•
To the Editor of The Tribune:—l am
glad our South Carolina cousins are wak
ing up to the necessity of some specific
action on the pai t of our cotton growers.
Three years ago when we organized the
movement for cotton reduction and in
creased food supplies those of the Carox
linas did not then respond, but the move*
ment went on and we met in New
Orleans and entered into a solemn com
pact to reduce the cotton acreage and in-
C'ease the grain acreage which was faith
fully carried out with the result of raising
the price of cotton from 5 cents in Jan
mryto over 8 cents in the following
October, as all remember.
This can be done again with like bene*
ficial result, or even more so, for as you
suggested a few days ago, it is not too
late to sow wheat yet. We will not have
any very cold weath r this moon and
wheat sown now will grow off and get a
good start before January.
The movement was not startid before
until February, tio late to sow wheat.
Bo this time we have that advantage. I
would suggest that we have a meeting of
planters at the courthouse at 11 o’clock
on Saturday, December lltb totakesome
action in the matter and if seemed neces
sary, send delegates to the inter-state
convention to be hill in Atlanta Decem
ber the 14th. I will meet as many as
. may think the matter of sufficient imp'nt
ance.
I will say this much to the "otton
planters of this section, remember
this is your affair and if you haven’t
attended to it no one else will. I
would suggest that it is not enough
to make np your mind to plant less
cotton next year on your individual
lands.
’ It is also necessary that you let it
* be publicly Known and by youraction
in meeting seek the co-operation of
all others tn the cotton growing states
in a like determination.
No sham or pretense will answer.
The movement mnst be general, must
be real to accomplish the desired
result.
Whether a large or small acreage is
planted to cotton next year is known
absolutely all over the world within
ten days after the planting season is
over. So no one will be deceived and
no amount of talk will accomplish
anything unless backed up by posi
tive action.
A word of warning. In conversation
with a merchant a few days ago, one
who also owns several farms, and per
haps makes more profit off the sup
plies he sells to bis tenants than from
the rent of his farms. In this con
versation he discouraged the sowing
of wheat and the reduction of the cot
crop etc. Now you know the rest of
the story and where be thinks his in
terest lie.
I only give you this idea to show
that while most merchants will en
courage you in the movement under
discussion there are a few who only
care fortheir own interest and who
will discourage you all they can
You will however, recall the fable of
the wolf and the lamb. The Hon. W.
A. Broughton of Madison, Ga., is your
state president and will, I’ve no doubt
aid you all he can.

Maine's First Thanksgiving.
The first Thanksgiving day in Amer
ica was appointed not by the pilgrims,
as many persons mistakenly believe, but
by members of the church of England.
It was celebrated at Monhegan, off the
Maine coast, near the mouth of the
Kennebec river, as far back as 1607—13
years prior to the arrival of the May
flower in Plymouth harbor—and Chap
lain Seymour preached a sermon “gyv
ing God thanks for our happy metynge
and saffe aryvail into the country.”—

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Narrow Escape From Two Bicycles and
a Hint to the City Council.
Editor of Tribune:—l have read of
thrilling adventures and narrow escapes
and 1 would like space in your paper to
relate one of the latter from my own
experience, as it may be the means of
causing others to avoid what might
prove a dire calamity, as well as a warn
ing to be always on the lookout for the
dangers which daily stare us in the
face on the streets of Rome.
While crossing Broad street on last
Saturday night en route for home and
when near the middle of the street, I
discovered a couple of bicyclists bearing
down upon me at the rate of about
twelve miles per hour. They were with
in only a few feet of me when I saw
them and to advance or retreat I might
be maimed for life or perhaps death.
After thus taking in the situation, of
course I stopped immediately. They
dashed by me, one just in front, the
other jnst in rear of me, and they did
not seem to be more than two or three
feet apart, and while I cannot say that
it was intentional on their part, their
object seemed to be to see how near
they could run to me without hitting
me. They gave me no warning what
ever of their approach; my escape was
miraculous, due solely, as I believe,
to a kind and over-ruling Providence.
This reminds me that only a few days
since, I heard a gentleman say that if
he was in reach of a pistol and was
not so disabled that he could not use
it, be would do so then and there. •
Now, Mr. Editor, the only object I

have io relating this incident is, to call
attention to the fact that there is not a
more dangerous vehicle in the city of
Rome to pedestrians than the bicycle;—
dangerous because of its noiselessness
and probably more dangerous still be
cause’of its swiftness. Gentlemen of the
City Council of Rome, shall we ourselves,
our wives and children still be at the
mercy of these silent steeds, without
compelling them to carry something to
warn us of their coming? Other cities
have an ordinance of this kind, why n t
Rome? It mav prevent their being a
patient in one of our homes or at the
Emergency hospital, suffering from a
broken limb; or near death’s door from
internal injuries, or a funeral, or all of
these combined. A word to the wise is
sufficient. Foster Harper,

Ike McArver Spends the Night on a Flat
Boat in the Middle of Coosa River.
Coosa, Ga., Nov. 26. —lke McArver
bad a little river experience last night.
He was over the river bunting and
called on a young lady on the return
trip. About 10 o’clock at night he
undertook to ferry himself across the
river. It was pitch dark, but the ferry
boat is rigged np with pulleys so that
it will run itself across when you turn
the pilot wheel so as to give the boat
the proper angle. Ikq drove into the
boat and started across but soon found
he was drifting down the river instead
of across and going towards Gadsden
instead of Coosa.
The wire cable had pulled loose
from the windlass on the south bank.
fie saw at a glance in the dark that
the situation was precarious, so he
hauled in the trolly rope and ut*
dertook to pull the boat hand over
band by the wire cable to the other
bank, but the cable bad drifted under
a log and be soon got to where he
could not move the machine forward
He then raised an Indian war whoop
and fired all the shells he bad but
failed to attract attention.
He quietly made him down a bed of
the “buggy things,” had his dog to
lie across his feet and dwelt with
Morpheus the balance of the night.
Next morning an old man came down
to the lauding, and seeing Ike in mid
river, said:
“Hallow, what you doin’?"
Ike said: “Only getting up. ”
