A. GREAT deals Of late has
been said concerning the is
suance Of bonds by Secretary
Carlisle in time Of peace,
though the amount paid for the
bondSis Of small consequence
when compared with the
money annually expended for
war-ships and improved ar
mament. It 10 not our in
tentiOn to combat the idea
that it 10 necessary for the
United States to possess o
navy sufficient 10 protect it
SELF against the Invasion Of
foreign nations, but when we
take into consideration our
strength on land and that
ne now rank fourth in naval
strength, it does seem that it
is more unWise to continue
appropriations for the build
ing Of other vessels in time
of peace than to sell bonds.
In fact, the unnecessary ex-
psnditurs of money is what
has caused the issuance OF
bonds by the secretary. A
great deal Of such expense is
the natural consequence of
Republican legislation, but
Democracy is now in control,
and is in duty bound to rem
der obsolete all laws that pro-
hibit an economic adlniniStra-
ton Of the government.

or 200 pounds cotton lint.
Hardeman is one Of the southern
tiers of counties, and lies immedi.
ately east of Fayette. Its central
and western portions are generally
level or moderately rolling. The
northern part is more broken, but
includes many level areas. The
eastern and southern portions are
more OF Jess billy, but includes many
good f@rning sections. The coun-
ty is .emarkably well aud symmet-
rica!ly watered. The Big Hatehie
flows diagcnally through it from
the southeastern corner to the north
western, splitting the county into
two triangular sections. Into the
Hatchie, as the main channel, the
numerous tributary creeks, with
courses mostly at right angles to the
river, pour their contents. Thus
the two parts of the county, separ-
ated by the valley of the Hafchie,
are each cut up into sections by the
parellel valley of the creeks. The
streams afford along their borders a
large aggregate of rich alluvial land,
with which, at intervals, stiff craw-
fishy areas occur.
The prevailing upland soil, the
most important in the county, is a
rich, mellow, siliceous loan, warm
and early, resting upon a reddish
yellow, sandy clay, the underlying
formation being the orange sand.
It is found all over the county,
but spreads out most uniformly
in the western and northwestern
parts-psrts which belong to the
area of the highest percentage yield
of cotton. In tie eastern and south
eastern sections of the county, in
addition to lands such as have been
noticed, are others more clayey and
some quite calcareous. These are
based upon the outcrops of forma-
tons below the orange sand.
The growth of the chief soil, the
siliceous loan of the uplands, is in
the more level parts of Hardeman
red, white, and post oaks, hickory,
walnut, wild cherry, dOgwood, red
bad, and in the western part black
jack oak. In the more hilly por-
tions, the southwestern, southern
and northeastern, blackjack and
Spanish oaks and chestnut are found.
The growth of the lowlands is beech,
white and red oaks, sweet and black
gums, poplar, blackberry, red-bud,
cane and others. Areas of yellow
pine occur in the northeastern and
eastern portions. Cypress is met
with along the streams. Shipments
of cotton are made to Memphis at
90 and %. 10 per bale.

THn Chicago Inter Ocean,

THIS Chicago Inter Ocean,
one of the bittersSt papers to-
wards the South that il pub
IlishOd, has taken up its cud-
gel i'm the interest of the Pop
ulitos OF Alabama, known as
the KOlbitos. The interest
manifested by that journal in
the Alabama political contest
10 a manifestation of hatred
and malice that it bears to-
wards Democracy. That pa
per editerially says in refer
enee to the Populites eff Ala
bama, their economic ideas
are not such a. any Republi-
can newspaper can endorse, yet
every wise Republican editor
will advise the Republicans
of Alabama to vote sOlidly
with the 'JeffersonianS' at the
August election and to dis
courage the few self-styled
leaders who seek to put q
straight Republican ticket in
the field" The Inter Ocean,
it seems, does net concur in
the opinion 'that there is
nothing in a NAME" hence
designateS the KolbitsS ~
Jeffersonians, n deceptive ruse
to entrAp the unHuSpscting.
Nor 10 Alabama the only
state wherein & desperate Of
fort will be made to defeat
the organized Democracy.
Wherever there il q hope by
consolidating that will enable
the putting OF black heels
upon white neckR, we may
rest assured that an effort
will be made TO do 30. Though
the representatives of DemOc-
racy in congress may leave
many things undons that they
should have done, it 10 never
thsEeSs . fact, which 10 real
lied by such papers A. the
Inter Ocean, that az long -
the government is controlled |
by Democrats, no legislation
will be enacted that will give
the Africans Of the South
prestige over the CAucasians,
therefore the advice OF the
Inter Ocean to the Republi-
cans of Alabama to support
the Kolbite ticket.

