C0YToN SEED.



1t is questionable among cotton plan
tors whether it is economical III the end
to sell their seed TO the oil mills, and
there are many planters who have per-
sistentiy refused to sell pound. AS
fertilizer its value is SO well known
that these prefer to return the ovorplus
to the ground. Hence the combination
that has been recently entered into
among cotton seed erushers along the
Mississippi to fix the price of seed at
$ll is being met by The planters IN q
spirit of determined opposition. They
claim that the seed is worth at least A15
and that the supply is not so large as to
warrant fixed lowered price at..--this
time. The consumption of cotton seed
is increasing with great rapidity; so
great that it is thought the Crushers
have calculated without dao cousidera-
ton Of the law Of supply and demand
Tho growers refusing to sell at any
fixed price determined by the crushers
alone. In this connection meeting Of
the former was held at Brunswick Point
Warren County, Miss, recently, to
sake action in this regard. AZ this
meeting it was decided and agreed not
10 sell cotton seed under q compulsory
price, and to store the seed or use It as
a fertilizer until better terms could be
agreed upon, OF to sell only to those
mills that are not party to the combi-
nation, which it seems extends from
New Osleaus 10 st. Louis. One Of the
concluding resolutions adopted at this
meeting referred to prevailing senti-
meut ii plain terms. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That in conclusion we wish
10 give notice to combinations OF eYery
description, whether cotton seed or
otherwise, that we are no longer slaves.
that we are free men, aud perfectly
able to take care of ourselves; can sell
our products to whom we please, and
for fair price, and we do not propose
that the prices for the same shall be
fixed by any combination which plain
y shows itself iniulical to our vital
interests.

IT is possibly true, fellow citizens, that I
was in the calaboose, but tell you, before
God, have no recollection of it. I got
poisoned, and for ten hours I did not know
anything under the sun, and it may be that
some of the rasoals who poisoned me put
me Ia the calaboOse while 1 was unconscious.
I would have made this poisoning business
public long since, but 1 had detectives after
the murderous villains who attempted to
take my life, and feared that if L made it
public, the assassins would escape. They
slipped into my room and put poison in my
water glass, and upon taking it L became

In the absence of Capt. J. NJ. Sturges,
whom L am sorry to report on the sick list,
Gen Gustayus Guenther was called to the

ment is paying about 500 a day to help
the general fix up" Roane County for

old soldiers (may their shadows never grow
less) 'sbearded the lions in their den" and
beat them at every turn.
After the convention adjourned the gen.
eral and his adjutant retired to their respec-
tive rooms, and, tits said, gave themselves
up to their solemn reflections.
Had Guenther taken Alleys advice and
kept his mouth shut, he would not have
placed the Republican party in this county
under the necessity of defending repudia-
ton during the remainder of this trying
campaign.
When Coffman left town this evening his
face looked three inches longer than the
morning after the Democrats ''sat down on
him" in the senatorial convention at Wart-
burg two years ago. We expect to see him
in the Democratic camps again as soon as
Houk can no longer forge a collar to fit him.
