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

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.

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

that the .South m once more bring
made the “goat" to enable Europe
to pay its obligations to the United
States and “that individuals of Eu

The South has been told that, in
order to retain its cotton producing
monopoly, r must produce cheap
cotton. Of what value, may we ask,
is a monopoly if it doesn’t return a
profit to itj owners?
What chance has the people of the
South to enjoy even the comforts
of life if the government sits pas
sively by when the low prices
threaten them with financial ruin,
contenting itself with the state
ment that the law of supply and de
mand governs prices, while it apparent
ly goes out. of jt way . to assist the
Wall Street gamblers to depress the
price below the cost of production
when the self-same law of supply
and demand threatens to give the
producer of cotton a decent j*eturn
