The Telephone has received from President liar vie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Association, a strong letter on the cotton situation, and !
asking the aid of every one interested in the welfare of the south, to
help in keeping down the acreage for the present year. This is, un-
1
doubledly, a crucial period with the farmers, and if they make the mis
take of raising a large crop of cotton this year, we Relieve they will re
pent it bitterly later on.
Head this interesting letter from Mr. William V. King, Superinton- j
dent of the New York Cotton Exchange, to Mr. Richard Cheatham, of :
Atlanta, Secretary of the Southern Cotton Association: !
Dear Sir:
Your favor of the 19th. instant is received. Thanks for President
.Ionian’s'e,4?on statistics, etc., which give the facts clearly and intelli
gently. Immy / opinion the coming planting will to be the
season prove
most trying if not the most critical in the experience of the cotton
growers of the south Trying because there are many who believe 10 or
101 cents will prove so serious a temptation to the planter that he will
put every available acre in cotton. This opinion is not confined the good to people this
section of the country alone, but is endorsed by many of
of the south, not planters of cotton I am glad to say.
It will indeed prove a critical season for the planter and for the en
tire south should the temptation to OVER-PLANT in cotton be carried
out. The years of splendid work of your association together with that
of others who have co-operated, will be swept away, and a condition of
servitule for the planter will be re-enacted with its consequent (ic. or 7c
for cotton. This is not an extreme picture. It is certain to occur unless the
planters stand solidly together and for their own protection diversify the
planting, putting in a moderate acreage only in cot ton. If the planters
will not protect, themselves in a matter of such vital interest, to whom
can they look for help ? Certainly not to the buyer and the consumer.
To sum up the matter, the situation for weal or for woe, for 7c. or
for 12c. is entirely in the hands of the planter. In a brief interval of
time the world will know whether he has proven false to himself or has
had the courage and manliness to resist the temptation which now
threatens to wrest from him the control of the situation.
Yours truly,
Wm. V. KING.
Resident,Ionian is sending out blanks to all the members of the
Association and asking them to sign a pledge to cut down their cotton
acreage 25 per cent, for 1906, and to add that much to their food supply
crops. This is the practical thing to do; and all who, are members of
the Association, and, indeed, all who desire, t) tee the south continue
prosperous, should not hesitate to sign the pledge and send it in. If a

majority of the fanners will do this, it will mean that there is going to
be no over-production this year; it will mean that cotton will be worth
from ten cents up, the next season-; it will mean that there is going to be
a larger supply of food stuff on the farms, which, of itself, means
fad it will mean eontinned prosperity and happiness for the
southern people.
However, if we all refuse to regard these warnings—but let us not
attempt to look upon the other side of the picture. We all know, too
well, what six and seven cents cotton means. And now, let us get down
to business. Let every man do his duty, regardless of any one else, and
the question will be settled. Do not begin to make that, old mistake
again, of arguing that because the rest are going to cut down, you will
increase your acreage and in this way reap a greater benefit than those
who thus showed tin? r devotion to their country,
This is not only a most selfish proposition, but it is also a fallacy,
By running after cotuin, and neglecting those other crops that are so
vitally necessary to the sustenance of the farm, you cannot long remain
prosperous, no matter what price you may get for the ileecy staple. No
man is a farmer, in the true sense of the word, who keeps his crib
smoke house in the wegt-4-and such reasoning is too selfish to find a
place among a broad-minded people like ours. It is the philosophy
the man who cares for nothing and nobody beyond the boundary of his
own fences. !
And now let everybody pull together, if wo do not want to see tho
wave of prosperity recede, or even stop for a year. \ united
means success. We publish below the pledge that President
wants the farmers to sign If you do not see one of the papers sent out
by the Association, cut this out, and send it in, signed by yourself and
many others as jjou can get. It will make you feel better to do it,
it will be a blessing to yourself, to your neighbors and your country.

The company attributed this to
the doctor’s modesty.
“Very well,” asserted the doctor,
“if you can stand it I will sing.”
Long before he had finished his

down, broken at length by the voice

OBITUARY.
On March 4th, Gocl sent the death
angel, to bear home the sainted
spirit of our dear grandfather, John
A. Cubbedge, who bore the marks of
eighty nine years of toil and care.
How hard it was lo give our dear
grandfather brighter up. As the heavens
are than the earth, so God’s
ways are above our ways and our
finite minds cannot understand whv
lie permitted the angel of death to
enter the home of our grandfather!

Death appeared and carried from us
one of our loved ones. My consola
lion is found in consideration of the
fact that our treasure is in Heaven;
his poor worn frame-will never more
be racked with the agonies of pain,
his suffering is at an end, but it will
not be long until we cfoss the river
and join our grandpa and grandma,
among the host of the saved on the

find solace in some such thought as

memory of the departed—but it was

he cannot ever return to us again,
never to cheer us by his kind and
gentle words, and his dear presence,
Oh, how hard to speak the words
seemingly, we will miss him more
and more all the time. All of ou r
homes are sad without him, yet we
must know that pleasure only blooms

breaking it was for his friends, chil

his bed and know that it was the
last time they ever would see him,
only in the great beyond.
A precious one from ns is gone,
A voice we love is still
A place is vacant in onr hearts
Which never can bo tilled

He faded in the winter time
When all ot life seems best,
And in the new earth's better clime
We know he’ll there be blessed.
