three millions would excel those o.

cost of the odd two millions of bales
Not only would the five millions
cost more in the aggregate, but the
actual cost of production per pound
would be created.
For to make the odd two millions
we must call into requisition much
poor land, scarcely paying for cullva-
tion: Again, the character of the
cultivation would be poorer. Much
extra labor would have to be paid for
IN hoelng and picking, the picking
would be protracted and gin an infe-
rlor quality. We would also have
extra ginning, bagging, rope, freight,
commissions, and other market cx.
penses, aud with this policy pursued
more than one year, usury on the
means of production. To all this we
must add the cost of the supplies we
might have made, and we see that the
hardest of work and of anxiety enter
IN with the enhanced cost. More
land, more work, more care, enter into
each added pound. after We pass the

What Came of Il FOx-Ch aSe.

OoWu ln Williamson county
Tenn. tragical feud has Just growr
out of a fox-chase. In January par
ty OF hunters captured two foxe.
alive, and the question of the righ
of possession got into the magistrate ;.
court, and subsequently into the Unit
ed States Court, on account of alleged
intimidation of negro witnesses. The
feeling between the prosecution and
defense grew very bitter, and as each
side had many friends, nearly all the
people living in the immediate section
became interested in the affair, one
way or the other.
The principals, however, went a.
bout armed to the teeth, with their
weapons ready primed aud swinging
within easy reach. The poor foxes,
however, innocent of the mischief
they were making, were all this time
languishlng in the custody of the
High Sheriff. Wednesday night last
Robert Wilson, who was the leader
upon the side Of the plaintiffs, while
riding along the road, was fired upon
from covered vehicle, and instantly
killed. A companion at the time was
dangerously wounded. This bloody
deed will proJaly quash the suit,
while at the same moment it brings
about murder trial.
The fatal issue of the quarrel is ap
paliing; the origin, trivial. Well
bath the Apostle said: "Behold. what
q great matter little fire kindletb ~
TO say Reynard was to blame would
be unjust. To infer that fox-chaslng
is wrong, and that the sportsman
should shoot bis hounds and throw
the gun into the river, would be a
lame and impotent conclusion. We
are sure that the entire party went
out upon the hunt merely for the
sport of the thing, and are positive
that when they all buckled saddle.
g'rths at the meeting frolic was the
intention uppermost in the minds of
ell.
How slight a step it is from fun to
funeral! Therefore we are con.
strained to observe that if foxes do
ourrow in ones neighborbood, if
chasing them must be INDUCED in,
then let each and every bunier, be-
fore be starts upon the trail, paste a I
copy Of the golden rule in bis hat and
VOW to abide by it. Then, should
