Farmers Still Plantin; Oats and Wheat
Weddings i'm t':>, ,car Future.

iSSdH, JAN. GA II a long tlme
of cold and wet weat. r, it now looks
as If we will have su. shine. Some
wheat and oats have not been planted
owing to the wet. The usual moving
is going on. 1t looks as if people like
it, for some move every year.
Labor is more plentiful than usual
and l guess will be more so in the fu-
ture. From what can hear there is
great deal of suffering among the
poor, especially those depending on
their daily work for a living.
A number of newspapers seem to
think there is a lot Of money in the
land the way they are calling on the
farmers to pay when there is no mon
ey to do so. We hope the papers will
tell us how to get little money next
year to run the farms, their advice
will be highly appreciated; but serious
ly, IL the farmers would sell now it
would relieve the situation. They
will not get any more than the local
market brings. All help talked of 10
aid them is baby prattle. said so
at the beginning of the cotton season,
l say so now, and l don't see much
prospect for it to go higher.
If Cleveland was president he would
teach England a lesson about search
ing American vessels on the seas. The
war of 1912 was brought on by un-
reasonable searches Of American ves-
sells by England and history may re-
peat itself unless she quits. She needs
a man to talk to her, not a child.
The State law reducing the cotton
acreage to one-third Of what is culti-
waited is entirely unconstitutional. If
the State has that power, it can tell
man how much to spend on his house
hold and what crops and how much to
plant. 1t is a clear invasion Of a per-
sons private rights and it's police pow
er can't extend that far. The differ
ence what will be planted under the
law and what would be planted, If
there as no law would not be q drop in
the bucket. No other State has it, and
what this State does will not affect
market at all. After last years ex-
perience with raising cotton if a man
keeps on planting it as usual, he is
Ia fool, and I don't believe any will
do so. It is going to be hard on the
people this year and the most rigid
economy will have to be practiced in
all lines of business.

is easy TO say that by merging

but hard to prove. To cinch
the thing Mr.. Lewis should have
had a bill enacted providing
that we should have cheaper
water by merging: that all our
arc lights should be retained ;
that the police force should not
be reduced; that our fire truck
would not be taken from us and
the paid firemen discharged; that
taxes would be no higher;
that property would not depre-
ciate in value; that parents
would not have TO buy new
school books for their children;
that the East st. Johns passenger
depot would not be abandoned; /;
that a branch municipal office
would be conducted in St. Johns;
that all classes in the high school
building would be maintained;
that the city dock would not be
disposed of to a railroad company
or any other concern; in fact,
that no disadvantages would
ensue from merging. His little
tribute TO the teachers will no
doubt be appreciated by them.
OF course it was not a scheme
