OyerprOduction OF Cotton.

Southern planters in the Gotten beltare
greatly troubled over the low price at
which their staple is sold, and are dill
gently considering plans by which they
hope to reach and maintain higher prices.
The! fact is there is too much cotton;
that is, its production has increased to
point beyond the demand for cotton
goods.
The acreage planted in cotton has in
creased from 100000 acres before the
war to 100000 acres last year, and to
still larger planting this year. The
American product has increased 2S2 per
cent. since the war, while the cotton con-
sumption of the world has only increased
III per cent. In 1871 the average income
from an acre of cotton was S35.42; last
year it was only SOIL. The average
price per pound has fallen from twelve
and half cents in the decade from 1880
to 1890 to nine cents, which is all that is
offered now. 1t is evident that prices
must decline if this overproduction con-
tinues, and the increasing competition of
Indian and Egyptian cotton in the
English market contributes very mate
rally to the same result.
The cotton-growers Of the South will
show their wisdom at this juncturo by
giving no heed to the remedies and vis-
ionary schemes which tho cranks who
believe in the paternal duties and func-
tions of tho State are sure to propose.
Nothing will be gained by giving to the
State, in any shape, the control either of
tho production or Of the marketing of the
crop. These are things with which tho
State has no business to meddlo.
The only way in which tho evil can be
curod is by reducing production to the
limit of the demand. This will raise
prices and make them steady A case of
over production is analogous 90 tho case
of merchant who lays in stock of
goods far in excess of the demand for
them and then has to sell them below
cost in order to realize something. Both
methods lead to bankruptcy.
Tho wise policy for the Southern far
mcr to pursue is to ery his crop-to re-
strict his production Of cotton and to
increase his growth OF corn and other
cereals. lie should, in evory case, raiso
his own bread and meat. In every Sec
ton of the country diversified agricul-
turc is the most prosperous; and tho low
price of cotton this year will do some
good if it leads to Il greater variety of
crops in the cotton States. Washington

Deafness Can't be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one '.ay to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi'
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chan Tube. When this Tube gets in
famed you have rumbling solnd or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed condi
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that We cannot cure by taking Halls Ca.

Wo do not feel that our trip to Colum-
bia to attend the School Commissioners
meeting was in vain. We feel that
great good will result from the discus.
sions there had, and the information
gathered. In that meeting we had a
general exchange of views With reference
to tho work ne have in charge.
The price Of school books was consid.
cred at length, and while We do not
think the price agreed on by the State in
the adoption is so very unreasonable,
taking into count the quality of paper
and binding and general make up, still
We feel the demand made by the people
for lower priced books. In the near flu.
ture list of the books adopted by the
State, with the price agreed on, will be
printed on a card apd placed in every
school house. In the mean time We hope
to be able to make arrangements in every
County in the State to have these books
sold at the price agreed on. This ar
rangement we have made with Messrs.
George W. Fant & Son in this County.
But it is distinctly understood that this
price is for spot cash. No credit can be
given on these prices. This will be Civ.
ing our people all that can be obtained
under the present existing state of affairs.
It has been our purpose to place the peo.
pie in possession of all the facts, believ-
ing that if they know their rights they
will maintain them.
1t was also thought best to pay fixed
salary per month, and not according to
average attendance.
A resolution was adopted asking the
Legislature to repeal the law authorizing
the granting Of certificates on diplomas,
and thus requiring all, even graduates, to
stand the examination.
The question was also considered, but
left open until the next meeting, as to
how to lengthen the school term. Most
of them thought it was advisable to re.
quire, in some way, the patrons to sup.
plement the public fund with an equal
sum before opening the public schools.
This position was strongly endorsed by
Governor Tillman.
The meeting was an intensely inter.
esting one, and all present took deep
interest in it. A committee, consisting
of the School Commissioner of this
County as Chairman, State Superinten'
dent of Education, and the School Com.
missioner of Horny County, was appoint
ed to report back to the meeting the nee.
essary amendments to theschool law, and
suggestions as to the best method of run
ming the public schools.
This is the second meeting of the
School Commissioners held in Columbia
this year, and they purpose holding
another session before the Legislature
convenes. The country has not seen
since the war 80 much interest being
taken in the development of the common
schools and the cause of education gen.
orally. We feel like the time has come
when the people will not be without
schools, and good ones, too, in every
vicinity. This is proper spirit, and We
bid the people "God speed"

marked in Columbia by School Com
missioner that "there seems to be st

true this is. This is why the public
