THE COTTdlf QUEBTIOK.
/Vt the meeting of the Cotton
Growers Association, held at
Asheville, on the 7th iust., the
/CUll was sent out to the farmers
in the dottott belt to hold their eot
,ton for a minimum price of eleven
cents at their home markets.
?7*hta figure is based on middling
Uplands.
In the action of the committor
in recommending this price, we
?ail ?ee nothing to condemu.
It seems to us that With the very
patent assurance of a small crop,
^eleven cent minimum is low
teflougii. It is certain that there
jffill have to be sold a large
yolurae of cotton under that
price, as a great number of farm
ers owe debts which they arc in
honor and by contract, compell
ed to pay out of the first cotton
picked} ginned and baled.
Squally true Is it that these
farmers are in pressing need of
provisions, clothing aud other
^things. This being the ease, we
??nnot possibly expect that price
fjt elevfctl cents hefore Octooer
15th, at least, unless the bulls
get the upper hand of the bears
iu the speculative market, and
Jforce prices up abno r m a 1 1 y.
?This, as we all remember, was
$oao when Sully forced the price
?o seventeen cents. It is hardly
probable however, that we will
pver another. Sully, so the
ttbove may go for what it, is
worth
<5The strangest tiling to us in the
.present cotton situation U the
iact?that wlitle the Govern inent
refkorts of the condition of the
.Crop showed a falling off of near
ly three points over the month
previous, and that the New York
and Liverpool markets have
ruled fairly steady since, the
Jopal markets broke from thirty
to forty points the next, day af
ter the publication of the govern
ment report aud have stayed
^jroke.
We questioned one of oui
buyers on the subject, and he in
formed us that it was expected
<tho Government report would
.show a OH or 00 average instead
of the 751 reported. This expla
nation was honestly given, but !
it proved clearly to us, til the
light of subsequent develop
jnents, that the firms our buyers
represent aro In a Class of their
own, and do not depend upou
New York and Laverj>ool mar
kets 4-o make their prices.
In other words, it would seem
?hat thero is a syndicate of buy
ers who pay no attention to the
ruling prices oil the great ex
changes, but are powerful enough
to make their own, especially at
JLhis season of the year.
Mpoed the day when we will
either have no cotton exchanges,
and rto secret combinations of
^capitalists, or fair play in both.
THE PKACK MAKKK
'flic above caption gives the
}atost title of "the world's first
citizen," bestowed upon him by
some of his fawning admirers.
This, Of coiirso in honor of bin
great victory in hoo dooing the
Japanese envoys into agreeing
to, what all tho world thinks, a
disgraceful peace. Tho title
ftowovor, seems to have been
somewhat prematurely bestowed
if we can roly upon press reports
fbat come to us from the land of
?he Mikado.
Peacp reigned at Portsmouth,
N. 11., upon the siguing of the
UuQsevolt treaty, but the Japa
nose ptople it appears, couldn't
poe it that way, and by way of ex
their disapproval l)ay?
I begun to burn Christian churches
ami- Mission houses, a%d to stone
Americans, and J Japanese? also
whom they have flp idea had a
baud iiiy the treaty 'business, as
Well as ou general principles of
disapproval. Tokyo, the capi
tal Of Japan has beeiT declared
Under martial law, aud general j
disorder reigus.
; The intent of the disaffected
populace is to force the Etttperor
to repudiate the Jreaty, and to
continue the war to its then in
evitable ctfticl union. That con
clusion would mead the utter de
feat of Russia ou land as well
> as on sea. We dou't know but
; that woUld.be ttie proper thing
> to do. It wouldn't take long, as
tliey have good fighting weather
out there, and. Lane v itch, even
wilh his big army, Would not be
a mouth-full to the pugnacious
Jups. 'i*liat army destroyed, or
captured, Russia would find it
impossible to gather another*
and the Japs could then - de
mand peace on their own terms*
without the intervention of
Presidont Roosevelt, or rttly
other person or persous. Was
the situatiou reversed, Czar
Nicholas would not hesitate for
a moment to repudiate the treaty,
and for the restoration and pres
ervation of j>eac? within Ills
own dominions, we cannot see
that the Mikudo of Japan would
l>e guilty of a serious breach of
bad faith in repudiating the
Portsmouth * treaty. The Japa
nese. Emperor's family is a
pretty large one* but as a man's
tirst duty is to look after the in
terests of his family, we would
say to the Mikado, repudiate
that treaty, and the opinion of
the world, go bang.
i?OULTItV.
