or letl Weeks raises the question
whether the southern farthers
have been sincere in maintaining
that it costs seven cents per pound
to produce it? It invites another
question. Are the farmers ingenuous
when they ask the sympathy
and assistance of their fellow
countrymen of the South?
Do they really wish that cooperation
of interests which will advance
the price of cotton to nine
or ten cents per pound and maintain
it about that level?
These arc pertinent questions,
because the course of the farmcis
during the last ninety days has
a / !?? !*? ** ? - * rr>

farmers were in better condition
January I of this year to make a
stand than they have ever been.
Thousands declared themselves
ready to make a stand; thousands
declared there was only starvation
ahead with seven cent cotton.
The bankers, the manufacturers,
the merchants and the press were
asked into consultation. All interests
unanimously agreed to
stand by the farmer, to give him
moral and financial support. A
course was mapped ,out. It was
determined, or rather it seemed
to be determined, that as much
of the cotton as was on hand
should be held for an adYancc in
prices and that there should be a
reduction in acreage. Public 1
sentiment backed the farmers; in
fact everybody appears to have
backed the farmers except the J
farmers.
Day after day, week after
week, cotton has been streaming (
to market. It has gone to the
buyers by the twenty and the
thirty thousand bales a day, only
the existence of the association
has prevented the bottom dropping
out of the market. But the
farmers seem to be satisfied with
7 1-2 cent cotton. Instead of a
reduction of 25 per cent in acreage
we hope for but fifteen;

irritated or congested state of
the brain, which will soon developc
into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore exhausted
vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and removes
the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens every
nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
"During the past winter I had two
attacks of DnGrippe which left mo
very weak, and in bad condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife, after trying different remedies,
went for a doctor. The doctor wns
out. and a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles" Nervine, and she brought home
a bottle. I had not slept for some time,
and had terrible pains in my head.
After taking a few doses of Nervine
the pain was not so severe, and I
slept. I am now taking the second
bottle, nnd am very much Improved."
