For several years the southern agricul-
tural papers and experiment stations
have been urcing ag,iculturists to raise
less cotton and more corn and pork. Any
portion Of The south is favorable for the
production Of grain, vegetables and al
most every kind of fruit. BY raising
food products and not putting everything
into cotton the planter would not be
obliged to go into debt foi what he ate.
ind the price of cotton would he higher
besides. This advice begins to be taken.
Less cotton viii be grown in the south
this year, and there will be large and va
ried crops OF other things.

Bradstreets' of Saturday say :
There are indications of a moderate
improvement in various lines of bus
mess, and enough instances to make
the fact of some significance. A no.
tably favorable feature is the practi-
cal ending ofithe coke and coal strikes,
together with those in related indus
tries which will put to work at once,
or soon, more than 100000. The
number of employees in industrial
lines still on strike is estimated al
about 10000.

the ballot last night.
He said that altogether about 10 ballots were
taken. On the first ballot there were six for
conviction. four for acauittal, and two blank.
These last we're cast by jurors who had not had
time to make up their minds.
After two hours Of deliberatlon they decided
for conviction. so that the result OF the second
ballot was for conviction. and for Rcdult-
tal They took one or two ballots m ore before
a change was recorded.
Then the vote was ~ for conviction and for
