“Come he*e!’ I sharply said,
And the baby cowered and wept;
“Come here!” I cooed, and he looked

And straight to my lap he crept.
The words may be mild and fair,
And the tones may pierce like a dart;
The words may be soft as A summer’s

And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by study and art;
But the tones leap forth from the inner
self
And reveal the state of the heart.

hence a revival of business is nc
ticeable and a better feeling among
the business men prevails. Truth
of the matter is, the .situation hat
never been such as to cause alarm,
but it has, and the merchants of
Carrollton feel the effects of the
erroneous reports circulated by
some sensationalist that more than
a hundred cases were reported in
the town, though there nas never

SELLING CROP
FOR THIS YEAR
Pike County Funneri Looking for Sure
l*rofl h <»n Cotton.
A number of farmers around Barnes
ville are s> Hing their cotton crop for,
this year in advance. The cotton is
sold for September and October deliv
ery. Several large farmers and country
merchants have sold lots ranging from
100 to 200 bales at prices from 11 cents
12'.j cents. In some cases the entire
crop is sold to the cotton buyer.
The, farmers argue that the staple can
be raised at a good profit, at this price
and that it is better judgment to sell it
at this price than to take chances of its
being higher or lower when the next
crop is gathered. The iartners of East
Pike are very much encouraged at the
outlook for the year and it a good crop
year is experienced the people will be in
better shape than they have been for
some time. They prefer this year to
make their money on the actual staple,
rather than deal any in the futures.
A large acreage of cotton will be plant
ed, but a good crop of other products
will be put in also. They have come to
realize that the farmer must raise his
own supplies to make muon money.
GRIFFIN’S
COTTON RECEIPTS
ARE EIGHT HUNDRED BALES
BEHIND.
Recent Flnctuatlon. Have Kept Beck
Receipts, Bat We Will Scarcely
Catch Ip.
it begins to look finally as if
Griffin’s cotton receipts, coming
through the warehouses, will full
several hundred bales behind last
season. The receipts tbe past two
or three weeks have fallen off great
ly, but this may be accounted for as
much by the fluctuations in prices
as by the actual lack of cotton in
the country, there still being an ap
preotable number of bales on the
farms in this community. The
number of bales received tor the
week ending Thursday night, Feb
18ih, was 35, against 150 for the
corresponding week last year, wi'h
499 bales stock against 800 at this
time lai t year The total receipts j
were 14,161 bales as compared to i
14 989 hales at this time last year.
The Opinion of a Cotton Bear.
The bears declare tha - - a terrille
smash is coming to the bulls in the
cotton market. This is tne view ;
taken by Theodore H Price in bis
recent circular. His contention is
that the crop is much larger than
it is generally supposed to be, and
that it is a mistake to think eve--y
bale not in excess of 9,750.000 wdl
be consumed irrespective of price.
Be has the facts back of him when
he critic zes the government’s cro j
estimates, which for six years have
averaged about 850,000 bales under
the reel crop. He states the reason
for the under estimate this year is
that the crop was three weeks late ;
but favorable conditions have en- i
abled planters to make up for lost i
time, and that receipts are ahead of
last year. He has mads inquiry in j
what are known as uncounted
towns, and from answers received !
has estimated the stock on hand as j
greater than lust year by 11.4 per j
cent. He assumes that there will >
be as much cotton in sight after
January 1 this year as there was
left the same date last year, and
figures as follows:
In sight January 1, ’O4 6 827,000
In sight after January 1,’03 3,991,000
10,818,000
To this he adds 10 per cent,
or to increase of stock in
uncounted towns 399 000
I
’’
Making a total of 11,217,000
Mr. Price sets no value on the
assertion that tha high prices cur
rent this year have induced rapid
marketing beyond precedent He
finds that in the past the slowest
marketing has been do ie in the
year-* of highest prices. He thinks
that all the tacts of c itton statisti
cal history indicate a crop larger
than last year’s.
Ne ither does Mr. Price find that
the prices of cotton indicate that
consumerswill be able to take every I
bale not in excess of 9,750,000 irre
spective of the price. He says that
the advance in the price of cotton
has restricted trade 46 per cent. He
believes That not even the small
crop could ba carried through at
prices of February 1.
