News and Courier.

In a recent interview in the Atlanta
Constitution Mr.. R. T. Nesbitt, the
Georgia commissioner Of agriculture,
asserted that recent experiments had
shown that "where land has been prop
er!y treated" yield of one bale OF
cotton can be made at a cost OF 81 cents
a pound. AS authorities for the state
ment Commissioner Nesbitt named
Col. R. J. Redding, director of the
Georgia Experiment Station, and Col.
Felix Corput, of Floyd County, lone
of the most active and successful farm.
ers in the State, and a business man OF
large experience" The statement Of
cost was challenged by Mr.. S. NJ. In
man, on account of its probable effect
on the cotton market, and he suggested
that "some of the items of cost must
have been left OUT and asked for the
figures so that they could be tested by
the experience of others.
Commissioner Nesbitt in replying
first reminds his correspondent that,
in his original statement, he had said
that "it is only after years of prepara-
ton Of the land by other crops that
cotton can be produced at the low fig
ure of three or four cents" and then
gives Col. Corput's statement in detail,
which is substantially as follows:

Declined the Passes.

The presentation by Sir Edwin Ar
mold of the manuscript of meritorious
and intrinsically valuable poem to the
Lotos club recalls an incident that
marked the visit of Henry Irving to this
city in 1889. Like Sir Edwin, Mr.. Irving
had been an honored guest at Lotos
club banquet. The enthusiasm Of the
lotos eaters is boundless and their hospi-
tality is proverbial. Sir Edwin, in the
enthusiasm of the moment, presented
the club with the manuscript Of poem
for which he had been offered large
sum of money. Mr.. Irving, after enjoy
ing the hospitality of the club, insisted
on presenting each member with an an
nual pass to the Lyceum theater, in Lon
don. The limitless possibilities of such
presentation impressed certain mem
bers of the club to such an extent that
they undertook the task of prevailing
upon each member to send note declin-
ing the proffered favor Mr.. Irving's
impulsive generosity was thereby saved
from very expensive consequences. -

And should my spirit, from the clay,
Go dreaming out the heavenward way,
Or thence DO softly borne,

With that blest anthem, oft rehearsed,
Behold the bonds Of Death are burstl"
Lest / should faint with fear.
But let some happy bird. at hand,
The silence break;
So shall dimly understand
That dawn has touched blossoming land,
And sigh myself awake.

To lift the head
And see the bath flowers bell of snow.

Will all suffice. No otherwhere

Till some blithe wanderer, passing fair.

As one familiar with the skies,
Who finds and need not seek.

THE Sherman register thinks that
Hogg's defeat would be a blessing to
the state. This opinion seems to be
quite prevalent in North Texas, and
there are other sections of the state
that share in that opinion. While this
is so 1t is not very probable that Hogg
will be selected to succeed himself.
But 1t is mighty hard saying what a
state with such a beastly democratic
majority is likely to do. II
q democratic congress with $50 ma
jority can make such an ass of itself
as this present congress has done,
