Not a Good Law The Merchants Journal, of is of the opinion that two- thirds of the merchants of the South would be forced to retire from if the proposed Parcels Post law should be enacted by Congress. We do not know, of course, whether it would be as bad as it would work serious harm to the home dealers who are entitled to every protection that generous laws can afford. The scheme is simply intended to build up the department stores and mail order houses of the Bast by putting into effect a postage rate much cheaper than anything enjoyed to day. The big deficit in the Department is enough that the government cannot order the change, and yet there is a powerful influence and a powerful lobby at work in the interest of the cause It would divert trade from Southern business houses in d it would build up the trade of establishments in New York and other cities by depriving our merchants of that which rightly and logically belongs to them. misguided people in North Carolina are advocating it. They believe that it will help the public as a whole and possibly it may, hut it them at the expense of our merchants without whom we could not secure the necessities of every day life. of these says the Journal, the mercantile life of the country and should be given careful and serious consideration by the business men and commercial What is more, our representatives in Congress should feel the pulse at home before using their influence to support a bill which will hurt the people whom they were elected to serve.

Solution of the Prob- I Cent Cotton. The Cotton Growers of the South through and with the assistance of their organization, The Southern Cotton Association, are slowly but surely winning the greatest battle ever known to the world. They are being applauded by mill- ions of people are watching great tight that is being successfully waged by to throw off the yoke of thieving and speculative manipulation that has held them so long, and has been the means of enabling the spinners to grow wealthy at the expense of the poor farmer. Those who stood loyal to the As- and accepted its advice, as given last January, to fix a price of per pound on their it and get so, standing there were thousands decried their efforts by foolish, The amount of cotton held by the loyal ones was sufficient to bring the price ti before the present crop was ready for market. On September 7th. the Association advised the farmers to ask for their cotton as conditions fully war ranted that price Many fixed that and sold for it. Now, on December 1st, the fact the crop is very short has been established beyond shadow of a doubt, and only a small remnant of that unsold; also, that the mar- are hare of dry goods with future prices enormously advanced, cotton mills loaded down with con- tracts orders for goods several months ahead, and only with about one half enough cotton in sight to till them. Will they pay for cotton Why, of course, they will if you ask if If you do not they will lake it at as they have done in the past. Decide for let them have it at its actual value, or let them take it at their price, doc, it is as you please, but remember that if you sell for less than its value you are not only injuring yourself, but every other owner of cotton is being denied his price while you are giving yours away, which prevents the advance as long as they can get it at less than its value. Hundreds of thousands of bales are being pledged to the Southern Cotton Association for enough to forte the price to its value very s on; unless buyers can continue to bpi yours that is not pledged at their price, in its value until yours has been taken out of the way and at their the loyal ones will again reap the of their Association's hard work in their be- half.
