From Slavery of Debt and Bondage.

One Of the usual results OF the high price OF
cotton is to stimulate production by increase of
acreage An increased acreage encourages loose
methods of cultivation which is the bane of agri-
culture.
1t is not too early for the press of the South to
sound the alarm and warn Southern cotton growers
against the folly of over-cropping.
They should have learned by sad experience
that by enargng their cotton acreage they increase
the labor of cultivation and gathering while they
reduce the price of the staple.
Thus they may produce more bales of cotton,
but the increased production is not sufficient to off
set the loss in price and additional cost Of labor
required.
1t is infinitely better to reduce their cotton
acreage and by the use Of fertilizers and by more
thorough cultivation, grow moe cotton on fewer
The saving in labor will more than countcrbal-
ance the extra cost of the fertilizers used.
But there is another advantage outwei9hing III
importance all those mentioned above.
By the use of fertilizers and by intensive cutl-
vation the soil is renewed from year to year, and
instead of becoming impoverished it grows richer
with each succeeding crop.
Every paper in the South should preach inces-
sanity the gospel Of intensive cultivation and diver
sificaton.
The State and National Departments of Agri-
culture, together with the experiment farms and
stations and numerous agents of these institutions,
are doing all in this direction that their numbers
ana resources Will permit Let the press OF tnc
South with one voice take up the theme and keep
the subject before the farmers
Ceaseless agitation will inevitably bring the de-
sired reform in Southern agricultural methods
With the reform will come the redemption of the
Southern cotton grower from the slavery of debt
and the bondage OF poverty.
The above from the Cotton and Cotton Oil
Dallas Texas News should be seriously considered
by the cotton farmers Of the South. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that Southern farmers will not be
fooled in casting aside the splendid lessons they
have been learning for the past few years and stake
their all on cotton another year The man that
does not THINK in any profession, calling voca
ton nowadays, is tailender If the farmers will
but THINK they will convince themselves that
they get for their cotton every year what it is
bringing today, if they will raise other crops besides
cotton. The farmer can always obtain legiti-
mate price for his cotton, and fair and legitimate
price is all any good farmer wants, if his crib
and smoke house are not in the northwest In all
of our acquaintance, never knew a farmer who
raised corn, hogs, hay and potatoes, well cot
ton, not to be in fairly independent circumstances.
Diversihcation and improved methods of agriculture
will soon bring the farmer into his own.

Unless the Issue is PrenatureIy Forced

In the name Of the best interests Of the people
of Mississippi protest against the early opening
of the next political campaign.
The unrest Of nrnd and the negligence Of busi-
ness incident to politics is hurtfu to the develop
ment of the state. Politics too frequently mars the
ties of friendship and the social relations Of those
who must dwell near each other It, of course,
must be admitted that this will likely happen even
in short campaigns however, the shorter the contest
the less the number Of jars among neighbors and
friends. For part propose to stand aloof un-
less the issue is prematurely forced AT the proper
time we shall enlist to do whatever can to bring
about the election Of Hon. Earle Brewer to the
office of Governor In doing SO, shall have in
mind the best interests Of the masses, not the favor
ed few and the future of Mississippi.
But there is plenty of time yet. There is
nothing to be lost to any candidate for any state
office by deferring the opening of the campaign,
The people are addressing themselves to economic
problems as they hav- never done before. The far
mers the merchants and every other interests in the
state will have some special problems to deal with
next year and we feel sure that they do not to
have their attention distracted by politics The
developmentsof the state and the legacy of good
homes and good citizenship that hand
down to our children are more important than the
triumph of any man or set of men in politics.

lake hold Of h proposition and push i to The de
sired result. Just think of what level roads would
mean to our farmers. They could double the
amount of their haul and it would bring neighbors
closer together. Good roads, level roads such as
are had in the northwest, would bring desirable
immigrants, which would increase the trade of our
merchants and thereby help everything else in a
material and social way in the county. Let every
body do some thinking along this line and get in
the march to a greater success Let Grenada
