During the passage the little squadron was by the enemy, and Hart, as soon as they were reported, called his little sou to him and gave him instructions. The pursuit continued for eight hours, and at the end of that time the enemy was no longer in sight. Then Dart went down into the cabin, where the prince had been sitting in ignorance of the day's excitement. had a narrow escape, said he. do you asked the prince. answered Bart, we've been chased by three eight- gun ships and nine frigates.

The fact that had been stolen or damaged was made known by means of curses, inscribed sheets of lead, which were affixed to the statues of infernal deities in the temple, the vengeance of the gods being thus invoked upon the who had stolen or injured the goods. A rider was usually added, to the effect that should the property be returned, or recompense be paid, the owner would intercede with the gods for a remission of the punishment. The Romans also made use of the town crier to proclaim laws, or sales, and the walls of the streets were covered with notices painted in black or red or inscribed upon and let into the pillars on either side of houses and shops.

The leaders of the National and I Cotton Growers Association in their efforts to sustain the farmers y in holding their cotton for higher prices, or rather for fifteen cents, lose sight of a most important tor, which plays a leading part, if cotton is to be sustained and sold at any minimum price in the future. This the future cotton sell- of cotton farmers. Since cotton has reached ten cents and above, the price has been one which has satisfied the majority of farmers, specially those who have struggled in years past, and raised cotton to be sold around six cents. Therefore cotton selling at ten cents in the winter months, or even this figure, a good many farmers have been willing to enter into the sale of their prospect- cotton crop at prices about the same as might be prevailing during the winter months, so that cotton , buyers in seine sections practically controlled the entire acreage for the season. There is no question but that in the past two years, many farmers have done well by thus selling their future crop of cotton, for when they were prepared to market their cot- ton, the then prevailing market price was in some instances one to k two cents lower than the price at which they had contracted to sell d at they were delivering heir staple. This baa given the farmer a new position, in the crop selling, and when cotton has reached eleven cents, it has not hard for cotton buyers to make for the next cotton crop. Two things result from this. The grower who thus sells is out f the market, so far as being able CO operate with as- for his output belongs to someone besides himself, and it must also follow that having con- his crop at some fixed price, the farmer going to put in so great an acreage as possible, and this again removes him from enter- any movement that the association may try to make up for a reduced acreage. Thus it is that this future crop of cotton by the farmer, must prove a sci handicap to those who may try to have any minimum price, or who seek to have a movement of the. farmers to reduce their acreage. Whether this future crop selling is a wise thing the individual farmer to do, another question. it is only as to its effect on the association that is now Bern Journal. lot on Dickinson avenue west of railroad.
