The meeting of the Southern Cotton Grower' Association in Asbevllle eppesrs lo hire beeu enlbusisstically harmonious ud highly representative. We eea it bss fixed tbe minimum prior for this yesrs crop it 11 cents a pound While we ere wholly unwilling to ssv eughtagainit any iel protest- ire itep ot a greatly wronged and moat important olaet or section of onr oountry. we dare to expren doobt about tbe estimate agreed on for tbeorop of 1905.' It will very probably be larger, but it will fall abort of the orop of 1904. We would bare voted with the representatives of the Carolines for making tbe minimum 10 oent in place of 11 oeuta, bnt preferring I ten oentt and a nan. ins most I richly bleaaed of all the people on I the earth are tbe ootton growera Of I nor aeotioD of thia great country. ': Bat w throw away by bad man' f agemanl or by no management the . ease, oomfort ana proepsrtty.wnien t we might enjoy. Intelligent' and loyal oo-operatioo would make tbe Southern ootton planter the moat independent and prosperous man on earth. Let as strike together. The report that is the Supreme fjoort has delivered an opinion in whioh it eays that when trains fail to make oonoeotiont the roads are responsibls and may be made to refood the cost of tickets to tbe disappointed and delayed peseeo arers. We bays sot seen this opin ion, bnt we prseame that this unqualified statement of lie pur port is incorrect. . There msy be oases in whioh tbe rosds are inex cusably rsspontibla and there may be oases in which no reasonable man would attach any fanll what ever to tbe. roads. This is too obvious to spend time in illustrat ing it. This leads ne somehow to remark that the safer ecmne is to : wait and see farther before eon- : demniog the attendants of the - asylum la Ealsii h of a great orime id the matter of the death of : patient Nail, of Chatham. Mall is said to have beeo a powerful ' man Dbvsieallr and had a hot 1 temper and was dangerous where , swryed by passion. It is possible ; that these captors who are under ! fire for inflicting wounds of whioh he died may have been reasonably moved for oersonal safety to strike blows wholly anintended to. be , fatal, bat for self protection ' solely. It is easy to maks aeon , eatioos aoder eooh eooditions and ( we are sll too ready to paint grnesoms picture of guilt in easss of tbs kind. . .., I c.,,. , .:U, , e e , ';. V. V I Now that it is cleartr that peace is ooms between Japan and Kos u it is also olsarer that both parties wanted it. There is -no doubt in onr mind that there ie great gladness in the hearts of the nneelfish and greatest leaden in both eonotrios. The riots m Tokto mean little. It was to be expected that eoao in eaoh ooaotry would And fault and show anger. The sod of the war was well. It woold have besa a canes for sorrow if either nation bad been utterly omened. Tbe highest f wd of tbs world woold be advaneed .far bet ter if neither of these two peoples shoeN eome to the power a sweep ing wictorr aaurbt have uvea. All re agreed perhaps that it would have been a long nod sad day if the armies of Kaasta had seen triumphant throughout. Tbe same may have been feared if Jtpaa had actually overwhelsMd hsr foe. We shrink from tbe state of af fairs wherein she, to ether with tbe very great iofiaeoee shs wields ever China, shoe Id some u her own inherent strength ts tbs great power so great in woald nave brought her. - The aasoant of corruption in the menegemsot of the dispen saries in Booth Carolina that in vesturtuoa is briogiog to light is earpnetng and deplorable. It looks like this metnod oi shaniof and restricting the evil in tbe wkisksy problem n doomed. There is dan ger ahead for tbe rwal friends of a rightsow prohibition of too wh key trsfbc Lb lees it is admitted that there is so at wok eorraenoa in the Bute at Urge it is iapoe- aiblo to have the system oonduowd faithfully and honestly, it appears to na that tbs wisest thing to do ia to oorreot tbe abnssi sod "on tiuns the system. Over two bun dred per oent. mors whiskey is oooaomed in the ooaotry at large tbsn ia consumed in this state. This speaks well for tbs method So great a rednotion argues that tbere it merit in it. In making change under tbe existing oiroum stances sod developments thsre danger of felling into a worse plao of dealing with the great svil. lesp from the frying pto may be made into the fire. It it no good sign to see the saloon men, all lbs wbiakey c rgscizttiont and lovtn of open grcg shops iu bsttts array againat the ditpenaary. Boms of them even profess to b iu favor of prohibition, . 77,f;w,.-;.,.:.s.. A:;?': how here it is again, a new manifestation of tfci'world trying to erutn a mfco necsuss ne is oour sgeous, fearless and right, in tbe discharge of his doty to God and bia fellow meo. It is whispered tbst the whiskey and other evil influences sre going to try to de feat ons ot ins osst of oar. judges, TBomss enaw, Deoanse ne is faitn ful in snforcing the law and msk ing it a terror to evil doers. Tbs same machinery of Sattn that it planning to defeat Senator Sim mons on socount of bis bold and fearless stand for temperance, or. der, tbe boms, the church and all that is good in a great oommoo wealth. We do not believe that access will corns to their efforts in either case. These two upright, able and ooosoieotions offioisls are going to sweep tbe fields.
