Cotton P lanters IN Luck.

So famous have the South Carolina
cotton planters become all over the
world that they are now in demand in
foreign countries where cotton is
planted. Sometime ago the well known
firm of Norden & Co., of New York,
wrote to Mr.. C. E. Salinas, of the cot
ton house of A. J. Salinas & Son., of
Charleston, Gu behalf of a firm in
Russia, asking MI. Salinas to make ar
rangements with capable and intelli-
gent cotton planter to 60 to Russia to
plant cotton. Mr.. Salinas made ar
rangements with Mr.. John Scott, of
Mars Bluff, in Marion County, who is
we'll known as one of the most success
full cotton planters in the State, and on
the 10th of January Mr.. Scott sailed
from New York for Moscow, Russia.
When he reaches Russia Mr.. Scott will
go to the district of Caucasus, one of
the southern provinces of Russia,
where he will enter upon the discharge
of his duties. His special business will
be to superintend and instruct the ma
tives in the cultivation of cotton,
which is planted there in large quanti-
ties. Mr.. Scott is reliable, capable
and intelligent planter, and he will
have direct supervision of one of the
largest private cotton plantations in
Russia. Of course Mr.. Scott will re-
ceive very handsome salary. Cotton
planting is fostered by the Russian
government, and Mr.. Scott will there
by have special advantages in this new
field. He will also be sent to Central
Asia to confer with planters and dealers
in that section, where cotton is now
produced in large quantities annually.
It is estimated that the annual cotton
production in Asia amounts to about
eighty-four million pounds.

ness men that this tale property i:
valuable.
Then, in November, as has been
stated in the Constitution, the Mercan.

The capital stock and surplus of this
company was, according to Mr.. Tolle'
sons statement, paid up in bonds and
stocks.
A welI-known banker, who is by the
way probable loser by Mr.. Tolleson,
said yesterday: II regard Tolleson the
shrewdest business man, and in any
kind of business, that I have ever met.
In all his transactions he has bad good
legal advice, and with the exception of
this last break doubt if there is any
thing upon which he could be caught. "

To]leson's transactions-they are all
laid at his door, though done in the

them are decidedly unfavorable to Mr..

know of his shrewd business capacity

And q Good Deal of It.

"You ought to write up this country
and send your paper all over the
Northwest every week." remarked a
citizen to the editor of the Liberal, a
few days ago. "And who is going to
paw for this ?" we asked. "Oh, you
ought to do that much yourself, for the
good of your town and county" And
that is about the way most people look
at the newspaper business. But it
takes money to run a newspaper cash

: aStOOlSnment that wealthy Americans
should think it necessary to cross thu
Atlantic and take up their abode or
the shores of the Mediterranean wher
their own country offers fine climate
and the Gulf OF Mexico more attractive
scenery even than the Bay Of Naples
At this moment Mr.. Jefferson Davis is
passing his mild decline in the ex'
treme south of the state of Mississippi
in a house called Beauvoir-bequeathed
to him in 1879 by Mrs. Dorsey, an en-.
tire stranger in blood-which looks out
upon the Gulf of Mexico, and is des.
cribed by its fortunate occupant as
'the most delightful spot on EARTH"
If any Englishman desires to have the
horoscope of the "New South" and of
its prospects drawn for him by a COM
petent hand, be would do we'll to fol-
low the example of Lord Roseberry,
and seek out the ex-President of the
Southern Confederacy in his Mississip-
pi home.
Lord Dunraven is another travelled
authority who has declared, in lee
ture son the Making Of America" de-
livered lately at Walsall, that the fu-
ture of the great republic depends chief
ly on those states which, between 1861
and 1865, were in rebellion against the
Washington government. Nothing,
indeed, humanity speaking, can arrest
their progress, now that their inhabi-
tants are released from the exhaustion
of slavery-the costliest system of labor
in the. world-and have found in free
and fairly paid toll the blessing that it
always brings. Little more than
twenty years since the Southerners,
with half their adult male population
wiped out, with their slaves made
their equals, and more than the equals
of those who had formerly owned
them, with corrupt "carpet-baggers"
from the North preying on their vitals
and without capital of their own, were
in the lowest stage Of despair. Strange,
indeed, is the transformation that two
brief decades have brought about. Al
ready the most enlightened and far
sighted manufacturers of New. Eng
land, Pennsylvania and New York
state are beginning to perceive that
Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and
Tennessee contain resources Of coal,
iron, cotton, lumber, trupentine, naval
stores and hundred other products
which even the rich North cannot
parallel; and that the climate of the
North and Northwestern states can
never possess. All that is now want

years since by the late Mr.. Benjamin,

SENATOR vANCE'S POEM.
His Protective Pastoral about the Girl with
One Stocking.
Washington Cor. Chicago Herald. |.

