TDE CoTroN CRoP OF 1904 cor
respondent writes to the Macon (Ga.)
Telegraph as follows, concerning the
growing cotton crop:
l noticed an article in your paper u
lew daSsIago upon tho cotton, crop, aud
i"call ugscst few more ideas on the
same subjcct.J
you will refer back to our auLhori-
ties, you will find that cold spring has
been invariably followed by large cot
ton crop. In 1841, 1855, and 1859,
three Of our most productive cotton
years, the springs were cold and late.
There is no advantage in planting cot
ton before the fisrt week of May, and if
planted before, it is an advantage to have
it kept back by the frost, for it then
gains strength and bears more fruitfully,
instead OF running up into weeds, as it
will do if the weather is warm at first.
=, Phc accounts from Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana aud Mississippi ara very fine,
and represent the crops as most flourish
ing. Those sections were injured by
overflows of the rivers, but the crops
have since recovered, aud are now as
torword as they usually are at this time.
We know that the prospects in the
Southeastern States are very promising.
There can be no doubt that fully one.
quarter more land has been planted in
cotton than last year, that more fertiii-
zcrs were used, and that the negroes are
working better and more of them are ut
work.
The opinion which some entertain,
that more cotton can he raised than can
be picked, is unreasonable, for no man
will lcave any in his fields as long as it
is worth over twenty conts per pound.
We can raise 5000, 900 bales, aud GER
tainly pick that quantity also, and if the
present favorable weather continues, it
will be done this year.

EMlGRANrs WANTED TO LIBERIA

The Rev. Alex. Crummell, colorcd
minister of the Episcopal Church, and a
graduate of Cambridge, England, in n
letter dated at Millsbcrry, Liberia, No
vcmber, 1868, says: The anxiety of the
natives for schooling cannot be exagge-
rated. All through the country they are
asking for schools If we had the means
we could establish hundred schools
among the natives within month" In
this connection an appeal is made to
Christian colored families in the United
States to go out under the auspices of
the American Colonization Society and
give their force to the regeneration Of
the race on the west coast of Africa.
The American Colonization Society, it is
stated, is now making an effort to get
fifteen or twenty families of intelligence
and piety to sail in their ship, the "Gol-
conda," the 1st of November next, to
occupy an important place ON missionary
ground. The call for such help, it is
said, is urgent. The society will pay
the expenses of emigrants from their
present homes to tho place OF sailing,
will give them a free passage to Liberia
and six months support there, with ten
acres of land to each single man and %
acres to each family. The officers of the
society may be consulted at the Coloni-
cation Rooms, Washington, d. G,

The way to get along in the world is
to make every step one that is ahead,
and each to follow its predecessor. Full
fifty per cent of the effort of the world
is absolutely wasted in iudireet, diffuse,
indefinite labors. Young men start out
in life without purpose or point, casting
a thought neither on their fitness nor un-
fitness for particular calling now do
ing this thing, then that, and aiter that
nothing one day going ON, another on
the right (Which is wropg) or left, the
next backward, and then not going at
all, which is perhaps as the whole, CON-
bined. The right line in life is the
2=s which leads straight ahead. This
almost always secures success. There is
an ex-scavenger in Boston who drives
his span on the Brighton road after
moons, gathers his dividends on State
street forenoons, and lives in SWELL
front palace at South End. He did not
disdain an unsayory calling, pushed and
made it pay, and remained on the pine
seat until he could afford to lift himself
over to hair and plush. Step early, step
often, but above all, step right ahead.

What it Costs to Print a News
''c 'a paper. '<bltabN

VaDer. - #A ~ .t
Ea.H i.oii - - id. H. tsd.ags (
Persons who object to the advertising
rates ina largely circulated newspaper
never stop to calculate what it costs the
printer to put their business into his
columns and spread it before the public.
If they did they would be covered with
shame and confusion, and instead of de-
nouncing the publisher as exhorbitaut in
his charges, freely confess that, in some
instances, they get far more than the
worth of their money. We submit the
following figures to show what one col
umn costs us in our paper; basing our
calculation on the price of printing pa
per, type-setting, press-work and ink.
leaving the wear and tear of our type
and machinery entirely out of the ques-
ton:
We print in the first place 5000 copies
weekly, which requires CT realms Of pa
per. That paper weighs so lbs. to the
roam, and is now worth ii cents n
pound.
Our weekly expense for paper is there
fore $4S 75. There are 15 columns on
one side of our paper-all that We can,
under any circumstances, appropriate to
advertising purposes, and if VIC divide
this into the total cost, it would make
the yearly expense to us for printing pa
per, for each column, $l2G 33. Allow
us twenty per cent profit OH the paper,
for each column, and We have S25 &c.
Add the usual rates charged by printers
for type.setting and press work, and we
have: 5000 ems in column at one dol
lar per thousand, renewed quarterly
S24. Press-work, s3 per 1000, divided
by Is columns weekly, so cents. Press
work at 30 cents per column weekly for
so weeks, s26. Printing ink, 50, max
ing the total value of l column in our
paper year, $303 SO. ,y
We have,heen advertising by the col,
umn. half column and quarter column at
rptv5- vvusi,i-=rutJiy y ivss rtruu rircsc, and
the intelligent reader will at once sec
that VIC have been but poorly paid for
our labor. When we further consider
the expense We are put to in keeping up
repairs of all kinds in the Office, and pur-
chasing new type when the old is worn
out, We have not the rcmuncrative profit
we should have in consideration of the
advantage those derive who advertise in
our columns
The fact is that newspapers, as a gen
eral thing, do not pay. The subscrip-
tion money an | what is taken in for ad
vertiscmcnts very often falls short of the
actual expenses of the printing Office. Iu
such cases the parties are obliged to fall
back upon the job work to meet their
current expenses, and as that business
can be carried on just as probably with
out the paper, the latter must be looked
upon in the majority of instances, as an
accommodation mercly--a sort of an in
tellectual appcndage which is thrown out
of the Office sratuitously, and for the
specific benefit of the community at
large. If grumblers and fault-fudcrs
had their own way, the more papers n
publisher would circulate from his office,
weekly, the greater tho danger he would
be in of impoverishing himself and his
family, while the reverse should be the
fact in business point of view Iorh.
