Ii is bad year for agriculturists in
the South; bad because they have too
much Of their great staple, cotton. The
immense crop has forced the price
down very low. Many Of the cotton
raisers mortgage their crops in advance
to pay TOR groceries and dry goods. Ii
is bad plan, but it is survival OF
the old times that cannot be uprooted
save through misery and Inconvenience.
But this year the suffering planters
may think seriously Of the advice that
was given to them As far back as l848
by one of their own men. 1t was that
instead of running all the productive
energies Of the soil into cotton and cot
ton alone, they should diversity their
productions. First Of all they should

South might well vie with the North in
the wool and mutton industry. Sheep
could be raised at probably half the ex-
pense they can in the North. In many
parts almost no shelter al all would be
required III winter. Tood - dDuhudht.
The waste products Of thc cotton crop
could 90 into food for the sheep. They
would moreover give change and rest
to the worn out fields of the older cot
ton States. Nothing could be worse
than the condition Of many Of the cot
ton growers this year. Let them min
Ole wool with their cotton and see III
the change will not be for the better.
The census shows that this United
States is becoming more and more a
mutton eating country, although there
are proportionally no more mutton
heads than there ever were.

Political Points.

A third party meeting was held in
Long Creek township, Mecklenburg
county, last Saturday. The Charlotte
Netcs says: About fifty people Were
present. Some were radicals, some
prohibitionists, some third party, and
some Democratic spectators. The
meeting whereased and resolved at
length, to the effect that if the Demo-
cratic conventions endorsed all their
demands, well and good; il not, they
were for the third party.
The Burlington Herald says it is
glad to know that the Third party is
defunct in AIamance county at lea,t,
and SAYS: 1--WE have been loath TO be
lieve that the Alliance in conservative
Alamance would split off from the
sound old party. We hear that some
Of the staunchest men in the Alliance
Jumped on the Third partyites when
they introduced their idea in their re
cent meeting in Graham, and fairly
stamped the life out of them and their
pet measure. We should like to clap
these sturdy sensible old farmers cr
the shoulder and say, We'll done !.
We have had hopes that when the
issue came these men would not b'
found wanting in decision"

The Trial of RaVachOI and His Ac-
complices-Great Excitement.
By Cable to the State Chronicle.
PARIS, April 26.-The trial of An
archist Ravachol was begun this morn
ing in the Zeine assize court. There
was great excitement and the jurymen
and all connected with the court
showed signs of nervousness and appre-
hension. After the indictment had
been read, charging Ravachol with
various bomb-throwing outrages, he
admitted his full responsibility for the
Clichy outrage. Ravachol is being
tried at the same time with Simon,
Beal, Chaumartin, and Rosalie Sou
bere. Ravachol throughout maintain
ed an aspect of impassiveness,
and addressed his utterances directly
to Judge Cues, who presided, and the
jury. The centre of the court room
was covered with the apparatus al
legged to have been used by the alleged
dynamiters. Ravachol, in reply to
questions asked by the judge, cody
claimed that he was the author of the
explosion. When asked his motive, he
said he had been reused to indignation
by the condemnation of Perret, the
anarchist. Judge Benoist and the prose-
cutor ought not to have demanded
the death penalty for men who were
fathers of families. The police also
had bitterly maltreated his comrades
who had been arrested. He had there
fore resolved upon vengeance. Rava-
chol then boasted that he had
personally loaded bombs which
he exploded in the Rue St. Germain
He placed sixty dynamite cartridges in
it. He dressed himself well and gain
ed entrance to Judge Benoist's house
unnoticed. He deposited the machine

In the criminal court at Wilmington
Tuesday the trial of the ex lawyer
John G. Davis was continued.
Many witnesses were examined, One
of them, Mr.. Marsden Bellamy, testi-
fed: II became attorney for several
people Davis had swindled; saw him
about three times day; knew him a
long time; thought he was a keen,
shrewd business man; had no idea
whatever he was insane now or ever
was; saw him in Jail in January; think
any man that can clothe himself in

clothe himself in the garb Of insanity.

