POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

The two senators who were the first
to leave Washington when the session
of the upper house closed for the holt
days, will be among the last to return.
They are Senators Cummins and
Young of Iowa. Senator Young has
seen only three weeks of actual SER
vice but he likes it so we'll that he
wants to return for full term, while
Senator Cummins is working for the
election of more progressive repub-
lican to fill the seat made vacant by
the death of Senator J. p. Dolliver.
The present house of representa-
tives consists of 391 members. With
the increased population recorded in
the last census the next house would
have membership of 430, an increase
tai are included members from the
new states of Arizona and New Mex
leo. Political mathematicians figure
that in hundred years, should the
recent ratio of increase continue, the
house would consist of a thousand
members.

HAS ENLARGED ITS SYSTEM
The Cotton Belt Telephone Co. Has
Bought BlakeIy, Arlington and
Columbia Systems.


The Cotton Belt Telephone and
Telegraph Co., which already has
exchanges in Shellman, Cuthbert,
Fort Gaines, Edison and many other
towns of this section and including
long distance lines, has recently con-
siderably enlarged its system. Mr..
j. M. Bell of Dawson is president of
the company. The last issue of the
Arlington Courier says:
THE Cotton Belt Telephone and
Telegraph Co. has bought out the
business of the BIakely Telephone
Co., which includes the local tele-
phone systems of Arlington, Kest-
Ter, Blakely and Columbia, Ala, and
the long distance lines between these
points.
The deal and transfer of the
property was consummated a few
days ago, and Manager O'Farrell of
the Cotton Belt Co. has been in Ar
lington making preparations to be-
gin at once improving the system
here, and states that his company

WHY is ALL THIS RACKET?
Strange Attitude of People and Sem
satiOnal Clergy Toward One
Particular Marriage.

Abuse of John Jacob Astor and
his bride by the official moralists
having spent itself the sensational
clergy and other censors have now
taken to throwing things at the min
lister who consented to marry the
much-discussed pair, says the New
York Press.
1t would have been wrong in the
eyes of the law of the state for Col
Astor to marry in New York. 1t
would have been unlawful in the
eyes of the Episcopal church for any
clergyman of that faith to marry
Col. Aston and Miss Force. Neither
Col. Aston nor any Episcopal clergy
man violated either of those laws.
There is no good evidence that any
one was attempting to violate either
of those laws.
In marrying in Rhode Island Col.
Astor broke no law of that state.
In marrying the two the Rhode Is
land Congregations minister broke
no law of his church. What, then, is
all the fuss about? Thousands of
divorced couples are married every
year. Divorced persons forbidden to
marry in one state are commonly
married elsewhere. Is it possible
that it is only because Col. Astor
has a fortune of several millions
that he is singled out for so much
more public criticism than is given
to others in lower stations socially
who have done and do the very same
thing he has done?
We are forced to detect in the
censure of the Aston marriage a GER
tain trace of the unconscious tribute
of snobbishness to the fashionable
principals in that contract.

TO HOLD FOR FIFTEEN CENTS
is ADVICE GIVEN BY THE MONT
GOMERY CONVENTION.
Is 12,5OO,OOO Bale Crop. All Cot
ton States Will Be Asked to
Ratify the Action.

MONTGOMERY, AIa.-Five hun
dred farmers and as many bankers,
congressman, United States senators
and business men, representing ev-
cry cotton growing state in America,
declared in convention today that
the farmers cotton is worth Is cents
a pound, and resolved that the farm
err should hold his cotton for that
price. The resolution followed a
committee report that the crop in
America would not exceed 12,500,-
900 bales.
For financing the crop of this year
a resolution was adopted to the eff
feet that the farmer should deposit
his cotton in a warehouse and use
his receipt as collateral until he
could sell his cotton at not less than
Is cents There was also a resolu-
ton urging that the several state
legislatures should provide for a sys-
tenn of bonded warehouses.
Declaring that organization
among the farmers and cooperation
among them with the bankers and
fnanciers was the solution of the
problem the convention resolved it
self into a permanent organization
to be known as the Southern Cotton
Congress, and adjourned to meet in
Atlanta at the call Of the president,
E. ]. Watson, commissioner of agri-
culture of South Carolina.
States viii Act.
The meeting in Montgomery is to
be followed by a similar convention
in every Southern state to be called
by the commissioner of agriculture
of each state. By these conventions
the action of the congress is to be
ratified and reinforced by further
steps toward securing a better price
for cotton.
Among the speakers at the con-
vention today were Senator E. D.
N'AAAASAA VI SOuI1 CdIOIlLdy WHO re-
ceived the thanks of the congress
for his attitude in congress toward
4he government cotton report; Con-
gresham Heflin of Alabama, Con-
gresham Henry D. Clayton of Ala
bama, and Dudley M. Hughes, con-
gresham from the Third district of
Georgia. Oscar w. Underwood, ma
jority leader of the house of repre-
sentatiYes, chairman of the Ways
and Means cOmpittee, sat in the
audience.
1t was Senator Smith who perhaps
made the speech which decided the
congress in its naming the price of
cotton at Is cents, for Congressman
Hefin wanted to make the price Is
or IA cents, with IA cents as the
minimum. Congressman Clayton in
his speech declared his belief that in
ten years time the world would be
using 25,O00,O0O or 3O,OO0,00O bales
of American cotton.
