SITUATION SERIOUS
Wall Street Brokers Predict That
Cotton Crop Will be Shorter
Than Bureau Eestimate.
The Journal is in receipt of the
following communication from
Daniel J. Sully & Co., brokers, of
Wall street, New York, on the
cotton situation which may prove
of interest to our readers.
“Believing that the conditions
”'.e present cotton year are
precedent in history;—
•< nlity in seed, late planting,
•sive moisture, unusual per
iods of drough, extremes of heat
and cold, early and killing frosts,
have curtailed the productiveness
of the cotton plant; that all theo
ries of the past, with regard to
probable growth, commercial crop
supply and demand are practically
valueless, %ve beg to express the
unqualified opinion, deduced from
facts, which we believe to be in
disputable, embracing, notably,
complete exhaustion of American
cotton, and unusual encroachment
upon manufactured reserves, at
the beginning of the season, fol
lowed by the shortest, growing,
picking, ginning, and marketing
seasoft on record; that the total
number of bales of cotton which
will be available tor all purposes,
from September 1st, to August
illst, 11*04, will not exceed 9.986,
< >00 of 500 pounds each; that each
and every t>ale will be absorbed,
regardless of price and that the
requirements of the spinning world
will remain far from being satis
fied. ere relief is found in an oth
er crop.”

The Lack of Knowledge
It is humiliating to think o'
number of boys on farms in all i
parts of the country who have
never thought that a knowledge of
scientific farming would benefit
them in the least. 'They vainly
imagine that having been born on
a farm, and learned how to harn- ]
ess horses and hitch them to a
plow or wagon, and haul and plow
like other people, that they nat
urally know how to farm. There
is no one so ignorant as he who is
ignorant of his ignorance.—Texas

about on crutches and suffering a

try Ballard’s Snow Liniment,

PRESS OF AMERICA
To its Freedom, and Free Schools
We Owe Our Greatness, is the
Opinion of an Englishman
Alfred Mosely is an Englishman
who has been making a careful in
vestigation in the United States
with a view to determining the
reasons for America's greatness
and her commercial, educational
and mechanical supremacy. What
do you suppose he reported to his
fellow countrymen! Not, as
Carlyle did, that our physical re
sources were the cause of our suc
cess; not, as De Witte decided,
that our many zones of temperate
climate were to be credited with
our amazing progress, but simply
that two things—the free press of
America and the free public schools
—were the causes of our emi
nence.
“The free press of America,”
says Mr. Mosely, “makes the peo
ple long for education for them
selves and their children, and the
free schools satisfy that longing,
and more.”
The free press of America sets
the people thinking and supple
ments the knowledge they gain in
the free schools. The free press of
America does not always meet
with the ardent approval of those
Americans who would like to raise
up class distinctions, because it
shows the egregious folly of a bo
gus aristocracy. But the f * press
or America counts' ror more than
I half, in the opinion of Mr. Mosely,
in that which makes for American
supremacy.
The free press of this country
not only enlightens the people a
uOut the ftuiiii’.S of tuwir govern
ment, but also helps them to man
age to the best advantage the af
fairs of their own lives.
The boys and girls of America
read the newspapers. They read
about astronomy, electricity, mun
i icipal government, army manage
ment, shipbuilding, trusts, crops,
diseases, scientific discoveries, pol
