NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE.

There is only one way of guaran
teeing a good price for cotton or any
other crop; organize to reduce the
crop and stand by the organization.
If an organization to reduce is i'm
practicable any effort whatsoever to
raise the price is equally impractical
BILE
If it is left to each individual farm
er TO reduce his crop it will be a mat
ter of waiting until the crack of doom;
he is not going to do it and when he
does not do it he shows just as much
business ability as you or anybody
else.
If the farmer thinks that by any pos
sible chance he can make more mon
ey by raising more cotton he is dis
playing good business sense in raising
more cotton.
Until an organization IS gone into
to reduce all over the South the hope
will still be left to him at times that
he will make more money by raising
more cotton.
There is no way to dodge the issue:
if the cotton crop is to be reduced it
must be done by a concerted effort

has recommended that the present crop
quantities as possible, and the govern
Ors Of the southern states have recon-
mended that In addition to the holding
OF the cotton that the acreage of next
year be reduced. Both of these rec
concentrations are very good but, un-
less something more definite is done,
the whole thing will amount to moth
ing and next year we will see anoth-
er fifteen million crop with two or
three additional bales In the ware
houses. In that case the situation will
be more serious than it Is now.
Commissioner Watson week before
last issued a call for the cooperation
Of Southern farmers to hold the cotton
from the market and to pledge them
selves to reduce the acreage next year.
AT the same time. he stated that the
names of those who would hold so
much cotton and reduce so much in
acreage would be published as they
were given to the county clerks. In
this state we have seen several lists
published where the farmers promis-
ed to hold off the market so many
bales of cotton. but no widespread in
terest seems to be shown.
Though Ii seemed to us at the time
that Commissioner Watsons call was
inadvisable in that no organization
had been gone into, we hoped for the
best and trusted that the southern cot
ton leaders would come to his assist
ance and put the thing through. 1t
seems though that the matter is lag
ging and If more definite fight is
not begun, the whole thing will come
to naught
An affair of this kind demands min
ute organization. The interests are
spread over such a large area that
nothing can be accomplished unless
those who are to take part know that
| If they enter into an agreement that
others interested will too A perfect
organization should have been or
should be perfected now, before the
| iiAhiN 10 Nolh hCu UPON. AllcI all
organization, such as was suggested
in the conference of governors, is per-
| fected, pledges could then be sent out
and the leaders in the movement would
know that every nook and corner of
the South had been reached The lead
ers would then be in position to feel
the pulse of the people and know when
one section or state is falling behind
in interest or is not coming up to the
pledge.
Commissioners Watson has launch
ed into the campaign almost alone
and unprepared. Another campaign
launched by other people would be dis
astrous. What he will have to do, il
the movement is made success, is tC
jump into the fight with heart and
soul and ask the assistance of other
leaders in the South and with their
aid begin an organization which will
reach every nook and corner of the
South The little blow that he start
ed several weeks ago will accomplish
absolutely nothing.
Under ordinary circumstances an
organization of this kind would hardly
be practicable on account of the vary
ing interests and selfishness of those
involved, but the situation is such a
critical one and the need of action is
so evident it seems to us that a move
ment of the kind would not only be
practical but could be carried out sue
cessfully.

While Gentry Brothers shows
which will visit this city next Friday
are not new to this community they
bring with them many things that are
new to America this season. Among
| these features are many trained wild
animals, but first of all Is the list Of
| European novelty acts
During the winter the agents Of
Gentry Brothers made very careful
! and thorough canvass of Europe gath
cring together the most novel features
possible for Americas most closely
censored shows. In France the agents
secured BOuchard and Blanchard the
greatest gymnasts that ever claimed
the home of Napoleon as their own.
For many seasons this troupe of
performers remained in the old coun-
try. persistently refusing to come TO
! America When man has something
to sell and the other fellow wants IL,
then the seller Is sooner or later
tempted by the fancy price offered for
his ware This was the case with
| these performers. They put. as they
thought, "a prohibitive price on their
services. but when the figure was
agreed to by Gentry Brothers the
| Frenchmen decided they would accept
| the alternative and come to America
for one season, at least.
When the contract for an American
tour was closed MARCEL and Lennett,
another French company decided TO
| visit America. In this way Gentry
Brothers shows annexed the services
of the international Coiques," a
clever set Of tumblers, who also have
long hesitated to leave their native
land.
In Germany at the time these con-
tracts were closed was Madame He
loise, whose act was the talk Of Con
| tinental Europe. She is the worlds
greatest woman horse trainer The
horses she used before royalty are
said to be the finest In the world
Madam Heloise, through the efforts
| o an American consul accepted a
contract to appear in America. This
season she is one of the especial fea-
lures with Gentry Brothers shows.
| Through Madame Heloise the Ce-
vene Trio, who, three years ago.
startled the medical and dental worlds
by acts of daring were engaged. This
company of performers are accustom-
ed to dangling IN the air while sus-
pended by their teeth. Time was
when no medical man would admit
that the human being could accom-
plish such a thing, but the Cevene
Trio have disproven the theories Of
the scientific worlds
Another feature with Gentry Broth
ers shows Is Don Boucharo. This man,
a Spaniard, has subdued and trained
a ferocious family of leopards and
lions. and with animals of the do
mestcated kind, he presents per
formance Of unusual merit. In addi-
ton to these new features Gentry
Brothers' All-Feature shows will pre-
sent many others, the'product of years
of study on the part of animal tran
ers. The Gentry shows are this year
twice as large as ever before. For
this day only. admission is reduced
to % and 35 cents.
