Farmers Holding Cotton.

Very few bales of cotton are
being sold in this county. Our
farmers are either keeping their
cotton in the seed or hauling the
bales back home as soon as they
are ginned. OF course there are
isolated farmers who must sell
their cotton to meets pressing
debts, but a large majority of
our farmers are q position to
meet their obligations without
sacrificing their staple. The
United States will do nothing to
help the Southern farmer, and
we must depend on ourselves.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

In our paper today we publish

next general election. These
amendments are published by
the Secretary of State for infor-

we'll to carefully read them and
then file copy of the paper

reference. Before the election
we will take up these amend
ments one by one and explain
what they mean. We are un-
alterably opposed to the amend
ments increasing the number ol
Judges and extending their terms
of office to eight years.

hear all sides of every public

then make up their minds know

NOTES ABOUT COTTON.

The cotton crop in this county Il
pretty we'll gathered only few scat
tering locks remaining in the fields.
Very few bales are being sold. We
had fine weather for gathering the
crop and the staple grades we'll.
The Census Department shows that
up to October I'd, 1914, in Jones coun-
ty, 1883 bales we're ginned, against
96o bales to the same date in 1913; in
Covington' 772 against 556; in Jasper,
s47 against 313; in Smith, 1895 against
72l; in Wayne, 1853 against 44s. The
same ratio of increased production
holds all over TIE State.
Farmers over the South are not SELL
ing their cotton and the market is be.
ginning to stiffen. Mills must begin
to buy and there is no coston for sale
at the low market price. The banks
are arranging to advance $3.50, 900, 0C0
on cotton, loaning the grower cents
per pound. England also promises to
help out. II general acreage reduc-
tion movement is organized. farmers
will yet receive fair price for their
present cotton crop.
The following table of cotton pro-
duction and prices during our civil
war will be interestingl

of the surplus crop. The war
can't last always, and when it
ends cotton will bring high
prices. 1t is believed that the
South will this year make about
I6, 100000 bales of cotton, the
largest crop ever known. But
the world will need every pound
OF that cotton. There seems to
be general sentiment among
farmers to next year cut their
cotton acreage in half. But you
can never tell what farmers are
going to do until the crop is
pitched.

Machine-Made Prayer.

Before the Sunday set aside by the
President for the people to meet in
different churches and offer up pray
ers for peace, we notice the columns of
daily papers in the large cities filled
with sample petitions to the Throne OF
Grace, prepared by leading ministers
OF the Gospel. 1t seemed that there
was something of a ravalry among
those preachers as to which could
frame the prettiest sounding praye-.
Now far be it from our intent or desire
to cast the sli -htest reflection on sac
red things. But to be entirely candid,
we doubt very much If one of those
pot-metal, machine made, hand 'em-
down prayers will ever reach higher
than the ceiling of the church where put
up. They are framed more to delight
to ear of man and for beauty of ex-
preston, than to reach the Almighty.
We have a thousand times more
faith in the prayer offered in some
rural or village church, where the
good man in the pulpit pours forth a
petition and which comes from the
bottom of his heart, and not memoriz-
ed from another S words, to please and
delight the habitanrs of this earth
Our city churches are given over toe
much to display at the loss of deep.
Gated, earnest, unoste ntatious piety.

let them be cut up into tracts Of
100 acres, and then sold condi-
toned that those who bid them
in must live on and cultivate the
land.
He believes in separating
youthful convicts from hardened
felons, and the State reserving
enough land for them to work
and raise food stuffs for our diff
ferent department.
I This is q splendid solution OF
the convict problem and one
adopted by Georgia and other
States with so much success.
Georgia is being checked with
good highways without imposing
bond issues upon the people.
Besides, our penitentiary man
agement hap become so corrupt
and venal that it is a stink in
the nostrils of every honest
citizen. 1t has been a rich pas
ture for thieves and grafters.
Mr.. Riley believes in our State
treating railroads and every
other corporation fairly and
justly. He says the stockholders
have right to a fair return on
their investment. But he does
not think it fair for railroads to
be allowed to haul one class of
passengers, and who are able to
buy thousand mile books, for
two cents per mile and charge all
others three cents a mile. He
believes in fixing regular fare
for all travellers, so that whether
a person rides FIVE miles or e
thousand miles their passenger
tariff will be the same. He is
exactly right also in this.
There are other planks in Mr..
Riley's platform all which are as
wise and just as the above. We
believe that the voters of Missis-
sippi will heartily agree with him
in his every declaration.
We are anxious to hear from
the other candidates for Guber-
honors, and promise
them in behalf of the people of
Jones county a courteous, at
tentive hearing.
We have always urged our
readers not to be lead away by
men, but to demand that the
they support stand for
certain principles to promo to the
public veal and happiness.
