There is not only possibility, but a
probability, that South Carolina will be
represented in the next House by two
anti-democratic congressman instead OF
one, as in the present congress. The last
legislature gerrymandered Charleston
into black district. presumably to punish
the city for the sin of refusing to swal-
low Tillmanism, and so cut up another
district that the prospect of republican
success, in the absence of a. united democ-
racy, is very good. The threatened dis
tricts are the First (Orangeburg) and the
Seventh charleston, and the prospects
are that T. B. Johnson, white republican,
and G. W. Murray, black republican, will
give the democrats their closest race
since reconstruction. If, indeed, the re-
pubhcans do not win.

In pursuance of his regular duty as an

Interesting Ideas on Cotton Growing.
An interesting discussion Of the present
and future OF cotton planting north of
Mississippi is being carried on by several
prominent North Carolina and Virginia
gentlemen, prominent among them being
Associate Justice Walter Clark of the
North Carolina supreme court. Justice
Clark is an experienced cotton planter.
hence his views are those of a man we'll
Informed on his subject
In a recently written elaborate paper
Justice Clark advises Carolina planters to
abandon cotton for more profitable crops.
He sees, no prospect for the price OF cotton
to advance. The new area added every
year in Texas will continually overbalance
the worlds increased consumption; then
there is the steadily increasing production
of India, Egypt. Brazil and Mexico to be
considered. In Mexico the plant lives
eight years, and produces two crops a
year. Production there has been limited
by want of railroad facilities. These IA
cilities, and reliable labor, are being pro-
vided. ITO compete with a country which
can produce sixteen crops of cotton from
one planting is like using a muzzle-loader
against a sixteen-shooter," says Justice
Clark. Because of the short season, the
competition of Texas, Mexico, and other
more favored sections, and because of
other reasons enumerated. the justice de
clares that in North Carolina cotton is
doomed to disappear as a market crop.
Re nd
substitutes.
On the other hand there are several
well informed men who differ with Jus
tice Clark. They contend that there is
still money to be made out of cotton in
the Carolinas, even II the yield is less
than a bale to the acre, and the price
So cents pound. The line of argument
used is this, according to a planter,
quoted by the Raleigh correspondent of
the New York Post: TT is not so very
long since We got cents for our lint cot
ton. Then we threw away the Seed, for
which we now receive 315 cents for every
pound Of lint cotton we raise. This, added
to the 5IA cents for the lint, makes cents
which We are really getting for our cot
ton-and for those cents we can purchase
nearly twice as much Of the necessaries
of life as we could before" The old pol
icy of raising cotton for the lint only has
passed away, and the planter is better Off
As to the perennial cotton plants of Mex
leo and other tropical countries, they pro
duce a fiber that deteriorates with each
season, growing shorter and weaker, while
the fiber of the American annual is always
long and fine. 1t is the young plant that
produces the elastic fiber from which is
spun the thread from which lace and
the finer cotton goods are manufactured.
The real gauge of the cost of the crop
is the picking, and geniuses are at work
to reduce that cost to a minimum.

The New York Journal of Commerce
calls attention to the interesting fact that
the cotton crop of this year, should it
amount to 100000 bales of 400 pounds,
would realize approximately the value
of last years crop. The product of the
new crop is now selling for about 5ai
cents, which, if the expectations of sup
ply are realized, would make the value
about $256,OO0OOO. The yield of 1898 is
estimated by the authorities at 100000
bales. That crop realized an average price
of about cents, which would make the
value about $3.50 600, goo.
