THURSDAY, APRIL 26TH, 1923. The Government and Cotton. In spite of the fact that there is a “ natural - "* corner" in the cotton market, aue to the fact that he sup ply does not seem to be equal to the demand, the price of the fleecy staple declined about five cents a pound from the hitch level of March 14th. Various “reasons" have been jriven for this drastic price reces sion, but J. S. Wannamaker, presi dent of the American Cottoh As sociation seems to have hit the nail squarely on the head when he places the blame upon the recent report of the Department of Commerce. It seems that making public a government forecast of a cotton crop at this time is unprecedented in the past fifty years the first regular forecast not bring due until July “Last year," Mr. Wanna- maker asserts, “the Department of Agriculture officials refused the re- ouests of cotton interests that the in acreage be ited early ia the year, whereas this year, when there to the paaai- ttlny of a cooLrary effect ef a per s forecast at this tuue laet year have indicated a small Hi the Department f a gaad thing to put a town thorn art a'fcMdrm ready to toko the credit, but when soaaothing falls flat you cant find anyone who la ready to take the blame. A friend remarked the other day that many a large man physically is. so small mentally that he could rent the rest of his skull for a ball room. . \ Not all the* skunks are the iour- footed, evil smelling kind. There are some who charge customers profits on the government war tax. A certain young lady recently of fered the following prayer: “Dear Lord, I ask nothing for mys»lf. Only give mother a son-in-law.” - One trouble with sleeping late on Sundays is that you have h hard time getting hungry again for that excellent dinner. A certain friend says a man never realizes how many things he disap proves of until his daughter reaches the age of 16. Civilization seems to have passed successfully through the crisis of short skirts and bobbed hair. f ive 1 member of Uto state togtolatum. Cufhuun spent his early years in Uto ftolds and woods on his fathers farm. The time for thd study of books did not come to him until he was nine teen years old. He then studied Latin for the first time. He was very intelligent and within two years he was prepared to enter an ad vanced class in Yale College, Con necticut, Two yedirs there proved long enough to finish' - the whole course of study. After- having finished his educa tion Calhoun became a lawyer .in -1807. The planters of Abbeville District came in large numbers and put their law cases in his hands. Calhoun was always honest and full of kindness and sympathy and was therefore successful. He was great ly opposed to the ill treatment by the English on the high seas, of our men. His indignation blazed out against England in a speech which he made on the street at Abbeville. His fellow-citizens were so much pleased with the speech that they sent Calhoun to congress to speak for them against their foe. He be came at once a leader of the war party. Calhoun helped the United States in many v ays. , He was one of the ablest of Southern leaders. He favored tft* war of 1R12. He gave Lots of men who claim to have I much of his attention as a law mak- come from fine families appear to be a long way from home.
