KING CoTToN's AREA.
Shorten the Crop and Up VIII Go De-
mand and Price.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal
King CottCn's reign in the south in future
will not be as extensive as it has been in
years gone by.
The farmers are beginning a systematic
which will, in all probability, result in
smaller crops in the future.
The Georgia alliancemen who belong to
the legislature have taken hold of the mat
ter and will do all in their power with this
end in view.
Ever since the legislature has been in ses-
sion the alliance members have held meet
ings once a week to talk over matters of in
terest to the farming community.
At last weeks meeting the cotton ques-
ton came up.
Capt. A. H. Smith of Greene county
introduced the following resolutions on the
subject:
WHEREAS, Cotton is the money crop of the
larger portion of Georgia, and
WHEREAS This fact has led to constant ex-
tension of the cotton belt and an increase, an
nually, in the acreage given to cotton and in
the number of bales produced, and
WHEREAS. This large and increasing crop,
coupled with circumstances and combinations
over which the producer has practically no con-
troll. has resulted in prices that are both unre-
muneratve anu discouraging, and
WHEREAS. Our best interests demand that we
should attempt at least TO find, in our own man
agement, remedy for this evil; therefore,
be it
RESOLVED. By the members Of this conference
of senators and representatives, who are ALI
ancemen, that, in our Judgment, the first step
to be taken in furtherance of relief
is a great reduction in the acreage TO be planted
in cotton i'll 1892, this reduction to be made in
| each and all Of the cotton growing states.
| RESOLVED further, That a committee of five
| from this conference be appointed by the chair
man at his leisure to bring this important mat
| ter to the attention of the state alliance at the
session to be held in this city next month"; to the
| end that said body, speaking for the alliance
men of Georgia, shall declare in favor of the
! reduction or the cotton area as herein recon-
mended, and take all steps necessary to secure
| the cooperation of our brethren in the cotton
states and TO make sure the object of this move
ment as outlined in the foregoing preamble and
| resolutions
These resolutions were unanimously
| adopted.

North Carolina Pensioners.

Three weeks ago Auditor Sanderlin
ers stricken from the rolls by the
county advisory boards would about
equal the new ones put on the rolls.
He finds that he was mistaken, and
that there is an increase of about
400. This will decrease the pro rata
share of each of the four classes of
pensioners. This year they will re-
ceive the following pensions: First
class, $50, instead of $71, which was
last years rate; second class, $40
instead of $53.25; third class, $50,
instead of $3.50; fourth class $15,
instead of SITS. The increase in
the number is the largest in any one
year, and yet it is not a net increase.
1t includes many who last year were
required to furnish new applications
and proofs. but who failed to do so,
but availed themselves this year of
the privilege. Last year there were
4,2OO pensions; this year the number
is 4, ,5S2. Of the number in the va
rious classes there are so in class 1,
241 in class 2, 331 in class 3, and
$500 in class f. The amount of pen
sions to be distributed this year is
So, 900, against $S7 900 last year.
This reduction is due to the fact that
the last Legislature required some
overdrawing, as it ordered that a
particular sum be disbursed. This
was done by special legislation, and
about 81, 900 was thus overdrawn.

Express Regulations Made.

The express companies have ar
ranged their rate schedules in con
formity with the requirements Of
Railroad Commission and they will
be put into effect January l. They
have been allowed till that time IN
order to give them an opportunity
to publish the new rates and place
them in the hands of their agents.

We are glad to hear it. There
should be some arrangement" and
the arrangement should embrace Il
reasonable schedule of rates, and
those rates should be published on
cards by the express company, ard
should be free to any one who might
want them for information. The
present principles upon which The
express business is conducted are
tough, to say the least. We can and
will take pleasure in stating a great

REVIEW OF TRADE.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Summary for che
Past Week.

Business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days, as reported to R. G. Dun & Co.,
number for the United States 253
and for Canada SO, or total of 291.
compared with 266 last week and
255 the week previous. For the cor
responding week last year the figures
were 266. Business has entirely re-
covered from the slight disturbance
caused by the Maverick bank failu, e.
Money at New York has fallen again
to per cent. on call, and at Boston
plenty is offering and rates are steady.
Trade is large in volume for the
season and in many lines, especially
at the West the largest ever known,
but the margins for profits are mar
row and the tendency of prices is not
toward improvement in that respect,
for while breadstuffs advance, most
manufactured products tend to de-
cline The records of mortgages sat
isfed in Western counties show that
enormous sums are taken for that
purpose by the farmers, from their
receipts, so that the usual proportion
of money paid for crops goes to can
eel debts created in past years.
Doubtless this in part explains the
fact that the demand for various
manufactured products has not yet
increased as largely as expected in
view of the great crops raised. The
stock market is dull and depressed.
Money markets are well supplied for
legitimate business, and there is a
distinct improvement in collections
as products are marketed.

