RAISE LESS COTTON,

The cause of the low price of cot
ton is agreed to on all sides as a
consequence Of an immense increase
OF acreage during the past year.
Many tenants, as well as landlords,
are holding their cotton for better
prices.
Now let the edict go forth from
the highest alliance authorities in
the southern states to all the sub
alliances urging that the acreage in
cotton for the present year be re-
duced at least Is to 20 per cent,
and the acreage in food crops be
proportionately increased. A COM
bined action of this sort would be
almost certain to raise the price of
cotton from two to four cents. per
pound by the first of May, and every
farmer who can hold his cotton this
long would get the advantage of it.
1t would of course raise the price
for the present year in proportion
ate degree.
This is work which the alliance
only can perform, and that it can
perform it successfully, provided 1t
considers this course a remedy tor
the present low price of cotton,
which is running the farmers of the
country, there is no question in the
minds Of those who are familiar with
its workings.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

The attitude Of the medical pro-
fession toward what is known as
"patent medicines is not at all un-
reasonable. Thousands of these
nostrums are offered to the public
every year. Some OF them are dan
gerous, and most of them are futile.
Switt's Specific Is. s. S., we are all
glad to say, is not classed among
these nostrums, 1t has overcome
the wholesome prejudices of physi-
clans in all parts OF the country, and
some of the strongest testimonials in
its behalf come from medical men
who have used it in their practice,
and who do not hesitate to endorse
Its wonderful results. This is ex-
tremely gratifying, but by no means
astonishing, for every claim that is
put forward in behalf of S. SIS. is
based on series of actual expert
ments extended over long period
of time.

Southern Cultivator.

A wise man will look we'll after
the material resources from which
he must draw his support. Every
business has its special capital and
it must be wisely guarded if its in
crease is satisfactory and profitable.
Every business has main resources,
and afterwards minor interests. In
neglecting minor interests, material
resources become thereby involved
and business failure is the result.
The main resource of the farmer
is his land. 1t should be as we'll
and carefully guarded, and prudeuc G.
ly drawn upon as the banker guards
and cares for his capital in money.
The banker does not let out his cap
ital into the hands of irresponsible
parties. Farmers too often pnt their
lands out to the management and
absolute control of such labor as be-
gin its destruction and waste at the
very first lick they hit it. The mer,
chants main resource is in his goods.
He takes care of them. lie has
them carefully handled, 80 they
may not become shop worn. When
his customers apply for them he in
quires what security they will give
for the use of his resources. An ig-
norant negro applies for the use OF
some of the farmers land, his main
resource. He gets it without let or
hindrance. He plows it up hill and
down hill works it when it makes
mud, treads it with stock at all un-
favorable seasons of the year, and
then returns it without profit in
crops, barren, bald waste. Every
where, in all the states, this is the
way farmers should husband their
resources like other business men.
The land as capital should be i'm
proved every year and not wasted.
10 do this it must be put under the
management of careful and iutelli.
gent labor, properly worked and at
the proper time, and in the proper
condition. TO do otherwise is de-
liberate, and wanton and wicked
waste. Its fertility should not be
destroyed by continued succession
OF the same crops, nor it's strength
allowed to waste by washing. Use
every possible means to husband
your laid and as the main resource
of farm. Out of it must come the life
and happiness of the home; educa-
ton and sus.enance of the little peo-
pie and the material prosperity of
the State. At all hazards, take
care of your land.

That 10 if this Alleged Scheme to Oust
Brice Docsn't Miscarry.


COLUMBUS. June 19.--It ia now said that the
apparent harmony between Sherman and
Foraker In the Republican State Convention
was brought about by m understanding be-
tween the leaders OF both factions that. should
the Republicans elect majority Of the nom.
bers OF the Ohio Legislature this fall. Sher-
man and Foraker are both to be elected United
Station Senators. This Is to be accomplished
by not allowing Calvin s. Brice to take the
seat 10 which he was elected.
The plan is for the Ohio Legis' ature to dc.
clare that Mr.. Brice is not citizen OF Ohio. but
that he is now and was when cleo ed Senator
. citizen OF New York.
The Legislature will then request the United
States Senate to have the Committee on PIiv-
ileGes and Electione Investigate Mr.. Brice's
citizenship. Tho exrectation is that the Sem
ate will find that Mr.. Brce Is q citizen OF New
York and that his election was invalid. thus
giving the next Ohio Legislature an oppor-
tunty to elect two Senators or course. the
lower House Of Congress. with its 15O Demo-
cratic majority. might retaliate and throw out
few Republicans.
There is no doub: that some scheme 10 afoot
