We are pleased to see that Mr. Lewis Parker is going into t)'.:e cotton : anufacturing business again. It must i~ean that Jiis- health has been restored. I.~e is too good a man and 'too good a jsiness man long to remain out of the active field. We are pleased to i;3e that Mr. Parker is able to get back i jto the active business of cotton mani facturing. A press dispatch states that tine city : uthorities of Waco, Texas, have ; iopted cotton suits for the police uni*;>rms. They are cool and will look i :ce and help to consume some of the! < otton, and if adopted by all of the i "ties would help very much to con *V. ? r>vr\r-i Wh V - UiXit?

At it is, the newsaper comment is very sparse?in fact, :: has not been noticeable at all. The l icts in this case serve to show-, ironger than any argument could, tfte extreme unfairness exhibited towards e administration of Governor Blease in all this "law and order" talk. The final decision of the governor of Jc-nnsylvania is expected shortly.

Warehouse Legislation. Senator McLaurin, State warehouse ' -mmissioner, addressed the joint agcultural committees of the Georgia 1 gislature the past week, by special; ni7P<?t nn warehouse legislation I -nding before the Georgia legislature.' ? has consented to return to Atlanta *rter to address the general assembly, 'd also to go to Alabama to address ' e legislature of that State. An Asso-j ' 'ated Press dispatch from Washingn shows the importance of the exIng State warehouse systems and - c action being taken by Georgia and * labama. Officials in Washington," it < lys, "who do not wisti to see condins this year such as confronted cot+ n producers last year, pxp anxiously t. atciing for warehouse legislation in1 4 - j IV 'r' " / * Georgia and Alabama. It was pointed ; out tonight, that Texas, Louisiana and South Carolina had laws which make i warehouse receipts paramount liens against cotton on whicfc loans are made, and that bankers do not fear to I lend money on the security of such ; receints in thosp States. Georgia and j Alabama so far have not enacted such ! laws." i Mr. W. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve board, who has characterized South Carolina's warehouse system as , being "far in advance of anything at-; tempted by any other Southern State, and a model system," is in close couch with the situation. rThere is a constantly increasing de- ; mand for relief from the action of England tying up cotton exports. The South faces a serious situation tM? fall, and it is vitally important ith*t preparation be made to meet the1 emergency. ?.uuuu, THE SEWS OF PROSPERITY. | Thos. E.
