I "All of the tobacco raising btates from Wisconsin to the Carolina* are included in this organization j The growers are assured by their leaders that if no crop is grown in j 1908 they will receive as much for j the two unsold crops of U)O6 and 1907 as they would tor three crops should thev grow one next year. It is of vital importance to the grower that the two pooled ciops now on hand lie sold before another crop is started, otherwise many small producers will, it is said, lie bankrupt. "The decision of the executive committee of the Burley Orowers Association at Winchester yester day, not to grow a crop 111 190H, will have great influence with the American society. The Burley Association is a part of the 'Nation al. "The association opposes law lessness in every fotui' 1 The following dispatety.- from lleuderson, Ky., dated October .V>: "A meeting of fifty tobacco grow ersof McLean and several adjoin ing counties was held at l.ivennore last night and today. Pursuant to an agreement, they started out in squads, all through lite country to persuade the growers to pool their tobacco and urge the buyers lo Withdraw from the field. "Although the growers are thoroughly in earnest about their business they ha,ve not so far ai lempted any violence. One plant er, S. C. Tiehenor, >f McLean county, however, declares that , he has%een visited by "uiglil ri * d'fcrs'' thrk- times and has been 110 tified that he must pool his tobacco or suffer the consequences " No Parcels Post Net An exchange savs: The determination of the Post- J master General to make a vigorous campaign f°r the establishment of 4 "an adequate parcels post and a postals saving system is much com mended, though there seems to be no little opposition to the scheme in some quarters, and a keen appre ciation of such opposition has hith erto prevented any of Mr. Meyers predecessors in office fioin going into the fight. There will he some legal ohstacles to overcome, and they will, undoubtedly, be made the most of by those opposed to the reform, but there is no doubt that they can be oveiconie if Congress really desires it."" It is expected that a hue and cry will go up from some short-sighted bankers, from some ot the small town-mer chants, and from the senior Senator from Ne.v York who, it isexpecteil, will protest against an\'interference with the monojK»ly of the express companies. Nevertheless, Mr. Meyer is convinced th.it great ad vantage will accilie to the public from these relorins and lie has the sympathy and support of all truly patriotic citi/cns in lus commend able and progressive campaign. * tn our humble opinion we do not believe that the is ripe for the parcels post. The post office de partment should find what causes the deficit every year in that de partment l>efore inaugurating new schemes and remedy the trouble by removing the cause of the deficit. If, however, the department finds after the investigation which is now going on, that a parcel jiost can be inaugurated without in creasing the deficit; thatit will be self sustaining, then, and not till then, should this step be taken. In the face of the attitude of the post office department' officials to the publishers, trying to increase the second-class rate, that they, the , publishers, would not be so eager to advocate a measure that would add a probable cause of increasing that rate. The Price of Cotton. (Scotland Neck Common wealth I Jt seems strange that just at the Qpeniug of the cotton season, be fore the crop has hardly liegiin to be marketed, theprice of cott 11 should have already fallen three cents. The law of supply and de mand, which governs the price of everything, is as inexorable as the .Taws of nature. But sufply and demand certainly could not have caused this sudden drop in the price of cotton, for the supply is r Have Doctor _ No sense in running from one doctor to another.

Ayr Co., Lowa.L Mm scarcely more at present than it was two weeks ago. We profess to know very little altout the work ings of Wall Street manipulators, but there are people who know, and here they lay the blame. We do believe, and common sense and r- asoti will substantiate it, that |f; t'ie producer and consumer were li ft to attend to this sr.atter, the inevitable law of supply and de mand would adjust the matter slowly and naturally, as it does in the case of everything else where tlieie is no interference from spec ulators. Again, farmers are partly t > blame in this matter, for if they would not market their cotton tinder abnormally low prices, the speculator might bawl, but with out effect. The Progressive Farmer says on this subject: 1 When the gamblers commeced their sav age assault upon the price of the Southern farmer's principal money crop, cotton was selling at 13 cents. There is 110 reason absolutely 110 reason—in the real condition of things why that price or a Setter one should not lie pievailing now instead of a price two cents lower. At this lower valuation, set by the speculators not by the law of supply ami demand -the cotton crop of the South is worth al>out 1,90,oO(>,000 less than it was a mouth ago. Kvery legitimate business, every calling, industry in the South should feel a I concern in preventing such a money | loss to this section. One great de pressing factor is no doubt the distressed cotton that is the cot ton which/ 7 111.11$' small fanners must sell to"' nu'et their urgent obligations. Seeing that the farmers were organizing ware- It nises to hold and proUct this cot iton, the speculator made a dash for every pound of it they could pos siblv get-- and as the farmers' or ganizations are not yet prepared to [handle all the distressed cotton, the (speculators have made the most of it. Let the answer of the cotton growers to this condition of things I be thorough organization.'' Colds and Croup in Chlidrin "Sly little girl is subject to colds" says Mrs. W'lll. 11.
