Don'ts for Cotton Growers.
manufacturers Record.

manufacturers Record.
Don't be mislcd into selling your
cotton at five or six cents a pound. as
you were last fall. by political and
other pessimists.
Don't get frightened and rush your
cotton to market except to- the extent
that you have To sell Il to meet your
financial obligations. for the undue
crowding OF cotton on the market
plays into the hands OF the specula-
tors. who by the tactics now being
employed would break down the price
OF your cotton and enable them TO
buy Il to their profit and to your loss,
as they did last year
Don't expect either this government
or any other to buy your cotton. The
government has no more right to buy
cotton than to buy grain or hogs.
Don't look for any uneconomic and
impossible legislation In behalf of cot
ton. for most OF the theories advanced
have bordered on asininity. and some
of them have quite reached that
stage,
Don't for n moment think that you
can barter your honor and your soul
and shape your convictions as to right
or wrong In world affairs for the
price OF bale Of cotton.
Don't seek TO blackmail other coun-
tries by threatening retaliation be-
cause their work may interfere with
the temporary selling price Of your
cotton.
Don't permit politicians or Others
to hold you up before the world as
willing TO accept a bribe. and to shape
yoUr judgment Of right and wrong
In human affairs by the price that
This country or that might be willing
60 pay for your cotton.
Don't forgct that though you have
raised moro cotton than the South
ought to have produced. there Is an
intrinsic value in cotton which can
not be permanently destroyed.
Don't forget that you can carry
your cotton for years without its
deterioration. and that the time will
come. unless the South continues to
grow more cotton than the world de-
mands, when every bale OF cotton
will be needed at a good price.
Don't defraud your creditors by re-
fusing to sell cotton to meet your
obligations. but when you have sold
enough To pay your debts. don't for
get that the balance Is yours To hold
until doomsday IL you please. and
await the time when the world will
pay your price for 1t.
Don't above all else. permit your
self TO be mlsled into believing that
your cotton is worth more than your
honor: that your cotton must set
your standard OF morals I'm studying
world affairs.
Don't forget that he who poses the
the cotton growers OF the south be-
fore tho world as bcggars asking
aims. or as regarding bale OF cot
ton of more value than human life,
or the price OF a pound OF cotton more
To be considered than individual and
national honor. Is the worst enemy
which the South has ever had or ever
eau have.

GOULDS LOSE CONTROL
BUT NOT MONEY
Although Control of Railroads Passes
From Hands Fortunes
Increase
Special to the independent.


NEW YORK, March 9.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Missouri Pacific Railway company,
which is to take place tomorrow at
st. Louis, will mark the final passing
OF the Gould interests as controlling
factors in American railroads. When
Jay Gould died in 1892, he left an es-
tate valued at upwards of $500 0 900,
the bulk of which was represented by
stocks and bonds of railroad compa-
MES, the Manhattan Elevated and the
Western Union Telegraph company.
The Missouri Pacific, The Wabash and
the st. Louis Southwestern we're un-
der the Gould control. To these
George Gould added the Denver and
Rio Grande and the Western Pacific
and the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
the Western Maryland, which gave
him a system of over II, 900 miles, the
largest in the country, and the first to
actually extend from coast to coast.
In recent years these properties have
slipped one by one from Gould con-
troll. Strange as 1t may seem, this
record never has impaired George ].
Gould's reputation as one OF the abb
est flnanciers in New York. Today,
after having lost control of virtually
all OF the great properties with which
they once were identified, the Goulds,
individually and collectively, are be.
lieved to be vastly richer than they
were at the time of Jay Gould's death.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA

Nervous dyspepsia is a disease of the
nerves, not of the stomach.
Indigestion one day and complete
freedom from symptoms the next
usually mean nervous dyspepsia, es-
pecially if the patient is of a nerv-
GUS or highly emotional temperament.
The attacks recur at more or less
regular intervals and are often brought
on by nervous excitement. A sick feel
ing after eating. sometimes vomiting,
a weak, shaky, gone" feeling when
the stomach is empty-these are the
usual symptoms, but in the case OF
some highly nervous people the sight
of food or the approach of time
may cause vomiting.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are espe-
Cially useful to sufferers from
dyspepsia as they not only build up the
general physical condition but also act
directly on the nerves, Strengthening
and ~revitalizing them. These pills
with proper regulation of the diet,
afford the most correct and successful
way in which nervous and functional
dyspepsia a be treated.
A postal a request to the DIR.
Williams Medicine CO., Schenectady,
n. Y, will bring a copy of a useful
diet book and q pamphlet on nervous
disorders, both free of cost to you.
