North. That better understanding Is
difficult *0 obtain on account of the

GUE8SINQ AT THE CROP.
Hubbard Brothers A Company
•'have for many year# wondered that
the South permitted any eatlmate of
the cotton crop to he mnde by the Ag
ricultural Department.” and why “they
have not ato'pped Its Issuance, ns the
West did away with nny estlmut©
with the total yield of wheat.” „
Others have wondered equally. Last
spring, we believe It was. about the
time of the planting the cotton crop, the
head of the Agricultural Department
talked Indlgnnnlly about “the corner
of the cotton market.” and wanted
something done about It. He took the
side of the hears and was quite an
gry because the Southern farmers
were getting a llvljig price for their
product. But Wilson Is a Western
man, and besides the profession of
politics, is supposed to be a farmer—
or was one once* He Is always on the
bull side of the wheat market. Ac
cording to hta creed It Is a sin and a
shame for the poor to have to wear
cotton ahlrta made out of dear cotton,
but when It comes to buying bread,
th# poor be d—n. They must pay the
price. %
We do not see nny reason why the
government should bo guessing at the
cotton crop, and dept easing the mar
ket, any more than airing Its fore*
knowledge as to the yield of the West
ern wheat crop.

dors not think so. He says both aides

TO 8END IMMIGRANTS SOUTH.
An Important consultation, and one
that may have far-reAchlng results,
took pises in Washington on Monday
last Tha passenger agents of South
cm railroads and of Eastern and
Western railroads having Southern
connections met In the office of Immi-
graton Commissioner Frank P. Har-
grant to discuss with that official ways
and means of inducing Immigrants to
go South.
in addition to Commissioner Har-
gcant and his associates, the follow-
Ing were present: A. II. Hanson of
Chicago. C. L. Htone of Louisville. John
M. Benll of Ht. Louis, W. L. Donley of
Nashville. W. H. Tayloe of Washing

agents, and M. V. Richards of Wash

Immigration agents of various roads.
According to the Washington dis
patch before us, “It Is proposed to di

THE BASIS OF REPRESENTATION
Many persona In the Northern states
seem to be under th# Impression that
representation In the lower branch of
congress Is based. no* U P™ popula
tion, but upon the number of qualified
voters. Only In a limited s#nsa baa
thin ever been or in it now, true. The
law as It stood prior to the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment, and as
it la expressed In section 2, article 1,
of the constitution, was as follows:
"Representatives and direct taxes shall
he apportioned among the several states
which may be Included within this Un
ion. according to their respective num
bers. which shall be determined by ad
ding to the whole number of free persons.
Including those bound to service for a
term of years, and excluding Indians not
taxed, three-ftflhs of all other persons.'
In other words, representation was
based upon the population of the sev
eral state*, after two-fifth* of th# ne
gro slaves and all of tho Indians not
taxed were deducted from the total
population. Thus the basis of repre
sentation was, Hot the number of
ths voters, but the population after
the population had been slightly re
duced by the exception of two classes
of persons.
After the war and until the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment the
hoi* population In most states was
the baala, for the negroes were then
free and there were no Indians. The
fourteenth amendment later Intro
duced, not an actual, hut a possible
modification of this rule as follows:

It will ba sasn. therefore, that un
der the law as It now stands represen
tation tn the lower branch of con
gress Is at 111 based, not upon the num
ber nf qualified voters, but upon the
whole population. Under the four
teenth amendment, however, there
may be a reduction of the representa
tion of all euch states ns abridge the
voting right of their cltlxens for any
other cause than "participation In re
bellion or other crims." Several
Northern and several Southern stataa
have abridged the voting right of their
cltlxens, not for 'rebellion or other
crime,” but for Illiteracy, through tho
adoption of educational qualifications.
This provision Is as foolish na It Is
unjust, and was born of the passion
of the Civil War. but If It be enforced
against the Routhern states that have
violated It. ordinary Justice and de
cency demand that It be also enforced
against the Northern states which
have likewise set It at naught.

FARMER8 WANT BETTER PRICES
Resolutions Adopted by Farmers of
Washington County in Convention
Assembled.
RANDER8VILLE. Gn., Dec. lie-In
vfew of the present low price of cotton
which we feel Is unwarranted by the
conditions, believing that the govern
ment’s estimate, which so materially
Influenced tho "bears” to make their
raid on prices, Is erronlous; and be
lieving In view of ths enormous de
mand for manufactured products at a
price HAtlsfactory to the manufactur
ers who paid 10 cents to 11% cents
per pound for the raw material, that
even though a crop of 12,000,000 bales
be made, the natural demand would
be such as to warrant a price of ten
cents per pound for good middling
cotton, therefore, we, the farmers,
cotton growers and holders of cotton
In Washington county In conventln
assembled.
Resolve, That insomuch ns Is pos-
alble, we refose to offer a single bale
of cotton now on hand for a price less
than ten cents per pound, basis good
middling.
Resolve. That when this price or
more Is offered for cotton, that holders
of five or more hale* will place not
more thnn 20 per cent, of his cotton
on market at one time, and that this
method be continued until the hold
ings aro exhausted.
Resolve, That In order that thera be
no overproduction of cotton that we
will plant at least 15 or 20 per cent,
leas acreage In cotton In the year 1906
than the present year.
Resolve. That wo endeavor to Inllat
the interest and aid of all our mer
chants and hankers throughout the
country, that we may be mutually
henefitted, believing the result to be
obtained through a united effort
means money In the bands of the
farmer, and thus larger deposits with
our hanks, and more cash trade for
our merchants.
Resolve. That In view of the pro
posed plan on the part of the Cotton
Growers Protective Association now
in session In Hhreveport, La., to for
mulate plans looking to a complete or
ganisation among tho farmers thro
ughout the Houth. that wo defer a
permanent organisation In Washing
ton county until such plans have been
given out. In order that we may or
ganise In harmony with the other or
ganisations throughout the country.
Resolve, That we furnish our coun
ty papers with a copy of these resolu
tions, also the dally press of the state,
In order that our neighbor counties
may know just where we stand that
they may join with us In our stand for
better returns for our labor.
