not to he used for speculative pur¬
poses or to lie concentrated at any
one point, until at such times iu
it can he sold nr.d shipped direct
to tho spinners. Tho executive

b st to tako charge ot whatever
surplus wo make, and not permit
it to pass into the hands of ot h el
people, especially when tho prie.
offered is below the cost of pro-
dnetion. It is confidently b. .
Ii, veil that ibe cotton company

secure possession of the eutin
surplus and that it will also r •

Mrs Susie Ashly died at her
home iii Dooly county, Feb—
She leaves a husband, five chil¬
dren, five brothers and one sister
with a great many more relatives
to mourn her loss. But we have
ine good consolation, we know
that she lias gone to heaven. Nlio
was a good, Christian woman,
member of the Methodist, church.
She had one of tho brightest at d
sweetest, faces of any one, Ev¬
ery body that knew her loved her,
she had a smile for every one.
Her husband and brothers did
all they eoulu to comfort her
with the help of a physician, bill
the good Lord knew best and
plucked lbe sweet llower from
their home. La u t Christinas was
a year ago she w as up to see ns,
but we will never again see her
on earth, we can only hope to
meet her m a better world.
May tho Lord bless tho hus¬
band and children and help them
in their sorrows.

The voiie we loved is still,

In the first place, the landlord
under the existing system is not

the numbers of dollars lie gets
from the cotton depends upon
the price; Supposing lie receives
