Profitable Cotton Raising.

The Atlanta Constitution records the
results of competitive trial in profitable
cotton raising in Georgia, in which
seventy-live planters participated. A
fertilizer company in the State offered
$500 in gold for the best yield of cotton
made on ground enriched with their fer
tilizer, and four jersey bulls for the best
yield produced by clubs. The highest
yield was 1,345 pounds of lint cotton to
the acre, or three and one-half bales of
$50 pounds each. The lowest yield was
430 pounds, or a bale to the acre. The
average of the seventy.fve farmers was
TIA pounds, or nearly two bales to the
acre. To secure this, they used an aver
age of 88S pounds of the fertilizer, which
cost $15.54. The cotton brought $69.66,
leaving q. net profit of s44.12 to the acre,
the cotton seed nearly paying for the
cultivation. "At a bale to the acre above
the cost Of the fertilizer, any farmer CAP
get rich" says the Constitution. and the
seventy-five made more than that aver
age. The returns from the State show
that on an average three and half acres
were required to produce bale, or seven
acres, under the old method, to secure
what the new method produced from one
acre-a demonstration of the profits of
improved farming" which will not be
lost on The planters of the cotton belt.
The corn premiums produced results
equally gratifying. There were sixteen
contestants, and the average yield was
eighty.one bushels to the acre, the first
premium being taken with 1l6a bushels.
The interest in these contests, and their
success, prove that the Southern planters
are abandoning the loose, old plantation
methods, and are beginning to see the
profit and comfort in small farms we'll
titled" A steady following of this sys.
tenn will pay that section better than all
the politics it ever INDUCED in.

"scarlet stockings9 Yes, they're all

dealer yesterday. "But that isn't the
latest craze by any means"
"Whatis the latest fashion, then 2"
"Why, on Saturday morning l had
three young lady customers who came in
and bought three pair of red and three
pair of black hose. l was somewhat sur.
prised and asked the object. In each
case I vas told that it was not the proper
caper to wear two red stockings now, any
more than it is to wear two black ones"
swell, what on earth were they going
to do?"
"Wear one of each kinda scarlet
stocking on one foot and black one on
the other. It's o fact assure you. And
the fashion is gaining ground, for this
morning ] had several more customers
on the same errand. Black and red, you
know, are striking and at the same time
becoming contrasts. ."-.Philadelphia Times.

ANDERSON IS. c., THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY s. 1885

1t is amusing to see the wonder and ad-
miration with which the younger chill
dren look at him and listen 10 his chang.
ed yernacular. One of them seemed a
little troubled and said with serious con.
Germ, "pnpa do you think New York has
done Rictor any harm" "Why, no."
said I, "what makes you ask such a
question"
'Well, don't know" said he, "but he
wears that silk hat and lie is so polite
and he says he eats oatmeal at his board
ing house all the time, just like sick folks
do" The boy was really alarmed for fear
his big bud had become demoralized.
And now they will. finish up the week
with dog and guns. They promise to
keep the table supplied with game, but
though this is good hunting ground it is
very poor finding, and when they do
find it is very poor killing. There were
eight of them after one squirrel this
evening, and they scared him so bad with
the noise of their guns that he finally
ran down the tree and the dog caught
him. But after oil, they had power of
fun.
Well, Christmas ttill be over when this
reaches your readers. I hope they all
had good time and were happy, and
now let me wish for you and for them q
happy New Year.

THE MANUFACTURING EXEMPTION.
Mr.. Scudday's Reasons for Favoring a
Repeal of the Existing Law.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of Decem.
Der 18th you mention the fact that l
spoke In the House of Representatives in
in favor of repeating the law exempting
factories from taxation. In the article
you express your satisfaction that my
views did not prevail, and you speak of
the law as one highly beneficial to the
State. Whilst the House by an over.
whelming vote killed the exemption, yet,
since your article has put me before the
people as opposing measure of such
benefit to them, think it but just to
them, as we'll as to myself, for you to al
low me to present to them my reasons for
the position / occupied. This is only
what I desire. I have no idea you m can't
to provoke newspaper controversy, nor
dol mean by this communication to do
so. Perhaps I can best accomplish my
desire by asking you to publish the
speech referred to and leave the people
to judge the correctness Of my position.

Oscar wilde. the Apostle Of lEsthetic Cult
urc, on Dress.

