Cotton culture promises to be popu-
lar indu stry in Barber county the COM
ing season, and if our farmers profit by
the experience of their brothers in the
south, none will consider themselves
unable to raise crop. In the south,
the average cotton yield is about one
third of bale to the acre. Mr.. Duncan
McLaurin of Marion county, South Car
DINA, made last season with one mule
twenty-sIx bales on twenty-five acres,
land a bountiful supply of corn, fodder,
potatoes and peas besides" Mr.. George
L. Reid of Chappell's made ninety bales
on 'fiye-horse farm" and good crop
of corn and fodder in addition. The
number of acres is not given, but the
crop was eighteen bales to the horse,
each bale being worth $40. Mr.. w. III.
Hardin, of Chester, made tweDty-six
and half bales on thirteen acres.
Four farmers of Greenville raised each
two bales and a little over on an acre.
NJ. j. A. Peterkin, of Orangeburg
county, declared he would raise fifty
bales ON fifty acres with one mule and
one hand. The caterpillars interfered
with his enterprise, but he gathered
forty-four bales, at an extra cost of
two hOeings, for which he paid 500.
The whole cost of the crop was $500,
and he expects to sell it for $1,000.
These examples make 1t clear enough
that if the crop were properly cultiva-
ted all over the south the yield would
be doubled at benefit of $3.50, OOO, 900 a
year. And if such results can be OBJ
tanned in the south, why may not Bar
Der county farmers hope to make a sue
cess of cotton? Corn will not grow with
out proper planting and cultivation any
more than cotton will. But the man
who plants at the right time and then
cultivates his cotton can hope for as
good results here as those South Caro-
lima farmers had.

A POINTED LETTER.

1t is refreshing, occasionally, to find
an individual or company not afraid
to lay down 1.-The law with the bark on
it" when the regulation of his orlits pri-
Vate business is concerned. Such an
example is before us, however, in a
letter sent by President Corbin of the
Reading railroad, during the recent
strike on that system. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
"To such of our old employees who
have stood faithfully by us we feel
obliged and thankful, and shall not for
get them. But the time has now ar
rived when all of our employees will be
required 10 decide whichever they ex-
pect TO retain, their places of reason
and honest and faithful services and
prompt obeyance to the orders of the
company that employs and pays them,
or the blind 0beyance to the directions
OF the Knights of Labor, through which
organization the leaders hope to coerce
us into the employment OF men who
consider their first obeyance due that
order. The men who stand by us will
have reasonable hours and good pay. as
much as is paid by any other corpora
WIN VI olllldA CudAdcltl. i he men
who do not will never be allowed on the
road again under any circumstances.
We have never objected to labor rela-
lions and do not now. Every man
shall be tree TO belong to one, or not,
just as he pleases; but orders cannot
and shall not dictate to this company as
to whom 1t shall employ. or how il op-
crates its property. Places that are
left in obedience to the orders of the
Knights of Labor will be filed with
new men and such men will be retain
cd. and under 40 circumstances will be
discharged to make roOLa for the men
who have left their places. Hereafter
we will operate this company with en-
ployes who consider their first duty is
TO the company, and expect to obey
reasonable orders made i'm the trans
action of its business. There has new
or been a moment when under any cir
cumstances we would arbitrate anv
question gfOying out of this strike.
There has been nothing to arbitrate.

SELL TIE BONDS.

1t appears that tho best thing the city
authorities can do just now is TO adver-
tise and sell the water-wOrks bonds and
with the proceeds commence the work
of excavating the water ditch. If the
bonds bring but 80 cents that would
net Sl3, 800 and that amount expended
among the labOring men of this city be-
tween now and warm weather would be
gOd-send. While no cases OF want or
restitution are reported, it is fact that
many mechanics and labOring men IN
this city are without work and have
been for weeks. They are not begging
and this appeal for them is not de-
mand for charity; but it is asking that
they be given an opportunity to earn
money to support themselves and theiI
families.
If II Is decided that the water-wOrks
bonds cannot be advantageOusly dis
posed Of, then we favor the city enter.

Go any direction from this city and

worse the roads appear. The city could
well afford to expend a thousand dol.
lars for labor on these approaches.

NO.MANSL4ND-

The President has issued a procla-
nation declaring the strip of land now
known as Greer county, Texas, as part
of the Indian territory, and warning
persons from buying, selling or claim
ing any right to said land. The Dro-
vers' Telegram, published at the Kan
sas City stockyards, prints the procla-
nation. under the caption of 1.-The Tt
tie to NO-Man 's-Land," and sends il
forth to deceive and mislead. Other
papers, which are not in the habit of
making Investigations, have fallen into
the error of thinking that the procla-
nation was really in regard to the strip
now popularity known as "No-Man'I
Land"
The west line of Greer county, Texas,
if extended north about one hundred
and thirty miles, would form the east
line of No Man's-Land. At no point
do these two tracts Of land approach
each other, and there should be no con-
fusion in speaking of them. Greer
county lies in the southwest corner of
the Cherokee nation, and is claimed by
the state of Texas, and also claimed by
the government as a part of the Indian
reservation.
NO-Man's-Land is a strip off of the
north end of what was once the north
end of Texas. The strip is thirty-four
miles wide, and one hundred and sixty
eight miles long. 1t lies between the
south line of Kansas and Colorado and
the north line of Texas, with New Mex
leo on the west, and extends east to the
west line of Clark county, Kansas.
The way this strip happened to be
left "out of doors" is, that when Texas
was a candidate for admission into the
union, she claimed the strip as part
of her territory. Just about that time
there was great discussion going on in
congress over admitting any territory
to come in as slave state, north of a
certain line. Texas wanted admission
as slave state, and in order to simpli.
fy matters, and to get in quickly, she
Topped off all her territory north of the
line, and was admitted. Kansas die
not want to spoil her shape by attach
ing the strip, and 1t is now public land
as much as Texas was before admission
into the union.

Chicago Tribune: "A tariff so aust
eel as to yield oRiy noderate degree of
protection to home Industries you'd
greatly promote manufacturing I'm the

BILE. Cheapening his goods, the manu-
facturer would seek 20 recoup himself
by getting rid Of the long haul freight
charge. Factories and mills working
for the western market would seek a
location i'm the western cities and towns.
Under such a system a state like Iowa
would not long continue shipping ma

Blaine's own state OF Maine, there to
be fabricated and then returned to the

west would manufacture for itself.
Western farmers would bay goods
cheaper and sell their produce higher,

ton charge, mill and factory operatives
could get cheaper meats and breadstufhs.
A lower tariff would greatly stimulate
the prosperity Of the west
