Wo therefore announce with pleasure that practical steps are being taken by the Southern Railway and , others to co-operate with officials of the United States agricultural department and the state commission- | ers of agriculture In advising those farmers living within the territory j that may eventually be reached by j the boll weevil as to the best ineth oda of growing cotton in spite of the presence of this pest. These railroad companies are acting with the view of adopting the most improved methods in advance of the appearance of the weevil, which will have the efTect, it Is believed, of maintaining the normal production of cotton, and the farm- j ers of this and other sections that i will soon be invaded by the boll 1 weevil, should make use of the lib- , eral ofTer of'the Southern and other railroads to help them fight the cotton's worst enemy. Practical farmers, who have had experience In dealing with the weevil, will devote their entire time to visiting any farmers along the lines af these railroads In localities which iiav eventually be reached by the iveevtl and giving them practical advice as how best to grow cotton un- i ier boll weevil conditions. 'Planters and othnrn in i~ I alitles who are desirous of availing hemselves of the practical advice md assistance of these men employed by the railroads are invited to , correspond with T. O.

To familiarize the farmers with he work that la being carried on. the 'allrouds have appealed to the hanks jf the south in assisting them to itstrlbute their pamphlets The fol- | owing letter has been sent to the | bankers in this and other States that have not yet been invaded by the ooll weevil: Gentlemen:?I enclose a copy of a circular letter addressed "to the farmers of the south" announcing ' .he organization of the cotton culure department of the Southern itailway, the Alabama Great South>rn Railroad and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, and Incorporating the adrice of Dr. S.

They are, therefore, methods 1 vhicb I believe may advantageously o adopted by cotton growers hrouvhout the south.

And the future looked blooming and gay. And with woman's deTotlon she laid tier fond hoart At the shrine of idolatrous love. And sho anchored her hopes to thla perishing earth By the chain which her tenderness iwove. But I law when those heartstrings were bleeding and torn. And the chain had been severed In two; Sac had changed heT white robes for the sables of grief. And her blooui for the paleness of woe. But the Healer was there, pouring balm on her heart. And wiping the tears from her eyes: He strengthened the chain He had broken in twain And fastened it firm to the skies. There whispered a voice?'twas the voice of her Cod? "I lovo thee, I love thee!

At id the fast-coming evening of life promised fair. And Its pathway grew smooth to their feet; And the starlight of love glimmered bright at the end. And the whispers of fancy were sweet. Then I saw them a?ain bending low . o'er the grave Where their hearts' dearest hope had been laid; And the star had gone down in tho darkness of night. And the joy from their bosoms had fled. tut the Healer was there, and llis arms were at-utind. And He led them with tendereat rare, And showed them a star in the bright upper worl 1 ?

TIm Hoathrrn Mills Had Hotter Wake Up to a KcalUatioa of the True i Hituatloa. There Is no doubt but that the cotton crop of the present year is . niton one. r,veu snorter man wn ( thought a few wi^Kb ago. In a let- ; ter to the Augusta Chronicle Mr. T. . E. Massengale, of Norwood. Ga., giro* I pood reasons to bear out the above' statement. Here Is whit he eayn:j] 'Convince a man against hi3 will. < He la of the same opinion still." |i Some time back 1 wrote an article < for your paper on the cotton crop, < 3iatlng that the spinnable crop, or < fiop from first ginning would net be I over the amount stated above. And < i.ow even with linters and city crop ! it will not reach more than 11,000 - i '.00 bales. City crop should nevr 1 be counted. Neither should linters ? 'i ho city crop is nothing but samples ' having been pulled from bales al- i 1 ?eady weighed and which are sold ! and In warehouses?in transit or in 1 the hands of spinners. And the 1 weights of these bales will show in I the average weight of bales by Mr. i' Hester. And to count them again in 1 which they again appear Is a prop- 1 ositlon that seems fishy. Linters aie ' fit for nothing that cotton is or can he used for. and should not be N counted. Hut the bears are hard to con- ' vince. They had set their hearts and 1 hands on robbing the Southern 1 planter by announcing a bumper ' crop from the opening of the sea- 1 son. And there has not been a ' nay since September 1st, that wouid * have warranted a large yield. The r bears, however. are beginning to ' come down from 13 1-2 millions to * 12 1-2 and 11 1-2 million?-quite a n fall. I The last census bureau report ' s?hows hales cotton ginned 8.764,153. H Now last year the same date cotton p pinned 8.112.199. or 80 per cent or 0 the crop that year, which waa 10.- n 072.73 1 bales. If the same ratio ^ appertains again this season, of 80 c r er cent ginned, we have a crop of ' .0.517,063 bales. first ginning of n rotten, and I can nee no reason why ! hese figures should not prevail an ' every sensible person knows that a * tnors propitious fall for gathering r vrai never known, and the sinning ' facilities never better, and the price al tractive. Hut suppose we go back to the ginning of 1908. When 9.595,80'J c wan ginned, leaving 27 per cent to b? ginned (and this wan a bad fall v lor gathering.) The crop that year 0 was 13.088.005. So If we take this ear's ginning for this crop yet to ^ be ginned at 27 per cent we only 0 gel a crop of 11.100,000 bales of a t.olton .but I say that is preposter- (j ?us. So I still insist that I am etui- t| ucntly correct, not only my premises, but in niy conclusions If I ha 1 ^ one million dollars today 1 would ,t invest In spot cotton so quick. ' " 'twould make your head swim." n lowest estimate of .the Angus- f> t i cotton exchange this season was a 10,650,000, identical with my flg ties.

General Frederick D. Grant, commander of the Department of the Bast is the latest advocate of compulsory military service in the United States, but the idea is not and never will be a welcome one in this couutry, where the volunteer plan has served well enough. Moreover, there has been a larte increase of our standing army, the number of regularly enlisted soldiers having tlPAn tnrmante/l or AA A ..nuivu wu iivjin iK.UDU, SOI1'? fifteen years ago to about 7 8,000 at present.
