LIGHT BREAKS ON THE FARMERS.
New Methods and New Crops Engage
The Attention of Darling>
ton Planters.

DARLINGTON, S. C.-The farmers are
beginning to make inquiries conccring
the advances for the year, but
the applications are not very numer.
Gus yet. Credit will be harder to get
than Tor many. years past, and It. is diff
cult to say what arrangements fornos will
be able to make who will absolutely re.
qulre advances to make their crop on.
Ii they are reasonably sure of making
certain number of bales of cotton the
merchants will have no reasonable GER
talnty OF what the market price of cot
ton will be, and in the present condition
OF ailairs 1T is safe to say that advances
Will be hard to get. The farmers show
decided inclination to reduce the acre
agc OF cotton, but no plan of action has
yet been decided on. The idea has been
formally and informally discussed, and if
any plan for concert OF action eau be ar
ranged the cotton acreage will be very
decidedly reduced. 1t will be reduced
whether definite plan bc settled or not,
as the farmers all show decided purpose
TO plant less cotton than ever before.
Tobacco will BE- very largely planted,
and, as the cultivation of this crop is no
longer an experiment, but OH established
success, we confidently expect this val
uablc plant to become one of our staple
tant crop with our farmcTs, Ihh Ihhffh sru rtun1GDr-
age is increasing yearly. Small grain
crops are planted moro largely every
year, aud some euterprising and progress
sivc farmers are seriously considering the
advisability of planting broom corn.
The News and Courier gave valuation in-
formation conccripg the cultivation of
tobacco, and the recent articles recon-
mending the culture of broom corn, and
the figures given, are attracting the at
tention of our thoughtful planters.
Truck farming has become more OF
business since the establishment of the
Champion Canning Company, and one
very large truck farm will he planted
this year. the land being situated very
nc the Champion Canning Company's
works and also convenient to the ship
oping facilities of the Charleston, Stump
ter and Northern road.

"A SILVER BoxBsHELL.
Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, Main
tains that Frea Silver Coinage
10 Already the Law
of the Land,

OF the Land.
WASHINGTON, ID. c. Senator Stewart,
>oi Nevada, added new feature to tho
silver question by the introduction of
resolution founded on tho proposition
that the holders ct silver bullion arc en-.
titled under an existing law never re
pealed, so far as the Senator can ascer-
tain, to the free coinage of silver. The
resolution Is as follows:
Whereas, bv the Nth section Of an
Act approved January Is, 1887. it is pro.
vided that gold and silver bullion brou Int
to the mint for coinage shall he received
and coined by the proper officers for tho
benefit Of deposition;
And whereas, by Act approved Janu.

) S7otize the c5shage o: ylMEssnuSssisSlas
vcr' dolaar, and to restore the legal ten.
sdcr character" it is enacted "that there
shall be coined at the several mints of the
United States silver dollars of the weight
of four hundred and twelve and a half
grains Troy of standard silver as provid-
cd in the Act of January lS, 1897, on
which shall bc devices aud subscriptions
provided in said Act" Therefore be it
Resolved, That the committee ON the
Judiciary be, and it is hereby. inst iructcd
t. inquire If any further legislation is
necessary TO make it the duty of tho
proper officers of tho mint TO receive and
coin silver bullion for the benefit of dc
positors.
When asked what was the meaning of
his icsoluti II, Senator Stewart said: "It
is provided in the Act Of 1897 that gold
and silver bullion brought to the mint
for coinage shall be received and coined
by the proper officers for the benefit Of
the depositors There is no o'hcr mode
or manner provided for coinage in that
Act. The Bland Act of 1873 rcvvcs the
silver bullion FOR rffe nr,thast ca c4a,HpIt6af
tors. The requirement that officers Of
the mint shall coin silver bullion for dc
positors as provided in the Act of 1897
is uncquivocal. That Act makes il their
duty to so. The Act of 1887 also tre.
scribcs devices and subscriptions TO bo
impressed upon the silver dollar. The
officers of the mint did not hesitate to
follow that Act as to such devices and
supcrscriptions. Why they have not Ie.
ccivcd and coined silver us prescribed in
tho Act remains mystery The omis.
sion to enforce this provision of the law
is unaccountablc. 1t appears to have
been overlooked by all parties myself

law, fearing that there might be some
other provision repeating, suspcnding or