NYaterY Of Do PYramids:

Why the pyramids were built has
always proved to be a perplexing
question. For some reason the
builders of the pyramids of Egypt
appear to have concealed the object
of these structures, and this so sue
cessfully, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle, that not even tradition has
reached us which purports to have
been handed down from the date of
their construction. Including an
cient and modern theories we find a
wide range of choice. Some have
thought that these building were as
ISOLATED with the religion of the
early Egyptians; others have sug-
gested that they were tombs; others
that they combined the purposes of
tombs and temples, that they were
astronomical Observatories, defenses
against the sands of the Great Des-
ert, granaries like those made under
Joseph's direction, or places of re-
sort during excessive overfows of
the Nile, while Aristotle says that
the work was set on foot to keep
the common people well employed
and busy in earning their daily
bread, so that they should have no
leisure for conspiring against their
ruler.
According to the late Prof. Proc
tor none of these ideas is found on
close examination to be tenable as
representing the sole purpose of the
pyramids, and he suggested that
they must have been intende to
serve some useful purpose during
the lifetime of the builder, and that
they were built by each different
king in order that astronomical OBJ
servations might be continued
throughout his life, to determine
his FUTURE, to ascertain what epocbs
were dangerous or propitious for
him and to note such unusual phe-
nomena among the celestial bodies
as seemed to bode, him good or evil
fortune. Astrology is in fact the
keynote of his theory, which is,
perhaps. on the whole, the most sat
isfactory that has been evolved. 1t
has been stated by experts that the
great pyramid could not now be
built at less cost than $I45, 2oO,-

HOW TO RAISE COTTON SUCCESSFULLY.
l like to have the ground properly
bedded reasonably deep with one
horse, bed 30 as to pulverize the
land well, open with a good wood
en- opener, would prefer covering
with light harrow with block be-
hind. ! think on good land the
rows should be 81 feet, atlsast, apart.
Scrape and chop through, be sure
and leave good stand, to stalks
never over 10 inches apart. Dirt
with a small short shovel. I use .
scraper the second time. 1t is of
great importance to keep the mid
dies clean, throw them out as early
IS possibly. If you keep the mid
dies clean close to the cotton, you
can have more time to clean the
row. In drifting the first time have
a careful hand or you may lose
stand. Scrape and dirt twice and
pillow out twice. After my land is
bedded up / don't have any more
deep blowing. / want all my hoe
ing done before the cotton begins to
limb to any extent, after the limbs
begin to lap they are bruised and
broken by hoeing. / usually try
to get through cultivating by the
25th of July. In 1888 l made Al
bales from 80 to go acres; in 1890
made SO bales on the same land, and
in 1891 I made "a bales on about
so acres. WIZ. THOMPSON.
The meeting was then opened for
the discussion of the subjects upon
which papers had been prepared.
We hope that the Farmers Associa-
tions is permanently established and
that the membership will increase
with each recurring year. Farmers
should assemble together occasion
ally, indeed, it is as necessary for
them to do SO as for those engaged
in other pursuits. The meeting ad-
journed subject to the call of the
president. twas thought advisa-
BILE not to have another meeting I'M

UNITED STATES Senator
A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia,
died Mt his residence in Wash
inEton last Monday. He was
in his 10th year ut the time
of his death, and had been
honored to a great degree by
the citizens of his native state
in being selected to fill va
riOus positions Of trust. He
wau a member of the Secs
sion Convention Of Georgia,
and when war was declared
he entered the Confederate
service as captain, but at its
