This Brevard school is in the

from Ashville, N. 0. It is a large

most beautiful spot iu that beau

of an education. To enter this

is, I don’t have to. I have a way
of making myself out younger

telling a fib at all.”

Wheat sold in the Minneapolis
oash market a few days ago at $1
per bushel, thus realizing the
cherished dream of farmers and
bull operators. Wheat has not
sold as high as this since the fa
mous corner by Joseph Leiter, of
Ohioago, in 1898. Minneapolis is
the spring wheat milling center,
and the anxiety of Minneapolis
millers forced the prioe to the
top notch: The high price In
1898 was the direct effeot of a cor
ner, while it is claimed that the
iresent advance has not been in
fluenced by any oombinatiou of
traders, but simply by the de
mand and the shortage of the
supply.
So muoh for wheat and the
prosperous season that is being
enjoyed by the Western farmers.
Now, what about cotton?
Ten cents a pound for ootton
would mean for the farmers of
the South all that $1 for wheat
means for the farmers of the
great West. Ootton is really sell-
sngfor more than ten centB to
day, but wj.ll the present price be
maintained after August and /
through the months of Septem
ber and October when the farmers
will have cotton to sell?
It is claimed by many who han
dle cotton and by nearly all t.he
spinners of the staple both in this
oountry and in Europe that the
present prioe is due to a corner by
speculators—that the market is
abnormally high on account of
conditions that are due to specu
lation rather than to natural
causes. Upon the other hand,
there are those whp contend that
the conditions that have produc
ed the advance in the prioe. of
cotton are natural and based upon
the visible supply and a reasona
ble estimate of this year’s crop.
There appears to be no doubt of
the fact that there is loss raw
cotton fin the world to-day than
therp has been at any time during
the last} thirty years or perhaps
since the close of the Civil War.
and everybody in the South is
now predicting that this year’s
crop cannot possibly exceed the
average for the past ten years'
The mills have joined the bears
and closed down in an effort to
break the market, and the influ
ences that are at work to beat
do#n prices are confidently ex
pecting to succeed as soon as the
new crop* or any considerable
portion of i't, is ready for the
market.
. The next few weeks will teJl the
tale. Meantime, much depends
upon whether the farmers riish
their early cotton into market or
not. Some will be forced to sell,
whether the mrrket breaks or not,
in order to meet their obliga
tions but the great majority of
those in Georgia, or in this part
of the state at least, will be able
to play a waiting game with the
mills,
