County Newspapers.

The following is what the Cinein.
natl Trade List thinks of those char
acters who complain of their county
papers. and, instead of helping to sup
port it, send on for large city paper
and thus help to sustain them:
ga gentleman writes us that his
county .paper is so poor that he has
stopped it; therefore sends us three
dollars for the Trade List. We repeat
that we do not want subscribers on
these terms. A mans county paper
Is worth the world, or if it is not it is
his fault. If the county paper is
properly encouraged, it may be relied
upon for information of more value to
the people in whose interest it is issu-
ed than can he found in all city pa
perS in the United States. No man
can afford to be without the paper
that publishes the official advertise
ments of his county, the public sales.
markets, court news, and other local
intelligence. If the paper is poor, the
people are more at fault than the pub
fishers for not giving it a liberal Pat>
ronage. However poor the county
paper may be, it is always worth
more than it costs TO those interested
in the affairs of the county.

These wise and timely words from

1t should be pointed out with con.
tinual earnestness, says Ruskin, that
the essence of lying is in deception,
net in words. A lie may be told by
silence, by equivocation, by the &C.
cent on syllable, By a glance of the
eye attaching peculiar significance
tossa sentence, and all these kinds of
lies are worse and bsser by Many de-
grees than lie plainly wOrded; SO that
no form OF blinded conscience lie so far
sank as that which comforts itself as
to having deceived, because the decep-
ton wss by gesture and silence instead
of utterance; and, inally, according to
Tennyson's trenchant line, "a lie
which is a half truth is ever the worst
of lies"

Cost of Raising and Picking
Cotton.
Now York Cotton.

Some of the Southern papers have
expressed surprise at the estimate
made by a correspondent of Brad
streets, that it costs $40, ,OOO,OC to
pick the cotton crop; but, as that es-
innate is made on the basis of so cents
per 100 pounds for picking, and as
fully 80 cents is the prevailing rate i'll
Texas, whileas high as S1.25 has been
paid this year, it is probable that $780,
10000 would better represent the
cost Of picking out the cotton
crop of the United States. OF this
amount probably S3O,0OO,OOO is paid
to colored men.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin
publishes an interesting table, showing
the cost of producing cotton crop,
which was prepared by Mr.. w. 5.
Covell, the figures referring to his
Palmyra plantation i'll Warren coun-
ty, Miss, and the season being that OF
l879I80. In the expenses is includ-
ed rent of land at $3.50 an acre, but
no account is taken of seed. No fer
tlizers we're used. The aggregate
Weld on 250 acres was 2Sl bales,
weighing 12S,SO0 pounds, and the
cost per pound was 6 1920 cents,
while the cotton sold for 81 cents net.
Of course the season of 1890 was
an exceptionally favorable one, and
it would hardly be fair to calculate up-
on a steady increase Of acreage from
year to year, based upon these figures
alone.

Edward Atkinson at Atlanta.
Atlanta Consultation.


The Senate Chamber was cornforta-
bly, filed yesterday morning with ma
ny of our leading citizens to hear the
address of Mr. Edward Atkinson On
cotton and the cotton exposition.
Mr. Atkinson addressed tie meeting
in a speech of eloquence and power,
frequently being interrupted by ap~
plause. he portrayed the progress
made in cotton since 1910, and the
multifSrm uses of it in strong colors.
He exhibited specimens of fabrics
manufactured in Japan and China
and demonstrated that the South had
halt the world to supply with cotton
vet. The present needs Of the world
required Y, ,0O0, 900 bales. The DOW
er Of the cotton plant arose from the
fact thet few were enabled to con-
t,ibute to the comfort of the many.
Great comfort could be made il re-
ducing cotton, and IN preparing and
handling it for market. The bale Of
the future would weigh forty pounds
to the square inch. There are nine>
teen million acres in corn and cotton
in six of the Southern States in which
the crop might be doubled with half
the acreage. Sheep could be winter
Ell hera at 10 tc Is cents per head.
By engaging in sheep husbandry we
could double our cotton crop and get
the wool clip for nothing. There
were enterprises more profitable at
the South than cotton mills, requiring
less capital. The whole country was
interested in the subject of cotton.

ture would abolish all sectional feel
