MORAN TO fight
WOLGAST IF Wins
Nelson Is Confident of Being
the Man to Meet the
Champion, However

In the event that Battling Nelson
falls before Owen Moran in their 20
round encounter, which Promoter Jim
Coffroth plans to pull off during the
end of this month, then the Britisher
will get the chance of meeting Ad VOL
gast during December.
However, the Battler is extremely
confident of his success and has in
formed Promoter Blot, who has the De-
cember date, that he need have no fear,
as he will fulfill his contract with VOL
gast. The Battler thinks 20 rounds will
give him plenty of time to wear down
the Engf1lishman and that he will get
him before the finish. That extra five
rounds, Nelson believes. will give him
enough of time to get Moran via the
knockout route.
From all indications the present en-
counter will be a heavy betting affair
and there seems to be a difference of
opinion among the fans as to who will
be favorite, Nelson or Moran
There are many who think that Mo-
rams cleverness will carry him along.
They figure that he will be able to side
step the Battler's rushes and meet him
with straight lefts and counters which
will earn him the decision.
Nelson will be back in the city within
a week or so and he will go into train
more work for this fight than he did
for his battle with La Grave.
This is a match which the fans have
been clamoring for. 1t should prove
great contest, as it will bring together
boxer and a millman whose forte is
rushing and forcing the pace.
There are many who doubt that
Moran can stand the terrific pace which
the Battler will likely pursue. Bigger
mon thar Moran have ia lien nv the
wayside, but the argument in this
battle will be whether Nelson is still
himself
Moran has been fighting around 126
pounds, which seems to be his best
fighting weight. This will give Nelson
an advantage of at least eight pounds.
as Nelson will probably weigh 134 or
The last fight which Nelson engaged in
should benefit him to some extent.
Lew Powell is having his troubles in
the east He writes that there are
about dozen lightweights around
there. but none of them care about his
game. He has made them all kinds of
inducements in vain, and he plans to
return to the coast.
Lew states in his letter that he would
like to meet Nelson, Wolgast or any of
the topnotchers.
Powell has an engagement with
Sammy Smith, but he does mot think
much of this match from a drawing
standpoint. 1t still looks as if San
Francisco is about as good a place as
any in the country for high class mitt
artists.
Mel Moffett is still having his
Etroubles. and up to date he has not
signed up a card for this month.

Ihf C0IION CRGP.

This Is now the period Of th
season when the cotton estimator,
or so called authority, is in bis
glory. Estimates Of the crop arr
now sbowered upon US thick sno
fast, and they range all the way
from l0,600.0 600 bales to 1900
900 bales, giving everybody an OPP
portunity to accept any figure that
pleases him. There is only one
thing in common in connection with
these estimates, and that 10 their
utter unreliability. They are
guesses, pure and simple, and as is
inevitable, under such circumstances,
the very great majority Of them are
wrong.
Just what tho cotton crop will
eventually prove TO DO remains W
be- seen. About tho only reliable
guide that can DO followed 10 the
census report on the amount Of
cotton ginnsd TO given periods.
While these reports show the
amount actually ginned, they still
leave in doubt the amount TO be
ginnsd for the balance Of the sea-
son. The census has reported that
up to November LIST, 1885, 1888 bales
Of cotton had been ginned, as COM
pared with 7,0l7, $40 bales last
year and 8,l9l, 557 bales year before
last.
II the amount Of cotton ginned TO
Nov. LIST represented any fixed per.
centage of the crop on that date,
the problem Of ascertainiDg the
total yield would be easy, but i
does nothing Of the sort. Take,
for instance, the crop Of 1907, which
was a good yield, although the gin
nines to Nov. | we're only 6,l2B,5B2
balss or more than a million bales
less than this year.
The fact that the whole amount
ginned 10 Nov. LIST this year exceeds
last year by over 100000 bales, not
withstanding the admitted lateness
Of the crop. ymakes, it reasonably
certain that the crop will be larger
than last year. AS q matter Of fact
Texas and Oklahoma baye already
ginned M much cotton as during
the whole Of last year. But even Il
this years crop should prove .
million bales larger than last year,
it still would be q very short crop,
considering the great exhaustion Of
all surplus stocks and the reasona-
bly, expected consumption.
It will take at least another month
TO fully develop the size Of the
crop, but il can already be predicted
with reasonable certainty that the
consumption Of cotton will readily
absorb any supply likely to be
offered. It is true that current prices
for cotton are high, the highest, in
fact, for this time Of the year IN
many years, but, considering the
Of supply and demand, as SO
far developed, they would seem to
be justified. Whether values will 90
remain stationary or de-
cline, the Developments Of the next
will probably indicate. but
what seems reasonably certain 10
that there will be no low prices
year, or even comparatively
low prices.