| Washington Cor. Chicago Herald.
Senator Vance set colleagues and
spectators in a roar by reading in splen-
did style the following pastoral, which
he said, was entitled, 1.-THE girl
with one stocking; protective pasto-
raj composed aud arranged for the
spinning wheel, and respectfully dedi-
Gated to that devoted friend of pro-
tected machinery and high taxes, the
senator from Rhode Island, Mr.. AL
drich':
Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart was most intent
To make its wool beyond its worth, -
Bring 56per cent.
But pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that sum
Shed willingly let go.
Another girl, who had no sheep
Nor stockings-wool nor flax
But money just enough to buy
A pair without the tax,
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings, not of fax,
But both of wool complete.
When Mary saw the girls design
She strait began to swear
She'd make her buy both wool and tax
Or let one leg go bare.
So she cried out: "Protect reform!
Let pauper sheep wool free?
If it will keep her legs both warm
What will encourage me?3
So it was done, and people said
Where e'er that poor girl went, -
One leg was warmed with wool and ::
one 49, -
With 56 per cent.
Now praise to Mary and her lamb,
VINO dld tnlS Scneme invent,
To clothe one-halfa girl in wool &
And one-half in per cent.
All honor, too, to Mary's friend,
And protective acts,
That cheaply clotae the rich in wool
And wrap the poor in tax.
The reading Of this piece of doggereI
was received with shouts Of laughter,
even Republican Senators leaning back
in their seats and giving unrestrained
way to their mirth. AS for the people
in the galleries, they screamed and
yelled fIantically, and when Senator

lima orator gravely inclined his head in s.
acknowledgement.

THE nOLER CASE,

When Judge Whiteman, in deciding
the Coler mandamus some weeks ago, put
his decision on the ground that the fund
ing act gave the county commissioners 4
discretion beyond the control Of the courts,
and at the same time ntimated that the
court considered the railroad securities in
question to be binding Obligations Of the
county. the New MEXICAN called publ,
attention to the great danger to tax payers
which might result from persistence in
litigation. That dangers now imminent
Yesterday, after q trial of four days, dur
ing which the attorneys for the county
exhausted all the resources OF the law III
the effort to resist Mr.. Coler's claim to be
paid the interest overdue on the \. NJ. q
s. +. Il. Il. bonds, Judge Whlteman
overruled the defense and directed YER
dict against the county for 1S.391.02
The Judge displayed patience and Judicial
capacity in conducting the trial, and 1t is
safe to say that the true inwardness OF
the case was thoroughly exposed.
The next thing in order, ii Judgment
is entered, will be an immediate levy OF
taxes to pay the amount Of the verdict
and costs, besides the fees of the collect
ing officers. This levy can be avoided
bv the giving Of Il good bond for about
$l60, 100 pending appellate proceedings
bat the execution OF such bond is prob
ably impractcable. The county is there
fore ut the mercy OF the creditor.
That Mr.. COler has many reasons iol
personal irritation in the treatment to
which he has been subjected may be very
true, but we believe that he is altogether
too large minded n man to prefer to act
meanly when he can as well act gener-
ouslv. Unless the verdict should be ear
ried into a Judgment the county commits
sioners might still refund the Indebtedness
with Mr.. Colcrs consent, and cancel the
overdue coupons.
We trust that our commissioners vii
appreciate the situation and endeayOl lC
bring about compromise which will re
lieve our tax payers from the threatene'
levy. 1t seems only fair that others, WHIT
are hereafter to share In the benefits o
the railroad and in the great prospert!
which the future has in store for the
county, should also share in the paymen
OF the debt by means OF which thost
benefits and that prosperity have beer
promoted.

Il gang OF base c0nspiratOrs who have
planned to unsettle the title OF all the

Democrat, speaking Of the unlamented,
said to the Reporter: "He is no Demo
rrat. He is simply man with griev-
ance against the Republican party and
he is bound to play even some way"
His mission seems to have been to at
tempt to smirch the character of his pre-
decessors in office simply because they
were Republicans. en- who in moral
purity and official integrity were SO much
above George W. Julian that ii they
looked down upon him they would get
