Smith has for some time been advocating a re duction In cotton acreage. “Last year,*' he Said Wednesday morning to an Atlanta Journal report er, "I beggod and plead with tho farm ers of my section, and with every farmer I could find, to reduce his acre age. I heard of tho plan to raise* twelve million bale crop and ! fought it bitterly. Cut His Own Crop. "I went among my neighbors and insisted that they reduce their crop. I told them that o ten million halo crop of American cotton was all tho world needed. But I was not Incon sistent— I cut my own crop. I did not plant as much cotton as I had on pre vious years. I raised more grain than I had ever raLiod before. But tho big crop was raised, and now the South sees the folly of Its ways. “I sold some of my cotton early In the season, and I got good prices for it. Tho rest, and a largo proportion of what I raised, I aih holding. I am also assisting my neighbors to hold their own cotton, by lending them money. I am firmly of the opinion that the Southern farmers haYe at last realized that they must regulate the supply of cotton by the demand, and that they will in future hold the crop down to, what is needed. “At present 11,000,000 bales of American cotton is all that is needed. Wo are holding two million bales. I therefore believe that tho farmers of the South should raise only 10,000,000 this year, and that If they will hold the crop down to that figure, or low er, they will got 10 cents for their cotton. The Increase for the demand of American cotton Is about 300,000 bales a year. “But,*' he continued, “It is much better for the farmers to raise a nine million bale crop and make money on it than to raise a 12,000,000 bale crop and lose money. Tho formers of the South can get more for 10,000,000 bales of cotton than they can for 12,- 000,000, and if they don't hold the crop down to the demand, they are tho biggest set of dunces in the world."

HE HAS PRACTICALLY ADMIT TED IT IN ATLANTA. Chairman of the Railroad Commis sion Said He Would Be Heard From Later on This Point—Declares the Constitution Tried to Put Him in a Hole. Atlanta, Feb. 22.—Hon* J. Pope Brown, chairman of tho railroad com mission, almost admitted )n talking politics today that he expected to be in the race for governor. On that point he said he would be heard from later, but regarding his recent inter view in Savannah, into which he brought Commissioner O. B. Stevens as a prospective candidate for rail road commissioner, ho made the fol lowing rather warm statement: “I want to say this, that while In Savannah a newspaper reporter ask ed me the quesUon If I would ba re- It J waa an applicant for npolhi sioner, and I told him that I was not He also asked me who would be ap pointed In my place, and I stated to him that I did not know; that I was not In Governor Terrell’s confidence, but that I had heard It stated that Mr. O. B. Stevens would be appoint ed in my place. 'Now, when I made that statement I simply repeated what had been going the rounds of this state for eighteen months or two years, and what every man in the state who has ears to hear has hoard. Now tho Con stitution tries to make it appear that I originated the report. They know that was not truo. They also know that the report had been going the rounds, as I said, for many months, nt least. j! "The Constitution also knew that I Mr. Frank Analey, Jr., Married. \'! had no desire to bo commissioner of Mr. Frank J.
