We arc truly a< 1 to note the edict of tin- authorities of the several colleges of this state which abolishes foot hall. The time given hy the students of the several colleges to the playing of match games of foot hall and base hall during the session could he more profitably spent in study and recitations for which purpose every student enters college. The college gymnasium furnishes all the exercise necessary for the. development of the physical man and the promotion of health and strength to the student.

Poultry raising has become one of the largest and most paying enterprises in the I'nited States. The ' statistics of the liureau of Agricul- j tnrc show that more money is re- I alized each year from the sale of | . I -\ 11 eggs and poultry than from the sale wide <?f the entire cotton crop, and yet Vf 1,1 1 ' J dispi the supply short of the demand. J?e|>r Mr. S. M.

In our editorial entitled "Live and Let Live" which appeared in Tin. Ti.mi> November '24, we endeavored to sound a note of warning to the members of the Southern Cotton Association along the line then being urged by President Harvey Jordan to place the price of cotton at 1~> cents after having put the maximum price at 11 cents at the Ashcville meeting. We felt somewhat alarmed at the actions of the association leaders in that they might after having the farmers thoroughly organized go to the extreme which would unquestionably Ik1, dangerous to the life of the association and detrimental to interest of the cotton growers. Sometimes the most level headed business man in the midst of his ambi tion and enthusiasm loses his reckoning and makes a wreck of his enterprise, there is always danger in overdoing anything. We perhaps did not express ourselves as clearly as we might have done, as we felt we were treading upon dangerous ground in offering advice which was contrary in a incisure to that given by the officers of the association and the general sentiment of the members. We now feel very much relieved after reading what Mr. John M. Parker, of New Orleans, said in his address of welcome to the cotton association at New Orleans on January 11, since he expressed the same ideas we had advanced in the editorial we refer to above. Mr. Parker is perhaps the most extensive cotton planter'in the State of Louisiana, having planted 7,000 acres in 100a. Mr. Parker said in part: "The speculator is the greatest enemy the farmer has. Keep away from him. Don't got mixed up with him. Don't kill the golden goose by putting up prices so high that we will soon have active competition from other countries. l'emember, we hope to farm a few years more and to have our hoys farmers after us. l-.i?..Lmvrasn tation than a very short crop and nme prices. Get fanners to advocate and practice rotation of rops to preserve our lands. Show in: nun men and spinners we are j heir friends and don't want ex- ' I renics. i Think well licfore we adopt a V xed policy and by our earnest nest, r termination and unity show the j orld the Southern Cotton Associa- o jn is a power for good.'' This is ' i*|Uestionahly good advice and ai uiing from a prominent member d mover of the Southern Cotton w sociation should have great weight 'K controlling and shaping the fu- )n e actions of the association. We on satisfied that the earnest and iservativo spirit which prevailed t the convention of the Southern ml a ' ton Association will redown to to j future good of our entire people. ^ BROWNING'S BILL TO ABOLISH THE DISPENSARY. 81-11 esentdtivo From Union County Will tail Present a Measure on the JJ.J?
