They feel that to continue this policy will pay best and that anything against cotton IS circulated for the purpose of making them sell out. It will take a good deal to change this sentiment, but should anything unexpected occur to bring 1t about, we will have very sharp reaction In the meantime we would not be surprised if we should sell higher still"

 A local merchant planter said yes- terday:
 According to the National Ginners' report last week that 5.3S4,00 bales had been ginned to October IS and the report also that 76.6 percent of the crop had been picked, indicates c short crop. Last year 54.5 per cent had been ginned up to this time. which shows that 25 percent less cotton is to be gathered from now until the end of the picking season"
 .-This coupled with the reduced acre age of four percent means a crop be- bow i1,000.00O bales. The foreign spinners seem to realize the true situa- ffon as the talIings of American cot ton are now 162. 900 bales in excess of last year. The world needs 13. 900. .0aO bales and according to the law of de- mand and supply the price must go higher. If the farmers push their cotton on the market they will simply help the speculators."

Pardon for c. R. Smith.

There is every reason to believe that
in a comparatively short while some
concerted effort will be made or started
by sympathizers with Charles II. Smith,
both on his own account and that of his
daughter, Miss Estelle, to secure his par
don. 1t may not be this year or next, or
ever during the term of the present
executive, but the impression prevails
that the movement for a monster petit
ton will be started during the next five
years, at any rate. The application for
pardon will be based very strongly on
the conflicting features surrounding the
tragedy in which E. A. Laurent lost his
life at the Artesia depot, which were so
much so as to create a very much divId-
ed appellate court, bringing forth from
Chief Justice Whitfield one of the strong
est dissenting opinions which has been
handed down for years.
