CHICKENS AND COTTON.

At the beginning of 1885, Mr..
John X. Humphrey, of Jones county,
had forty bushels of cotton seed for
which he was offered five dollars,
cash; but he had determined to
make one acre rich for cotton, and
refused the five dollars for the cot
ton seed and applied them with
stable manure to this acre. After
his cotton was up and growing, he
made another application Of stable
manure From this acre he obtained
a bale of cotton which brought him
S32. One-haIf Of this had to go to
Mr.. Williams for land and team,
which left him SIG. The picking
of the cotton was worth Sc, leaving
him SO; the cotton seed he applied
as manure was worth S., leaving
him S. for his stable manure and
cultivating one acre in cotton.
But Mr. Humphrey had better
results from poultry raising. Last
September he had twenty-five grown
pullets which ate, up to the time OF
making this statement, two and one
half barrels of corn, worth 81. From
them he has sold eggs to theamount
of S29; has fifty thrifty young
chickens and three dozen more eggs
just ready to hatch out.
According to Mr.. Humphrey s
experience, twenty five pullets are
far more profitable than rich acre
in cotton, even If the farmer has
the land of his own to cultivate

Truck men from the North are

the shipping season that is about

to visit our city this year, as our
truck crops, especially peas, are

ever before seen them; and we
have seen some short crops in this

in truck hereabouts this year is not

A report from Portland, Me-, of the
22d inst. states Harvey d. Hadlock,
Jr., the fifteen-years-old son of Har-
vey D. Hadlock, Esq, a prominent
lawyer of this city, committed suicide
this evening in very tragic and pc
culiar manner. The family board at
the Plymouth House, and this even
ing Mr. Hadlock took his son into the
parlor and told him he had made ar
rangements to send him to school at
Topsham tomorrow. The boy said
he did not want to 60, and, upon the
father insisting, he exclaimed, "Well,
L won't go to school p and, rising
from his chair, drew a revolver from
his pocket and, before his father knew
what he was doing, placed the revol-
yer between his eyes and fired. The
boy fell and the father sprang for
ward to catch him. Mr.. Hadlock
thought at first the boy was fooling
and that the charge was blank, but
he Immediately found the head bloody
and summoned help. DR.. Gordon at
once came, but no help was possible,
the boy having died instantly, the ball
going through the base of the brain.
Mr.. Hadlock is much Frustrated by
the occurrence. The boy has been
very 10th to go to school, and had run
away once.

The President has signed the Presi-
dental. succession bill, and the country
is supposed to be safer than it has been
since the close of the war. BY the pro-
visions of the bill when there is va
cancy in the offices of both President
and Vice President the cabinet officers
shall succeed to the Presidency in the
following order: Secretary Of State,
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary
of War, Attorney General, Postmas-
ter General, Secretary of the Navy,
and Secretary of the Interior. The
cabinet officer thus acting as Presi-
dent is to hold Office until the disabil-
ity of the President or Vice President
is removed, or until a new President
is elected to succeed him at the end
Of the term of the President or Vice
President whom he succeeds. The
bill also authorizes the acting Presi-
dent to call an extra session of Con-
gress within twenty days from the
time he assumes the duties of his
Office, should the regular meeting of
Congress not occur within that time.

POLITICAL.

Only two Republican officials can
be found in Arkansas, and they will
not long be spared.
An Alabama Democratic paper ex-
poets to see four vacancies in the
United States Supreme Court during
the Cleveland administration, and it
thinks that at least half of them
should be filled from the south.
1t is stated that Mr.. Charles
Canda, who has accepted the position
of United States Sub-Treas urer in
New York, is man of considerable
wealth. If this be so, his friends should
look into his mental condition.
A Washington special says that
quite number of Democratic Con-
gressmen have appointed their sons to
good places in Washington, which are
claimed by constituents who had been
promised them and who are now very
indignant.
The House Civil Service Commit
tee is unanimous in reporting adverse
ly the bill to repeal the civil service
law, and will be equally agreed, it is
thought, upon proposition to make
the salary of the Commissioner $4,000.
1t is now reported that the Presi-
dent has informed Senator Cockrell
of his purpose to give the Republican
Senators all the information respect
ing removals and appointments which
can be properly termed public.
Those Democratic papers which
would delight to witness sharp con-
troversy between the Republican SEN
ators and the President, are not likely
to be gratified at present. Then Sen
ators are not disposed to enter into a
controversy for the sake of one.
