The Law of
Supply and Demand.

The following telegram sent out
from Plainfield, Conn, will be interest
ing to the people of the south:
Announcement by the Ashland Com
pany and other big manufacturers OF
textiles here today that they will
either close down their mills indefi-
nitely or operate them on half time
because Of the large amount of unsold
stock on hand is the beginning of
movement through =. all the cotton
manufactfng centers of New England
to curtail production in summer that
will either put $4,000 mill operatives
on half time or throw them out of
work entirely. The high price of, cot
ton is also responsible in part for this
action. The textile mills are all over
stocked more heavily than ever before.
There is law of supply and de-
mand that cannot be outwitted by the
Vaccinations of the New England cot
ton mills, or by anybody else for any
other length of time is undisputed.
| 1t Is a known fact that the New
England mills have heretofore made
great profits out of the manufacture
OF cotton goods, and that still greater
profits have been made by English
| spinners.
! One trouble with the present situa-
| ton is that these spinners, having be-
| come accustomed to enormous profits,
are not content with reasonable
profits; they want to continue to re-
ceive the very large profits that they
have heretofore been able to rake
into their tills at the expense of the
southern farmer, and now that the
price of cotton has advanced, owing
largely to a shortage of the supply
they cannot make the great profits
heretofore enjoyed at the prevailing
price of cotton.
1t has been stated by men in a
position to know that the profits to
the manufacturers would be great at
fifteen cents, but the southern people
have no desire to prevent a reasonable
price for the manufactured article,
though they have to buy their own
cotton after it is put in manufactured
form, but while doing this the whole
world Is paying approximately the
same price.
The moral Of the story sent out from
Plainf1eld is to the effect that the cot
ton manufacturers of the country are
going to put down the price of cotton
as low as possible and to do this.
they will resort to the closing of their
plants for a short time. But it can't
be for long. When fine machinery IS
left unused It soon becomes worthless
More than this, there Is going to be a
demand for cotton goods. That de-
mand will increase rather than d.
minish. With high prices for the raw
material, the southern people can af-
ford to pay a higher price for the
part Of the money that they receive
for the raw material will be spent for
the manufactured article, and the bal
ance will be spent for other necessary
things, or, perhaps, saved.
| With the present aspect of the cot
ton mills before them, the farmers of
the south should be prepared for what
comes; they can do this by raising
plenty Of supplies on their farms.
Mean time the law OF supply and
demand is bound to obtain sooner or
later. If enormous cotton crops are
raised, therefore, the great supply will
lessen the demand and, of course, VIII
result in lower prices.

About Letting Criminals Escape.
In the increasing tension of the
fight of the decent, law-abiding people
Of this country against the criminal
element, not only have We to reckon
with the difficulty of conviction in the
courts, but another factor Of alarm
ing growth is the difficulty Of hold.
ing the criminal after he has been
convicted. Every day the dispatches
tell the story of Jail escapes. The
other day two of the worst despera.
does in Virginia, both under death
sentence, outwitted the jailer and got
away. Up in a Georgia town last
week a murderer in JAIL under life
sentence, awaiting transfer to the
convict camp, leisurely walked out
the unlocked door of the Jail, locked it
to keep the other prisoners from fol-
lowing him and has been heard of
no more. In Pensacola two or three
weeks ago, notorious crook, convict
ed and sent to the convict camp, with
the guards warned that the utmost
vigilance would be necessary to pre-
vent the escape of so slick scOun-
drel, actually got away the first night
and has never been heard of since.
These are but typical instances, and
somebody ought to be held to stern
account for such gross neglect of
duty. A criminal in confinement is
racking his brain, day and night, to
devise a way to escape even while
not seeming to, and to let him get
away is a grave offense, for which
there can seldom be a valid excuse.
The whole fabric of our penal system
falls to pieces if the stat or county
can't hold it's criminals after catching
them, and all the trouble of original
capture and conviction is waste work
if incompetent or corrupt guards let
the convicts escape.-Suwanee Demo-

We Love Them Still
In Dixie.

The twentieth annual reunion OF the
United Confederate Veterans will be
held at Mobile April 26, 81 and
rs. The Gulf City has made great
preparation to do these grand old
men due honor and arrangements
have been made to accommodate near
ly fifty thousand visitors. The weather,
If clear, will be ideal; the reunion
coming as it does in the balmy days of
spring. The hospitality of Mobile
being far-famed. it is needless to add
that the veterans will have one Of
their greatest annual meetings.
They should enjoy themselves. They
deserve every honor that may be ten
dered them. No Drawer men ever
fought and bled for a cause than
which there is none more Just. For
home and liberty did they suffer. Let
US not in this commercial age, in our
mad rush for the almighty dollar, hest
tate to- drop flower in their path.
They cannot long be with US IN the
flesh, though the memory Of their
valor and heroic deeds shall never
die. Their ranks are thinning and
they must soon pass over the river to
rest beneath the shade of the trees,
but we love them still in Dixie.