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Another Wreck on the Western North
Carolina Railroad.

The Western North Carolina rail-
road is having another streak of bad
luck.
The Asheville Citizen says Tues
day morning about 2 o'clock an ex-
ira log train, composed of six fat
loads and caboose, was coming in
over the Murphy branch.
The night was stormy and the
track was wet and slippery. The
train turned the hill, mile or moro
bey ond the junction of the Murphy
branch and the main line, at good
speed. But the engineer must have
miscalculated the power of his
brakes, for as soon as the down
grade was struck, the speed began
to increase. Brakes were blown for,
but that did no good and in few
moments the crew realized that the
train WAS running away.
Down the track came the heavily
loaded cars, at a rate never before
known on that lire. They all stuck
to the track until the junction was
reached just west Of the city. Some
of the trainmen say the train when
it struck the switch was running at
the rate of so or 60 miles an hour.
When this switch was reached at
2:10 a. m. the trouble began. The
encias, No. 134, left the rails but
s'u,-- 10 the ties. The six cars of
loss went down the embankment,
about fifteen feet high, into the fat
occupied by few houses, known as
Red Egypt. Two breakmen were
killed outright and others injured.

Comptroller Lacey in Disrepute.

A Washington, D. C correspondent
writes. Comptroller of the Cur1en-
cy Lacy is about at the end of his
official career. The Philadelphia
bank disasters and other bad failures
in different parts of the country had
alarmed the business and banking
interests. The fall Of the Maverick
National Bank, of Boston, last week
brought matters to a head, and a
flood of protests against Mr.. Lacey's
continuance in Office has poured in
on the president and secretary of
the treasury. A prominent banking
house of Chicago has written to Sec
retary Foster asking the method Of
procedure to change into private
bank, giving as the reason the fact
that Comptroller Lacey's conduct of
his Office has brought the entire
banking law under suspicion. The
business interests cannot be temper
lied with, and it is probable that the
President will appoint one to sue
ceed Mr.. Lacy in very short time.

SAM SNAIL ATTACKED.
His Eyeglasses Broken and One of
His Teeth Knocked Out.

Rev. Sam W. Small, the well

prietor who has recently been made
the object of some very harsh crlti-
cism by Mr.. Small
A special states that Small went

The New York LeStslMture.

The New York Legislature is Dem
ocratic in both houses, but the Re-
publican leaders are claiming the
Senate without good reason, it is
said. and working tooth and nail to
show the election of enough Of their
men TO give them control in that
branch. Three seats are in dispute
In one case a Republican who got q
majority Of votes is said to be ineli-
gible because he held a State Office
when elected to the Senate The
other two cases are cases of close
votes. In one of them it is said the
returns are being doctored to show
the election Of the Republican. Gov
ernor Hill, however, is of opinion
that The Democrats have carried
both the Senate and Assembly. 1.-THE
official count, he says, gives us a
plurality in both branches

McDOUGAL MURDER CASE.
The Trial Began this Morning at Fay
ettevilIe, N. c.

The famous McDougal murder case
came up at Fayetteville this morn
ing and the entire week will be devo
ted to the trial. The accused and
many of the witnesses arrived in
that city Saturday afternoon. A
special says McDougaI looks rather
haggard and careworn, and displays
little of the animation that once illu-
minated his face. The array of coun-
sci on both sides is strong and en-
braces some of the best talent in the
Cape Fear section. For the defense
there will be Maj. John D. Shaw, Sr.,
and John d Shaw. Jr., of Rocking
ham, Col. W. F. French and Capt.
w. e. Norment of Lumberton and J.
G. Moore and John e. Shaw, ESQ.,, of
Fayetteville On the prosecution,
there are Archie Neill, Archie Mclean
and Hon. Alfred Rowland of Lumber
ton, Walter FL. Neall, Esq, of Laur-
inburg and the prosecuting attorney
for the State, Frank Mcneil of Rock
ingham.
