A mixed agriculture does not mean the

cotton main crop, mixed agriculture, to
him, means grasses, on which to breed
and feed his pillow stock, and on which to
raise his pork. milk and butter, poultry
and sheep. If he raises all cotton 1t re-
quires ali the money to buy the teams,
corn, ETC., needed. If he raises all at

cotton is profitable at seven cents. III a

INDEPENDENT of outside influences, but he
Is free at home-his Judgment governs
his work, and he may plant more OF one
crop and less of another as circumstances

The kind of mixed farming Alabama
needs is that which will take advantage
of the latitude, sunlight and rainfall,
free from the crop-l,en or mortgage.
Every rain that falls ought to help some
crop every sunny day ought to bring a
profit to the farmer in Alabama. We
make no war against cotton. But there
is a right way and wrong way to make

Oil Fuel Not Economical.

From Glasgow comes evidence OF an unmiS
taxable character that oil has been trisl ana
found wanting The managers OF the Laird
line, after a long trial of oil ON board one ut
their steamers, have decided, ON purely eco
nomic grounds, to abandon altogether the
use of oil rs fuel, having asccrtained from
practical tests extending over a considerable
period that coal is the cheaper fuel IF TIA" two.
Accordingly, they have had the oil tanks
taken out Of their vessel and have returned to
the use Of coal. notwithstanding the fact that
the oil tanks and the apparatus for accom-
piShing complete combustion OF the oil cost
considerable sum Of money. Although con-
siderable ingenuity has been displayed and
several difficulties have been overcome, there

The Right WAY.

IL experience and advice will benefit
any class, the planters of the Sonth
should lac "A well-informed and practical
people. They have gone on for years
planting cotton, paying little attention To
other farm crops. Experience has taught
that 1t is not the true system of farming.
We see, here and there, evidences of a
change, but cotton planting is still too
persistently followed for the best inter
ests of the planters. Diversified crops,
like diversified industries. is the true
plan and road to success. The Birming-
ham ige, published in the great Iron
city" of the South, and in the center of
a fine agricultural region, has this to saw
of cotton planting. We commend its
advice, as to mixed farming, to our own
agriculturists, with the hope that some
day we may become great and pros
porous people by the exercise of common
sense in the pursuits of agriculture. IL
says:
Cotton is too low To make a profit. Let
our farmers seize this favorable season
To begin on a small scale to reform those
habits of industry which in hard work
have held them bound down to poverty.

MAN.
He Believes in Keeping His Promise
to them.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Mr. T. M.
McCants Stewart recently wrote the
President approving the reappointment
of Mr.. Matthews to succeed Frederick
Douglas. He said the administration
was rebuking narrow-minded men OF
both parties, and was liberalizing and
dividing the colored vote. He has re-
ceived the following reply, dated Au-
gust IL.
"My Dear Sir: cannot resist the
temptation to absolutely steal time
enough to acknowledge the receipt OF
your gratifying letter in relation to the
reappointment of Mr.. Matthews. ]
very much hope that this act will not
be regarded as in any way defiant to the
Senate, or as an attempt to appear
heroic. I have deemed the question
involved in this matter as one rising
above politics and as offering test of
good faith and adherence to pledges
nothing more or less. When this thing
is put face to face, there should be no
shuff1ing. 1t is absurd to promise all and
perform nothing. If the colored man is
worthy of a promise, he is absolutely
entitled to its fulfillment by every hon
orable man. am glad you are pleased,
but fail to see how I am entitled to
especial credit for being honest.
Yours truly,
[Signed] GROVER CLEVELAND.
