CorroN Is KNa.--It is gratifying TO know
chat the cotton planters in this country
are prosperous. Read what the Atlanta
Consultation says on this points
Although the South produced good
crop of cotton last year. the price of the
product has steadily advanced. Consump-
ton has exceeded production. New mills,
pew labor-saving machinery, and large
population account for this satisfactory
state OF affairs.
AT time when agriculture in the
North and West Is depressed by low prices,
cotton ia the single exception. The south
ern planters alone can produce $500, 000,-
600 crop that Is readily marketable all over
the world.
THE South has monopoly In cotton,
and there rs little tear of over-produetion,
because the growth of cotton is confined
70 small section where IL can only be pro-
duced by hand labor, with no prospect Of
the considerable increase Of such labor"
Without the several hundred millions of
dollars worth of cotton which the South
sends abroad, the United States Govern
msnt could hardly get along. II would
not DO able TO collect S2OO, 0OO, 900 Of reve-
nue. from customs duties il il were not for
this cotton crop. The South furnishes in
large measure the exports which pay for
theimports. No wonder the North wouldn't
let her set up for herself.

More of Mrs. Lippincott's Handiwork Dis
covered.
MADDEN Hall, Atlantic City, now noted
in connection with Mrs. Julia Lippincott's
colossal forgeries and swindling schemes,
hes been sold by Edwin LippIncott, the
suffering husband, to Isaac w. Stokes,
of Medford, N. j., for S66,5O0. A
Philadelphia special says: The transfer
was made on Tuesday in the Atlantic
County Clerks office, at Mays Landing.
According to the record Stokes held one
third interest in the house besides having
a mortgage against 1t, and Lipplncott the
other two thirds. Stokes becomes sole
owner, and il is stated that he will place
Idppincott in charge of the house.
II was the high commercial standing OF
Edwin Lippincott that made it possible Tor
his wife TO negotiate SO much worthless
paper. Mr.. Lippincott. upon the advice Of
counsel, will pay no more of the claims
against him which arise from the fraudu-
lent acts of his wife. Mrs. Lippincott, it is
believed, is in hiding IN Washington, d..
c., or is with her mother in Baltimore.
Her arrest means an avalanche of charges
that would about annihilate the shrewd
penwoman. Notice was received by the
Burlington County National Bank ct Med
ford to-day of another forged note for
81 800 given by Mira. Lippincott and bear
ing tho names of Edwin Lippincott and
Mary A. Haines. The New Jersey State
Deposit Company Of Camden sent the note
in collection only to find that it was
forgery. q,
A. j. Widener, of No. SO south Second
street, Philadelphia. was swindled out of
$500 by the woman by means Of bogus
check, and Miss Maggie Clark, Of Haddon-
field. was muloted out of a similar amount.
The acknowledgements of the mortgagor in
several instances to the forged mortgages
were alleged TO have been taken before Il.
n. Wright, of Bedford. Mr.. Wright says
he never took any such acknowledgements,
and as far a. he is concerned they are
forgerles all the way through.