The Alliance refuses generally to

some of the Alliance leaders have be-
come unpopular by attempting to pro-
mote this movement to the extent of
disintegrating the Democratic party.
Such attempts are causing many good

Heated COllOquy.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
WAsHINGToN, April 26.-The spe-
cial pension office investigating COM
mittee Of the House after recess since
Sunday last, continued its sessions to-
day. The proceedings were without
unusual incident until commissioner
Raum took the stand. Gen. Ram
was handed a copy of a newspaper Of
April 10, which contained an interview
with him concerning various features
connected with the investigation.
Gen. Raum said the facts as reported
were substantially correct Mr.. En-
loe questioned Gen. Raum in regard
to statement made to him Mr.. En-
loe) in private conversation about
his (Raum's) sending money to man
named Foote at Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Mr.. Raum denied telling Mr.. Enloe
that he furnished the money, and said
he did not know whose money
it was, but he knew it wasn't his.
Mr.. Enloe repeatedly asked Gen. Raum
if he did not make the statement to
him, Gen. Raum, each time, making
an emphatic denial. Mr.. Enloe, in
clear, ringing tones, told Gen. Raum
that he was liar, and without mo-
ment's warning, sprang to his feet and
reachingfor the sponge glass on the table
drew back as if to throw it at Gen.
Raum, the latter rising from his chair.
Representative Cooper, who sat directly
behind Mr.. Enloe, sprang between the
two and took hold of the Tennesseean
and demonstrated with him. Mr.. En-
loe appeared to be in passion and
made an attempt to reach Gen. Raum,
who stood beside his chair. Raising
his arm above his head, in gesture,
Gen. Raum addressed Mr.. Enloe, say
ing that the man did not live whom he
feared Enloe or anybody else.
While several parties in Mr..
Enloe's neighborhood were quieting
him, Gen. Raum picked up his hat and
Indignantly left the room. Judge
Wheeler, chairman of the committee,
called to Gen. Raum not to 60 away,
as he would be protected. Judge Pay.
son remarked that from the state ol
affairs, it did not look like it. During
the exciting scene, the members sal
quietly in their seats, watching the
two men, and Judge Payson smiled
benignly at the hole affair. When quiet
was restored, the matter was discussed
by the chairman and the committee
Mr.. Enloe complained of the manner
Of Gen. Raum in answering his ques
tions-pronouncing it as insulting
Judge Payson said it was not, the Gen
eral simply answering the repeated
queries of Mr.. Enloe; he Mr.. Pay
sony saw nothing insulting in Genera
Raum's manner toward Mr.. Erloe
Some one asked that Gen. Raum b,
required to return to the room. Th'
chairman. however, thought, under tn
circumstances, it could not vel
be done, and added that Gen
eral Raum was before the committe
as witness and was entitled to til
. same respect and courteous treatmen
as any other witness who appeared
Mr.. Enloe still contended that Ger
Raum's manner was insulting. Som
one moved an adjournment, which wa

ner. There should be no pars;mony
or extravaganza in our foreign affairs,
but justice and fairness should char
acerize the House in dealing with this
question. Mr.. Hit, Of Illinois, depre-
Gated the short-sightedness of the com
mlttee in reporting bill which Topped
OFT many important consulates and
materially crippled the service. The
salaries paid to some of our consuls
were niggardly in the extreme. The
worth Of diplomatic or consular officer
was not measured by the compensation
paid him. He was employed to pro-
tect American citizens, and American
interests. This could only be done by
maintaining our consulates upon a
proper basis, and make the personnel
creditabie to our nation, which would
guard our interests, protect our seamen
and promote our diplomatic relations.
Mr.. Chapman addressed his remarks
to the Chinese question, and said that
we had a perfect right to abrogate a
treaty, and in this instance it was our
duty to do so. The condition of our
latoring classes was somewhat alarm
ing and the importation of Chinese
labor was a detriment to the country.
We could not deprive a man of his
property, and that was being done by
allowing the immigration of Chinese
labor. Mr.. Post, of Illinois, advocated
proper and just expenditures for the
foreign service, and deprecated the par

He then managed the explosion in
the Rue Clichy in the same way, but
in that case, the powder had become

the explosion would be instantaneous.
Nevertheless, he did not hesitate to
risk his life and it turned out that he
had time to escape uninjured. Rava-

should the law spare either Ravachol

the public may put an end to

arrested, is still living. He is in a
critical condition and the doctors
hardly dare to express hope Of his

To be Prosecuted for Treason.

BY Cable to the 5 tate Chronicle.
BERLIN, April 26.-The govern
ment is making active preparations to
prosecute several of the anarchists now
under arrest on the charge of treason,
this charge being based on the circu-
lation of an anarchist organ, autonomy,
published in London, which in almost
every number instigates its readers to
revolution. 1t is said that thousands
of copies have been sent to Germany
and that large numbers have been
found in the possession of the accused.
