The business farmer will conduct
his operation like any other business
man. There is a good reason why the
south should hold cotton for higher
prices. The whole crop is not needed
by the mills in three months and some
one must hold it is needed. We
think it will pay the south to hold
it and give it to the world as it is
needed at fare value.
The first item that merchant or
manufactures would consider would
be the cost Of store and stock, or man
ufacturing plant; then the cost Of
operation, plus the services Of the
manager, plus a profit, would de
termine the price at which the article
of commerce or manufacture should
be sold. Is not the farmer entitled
to just as much? There has never
been in the history of this country il
we except the civil war period, a time
when the price of everything that is
needed for the making Of crop of cot
ton was higher than at the present
time. The price of live stock, the
price of grain, hay, labor, all are al

Having before us the Associated
Press report Of the American Bank
ers' Association convening at Denver
where they adopted resolutions against
the Guaranty Of Bank Deposits and
Postal Savings now being agitated
throughout the county. To me it looks
like they would have accepted one
and rejected the other and it is a.
weak argument to say the guaranty
law would be revolutionary because
that is just what we want, to revolu-
tionize the banking system. While we
think that the postal savings idea is be-
ing agitated before the voters it is the
most pernicious piece of foolishness
for the south and west that was ever
brought to the attention of the public.
We are now being dictated to by fed
eral authorities on every side, in the
courts on our railroad trains, our riv-
ers, our birds and soon the air we
breathe will be under supervision of
the federal government. A few months
ago our llulSIOuSa sJOS DdlAOJ, INV "
Texas, and Standard Oil fame, made
a great speech to show what he had
done for Texas. Why he arranged to
have the Pullman sleeping cars placed
under the interstate commission and
in a few weeks there was great big fat
greasy niggers riding right through
Texas for 500 miles at a stretch in
cars with white ladies and possibly in
the same section.
We have been talking about ways
and means for prosperity Now
wouldn't we be a set Of idiots to take
what few pennies we could save and
put them in the postal bank and have

top prices, and have been for more
than year; every commodity under
the sun is relatively higher than cot
ton, and the planter of cotton of pro
duction is going backwards, putting
himself in debt to make clothes for
others.
During the cotton season of 1906
1907, cotton reached the highest price
we had seen since the year 1876, bar
ring the season of 19O3-19O4, when
the market advanced to over 16 cents
per pound for middling cotton, under
conditions that nearly every one in
terested in cotton is familiar with,
conditions which forbid using that
year as a fair example in an argu-
ment for higher prices, for in that
year was raised one of the smallest
of the crops OF. recent years. following
the carrying over from the season be-
fore al very small visible supply. In.
the season of 19O6-19O7, we have a
normal condition of trade to reckon
with, the second largest crop on re-
cord, crop of 13,540O0O bales, with
a visible supply from the previous sea.
son Of $4,000 bales. In that year
there were taken for foreign and do
mestic mills 12,967OO bales, leaving
a surplus at the end Of the year Of
| 1,285,00O bales, visible supply The
highest price reached was at the very
end Of the season, when the trade
] knew that there was a surplus men
toned, indicating that there was, and
lis, an actual need for that much cot
ton to be carried as a surplus stock.
Statistics show an increase of con-
sumption that more than keeps pace
with the production Of cotton, and we
have passed the day when eleven mil
lion bales is considered a normal crop;
more likely is it that we need a crop
of thirteen millions, and anything un-
4 der this means short crop. Last
year, in spite of the miserable trade
conditions, the mills took 11,800,000
bales of cotton, and it takes but a
ten per cent increase over these
figures, apparently an absurdly low
estimate, to bring the amount needed
to over 100000 bales. Now, after
the bad weather and the setbacks
that the cotton plant has suffered in
the last few weeks, it is not likely
that we will have crop anywhere
i approaching such figures, and there
will be a consequent shortage Of sup
n ply. The present price of cotton is
too low. There should be marketed
only enough to supply the actual de-
mands of consumers.

Founded by Miners.
Both cities were founded by miners.
Denver was started in 1853, just a half
century ago. johannesburg dates back
only to 1886. The land about both cities
was considered almost worthless until
the mines were discovered. The ground
upon which New York stands was once
sold for a half-peck of glass beads and
brass buttons. the site of t--,ourne w2s
bought for pair OF old blankets and the
foundation of all Chicago was offered for
a pair OF cowhide boots. In early days
there was a 2OOO-acre farm on the site
of Johannesburg. and 1t was sold for a
team of broken-down oxen. Today the
land and buildings which stand on that
farm are assessed at about quarter of
million dollars. and from 1t goes out
more than one hundred million dollars
worth of gold every year In January,
1905, two business lots, not far from
where that farmers hut stood brought
$4,000. and ii is only four years since

The johannesburg of Today.
The Johannesburg of today is made OF
steel stone and wood. 1t has many five
and six story structures, although the
skyscrapers of Denver are absent. 1t Is
not as we'll built as Denver. but 1t is a
magnificent city considering its source of
supplies and that it is away off here in
the wilds The town has just about the
same population as Denver. 1t numbers
about 1J0oG0 souls, but 10000 of these are
blacks made up of kdffirS from all parts
of South Africa
Johannesburg is laid out somewhat like
Denver. Its streets generally cross each
other at right angles. and they run far
out into the country. There are something
like 300 miles of roadways. and the town
altogether has municipal area of more
than eighty square miles. There are town
lots far out in the country and enough
streets have been planned to accommo-
date the growth of the next 100 years.
Denver has good a street car system
as any city of its size In the world. Its
electric lines cover every part of the
municipality and reach far into the coun-
try beyond. Johannesburg has about the
best car system of South Africa, and the
lines belong to the municipality. l I'M
derstand that they pay well and leave a
big profit every year in the city treasury.
The street cars are all double-deckers.
