POTATO RACE LATEST
NOVELTY ON SKATES

The latest novelty stunt to be reeled
off by the roller fellows at the rink is
a potato race on skates. Spooning with
potatoes has been known for years az
an innocent parlor pastime and it ought
not to be such q strenuous game to
iuggle the murphies and get away on
rollers if the potatoes can stand it.
Although the entry list for the mara
th0n skating race which is scheduled
for next Monday night does not close
until Saturday evening, the full num-
Der Of contestants are down and they
include the best skaters in the Terri
tory Joe Forrest said last night that
he is in frst-cIass condition and ex-

tauce.
Tomorrow night the second game Of
skate football between the Marines and
the Princess team will be played.

immaculate; not by any manner OF
means. But with all his faults Var
daman is brainy and brave; he has
convictions and the courage of his
convictions; he despises cant and hy
pocrisy; he hates plutocracy; he loves
the common people, and he is Loyal
and true to the south and the senti
ments, the traditions, the memories
of the south, and he would preserve
them; yet withal he is progressive
and would not be unmindful Of the
material interests of the south.

that on the same morning the first
article was published in the New York

For the first time has the Southern
farmer obtained the value of his
work, thanks to the "bull" forces.
During the month of November it was
almost impossible to fill any new mill
orders. Cotton was bought and lodged
with farmers, who were taken care of
by the men who felt that this crop
was below natural requirements.
When the Government estimate came
out Liverpool answered by opening 40
points down, the next morning, and
only since the Ginners' report prac-
tically confirmed this estimate have
the spinners become converted and
scared and have bought cotton around
the highest prices of the season, and
are still buying.
Did the mills have any sympathy
for the farmer when he had to send
his wife out of the kitchen and take
his children out of school and all had
to pick four and fve-cent cotton?
Did they then demand "'bear' in.
vestigation"? And did the Southern
representatives, who did ask for it
get any encouragement? Then why
should any representative who only
represents cotton state, back "'bull'
Investigation? Shall we furnish the
rope with which to hang ourselves?
On December 90th July cotton in
New Orleans closed at 1898, and July.
August, in Liverpool, closed at 1875.
New Orleans was absolutely 23 points
higher than Liverpool, when it should
be over 100 points below, with pre,ent
prices; making New Orleans the high.
est cotton market in the world. And
still, must we believe that any true
southerner desires to abolish the New
Orleans Gotten Exchange?
