A DISASTROUS COTTON CROP
OUTLOOK.

The governments report. indicating
the lowest average condition OF the
growing cotton crop in the last so
years, which is practically confirmed
by the estimates of other authorities,
will justly startle the cotton world.
At time when European spinners and
others have been insisting that any
thing short of a $4,000. 000-bale crop in
the United States would be world
disaster, we have an indication OF a
crop of less than 100000 bales.
Even this estimate may have to be
further reduced because of the activ-
ity of the boll-weevil and of the un-
favorable conditions which prevail in
growing this crop.
The world which will suffer be-
cause of high priced cotton will not
even have the privilege of criticizing
the South for not putting in a large
acreage. The acreage is larger than
the South was able to plant and Gull
tiyate. On this point the South has
gone the limit with it's small labor
supply. and while the wheat growers
of the West have reduced their acre
age by about 100000 acres. or Is
per cent, as compared with last year.
the South has planted practically the
same cotton acreage as last year.
We shall not undertake to make any
predictions as to what the price for the
cotton now on hand and that to be
raised should be. based on the profit
which the cotton spinners of the world
have been making by buying the raw
materials for below its intrinsic value
measured by profits. but we do believe
that the present price of cotton is far
below its intrinsic value measured by
the cost of production alone and also
by the worlds needs.-Manufacture

climate to offer the people of the
states and provinces to the north.
Visitors who have spent the summer
months in the beautiful southern Pc
ninsular. the Italy of America, have
been reporting complete satisfaction
with the experience for the year past
Every year more tourists from the
north have taken up summer residence
in the winter resorts of Florida AS
they have returned homeward they
have told hotel keepers in Tampa, in
Jacksonville. or in Tallahassee what a
splendid summer they have spent in
Orlando. or st. Augustine, or Daytona,
or West Palm Beach. or Miami, or
Clearwater. or DeLand, or Kissimmee,
or Lakeland. or St. Petersburg, or
Punta Gorda, or Key West, but only
recently have the hotel keepers and
others grasped the possibilities that
such testimonials opened up
Those familiar with the tropics and
subtropics will tell you that the air in
those climates is always cool in the
shade. This is particularly true of
Florida, which catches the air currents
from the Atlantic as well as those from
the Gulf of Mexico. AS matter of
fact. breezes from the ocean and gulf
cools every part of Florida, and the
temperature on an average is ten de-
grees lower than it is through the
more northern southern states and
central states
The Monitor made only one mistake:
It overlooked Pensacola, which leads
the South as summer resort.

He was a young captain, and il was
during desperate fighting in France.
The shots were flying; two of his men
had been gassed, and he had TO go 200
yards through that hell TO get help.
As he was about to start back, the
surgeon said What are your chances ?''
About one in a thousand he replied.
He says that as he started. someone
seemed TO tell him to change his
course, and he did. He declares he felt
an unseen presence with him, and 1t
was a real as though it had been a
man at his side.
He heard big shell coming. II
burst 90 yards away. Had he re-
turned the way he came, it would
