POWER OF
COTTON HAS DECREASED.

Before planting large acreage
of cotton for th is year the farm
ers who are over enthusiastic on
twenty-cent cotton are invited by
Director E. r. Lloyd, of the Miss
issippi A. and M College expert
ment station to stop and think
on, think on the purchasing pow
Ell of cotton now, and when it
was selling at IL cents a pound.
In this connection Mr.. Lloyd re-
Gently said;
Everybody knows that when
cotton was at IL cents a pound,
meat ceuld be bought for 10 to
II cents pound; flour at 81 so
70 IS a barrel and corn for 60 to
70 cents bushel. Now with 20
to % cent meat, S11 flour, and
81. 15 to $1.25 corn, making the
present purchasing price of cot
ton less than the former.
OF course with the farmer who
has plenty of everything these
high prices of food don't count
for much, but ninety. five percent
of our farmers do not have what
they need, and are in no better
position than the man on a sal
ary.

In the south, it is stated they

Thousands of negroes and their
families packed in freight cars,
have come here from Georgia,
Mississippi and Alabama, many
of them sick and destitute only
to be crowded in "bandbox"
rooms in the congested negro
sections. Clad in clothes i'll fitted
for the northern climate, they
fall easy prey to pneumonia and
other diseases.

The doctor seemed unable to
give me any relief and his medi-
cine seemed to tear my stomach
all to pieces. You do not have
to take my word for what | am
telling you there are 20 people
who knew of my condition who
will tell you the same thing. My
case has been the talk of the

praising the medicine.

it. Only two weeks after / be-

DETERMINATION.

The preident may be right.
The president may be wrong. 1t
is a matter of personal opinion
but the American people are
first last and always with the
president because of his splendid
show of determination.
1t is said that everything
comes to the man who waits aud
if ever man in an exalted exc
cutive position displayed patien-
ce Woodrow Wilson is the man.
And, again, some sage OF the
past has assured US that the man
who can have patieuce can have
anything that he wants.
But President Wilson has at
last reached the end of his tether
He has stood all that he can
stand for. 1t is no longer per
sonal matter with the president
1t IS matter of sthe American
people. He has displayed dis
erection and patience. A phleg-
matte insensibility is as different
from patience as pool from a
harbour, Into the one Incidence
naturally sinks us but if we ar
rive at the other it is by encoun-
tering many an adverse wind
aud rough waves, with more
skilIul pilot az the helm than
self and a company under better
command than the passions of
the ship of state, is safe. Presi
dent Wilson does not seek to dis
pay his individuality. He is
depending altogether upon the
advice of his legal counsellors.
His ship of state is not manned
by men Of passion, but by mem.
bers OF Congress, who have for
the time being forgotten the
tides of patisanship and who
are Americans heart to heart,
soul to soul, with the pledged
purpose to uphold the determin-
alton Of President Wilson.
President Wilson has been Sc
verely criticised for his patience.
Patience, however, does not mean
indifference. We may work and
wait and trust, but there is no
necessity for being idle while We
are waiting.
President Wilson, in the char
acter Of determined man, is ap-
p.aring In new role In the war
drama. Great works are per
formed. not so much by strength
as by perseverance and patience.
These two qualities are splendid
ly shown in the mental and
physical equipment of our presi-
dent and exquisitely explain why
he should be supported in every
possible way by the American
people. .--Commercial Appeal.
