COtAttIT1''s PLAN
lf0r Checking the Steady Decline In
Price OF Cotton-"Producers Com
init Business Suicide"

New Orleans item: The plan pro-
posed by Governor Colquitt of Tex
as TO call a meeting of the govern
ors and secretaries of agriculture ol
all Southern states to devise d
method for checking the decline ol
the price Of cotton, was endorsed
Tuesday morning by Mr.. w, b
Thompson, president oi the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, who will
tender his services in cooperation
The way The cotton producers OF
the South are now throwing the
staple upon the market is CONNER
cial suicide said Mrs Thompson
at is by no means certain that The
cotton crop will be as large as many
have predicted that il will be. A
great deal can happen between now
and the time the crop is harvested
1T is a pity that cotton should be
selling in the country for &c 9
pound. Because of the increased
cost of living the planter is not re-
Ceiving penny more than he die
several years ago when cotton was
&c pound. IT is almost a certainty
that The so-ealled bumper crop ex-
pected this year will not yield any
more money than the short crop OF
last year.
The cotton producers appear to
be hyslerical. They are rushing the
edition To the market with all posi-
bic speed and the fact that prices
are steadily tumbling does not de-
Ter them in the least. hope they
will awaken to The situation That
eonfronis them. II they will only
hold back their cotton and let it, go
gradually prices will Immediately
begin TO soar.
Il think Governor Colquitt's plan
is an unbearable one and ] hope ii
will have concrete results"

fs0N. l.. Il. THOMAS
H. Candidate for Reelection to the
Legislature.

Hon. L. f. Thomas has announced
| his candidacy for the legislature,
where during its past session of
four years he demonstrated frequ-
emily, that he is The friend Of the
| people.
His record is as an open book.
He has kept faith with his con-
IstiIuency.
He has advocated with zeal, tire
measures he believed were best for
the welfare of the State and in The
same spirit he has opposed extraVa-
gance or the msappropriation of
the funds Of this Stale
If the Game Commission with all
its sinecures prevailed. it was be-
cause he was on the side of the min
orty and could not defeat it.
His prominence in opposition to
the Marks bill was notable. This is
the bill which creates an education
| al olgarchy in Louisiana by vest
ing the control of The public schools
in a State Board OF Education, at
Baton Rouge, and in relieving the
parish school board, elected by the
people Of the power To select the
teachers Of their parish schools.
But it would seem unnecessary TO
multiply in detail the record of Mr..
Thomas which Will bear the test Of
the closest and most impartial scru-
Iiny.
If we would gauge Mr.. Thomas
by his record. the logical conclusion
is that he should be fully entrust-
cd with another term Of four years,

pie.
We should not hesitate TO recog-
nize one who has been faithful and
loyal III his duties aud the citizens
