One-fourth of the entire cotton crop,
or 3,OOO,boT"baTes, have been consum-
ed in making gun-cotton during the
last year. If the war continues the
nations at strife will have to draw
their supply of cotton for this pur-
pose from American sources if drawn
at all and that fact will operate to
maintain the price at high levels. Even
though peace is restored soon the
world will clamor for our cotton and
the staple under those conditions will
command a fair price. The moral
that should impress itself upon the
minds of the American cotton planter
is: Plant plenty of cotton. A six-
teen million bale crop can lie easily
disposed of.

the office against opposition. Posi- j
tively it is the first time for him to
go up against real live politicans.
Whether or not his coming into the

be seen, but that he will have the
hardest campaign of his life is a fore-
gone conclusion. Colquitt and Camp-

withdrawal of Henry or Brooks, or
both, would not detract materially
from the interest. Mr. Culberson has
always been regarded as a strong
man. He has never mixed o.r inter-
fered with any of the State’s local or
factional fights and, therefore, will
not have any explaining to do or any
charges to face. He has never really
acted as umpire or referee for any
branch or branches of the politics of
the State, hence his slate is clear
