Low PRICE OF COTTON.
An Interesting Letter on the Subject
PrictGd at Sylvania.

- Ssa AS y ~ aAAA-
SYLvANIA, Ga, Jan. 21.-George C.
Dixon Of Dover. in this county, writes an
interesting letter to the Telephone this
week on the much-discussed but still i'm
portant subject Of cotton planting. Mr..
Dixon refers 20 an old account book which
he kept In 1865 and makes comparisons be-
tween tsat and his account book OF last
year, after " hich he draws some interesting
conclusions
I'm 1868" he says. II find paid from S.
TO IS per month Tor farm hands; for day
labor from 80 80 30 cents, and for picking
cotton from 20 to 50 cents per hundred. In
1891 farmers paid for farm hands from IS TO
Sl2 per month, and in some instances as
high as sl5 per month; for day labor 50 TO
90 cents, and for picking cotton 80 bo IS
cents a hundred.
"ln 1888 cotton sold from "a TO % cents
corn 81 per bushel and syrup IS cents per
gallon. Present prices OF cotton 5H 10 z
cents, corn 80 cents per bushei, and syrup so
cents.
"In 1868 two pounds OF cotton weuld nav
for the picking Of 100 pounds, now 1t takes
over seven. Thirty-two pounds of cotton
would pay for months work Of $S, now
1t takes us pounds.
I'm 1868 one gallon of syrup made on the
farm would pay for the picking Of 1850
pounds OF cottOn-now II takes over two
gallons. In 1868 bushel of corn would
pay for the picking Of 200 pounds OF cotton,
now bushel only pays for the picking of
100 pounds.n
Mr.. Dixon thinks that the farmer himself
is TO blame TO great extent for the high
price OF labor when cotton is corresponinRlv
low-for, says he, "the farmer seldom
asks man what he will work for, but
states whst be will give-he'Cthe farmer
makes the price. and the hired man ac-
cepts."
In conclusion he has this word OF advice
for his brother farmers: "As long as cotton
sold fer 10 and IL cents advocated she use
OF commercial fertilizers, but at present
prices OF cotton IL is very doubtful that it
will pay. Cotton is she most expensive crop
We plant. and the deeper we cat it down the
less our expenses will be. do not mean 20
abandon the planting Of cotton altogether =,
but measure she crop by your own force.
Ses your crop for yourself and sons, II you
have any; IL not. set 1t for yourself Better
have all OF small crop than a claim on
large one. and have to pay It all out for
hired help"

MURDER OF THE BAnRgrrs

Sam Kendall Reported Arrested at
East Point.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 2l.-News reached
here this evening that Sam Kendall, a
negro, had been arrested by Marshal Mo-
Connell at Fast Point, six miles from here,
on the Atlanta aud West Point railroad.
He Is wanted, 1t is said, for the murder Of
the Barretts at Creswell II Is not believed.
however, by the Atlanta detectives and
those who have investigated the case that
Kendall is guilty. In fact the only evil
dence against him Is the testimony of Jerry
Holt. half witted negro. who says he saw
Kendall going toward Creswell Sunday
night, when the murder was committed.
THE ALLEGED DOZEN DETECTIVES.
1t has bean published here that not less
than dozen Detectives have been on
Kendall's trail. II such is the case, which
is very doubtful, the police department of
Atlanta kHows nothing about It, The only
reward ever offered was by ths state, and
this IN itself would not justify private de-
teotive in expondiug his time in working on
the case, consequently the dozen" muGt
have been working for glory. There are
hardly that many private detectives
In the state and few
must have been imported to make up the
number. Every one who is at all familiar
with the facts ridicules the idea that Kendall
committed the orime. Suspicion In the
first instance tixod upon an altogether diff
ferent person, and 1t Is not yet eradicatea
from the minds Of the people Unless addi-
tionRl evidence is forthcoming to implicats
Kendall in the crime which has not vet been
revealed the public will undoubtedly be in
sympathy with him.

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
The Point to be Raised by Gen. B F.
Butler in Their Behalf

butlSr n 4nelr belalf.
WAsHINGToN. Jan. 2L.-The cases of
Samuel Fielding and Michael Schwab, the
Chicago anarchists convicted OF completely
in the famous Haymarket riots, and now
confined in the Joliet penitentiary under
life sentence. commutei by the governor of
liAnols from death sentence, came up in
the United States supreme court shortly
after IL o'clock to-day for argument.
Zen. b. T. Butler Is one of
the counsel for the anarchists.
In the course Of his argument Attorney
General Hunt OF Illinois quoted from an
utterance Of Gen. Butler to the effect that
foreigners we're entitled TO no greater con-
sideration than American citizens, and not
so much 'lt they did not behave them
selves" This brought Gen. Butler 10 his
feet. saying: "What shall ask the court to
come to is that foreigners here
have, under treaties, exactly the same
rights that we have, but that
when the rights guaranteed by treaty to a
foreigner are brought in question he is en-
titled to adjudication through the courts of
the United States, and therefore that
federal question will come up in the
records" The Importance of this statement
Is that it shows the manner in which it is
expected to establish the jurisdiction OF the
United States supreme court and its right
to review the proceedings OF the state
courts

Three Important Changes-A Check
on Filibustering.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The code of rules
reported to the House to-day is that of the
Fiftieth congress, with three changes. One
is return to the rule in vogue prior to the
Forty-niDth congress, under which legisla-
tion on appropriation bills was permitted
whenin the interest Of retrenchment In
expenditures. Another limits the time
for the call of the states for the
introduction OF bills on suspension Mondays
to one hour. the object being TO check fiji
clustering by consuming suspension day in
the introduction OF bills. The third change
gives TO a report from the rules committee
fixing the time for consideration and vot-
ing on any measure the parliamentary
status now accorded to a motion to suspend
the rules, viz: That only one motion to ad-
1ourn can be made before the question is
put on motion to suspend the
rules aud adopt the report.
The purpose OF this amendment
is TO check dilatory mouions. There was no
minority report. The minority members
will content themselves with urging the
adoption Of the rules OF the last congress
when the subject Genes before the House.
The majority presented no argument in
their report. The full committee on rules
met this morning before the House assem-
bled, in Speaker Crisp's room at the Metro
politan hotel, where the above action was
finally agreed upon.
