The Consumption OF American
Cotton.

According to the figures of Sec
retary H. G.. Hester. of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange. the cot
ton crop of the United States for
last season reached the enoromous
total of 1885. .457 bales. This
was the biggest crop on record. and
when that fact commenced to draw
upon the cotton trade months ago
there was naturally a fear that
considerable portion of this inn
mense yield would have to be car
ried over into the next season.
Now that the season has come 10 an
end, it is seen that the crop has
been so nearly consumed as to leave
no seriously large visible supply to
carry over.
Realizing clearly how important
to the trade is this matter of the
volume of consumption last year,
Secretary Hester made public yes
terday in advance of his annual re-
port the figures of the world con-
sumption of American cotton. Mr..
Hester shows that the world con-
sumed last year 13, 157 900 bales of
American cotton-that is, ,045.-
900 bales more than the proceeding
season and $40, 200 bales more
than the prosperous year 1907.
The consumption of American
cotton was divided as follows: Do
mestic consumption 5, 100, 900 bales,
divided exactly equally between
Northern and Southern mills. and
8,097 900 bales. This enoromous
consumption proves more clearly
than anything else that the trade OF
the world has been steadily expand
ing during the past year. 1t Is true
that owing to the fine spinning
quality of the last crop it was at
tractive to spinners, and, moreover,
prices being so much lower than
the precering year. also proved
attractive, but if the mills had not
been able to dispose of their out
put satisfactorily they would not
have bought so much cotton, and
there is no evidence that they are
carrying large surplus stocks.
Although both Northern and
Southern mills are steadily increas-
ing their consumption of cotton the
country is still far from manufac-
turing all of its own'raw cotton. Sc
far we manufacture little more than
third of the cotton we grow and
export the balance. We export even
now as much cotton as our whole
crop amounted to not SO many years
ago.
While it is desirable that We
should continue to increase OuI
manufacture of our own raw mate
rial, there is little reason to feal
that we will ever cease to export.
Large as last season S crop undoubt-
ly was, it does not represent the
best the South can do. With in
tensi6ed farming and the utilization
of the lands now lying idle the
South can grow all the cotton the
world may at any time need, even
should it require 10000, 900 bales.

Stopping Your Paper.

Sometime ago. cranky sort of
individual came into this office and
stopped this paper because some
thing in it did not just exactly suit
his fancy.
We have frequently met him on
the street since then. and it Is
amusing to note the look of surprise
on the old fellows face when he
realizes that the editor is still in
existence, regardless of the fact
that we are no longer getting his
81 90.
Some day. however-and it will
not be very long-that old gentle
man will turn up his toes. His
heart will be stilled forever. There
will be a display of pretty posies
and crepe and the neighbors and
friends will follow his lifeless clay
out to the Silent City and lay it to
rest in fhe deep. dark tomb.
An obituary viii be published in
this paper. telling what a kind hus-
band. loving father, good neighbor,
beloved citizen, and how progress
sive and public spirited he was and
in short time he will be forgotten
As he lies out there in the cold
cold graveyard. wrapped in the sill
ent slumber of death, he will never
know the last kind word spoken oi
him will be by the editor Of the
paper which he so pitifully stop
ped. "
Have you, gentle reader, ever
paused a moment to think that YOU
editor-whoever he NAV be-wil
some day write your obituary.

Committee

That we are returning to the
customs and practice of our dad
dies is evidenced by the fact that
we hear of grist mills erected in all
portions of the country. For many
years past our farmers have scorned
the home ground meal prefering
the blotted stuff that comes to US
from the city mill at city prices.
but change has come and we can
hear hum of the grist mill once
again. This means a return of
prosperity as the farmers will give
more attention to living at home
and not put all the work on the
cotton crop thus leaving the corn
and forage crop to tender mercy of
the elements and the poor land on
which they are planted. k Kosciusko

Aberdeen Weekly:

Editor Aberdeen Weekly:
Dear Sir-Two professedly Chris
tian farmers were discussing the
crop conditions that obtain in our
section. The one was wealthy, the
other was poor; the one had money
in the bank, the other had none:
the one owed not a cent, the other
owed some money on this year s
crop. The crops Of both were very
short. The wealthy farmer was blue
and discouraged. and kicking at ev-
erything in sight. The following
lines contain the substance Of what
the poor farmer said to the rich
one, and to the writer they contain
the spirit of true optimism
say. what's the use to SIT and whine,
Cause everythings gone wrong?
Twill all come back to YOU in time.
Hold up your head Be brave and strong
III admit the is blazing
Bat to me it sounds amazing
To hear you talk ike Gods forgotten.
True the day is hot as blazes.
And sweaty clothes to you are sticking,
But what to me always amazes
That you can see some good in kicking
| know your troubles get SO heavy
That they almost break your spine.
But keep a-moving, keep a-pushing,
| 1t does no good to sit and whine.
| The world is full of tolls and cares
And our hopes seem fast declining,
But just remember that these crosses
| Are but part of Gods designing.
| Then drink your cup OF grief and JOY
The former without whining.
| The latter like thirsty boy
Life's sun Is fast declining.
And when you land on the golden shore
And enter life divine,
Youii think no more Of your troubles sore
OF the crop of nineteen-nine.
Mr.. Editor, this is the spirit Of
optimism so much needed in these
days Of depression and worry. II
breathes the true spirit of confidence
and trust in the wisdom of an over
ruling Providence in the world OF
material things. 1t contains the
true philosophy of life that few men
alas, have learned.