Oscar Wilde continues to lecture on
dress. Fashion, he says, is form of
ugliness so unbearable that il has to be
changed every six months. Egyptian
dress lasted for two thousand years and
Greek dress nearly thousand years.
and wherever dress has been beautiful
and rational it has lasted for a long
time. The texture and color tSly have
altered, but the dress has remained the
same. The amount Of money spent on
dress in England was something ap-
palling. If he told them the amount
spent on bonnets alone one-half of them
would be filled with remorse and the
other half with despair. II lady wore
the latest Paris fashion to the rage and
jealousy of the neighborhood for fort
night her dearest friend would call on
her and tell her that it was no longer
worn. aud the bonnet would be dis
carded.
Turning to the dress of men, which
was not of so much consequence-bu
they must wear somcthing-he said no
fashion was too ugly, too monstrous,
too bizarre that men have not welcomed
with alacrity and worn with delight.
Even the dress of the present day was
not so sensible rs people represented it
to be.
The tall hat was an illustration. Now,
why this glossy cylinder? This tall
silk hat was considered to be a sign of
immense respectability on week days
and of orthodoxy on Sundays. He pro-
tested against anything so ugly being
held to express what was moral.
The coat, again, was garment that
had back to it and no front, and the
waistcoat a garment that had front
and no back. For the sake Of economy,
if for no other reason, we should ANAL
gamate them into one-the doublet.
Generally, he remarked, that the well
dressed people were those whom we
were in the habit of calling the lower
orders.
The plowboy wore the smock frock,
which was the doublet wore in the
fourteenth century by the King and his
mobiles. The French workmans blouse
was the short tunic of the same century
worn hy Kings and Princes. All the
ugly dress had came from people who
had nothing to do. and did it. Among
peasants and fisher folk we never found
ugly dress. They thought of what was
suitable and useful and what corre-
sponded to their needs, and so they OBJ
tanned what was really beautiful.-M

THEIR PICTURE.

.hs Surveyor and the school-Ma'am-A
Fact.
II was a land-surveypr,
With his mysterious load
M bright three-legged instrumental
Game striding down the road;
And iust before the district school
He paused to take sight;
And MI the children came and stared
At his theodolite.
The little school -ma'am hurried out
To sec what caused the stir;
And one and all they took the man
For photographer.
.And obi" the little school.ms'am cried,
allow happy should be
II YOU would take our likenesses-
My scholars all, and mel"
The man (he was willy wag)
Rcplied: "'Twould cost a sight
To photograph district school
With theodolite!"
But still the little school-ma'am begged,
And longed to have her way.
She searched her pocket-book, and found
Two dollars she could pay.
Tie said: Although that isn't much
For taking such view,
You're SO hard up for likenesses
guess Ill make IT do"
The school-ma'am scrubbed her little ones
With lavish soap and care,
And Strengthened down their pinafores,
And "slicked" their stubborn hair.
And then II was n goodly sight
To view that stiff thirteen;
Six boys and girls on either side,
The school-ma'a am in between.
His big bandana then he spread,
And meath IL took a look;
And "sightcd them sufficiently,
And laughed until he shook.
The picture promising TO send,
Nor waiting for the pay.
This graccless wight took up his traps,
And hurried on his way.
The picture-it was but a sketch
In penc !, nothing more.
OF those thirteen cOniiding ones
Grouped round the schoolhousc door.
And underneath this photograph
Was writ: This is the sight
took by Sinithville's district school,
Through my theodolite."

In view of the harmful results which
SO frequently attend the use of so-called

tanning morphia, opium and other
equally dangerous drugs, the under

pleasure in endorsing the official opin-
ions expressed by the Commissioner of
Health of Baltimore; DIR. Samuel X.
Cox, analytical chemist, of Washington,
and other authorities to the effect that
the RED STAR Cough CURE Is not only
a perfectly harmless, but at the same

alike for being entirely vegetable-free
from opiates, poisons and narcotics
and for its prompt efficacy, as demon
stratcd by practical tests.

For centuries 81 has been contended that cough
medicine to be effective must contain morpha,
opium, or some other equally dangerous drug, and
to-day nearly every cough mixture In the market has
for its base some one Of these deadly poisons. A
purely vegetable and at the same time efhcacious
cough cure has been considered an impOssibllty.
