SOME PL\1N FACTS.
Why Cotton fchould bs Held for
Higher Pricos.
An Olllcial Ad(1r< ?n to ttio Farmorn
From I'roHlrlont 10. I>. Smith--Utillty
Will Bring buecetiB.
The Southern Cotton association Is
an organization of, by and ft r the
people. It Is not for the few hut for
the many, uot for the farmer alone
hut for the merchant, professional
man, mechanic and laborer, for every
one who makes a living where cotton
grows.
The objects nought are manifold
and far reaching; among them Is the
establishment of system bcth in pro
duotion and marketing, thereby oreat
ing a condition conducive of fair and
remunerative pries. To promote
manufacturing where cottou grows,
to the extent of our own peoplo sell
ing the tinlshed product instead of
sending two-thirds of our raw material
out of the country. Hut the irnediate
anxiety of the S C. A. is that
cottou this year should bri g toe far
11 o^Uis pur pound, the price set by
ine association.
That the farmers are not getting
this price is uo proof that the asso
elation and other organizations made
a mistake In estimating the value of
cotton, but It does prove that the association
is timely arid the work 1b
was created to do is au imperative
necessity.
Its weakness is apparent rather
tiian real; its success under the circumstances
is phenomenal. Without
its powerful iLllueuce cotton to-day
would be selling at as low a price as
at any time last year. Never iu the
history of cotton hasten per cent surplus
bleuded with a succeeding crop
without the price running low till the
farmer had sold out. We are weak in
proportion as business men and farmers
are unenllsted In our common
cause, and we will grow in strength
in proportion as the people in cotton
growing communities unite with us in
defense of our own rights and interests.
We have allowed conditions to obtain
that rohben 812 cotton counties
annually of $200,000,000 that rightly
belonged to t.hem, and the loss of two
cents a pound this year means $100,
000,000 goue forever, leaving empty
store buildings and paralyzed business
to that extent.
There are reasons why the farmers
aie not getting 11 cents.
The farmers always distinctly remember
the experiences of the yeai
before.
Now two years the farmer sold on a
raising market and after each saio he
rcgrotieu uiat> M8 cuci not. imio lii<> cot
ton a lfttle longer, and r?-aoiveu i.uc. to
be caught that way ^aia. So last
year to profit by his late experience,
he was disposed to get his cotton gin
ned and then not be in a hurry to sell.
Then when the statiscical condition
showed an immense surplus he was
caught in the awful avalauche of fall
ing prices; and he don't yet realiz.that
last year prices were good for so
long a time, simply because ho was a
conseryat.ve Instead of a precipitate
seller. Remembering the good prices
during the early weeks last year and
the trap that crippled him, hiS resolves
to be the early bird, with tho result
that at this year a greater per
cent, of the crop is already inarketod
thau i 1 any season of the past, and
this blended with the shrunken skeleton
of la-it year's surplus, In so short
a lime forms a combination that
would break down any market, wnat
ever the concomitant conditions
might be.
Helping this condition the merchant
needs his money and the farmer
wants t.o pay as soon as possible
and while ( ur bankers are willing to
extend good papers and to grant further
accommodations, yet merchant
and farmer alike have had so many
btitir lessons that they hesitate to
drop a moderate certainty for a promising
uncertainty.
As things have always been, this
position of merchant and farmer Is
not unreasonable.
Heretofore no concerted effort has
obtained to make the owners ?a party
to tne trade when our farm products
are to be priced.
Heretofore no thoroughly organized
work has been done to get the iStatistlcal
situation for the farmer's use In
time to benefit the farming community.
Heretofore no interested organiza i
t.ion has been strong enough to iniluence
market conditions to favor the
farmers in time to benetit him.
Heretofore all has been uncertain
gu< ss work, but this year the statistical
situation is well in hand.
When the first bale this season looked
back over the past year, it saw
ii.ni i'j Ann nnn i*-~ 1 <-? * -1
limn i .),vmu,uuu U1 1 US urULWCTN natl
been laid upon the shelf by the fatal
hand of cousumpUon, it looked to the
future and saw the dlease spreading
in new and wider fields, through
Japan, China, Russia and the world,
Including the survivors fewer than
11,000,000 would be thrown out to
fall before the dread destroyer who is
eager and anxious to consume 2,000,000
more.
Farmer, Is not $10 a bale worth
looking after?
Merchant, is not 50 per cent increase
of business worth looking after?
