There never has been better advice given to the cotton farmers in a few words, 'than are contained in the cap tion of a Constitution editorial, "Plant for Prosperity, not for a bumper crop.” The greatest danger that threatens the South today Is an over production of cotton the coming season. It Is idle to say that such a thing is not possible. With every planter In creasing his acreage. Increasing his fertilizer account, and working over time in his zealous des're to Increase his crop, the largest crop on record can be made, despite the ravages of boll weevils in the Southwest. There is no reason to believe that adverse weather conditions will again set In and demoralize all calculations as to the size of the crop. It would be very unusual if there should be a re petition of last season’s unpropitlous weather. Providence prevented a bum per crop for 1909, but there Is no guar antee that providence will step In again In 1910 and save the South from the results of the folly of over re duction. The bane of high prices Is that It provokes this very eagerness to pro duce in enormous quantities. Men are bRnded by temporary conditions, their eyes are obscured to the fact that these conditions are transient, that fifteen cent cotton Is entirely the out growth of an enormous falling off In anppRes, and that there can be as speedy a return to ten cent cotton as there was an’ unexpected jump to 15 cents. The wise planter Is undoubted ly the one who appreciates this and governs himself accordingly. The leaders of the farmer's organ izations are pleading with them to avail themselves of the opportunity now offered to maintain values on a high level by holding down production this year. THE SOUTH A GREAT HAY AND OATS COUNTRY. The other day the ’ Tlmes-Reco der printed some Interesting figures on the South as a corn producing section, facts that were well calculated to make us aU sit up and appreciate more than ever the wonderful possibilities of this section along the line of divers ified agriculture. But It is not alone in cotton and corn that the South Is making vast strides. In the production of hay and oats it likewise gives promise of sur passing other sections. In those two great staples its output is already en ormous and a tremendous factor In Us prosperity. Taking the five cotton tates of North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama and Mlsslsippt it Is found that In 1907 they had near ly 1,000,000 acres In oats, which pro duced over 1,250,000 tons, valued at over 812,600,000 (112,524,000). The average yield per acre in the five cotton states was 17.5 bushels, ns against 20.6 In the five grain states. The average farm value per acre In the cotton states was 1.63 tons, as against .85 In the grain states from which it would appear that oats is nearly 50 per cent, more profitable as a crop in the South than in the North. And on top of this comes In the after crop of hay, worth 812 per acre. While hay is not a grain. It Is so closely associated with It that it may properly bo used in these comparisons. The natural enemy of the cotton far mer Is grass, and ho has little natural inclination toward the hay crop. Nev ertheless, In 1907 the five cotton states had nearly 500,000 acres, which pro duced over 1,250,000 tons, valued at over 812,500,000 (812,624,000). The average yield per acre in the cotton states was 1.53 tons, os against 1.17 tons in the grain states. The av erage farm value per acre In the cot ton states was 825.85, against the 813.27 in the grain states, from which it would appear that hay as a crop Is worth nearly double In the South what it Is in the North. There Is an Important item-which has not been taken Into consideration in making the above comparisons, and that Is the relative value of farm lands, say 830 per acre In the South and 875 per acre in the North. When Interest on the Investment and taxes are considered the showing Is even greater In favor of the South as a grain-growing section and should con vince the farmers of the North that they can profitably cultivate In the South the crops they have been accus tomed to. It should also convince the farmers of the South that they need not be the slaves of cotton, but that they can profitably compete with other sections In the growing of grain.

The early stages of Catarrh are characterized by such symptoms tis a tight stuffy feeling In the head, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, with par tial deafness and often difficult breathing and chroniO hoarsoness. These are merely symptoms, and while sprays, Inhalations and other local treat ment may temporarily relieve them, Catarrh cannot be cured until the blood is purified of the exciting cause. 8.8.8. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all Impure catarrhal matter.

Mc Intosh of the Albany Herald for the upbuilding of Southwest Georgia will re-echo the sentiments of tho Augus- If this Is done, It the crop ta Chronicle which urges him to be- ls kept within reasonable bounds, prof- come a candidate for Congress, to suc- ftable prices are assured. If, as Is j cedd tbe late lamented Griggs, and In stated, cotton cannot be made these days, with supplies at the prices they have been bringing, at less than ten cent a pound, then It Is highly essen tial for tbe prosperity of the planters and of the South in general that pro duction be kept down sufficiently maintain the price at above 13 cents. Fifteen dollars a bale Is none too little profit for the planters, and with the situation clearly In their hands at this time there Is no reasan why the mark- et should not be kept at that level. It would certainly be folly to throw away the advantage now enjoyed ns a result of the small crop of 1910. WANTS A PARDON AFTER THREE ; „ MONTHS. An effort is already under way to secure a pardon for former cashier Orr, of the Exchange Bank of Macon. Orr was sentenced to seven years for embezzlement of the bank's funds. His friends point out that he has already served THREE MONTHS of the 'sen tence, leaving only six years and nine months, and they accordingly have petition In circulation begging that this be erased from tbe slate and the man be given his freedom. • The thought naturally suggests It self, If the bank embezzlers are to be pardoned after serving three months out of seven years sentence what Is the use of going to the expense of try ing them? Why not simply give them all carte blanche to embezzle all they want and thank them afterwards for their services as bank busters ‘ Isn’t It time In Georgia that as end was put to this sort of business? Look at the record of broken banks In this state in recent years, some of the most disgraceful having occurred la Macon and Waycross. Is it good policy to condone such effences, to practically encourage oth ers to speculate with bank funds, knowing If they lose them and are tried and convicted that after a few weeks imprisonment they can get par dons? If this method Is to prevail there will be no protection for depos itors in stats banks st all. slsts that If tbe Second District does Its full duty it will rally unanimously to the man whose whole life has been given to the redemption of its waste places, to the diversification *of Us agriculture, tbe development of Its industries, the promotion of the mate rial Interests of Its people generally. The Chronicle says: Our dispatches yesterday stated that Mrs. Griggs, widow of the late Con gressman James M. Griggs, had per sonally requested Hon. Henry H. Mc Intosh. editor of the Albany Herald, to stand for her late husband's unexpired term as representative of the Second district In Congress. We were Just about to make the same suggestion when this welcome news came to us. and we now most heartily endorse tbe request made up on Editor McIntosh by Mrs. Griggs. Not only as the warm personal friend and loynl political supporter of the lain Congressman Griggs, Is Mr. Mc Intosh his logical successor, but as one of the strongest men in the Sec ond district, a true and tried Demo crat and a man who has spent a life time in active, unrewarded work for bis district and state, Is he entitled to this honor. Nor are we led to say these things because Mr. McIntosh is a brother ed itor, but solely because, In our opin ion. he is, far and away the best man In tbe district for this responsible po sition—end we happen to know some thing about that particular district. Born and reared In the Second district —In Congressman Griggs’ home town, In fact—the editor of the Chronicle has ever cherished a warm personal Inter est In the affairs of that section. We know its people and we know Its In terests, and we but speak what every one else knows when we say that, no where in the entire district, can there be found a man who would represent intereete more faithfully and more successfully in Congress than would the Hon. Henry 51. McIntosh. If the people o fthe Second district do not make Mrs. Griggs’ suggestion practically unanimous, then we wil simply have to assume that personal ambitions are to be allowed to Inter fere with the district’s best interests. But, even so, we feel entirely confi dent that Henry M. McIntosh can win the race over any two or three men In the district, and we sincerely trust he will not hesitate to enter the race.
