1t is seen that putting the cost Of
production even lower than the facts
will warrant, allowing nothing for the
labor of the producer or his family, he
finds himself $19 in the hole, when his
crop is marketed.
But some will say the farmer makes
side crops that will more than cover
this shortage and provide for the feed
ing of his stock. In the first place 80
per cent of the cotton crop Is raised by
negroes, who, as a matter of fact, do
not make the side crop, and wherever
the side crops are made the cotton
acreage is reduced thereby, and hence
the yield proportionately reduced.
With these facts before the reader
it is not difficult to understand why
the farmer regrets to see his cotton
going to 10 cents per pound. 1t costs
10 cents per pound to produce 1t, and
every fractional cent under that price
is clear loss to the producer.-Abbe-
vile Press and Banner.

Wild West Show for the President In
Wyoming.

Rawlins, Wyo., October 4.-Presi-
den Taft spent today in Wyoming
and left Rawlins after a ten-minutes'
stop tonight for Salt Lake City, Utah,
where he expects to spend tomorrow.
During the day the president stopped
at Cheyenne and Laramie. At Chey-
enne, Charlie Irwin, Of the reception
committee, had arranged a miniature
reproduction of the stunts" made
famous at the annual frontier day
celebration. Mr.. Taft watched the
bucking bronchos, the races between
cowboys, and the roping Of wild
horses with great interest.
There were about sixty cowboys
cowgirls, "broncho busters" and other
western types in the cast. Mr.. Taft
watched the performance from the
judges stand with United States Sen
ator Warren and Governor Carey,
and appeared to enjoy exceedingly
the riding of bucking and outlaw
horses.
Charley Irwin showed himself q
good stage manager, however, by re-
naming some of the ponies entered

As Told From Rome.-The bonn
bardment of Tripoli was resumed this
morning with the object Of completing
the destruction of the batteries. UP to
6 o'clock this evening no official con-
flrmation of the surrender of Tripoli
could be obtained.
A message from Admiral Thaon di
Revel says the action yesterday ap-
peared more like a shooting competi-
ton than a bombardment. officers
and sailors placed wagers on the re-
suit In one instance an order was
given to dismantle particular bat
terry. One gunner was heard to say:
"I bet I can knock down the left tur-
ret at the first shot"
When the smoke had cleared away
the same voice spoke again: Now the
right turret."
In a flash the second mark was in
ruins.
The government executed a bit Of
strategy at the expense of the corre-
spondents sent to Tripoli. They were
permitted to go to the scene OF war
on vessels of the fleet. The corre-
spondents, however, had not been long
in Tripoli when, upon the preteXt that
the bombardment was to begin and II
was necessary to secure their safety,
they were taken aboard the warships
and bottled up" at sea without being
able to describe subsequent events

WHAT COTTON COSTS.
Price Must Be Good to Make Any
thinq.

The fact that cotton at from five to
eight cents per pound left the south
blanketed with mortgages that were
not removed until the staple advanced
above ten cents per pound, raises the
inquiry, what does the production Of
cotton cost per pound?
In determining this it is necessary
to suppose the producer, stripped of
resources, save his strength or If con-
tributing property is used, to figure off
interest on the contributing property
invested A little figuring on this
basis will show the approximate cost
per pound.
The average crop of cotton per horse
over the cotton belt is less than six
bales to the horse. This we state as
certainty, though we do not now recall
