.Davis Declares He Would Pardon Any
Farmers Convicted of Combining
To-Raise Cotton Prices
Danville, April 15. Governor
Davis spoke here today in the in
terest or the Southern Cotton As
sociation to a large gathering of
farmers and business men. Me
said in part: “Believe your broth
er when he says he will reduce the
acreage; then go and do likewise;
diversify, organize; make the buy
er run after you to buy your cot
ton instead ot you running after
him. ”
The governor advised his hear
ers to keep out of polities; that
politics would ruin anything. He
said it was a 11 bosh about the Cot
ton Association coming under the
provisions of the anti trust law;
that if it did. he would pardon all
the farmers convicted of combin
ing to raise cotton prices. Me
said there was such a thing as to
legislate for prosperity. Me was
in farnr of makimr if a felonv to
run bucket shops. 11c told the
farmers that they had a hard tight,
that their light was against the
soulless corporations, but for them
to keep it up.
The governor was cheered
throughout his talk, and wound
up by saying he would have to
quit or go to talking polities, and
that would not do.

THE AVERAGE GIRL.
The average gill of the present

nonsense. She appeareth on the
street clad in much raiment, and
iiunteth up a beau at whose ox
4* n-e she* drinketh soda water un
til the setting of the1 sun. She
cheweth her yum in the morning,
and when evening approaches, lo.
she is still chewing. I'he getteth
the notion into her head that she
can sing and she warbleth until
her father beeometh an habitual
drinker, and the neighborhood
gets out an injunction. She goeth
forth to a party gowned in a dress
that is too short at the top and too
long at the bottom, and gigleth
until the night waxen old. Shi
lieth in the bed in the morning un
til the eleventh hour while hei
mother humps around and doeth
the housework. She sigheth for f
