Cotton Defhroned.

S~. LOUIS, Mo-, February H.-
Twenty leadins cotton factors of
this city, embracing the principal
officers of the Cotton Exchange.
publish an address to merchants,
farmers and tenants of the cotton
belt, in which they advise some
radical changes in the manner of
farming and doing business in the
South. The chief cause of the lack
of prosperity in the Southern States,
they say, are: First, the present
credit system, which forces planters
and tenants to pay extrayagant
prices for supplies and to rush their
crops to market in such quantities
as to break prices, oftentimes below
cost of production; and second,
the over-production of cotton. This
they think the keynote to the whole
situation, and they strongly urge
everybody interested in Southern
prosperity to discourage planting q
large acreage of cotton this year.
Food products, they say, are what
Southern planters most need, and
they advise, first of all, the raising of
grain, cattle and hogs, and give the
remainder of their time, if they
have any, to growing cotton. They
show that the present price of cot
ton is Is per cent. below the aver
age of the past five years, and that
corn is 33 and provisions so per
cent. above the average, thus caus-
ing the mere cotton.raiser to lose
largely in two ways. They contend
that decrease in the production Of
cotton and an increased product OF
bread, meat and other kinds Of food
will bring about a more prosperous
condition of the South, and they
ask merchants and planters to call
a convention and agitate the ques-
ton throughout the cotton belt.

Nost Hearty GOOD R1aster.

The Office of County Master is
not fast losing the unpopularity
with which it was introduced in
Newberry. Very many persons
have somewhere got the strange be-
lief that property which goes into
this Office in the form of an estate,
comes out in the shape of costs, to
make glad the heart of the lawyer
And it is not surprising that the
dissatisfaction always attending the
subject Of costs has extended to
this Office which the people are in
clined to look upon as machine
for the creation Of costs.
When we know that the people
are wrong, we shall not utter word
that is calculated to encourage their
displeasure, but whe we feel that
they are right, we propose to join
them and run down the game, if it
is worth the chase. We cannot see
that much would be gained by do
ing away with the Masters Office
and returning to referees courts;
but the popular feeling with regard
to costs is not altogether unreason-
able. The attorney gets FIVE dol
lars for every reference he attends,
and the costs are paid out of the
estate. In view of this truth, COM
mon right demands that there
should be as few references as may
be consistent with proper admin
istration Of justice. It seems to us
that the reins should be drawn
tight in the Masters court, and
the references should be fewer.
And in any event, no costs should
be allowed to the man who makes
an unsuccessful attempt to estab-
lish a claim against an estate. We
can plainly show The natural result
Of the practice to which we refer,
by an example. B. sharks up a
claim against an estate; he attends
six references, and makes a show Of
endeavoring to prove his claim. but
fails. When the adjustment of
costs is made he gets thirty dollars
out of the estate, for his impertin-
enee, for trying to establish an un-
just claim. That sounds uncom-
monty like fiction, but it is true.
It is not justice or reason; it is not
even law. It is simply a practice
and it should speedily be abolished.
It is hardly right, from any point of
view, to pay man five dollars a
day for insolence or impertinence.

ham & Co. are still ginning cotton; and
the fruit trees are in bloom. Cotton late or
trees soon? The seed potatoes of this section
are all rotten, bnt eggs and little chickens
and butter abound.
The Flint Hill School is doing well; Miss
Fannie C. Settler, teacher. Mr.. L. D. Gra-
ham and the Thomasons will put up a saw
mill this week on Mr. Andrew CTomer's place,
near his house. Mr.. John A. Cromer had to

On last Saturday night a compa-
nv of colored regulators raided a
house near Fort Mill, York County,
in which a white man and negro
woman and negro man and white
woman were living together, and
forced them to leave the country.
The white woman is said to be only
II or Is years of age and is really
pretty, while the negro with whom
she was living is as black as the ace
of spades, a very dirty and exceed
ingly repulsiye creature.
This is a sad commentary on the
civilization OF the white man. But
the negro regulators were right,
and just so soon as they see fit to
begin the work in Newberry, they
shall have our support.

A published statement shows that
the earnings Of the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad during the third
week in February, were s2o,2s3, an
increase of $4,949 over the earnings
of the corresponding week last year.
This Railroad has cut down wages
so as to force most of its employees
to leave, and it is otherwise econo-
mizing. The statement shows that
the road is making money in spite
of adverse legislation, and regard
less of the feelings and welfare of
its employees.

The student and tine College.

