Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serions harm has result .ed.to. the growing girl through ber ignorance of nature's mysterious and ?' wonderful laws and penalties.

With only partial and crude organi zation hnrridely perfected last Febru ary, the Southern Cotton Association has saved millions./of dollars for the South in maintaining the price of cot ?t good figures, brought to the bar of Justice certain officials iii the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington for manipulating the cot ton reports, started a tidal wave of research and investigation into the uses and value of the South's great staple to the spinners and consumers of the world and built up an organi zation which is today feared and res pected throughout; the cotton trade of Europe and America. If all these things could be accom plished in a few months under well nigh insurmountable difficulties, much more can be done in the interest of the growers of the South through systematic organization in every cotton growing country and the loyalty and support of the cotton producers and business interests of the South. Each individual is an important factor in the creation of an organization pow erful enough to maitain the suprem acy of the South iu the future control \ of the great^^ sesses.^liWi individual should feel inspir^Tto contribute his support and TTTtfu^ce^-to this great movement. Each individual 'slionld feel it a per sonal and p^triolf?^uj.y to stand shoulder to shoulder witliSlus. neig bors in an effort to maitain the price of cotton at profitable figures and con tribute to the success of his individual interests and the prosperity of his country. The world's colton trade is com bined against the producers of cotton. The values of their staple which the entire civilized world depends upon for clothing is made a daily football to- be kicked about at will in the spec ulative exchanges of the country. No product from the soil is more useful to mankind, none receives harsher treatment at the hands of the buying and speculative world. The farmers of the South have solved the problem of its production through individual effort. They can likewise solve the problem of its marketing by full and Systematic organization through the Southern Cotton Association. For the Association to be effective it must have tlie active support and co-opera tion of the growers iii every cotton producing county. It has received the i the entire press of the country, the business interests and all other Far mer's Organizations in the South. The specific object of the Associa tion is to regulate the supply of raw cotton to meet the legitimate demands of consumption and maintain the price of the staple at profitable fig ures to the grower; to encourage pro per facilities for handling the staple both as to finance and storage; to seek and open up wider markets for the consumption of our colton; to bring about direct trade regulations with (he spinners of the world; to furnish "the growers correct informa tioii as to acreage iii cotton each year, j condition of plant during growing sea sons, the yield of each crop and its , distribution; tlie cost of handling, eost of manufacture, price of cotton goods and every' phase and detail of the cotton industry. The association will advise each planter the mnimum value of his staple each year and ad- : : vise and assist him in getting its true worth. The association will place all this information in the hands of its members so as to keep them posted as to an intelligent understanding of the value of the" staple and the best ways aud means to secure practical and profitable recuits. The past wo?k o? the association has proven already its enormous value to the funnel's of thc South, lt pierced, with a ray of sun shine and hope, the dark clouds thal hung so threatening over the South last spring. Through ..s efforts Hie silver lining is broadening across thc horizon each clay and the future nov looks bright and happy. No mar should be a laggard in the great move ment. The consuming world is waiting and watching for an opportunity to pierce a vital spot though the protect ing armour which the Association bas thrown around the farmers of the South. In the coming elections to be held in all the sub-divisions of the colton growing counties aud parishes in the South on the first Saturday in Decem ber, let every man respond to the call of duty and be present to enroll the 'name and elect men, good and-true, to represent you at tho county or parish meetings called on the second Satur? day in December at your county site.

New York, Special.-Immediately upon thc announcement of the result of thc election Tuesday, Mr. Hearst gave notice of contest, and evidences of fraud have accumulated rapidly ever since. At?orney General Mayer stated Thursday night that he had received information of the recovery from the North river of certain ballot boxes used in the election . He said the matter was under investigation. The contest over .the mayoralty election, inaugurated hy William Ran dolph Hearst, the Municipal Owener ship candidate, developed interesting and spectular features Thursday. For twelve hours the boxes contain ing, nearly 600,000 ballots cast in last Tuesday's election choked the streets in the vicinity of the headquarters of the hoard of electors in Sixth avenue between Forty-first and Forty-second streets. The ballot boxes had heen gathered during the night by the police and conveyed in patrol wagons to the election board's headquarters. There the officials refused to receive the .ballot boxes and the police, acting under a court order signed by Justice Gayiior, compelling the police authori ties to turn the ballots over to the election board, had nothing to do but remain outside and await the pleas ure of the election officials. COMPELLED TO RECEIVE BOXES Appraised of the situation the at torneys of Mr. Hearst appeared be fore Justice Dickey of the State Su preme Court, and secured fronrhiman ord?r compelling John R. Voorhis, president of the board of electors, to accept thc boxes. The order was ser v?d promptly and the ballots then were receipted for by the election board. Under strong guards the pat rol wagons containing the boxes were driven to various warehouses in this I city and Brooklyn, where the ballots were stored subject to the orders of the election board. State Attorney General Julius May er had a long and important confer ence with District Attorney Jerome, after which it was announced that the Attorney General's office would re main open until midnight. Superin tendent of Elections Morgan appeared before Messrs. Mayer and Jerome with six of his deputies, and placed evi dence before the prosecuting officials. . Another feature of the contest was the announcement by thc Citizens' Union that it would join the forces investigating the charges of fraud and wrong doing at Tuesday's election, its prime object being to secure a new election law in the State of New York. '. PRINTED BOGUS BALLOTS. Mr. Hearst's order was obtained ffiflg aifefi&y (ft.;,4r?y-car>fey,--r^- tft?^ culation of a story that a printing firm had been turning ont large num beds of fae simples of the official bal lot and that these were to be marked for McClellan and placed in thc bal lot boxes in place of the Hearst bal lots to be removed. The moment this rumor reached Hearst headquarters it was decided that the ballot ought not to" remain longer in the station houseSj and the application of Justice Gaynor was made as quickly as the papers could be drawn up. . lt was reported thal many of the ballot boxes in Brooklyn .were not properly sealed and that their covers were merely pasted down making it possible for any person to open the box and close it again without' detec tion. The law requires that the boxes be closed with wax. Among the allies aiding Hearst is William M. Ivins, the Republican can Jidate for mayor in Tuesday's clec ;ion. Mr. Ivins volunteered his services to Mr. Hearst and the offev was ac iepted. Another attorney acting for Eearst is Judge John F. Dillon, who ivas at one time Judge of the Supreme 3ourt of Iowa.

HIS EDITORIAL QUICKLY READY, New York Paper Tells Good Story on Southern Journalist. A certain editorial writer on the staff of a Southern newspaper was in clined to dilatoriness during certain periods of conviviality, and caused thereby much concern in the breast of the foreman of the composing room just prior to the moment when the fo/ms must go to press. But the writ er was a part owner of the paper and could not well be discharged, since he occupied the position of managing ed itor. Many times the editorials were late and the paper delayed in going to press, but the delinquent writer al ways made good after a fashion. Finally he hit upon a scheme when he was called upon at. the last, moment for "copy" that may, in all justice to expediency, be called the art of gen ius. The hour was very late and no lead ing editorial had gone to the compos ing room. In frantic haste the fore nan sent for the editorial writer, and )nly after half an hour was he located -in a near-by saloon and much the *rorse for his dalliance there. He ?rasped the intelligence that he had brgotten his leading column, and nade his way as fast as he could to ils office.
