We aie in position, wo think, to prove to the satisfaction of most any reasona ble intelligent farmer that Sooth Caro lina cotton farmers this year have lost enough money ia ammonia ted fertili sera to build at least one good ware Jboase in each cotton county of the State: Perhaps ninety per cent of those that use ammoniated fertilisers put this ammonia ted fertilisers in the ground before tbs . seed is planted. And ?et. we are told by the chemist that the most valuable constituents in these ammonlated fertilizers are solu ble in water, and it they are not solu ble ia water that they are no good. Afler the ten days of heavy rains we badin June there ia cot enough of this ammonia left in tho soil to make cotton enough for a monkey jacket. We want a new cultivator with a fertHSaer distributor to put out these very sciuble fertilisers along on the ground ahead Cf the cultivator , and stir thu nitrate of soda and other am . caonist?u goodB- in the soil after the roots are there to feed upon this vola-, tilo food before it is leached ont or evaporated. We muss make at least two applications of these fertilisers after the roots ot the crops are there to feed upon this quick acting fertiliser. Ufge Crops Cause Disaster? In India, China and other countries the people starve because Cf tbeir f ail ure to make good crops! In our cotton growing States we bava panics and starvation when we make our largest orena of cotton-onr great steple crop. 0o you know of any other agricul tural country on earth that starve od account of its abundant harvest? Do ?oil know vf any of onr manufacturing iduatnesjof g&?that starve out on aoconn| ?f ever-proaaet?onf No! They know snore , about their busmess than to al low their ancoasefnl; production to be the means of their downfall ! Why can't cotton farmers manage their affaira like tho ^manufacturers do theirs? B?iMoss tho farmer na? " rs ?oaea to organise and take their own buaineas under their own control i That in ailthero is of this affair I m What is tho remedy for disastrous over-production?

But cotton far mers have been doing that kind of foolish business for forty years. When our production threatens di Gan ter to manufacturers they simply call a meeting through their organization? of their particular interest, take an inventory ot all their surplua producta on hand and reduce their production pro rata among themselves until the demand catches up with thoir surplus stock and output. lt the manufacturer has too much cf bis working capital locked up in surplus products in well insured ware* houses he can pot up bis surplus pro ducts? s collateral for money to carry on bis business with instead of dump ing hit products upon the market at minons prices in order to repeat the suicida! performance again in produc ing more surplus, the weight of which is acre to emoh the life out of bio busi ness. .That cuicldal process is the very essence of tho cause of the disastroua results of an over-production of our reat money crop, cotton, in the outbt For tho Jack of a systematic business organization like the Far mers Union to control the production and the marketing of onr cotton, we have heretofore undertook to protect our interest singlehanded against a well organized body of businessmen. Every cotton producer bes been fight ing bia own interest by trying to take care of himself and let the devil catch the hindmost man, and the re sult baa been that the devil usually gets the whole crowd of foolish, unor ganized cotton growers. No 'r-.-olecf lon for the Unorganized Cotton 'Planter. When the huntsman's bounds strike the trail of game, the 'possum bas bis hollow log for bis protection, foxes have their boles ssa the raccoon has his den, but when cotton bears strike oat on the trail of the unorganized cottons grower, thia unworthy son of the South hath not where to lay his head. . When well organizad, the farming interests of onr cotton belt wc o ld be the greatest money power on the con tinent; oar cotton interest properly organized would be the biggest giant 'among-ol! our fliaota of tradesmen.

Tao lotter is dated Stockholm, Juno 18, and is aa follows: "I have been watching political de velopmenta and noted wita gratifica tion the vindication of Democratic principles. 1 shall do nothing to se cure another nomination and do not want it unless conditions seem to de mand it. I may add I enjoy the free dom of privato life and feel I can do some good without holding any office. There are, however, certain reforma which I wonld like very much to see accomplished, and to assist in the ac complishment of these reforma I am willing to become the party'o candi date again, ii when the time foi the nomination arriv?e the advocates of reform are in control of the party and I think my candidacy will give tho beat assurance of victory, if some one else seems more available, I will be even better pleased. I need not as sure yon I am more interested in aeeing onr principlea triomphant than in the personal of the ticket. The country needs to have Jeffersonian Democracy applied to every department of the government. State ana nation and I in tend to help make this application. .'Yours truly, .?W. J. Bryan.? Marriages.
