The cotton growers of the South should stand firm for good prices, un? moved by the bear tactics of the spec? ulators. The world can take every bale of their cotton, even if prices of the staple WeYe higlu-r than at pres? ent. Th English papers are full of the tremendous boom in Britain's coal trade, many of the larger producers having sold their entire expected out? put of 1908. Miners' wages are at the aximum and the operators are strug? gling to find more men. England's ron and steel trade is in the same ndition, with steel rails selling at more than $3 a ton above the price hich our steel makers are getting. On the continent somewhat similar oonditions prevail, and in Asia there widespread awakening, with reports advancing prices of building ma? terials and of labor. The splendid prices which the grain growers of the West and the cattle raisers of the country are getting assure their ability be better consumers than ever be? fore. Under such conditions the South should receive the very highest prices for its cotton. It holds a world monopoly, and it would be false to its own prosperity, to its best educational development, to the bet? terment of all its people, if It did not nitedly struggle to secure the highest possible price for its cotton . If the people of this section would see It blossom as a rose, if they would see every farm house Improved and made more atractlve, if they would see tens of thousands of new dwellings n the farms and in the cities with every modern convenience for lessen? ing the labor of the housekeepers, if they would see schools and churches everywhere, then let them realize that good prices, high prices as compared with the ten years of starvation prices ending in 1902, would mean all these things, and that properly handled the South has this situation absolutely within its own control. Ten years ago the cotton crop, seed included, averaged about $350,000.000 a year. Last year It was worth $800,000,000, and th's year It should command 900,000,000. Consider for a moment what this vast difference of $500,000, 000 or more a year means. It is a mighty fertilising power which will enrich the soil of Southern business life and bring forth a harvest of abounding prosperity. ? Manufac? turers' Record. Bob Burib tie on the Saloon. "Tour town Is under no obligation to any saloon. All ' that it is In re? spectability and permanent prosperity It has grown to be without the assist? ance of the liquor traffic. "If the saloon men Insist on quot? ing me on this topic, let them com? mit this to memory, that they may repeat It as they'used it: I do not know one good thing about a saloon. It Is an evil thing that has not one redeeming feature in its history to commend It to good men. It breaks the laws of God and man. It dese? crates the Sabbath; It lefiles public order; it tramples under foot the ten derest feelings of humanity; it Is a moral pestilence that blights the very atmosphere of a town and country; It is a stain upon honesty; a bur up? on purity; a clog upon progress; a check upon nobled Impulses; It Is an Incentive to falsehood, deceit and crime. "Search through the history of this hateful thing and read one page over which some mother can bow her grateful head and thank God for all the saloon did for her boy. There is no such record. All its history is written In tears and blood, with smears of shame and stains of crime, the dark blots of disgrace."
