Septus1 Sept. 22.-It matters not
what kind OF storm that comes In
| the shape OF wars, strikes and panics.
the poor old Southern cotton farmer
never fails to get lightning struck Hell
Is always in the storm center, it
makes no difference from which direc-
ton 1t comes. Nothing never happens
out of the ordinary to boost the price
OF his product. but nine times out of
ten the price of his hard labor goes
in the opposite direction.
For the past decade the army worm
the boil worm, the boil wevil, the
caterpillar and the cotton gambler,
with the consent OF our National gov
ernment, have been ---straddlc" of
the poor old fellows neck and now in
the midst OF great crisis, when the
poor cid goose that lays the golden
egg Is drawing the breath next to
the last one, everybody is rushing for
ward In an effort to save the poor old
things life. and well they might re.
In this trying time we try tc ne an
optimist, we try TO see the bright sun
shine beyond the dark cloud. but one
thing sure. IL the Southern cotton

anything of the republicans, they willl
