The subjDined extract from Letter written
from Naschez. on the 18th January. has
been kindly furnished Us by gentleman ir
this place who feels deep interest IN the
promotion ofthe welfare of the citizens OF

us with communications on this. as we'll as
other subjects of importance.
There is considerable stir here about
sheep. as our hill planters are satisfied that
they must do something besides raising cot>
ton. Barrier Chauel & Co, have imported
some saxony sheep which am trying to sell
for them, and | should be glad to get orders
from your country. They agree to deliver

will seon reduce III il has moi already done -,
10 the same depressed condition of its rival sta
pie. Thus itappears manifest to your commit
tee. that over production is the Of the pres
ent low price Of Cotton. The surplus left on
hand at the close of 1913 exceeded one million
bales The surplus OF 1914 will be still larger.
And thus il will be seen, that we shall soon have
an average crop of one year ahead of US. And
your committee seeno remedy for the evil, but
general determination throughout the colton
region TO plant smaller crops in future, and raise
more oflhose articles, for which we now pay a
heavy tax TO our neighborS. Should any object
10 this course, on the ground that our profits
would be diminished in .he same proportion as
the crop is lessened, proofs at hand fIom the
official reports of The treasury to rebut that idea
In 1885 the crops Of cotton amounted to 3S9, $50 :
O09 lbs the money value of which was S67. So
983. The crop oflSf3 amounted TO 81 =, ,253, ,445
the value OF which was S53 S55, ,2lS Showing
an excess of the last named year of 429, ,S94, ,43S
los over and above the first, and difference Of
$I3, ,964, 745 in value in favor of the first year
In $50 the crop amo united to 444, ,2lI, ,537 lbs,
its money value was, S73. SAC, ,662 exceeding in
value the crop of lS43 about $40 00C 900, Sup
pose then that each planter should reduce his
crop of cotton this year 10 five acres TO each
hand he amount raised would almost certainly
equal that OF 1886. And though We should mo-
look forward 10 the high prices of that year, yet
reasoning from the past, we might certainly cal
culate upon realsing as much money, as from
full crop. But should we make less money, the
saving of labor and Of land, and our increased a
bilty to raise those articles among ourselves, for
which We are now dependent our
neighbors, would amply compensate u>
for any loss we might sustain thereby. Your
committee would therefore propose the follow
ing resolutiors 10 this meeting.
Resozred, Ist That we recommend a coLven-
ton ofthe planters otihis State. to be held the
City of Jackson on the 25th day OF Feb next, to
take into consideration the present condition, and
fufur re prospects OF the cotton crop. And thai
the following gentleman, Judge A. NJ. Clayton,
Judge f. w Huling, Mr. Ben Williams and
Mr. w Lumpkin, be appointed to represent this
County therein.
On motion of Col. Benz. Williams, the Chair
was added 10 the Committee.
2nd Resolred, That we earnestly recommend,
that meetings should be held in ali the Counties
OF The State, and delegates sent thefefrom TO said
