News and Courier.


Great interest has been manifested
all over the commercial world concern
inc the acreage that the southern farm
ers would plant in cotton this season.
The prices last season were so low that
it was impossible to raise cotton with
out experiencing direct loss. The low
price was generally attributed to the
over-production of the staple, and last
fall from 81! quarters of the cotton belt
came the news that the farmers had
agreed to reduce their acreage. Several
conventions of planters were held and
all agreed that the supply of cotton was
fast exceeding the demand, and that in
order to obtain living prices for the
staple the crop must be considerably
reduced. Now that cotton planting
time has come, great interest is mani
tested in watching the action of the
farmers.
Knowing that this is question Of
vital interest to the planters in South
Carolina, the News and Courier has
had thorough canvass made of the
State, and is prepared today to give
accurate and trustworthy information
on the extent Of the reduction Of the
cottor acreage in this State. The in
vestigation has been prosecuted with
more than usual care. No vague
guesses are given, but in all cases the
estimates are based Oh the actions of the
farmers. In many instances the names
of the planters are given. The result
of this Investigation shows that in all
sections of the State there has been a
considerable reduction in the acrea &c
planted in cotton. In some sections it
will not amount to more than ) or 10
per cent. In others it is as high as 50
per cent, and in some instances large
farmers have not planted single cotton
seed. Taken altogether, it is probably
safe to say that the average reduction
for the State is about Is per cent.
A very gratifying feature of this new
Farmers Movement is that the acre
age taken from cotton is being given to
bread crops. The report comes from
every county that the largest crops Of
corn, oats, wheat, ect., are planted that
have ever been known. The acreage
in these crops as compared with last
year is considerably more tnan doubled.
All the farmers seem determined to
raise more bread and less cotton. A
| similar interest has been manifested in
regard to live stock. The reports that
come in of the condition Of the growing
grain is most encouraging. Every in
dication points to good crops and a
prosperocs season. King Cotton is
trem bling on his throne. His grasp on
the throats of the farmers of this State
is broken. This year the farmers of
South Carolina will make their own
hog and hominy, and will sell their
cotton as a money surplus.

IF the Revised Statutes constitutes the

of the Revised Statutes constitutes the
Attorney-General and Solicitors part
of the executive department. The
Lieutenant-Go is made part Of
the executive department, and yet the
only duties he performs as Lieutenant
Governor are of a legislative character,
to-wit presiding over the Senate and
casting a vote in case of tie. The Judges
themselves are invested with certain
executive powers, a Section II Of Ar
ticle of the constitution makes them
conselvators Of the peace. The same
principle obtains in the minor Offices,
County commissioner, coroner, etc. 1t
seems to me that the true criterion is,
whether the appointment Of the Gov
ernor constitutes you an officer capable
of exercising the functions of the judi
cial department.; and am Of the opin-
ion that it does not. The special case
which you are appointed to hear in
wolves duties which are merely trans
lent. occasional and incidental, and
does not make you an officer of the
judicial department, and therefore you
are incapable of exercising the func-
tions Of a judicial officer within the
meaning Of the Constitution. In every
definition given of the word office, the
features recognized as characteristic
and distinguishing are the manner of
the appointment and the nature of the
duties to be performed, and whether
such duties are continuing and per-
manent instead of OCCASIONAL or tenl-
porary. Your obedient servant,

The Battle of the Bands.
Special to News and Courier.

COLUMBIA, May 3.-Judge A. c.
Haskell, the brave and il!ustrious SOL
dier who was carried from the field at
Charlottesville on May 3, twenty-nine
years ago to-day, related d charming
anecdote Of the battle of Chancellors-
vile tonight before Survivors Associa-
ton. He read the well-known piece
about "Ihe Battle of the Bands" and
said it was not in the afternoon nor
after the battle, but On a dreary night
just before the conflict. His men were
wo-nclt, and to inspire them he called
up his band leader and told him to play.
He played "The Mocking Bird, a
favorite with the regiment, and the
Northern band replied with Annie
Laurie" Other bands joined in the
chorus. The Confederate bands played
"Dixie," followed with their yell. The
Northern bands played yankee
Doodle" which they greeted with
hurrahs. Then one Northern band
played Home, Sweet Home" Deep
silence ensued, broken only by sobs.
He then went On to describe the
famous battle of Charlottesville and
showed the magnificent generalship Of
Lee in planning anG Jackson n execut-
ing the defeat of Hooker's great army
of 10000, while Lees total force did
not amount to $4,000. He spoke of the
death of the gallant Col. Oliver Ed
wards, who was shot at this battle

