EDITORIAL COMMENT.

We are in receipt of the December
number of the Local Guide in which
the editor goes to show that the talk
of the union buying out the Advocate
is injuring us. which in a measure Is
true as it might cause some of the
membership to wait few weeks be-
fore subscribing.
We are advised in the article that
we have nothing to sell and suppose
we were measured by the only yard
stick at hand, 'The Guide"
AS to our good name, which has
been cut in two by some disinterested
parties by referring to US as Semi
OFFICIAL Organ" and as to the move
ment on foot at the last quarterly
meeting, to have the official cloak
shifted to another union paper which
did not materialize we nave nothing
to say; still the gum shoe campaign
may be on foot. We trust we merit
the support of the union and we ap-
preciate the words of commendatiOn
expressed Dy the NrulQ0 duu DIS IuC
Guide speaks up for anything WE
CAN'T GET, we respectfully refer all
delinquent subscribers; who are SO far
in arrears, that it would be like pay
ing for two years's subscription at
once to square up and renew, to the
next union paper with the nerve to
tackle them.
We admire the spirit shown in Bro.
Herrington's first issue of The Local
Guide. He says that every county
should have a paper correct. He
claims that we need education cor
rect again. He says that all the pro-
ceedings Of the state executive board
and reports of officers should be pub
lished correct third time. He says,
in several places in his neat little
sheet, that there should be no axes to
grind and no backbiting exceedingly
correct
The Advocate welcomes our brother
The Local Guide in the labor Of
love. Hand in hand we will pull to-
gether for unionism.

much per acre as usual. Let US get to
work Let us quit talking hard times.
A cheerful face. a light heart, strong
arm and win to work will conquer
any difficulty.
Let us think sensibly about this mat
ter, the damage and danger is more
imaginary than real.

THE SOUTHERN COTTON ASSO-
CATION.

AS Mr. Jordan at the Memphis meet
ing formulated plans for another new
organization, the presumption is that
the S. G. A. is defunct and / am re-
minded of the epitaph on the baby,
IF so soon you're to be done for,
what on earth were you begun for" It
started out with flying colors blowing
Of horns and fiuorish of trumpets. It
took in the butcher and the baker and
the candlestick-maker without regard
to race, color or previous condition
with the result that it died q bornin'.
we win now sing the doxology and be

New York, Jan. pa few stocks were
strong to-day and few We're weak. The
rest of the market was duh and all OF it
professional Taken as a whole, the ses-
sion was as uninteresting as that OF the
preceding day and the best thing about
it was that it ended at noon. instead OF
dragging its slow length along tin p. m,
Northern Pacific was, as it had been on
Friday one OF the strongest stocks on the
list, its strength serving to counteract in
no small degree the depressing effect of
the general market Of the weakness IN

Northern Pacific was such as 10

ii large extra distribution of cash 10 the
stockholders Of the road sometime in the

Informed quarters the view taken of this
matter was that the time of making the
distribution would depend upon the gen
.eraI business situation. and that in any
event nothing Of the kinG would be done
until financial affairs became entirely
cleared up.
The latest version Of TIE Northern Pa
cific extra-dividend story is that the dis
uibution will be as much as 20 per cent
on the stock, but as the source from
which IL is 10 be drawn was foreshadoWed
