Timely Advice to Cotton Planters.

In reproducing from the Vicksburg
Herald the following good humored ad-
vice to cotton planters, we do so with the
the full consciousness that the farmers
know better than any one DOW to regulate
their crops, and that they will act judi
ciously and prudently in so important
matter yet a hint may be taken from
the Herald's advice, though satirically
conveyed:
The season of the year has arrived
when the press takes charge of the agrl-
cultural interest. Spring is here and the
weather is delightful; the editors can,
therefore, take hand. When Summer
comes it brings heat and long matter'of-
fact days that try the Grangers' souls.
That is the time when the editors delight
to not interfere in planting operations.
The Herald has never doubted for an
instant its ability to regulate planting
affairs in this country better than they
now are, if it could have its advice fol-
lowed. We 60 with the planters and do
not advise them to diversity their crops,
raise their meat, corn, fruit, poultry,
horses and cattle. We are rather disap-
pointed at the small crop of cotton pro-
duced in 1880, and if the valuable time
of the planters is to be taken up in rails
ing sheep, cattle, hogs, corn, peaches,
pears, ETC., there will be another failure
this year. There were only about g..
100000 bales last year, and there should
have been $4,000, 1000 bales; so it can be
seen we had only little over half crop.
If there had been a full crop, there
would have been whole year for rest. Let
us firmly resolve to raise full crop this
year-say thirteen million bales-then
we will have nothing to do next year but
to improve the country and discuss poll
tics. We can then give our attention to
raising food, supplies, horses, mules,
sheep, grain and fruit.
There is another reason why we should
make q big crop. By doing it We will
crush out competition in cotton raising
in other parts of the world. Foreign
countries can't stand more than one crop
of twelve or thirteen million bales of
American cotton. They will be forced
to give up the business and then we will
have everything our owr way.
There is another reason. 1t is agreed
all around that we are to encourage
better feeling toward the Yankees. II
we raise big crops of cotton and buy from
the Yankees everything they produce

the female constitution cannot sustain

and dilates upon the usefulness of the

to deal in the morals of its citizens
Let us pass to the second proposition.
II. "Such laso is violative Of the rights
ofproperty." My friend states this maxim :
"a man has right to do as he chooses
with his own" but with the reservation
that che shall not do augAt aoith it detrsmea-
cal to the common aoeal," but he lost sight
of the reservatory clause. This maxim
is as old as the law itself. But while q
man may use his property as he pleases,
he mast not please to use it so as to pre-
iudice the rights of others, or to the det-
riment of the common welfare, or so as
to corrupt the public morals: 1t is the
duty of man to do every thing for his
fellow man that is in his power without
too much injury to himself. The State
has the right to take the property of its
citizens when the good of the State re-
ouires it. Pursuant to this right they
take mans land, even against his aoiW,
to locate railroad, giving bim a just
compensation for it. 1t taxes the prop
erty of its citizens for public school pur-
poses, because it is to the interest Of the
State that its citizens be intelligent and
educated. Though a man has no chill:
dren to educate, yet his property is taxed
to educate the children of others. Is
this right?
The statute declares the rate of inter-
est to be seven per centun, per a1nsin' Is
this right? All of these laws have been
ventilated in the Supreme Court of this
State, and, might say, in nearly all OF
the States, and have been declared 1aa0,
and as such enforced by the executive
authority.
The Stats of Maine has tried Prohibi-
ton, and the courts of that State have
said it is law, and as such it has been en-
forced. And now to say the State has
not the right to prohibit the sale Of
liquor is to say the Legislature of Maine
has acted tyrannical2y in enacting such q
law, the courts erred in declaring it law,
and the executive authority committed q
wrong in enforcing it as law.
The Supreme Court of New York
says: "The Legislature hiss the power
to abrogate licenses" Thatis, they may
refuse 70 allow licenses, and thereby pro-
duce Prohibition. Village of Rome vs..
Knox, IA Howard's r. 277. The same
Court declares that prohibition is con-
stitutional, and that the Legislature is
the sole Judge of the necessity for such 8
law" The People VS.. QUAINT, II How
ards R., 88.
As I have stated, the State has the
right to pass any law that will accom-
plish the aims Of the government, or
that tends to the common real. So it
only remains for the people to say
whether Prohibition will aid in accom-
plishing the aim of civil government, or
tend to promote the common aoeak.

The average life of drunkard is S53
years, 90 years less than that of atem-
perate man. The loss to the material
wealth of State in the death of 100
drunkards is the value Of $500 years
work; and the aggregate number of
years work lost annually by premature
deaths caused by intemperauce is 1,lN,-
900. Tie average value Of q labering
mans work is $500 per year.. Multiply
1,1N,o00 by $500 and We have s563, $780,
OOO<as the ANIMAL loss to material wealth
from premature deaths ecaused ;bysintenl-
perance. The amount of capital annu-
ally employed to keep up lunatic asylums
and like institutions is $4,000, ,000.-
Now, idiocy is universally regarded as
an inherited weakness, but DR.. Carpen'
ter, an eminent psychologist, certi6es
that ont of 359 idiots, which have come
under his observation, only one-fourth
we're children of idiotic parents, while
80 were the children of absolute drunk
ards, the remainder beirg of doubtful
causes. DR.. Hitchcock, president of the
Michigan State Board of Health, tells
us that the number of idiots at present
in this country, who have been made
idiots by 3intemperance is $4,000, and
that the annual number produced in this
country by intemperance is 5000. Now,
is he not bold, indeed, who, in the face
of these facts, denies that the State has
the right to prohibit an evil which mill
tates so fatally against her material well
fare?
Would Prohibition tend.to happiness 2
If SO, the object Of government is to pro-
cure for its citizens happiness. Since
happiness cannot exist without morality,
the State has right to pass any law that
will tend to improve the morals Of its
citizens. For this purpose it has forbid
den its citizens to pursue their callings
on the Lords Day. It has declared its
subjects shall not have more than one
living wife apiece at the same time. 1t
has forbidden its men and women from
living together as man and wife without
being lawfully married. Why are these
statutes found upon our books7 Because
the evils they seek to remedy tend to
corrupt the public morals. And yet my
