The cotton boll weevil la steadily
marching In this direction, and in
a few yoara at beat the peat w . begin
to invade our cotton fields The
experience of tli? farmers !a Texas
where the weevil has been for tome
years, demonstrates the fact that by
the adoption of proper methods prac
tically aa lar?e yields of cotton can
be obtained as before the appei ance
of the weevil.
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. Plunkett, Ken- |
jral aKent of the cotton culture do- .
lartment. Southern Railway. Chattalooga,
Tenn. There Is no cost whatjver
connected with this.
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. A. Knapp of the United
5tates agricultural department as to
he best methods of growing cotton. , J
While the advice is intended pri- |
narlly for growing cotton under boll i
veevil conditlona, the methods of soil
reparation and cultivation are those 1
hat are recommended by Dr. Knapp
or Increasing the yield of cotton per
icre, whether the weevil is present or
lot. They are, therefore, methods 1
vhicb I believe may advantageously
o adopted by cotton growers
hrouvhout the south.
I have had a large supply of these
Ircular letters printed for distrlbu- 1
ion to farmers along our lines. I
hall be glad to have your co-operaion
in this distribution, and if you
vould like to have a supply of the !
irculnrs to hand out to farmers who j
nay visit your bank or with whom '
'ou may otherwise be in touch. I i
ihall lie glad to have as many copies 1
is you may desire sent to you. 1

I law a young bride in her beauty
and pride.
Bedecked In her snowy array;
And the bright flush of Joy mantled
high on her cheek.
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! Pass under
the rod."
I saw a young mother in tenderness
bend
O'er the couch of her dear slumbering
boy;
And she kissed the soft lips as they
murmured her name.
AVhilo the dreamer law smiling
with joy.
O, sweet as the rosebud encircled
with dew.
When Its fragrance Is flung on the
air.
So fresh and so bright to that mother '
he seemed
As ho lay in his innocence there. '
But 1 saw, when she gazed on that
same lovely form.
Pale as marble and silent and col 1,
But paler and colder her beautiful
boy.
And the tale of her sorrow was
told.
But the Healer was there who had
stricken her heart.
And taken her treasure away;
To allure her to heaven he had
p'aced it on hi?h.
And the mourner will sweetly
obey.
There had whispered a voice?'twas i
the voice of God?
'I love thee. I love thee! Pass under
the rod!"
I law a fond father and mother who
leaned
On the arm of a dear gifted son.
And the star of the future grew
bright to their gaze
As they saw the proud place he
had won.
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 ?
'Twaa their star shining brilliantly
there.

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.
Two sliort crops coming on
the heelo "f the other means 20 j.
cents cotton by March 1st, and that
?\ i 11 bo cheap. The total consumpI
on of all kinds cotton during the (|
12 months ending August 31st was ;i
17.030.511 hales, ov/-r 11.200,000 '
hales of American was spun, and as
that spun in 1909 over 12.000,000 ,
or American. Where will the cotton ^
come from to supply the demand? j)(
As there are 135.000,000 spindles
row humming sweet music to ears tl
of tho world, where, oh! where. Is
>he cotton coming from to keep the {j
music going?
Tho Southern mills had better '

"jot there i? no more cotton In the

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

fifteen years ago to about 7 8,000 at
present. The Secretary of the Treasury,
In hia annual report. Bhows thaJ '
during: the fiscal year ending June
3ft. 191ft. the disbursements for the i
War Department amounted to <
00ft, 000. ,
This enormona num. however, i
would look like a hunch of small i
pocket change compared to what the i
cost would bo If every able-bodie 1 j |
p\an in this country should be re- h
lulled to get "the necessary military ; (
training bv three years of service in !
the army." "Just how much," says ]
the Houston Post, "measured in ]
terms of money, the drain upon tlie
productive resources of the country i
n order to support fi stupendous a j
aiilitarv system would be, would re- <
juire some expert figurine to ascer- i
ain with exactness but the volume
wou'd be something enormous." i
There is no doubt about it and 1
he cost of maintaining our present <
standing army is about as great a 1
jurden as the taxpayers care to bear. <
Phis army is quite large enough to (
neet the needs of the country in I
ime of peace, and in war it would t
lave a reserve force in the State \
National Guard. The policy of uni- *
rersnl military service which has <
teen adopted by some of the great It
European powers will never com- t
nand the favor of the American pontic,
for the reason that it clash?s t
inrshly with our democratic ideals. 1
The German peasant may be willing I
o carry a soldier on bis back, but i
he American farmer will never ae- t
ept such a burden and to discuss ?
he Idea Is a mere waste of time and a

The New New Orleans States,
roni which paper we take the above, t
ays it heartily Agrees with the view r
ixpreHsed by the Post that what this t
ountry needs to make It invulner,hle
is not universal military Hervice v
uit the organization of more boys' I
orn clubs. That Is true, as true can
ip. but at the same time this talk
tuiut universal military service on

could have pushed Spartanburg
ounty for second place. Even an it

Add the 15,000 people she lost
