The Fort Worth Record says very truly that "the farmer makes a mis take when lie thinks he can regulate the price of cotton regardless of pro Iuction. That is the mistake Mr. gordan's campaign for fifteen-cent cotton has been based on. and it is going to hurt the south incalculably if the farmers do not sharply curtail their acreage under that of 1904." In a recent statement Mr. R. D. Hudson, Secretary of the Texas Di vision of the Southern Cotton asso ciation, explains that the states west of the Mississippi river were not or-' ganized, and consequently were not in sympathy with Mr. Jordan's procla mation for'fifteen-cent cotton. These states threw their cotton on the mar ket without regard to what effect such action on their part would have on the price of the staple. They play ed right into the hands of the bears and the price went down naturally and inevitably. There must be agree ment among the cotton growers all over the south if the men who make the cotton intend to control the price at which it shall be marketed. The; ifailure of the Western growers to co operate with the growers in the other cotton states has enabled, in the lan gnage of Mr. Hudson. "the bears to carry on their devilish work each day and week since the New Orleans con ,rention. It is reported now that the Texas planters will plant this year for a crop of 4,000.000 bales in that state alone. The price of the staple next fall and winter will depend upon the acreage in the other cotton producing states. Every bale grown in excess of the world's demands will lessen the value of every other bale that may be produced this year. The only safety of the cotton planters is in cutting dbwn the acreage this year. If t.hey~ want to raise cotton for fun, instead of for profit, let them go ahead and *plant all the land they can cultivate. If they want to raise cotton for the? money there is in it, let them reduce the acreage by at least 30 per cent. News and Courier. * The News and Courier is preaching mighty good and sound doctrine in the above comments. So sound and so *good that it should be told until it reaches the ear of every cotton plant-, er in the south. "'Every bale in excess of the world's demands will lessen the value of every other bale that may be produced this *year.'' Every sensible farmer real izes the truth of this statement. Organization is a good thing but if the crop is larger than the world 's de mands then the value of the staple will be decreased, because the world *will know that the crop is in excess of the demand and organization cannot prevent it. *"The only safety of the cotton planters is in cutting down the acre age this year.'' And we might add in increasing the acreage of corni and* potatoes and such things as are need ed for consumption on the farm. Besides that the farmer of this section of the cotton belt especially who undertakes to grow cotton with -which .to buy .the supplies needed on the farm which can be grown on the 'farm will lose money it matters very: little 'what the price of cotton is. On 'the other hand the farmer who raises. his own supplies on the farm will make some money farming even if cotton is selling at six . and seven cents. This is what we have preached for many years and the more it is preached the more strongly are we convinced of the souuidness of the doe trine. And now they say the jug traffic is~ growing. The daily average of liquor shipments into Spartanburg two weeks ago was estimated at seventy five gallons. Now it is put between eighty and ninety gallons daily. This will easily raise the amount of cash paid out for liquor to $125,000 an nually.-Spartanburg Herald. That is a better thing for the whis key dealers than the dispensary for certainly the dispensary scarcely sold that much liquor in Spartanburg. It is hardly probable that the Southern will put another passenger train each way between Columbia and Greenville as suggested in the Co lumbia correspontdence otf the News and Courier so as to give a morning train from Greenville to Columbia and an afternoon train from Columbia to Greenville. If the present midday - trins, however, were changed so that the train from Greenville would leave Greenville about 7 o 'clock and return to Gireenville leaving Columbia about 5 o'clock iII the aftermoon it would be a great improvemient. Newberrv should be represeliedl at the confer enee in Coliumibia if the other towns aloin the line are to be represented. Such a change as we suggest would be better than the present arrangement so far as we are concerned because it would not only give us an oppor tunity to go towards Greenville or Columbia and return the same day directions an opportunity to come to Newberrv and do their trading and re turn the same day. On account of the present schedules people form Old Town and Chappells and all above go to Greenwood instead of com ing to Newberry.
