Letter from cotton growers in three States show that farm ers are at last becoming aroused to tne fact that they are turning their crop over to middlemen and speculators with every prospect that these nonproducers through the coming vadvancb in price will make high net profits out of the crop than the men who have grown and harvested it in the sweat of their faces. For there is everything to in dicate thatcotton is going higher. The surplus from last year is much smaller than was expected and this years's crop is short, un doubtedly short shorter than the tforld now believes, because un sually early opening in all parts of the South has made ginning receipts heavy up to this time. Thus making it appear now that the crop is larger than it will be seen to be two months hence. Then cotton, we believe, will bound upward and the men who have bought and the men who have held will reap their re wards, We. believe therefore that farm ers ought now to hold cotton for higher prices, and that they ought to perfect local organiza tions of the Southern Cotton As sociation in every township in the South to aid m this work. The ringing letters of Mr. '. (J. Moore, of North Carolina, and Vice President Jenkins of Texas, picture the situation very accur ately, and their call for action ought to be heeded. It is verj true, too, as Mr. Moore points out, that this work will never, never be done if each man waits for his neighbor. Speak to one or two of your friends about the matter right away, send out word that there will be a meeting for your townsnip next baturday afternoon, and then make every effort to get every cotton grower to atteud. It has too often happened of ate years that the men who have made the crop have made only a a living, which the speculators toil not neither do they spin- have made the profits. In May of ast year after nine tenths of the 1903 crop had passed out of the armer s hands, the price was bred up to sixteen or seventeen cents This year, alter the farm ers had parted with the bulk of the 1904 crop at seven or eight cents, the speculators and mid dlemen made tiaeir millions on ten and eleven cent prices Let us resolve now that this time we shall not be content with mere living prices, but get some of the profats that the non-produ cers have been getting Or if you do not wish to hold all vour crop, distribute it over the year, selling part this fall part in the winter and the rest next spriDgand summer also to be held not "later than October 14th Every neighborhood must act, and you are the man to start the movement'm your neighborhood. Why not have a township meet ing next Saturday? GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT. Monument Contributions.

There are perhaps as manv men who would , worship and give thanks in 'a certain secret way, remove from the stare and opinions of a ques- ioning multitude. There was printed in the Asheville Citizen an editoiial with the above cap tion, and initis so muchof bright ness and the attuning to hopeful ness and faith that we are g'ad to publish it in its entirety. "The spactvcle of a hopeful-, nesoly paralyzed man, carried from a railroad train on the shoulders of a faithful old dar key, attracted our attention the other day. And a we looked we saw that this stricken creature was actually whistling? Wd list ened, and wehard not the strains of a dismal dirge, but the notes of a iopous and happy refrain- notes which piercedthe blue vault of Heaven and ascended clear to the throne of the Almighty to Drais9 Him and thank Him for the fact that the whistle, crippl ed and maimed as he was, still had life and one faithful old riend. Yes, he was whistling! And as we gazed in wander that human being so afflicted could vet be filltd with the spirit of an mpenshab e hope, we saw hat the whistler was young, and in its ay, are the ravages of pain and disease and wrought destsuction it had been hands ;me. The arms which dangled from the shoulders of the negro were drawn and crippled, and so were his legs. Audyet he was whistling: tie was proclaiming to the pessimist and the harper that he had no cause to fly in the face of his Creator, and ask why ht was thus scourg ed; he was, in spite of his afflic tion, announcing to the world that somewhere the sun shining for HIM. he was preaching the gospel of cheerfulness, buoyed up by the hope that it would in deed be "better further on., Thi3 whistling cripple was tell ing all mankind that although he had felt the chastening rod which God in mercy strines with but to heal, he had no fault to tind, no oomplaint to make. "It was well that thoe who witnessed this marvelous courage went on their way with a firm resolve o hereafter go throngh life with a song and hallelujah; to pierce tho blackest clouds of gloom with the light ot hope which should shine from every man's eyes ,, $463 03 25.00, 5.00 2.50 2.50 2.00 1.00 10.00 Total, $511 03.

No Decided Change in Cotton Condi tionsBoll Weevils in Texas. Washington, Oct. 3 The weekly crop report is9ued by the weather bureau today says: As a whole the reports indi cate qo decided change in the condition of couon, as compared ith the previous week, a slight improvement being snown in northern Alabama and in por tions of Texas, while in other sections of the latter state there has baen a slight deterioration The crop has suffered from tne ravages of insects in Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, boll wee vils being numerous in the last named state. Rains caused sr.gbt damage in Georgia, Alabama, south-western Mississippi and Louisiana and seriously injured the crop in Florida With the exception of heavy rains in Louisiana, southern Mississippi and Florida and showers in por tions of Alabama and Georgia, the weather conditions have been favorable for picking. In the Carolinas, Georgia. Florida and Alabama it is estimated that from 60 to 75 per cent, of tho crop has been gathered, in Tex as from 65 to 60 per cent, in Mississippi, Louisiana and Ok GRACIOUS REVIVAL SERVICES. Rev. R. M. Courtney Preaching Strong Gospel Sermons in the Meeting Here. The- revival services in the Shelby Methodist church for the past ten days have been largely attended, and much interest has been manifested. The Christian people of the town have been greatly revived and strengthened, and there have been several con versions. Rev. R M. Courtney, of Lincolnton, has been assist ing Pastor Hermon and his strong gospel sermons, clearly and lucidly presenting the plan of salvation and the benefits of the atonement, have made a profound impression upon all who have heard him. He is an earnest, consecrated minister, and an exception lly fine talker and deep thinker. Pastor Parish called in his regular service for Sunday night and all worshipped with the Methodist congregation, and the church was filled to overflowing, and the S9rvice was delightful. At the morning service the ac complished Miss Lucy Flowers rendered an entrancingly beau tiful solo with all the skill of the artist hat she is.

A Letter From Texas. to 33 The Associational School. Mis3 Daisey R. Hoyle, the 11 year-old daughter of Mr. W. D. Hoyle, of Polkville, picked 221 pounds cotton one day last week, and she stopped one hour ff7r d'"" Sha .tPftiyk Ma pounds and is as industrious at other work as she is picking cH 'ton. . And while speaking of holding cottou, the suggestion made by J. F. Womble strikes us as being one of the wisest that has been brought out in this entire cotton controversy. If you can do so hold your cot ton in the seed. We believe that this will help immensely. In fact the most serious in depressing price during the next sixty days is likely to be the publico! heavy ginning receipts, due to the phe nonmenally early opening of the crop. These statistics, the bear will use in an effort to shew that the crop is a big one If you can hold your cotton, hold it in the seed, and keep down ginning re c jipts. "This," says Dr. II. F. Free man, "is the greatest opportunity since the war of thefarmertoget the top price for his cotton." And it rests wnn the larmer himself as to whether he will im prove this opportunity or calmly surrender it to the speculators and cotton buyers. If the farmeus are to succeed fully they must stand together, tbey have, the enthusiasm that comes from contact with one another and united effort for a common end. . In everv townihip in the South therefori! tht! "rowershould meet at once to study the situation, cou fer to gether, and map out a plnn of action.

This is the largest irrigation scheme in the world, and has been settled ess than twelve months. In this entire tract, there is z 0,000 acres, and when this last tract is opened up, there will not ba less than 500,000 acres. ""Just east of this land is the Mmidaka ditch, which has not been turned in water yet, but will be in the spring. This ditch covers 130,000 acres. "The land thus irrigated, pro duces 30 to 40 bushels of corn to the acre, will grow sorghum cane, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay, aifalpha, fruits and veget ables."