mingham, inspired by the closing sen.
tence of the unspoken address of Com.
mander-in-Chief Stephen d. Lee, to the
U. c. " in reunion at Birmingham in
1908:
The poem follows:
Do they love you still, in Dixie?
All, how they love you still!
The deathless courage of your lives
Makes every true heart thrill
And beat with loving warmth and pride
At deeds so nobly done
So shall it be throughout the years,
Till quick and dead are one.
Do they love you still, in Dixie?
All, could you have a doubt
That Dixie sons of Dixie sires
Would ever turn about
And worship at a lesser shrine
Than that you raised so hight
It's matchless glory cannot wane,
Its stars yet pierce the sky.
Do they love you still, in Dixie?
All, let yeur own hearts speak.
Has blood of heroes yet begot
A rare Of EDWARDS u-aaLy
Whose callous hearts no deed car
thrill,
No patriot cause infiame?
The New South answers to the Old,
Tn spirit we're the same!"
Do they love you still, in Dixie?
All, can they e'er forget
How nobly strove those ranks of gray
When Hopes fair sun had set?-
And bleeding, died. their cause to save
Nor dying, won the day;
Though cause more just man ne'er has
known,
Or deadlier yet the fray.
Yes. we love you still, in Dixie.
You and your sweethearts, too,
FOR your sWeethearts are oul
mothers
NAA sSG uOuDb LudI We are LTuGI
Though the ranks now fast are
melting,
And the Stars and Bars are furled
Yet the South will live forever
In the glory of your world.
These golden lines are but the pulsr
beat Of every southern born man. II
is no sign OF "disloyalty" to the stars
and stripes for us southerners t.
eulogize the courage and daring of oul
fathers, and none but the unhung Hev
burns will so interpret the spirit OF
the annual gatherings of veterans and
their sons and daughters.

for good or for bad. This is true as
a rule. Some times there may be
motive that is innocent; some times
an individual shoots an arrow into the
air with no purpose to injure any one
and afterwards find that it lodges in
the heart of friend. But these are
the exceptions which belong to all
rules. In criminal procedure, no man
can be convicted of a crime unless
there is criminal intent. This must
always be conclusively shown, SO that,
when conscience asks 'Is it right"
there is a necessity for squaring the
deed with conscience.
Thrice armed is the man whose
cause is just" for he has not only the
impelling power to contend for his
opinions, and behind that, more than
all else, is the backing of clear con-
science-and this is worth all the
other backing in the world.
A distinguished gentleman of this
state once remarked, cit is not so
much what others think of me, as
what I think Of myself"
Then he said that this was not
meant in an egotistical way; that no
honest or honorable man could think
we'll of himself unless he was con-
scientious in all his acts and deeds,
and when he felt this way, he need
not fear that people would hold a bad
opinion of him.
There is something good In almost
every man or woman. The bad may
greatly predominant, and often does,
but there is still small voice that is
within them, the voice of conscience,
that will, on occasions, bring out some
thing good.
The approval Of ones own con-
science is an impelling power tina.
makes for good conduct, due regard
for the comfort and feelings of others.
and ennobles the life of every man
and woman.
Few people ever did anything that
they thought was wrong that their
conscience did not sting them for it..
There is something that is within all
of us that makes us feel better whom
we know that we have done the right
thing. or if we feel that we have done
the wrong thing it makes us regret it.
May conscience always ask ''if 1t is
right?" And asking the question, let
conscience answer its own inquiry, and
the result will usually be satisfactory.

MAN HAD TO SIT
AND SER WIFE BURN
Paralyzed, He Is Powerless to Aid
Woman Covered With
Flames.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-While Mrs. Alice
Kelly stood a human torch, screaming
for help and fighting flames in her
clothing that soon reduced her to a
dying condition, her husband was
forced, by injuries he had suffered in
boiler explosion two weeks ago, to
sit 10 feet away and look on in agony
powerless to move hand or foot.
Mrs. Kelly and her sons, Thomas Jr.
10 years of age, and Vincent, 6 years
old, entered the basement of their home
shortly before noon to get coal. The
mother lighted candle and handed il
to Vincent to hold while she filed the
hod. The child accidentally dropped
the candle and it rolled under his
mothers clothing, setting fire to hel
dress. Screaming, she ran up the real
stairs into the kitchen of her home
where her crippled husband was sitting
While she writhed, the two boys, as
powerless in their terror as the father
because of his injuries, stood helpless.

tract strong and aggressive competition.
The live wire sees good field and a
neglected trade, and figures that the
people will appreciate attentiveness and
prompt service in preference to the un-
certain, easy going, unenterprising con-
ditions, says the Oregon Merchants
Magazine. The merchant who does his
best to please the trade and works his
business every day, anticipating the
wants of all, is not likely to invite a
competitor. There are many, however,
who should close their eyes and see the
new business across the street, and start
in the next day as though it were a
reality.
