As the pendulum .* wings, ao aome of us are rich awhile and then poor; poor awhile and then rich. But perhaps the happiest mor tal after all 1^. the man that Is neither rich nor poor, and Is able by good common sense to maintain his equili brium, and develop some other prompt ing of the soul other than the love of riches. It is all an Individual proposition. Each farmer, like each other cltlsen. must map out his own course and pur sue It. with common sense guarding and guiding. THE REMEDY IN THE FARMER. least spring the Southern farmers were told that the world needed 12.- 000.000 bales of cotton at lu cents n pound. They wvre advised to plant When Christmas is over we will an breathe easier. _____ Plethoric pocket books are bled about this time of t'.e year. JUSTICES OF PEACE. Retur for “4 bumper crop.” They believed, and they planted accordingly. Now they are holding meetings from North Carolina to Texas to devise Ways and means to get the 10 cents a pound promised. We. wish ttifcm si; the success imaginable, and if It is in the power of The Telegraph to help them In any way It will be too glad to do It But experience has shown that farm rrs. being great In numbers and widely diffused over an extensive area, find It hard to act as a unit Experience hue shown (hat they do not co-operate like snore compact bodies, such an ara con grated in the cities and towns. They cannot meet every night and talk 11 over. They cannot hear the voices of their leaders urging them to stand firm for a common purpose. They canno( set In secret. They catfnot conceal th*lr holdings. The buyers ot cotton have better facilities and usually know more about the crop, about the weather all over the cotton belt, and about the quantity of cotton made and held, than the farmers do. This Is a fact which the producers of cotton msy us well look In the fsce. It Is not worth while to deceive themselves about It. After all. It resolves Itself down to the Individual equation. Each planter must map out for himself his own course. That course, If wisely plan ned. will bring Itself the wisest co operation. It must be based upon hu man experience—the lessons of all the years. That experience, those lessons, teach that a farmer must plant and prepare to reap ao that If cotton falls below the coat of production he will not be left stranded—without wheat and corn and oats; without live stock; In s word without supplies made on the farm to run him for another year. If he has to go to the broker, or the money lender—In the credit stores for supplies, be Is gone. To put the Idea In another form, the farmer must live by the fsrm. lie must make cotton a surplus crop. If he does this, if he makes wheat and corn and oats, live stock, fruits, and other product of the eoll support him. and pay the running expense* of the farm, whatever cotton he makes, at whatever price, goes net to hie Inside pocket. Preach this doctrine, and practice It. and the Houth will become the rich est agricultural section on the globe In ten years. If the farmers with a Urge crop, much of U posalbty on hand, succeed by holding It off the market In forcing the price up. It will 1m* a temporary ex- T alent only. If there It a bumper • m)) this year, nnd a good price obtain c«I for It. what Is to prevent another bumper crop next year? And a bumper crop on top of a bumper crop means rive cents cotton. There la no euay road to riches. II ( Is hard to hold It when It comes. The tide come In and the tide goes out. The sand beaches are flushed and watered and th*n they are left to parch In the sun. It the tide did not go out there would be too much tide—to much water on the strand. If U did not come back there would he parched shores. To change the figure. If the pendu lum did not swing forward It would not awing backward. If tt hatted on a dead center the clock would stop. The machinery would cease to throb »n«i perform tte use.

And later those same parents, them- aetvea too often skeptical, are troubled to know* what lo do about It. Home crude, Iconoclastic, reformer* boldly teach that It Is all a mistake—nil wrong: that It I* a deception which ought not to bo practiced. Hut la there not a (liver of good gifts to children —and to men? Unless of all men we of Christendom are moet miserable, there IH euch a Santa! All the trouble about It comes of skepticism. Do wo really believe the story of the Manger nnd the Croat? Do w* believe In Chrlalmaa? Do wo believe that th* day la sat apart to celebrate th* greatest of all event* In the history of men? If we doubt II. w# doubt that there I* a good Hants, If we do not believe It wo do not be* lltva In the so-called myth of the Yule time, nut men of the Christian faith ar* supposed to believe II. They are atippoeed lo tench their children ao. Ha who atumblo*. however, he who doubts. Is prone tn dissociate th* good Santa from the great Oliver ot all good gifts to men. They build up tho Idea at Unit with a llttlo child, probably lo gratify thrlr own selfish pleasure at eeolng the little ayes beam wllh happiness on Christmas morn. They light tho spark—they kindle Iho flame—and then, oh pity of II. they let It flicker olid die. If they do not rudely amothrr II wllh the wet blanket of their own unbelief! There are some who Initiate their little ones Into the mystery of Rants Claus In the regular wnF. They leach them to hang up tho stocking, as the ruslom la lo receive good gifts. Aa the children grow older they are taught that the good Santa Is another nam, for tho Heavenly Father; that Ho la tho real g'vtr of good gifts to children. Then later they ore taught that the Heavenly Father lines human Instruments—pula II Into the hearte of earthly fathers and mothrra to give glflo to lllllo children, whom He lovea. especially on Chrlalmaa day.

It further being true that the present price of spot cotton Is below the cost of production the farmers should re sist such reduction in every legitimate munnsr possible, therefore be It. Resolved.
