Their journals are praising our new

ASSESSED VALUE OF PROPERTY
A GREAT INCREASE IN THE YEAR 1891
OVER THE YEAR 1890.

OVER THE YEAR 1890.
Despite the financial troubles of 1891 and the
consequent depression throughout the world,
the increase in the assessed value of property in
the south was greater than in any year preced-
ing since the war The gain in 1890 over 1889
was s270 oO0,000, the largest increase in any one
year up to that time but the gain in 1891 over
1890 was 320,C00,0O0. Every state shows large
gain, Texas leading with s72.0O0,000 The in
crease in Maryland was S33C00,000, Virginia

SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.
A Word From Cotton Factor.

Several well-known cotton men Of
St Louis were interviewed in regard
to the low price of cotton. Said Mr.. n.
III. Senter:
The whole situation may be expressed in the
word ''overproduction." The planters of the
south are raising too much cotton They
ought to diversity their crops, raise less cotton
more corn and more live stock. They would do
well to allow portion of their land to lie fall
low for time; it would do the soil good to
rest or it might be utilized in pasturing
stock. The production of cotton ought to be
decreased at least % per cent. 1
think the cotton merchants of the
country will soon take steps to urge
upon the planters through the medium Of
the press the necessity of turning their land to
other uses beside the raising Of cotton. At 7l4
cents it does not pay the planter. Last year at
this time the price was S9i cents, and during the
panic, or depression, rather. it only dropped
to 7Ss cents. l think cotton factors and the
press ought to unite in an appeal to the common
sense Of the planter not to raise that which does
not command its value in the market, or price
that will yield him profit on his investment OF
land, labor and material.

CoCHrsE COUNTY never looked so prosperous from q mining stand point as it does to-day. From every mining district, from the Huachuca mountains on the south, to the Chiricahua range on the north, comes the same fatter- ing report. In Tombstone district there is more silver being produced than at any time for five years pas'. To be sure the low grade properties are closed down but the owners have turned their attention to high grade ores, and the result Is that the pro auction of the precious metals has in creased fully 50 De, cent in the past three months. The gold properties throughout the county are showing a great activity. That mining boom with back bore to it, is upon us, Is plain to everyone who cares to look upon matters in their true light.

started on his memorable trip around the
world. More than $4,000 people saw the
Indiana off. Another boat, the Missouri,
will also start shortly for Libau, freighted
with the gifts of the people of the great
west. She is expected to carry 1850, O00
pounds of flour.
Until the food, which will mean life to
thousands, shall have reached Russia the
unfortunate there will have to continue to
subsist on the aims which. under the direc
ton of Count Tolstoi and his two estimable
daughters, are asked from door to door
and personally distributed in a public
place by the venerable phiIanthropist
This undertaking on the part of the Toll
stois, which was originally sneered at, is
now aided by many ladies of the highest
families of Russia, and as a result thou
sands of persons have been saved from
actual starvation. The horrors Of this
gaunt monster are no strangers to Russia,
but so long as the country shall continue
to produce Tolstois there is little danger OF
another general famine accompanied with
very great loss of life. The fact that the
car is said to look with great favor upon
the work of the count and all other kindred
enterprises for the present amelioration of
the condition of his suffering subjects, is
probably responsible in great measure
for the remarkable interest taken in the
relief committees efforts by those of pa
trician blood who have hitherto held aloof.