= =
The recent troubles at Adger
College suggest very plain truth
which is too often over looked, that
the students Of any educational in
stitution are one of it's most impor-
tant features. Indeed, experience
proves that it is exceedingly diff
cult for a college to prosper with
out students! It may do without
them ~ a while, just as the fool in
tie fable did without food, but it will
not repeat the experiment. The
consideration which students re-
ceiye from college officers is strange
II out of proportion to their impor-
tance. And we have no sympathy
for that system of training which
seeks to convert the student into a
machine, or with those college di-
rectors who ignore his feelings and
wishes when plans are forming for
the institution.
We know little and care nothing
about the merits of the quarrel at
Adger, but we do know that when
!
DR.. Mutually was elected president.
the students draped the college
building in morning, and sang lus-
lily about the town, eHang old
Mullally on a sweet potato vine r
This was in the last degree unbecom-
ing, to be sure, but it was merely a
prologue to the trouble coming on,
for the man who goes into a acollege
under q, cloud of displeasure on the
part of the students, is not likely to
enjoy much sunshine while he re-
mains there. The students should
net be allowed to control the col
lege, but they deserve to be treated
with more consideration. College
boys have a great deal Of She hu-
man in them, with perhaps a spice
of the devil, but taken altogether,
they are OPEN searted and generous,
and they are not easily duped.
They should be made gentlemanly
by being treated as gentlemen; !;
they should be made respectful by
being treated with respect; they
should be made considerate of the
feelings of others by being
treated with consideration. Yes,
it is difficult for college to get
on without them. Adger College
may profit by this lesson, if she
survives the ink and venom that
have been SO recklessly wasted by
the three reverend gentlemen who af-
forded rare sport to the devil by
withdrawing their attention from
him for a season, and doing his own
work SO efectually as te put him to
shame.

How to Make Upland Corn.

MEssRs. ED1ToRs:-I want TO tell your
readers how to make upland corn. Lay off
the rows five feet apart, so that they will
hold the water, with horse and six inch
shovel Then put four horses or mules to
one plow, with 1s or 90 inch shovel, Tor S
inches wide; and run in same furrowS deep
as they can pull the plow. Then drill In the
furrow 10 bushels of cotton seed and 200 lbs.
of phosphates or other manure, and sidle on
it with Q horses or mules half as deep as the
centre furrow. and plow out the balance of
bed with one horse, shallow. Then open the
ridge over the manure 3or inches deep,
and drop your corn three feet apart and cui-
tiYate fast and shallow, and you will make
80 or 40 bushels of corn per acre in middling
upland. Rain or dry, that deep furrow will
hold moisture oil summer. Try it and be
convinced. GOOD DRY FARMER.

Death ofAlex. HI. stephens. !.
The Last Moments Of the Ez-Tiss President of
the Confederate States OF America.

ATLANTA, March, AT about
2 o'clock this morning t t was evi-
dent that Governor Stepl ems was
much weaker and that the e1isis sSas
approaching. The doctors had
strong mustard plasters prepared
and put on his wrists. They let
them remain about twenty minutes
and when they were removed there
was not the slightest sign of infam-
nation, showing that there was lit
tie vitality left. At about ESQ
o'clock his extremities became cold
and clammy and assumed purp-
'lish hue. DR.. Miller, one of the at
tending physicians, said: s'The end
is not far Off" AS the end drew
near Mr.. Stephens was lying on his
back with his head turned slightly
to the right. The husky rattle in
his throat that had been plainly
perceptible earlier in the night had
ceased entirely. There was no
more heavy breathing and not the
slightest gasping. At a quarter
past 8 o'clock the family was cal
led in, and after breathing almost
imperceptibly for a few minutes, he
died without the slightest tremor.
The news Of the Governor s death
caused the profoundest sensation as
it was not generally believed he
was SO near deaths door. To-day
his remains have lain in state at
the Executive Mansion where they
were viewed by 10000 persons.
This afternoon meehng of citizens
was held and addresses were deliy-.
cred by Senator Colquitt, Judge
Martin, j. C. Crawford, Judge
Logan, E. Bleekley, and other
prominent citizens. A citizens
committee was appointed to coop
crate with committee from the
Legislature and with the State
House officers in the conduct of the
funeral. The remains will lie in
state at the Capitol until the burial,
which will occur here on Wednes-
day or Thursday.
Col. Jno. A. Stephens, a nephew
of the Governor, said last night:
81. have never known him to speak
SO little of death as during his pres
ent Illness, or to make SO few ar
rangements for the worst that might
come. In all his other attacks he
has been most careful to impress
on me the minutest details OF his
wishes and intentions. In this i'll
ness he has not said single word
of any of his desires" This but
confirms the theory of his illness.
It was exhaustion rather than dis
ease that brought about his death.
1t was mind and not body that gave
away. Mr.. Stephens made his will
some time ago. He leaves $4,000
in money to the children Of his late
brother, Judge Stephens, and the
rest of his estate, with the excep-
ton of a few minor bequests, to his
nephew, Col. Jno. Stephens. What
his estate will foot up depends
largely upon the sale of his new
History of the United States. He
made about $4,000 on 'sTbe
War between the States and his
new book is selling well. Above
his beauests his estate will proba-
bly, be $4,000.