Are you not willing to help carry the
financial burdens of an organization
that has done so much for you and
your own people? Are you not willing
to help us carry on a greater work
of usefulness in the futuie?
To all our people let us say we are
seriously in earnest; are sure of our
promises, and confidently urge all to
stand firm for 11 cent cotton.
Merchant and ban*or stand by the
fa;mer: Farmer, refuse to take less
. *
thsn?ll cents; when you unite to
show the world you are In earnest,
that you understand the situation,
the market will quickly resp >ncl to
your demand, for the spinners and
speculators know the situation, and
they know >. u could get 12 cents If
yo" were ur H why arouse to demand it.
Oh! Fartnt 1'^, Merchants, Hankers,

now a band of brothers and
we can win this light; to loose out
means humiliation, and "defeat" will

HEALTH RESORT FALLACIES.
It is no infrequent thing says a
writer in Journal of Outdoor Life,
of Suronuc Luke, N. Y., for physicians
at health resorts to got /letters with
passages in the in such as this: "The
man has no money but is strong and
fully able to work. Ho would like to
get some light work out-of-doors and
would even be willing to work for a
time for his board." It is astonishing
to see how sick a man can be and yet
consider himself and be considered by
others as "fully able to work." in
soino instances In* has high lover and
should be at rest in bed; but he and
his friends think he could drive an
express or delivery wagon or do some
other "light" work. In most instances
such light work is all that is necessary
to insure for him long months (if
convalescence from a few weeks or
even days of over-exertion.
There is no question but that every
patient is better off, no matter bow
slightly his lung may be affected, if ho
can by any means whatsoever avoid
working for the lirst two or throe
months spent at a health resort. It
is a curious thing, but when a patient
does this, in the majority oi cases
sonic avenue seems to op n by whicn
he can obtain sulllolont means to enab'e
hi in to remain idle a sullictent
length of time to insure a restoration
to a certain amount of lit alth. The
darkest time is usually just before
dawn and this seems to ho true of the
ob: curity which overhangs many invalids.
Another point which many seem to
forget is the fact that, easy positions
in all health resorts are quickly illled
by those who are on the ground. It
is no exaggeration to say that in the
average health resort there are ten
applicants for every position. A new
coiner thinks, of course, he has little
or no trouble, lie readily Imagines
that all people in health resorts aro ill
and much worse than himself and that
lie alone is able to work. He little
realizes that there are many already
at. the health resort who have been
there years and have boen trying to
get n good, suitable position, and huvo
been unable to do so.
Where Titles Cause Trouble.
Some dollars and much gratitude
will be the portion of that writer who
produces a standard brochure on how
to properly address exalted persons
lrom foreign lands as well as native
olheials and dignitaries. Even men
supposed to be well-informed frequently
are embarrassed because they do
not know the correct procedure.
In Washington there are half a doaen
different rules covering this matter,
and much confusion. Present
usage makes it correct to address the
Chief executive as "Mr. President."
All the Cabinet oflieers are called "Mr.
Secretary," "Mr. Attorney General,"
or "Mr. Postmaster General," and the
same holds true In regard to the Justices
of the Supreme Court and the
heads of the two legislative bodies.
Ofllciully, the Ambassadors and Ministers
are dubbed plain "Mr. Ambassador,"
or "Mr. Minister," though a
few indivduals who like high-sounding
appellations insist that "Your Excellency"
is a more elegant and polite
method of addressing the venerable
members of the corps.
When foreign princes visit this land
of freedom the State Department mail
is swarmed with, cries for help from
Governors, Mayors of cities, and oven
Irom private individuals who would
like to extend hospitalities. But th
most amusing appeal came to the Secretary
of State when the Archbi hop
of Canterbury and Mrs. Thomas Davidson
were visiting this country. It
emanated from a worn 11 of Boston,
who represented a powerful church
association which wanted to honor the
helpmate of the prelate. Siie asked
spectllcally how she should word her
invitation and just what women would
say ou being presented.
"Some of our ladies maintain," went
on the letter, "thai it would be correct
to say 'Your Grace,' since she si arcs
all her husband's honors Others assert
that it should be Mrs. A1 cuius...-o.
while a number agree with me. ihn;
it will cover the entire premises *
say 'I am honored to meet you, Madam
Canterbury.' ".
Negroes Using Cocaine.
The police of Jackson attribute the
recent outbreak of crime in that city
and vicinity to tho Increased use of
cocaine by negroes. Until a year ago
the drug was unknown among them
Its consumption has now reached dangerous
proportions and its users have
become idlers. They are indifferent
to punishment.
