Till run OS' SITUATIOS TO
I>A 77-7.
The Government’s Kinnirq; report, is-
sued on Monday last, showed that two
million bales less hnd been pinned up
to Nov. 1 than for the same period last
year, and it is expected that the next
report will show a still further decrease.
These I ip ores would seem to assure
hipher prices for the staple, and yet
the market mndc but feeble response
Monday to what was a decidedly bullish
report. This lack of spirit is attributed
by cotton experts to various causes,
chief among: which is the difficulty ex
perienced in negotiating foreign bills of
exchange tendered in payment for cot
ton purchased on export nccount. Mill
takings in this country have shown n
marked falling off also during the past
few weeks, while stocks accummulnted
at foreign ports were, on Nov. 1, 388,-
00(1 bales in excess of holdings on the
same date last year, to which must be
added 536,059 hales ufloat for European
points on Nov. 1.
This is the situation to-day. Whut
the conditions may he to-morrow, or
next week, no man can foretell. We
know only that, with even a smaller crop
than w as predicted earlier in the sea
son, cotton has declined $5 to $6 a hole
within the past three weeks. Indeed,
there is no staple commodity so un
stable, it seems, ns cotton. It is a
crop that cannot he relied upon. For
tunately, the farmers of this section
have raised more corn and meat than in
any year within our recollection, and to
this extent arc better prepared than
usual to meet conditions another year,
however unpromising they may lie.
It is increasingly evident that II to
Ilf cents for cotton, although due in
part to tlie short crop, is also largely
due to the Tact, that the acronge was
materially reduced this year, and that
less guano was used. This is proof
that the policy of reducing the cotton
acreage and increasing the production
of home supplies, is the wise policy for
the South. Therefore, the farmers of
this auction should guard uguinst the
repetition of a course that will prove in
the future what it has proven to he in
the past—hurtful to the point of ruin.
No well-informed authority believes
that it will he well for t.lic South to raise
a large crop of cotton next your: and
yet we fear this is just what a good
many farmers are planning to do. Even
if the war should come to a close before
the next cotton season opens, Europe
will not be financially able to take a
large crop otr our hands. The war, in
definite in its causes and purposes, is
also proving indefinite in its duration.
Of course, the end is nearer, just ns
the end of the world is nearer—but no
one can forseo when the end will he.
As long as the war lasts, and for years
afterward, cotton will have an uncer
tain value;—and, since it is a world
war, it is likely to he followed by a
world-wide business depression. Hut
the farmer who raises his supplies at
home, and manuges his tinnnces pru
dently, will be independent, even if the
war goes on for years, or however it
jnav terminate.
future that women will help hv their
votes to decide questions of men and
measures that come before the people
of this country.
Alter wrangling for ten days over
the various prohibition measures pro
mised at the extra session of the Gen
eral Assembly, the warring factions
came together in caucus last night and
agreed upon a bill containing the fol
lowing provisions, viz: To go into
effect May 1, 1910; to aoolish all locker
clubs, beer saloons and breweries after
sBid date; to limit the amount of intox
icants shipped to one person for private
consumption during any thirty-day
period to one-half gallon of whiskey,
one gallon of wine and forty-eight pints
of beer; to prohibit newspnpers from
carrying liquor advertisements, and
also to prohibit the posting of liquor
advertisements on bill hoards. As a
result of this agreement the anti-prohi
bition faction will offer no further op
position to the measures proposed by
the major'ty faction, and it seems cer
tain now that all prohibition hills will
be enacted into law without delay.

Club Boys and Girls Had a Great
Day.
The Corn Club boya and Canning
Club girls met in Newnan on Thursday,
1th inst., and placed on exhibition at
the court-house some of the results of
their year’s work. The exhibits were
a credit to the county as well as to the
club members.
In the afternoon Sheriff Brewster
treated the club members to ice cream
and soda drinks at Lee’s drug store,
and afterwards took them for a car
ride over the city. The were also en
tertained by Mr. Euke at the Strand
Theatre, and, needless to say, they en
joyed the splendid pictures such as The
Strand always shows.
A list of the prizes and names of
prize-winners will be published in a

Many Voters,
I'EM A L E S VEER Ml E.
Several States have voted recently
on the question of giving women the
right to vote, ami in all of them the
proposed amondnfbnt to the Gonatitu
lions of those States was defeated.
But the question is by no means t>ot
tied in this country. The man who
thinks it is has failed to read the signs
of the times intelligently. There are
many good women who believe that
their sex ought not to be deprived o
the right of suffrage, and it is not the
nature of women to rest quietly unile
what they regard as a great injustice.
It has seemed to some conservative
people that women have not fully ap
preciated the reasons why men object
to female suffrage. Possibly it would
be more correct to speak of the objec
tions that men have to women voting
as more sentimental than otherwise.
It is a mistake to suppose that men
generally believe that women are in
capable of exercising the franchise in
telligently and wisely. There are many
women who understand public questions
quite as well as men do, and some of
them better than many men who have
the right to go to ttie polls. If women
only understood the reason why many
oppose the extension of the right
to vote to women, they would appre
ciate it ns a compliment to their sex.
True mep iionor true women, and for
that reason they do not wish to see
them compromised in the least by mix
ing up with public affairs. It may be
a mistake to associate voting with im
modesty; hut this idea, false as it may
be, is at the bottom of the reluctance
of men to give women the ballot.
Hut the question is not settled. It
will come up again and again, and it is

An Enjoyable Aflair.
One of the most enjoyable affairs of
the season was the dinner given hy Mr.
and Mrs. M. R. Story at their beauti
ful country home on Sunday last in
honor of the latter’s brother and fami
ly, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Ingram, of Wolf
l-ity, Texas. The house decorations
were white and yellow chrysanthemums
and ferns. The guests arrived about 9
a. m. and were cordially welcomed hy
the host and hostess. Some good sing
ing was rendered during the forenoon,
in which everyone joined. At the noon
hour the guests were invited out under
the shade of a beautiful tree, where
the table was set. In the center of the
table was a large vase of chrysanthe
mums. The writer cannot enumerate
the many good eatnbles, hut one well-
remembered dish wuh " 'possum and
tater.”
Those present were Mr. J. T. Ingram
and fumily, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Rob
inson, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hutchens
Mr. Hilly Robinson and Master I.uthor

The occasion was a family reunion in
honor of Mr. and Mr3. .lohn Ingram,
who moved from Coweta to Texas
about 28 years ago. They will now
make their home in Newnan. The day
was very pleasantly spent. A Guest.

Listen, Four-Crop Contestants.
You boys in the four-crop contest are
showing by your interest that you are
enthuastieally supporting the better
scientific ways of farming. Of course,
you are young in this movement, but
you are getting such favorable results
that you are causing much comment in
the community, which is favorable in
every way. You are receiving com-
r pliments everywhere, and this should
he a great stimulus to urge you to
