LIFE’S DISAPPOINTMENTS / \ AS L pM v a ©d iCopyngUt. * TAX ON COTTON MEN. President's Bill of Lading Recommen dation Not Pleasing to T rade. New Orleans. —President Taft’s rec ommendation in his annual message to congress relative to the guaranteeing of through cotton bills of lading has stirred up a furore among the cotton interest of the South, who assert that the President’s suggested plan would result in a heavy load upon this in dustry. President W. B. Thompson of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange issued a statement in which he sets forth the injustice of the plan to the South ern cotton growers and merchant. Os- Icial action is expected to be taken within the next few days by the New Orleans exchange and by commercial bodies generally throughout the South as a protest to congress against the adoption of any such plan as that out lined in the President’s message. FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS. Value of Crops This Year Is Nearly Nine Billions. Washington.—Nothing short of om niscience can grasp the value of the farm products of this year, is the statement of the secretary of agricul ture in his annual report for 1910. At no time in the world’s history has a country produced farm products within one year with a value reaching $8,926,000,000. which is the value of the agricultural products of this coun try for 1910. The value of farm prod ucts from 1899 to the present year has been progressive without inter ruption. The corn crop of 3,121,381,000 bush els exceeds that of the record years 1906, and is greater than the average crop of the preceding five years by 14 per cent. While the value of this corn crop is below that of 1909 and also of 1908, its amount belongs to stories of magic. It can hardly be reckoned as less than $1,500,00(^,000. The growing importance of the South in corn production is becoming conspicuous. In 1889 it produced hard ly more than one-fifth of the national crop; now it produces one-third. The cotton crop of this year may be worth in lint and seed around $900,000,000 at the farm, or more than the corn crop was worth in any year prior to 1901. This value is 13 per cent, above the five-year average. This is the year of highest produc tion for corn, oats, the total of all ce reals, and for tobacco. But the only crop that reached its highest value this year is cotton. wheatpricFadvances. After Eight Months of Inactivity Wheat Jumps 20c a Barrel. Atlanta. —After a long, tedious drag ging in the wheat market, which has lasted over a period of eight months, during which time the .price of flour has declined, the market has taken a sudden jump, the millers putting the price up 20 cents per barrel. The advance applies largely on the better grades of flour. An Indiana miller is quoted as saying that the wheat situa tion is now in the hands of the farm ers of the west, who have nailed up the granary doors and are demanding $1 for the best grade of wheat, and that the recent heavy deliveries con sisted largely of inferior grades. Urges Japs to Prepare for War. Victoria, B. C. —The Japanese must prepare for war with the United States, is the text of an article pub lished by the Tokio Nipper, ‘ japan must ask herself,” says the Nippon, "what object an element of United States citizens have when they advo cate the expenditure of • enormous sums on furnishing thd Pacific with a big fleet; of cheating a powerful army on the Pacific slope; of build ing a huge coal depot and naval sta tion in Hawaii, and of fortifying the Philippines, Hawaii and Panama’.’ Subterranean Still in Alabama. Montgomery, Ala.—An elaborate subterranean distillery, containing two immense copper stills and complete equipment, was unearthed in Ran dolph county, three mile’s south of Malone, by revenue officers, who have just reached Montgomery.

Democrats Spent Less Money Than the Republicans.
