Is Cotton Being Held Back?
It is probable that cotton grow
ers are in doubt whether to sell
their cotton at the present high
price or to hold it for a still higher
price. The receipts at this port
show that they have been selling
pretty freely, but it would not be
surprising if the recent frost and
the reports that the crop will not
be as large as was the crop last
year were to have the effect of
making them hesitate to sell as
they have been selling.
Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens is of the opinion that the
recent frost did not do much, if
any, damage to the crop in this
state. On the contrary, he be
lieves that it helped it in some lo
calities, but the fact that a very
considerable rise in the price fol
lowed the frost shows that in the
opinion of cotton men generally
the damage throughout the cotton
belt was considerable.
Of course it is practically impos
sible to get such information as to
condition of the crop in all parts
of the cotton growing section as
will enable experts in the cotton
business to say what the size of
the crop will be, but they have
their opinions. The majority of
these opinions seem to be that the
crop will not be as large as was the
crop of last year, Assuming that
such is the case, that the fact will
be more clearly apparent as the
scason advances, and consequently
there will be an advance in price,
providing, of course, there are no
intervening factors that will have
a depressing effect upon the mar
ket.
There does not seem to be any
doubt that the crop in Texas is
less than was the crop in that state
last year, and the belief that the
crop in this state will show a fall
ing off of many thousand bales.
It is doubtful if any other states
there is such an increase in the
crop as will make up for the loss
in these states, even if there are
not other states in which theteis a
shortage. Farmers, however,
must be their own judges as to
whether or not they will hold their
cotton for a higher price, though
it must be admitted that at present
it looks as if they wouldn't make a
mistake by doing so,—Savannah
Morning News.
Weare glad we don't run a

fia counties they actually sent nl

THE MONTICELLO NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1903.
The Advance of Democracy.
Democrats all over the couritry‘
are rejoicing over the splendid
fight made by the party in all parts
of the country. They foresee
coming democratic victory in the
national election next year and a
return to good government in this
republic, |
The result in the city of New
York was surprising as to the mo
jority given McClellan over Low
for mayor, although it was what
was expected as a general result.
The victory of McClellan in the
borough of Brooklyn was the sar
prise of the election, as that bor
ough had been practically conceded ‘
to Low.
The result in Maryland was a
tribute to the untiring work of
Senator Gorman, and by the dem
ocrats is regarded as a (listinct"
triumph for the doctrine of white
supremacy, as the negro question
cut a large figure in the election
in that state, |
Kentucky held her own all right
in spité of a very bitter fight that
had been waged there against
Gov, Beckham by the republican-,
The results in Maryland and Ken
tucky are of sufficient significance
as to indicate that they are safely
in the democratic column to stay.
That brings back the solid South
as of yore, with the exception of
West Virginia and in that state
next year it will be a nip and tuck
fight.
The sweeping victory in New
York emphasizes the importance
in the eyes of the democratic mass
es of nominating a man from that
state next year to lead the demo
cratic party to victory in the pres
idential contest. There is no
doubt about the platform being
one in favor of sound money and
thoroughly acceptable to the great
business interests of the country,
and with a strong New Yorker on
that platform the party has good
chances to win.
President Roosevelt could get
no consolation out of the result of
Tuesday's elections save in the
state of Ohio, where Mark Hanna
gained a tremendous triumph over
the democrats and saved his seat
in the Senate for another six years.

Every Town Its Own Banker.
One of the most indicative fea
tures of recent treasury reports is
the fact that in October fifty-seven
national banks were organized,
with $2,500,000 aggregate capital, |
or an average of nearly $44,000
each. Perhaps the majority of the
new banks were of the $25,000]
class and represent the enterprise |
of the citizens of county men and|
rural peoples in establishing bank- |
ing facilities of their own. ,
These are good signs of the ac- |
cumulation in the hands of thc{
people of money for investment |
and of a sensible desire to put it|
into financial institutions that are|
safe and helpful to the business|
euterprises of the vicinage. A |
very small bank issuing So per|
cent of its capital in fluid currency |
and lending both it and a large
proportion of its normal deposits
to those who are its immediate
patrons, is of incalculable benefit |
to the whole community, It runs
out of the average note-shaver and
the agent of foreign mortgage
companies and so keeps active the
money of the people in the work
of those to whom the home bank
caters on reasonable terms and un
der safe securities,
It isalso noteworthy that $2,295-
000 of the capital above mention
ed was contributed by fifty of the
fifty-seven new banks located in
the south and the west. This in
crease of banking capital in those
sect'ons means that much less of
money committed to the care and
use of banks located at a distance.
The money remains at home and
makes it more possible for the
producing sections to handle the
making #nd moving of their crops.
~ These are encouraging signs of
the passing times.—Atlanta Con
