Cotton Census Bureaus Report.

The census report on cotton ginned
up to October IS, of this years crop
aggregates 6, ,2s3, 7sO bales. Up to the
same date for the four years previous,
1907, 1906, 1905 and 1904, 4,42O, ,258; +;
4.931 1921; 1890, 500, and 6, All. .s94 were
ginned respectively.
Comparison of the above figures
show that bales ginned in 1904, only,
exceed the figures of the present
year, while those ginned in the same
period of the other three years are
considerably under.
Taking into consideration the ex-
ceptional weather that has prevailed
this year for gathering and hauling
cotton to the gins, and comparing it
with weather conditions prevailing in
1904, the conclusion is easily reached
that the 1905 crop viii not be nearly
so large as the crop of 1904.
The prognostication of some OF the
most accurate cotton crop estimators
in the country, that less than II, 900,
600 bales will be produced this year,
is strongly borne out by present de-
velopments.
That cotton should now be selling
for less than ten cents a pound is d
problem that spectators only seem
to have solved for the country.

Read Sure.

Because the President is elected
by an electoral majority and not by
popular majority, operates to
make numerous good citizens indif-
ferent in casting their votes in
States safely in the colmun of their
political convictions. For instance
mississippi is overwhelmingly
democratic, and whether by one or
ten thousand popular majority, the
ten electoral votes would count for
Bryan. Many good Democrats, view
ing the matter from that point
alone, would conclude that the cast
ing of their vote would be imma-
terial, and allow any interference
to keep them away from the polls.
The casting Of every vote is not as
immaterial as it would appear un-
der any circumstances. While Il
President may he elected without
receiving a popular majority, as in
the case of Hayes in 1876 and Har-
rison in 1888, yet a popular ma

jority always adds greatly to the ad-
ministratiOn of the elected .candi-
date, and enables him to exercise
governmental powers with greater
influence. The administrations Of
those Presidents, who served with
the popular majority against them
are characterized by insipidity and
weakness, and their names glow
less on the pages of history than
those of their more fortunate COM
peers.
A majority President does not fit
the contemplation of constitution
al government, and should not ac-
oording 20 the Democratic idea, for
a majority OF the people Of a COM
mon country should rule, regard
less of in what political subdivision
they reside.
Mr.. Bryan, We understand, does
not desise TO become President. ex-
cept by a popular as we'll as an
electoral majority.
Next Tuesday is the day upon
which Democracy viii engage in
exhalting him to that position.
We want his popular majority to
be the largest ever in the history of
a President. Your vote will count
>as much in swelling that ma ajority
as any man in the country.
SO don't forget to turn out next
Tuesday and vote for Bryan.

Gov. Wilson's Charge.

GOV Wilson OF Kentucky, in
speech delivered at Fulton.
Kentucky, the other day, charged
the Farmers Union with being re-
sponsible for night riding. We do
not know what Gov. Wilson meant
by use of the word responsible.
Whether he insinuated that the
Farmers Union aided and abetted
night riding, or whether he meant
that the organization Of farmers to
promote their own interests gave
undue stimulus to an element that
emphasized itself i'm lawlessness and
murder. The Governor should
make himself plain on this point,
as no one with grain Of sense,
who is familiar with the mber-
ship that composes the Farmers
Union, would believe for a moment
that night riding and that order
have any connection whatever.
The Farmers Union includes in its
mem bership, in this section, the
best citizens Of the country, and
any reflection upon the tenets of an
order that claims them as its vo-
taries is a reflection, on them,

tory az a Precautionary
Measure.

Owing to the fact that the United
States Government has called atten
ton to the fact that uninspected cat
tie have been brought into Maury
county from below the quarantine
line, jeopardizing the interests Of this
county, the County Board Of Health
has taken drastic action. The Board
met just before noon today and unan.
imously adopted an order inhibiting
the Importation of any cattle into
Maury county from below the line.
This applies to all cattle, whether in.
spected or not. Not only that the
order provides that no cattle shall be
brought to the county which have been
in any affected territory during the
past twelve months.
The members of the county Board
realize the Importance Of keeping
Maury county above the line and they
are going to leave nothing undone
that will keep 1t there. Placing the
county below the line would mean a
loss of thousand of dollars every year
to the cattle interests and to guard
against this members of the Board
state that every violation Of the law

ROCK IS AGAIN
IN GOOD DEMAND
MARKET FOR PHOSPHATE IS
AGAIN OPENING UP
RAPIDLY.
Independent Company Receives In
skrucfIons 70 Begin Opera.
tions at Once.

1t is more than gratifying to the
phosphate people of Maury county to
learn that there is decided improve
ment in the market for phosphate
rock T. M. Anderson, treasurer OF
the Independent Phosphate Co., of
this city, in an interview today stated
that the market in the South was
opening up rapidly, and that the out
look was good. Mr.. Anderson stated
that his company here had received
orders from headquarters at Buffalo,
NJ Y, to begin at once operations at
all the company's mines, which means
that between four and five hundred
men will be put to work in the three
mines of the company now opened up
-Seleta, Satterfield and Estes Bend
mines.
Mr. Anderson said that 1t depended
altogether on the Cotton Growers
Association Of the South as to the
phosphate industries in this country
as fully rs per cent of the commercial
fertilizers used in this country are
used by them. The cotton growers
are getting good prices for their cot
ton" said he, land they do not hest
tate now to close contracts with the
fertilizer people for large supplies OF
the commercial fertilizer"
Mr.. Anderson said that the indie
pendent people were going ahead with
the preparations toward the opening
up of their large field in the blue rock
district at Centreville ana that as soon
as they could reach the field by rail |
that there would be work for several
men.
When asked what he thought Of the
phosphate situation as q whole, he
spoke as being much gratifed with
the outlook. and said that II was only
q matter OF a very short time before
MI the mines in the Mt. Pleasant dis /
trict would be running at full blast,
rs II there never had been anything
he matter with the finances OF the
country.
