South Will Lend, Not
Borrow, Soon.

The SOuth's cotton crop for 1908
brought Southern planters the very
trim and tidy sum of $6S3,OOO, 900, but
from present indications the white
yield OF 1909 will be vastly more vaIu-
able. If present prices are maintained
and some of the most competent
authorities on cotton price predictions
declare there can be little, if any, fall
ing of from the present highly salts
factory fgures-the crop this year
should be worth not less than $780,
100000. Some men not accounted ex-
cessively optimistic in their judgments
make bold to declare even that figure
is not quite high enough They main
tain that we are to show this year a
billion dollar cotton crop.
This means. of course. that while
the production of many farmers in the
cotton country will be smaller than in
some years. they have already received.

prices thAt will enable them to count
up moro money at the end of this
year than at the end of last. For in
stance, If present prices should hold
in Georgia alone this 1909 crop will be
worth close to, if not quite $4,000. 600.
That is a new high water mark for
cotton sales in Georgia.
The two Carolinas, according to adj
vices from Wilmington and Charles
ton, their chief shipping ports. should
do as well proportionately. In Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana AMI
Texas, while the crop is reported a
mite short, the 15-cent sales, with d
prospect OF continued good prices,
means that the men in those states
who live of the proceeds of cotton
will close this year with a profit con-
siderably in excess of that of last year.
In Florida, according TO the latest fig
ures available. those of Nov. 10, the
1908 crop and the 1909 crop are just
about uniform.
The Washington Post, a peculiarly
thoughtful and conservative observer
of Southern agricultural and CONNER
cial conditions, has a few timely sen
fences to call attention to the fact
that while cotton is still, as it always
must be, the South's great dominating
crop and the undisputed barometer of
the South's prosperity, it is no longer
the absolute king that it was in a gen

A great diversity of crops is con-
tributing TO the increasing prosperity
OF this section. Grain, fruit, trucking
and dairying are all having their
share in providing the basis of pros
perity, and the industrial enterprises
are showing rapid growth. Coal mines
are being forced to their capacity at

We are indebted TO the New York

years has swung back almost to the

South economically independent.
The Post does not paint too rosy a
picture of the halcyon days of gen
eral prosperity and financial prestige
which are coming to the South. Two
or three or four more such seasons,
not for cotton alone but for truck and
fruit and other crops. like the one the
South has this year enjoyed and the
South, like the West, will be a lender,
not a borrower, of money. 1t will be
in a position to finance amply its own
enterprises; it will no longer be COM
PEELED to stretch impIoring hands to
the North for cash to carry on its
plans for the opening Of new sections
and for the building of new railroads
and business undertakings. The dol
lars needed for Southern improve
ments will be drawn from Southern
banks. The interest on the leans
made to Southern planners and builders
will be paid to Southern lenders.
The South will achieve an era of
financial independence which she has
not enjoyed at any time since the Civil!
war, and then the South, backing its
own ambitions ard its own ideas with
It's own capital, will come into its
own again without the help of any
other section. It will be the COM
mencement of a new, proud era in
Southern growth and development,
and the only regret of the South will
be that through force of conditions
over which this section had no con-
troll it has been SO long delayed.

IN spite Of the growth Of knowledge
old illusions about Wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
a wild creature is held by many people
and intelligent people. toO-nOtwtth-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals, but not on ac-
count Of his eyes being turned away.
II is because the animal is treacherous
and knows by instinct that anything
with its back turned toward it is de-
fenseless. Snakes are looked upon as
evil at all times. but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness No creature is more nery-
Gus than a snake.

While here Mr.. Hervey expressed
satisfaction at the progress which had

feasible he knows of nothing that
would contribute more to the general
prosperity of Florida than the cultiya-
ton OF these lands.
Senator Taliaferro is anxious for
the government to make a careful and
complete investigation and determine
just how far the Okeechobee may be
tapped, and what effect the lake has
on climatic conditions. The able SEN
ator, in an interview, says:
IF the West is to be considered in
so generous a way, why not the the
South, and why not Florida? Reclama-
tiOn is reclamation, whether IL be by
the process of putting water on land
or taking it off; and if rich areas may
be reclaimed by one process or the
other, l am in favor of reclamation
You will understand, OF course, that
the general government proceeds with
care and caution in all of fits harbOrs,
or what not, and all work, even to so
small a matter as the establishment
Of rural route, is preceded by care
full investigation to determine cost
and probable result.
The first step, therefore. is a sur
vey, and when / go to Washington in
December l shall introduce a bill for
a complete investigation and survey OF
the Everglades with a view to recla-
nation. IF that survey disclOses that
the project is feasible, that so vast an
area can be reclaimed for the use Of
man, then l shall do all that / can TO

iect within the arid land plan, which
would, Of course, insure ample means
for certain and speedy completion OF
the work.

The Death of
Condict c. Packard.

In the death OF Condict c. Packard,
which occurred Thursday in Louisville,
Pensacola loses one of her best friends
and the newspaper profession loses
one of its most brilliant minds
Mr.. Packard was a newspaper man
Of wide experience and had, during his
life time. owned and edited several
different papers in the North. OF late
years he had devoted his time to the
publication of q monthly magazine
known as the North & South, and
some of his finest work was done in
the interest of Southern development.
A large part of Pensacola's promi-
nence, and particularly with Northern
people, was due to Mr.. Packard's work
alone. He wrote and published a great
deal concerning the Deep Water City
and everything &c wrote was both in
teresting and attractive.
The friends of this brilliant writer
and gentleman will everywhere regret
his death.
