BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON

There Is one remedy and only one
remedy for low.prIcod cotton We
must quit the one.crop system and re.
sort to diversified farming and stock
raising, We must live at home, board
at the same pleaco, wear our old
clothes, use our old buggIes, and live
IN our old houses until we get out Of
debt, We will then be free American
citizens and in position to secure an
equitable price for our cotton,
There Is no sane man who does not
know that we will get more money for
ten million bales than we will for hf.
teen million bales, The history Of the
past 20 years Is proof positive Of this
statement We all know that large
crops Of cotton mean low price and
that q low price for cotton means poy'
crty and wrotchodness all over the
south, This being true, why Will
southern farmers and their wives and
children work In large cotton fields In
the heat and cold for about 800 days
IN the year to grow q large crop Of
cheap cotton to pay for hIghprleed
corn, bacon lard, mules, and other
farm products with the profits Of sew
crNl mIddlomon, railroads, and supply
merchants 0ddcd2 There Is no son,
sible reason,
The too exclusive culture Of cotton
has forced the price Of cotton far be.
low an equitable ono and established
the credit system As long a8 south.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBE THAT
EMRALMS THE TROPHIES.
Method Employed Reduces the Grisly
Relics to the Size Of a Billiard
Ball With Charging or
Mutllatina Features.

The little-known Indian tribes that
nhabit the more distant provinces of
he South American republic of Ecue-
dor, in almost entire independence,
have a strange custom of preparing
he heads of their vanquished enemies
IN manner which reduces them to
extremely small dimensions, without
changing or mutilating the features.
For many years a war of extermina-
ton has been going on between the
various tribes. Ambushes and night
attacks are of frequent occurrence,
and the parties often march dozens of
eagues to surprise their enemies.
The head of the vanquished chief is
cut off and becomes the most esteemed
booty of the victorious leader. 1t is
then, in due time. desiccated and re-
iuced by the latter by means of proc
ess, the secret of which has SO far
been jealously guarded. AS far as is
known, the skull, jawbones and feshy
parts are entirely removed without the
skin of the head and face suffering any
damage, and the only trace of the
operation is a small incsion in the
nape of the neck which is afterward
sewn together again.
After removal of the bony and softer
parts of the skull the skin is filled with
hot stones and vegetable concoction,
the secret of which, as well as that OF
the process, is carefully guarded. This
procedure is continued until the head
is shrunk to the dimension of a good
sized billiard ball and has become
as dry and tough as sole leather.
1t is remarkable that during the pro-
cess neither the natural luster of the
hair nor its quantity is diminished,
that eyebrows and lashes remain in
tact, and that even the grain of the
skin with the fine hairs are plainly
listinguishable after the preparation
IS completed.
The process lasts about one year,
and the head during that time hangs
in smoke, for which purpose a stout
string is drawn through the upper part
If it. The lips are sewed together in
order to prevent the dead enemy from
speaking and eating, and the long
threads br which it is done remain at
tached and hanging from the mouth.
The trophy, which by the reduction
has lost its ghastliuess, is kept in
niche in the hut OF the chief, stuck on
the end of spear. During the three
years succeeding the killing, feasts,
/ lasting three days, are held on the an
niversaries of the victory, during
which the shrunken head is exhibited.
After three years the victor may dis
pose of his trophy in any way he sees
fit, but this is rarely done, as the head
forms war trophy of the highest
honor.
