About how many acres of cotto

Do you know who it is that go(

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

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<

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.

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.

Short Mourning.
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. My poov wife
-s p$r ying.' . ~* ~ , . -
"'Why, look here,' eaid I, 'etily last
week I gave you somie money to bury
your wife, and now you tell mue that
she is starving. How can thast be?'
"'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.
Bhe turned her little head aside,
Disgusted with the taste, and died.
More Than Likely.
RomanticelHe (with his arm around
her' waist)-AIl this seems so familiar
to me, darling-the quiet night, the
whispered word, the tendeCr look.I
wonder If It is a memory of sonmc pre
V'ious existence? Practical she-No,
William; it Is nIire likely a memory ol'
some pre'Cviouis sweet heart.-Rleferee.

Dock Wi'1 Be Concirmned.
Port:imut'h, . ., Nov. 28.
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.
Four Men Burned to Death.
St. Louis, Nov. 28.-Four men
were burned to death and probably
35 were injured in a fire early on
Wednesday that practically destroyed
the Lighth'onse hotel, conducted by
the Salvation Army, at the north
west corner of Ninth and 'Market
streets. lore than 200 men were
asleep in the building when the fire
was discovered, the grealer number
being on the second and third f oors.
All became pani'-stricken and before
the firmnca arrivC and coli stretch
nets, many had junped from the up
per Windows and .wvie picked up
crushed and imconscious oil the -treet
pavement below. 'The four dead have
not been identilied as their bodies
were burned to a crisp.
One Fireman Killed.
New York, Nov. 28.-A fireman
was killed and five other men were
more or less injured in a mutiny
aboard the Mallory line steamer San
Jacinto, which arrived here Wednes
day. 'T'he trouble occurred on- Mon
day. The dead fireman was named
Pistro Noisoera and death*was caus
ed by a blow on the head. On ar
rival of the .lacinto at her dock here,

Iistorle Old New York.
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. Barrow
street was origInally named Rleason
street in comllment to the gr'eat in
fidel's best known book, "Age of Rea
son,."
