We fully indorse the many nice I things that our friend Barnett has to say about our old editor, Mr. Banks and our new editor, Mr. Smoak. We are sure that they are both splendid men and that big hearts> beat within their breast, that they have the best in terest of the country'at heart and if possible that they would make all of our. people happy and pros perous. Some very strong edi torials have and still appear in the columns of The Intelligencer and while we do not agree with all that is said we give those who are re sponsible for them the credit of being honest and if ?hey are wrong we are sure it is of the head and not of the heart. In that there are things being talked and done in this country i that is not for th? best interest ol our people, all we ask is space in The Intelligencer in which to ex press ourselves and we are sure that the new editor will not re fuse us this right, In the present cisis, we can not best feel that iv. is strange, wonderful strange, that the old cotton farmer, in the spring of the year can so easily get help with which to make a crop and then in the fall when-it is made and when every human vulture is on his old carcass in an effort to get thc product of his honest toil at and below cost that the same old farmer can not get a red copper cent -with which to help get a fair and legitimate profit out of his labor that he is justly entitled to. Everybody is ready to feed a, few "lasses" to the bees when they are about to starve but when the gum is full of honey and rob bing time comes, nobody knows them. Yes Mr. Editor, there's some thing wrong, radically wrong when we are reliably informed that there's more money in oui banks at present than's been for years, yet we are told by them that they are not making any nea loans. It seems to be a case of having us by the throat with nc let up as long as there's breath in our financial body. Ont- thin? sure, the pendulum can only swing so far in one direction and . when it swings back the other way there's something going to ? happen, for this is one time that' our farmers are not going to soon forget the deal that is being given, them. We do not believe there's ii mnn in our section of the rm in - try but what wants to meet ever* obligation that he has made, but] he does not believe it is right foi! him to sell his cotton at a price' that he had nothing to do with the making, when that price' will not only fail to pay what he o wei but will have absolutely nothing left for his poor ?wife and children who have helped to make it and to be frank with you, Mr. Editor, some of them are not going to do iii We are being advised by some, that if we can do no better to sel! our cotton at what ever we cari girt for it and straighten up with the banker and merchant. They seem to think that it makes no difference what snaps Ulis would leave the farmer and his far in just so the banker and men -t is cared for.. When the dry goods trade be- j wm cs dull, is the merchant ever advised to sell His goods at and below cost in order to get rid of 1 themi ?*-?. And again when money is easy and not much being borrowed and v?u ev?r see the fellow with herve enough to advise the bank-' ( er to lend his money at and be low what it has cost him ? ' And once again, when the mule market is dull did yt.u ever hear of the mule dealer bein? advised to sell his-mules at and b?knr cost rather than keep them ? Oh!; no. the cid fool cotton farmer is the only fellow that is advised as what to do with his goods and if advice was money the old fellow wouK be a multimillionaire with in the next forty eight hours. Ves, you say that some farmers claim that their cotton;don't cost them over 6 or ? cents per pound, but put in your pipe and smoke it^that when a. farmer says that he can raise cotton at tess than a cost of toe per pound that he isl in a "skin garrw" to the tune of li feeding his "nhrgers" on sorry j \ rations and giving, them, just I enough cheap clothes to hide their nakedness, and then in the fall he swallows the brute hair, hide, hoofs and horns. Now just a word to that bunch in Colum bia. We would like to ask them if they can make a law that will force thc farmer to reduce his cot ton acreage, then when the world needed it could they not also make a law by which they could make thc old sinner increase his cot ton acreage? Poor rule that won't work both ways. w. L. a .JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO o o o STARR o o o o o o o o o.o oooooooooo STARR, Oct. 20.-Rev. J. L.

JjjijjpS Best wishes to the new Editor and everybody connected with Repaper, Wrl-rfc MAKRETREPORT New Orleans Cotton NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.- | The downward movement in the price of cotton continued today, bids for January being reduced to] 1.10, while spot cotton was of ficially quoted at 6 5-8 for mid-1 diing, a loss of one-eighin from] yesterday's prices. Thc refusal of insurance com panies to take war risks on ship ments of cotton to many neutral ports was given as one of the rea sons for the decline. The Iss of a sixteenth in qutationes at Dallas early in the day helped to winken local spots while the large receipts at Memphis and Houston, the movement to both points being larger than for the correspond ing day both last year and the year before, caused much uncer tainty and fear of increased offer ings.

New York Cotton NEVtf YORK, Oct. 20.-The amendments to the by-laws of the cotton exchange were adopted by ah almost unanimous vote of the nv.mters here today. A report from the clearing house commit tee was submitted to the board of managers, but action on this mat ter is not considered necessary to ? reopening cf the market, and the trade now Is chiefly interested in Hie progress or the plan for tak ing over old contracts by a co Dpera,tiotn and. svQdj?atfc ftfW able weather conditions were re ported generally in the South and Weslirn belts. Spot markets were said to be a shade easier. Local spot deal ers, however, claim that 'armers show little willingness to consid er prices under the six-cent level and some of the Eastern belt mar kets were steadier. Domestic mills arc buying some cotton from day to day, but are still reported to be.operating only for immediate requirements. Complaints of country damaged cotton are be ginning to reach the trade and it is said that much cotton is being held by farmers without adequate protection from the weather. Financial NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Inter est in financial affairs today cen tered chiefly around the confer ences being held in Washington between representatives of the British finance minister and treas ury officials. The outcome of these meetings is expected to have a very direct 'rearing, not only up on existing foreign exchange con ditions, but also upon the broad question of thc reopening of the London and New York stock ex change. Washington also was the seat of continued negotiations relative to the organization of the propos ed cotton pool in which a hitch was reported. The chief obstacle in the way of this plan is said to be the disinclination of the Fed eral Reserve Board to assume full responsibility for the project on the ground that other and nrore pressing duties are now before it for consideration. There was another abrupt break in exchange on London, cables being quoted at 4.96 1-2 and (*e j mand bills at 4.96. Busines.? very i active. The decline generally was associated with the recent heavy foreign demand for American commodities. Depression in steel and copper :ontinued with lower prices. Time money was easier in some in stances, but actually unchanged. Local banks are holding them selves in readiness for prospective renewals, some of these contracts representing 90 day leans made shortly before the stock exchange :losed.
