SocondClass .Matter. Thursday, April 2, 1908. Publisher's Announcement. It is a settled point in newspaper ethics that edi'ors and publishers are not responsible for the views of correspondents, and the puhhcation of a communication does not mean that the editor or publisher endorses the communication. Tint Commonwealth adheres to these general prici-pies. Elsewhere in this issue we print an address by Mr. Albion Dunn, chairman of the county Anti-Saloon Washington, D. C, March 26. The Postoffiee Department has ag-ain modified its recent order in regard to lapsed subscriptions and will per mit newspaper and magazine pub lishers to continue sending; their pub lications to subscribers whose sub scriptions have expired, provided the subscribers request it be done. The whole end sought by the De partment if, to prevent publications having- fraudulent subscription lists from sending the publications inde finitely once they have a man's name on their lists. Thev do not wish to prohibit a legitimate publisher from crediting a legitimate subscriber if it is agreeable with both.

HASSHALL GABY. h Friend's Tribute. The late spring and the continued rains have kept farmers from plow ing as they have desired. Almost every farmer says he is behind with his work. Under these circumstances there is danger that the farmers will get in too great a hurry and plow their land when it is too wet. ' Better wait a day or two after the heavy rains than to turn up the soil when it is tod wet. It will injure the crops all through the year to plow the land vIien it is too wet. NOW IS THE TIME. discontinued. Wise Words to Farmars. (C. C. Moore in Nca-s and Observer.) To the Editor: Not since tlie time ! the Southern Cotton Association was organised, has there been so great a need for a strong eragnization in the South, for the protection of the price of cotton as at the present time. Here with an admitted shortage of near 3,000,000 bales for the adequate demands 'of the world, the specula tors unwarrantedly drive the price down S10 per bale in the face of these facts. Are our farmers and business men to sit quietly and see their aset for doing business lifted from beneath them? No, never. Then let every man in every cotton county get to his county courthouse on Monday, April 1 6th, and look the situation fairly in the face. We are up against a serious problem and one which requires the immediate consideration of every thinking man.

He was fal lowing his chosen profession, and with that artistic charactistic about him that would have brought to him eventually abundant success, that would have exalted him in the estimation of men, and won for him manifold laurels. Possessing in a large degree uniqueness of thought and original ity, which he strongly portrayed with pen, in picture, it was only natural that his work was being admired by the public, and receiving favorable comments from the eminent critics of the day. And though young in years, and without that experience which age brings, having those refined and cul tured qualities within him that bes peak the high-toned gentleman the world over, he would have towered the planting of cotton at least 25 per j ,iead and shoulders above that self- conscious man who lacKea tnc-se cent, onahalf would be even better. Landlords, just so sure as you per mit your "croppers" to plant the same acreage a3 they had last year, you are helping to bring stagnation to. all business interests in the State.

But perhaps some one will say that the Southern Cotton Association is all ineffective for good, else the price of cotton would not decline in the face of a two million deficit in the crop. To this may be answered that if there had been no Southern Cotton Association, with the panic conditions that have prevailed in the country since last October, cotton would doubtless be selling to-day as low as 7 to 5 cents. Yes, indeed the Southern Catton Association has held cotton to its present price, not withstanding the panic, and it is wisdom on the part of every cotton farmer to rally now to its support in order that it3 power may still be felt against the depression and decline in the price of cotton. Let there be a live interest with people other than farmers, for as the cotton crop of the South is the chief source of money and life of business, it behooves every person to do everything possible for the en couragement and support of the As sociation. Let there be a good meeting in Halifax next Monday.

His grand-mother, Mrs. McMahon, loved him as one of her sons, while Joseph and Perrall McMahon loved him perhaps as no ether living being, excepting their mother. No woncfer, then, that he should have grown to be such a loveable young man, having those influences about him which go far toward mak ing the life beautiful. Every one loved him, old and young, large and small, white and black. The dumb creatures loved him, too, for at his hands they re ceived only kindness.
