The Cotton Acreage.

The state agricultural society in session
at Augusta unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton Thursday advising feriuers To plant
less cotton and To give more attention to
food crops. For several years the state
agricultural society has been urging the
farmers to diversity their crops, and tbs
advice is being acted upon by q very large
percentage OF the farmers in this state.
With meat as high as it IS at present and
the prospect that the price of cotton would
be very low II q large acreage should be
planted, IL would be folly for farmers 20
devote ali their time aud capital to the pro-
duction of cotton.
The last cotton crop was a small one COM
paratvely and consequently good prices
are being obtained for cotton. It is evil
dent. however. that the supply is yet fully
equal to the demand. II the acreage planted
this year should not be greater than it was
last year the price Of cotton will be suffi-
GENTLY high to compensate farmers for any
reduction in the volume of their crop they
may make.
There Is no profit in cultivating cotton
when it commands only or cents a
pound. What, then. Is the use Of producing
more than the world wantsi II the farmers
will produce only enough to supply the de-
mand they will find the cotton crop a
profitable one. The action of the state
agricultural society in this matter will have
a good effect.
The agricultural society Is also interested
In the dirsos trade movement. Direct trade
will help the farmers as well as people en-
gagged in other occupations. While the
agricultural society cannot do much di-
rectly to aid the movement, its moral sup.
port is great deal in its favor.

On an Arch ofJce

London Knowledge prints the following from
the pen OF Justice Wills; 81 was descending
the glacier d'Orny with friend and two guides:
we were still on the neve, and noticed a thing
which looked like dark patch on the ice at a
short distance from us. l said should like to

ton OF continuing Ia the rope, which We had

and lay down to look into it, As soon as NV
eyes got accustomed to the comparative dark
ness into which was gazing. | saw to my hor-
ror that we were all OF lis on the crown of an
arch of ice which from side to side was il NV
recollection serves me. some thirty yards across
and which, at the top and at the very spot on
which was lying, was not more than foot or

Another Silver Idea,

A Montana man, named Kinman, has
written q letter Co the Butte City Miner, in
which he proposes unique panacea for the
silver trouble. He says that in q short time
there will be introduced in the legislature
Of Montana bill to establish q mint and to
provide for the free coinage of Montana's
silver product This mint is to turn out
Montana silver dollars of the standard
weight and fneness of the Bland silver dol
lars, and 1t is also to make half dollars
quarters and dimes. That beats state banks
and sub-treasuries as q means of increasing
the circulating medium. 1t beats the gov
ernmenrs slow way Of settling the silver
question. 1t beats the Dutch"
Mr.. Klnman does not spprehend any
trouble about making his Montana money.
He is well aware Of the constitutional pro-
vision that "tho congress shall coin money
and regulate the value thereof ;" but he pro-
poses that Montana shall take the bit in
her teeth" and run away with the constltu-
tion, 30 to speak. He does not propose that
United States money shall be coined, but
state money, and thus he escapes the law
against counterfeitinR. As to the making
OF state money, near MIN: ~ mere never
was a valid law without penalty attached
for its intractlon. In the case now at Lar
there Is no penalty. The constitution of the
United States forbids the states coming
money, but the states can do as they please
about 1t, and in case they choose to coin
money the United States has no means of
preventing them. The supreme court might
serve an injunction on the state, but in case
it was disregarded 1t could not punish the
state for contempt X If Montana
chooses 20 coin her silver product the United
States government has no legal method by
which she can be prevented"
1t may be little difficult TO fix Mr.. Kin.
mans politics, but it is plain that he is
philanthropist. He desires TO relieve every
body interested in the question of money
and has formulated just the plan to do it.
There is no doubt, in his mind that the
scheme Is feasible, and just as easily accom-
plished as falling of a log. 1t may be in
violation Of the constitution. But what Of
thatl Smash the constitutions; dash the
constitution AnnIhilate anything and

and legis lature-made millennium. And

Lamar's "Oolly Warden" Talk.

On one occasion Justice Lamar, then a prac-
ticing attorney in Mississippi, was engaged in a
very celebrated and important case which had
been appealed to the supreme court. He was
again the guest of Judge Wharton, who noticed
that ne was devoting great study to the case
IL was announced that Mr. Lamar would speak
on certain morning, and the supreme court
room was crowded with lawyers and many
ladies, the elite Of the city. Prentiss, nor Holt
nor any OF the long list OF illustrious Mississippi
orators had ever been complimented by such an
audience in the supreme court room, and Lamar
appreciated the homage
ne made spread-eagla speech-one OF the
greatest efforts OF his life-and it was declared
at the time during the era of Dolly Warden, to
be the finest piece OF oratory ever heard ia the
supreme court room of the state
Judge Wiley P. Harris was the opposing
counsel He was the greatest lawyer of his
day, enjoying, perhaps, the most lucrative
practice of any other disciple of Blackstone in
the state. At the conclusion Of Mr. LaInar's
great speech Judge Harris went up to the clerk
and said:
II want you TO inform the court that don't
want any OF this = Dolly Warden speaking
In mine, and with that he left the room.
This deliverance was repeated to Mr. Lamar
IL angered as well as mortified him very deeply
and It was many years before he forgave Jud qe
Harris for what he considered the greatest un-
avenged insult ever offered him, and it is more
than probable that till his dying day he never
forgot the incident.
