Having traveled over the entire Cotton Belt, from Virginia to Tex as. and from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico, and having been active ly engaged in the raising of the fleecy staple as a cash crop fog the hist thirty-one years, we hope we will be pardoned for our seeming assumption and egotism in at tempting to do our mite toward making “the wilderness to blossom as the rose.” We would not have undertaken this task were it not for the fact, after many years of close observation, we have become satisfied in our own mind that the one thing and the only thing that ails the Southern farmer today is lack of system. It is lack of system that has de pleted Southern soils, brought in to existence our “old sedge fields,” serrated our lands with impassable gullies, glutted the market with three and one-half cents cotton, caused the cotton planter to lose that spirit of independence that should characterize every Ameri can farmer, and instead of en couraging self-reliance has gradu ally brought him to the place where he depends upon the mer chant to furnish him with veriest necessaries of life, art, some function for the one to whom on b' provo thnt ns men approach old literature makes no appeal and who Is a *h‘ they are more foolish Ilian they appeal not sensitive to music, hut tlier Is no 1 were In youlh? place In the state for tfie man w7,o has neither Initiative, self reliance, patriot ism nor love of home.

Bl.li op Clark ami I lie 1‘ulitr Ilrunx.., There was no limit to the humorous situation for which the Right Itcv. Thomas L. Clark, hlsliop of Rhode Island, was responsible. Home yours ago while attending a lecture iu Bos ton he observed a man silting three scuts in front whom he thought ho know. Ho requested the person sitting next to him to “punch” the other In dividual with bis umbrella. The polite stranger did so and. the disturbed person turning Ids head a little, Bishop Clark discovered bis mis take. It was not the person be sup posed. Fixing bis attention steadfast ly on the lecturer and affecting uncon sciousness of the whole affair be left the man with the umbrella to setfle with the other for the disturbance, and, ' this man being wholly without un ex cuse, there was, of course, a ludicrous and embarrassing scene, during all of which Bishop Clark was profoundly In terested in the lecture. At last tbe man with the umbrella asked, rather Indignantly, “Didn’t you tell me to punch tbat person with my umbrella?" “Yes.” “Aud what did you want?” “I wanted to see whether you would winch him or not’’—Boston Herald. I In the midst of iiis tireless la bors in llic raising of church debts, former Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, told a reporter at, Knox ville why he wanted to be elected a United States Senator, how he regarded his opponent, Senator Carmack, and wiiat his prospects were. Having lieen dubbed the “Knight of the White Feather” by his opponent, Gov. Taylor promptly accepted tho honor and began distributing tiny white leathers among his friends as a campaign badge, lie said: “I havenothing to say with reference to my honorable oppo nent and his assault upon me. I declined a joint discussion with him because if lie bus the intention to abuse me I don’t want to be there to hear it. Tho people and I are in this race. Our chins are over the moon and our tails are over tiie stars, ami then* is “slio’ gwine to bo runnin’.” “Tiie lion of my ambition roar- et.li not with thirst for Democratic blood, but for a least on Republi can lamb, and for senatorial glory. “I have adopted the white leather and white rose as the badge of my campaign, because the rose giveth forth tiie sweet I odor of Democracy and lilt* leather ; is a sign that I am Hying. If one i of my good Republican foes wishes i to meet me in the arena to discuss j the questions of the day, I will gladly grant him an equal division of my time, but 1 can never stain my white feather with the blood of a Democrat.” Good, very good.

Another delightful feature of the Tennessee campaign is tiie fact that no issue divides tli(>se cava liers. They have nothing before them but the duty of elevating the moral tone of Tennessee through tiie establishment and strengthen ing of religious institutions. They are rivals only in a spiritual sense. Polities is far, far removed from their campaign. 'J'lie people of Tennessee will judge these knights by the churches they have re lieved, the Y. M. ('.
