WHAT EUROPE THINKS,
Importers Think Our Cotton Must
Be Reduced to Three Cents.
From Rome, Ca, Herald and Tribune.

From Rome, Ca, Herald and Tribune.
Below we give an extract from
letter from an extensive importer of
cotton on the contine Mt to Rome cot
ton firm. 1t should be read and pom
dered we'll by every one interested in
the improvement of Southern fnan-
cial conditions:
II fear you will be mistaken as to
the future of cotton. The same be.
longs to Europe to dictate the price to
your farmers, as the whole commerce
of cotton is sick and the speculative
power is lessened day by day just as
well in Europe as in America, to the
end to go out of the article altogether
With another crop of 100000 bales
your farmers will get 4 cents for
mlddling cotton next season !;
and with 100000 bales they will get
3 cents. This may at this moment
look ridiculous; but just as ridiculous
would it have looked a year ago to
state that middling orleans cotton
would sell in New Orleans at IL
cents, which will give about 5 IL
cents to the farmer. There is no be.
lief here in the curtaiment of the
planting, with the exception, perhaps,
of some of the Atlantic states. 1t
wants several years to impoverish
your cotton planters to such an ex-
tent they will go to the diable, and
this we shall see In the coming years,
which will be just as bad for the
farmers as they are ow all interested
in the staple.
The pity is that nobody gains any,
thing In the present state of affairs;
neither the spinner, nor the farmer,
nor the merchant. With crop of
100000 bales your farmers would
get 10 cents, but the reduction can
not be brought about by artificial
measures; but it wants cents for
middling to bring about better state
of affairs"
This letter clearly shows how the
world winks at our folly. And the
fearful condition it hints at receives q
powerful emphasis every day right
here in Rome where cotton is selling
at price below the cost of produc
tiOn.
The farmers OF this region will
doubtless follow the course of wisdom
and cut down the crop

SAID TO Be AN ACCIDENT.
THE SHOOTING OF BROWN py
TINSLEY.
Tinsiey's Statement Corroborated
by an Eye witness to the Affair.
An UnfortunateiMatt which The
News Hopes May be Satisfactory
Adjusted.

THE NEWS Reporter who wrote up
the account of the shooting of young
Brown by Gus Tinsley, in Justice to
the latter desires to state that the
witness, Bud Amos, who alone saw
the accident says that the shooting
was wholly accidental and that imme.
diately after the unfortunate occur.
renee Tinsley threw up his hands and
said he wor d not have had it occur
for the word, that i; was an accident
al discharge OF the gun.
Further investigation shows the
gun to have been one Of defective
construction which had on severs' oc.
casions been accidentally discharged
in "breaking" it, as the action is term
ed when the barrels are opened for
the taking out or putting in the car
tridges.
Bud Amos states positively, and re-
peated his statement to several per.
sons that Tinsley, Brown and he
(Amos) were going out into a pasture,
that Tinsley took the gun along, that
he stated after starting that he had
forgotten that the gun was
not loaded, that Brown
would accommodate him by
going back to the house
after cartridges, that Tinsley had a
short while before passed around
cigarettes for the party. Brown went
back to the house for cartridges and
returning had reached within a few
feet of Tinsley when the latter took
the gun in both hands-by the breach
with one hand and by the barrels
with the other-and "broke' it pre-
paratory to receiving cartridges from
Brown; that in the act of "breaking'
the gun it was discharged with the
painful and perhaps fatal result al
ready reported. In justice to Gus
Tinsley the reporter gives the state
ment, as the same comes from the
only eye witness, and trusts that il
will be understood that the previous
report was given honestly as he hac
then learned. The statement coming
alone from Tinsley, he being deepl!
interested in. the present attitude o
the case, might be considered CUES
tionable, but coroborated by Buc
Amos, the disinterested witnes s
the whole aspect of the mis-
chance is charged. The reporter de
sires to DO full justice by giving the
correct version of the affair as told b,
Amos and corroborated by Tinsley.

POTATOES.
THEIR CARE AND CULTIVATION.
The BEST Way TO OBTAIN
SEED PoTAToFs.


SEED PoTAToEs.
The potato when first obtained
from its native mountains was q
small. watery, and even bitter tn.
her. BY cultivation it has been
brought into SO high and refined a
state that most Of the countries OF
the civilized globe look at it as one
Of the most important articles OF
food. How has this great change
been brought about ? How has
every one who has planted the po-
tato assisted in refining it Gen.
Grafton after generation has ADOPTED
the same treatment which has
wrought this change.
The natural place for potatoes 10
in the earth, but most of those
which are used for planting are out
of the ground from five to seven
months in the year. When they
are dug in the Fall we find them il
matured when baked or boiled to
be dry and mealy. They are gem
orally put into cellars to remain
until Spring. As warm weather
approaches they are often removed
to some outbuilding to remain sew
eral weeks, which renders them less
fit to grow. Out of this outbuild-
ing are selected the potatoes for
seed. Everyone who has ever no.
ticed the difference between the
flavor of potatoe in the Fall when
first dug, and one in Spring which
has been kept in large dry cellar,
has observed that the flavor becomes 8
more impaired-much more SO than
those which are buried in holes In
the earth, where they retain nearly
all Of their freshness and vitality.
hehfg hgS wkSn klSn have haser shgri shgrfirE6aa raE6aa ttofsg
nient cellars keep their potatoes in
better condition than those who
keep them in large cool ones.
Hence, by storing them in the lat
ter and letting them wilt before
planting, they become weakened in
their nature and are subject to de
generacy and finally to disease.
In order to obtain good potatoes
for seed, make choice of q small
spot of arabic land on which water
will not stand-an eastern slope
and new ground are the best-plow-
ed early in the Spring and furrow-
ed four or five inches deep, two and
one-half feet apart. Select mid
dling-sized potatoes which have
touched the ground during the win
ter previous, but do not cut them.
Drop one every eight inches along
the burrows and cover them by FILL
ing the burrows with earth. Then
cover them with a top-dressing OF
forest leaves or straw two inches
deep. AS soon as the tops of the
young plants are two inches high,
pass between them with shovel.
plow, follow with hoe destroying
the weeds and leveling the ground
do not hill. This is all you have
to do until Fall. When the ground
begins to freeze cover with straw,
chaff, or forest leaves, six inches
keep to keep them from frost.
Your potatoes will now have chancs
to ripen and rest during the Win.
