To Remove Stains from Silver
Plate.-It frequently happens that,
from long neglect, plate becomes so
stained and spotted that it cannot
be Immediately restored by any of
the usual plate powders. When
ever this occurs, mix one part of
sal ammoniac with sixteen parts
of vinegar. Rub the stain or spot
gently with the mixture. They
will soon disappear. The plate
should then be we'll washed IN soap
and water.

FARM AND HOME.
Cotton Production.

n. o. Times-Democnt
The Interstate Agricultural Con
vention at Jackson, Tenn, has call
cd attention to the demoralize,
condition of the cotton raising In
terest ofthe South, IN consequence
of the low prices of tho staple pre-
vaihng. The convention pronounC
cd in favor of diversified crops
and showed how this would bene
fit the South. If one-third less cot
ton was planted, and more grill
and grasses, moro hog and homIny
raised, a living price could be rea
lIzed for labor, while the Southern
farmers and planters would be in
dependent of tho West in the mat
ter, and be able to raise the cottoI
as an extra and profitable crop.
The convention declared: "Th'
time is now propitious for unitec
action, and we appeal to the pres!
of the South to aid us IN our efforts
by giving every publicity to THU
protest and appeal to the planter
to raise less cotton and more
grain"
This advice has been given veal
in and year out ever since the war
but it has never been followed
The South has persisted in raising
moro cotton than the world need
cd, and in raising it at a loss. II
vain tho planters have been sdvis
ed On this point, in vain the press
have called on them for united &C
ton. There has been no improve
ment. The cotton crop of the South
has continued to grow larger, the
price to fall, until the staple has
ceased to yield any profit to it
producer, except IN rare cases.
The Jackson convention declared
that the present was the proper
time for united action on this point
This, however, cannot be secured
by mere appeals to the planters
but only by some organization,
Such an organization, we under
stand, is being established IN some
of the upper river parishes and il
certain Mississippi counties. ltls
proposed to adopt such plan az
has been found effective in similar
cases by the great manufacturing
interests of the country, whereby
production is lessened and the out
put of each factory is determined
A central council will fix the
amount of land that each planter
shall put in cotton and in grain
There will consequently be a small
Ter cotton crop, but the price of the
staple will be such as to offset this
and, as the food crops will be lar.
ger, the farmer will be able to cul.
tlvate his place at less expense.
This has been tried very success.
fully in the iron and other manu-
featuring districts. 1t is, of course,
far more difficult to manage with
an agricultural production, and
particularly ono like cotton, culti-
waited over so largo an extent OF
territory. Yet such an organiza-
ton cannot be productive of the
best results. 1t can gradually ex-
tend its power and influence and
educate farmers into the great ben
Gifts to accrue from the production
of less cotton and more food crops.
These press appeals will accom-
plish nothing, nor do we look for
much even from the resolutions
and protests of agricultural con-
ventions; the united action of the
farmers themselves through an es-
tablIshed organization will alone
accomplish any important improve
ment IN this matter.

Thursday at Rowlosburg. 1t was 3
feet inches long and weighed 80
pounds. In trying to get it into their
boat the fish caught Browns hand
in its mouth and closed its teeth on
him. The boat was carried down the
river quarter Of a mile by the 6sh,
and twice Brown was pulled over
board into the waiter and 1t was with
The greatest difficulty that the Sena.

him under the water. A. length they

where they had great advantage over

their pocket knives and finally kill.
DIT died with its teeth clinChed
on Browns hand and they had TO pry

having gone entirely through the

Fatal Fail.

On Sunday night last, William Nc
Ginnis, of Eighty Cut, met with q
fatal accident at his home in that
place. He had been visiting his son
Thomas McGinnis, during the day,
and after returning home he went up
stairs and lay down on II lounge.
Presently his wife came up, and after
retiring she remarked that she had
forgotten to shut and fasten the front
door. Mr.. McGinnis arose from the
lounge to go down stairs and shut the
door. In some way he missed his
footing and fell headlong down the
stairway. We are informed that the
fall killed him almost instantly, and
that he never spoke after being pick
ed up. His remains were buried on
Tuesday at II o'clock, in the burying
ground on John Snider's farm. Mr..
McGinnis was between so and 60
years of age, and was tolerably well
known in this county. He was the
father of Ami, Thomas and William
McGinnis. The funeral was attended
by large concourse of neighbors
and friends.