Interesting to Ladies,

Dear Madam
Does your husband seem tired of
you, are you always peevish? Do you
and your husband have little spats now
and then? This is the case with most
married people; and the only way
you will ever live in perfect harmony
is to restore the sparkling eyes, rosy
checks, strength, vigor and playfulness
of girlhood; then your husband will
stick to you, like he did in your court
ship days, and not be seeking the So
ciety of other ladies.

works to encourage his men who were
entrenched behind them. Some eigh-
teen months before this, by stupid
mistake, Col Edwards was charged with
cowardice. He vas, of course, acquitted,
for there was no bravcr man in service.
On his dying bed he showed no fear OF
death, but expressed often the hope
that after his dealS cowardice would
not be linked with his name. He re-
lated an instance how Col. Edwards
carried a division in line of battle as
perfect as on dress parade under fire of
lS3 pieces of artillery.
Gen. Haskell also showed his cam
paign book in which he had noted
Jackson's last countersign and answer.

Northen and Tillman.
Augusta Chronicle.l
Attorney-Genera

Augusta Chronicle.J
The News and Courier states that
Governor Northen Will be renominated
by the Georgia Democrats without op-
position. 1t says that "he has made a
safe, conservative and satisfactory ex-
ecutive officer, and has won the good
opinion of all classes of people by the
faithful performance Of his official du-
ties. He was nominated and elected
two years ago as the special candidate
of the farmers, and he will be nomi-
mated and elected this year as the Gov
ernor of the whole people,"
The News and Courier wishes that it
could swap governors with Georgia;
not that it loves Georgia less, but South
Carolina more. The News and Courier
ought to thank its stars that it has as
honest and correct man as B. R. Till
man for governor. In place Of abusing
Governor Tillman and endeavoring to
bring his administration into disrepute
and contempt with the masses, the
News and Courier ought to hold up his
hands and be thankful that be has done
so veil.
In the matter of the governorship,
the News and Courier, and those who
trail with it, could have gone farther
and Jared worse than under the ad-
ministrntion of Governor Tillman who
has behind him the majority Of the
Democratic people of South Caro-
lima.
Quit your abuse of Governor Till
man and give him credit for the work
that be has done. That ne has made
mistakes is doubtless true, but that be
has honestly and uprightly governed
| the State, we have 10 question.
When we saw the political revolu-
ton comingin Georgia three years ago,
we said make way for the farmers.
Governor Northen has made splen-
did record. The press of the State has
sustained Linn. His administration
has been endorsed and he is recon-
mended for second term. 1t is proba-
ble that he will have no opposition. He
deserves this recognition and conf
dence at the hands of the Democratic
party.
The News and Courier and other
papers of South Carolina have de-
nounced Tillman and his followers
from the start. During the campaign
preceding his election, and during his
administration, Gov. Tillman has been
the constant object of attack. The Won
der is that new and untried man, a
farmer from the plow handles, should
have made so few mistakes.
Ben Tillman is an honest man and a
man Of ability. The News and Courier
and those who are fighting him might
Just as we'll make up their minds that
he and those who are with him have
come to stay, and that they are going
to rule in South Carolina politics for
many years to come. The News and
Courier ought to rejoice that the white
people are politically united and that
no Third Party demagogues and cranks
are menacing the integrity of Demo
cratic supremacy in South Carolina.

The Negroes Right to Stay.

Northwestern CHRISTIAN Advocate.
In Albany, n. Y, Professor jerks of Cor
nell University, lectured before the
university extension center, April z.
on the race problem. He said that
history and science seemed to show
that the negro Is on inferior race and inca
pable of advanced civilized self govern
ment. Professor jerks thinks the best
plan would be TO encourage the ne
gro to emigrate to the most fertile part of
Africa. The negro will presently begin
to think THAT advanced civilized gov
ernments" are rather OVERRIDING the matter
of encouraging" him to migrate Some
time before Professor Jenks's ancestors en-
igrated TO this country the negro was not
only encouraged but torcibly IN
duced to leave "a most fertile part
of Africa" and accept residence on
this continent. He has been here-the ne
gro. not Professor Jenks-for more than
two centuries. He has titled our soil,
been cheated out of his just
wages and has fortified the land with
his sweat and blood. This university
extension lecturer now makes about the
most heartless suggestion to which we have
listened. If there Is race on the cOnti-
nent that has an unquesti0nable right to
stay here 1t is the African negro. To SEEK
to encourage him to Migrate is almost
a. much a wrong as to attempt to make
him 20 by force.

suit for damages.
