
political economists have pretty
generally agreed that protection is
vicious in theory and harmful in prac-
tice; but if the majority of the people in
interest wish it, and it affects only them
selves, there is no earthly reason why
they shoGld not be allowed 20 try the
The trouble is that it rarely does affect
only themselves; and in 1928 the evil
was peculiarly aggravated on account
OF the unequal way in which the pro-
posed law would affect different Sec
tions 1t purported to benefit the rest
of the country, but it undoubtedly
worked real injury to the planter states
and there is small ground for wonder
that the irritation over it should have
been intense" (Roosevelts, Life of
Benton p. 67.)
Ga 1928, the tariff, whether it bene-
fitted the country as q whole, or not,
unquestionably harmed the South; and
in Federal Union it is most unwise to
pass laws which shall benefit one part
of the country to the hurt of another
part, when the latter receives no COM
pensation. The truculent and unyield-
ing attitude of the extreme protection
lists was irritating in the extreme; for
cooler men than the South Carolinians
might we'll have been exasperated at
such an utterance as that of Henry
Clay, when he stated that for the sake
of the American system-by which title
he was fond of styling n doctrine al
ready ancient in medieval times-he
would defy the South, the President,
and the devil" (Roosevelt's Life. OF
Benton" p. 90)
"Clay's assertions as TO what the
tariff had done for the West were ill.,
founded, as Benton showed in good
speech, wherein he described pictur-
csquely enough the industries and gen.
eral condition of the country, and as
serted with truth that its revived pros
perity was due to its own resources,
entirely independent of Federal aid or
legislation. He said; i do not think
we are indebted to the high tariff for
our fertile lands and our navigable
rivers. and am certain we are indebted
to these blessings for the prosperity we
enjoy " (Roosevelt's Life of Benton"
p. 9i,)
MIR. Roosevelt has written nothing
distinctly and unequivocally stating his
position since he withdrew from the
Free Trade Club;

NOTWITHSTANDING the attacks of the
Eastern press upon the candidacy of
Vim. j. Bryan and the establishment of
the Gov. johnson bureau in Chicago
and the Judge Gray bureau in Wash
ington, it is reasonably sure that Mr..
Bryan will be Nominated at Denver
next July on the first ballot. Even the
hardest sort of work and mastery or
ganization cannot defeat him.
Already he has 155 delegates either
instructed for him or from states that
have endorsed him in state convention.
To this is to be added total of 500 del
egates which will be favorable TO Bryan
when elected. A total of 657 delegates
is thus shown. The states opposed to
Bryan and the doubtful states furnish
32l delegates. The chances are ten to
one that he will receive two-thirds
from the doubtful states if not more.
All this talk and effort to defeat Bryan
is waste of money and energy-Mani-
