Local Option by Counties.

The Local option bill passed the
House Friday by vote Of II to "a,
and now awaits the action of the
Senate, which will no doubt adopt it
by vote equally as decisive. The
bill is not in every respect what Pro
hibitiOnists desired, but it embraces
the main thing cOntendcd fOr-Local
Option BY COUNTIES and is a decid-
ed step forward in the temperance
legislation of the State. Members
Of the Legislature from Prohibition
counties like Dale and Rowan, who
voted for the bill after they found
they could not have their counties
excepted from its provisions, are To
be commended, not censured. A sy-
nopsis of the bill, as it passed the
House, will be found in oar supple
ment.

Pending the discussion of the
Local Option Bill'' in the House on
Friday, Mr.. Dale, of Lawrence, Of
fcred an amendment providing that
said bill should not apply to his
county, and made strong appeal to
the members, giving many reasons
why he wanted his county excepted.
The House held that the bill being
general, no amendment of local
nature could be adopted, and as
such the amendment was lost

A Word 10 Cotton Planters.

The outlook of the Southern cot
ton planters for the coming season
is certainly not cheerful one.
The staple is selling at ruinously
low prices, and there is no prospect
Of any material improvement. The
increase of nearly million Of bales
in the American crop OF 1889 has so
replenishod the supplies that with
the depression in trade prevailing
throughout the world the market
has dropped and price 8 have reached
extremely low figures. That
current rates leave no margin OF
profit for the producer scarcely adj
mits of doubt, though the crop
was made more cheapIy than at any
time since the war.
1t is sac to say that bat COR the
hounteous grain crops OF the South
last season the situation would be
far worse han it is.
The policy to be pursued relative
to planting this spring ought not to
be matter of doubt Ncthing but
force of habit and obstinacy can in
duce large cotton 'lanting this year
The risks Of loss are 30 great that
planters should, one and all, deter
mide To reduce their cotton acreage
and devote more land t" home sup
plies. Any commercial crop-ihat
is, one that has to he shipped To
market and sold at current rates
is hazardous in the extreme with
trade in its present condition. And
we candidlv confess we can sec
nothing on which TO base any hopes
Of early reaction. 1t is time above
all others when planters should risk
as little as possible ami turn their
attention more to those products OF
he soil which they can consume at
home. IT they cannot make money.
they can at least avoid loss; and
unless there should be q vast i'm
rrovement IN the general business
situation, large cotton crop IN
1886. such as could be made on the
usual acreage with II nominal in
crease in the area, might put prices
to figures never known betole.-
Nee Orleans Picayune.
Cotton continues to rule low
very low-midling Orleans being
quoatcd in Liverpool at less than !
pence, the lowest point reached f"'
many years, and as consequence o
the low price at Liverpool, Tho
markets on this side have declined
Blob cent this week.
This has been q most remarkable
season in cotton, and in whicl
every body has been disappointed
not excepting the most inretera,'
bears. The only possible cxplana
ton is the state OF the Livcrpo"
market, and the explanation of that
is the continued depression of trade
in that country and all other coun
tries.
The present situation clearly por
tends low prices tor the next crop

gether improbable disaster SHOULD
overtake the crop of this year. Their

An Iron Bridge across the Lower
Pearl.

Euring recent visit To Moni-
cello we heard a good deal said
about the projected iron bridge
across Pearl River at that point. 1t
has been proposed to build a bridge
that will cost about $4,000. to be
long lo the county, and t. ~ free to
all. IL is estimated that the annual
tax for this purpose for two years
will not amount To more than one
fourth of one cent on each hundred
dollars worth Of property; and there
Is no reasonable doubt but that the
splendid improvement contemplated
will add ten times that amount to
the value of property in that coun-
tv. 1t is admitted By all that it
will be great convenience and
benefit to the people on the east side
of the River, and the taxpayers on
the west, having the advantage OF
the court house, can well afford to
conccde this favor to their county
men beyond the stream who cons'i-
tute considerable majority, and
who are now cut off by the river
from their county seat except by
ferry boat.
Pearl RIVER runs nearly centrally
through Lawrence, and it has eX-
cited the surprise of many outside
observers and travellers, that such a
well off and prosperous county
should have always remained cut
in two by river so easily hridged.
The county has an ovcrfiowing
treasury, light taxes, and an indus
trious and enterpriaing population,
and all she needs is the spirit OF i'm
prnvement. Every holder Of prop
erly in all parts Of the county will
be benefited by a handsome iron
structure uniting IA one the now
discovered eastern and western
al,es of her territory.
Our State has n glorious future
Capitalists are beginning to come
here and emigrants from the North
and West. Our lands will soon ap-
preciate in value. There is no good
reason why the same quality of land
should be worth one hundred dol
lars per acre in Ohio, and only one
dollar in Mississippi. Sectionalism
has about ceased to exist, and the
race question no longer trightens

We have to-day the best laboring
population in the world, albeit much

After awhile the million bales of
cotton raised in Mississippi will be
manufactured within our own Dor
ders, then our waste places will
blossom as the rose. And there is
no county in The State with better
natural advantages than Lawrence.
Let her unite her now divided terri

are removed; and it makes enlolcea-
BILE all contracts heretofore entered
