I IS Of all the Novelty E of Drab, Dark Forest, Gra COTTON CONDmON DECLINES. iterate Is 7L1, Against 78.1 Last Maatband 66.5 Last Tear. New York, September 30:?The Journal of Commerce will to-morrow ( publish its monthly report on the oondition of cotton on the average < date of September 24, as determined ; by 1,575 special reports from corres- ] >pondents. It will give the condition J 71.1, against 78.1 a month ago, a "deterioration of 7 points. This com- j pares with 66.5 last year, 71.9 in t 7 00A and A9 4. in 1005. The de *cline is not an unusual one for Sep- s tember, the year 1907 showing a \Arop of 7.4 points, 1906 a drop of s 5. 7 points and 1904 a drop of 7.5, a 1903 a drop of 11.8 and 1902 a drop g of 6.3 points. c Since the commencement of these t reports in the year 1901 condition I &as only once exceeded the present v figure, namely, in 1906, when it was 71.9. The general expectations of a f large crop, however, must be con- d sidered modified, unless exceptionally g favorable weathei should prevail for o: the remaiuder of the season. Drought c< and high temperatures have been c< the general causes of deterioration, f< added to ivhich boll weevils and boll wetms have been active in Texas, b . Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississ- n ippi. Te^as has been more fortunate than other Spates, the loss for the swouth showing only 3.0 points. Georgia declines 4.6, so that the two ^ largest producing States suffered the tj least. Excessive falling off occurred h in the following States: E .North Carolina 12.6 points, Miss- P issippi 10.3 points, Louisiana 13 11 points, Arkansas 13.6 points, Ten1 nessee 15.5 points and Missouri 17.2 r . points. In South Carolina the de- f{ cline was 7.2, Florida 0.8, Alabama '..7.5 and in Oklahoma 5 points. mm T ~ - R flnr Mniin: "Don't Let !, Ms Alone!": 1 That National Prosperity Association wants everybody to quit "agitating." j Its motto is "Let Us Alone." Well, that may be all right for the immense ? -eemmerclal concerns of the country? ] tfbe manufacturers, etc.?but it is all ! wrrong for the ordinary business house. I You don't want people to let you alone. You want them to come around and buy goods, don't you? But they will let you alone unless you "agitate." And the way to agitate is to ADVER- j TISE.

When the editor of a newspaper gets really sick on his job he does not fail to express himself in unequivocal terms, as the following announcement which recently appeared in the Henderson "Gold Leaf" goes to show: "We offer this paper, outfit and ?ood will?everything and appurenances there to belongiug?for sale.
