OF
THE COTTON CROP

The cotton situation which has de-
veIoped lately is one full of complica-
tions, and about the only safe advice
we can give to farmers is to hold
their cotton. Unfortunately, good
many of them are SO placed they can
not carry out the advice.
Last year there was a boom in cot
ton, or rather in cotton prices; agents
well supplied with money went out in
the country buying the staple right
and left The farmers got the best of
it, but the ginners were overloaded
and the men higher up were stung.
There is a great deal of sea island
cotton left over from last year, and
the leaders of the cotton trade mot
the speculators) desire to hold up
ginning until the old crop is out of
the way This is sound business poll
cy--if the new crop is unloaded now,
nobody but spectators will make
anything. And if the cotton is ginned,
there is no way of keeping it off the
market.
The proper thing to do is for all the
farmers who can to hold their cotton,
and for ginners to help those who
can't. This we believe most of them
will do.
In the meantime, Ocala is losing
one of her best bets by not building
a big cotton warehouse.

Ocala's flag salute ordinance is not
entirely successful, but from COM
ments in other papers we judge it is
as well or better observed than in
most other towns. Perhaps that is
owing to the sensible manner in
which it is carried out. There is no
attempt made to enforce" it; it is
only managed in a way that causes
those who thru carelessness or stub
bornness disregard it to feel that
they are unpleasantly conspicuous. In
our opinion it is more and more close
ly observed as time goes on.

anything else and boy six months

them up. To make up a telegraph
page, with even half its space given

great mechanical skill and lots of
hard work. 1t doesn't take time, be-

journalist who writes great thoughts

the paper goes to press if he wants
to find out what real work is.

One of the most obvious lies ever
sprung on the people of this county
by SPECTATORS is the assertion that
the British government is going to
let the United States have $4,000
bales of Egyptian cotton. Britain
needs. every pound of cotton she can
obtain, and with a thirteen million
bale crop coming in in the United
States anybody who supposes ship
room will be spared to send the staple
to us five thousand miles across the
ocean from Egypt is too big fool to

Whenever an American journalist
can't think of anything else to write,
he generally makes a jab with his

that Congress deserves good deal
of criticism. However, take it all

the most intelligent and useful rep

even ahead of the British parlia-

hundreds of years before our Con-
