No matter who is right or wh is wrong in thdir quarrels amor . h %mn t%he Cotton Associi tion and the Farlmers' Union, % are to have 11 ets. or more, or tl1ia is no trade for sure. About how many acres of cotto have you seen this yoar that won pay for tlio guano used at 10 cot ft. sotton? Do you know who it is that go( { about shying around getting u those cotton reports you hear s much about? About six times 01 of seven he is a little sneaking si rascal that knows well how to c such jobs up to the interest of co ton bears. Present pricos-10 cts. for cotto is justified by Government report this basis of Government repor would call for over 11 ets. for co ton. 10 cts. is big room for spe< ulators.

The whole truth about thie sroj is the very thing that these shroui cotton rnanipulators don't wal S-they report a large lot of farmie that are making as rauch or mo: cotton this year than they did las but they stop right there and don enquire for the facts in tihe cas The large matjorty of those me have increased their own cropa < cotton by planting lands that we: cultivated last year by tenants < othors, while their whole farn will not average much above ha last years crop. Ilrothren, he0 of (oid Cheer- Theii lar est Hour of the Night are said to bie .1 ua liefote Dlay. Weo have good news coming cheer1 you uip thatt can only I given you underO dooms. Many theories have been a vanced as to what would be the best plans of getting your cotton directly to the spinner upon the cheapest plans. But sooner or later many of these have been shown to be theories only and have coffered no practical solutions of the problem of direct trade with the spinners of our cotton. All along we have been bambooseled into the belief that it was abso lutely necessary to have a tremend ous capital put up for this hsi ness, including personal investiga tion by some of our best business men, we are convinced that every bale of cotton carries within itself suflicient currency or capital to de liver it to the spinner anywhere upon the farce of the earth. All the bluff and blow about it being necessary to create a large capital-like cotton speculators have to do-before cotton growcrs can have a direct channel of Itrade with the spinners of the world is a fallacy. Closo investigation of the cotton trado, as carried oin by many, will reveal the fact that pro ducers of cotton have all along furnished the capital in the way Y of cotton margins itself sufficient to conduct the business. - Don't talk any more about the producers of cotton having to have more money than he already has in his own cotton bales in order to go into direct deals with spinners. A way is being opened up to the >r Farmers' Union for direct trade e with the spinners that is beyond doubt the most practical and cheap est plan ever offered and is abso o lutely sate to all parties. g , L- Mr. Slow Pay. e We heard a merchant, remark c some months ago, that he found out that it certain party who had n done some trading with him was 't mighty slow pay, and that for it this reason he did not care to sell him goods. And yet this inan as had it in his pow P to meet his p obligation as promptly as any o man in the community, and he it might have stood as high with y business men as any one of his o fellow citizens, and instead of t- having them shun him and refuse him credit, he could have caused n them to seek his trado, and de s; sire to sell to him. Of course, a he was not a rich man, but he t- handled ready cash enough to . live like a gentleman and to move in the best cirles. d.The remark of this merchant impressed us and made us feel that it was a great pity for one to be careless in the management dof his financial affairs. It is so t unjust not only to a man himself, but to his family. It is impossi ble for them to have, that social recognition that they would have were their.parent prompt in meet, bItg bins 00b$$ o6 fo'r'Me-i a feeling among people that such a man is wanting in honor and ethat always hurt. And then: it pots a man to great disadvantoge in the matter aof making purchases. Not only dis hiB trade not wanted' but when dho makes a purchase, he ueually has to pay more than the man re does who meets his obligations tpromptly and cheerfully.

A well known yachtsman was de scribing a winter lhe spent at Nice. "But the Nice beggars!" he said, laughing. "The splendid, sun drench ed Promenade des Anglais, with its ivory white villas on one side and the blue Mediterranean on the other, is al ways haunted with these beggare. "One of them accosted me. one morn tng as I came. out of the Cele Medi terranee, a fashionable French club. "'Monsieur,' be said, 'one 11itsou, for the love of heaven3.

"'But, wmunseur, said the beggar, 'I have a new wite now.' " A Quaint Battaph. The following epitaph is copied from a tombstone in Brandon, Vt., marking the grav, of a child who died at the age of a few days: Sweet mtaid, she stanced Into .our world to see A sample of our misery. Sihe turned away her languid eye To drop a tear or two and aigh. Sweet maId, she tasted of life's bitter cup, Refused to drink her portion up.

Fromt i ,legra)hle orders receivff here 1:on the try d:'artmnent ^t Washiniigton, stopping all work Onl the old wooden dry dock, it Is belie.ved that this historic structure which hsa held some of the most famous fight ing ships of three American wars, Is to be condewned. The dock has been in active service since 1850 and among the vessels it has held are the Oonetitution, the Kearsarge and the Raleigh. The original cost of the dock was over half a million of dol lnrs. In the past two years over $100,000 has been expended in un successful efforts to make it service able and there is understood to be official opposition to spend any more money on it.

Greenwich llage, In New York city, was first brought into prominence when Sir Peter Warren, descendd from an ancient' Irish family and vice admiral of the British fleet, sett-led the,re iii 1744. IIe married Susaunah De Lancey and settled on a frme estate of more than 800 acres, running from Christopher street to West Twenty first. It was laid out like an English pirrif, with splendid hedges and ave nues of 'trees and a fine old wnansion, which was the resort of all the quality of old New York. His three daughters all made brilliant marriages in Eng land. One became the Countess of Abingdon, and her name is preserved in Abingdon square.. On the division of the estate at Sir Peter's death the homestead fell to her. She sold it to Abijah Hammond, who sold it to Abra ham Van Nest, and It is still remem bered by many as the old Van Nest house, demolished in 1805. Among other distinguished persons who have lived in Greenwich were Oliver De Lancey, William Bayard, Washington, Vice President and Mrs. John Adams, Aaron Burr and Tom Paine.
