SAYS THIS is FARMERS nay.
Senator Smith Expects Cotton to Go
to Famine Prices.

Florence, S. c., Oct. 30.-United
States Senator e. D. Smith Is In re-
ceipt of letter from Statistician r..
l.. Neal, with advance sheets of a
circular to be sent out, showing that
the most careful estimates of the
cotton crop this year indicate q pos
sible crop of 10,520,000 bales, agree
ing with recent estimate issued by
Senator Smith.
From exporters, Senator Smith
learns that 1t Is expected If the gov
eminent report on cotton, issued
next week, confirms private advices,
cotton will be bound to reach famine
prices. Speaking of the recent cur
tailment of production by the mills,
the Senator to-day said:
"The curtailment by the mills Is
not because Of the high price of the
staple, nor the depression in the
price of goods, but because the spin
ners see that there Is not to be cotton
enough to keep the mills busy until
the next crop, and shutting down
is inevitable. They make g. conven-
ience of necessity now in the hope
such action will depress cotton. while
they buy greedily wherever they can,
despite their agreement.
The farmers now have an oppor-
tunity to see how corporations stick
TO their organization when business
interests demand individual action,
just as was the case with the farmer
when he rushed his cotton to mar
ket, to their amusement, despite the
farmers organization.
"This is now the farmers day,
thank God"

Soma Valuable Ston !

The Emperor Francis JosS h owns
the F1oTentine, which has a. event
ful history. To the King of Portugal
belongs the Star OF the South, valued
at &3,0o0,o0e; while in the Russian
sceptre Is the oFlof which once
adorned q Brahmin idol, says Home
Chat.
Such stones as these are so large
that they are practically unstable.
No one person is rich enough to pur-
chase them. Again the expense of
cutting Is enormous. The Cullinan
diamond will require at least s10, ,00e
TO be spent on it for this alone. Even
then, the gem now 1924 carats, will
weigh some 1900 carats. while the
sections cut away will themselves
form valuable stones, ranging from
twenty carats downward.