What kind or breed of poultry
do yoil keep, dunghills, cross
bred*, thoroughbreds, or just
plain chickens, a bleed of your
own?
If you have nothing' but duug
liills, you are standing strictly
in your ot? n light. The breed
ing of this class of fowls for
pleasure, is a rank failure, for
there is no pleasure in looking
at a variegated lot of scrubs.
As a profit winner, the dung
hill is no good. This has been
proved so often that the remark
is hardly necessary. Kill out
the dunghill. *
Do you raise cross-breds? If
so, you are nearer the light.
But what cross have you? Did
you select the best specimens of
your home Hock, and then cross
for eggs, or for meat, using the
selected pen entirely for breed
ers?
Did yoti purchase a few eggs
of some good breed, and then
turn the chictcens raised from
them loose among your whole
Hock of scrubs? If so, you are
still in the shadow, for like peo
ple, low company will cause the
better to deteriorate.
Have you a pood strain of
thoroughbreds? If so, are they
of the proper breed? In other
words, are they of the breed
that thrives on your place. All
thoroughbreds are good, but
some varieties do bettor in some
localities than others.
If you have a breed of your
own, selections from scrub stock
that does fairly well, common
flense will tell you that the time
and care spent in making this
breed is almost utterly Wasted,
when by expeuding very little
money, you cotild now have 011
your yard a flock that would be
a pleasure to the eye, as well as
a source of greater profit.
We havo had a number of peo
ple to denounce thoroughbred
poultry. Said they had tried
them, and they wouldn't do,
Tile trouble with these people is,
that they either secured inferior
parent stock, with weak consti
tutions, or they did not give
them the proper attention. A
iuan will take all kinds of care
af a flue cMt, Calf, or pig. Why
not a flock of fine poultry, the
greatest money-makers of them
all. Arch.

A corn year in Missouri means
much to tlife world. This is a
coru year. Editor Painter, of
Carroltdn, relates an incident of
the yield, showing the size of
the ear in his county. An eu
terprisiug farmer, wishing to
utilizo every foot of available
space, planted corn on the road
bed of an abandonod switch,
which lay parallel to the main
tracks.
A few nights ago a high wind
blew dowu one of the stalks
across the main track. The fur
sighted engineer of the through
train approaching discovered
what he thought was. a huire
boulder in the way, and hailed
the train at a distanco of several
huudred yards. The obstacle
proved to be an ear of corn,
which according to Mr. Painter,
required twenty men to remove
it.
Ker*liaw County Medical As
Moclatiou.
The meeting of the Kershaw
County Medical Association ou
Sept. 12th, 1905, proved to be
a very interesting one. The
President read a paper on mat
ters of interest and importance
to the association. It is to he
regretted that every member was
not there to hear it. The paper
was referred to a committee to
bo acted on and reported at the
next regular meetiug In Cctobor.
We were pleased to have with us
Dr. E. R. Zemp, of Knoxville,
Tenn., who was unanimously
elected an honorary member of
the association. The paper read
by the Essayist for this meeting
was Traumatic Tetanus, which
proved to be a very valuable
paper on account of its report
of two cases of Tetanus which
developed symptoms^ out of the
ordinary type. After the read
ing of the paper it was discu ssed
by the association.
There were sevoral matters of
importance attended to by the
association which was referred
to committees and will be report
ed at the next meeting. This
together with other features will
make the next meeting a very
interesting one. All members
are roquested to be present.
