BIG PRICES

Over in Pine Bluff a bale of cotton sold for Sis the
pound. AT these prices the planters who raise long staple cotton
will have to build silos or great cribs out in the field in which to
store their money.
An enterprrang young planter from near Rosedale has Ao
bales OF cotton for which he was offered 90 cents the pound. lie
refused it, believing that it would 80 to one dollar. This cotton
will bring in a large amount of money, and there is much OF the
same sort throughout the long staple section.
This surely is the harvest time for the long staple planters,
and, while the cost Of production is greater than ever before, the
price at which it sells leaves a large margin of profit No wonder

break even, and many years showed a considerable loss when the
books were balanced. lie is now recovering these losses and
making up for the years spent in raising cotton at cost and with
ont profit or compensation for his time and labor.
There are intelligent people who never expected to see cotton
go to Is cents, and who considered themselves highly fortunate
to receive - cents for their product. This, OF course, was when
food and feed were cheap, and when cotton could be produced at
a fraction of what it costs to produce il at the present time, II
is the South's inning. Time was when the wheat farmers Of the
Northwest were content to take forty or fifty cents a bushel for
their grain. and when freight rates were SO high that they found
ii cheaper To burn wheat and corn than to exchange these prod
ucts for coal. The farmers day came long ago and still abides.
He has retrieved his losses and collected compensation Tor the
time and labor spent in a profitless or losing enterprise,
The planters time has also come, and it would appear that of
a truth everything comes to him who waits. Some had to wait
a long and a discouraging time, but finally the clouds dispersed
and the sun OF prosperity came out in all its glory and Is shining
brightly at the present time.

include a seat in the house Of lords. This latter he wishes to rid

spent years and millions in reaching the coveted position. 1t

Things are worth the value we place upon them, and apr
praisements differ vastly. The Braganza diamond, for instance,
the largest in the world, weighs 1880 carats and is valued at
8,3500O pounds sterling 1t belongs to the crown jewels Of
Portugal, and some years ago, when Manuel became infatuated
with the French dancing girl il was feared that he had given
her this treasure among others, 1t is still safe in the national
treasury. Many experts claim that it is not as valuable as pop
ular estimate has it, 1t is about the size OF a hens egg, and some
experts incline to the opinion that it is not a diamond at all, but
a white topaz, in which case its value would be trifGng, The
Kohinoor once weighed 795 "a carats, but a Venetian lapidary
reduced it to 1876 carats. 1t was again cut and reduced to 100
carats, and when presented to Queen Victoria in l849 was said
TO be worth 10000 pounds sterling. Neither OF these great gems
would be worth as much as 4 loaf Of black bread to a starving
man, or a glass OF water to a thirsty man i'll a desert, 1t Is
the same thing with most OF the prizes OF life. We put an eX-
aggerated estimate on their value just as the elder Astor did on

necessary for public-spirited citizens TO volunteer their services
