COTTON 0UTLOOKIN
TALLAPOOSA BAD
Plant Deteriorates Rapidly
During the Past Fort
Night

Dadeville. September -tepecial)-rhe
farmers and merchants Of this section are
facing a gloomy prospect because OF the
rapid deterioration Of the cotton plant
within the past 10 days.
Because Of the excessive and continued
rains OF early spring the crop was
pitched late on unprepared lands. and
poorly cultivated. producing sappy plant
which has been unequal to the task OF
withstanding the summer dry weather.
Four weeks Of dry, hot August has
played havoc with the cotton fields, which
already presented sorry outlook.
Questioning several we'll known farmers
elected the following opinions:
j. Tom Pogue said: Last year I made
1853 bales; with Is more acres in this
year / am expecting 10 bales less. have
ginned seven bales and 1t is taking 1850
pounds of seed cotton to make 500 pound
bale of lint. This Is because the excess
sive heat in this drouth is opening 1t pre-
maturely."
H. W. Craddock and John Albeit, two
other prominent farmers ARE of the opin-
ion that the crop is at least 20 per cent
short of last year.

a party which once knew greatness
Too long have we been blind to the
bacchanal of corruption. Too long
have we listlessly watched the as
sembling of the forces that threaten
our country and our firesides The
time has come when the salvation of
the country demands the destruction
of the leaders of a debauched party
and the restoration to place and pow
er of men of high ideals who will
wage unceasing war against corrup-
tion in politics, who will enforce the
law against both rich and poor, and
who will treat guilt as personal and
punish it accordingly.
For their crimes against Ameri-
can citizenship the present leaders of
the republican party should be de-
stroyed.
For making and keeping the bar
gain to take care of the tariff-pro-
tected interests in consideration of
campaign funds, they should be de-
stroyed
For encouraging the creation of
combinations to restrain trade and
refusing to enforce the law, for a
like consideration they should be de-
stroyed
fOr the lavish waste oil public
funds, for the fraudulent disposition
of the peoples domain and for their
contribution toward the division of
the people into classes, they should
be destroyed.
For the efforts to seize for the
executive department of the federal
government powers rightfully belong
ing to the states, they should be de-
stroyed.
"All destruction will be theirs, this
very year, if we but do our duty.
What is our duty? To think
alike as to men and measures? In
possible! Even for our great party!
| There is not a reactionary among us.
All democrats are progressives. But
ii is inevitably human that We shall
not all agree that in single high
way is found the only road to pro-
gress or each make the same man of
all our worthy candidates his first
choice.
1T is possible, however, and it is
our duty to put aside all selfshness,
to consent cheerfully that the ma
| jority shall speak for each of us, and
to march out of this convention
shoulder to shoulder, intoning the
| praises of our chosen leader-and
that will be his due, whichever the
honorable and able men now claim
ing our attention be chosen"
