Churchwell & Co Starke Corner, Thomasvilie, Georgia. Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 20.—A general meeting of the hard yarn spmners of the South has been called, to be held in lotte. on Jan. 5. when matters of vital interest to the trade will be considered. A circular letter is being mailed to all the spinners interested to-day, mg their attendance. This course was decided upon at meeting of the advisory board last night, when the situation was considered and discussed length. The recent slump in cotton brought about a chaotic tion in the yarn market, and the spinners feel that it is for them to be “up and doing” if they would avert something tEat-might be close akin to a trade catastrophe, When the price dropped, many mills were loaded up with the raw material, bought at high prices, and the matter that now concerns them is getting rid of their products without a loss.

The last issue of the Moultrie Observer made its appearance in the form of a large and hand some illustrated pamphlet,show ing the many industries of the city and connty, besides many other important features. The Pamphlet was a hummer. « m «« at THIS IS THE ADVICE 0 F WUUSSIONER 0 STEVERS. \ a - Commissioner O. B. . solves the problem of better prices for the cotton ! as follows: I think all this talk : burning up 500,000 bales of i ton so as to get better prices j the remainder of the crop ipure nonsense, and take stock in it. What would j the use of burning it up j then planting next year to 1 place what has been : Now’ woouldn’t it be better to plant . for . .. big a croo next * 1 ' and then . would .. not , have we burn any cotton? My I to the farmers is to store i the half of the present crop, for instance, 6,000,000 and next year plant for 6,000,000 more. In other just plant half as much land in cotton next year as was planted in cotton this year, and take rest of the land and put it in grain and hay. Raise hogs cattle and home supplies and independent. The way for the cotton grower to get his price for cotton is for him to make that crop his surplus. When he can live without being forced to sell his cotton, he will then be in a position to demand a good price for his crop. The buyers will then ha ve to come to him instead of his going to the buyer. If a man is not forced to sell a certain thing and can get along without doing so he is then independent of the other fellow. This plan in mv opin ion, beats burning cotton ail to death.” “Now, if the planters will next year plant twenty acres in cotton to the mule and put the other twenty acres in grain and feed stuffs, the crop will be smaller than it is this year and we can then hope for better prices. If we can get practical ly as much money for 6,000,000 bales as we can get for 12,000, 000 bales, why not raise 6,000, 000, and then on the remainder of our land raise products that will make us independent, so that we can put our own price on the cotton that we have to sell. However, it is my opin ion that we will have a demand for all the cotton we have, if not within the next month or two, why before the next crop comes in, and if the crop is cut down w*e will be in just that much better fix. The countrv is growing, and naturally we need more cotton. It is my opinion that a very large pro portion of this year’s crop that has been sold has gone to spin ners across the waters and that our own mills have not bought much more cotton than they need to work along on until the 1 price comes down to suit them, or until they feel satisfied that the price has made a landing then to stay at least until the next crop is gathere \ “Let the farmers get in a fix to live at home, make their cot ton a surplus crop, and then they can be independent and dictate the price.” No man is a good citizen who hoardes up his wealth and re fuses aid to public 'improve ments for the benefit of the community in which he lives • Such a man is a mossback and a millstone about the neck of any town, a barnacle on the community and a wan on body politic, Adairsville ner.

Ashburnham, Out., April 18 , 1908 .—I think it is only right to tell you what wonderful effect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost chok ed by the cough. The same day 1 received an order from you for a bottle of your ouge Remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was abl^ to preach three times on Easter Day. I knew that this rapid and effec tive cure was due to your ough Remedy. I make this testimo nial without solicitation, being thankful tb have found such a Godsent remedy. Respectfully Langfeidt, yours, E. A. M. A., Rector of St. Luke’s Church, To Chamberlain Medicine Co, This remedy is for sale by Wight & Browne*. * m. Athens, Dec. 20.—This after noon at the cotton warehouse of Deadwyler & Co., a bale of cotton fell on a negro named Frank Heard, breaking his neck and spine, from the effects of which injuries he died in half hour.
