TWELVE and A half CENT COTTON
Predicted by Atlanta Constitution Cor
FeSDOldent-GiVeS Reasons.

| The following letter vi Nblisbed
| in recent issue of. ~, Atlanta. con-
stitution. We publish it. believing
that it will interest a large number
of our readers:
! Editor Constitution: Cotton is
now selling below the cost of pro-
duction. As business tip to spin
ners and consumers, l would advise
them to load up right now with all
they can hold.
From the present outlook tie
staple is going to II 1.2 cents or
higher this summer aud next fall,
and it is going there to stay! No
amount of manipulation can bring
it down.
And these are the reasons:
We have had the worst and wet
test spring in eighteen or twenty
years. The ground is moist and
soft. Farmers can't plow effec-
lively under week. And when
they do, all the guano in the world
won't help much, because of the wa
ter in the soil.
believe the crop will be reduced
east of the Mississippi river IL 1-2
per cent.
The farmers have found out, at
last, from sad experience that they
can't pay 81 bushel for corn, II l-2
cents pound for meat and 5000
for mules.
Therefore, l am convinced they're
going to plant more corn than in
any year since the Civil war, and a
great many of them will 'e their
own mules.
High corn I@eaf ~'e done
more and will o more reduce the
acreage than an. tother one factor, l
think. -
If We raise all our corn and a por-
ton of our meat, SOW peas and make
our lands more productive, we can
cut down, by tremendous per cent,
the number of hands needed to take
care of the cotton crop. And that
means lessening the cost of produc.
ing cotton and higher price.
If the farmers of the South follow
this plan religiously for three years,
we will be able to price our own cot
ton.
We will see no more the spectacle
of the spinner giving the farmer
what he pleases. The boot will be
where it ought to be-on the other
foot. like it is in every other branch
of supply and demand.
| We can, too, look for more dam
age from the boil weevil than any
previous year. They thrive and
propagate on a warm winter, and
they will get their work in early.
1t will not be long, either, before
they will be spreading to the hither.

HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Truck Prospect Fine-a Shad Supper
Local and Personal Matters.


last Friday night. We left Harpers
at 5 o'clock p m for Pine Tree land
ing on Black river, where our crowd
was met by quite a lot fishermen and
in short time We had shad in abun-
dance. We soon had d "pine bark
stew" which all present enjoyed
greatly. After feasting until II or
1 O'Clock our party had all the shad
they wanted to take home. This
we'll known, historic landing on
Black river furnishes great fishing
sport for the people of Williams
burg, the name "Pine Tree" being
synonymous with "shad" hereabonts
during the season.
Mr. Arthur Hardie, one of Har-
pers' bright young men who has
spent the past two years in Memphis,
Tenn, has returned to his old home,
bringing with him fair bride. His
many friends here extend cordial
welcome both to him and his fair
lady.
Some of our farmers have planted
beans, cantaloupes and cucumbers
and have fine stands. There is also
a lot of other truck planted from
which good results are expected.
We have had low freight rates grant
ed by the G & W R r, also crates
and baskets can be bought cheap,
so that if there be no backset, we
will have quantity of truck to ship
in the near future. The writer will
have cabbages ready to ship by April
IL. If truck raising succeeds in
this little town and neighborhoud
the honor must be given to your
paper, as you have stood by us in
our efforts to organize an association.
If we meet with any degree of suc-
cess your scribe will feel amply re.
paid for his weak efforts in this
matter.
Just a word in reference to my
double barreled antagonists, VIZ,
Moody's "Red Coon" and some
other kind of coon at Spring Gully.
The coon at Spring Gully refers to
my kindred and my wife's kindred
at Moody. My talk or writing be-
ing "in the family" hence the plain
expression. The Spring Gully
coon or "varmint" stands where the
label is on a dispensary bottle-on
the outside. 1t seems that these
coons are hunting newspaper con.
troversy. They being my superior
in age, intelligence, mother wit, and,
greatest Of all, education,I will take
no further notice of their slings,
even at my family. Let those coons
discuss the whisky question with
some one else. When I see a mole
hill in my road, I try to walk around
it. hope those correspondents
who are ablaze with desire to meet
some one in a newspaper controversy
will excuse me and engage their
equals, as they are my superiors.
l will not notice their further slurs.

COLLEGE LIFE
At WINTHROP.
THIS WOMAN'S MICROCOSM NOT AVERSE
TO The RECORDS WEEKLY
VISITS.

March 2:-It has been quite a
while since We have seen any
thing in The RECoRp from Win
throp, and we wonder if the
readers would like to know how
this busy woman's world is pro.
crossing. Perhaps it would in
terest them to know that we are
not so busily engaged in affairs
of our own. that we do not have
time to wish for our home paper
to be filled with cheerful, newsy
letters. It gives the Williams
burg girls much encouragement
to know that their home county
is keeping pace with the rapid
strides of progress that are be-
ing made elsewhere.
Last Thursday evening the
Davidson College orchestra and
glee club gave an entertainment
for the benefit of the College
Annual of 1909. The exercises
were much enjoyed, because the
Eboys seemed to feel the real
spirit of the music and took
much interest in them.
Monday morning the Fresh
men and Special basket ball
teams played their annual match
game. Although the wind was
blowing very cold and made it
sunfavorable for good playing,
still the game was quite lively
and the Freshmen won by a
score of IL to Z. Next Monday
there will be a match game be-
tween two other teams.
Miss Mary George White, the
-fraveling secretary of the Stu
dents Volunteer movement
spent Sunday and Monday visit
ing the college. While here she
gave a number of interesting
talks on Student Volunteers and
their work.
Monday night DR. Preston
Search lectured in the college
auditorium on Sunny Italy, ano
we felt that we, too,were enjoy
ing the pleasures of her sunny
skies, as he showed us lanterr
views of various places he hae
visited. Especially beautiful
were the scenes from Naples OF

waters look as blue as the skies
that overshadow them. Dl

The new dormitory that is be
ing erected is rapidly nearing

AMERICAN RED CROSS
THANKED BY ESTRADA
FOR PROMPT SUCC0R

> WASHINGTON, Dec. PA tele-
gram from the revolutionary party OF
Nicaragua was received today by the
American Red Cross society thanking
the society for it's work in relieving the
distress of soldiers of the government
army captured near Rama and now
.uuartered i'm Bluefelds. The telegram,
signed by General Estrada, said in
part:
1T is with profound appreciation
that we Nicaraguans vieY the charity
and kindness which characterlzes your
work for humanity. The news of the
distressing condition in which our
captives arrived in Bluefields could
have but just reached you ere your di-
rectors had given instructions for the
issuance of supplies for the subsistence
of the sick and weary.
"Now, by the fortunes of war under
our care the resources of the revolu-
tion are sufficient only to provide for
its troops, and the many. hundreds
forced upon us by the surrender Of
Zelayas entire army at Reereo would
have placed us in a critical position
had ii not been for your noble action.
"NiCaraguanS are appreciative and
will not forget your prompt relief, and
the fervent prayers of its people In
thanks for your bounty were offered on
Christmas day in our churches. Repre-
senting the revolution and personally
l communicate eternal gratitude"
