Nothing is sanctifed, no tract of

gleefully inscribe their historical
names in the Holy of Holes, together
with the date, and their addresses in
Peckham Rye, Brixton, or elsewhere.
But while denying such as these the
satisfaction of their names in print. we
may copy the actual memorial. Thus

discovered in 1853 by the Spaniard

than sort of headquarters for the
bold buccaneers who roamed all the
Pacific over. Juan Fernandez passed

until 1885 her new owner used the islet

Excessive Cotton Planting.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 30, 1893.
Having expended all efforts that | was ca
pahle toward procuring a convention of cot
ton farmers to discuss the conditions that
present themselves, and that goes plainly to
show that a great increase in the acreage OF
cotton is imminent this season, | am obliged
to abandon the same and resort to other
measures, and | respectfully appeal to the
press for their assistance in securing the
Contamination so d~evoutly to be wished." to
wit: The holding of the production within
the bounds of consumption.
The sale of fertilizer tags for this season in
dicates a large increase. Disaster is obliged
to follow. History goes to show that an ex-
cess of supply over the demand gives the
buyer the vantage of making prices. When
the consumption exceeds the production it is
a scramble with them to obtain the product
otherwise it is a fight with the farmers to OBJ
tain anything like a price. NY desire is to
call the careful consideration of the cotton
farmers to this important matter. Prompt
action is necessary to prevent the planting of
excessive csop. Resseetfully,
HECTOR D.. LANE.

It is perfectly apparent that, unless some
means shall be found by which pension ex-
penditures may be curtailed by cutting out
the fraud and Topping off the undeseryers,
new sources of revenue must be found.

Though the war Of 1879 has been over
eighty years there are still 165 survivors of
that struggle living. The success of those
old soldiers in marrying pretty young girls is
shown by the fact that 665l left widows who
still live and draw pensions. If this proportion
should hold true the year 1910 will see 100, 900
widows drawing pensions on account of the
civil war.-Ex.