Honor Your business.

No man has occasion to feel
ashamed of bis business. He
should homer his oecuBation.
Any business is comincn6abIe, il
it is honest. There is work in
this world for all classes to per-
form. Nature regulates what her
children must do. Some are fit
ted for the work or muscle and
Drawn. Others are equipped,
mentally, to carry on the more in
tricate business oflife.
II all men were qualified for
high office the humber duties
could never be completed.
There is something for all to
do, the high and the low, the
weak and the strong, and each
and all should meet the obligs-
tons falling to him in a cheerful
and conscientious way, and the
world will be happier for it all.
The grert fault Of many men is
TO distrust Their ayocations in life.
They feel that their neighbor
has been blessed with a better
position in society, while they
have been forced, by circum-
stances, to carry on the work
never rightfully intended for
them to do.
Some have disagreeable work
to do in life and are dissatisfied.
All work can not be pleasant.
some positions are dangerous,
some are not. Some work re-
quires men to meet and mix with
muck, while Others face the cash
ier's desk in banks, Yet in both
positions men are fulfilling their
destinies. Fate is a final arbiter
of our lives, No one at birth can
say what days can bring to him.
Sons Of wealth freduently meet
their ends In direst poverty, con-
tented TO tramp from place to.
place and profit by some small
task. The sons Of ditch-diggers
with their genius.
We are all at birth equal. In
death, when we lie down for fin
al rest In the grave, God recogniz-
es no difference in our clay,
The sensible man will look for
ward, never behind. He VIII oil
rect his energies to making the
business he is engaged in a sue
cess. He should respect his call
ing, whatever It may be. He
should honor his business, for any
business is entitled to respect.
He should never blush because he.
occupies a humble position In life
and his neighbor a better one. He
should look out into the world
with fearless, honest eyes, and do
his best. Angels can do no more.

NOM foa BUSINESS.

During the progress Of the ex-
citing political campaign, which
eliminated last Tuesday, the
country was kept in such a turmoil
that general business was mate
rally hampered. both by the d.
verting Of attention to politics,
as well as by a number Of prob
lens entering into the canvass,
upon which the future prosperity
OF business depended. Business
was also unfavorably affected by
the attacks which were made on
the courts, and by the fear that II
Mr.. Roosevelt and those he repre-
scented succeeded, the general
commercial and financial we'll
being Of the country would be
disturbed.
The election Is now over, how
ever, and the results have been
reassuring, as radical and dems-
gogic policies were repudiated
everywhere, and conservative and
sane methods Of administration
vindicated. The uneasiness, and
even alarm, with which Mr..
Rooseyelt's ideas were re-
garded by business men have
now given place to confidence,
and no good reason now exists
why trade and industry, as well as
finances, should not resume their
normal conditions.
The country Is now engaged in
marketing good crops ; in fact,
most Of the crops may be describ-
ed as bountiful. Financial affairs
are in a satisfactory condition,
and all manufacturing industries
are enjoying normal activity.
There Is, therefore, no good rea-
son why business, which was
somewhat checked by tho polit-
cal campaign, should not revive
and become decidedly active.
Here In the South conditions
are exceptionally favorable. This
section, although interested in
common with the rest Of the
country in the issues involved in
the recent political campaign, has
experienced very little Of the ex-
element. All our crops are good,
and are selling at fine prices.
These conditions should develop
a large general business during
the present season and give the
proper stimulus To all manufac-
turing enterprises, While our
great crop, cotton, may not prove
as large as could have been wish
ed, il is sure to turn out very
much larger than last year, and,
at the prices which have prevail
ed this season, thu money returns
to producers shold exceed all
past records.
There is, therefore, no reason
why business should not be brisk
all over the South this winter.
Our business men should, there
fore, turn their attention reso-
to business matters and
make up their minds 10 make the
best possible use Of all the oppor-
which the present season is
sure to develop. II we fail to
take full advantage Of these OPP
portunities, we will have only our
selves to blame.
