Daniel J. Sully, the great cotton ball who did so much to advance the price of cotton a year ago and by this means pat hundreds of thousands of dollars in the pockets of cotton farm ers, has issued the following appal to farmers: If you wish to win your tattle, and obtain a tair price ror your corcon.you muEt reduce your acreage very con sidemblv. ' .Yon have surprised the world by th manner in which you have held your cotton. Surprise it again by cutting down your acreage. ' Do "not be led astray by the present steadiness of prices. Three causes have contributed to bring about this rise of more than one cent a pound. First. The urgent need arising from an unprecedented consumption. Second. Your courage and wisdom in making the buyer met his terms. Third. The belief that you woud cut ynur acreage to such an extent that the supplies from this crop and the growth of 1905 06 would make a commercial crop no longer than the world needs. The first -two eanss lose their force the moment it is known that there is a prospect for a moderately large crop next year. Even if the mills take 12, 000,000 bales during the currnt season, this would leave a carry-over of 1,000, 000 bajes. Hence the necessity of a smaller crop this year. Do not let any rise in prices between now and the end of the plan tine sea son deter you from reducing your acre age. ' Such an advance would be anticipat ed that you were making friends have advised you to make. I If the J une reports of the govern 1 ment show that you have failed to , make suulcient reduction the only per j sons who would be ginners by the ad I vance would be speculators who sell out their futures at a profit. The price of cotton you produce will be regulated by the actual, not the ex pected, reduction. Don't depend on your neighbor to do the reducing. In this matter of acreage reduction bear in mind three suggestions: Don't rely on bad weather to cut down the crop. Don't put a large acreage into cot ton simply because it is too late to plant corn or other diversified crops. It would be far better to let prt of your land lie idle than to run the risk of raising a crop t o large as to make possible another period of low priced cotton. , 1 am making this appeal to you be cause I regard the next few weeks as critical in the South and because I believe that every man who is interest ed in the welfare of the South thculd urge the importance of a reduction in acreage. WHAT DREAMS MAY COME Copyright, 1904, by T. C. McClure. All day long the heavy leaden clouds had been threatening rain, and toward evening it began, very softly at first, but growing steadily in volume, until at S o'clock it was a veritable downpour, rattling steadily on the tin roof of the hotel piazza and beating against the windows in spiteful fashion. It -was cold, too, and a cheerful fire crackled and sputtered sturdily in the big fireplace in the hotel office, but de spite the fire and the lights and the gay chatter of the guests congregated In the big palm lined room the effect of the storm outside was glaringly evi ient. A cold, rainy evening at a popu lar summer hotel is something to be re membered and avoided. .Near the fireplace at a score of little tables the energetic Mrs. Potter" had started a game of progressive euchre, and in the big hall the orchestra had been pressed into unwilling service by some of the younger guests, and the strains of the latest popular waltzes and the sound of shuffling feet drew many people thither. " Streeter, lounging in a chair near the desk, alternately read a morning paper for the third time and. tried to find some interest in the attempts of the other guests to amuse themselves. In sheer desperation he was perusing the ''want column" M'hen be saw Miss Gale come down the broad stairs. He was by her side in a moment. "I wanted to claim you before Mrs. Totter kidnaped you or some one else dragged you off to dance," be explained laufirhinelv. . xne girl guinea amusedly ana shook a finger at him. "I can see at a glance that you, are bored to death and in search of diver sion at any cost," she said. "Your din gnosis is correct," said he. "I am suff f-ring from that unhappy malady, or I was until I caught 'Sight of you. You know that it was because you recommended this place that I came here. Now, you must do your best to dispel the gloom that has de scended upon me." ; "What shall I dor' she asked lightly. "Introduce you to some of Mrs. Pot ter's proteges or get Mrs. Vandent to give you the personal history of every one here?" "I think," said Streeter, "that Chopin In the music room would be the best antidote." "You are very modest in your de mands," she laughed. "Chopin you shall have until you cry for mercy. Come on!" They made their way to the little music room far down the corridor, and to Streeter's unutterable delight they found it quite deserted. Streeter turned out the lights and lighted two little red shaded candles on the piano. "Just right now for the fifth noc turne," be said as he surveyed the two spots of color in the gloom. The girl ran her fingers over : the keys, and Streeter drew a chair' near her and sat down. She began to jlay the fifth nocturne very softly, - and Streeter, leaning back comfortably, watched the pretty profile outlined faintly by the candle light. And as he listened to the rain beating against' the windows be realized the good that a seemingly ill wind had blown him. The nocturne died away as it had be gun, very softly, and he drew his chair into the little circle of light "The only trouble with that -noc-turne,r' he said gravely, "is that, like all things temporal, it comes to an end." "Are .you fond of them?" she asked. "I'll play another." "Do you know," he said quickly, "I have often dreamed of some such situ ation as this." "A long, dreary evening at a storm bound summer resort?" she laughed. "No," he said seriously; "of a piano and candles with little red shades and of you playing nocturnes to me like this." She began another nocturne, even more softly, that it might not inter rupt their conversation. ''Dreams very seldom come true," she said. And whether or not her tone was mocking Streeter was at loss to decide. . He silently listened to the nocturne and studied the girl's profile intently, but the profile was noncommltal. : He leaned forward In his chair and spoke very softly. "It was a very pretty dream," he said, "one of those Intangible bits of hap piness that makes one loath to come to prosaic earth again. There was one thing about those dreams, how ever, quite different from this partial realization." . "And what was that?" she asked. "The piano and the little red shaded candles and and you were in my own house," he said. The nocturne grew, a trifle louder. The girl's glance was turned to the other side of the room. " "What a presumptuous dream!" she said. "Was it?" said Streeter meekly. "I couldn't help dreaming it, you know." There was a long pause. Then he said slowly: "Perhaps It was presumptuous. You see, I wasn't asleep when I dreamed it." The nocturne came to an abrupt end ing. The girl rose from the piano. "You're not angry?" said Streeter in alarm.- "N-no," she said. "Then then," he began and halted miserably. "Tell me," he said, "do dreams go by contrary?" The girl had reached the door. She turned, and even in the dim light he could see the deep color in her cheeks. Not not day dreams," she almost whispered. GRANT OWEN.
