SOUTHERN RAILWAY
AIDING FARMERS.

Atlanta April 24.--(Special.) Real
izing that nothing is more vitality i'm
portant to it's interests than the pros
perity of the farmers living along Its
lines and in the tributary territory, the
Southern Railway company is doing
everything in its power to promote
their interests. One of the methods
adopted is the running of special agri-
cultural trains in cooperation with the
officials of state agricultural de-
partments. Such train was
recently run over the Mobile and Ohio
railroad from Guys to Union City,
Tenn, under the direction of M. ".
Richards, land and industrial agent of
the Southern railway, and the Mobile
and Ohio railroad. and, Hon. John
TIL ompson, commissioner of the Ten
nessee agricultural department.
This train bore "a party of lecturers
furnished by the state agricultural de-
partment. Fifteen stops were made and
more than $500 farmers heard the ad-
dresses. Such signal success attended
the running of the train that Commits
sioner Thompson has requested the
Southern to furnish a similar train. to
be run over it's lines in east Tonnes
see. This train will probably be fur
nish ed as soon as the state authorities
are ready to undertake the trip.
President Finley of the Southern is
particularly interested in work of this
character and is devoting great deal
of his time toward studying the needs
of the farmers of the southeast with
a view toward furnishing helpful CO.

should be prohibited; but to no classi-
aad order of intelligence or conscience
will appeal the proposition that fu-
ture speculation in cotton Is wrong ana
should be prohibited, but that future
speculation in grain and other products
and commodities is right and should
be permitted. Such conclusion must
proceed from some other source than
logic or conscience. 1t must. therefore
proceed from some personal prejudice
or political exigency of the proponents,
or from lack of information or reck-
less misapplication thereof. All legis-
lation based upon such principle of
action Is pernicious and already stands
condemned If this principle OF leSs-
lation should be recognized 1T would
be entirely logical and in order for
the bears in cotton, or those whose
interest it is to depress the price there
of. to demand of Congress, on the
strength of precedent. n statute max
ing il criminal behavior to buy cotton
contracts for g speculative advance.
This phase of the Scott bill is of in
terest to the entire country and to all
citizens tn ereof, in that it eNemplifies
n class of harmful legislative effort.
But, in addition to this general appli
cation, the bill has special significance
which bears very directly and heavily
ticula- section Ct the country. If this
bill should become law, those of
our citizens who are interested in the
cotton business, whether as producer,
merchant, trader or banker, would suf-
fer grievous injury, and the south it
self would stagger under the assault
made upon its great staple crop. !

would not prevent gambling, but would,
on the contrary, eliminate all that is
legitimate and beneficial in future con-
tract trading, and would, in effect, en-

ture speculation. The proponents claim
for the bill that 1t will not iniuriously
fleet business or the cotton trade, but
viii be the means OF increasing the
price the farmer receives fof his crop.