The authorities are discussing a
crusade against the salo of the drug,
and it is probable that some drastic
measures may be put in force to prevent
its use among the negroes. The
crusade will probably be run In connection
with the war of vagrants now
being waged by the Police Department.?Npw

' MODERN 11 FOR GOLD

Drawn on the Spot,
j Thr ylt.'ld froru the gold mines has
increased .00 per cent iu Uw>s than a
decade. In seeking the reasons for
f this truly demarkablu development
r one is especially prominent?the groat
* advance which kur> been made in the
* methods followed by the modern gold
' seeker. The prospectors, says the Scientific
American, have taken advan*
tage of progress in geology, chemistry
and other .sciences and have provided
themselves with mechanical aids
which are far superior to the crude
implements employed by the metal
hunters of the past.
In the examination of rock for metal
) bearing ore, the sinistra of the Mexi
leans and Spaniards lias been used
extensively, especially in California j
ami Oregon. This contrivance consists
ol a vertical shaft or axis, which
' supports several wooden bars fastened
at right angles to it. To the ends of
the bars are attached heavy Hat
stones, which, by the movement of the
axis, revolve in a circular pit, a stream
' of water is turned upon them and the
i arrastra placed in motion by animal
i or water power. The ore is resolved
into a slimy sediment by being ground
i in the water and passes off through
the sluiceway, which is provided with
* rillles for catching the gold.
The modern methods for searching
' for desposits of precious metal are so
> radically different from those described
that it may be said a revolution
has taken place in prospecting in the
United Slates. In the ltocky .Mountain
region the formation has been pierced
as far as 2,000 feet in the effort to ascertain
the existence of a vein. I
Among the mechanical appliances
which have been of great assistance
to the modern prospector is the drill,
i With it he can make borings in a
week where, if a shaft were sunk, a
i year would be needed, if the forma- <
tion is to be examined by a shaft, I
however, the cost of sinking it is reduced
to a minimum by means of ex- ?
plosive cartridges, which are now I
manufactured especially for such ser- 1
vice.
Few expo lit ions of any size are sent
out without an experienced geologist,
who is usually provided with maps
and other data giving the best infor- ,
mation available regarding the region
to bo explored.
Besides the geologist, the services
of an expert chemist are also of great
importance and a laboratory in miniature
is contained in the packs carried
by the animals. So complete is
this portion of the equipment that a
fairly correct (leld analysis can be
made of the specimens secured by the
use of the drill or by the other prospecting
tools. If the outcropping of
a nnnrtz vnin is: t\ Is^dvocurl r>nrmirh
lb broken off to allow its character
to be studied both from a geological
and a chemical standpoint.
After examining it in connection
with the formation in the vicinity, the
geologist is often able to indicate
where the surface can be bored with 1
the possibility of reaching the ore
bearing stratum at once.
The value of the ore from the out- t
cropping and that from the interior
can be approximately determined by
the chemist. To crush the ore is a
slight undertaking, and with the lead *
which he has brought along the material
can be readily fused in a portable
furnace. In fact, lie has the es1
sentinls for making a "dry assay" on
(
a limited scale, for cupels are now
made of such light weight that they
can readily be carried on mulcback.
In the outfit, of the modern prospector
quicksilver lias become practically
indlBpenslble. Its affinity for
gold makes it a most valuable agent.
Where the existence of placer gold
is imagined, the introduction of mercury
into the test washer soon solvo3
the problem and avoids the use of riffles
and other crude appliances which
were formerly dependent upon almost
entirely. After crushing the specimens
of test ore, the quicksilver can
also ho used to ascertain the quantity
of free gold among the particles. As
the mercury can be eliminated by
heating the composition to a sufficiently
high temperature, it is now utilized
in large quantities by the modern
prospector,
i Taking the ingot of load and of precious
metal ho can easily oxidize tho
lead by placing it in his cupel and
heating the latter to the required temperature
In an oven constructed of material
which ho can obtain in tho vicinity.
With his nitric acid he separates
tho silver which may remain,,
leaving tho gold only to he tested for
its value. Tho proportion of tho gold I
to n given quantity of oro can be do- I
termined by his scales, but by using
ms roucnsione or black basalt he ran , i
dot ret the quality of the Rold by the '
color which this substance makes i
when drawn over the surface of the
metal.
