: Bacchus Allen, a colo-e6 man near
Abbeville village, without mule or OK,
rented eight acres of land, which ne
planted in cotton. Upon this crop he
got a Sl2 lien. Some Of the best
farmers 10 the neigbborhood now esti.
mate his crop at three bolls to the
acre. These are facts. We learn
that a farmer in this county planted
one hundred acres Of his own land IN
cotton, under which be put six tons Of
guano, for which he paid S240 cash.
About $1,000 of his own mo0ey has
been expended 10 the cultivation of
the land. He law proposes to pick,
gin, ard deliver his whole crop for
seven oales. The difference between
the country farme, and Bacchus is:
Baccbus made sl2, less tweuty'four
bolls. while the farmer lost 81 coo,
less seven bales cotton, plus $40 paid
for guaDo. These facts 60 TO show

The Presidents doctors have
been severely criticised fer the
manner in which they have treated
the case. Much OF the criticism
has been from people who do not
know what they are talking about.

President had been an ordinary
man he would have been we'll by
this time; thai the doctors were
overwhelmed with the responsible
