at - cents is greatly against the fu-
ture price of cotton. Why? Because
many an outside operator that is will
ing to take chance on either side, is
told that the cotton has been very
much lower, and if the market is at
any reasonable price, will also be told
that it is above the average and will
sell. The simple fact that every spec
ulator has an idea that cotton is dear
at 10 cents, causes everybody to
be willing to sell it short at that
price, and while for years 10 cents
in the South was considered a fair
price, now it is considered much above
the average; but it should not be.
And if you can organize and pull to-
gether, you can have something to say
about the price, as every country is
more or less dependent upon you for
your cotton.
In regard to estimates made and
advice given you in regard to market
ing and holding your crop, in 9 cases
out of 10 the estimator or advice
giver has an interest in the future
market, and his own interest and sell
fishness, in order to make him money,
is his principal object, in his estimate
or advice.
Now my advice to you is to be con-
servative. Don't try and get it all at
once. You have had an advance of
about so per cent. in your spot cotton
from AZ cents TO cents. Don't try to
market it all in few months. Mar
ket it gradually, and you will get a
good average and in case the crop is
worse than the estimates and the mar
ket goes up so as to net you 10 cents,
have your merchant or banker sell at
least a part of your 1897 crop on 10
cents basis, or on a basis that will net
you good profit, say an average from
8 to 10 cents. If your spot cotton this
year goes to 9 or 10 cents, any buyer or
banker should give you an equal price
for next years crop. Why? Because flu
ture contracts run about 6points apart,
and this would amount TO about 70
points, or about $3.50 per bale, less the
cost of transferring, which wouldn't be
over 20 cents per bale per year. The
market might 60 higher; but you
would have your cotton sold at 8 to 10
cents, which is at least fair price and
more than you have been getting.
Why do / advise you to sell your
next crop on basis of 8 to 10 cents?
Simply because it is fair price (might
be and has been worse), and know of
your immense corn crop, as we'll as
knowing the imprudence of many, who,
having made plenty of corn, etc., will
surely plant cotton, not realizing that
100000 or 100000 bales at 10 cents
is more profitable than 10000, 900 at
5 cents. Ifyou were so organized that
you could control the planting, then
you could control the price absolute
ly but am afraid the rather attract
i've price will induce heavy planting,
and before the crop is ready for the
market, the price will likely decline as
the acreage is increased.
Very respectfully,
JOHN T. RoDDEY.

A WomaI,'s Revenge.

A man of the world was wont to call
not infrequently upon a. young widow.
One day the pretty maid at the door an.
nounced that her mistress was out Of
town. On some pretext, however, the
man entered. He also talked to the
maid. Some days later, knowing that
the lady had returned, he called again.
He was a bit surprised when strange
maid met him at the door and showed
him to the little reception room. While
she carried his card up the stairs he re-
fected that she was not SO dainty as her
predecessor, and she was not SO pretty,
though her uniform was similar, and
her cap was as stiff and her apron as
spotless. He was realizing how much
more the woman is to the dress than the
dress is to the woman when the maid
returned and announced promptly:
Mrs. -- is not receiving" The man
of the world bit his lip-it was the first
time no had ever been denied admit
tance-and moved toward the door The
maid held it open for him, and as he
passed through it she blurted out, "And
she says, if you please, sir, the maids
receive in the kitchen, sir. ''-Illustrated

had been sent from Spain to crush the
rebellion, and each had in turn melted
away before the valor Of the rebels or
the deadly climate.
Num- volunteered to accompany me
and 1 gave him $2,O to send his wife
in Paris that his mind might be easy on
that score No one knew my real desti-
nation save Num- and my wife. It was
hard to obtain her consent, but at last it
was given. / arranged with her that she
was to leave Havana as soon as she
knew I was off, cross to Key West, wait
one month there, and if she then heard
nothing Of me she was to telegraph my
sister to meet her in New York, take the
steamer to that city and live with her
until rejoined her.
Among other things Num-, by my Or
ders, procured good maps of the country.
A Spanish gentleman, warm friend,
but whose name will not mention, was
my counselor in the plot He advised
me to 90 to the isle of Pines, as Senior
Andrez had promised to keep me safely

that was my destination. I purposed, as

as we would come we'll armed.
I had given the sentinels in the police

them valuable presents, so was highly

My room was in the second story of the
barracks, but / was allowed to 60 freely

was room leading to an open window,
but the door was kept locked. 1t was
arranged to have it unlocked with the
key on the inside.at 10 o'clock that night
1 was to wall, about as usual, and when
the hour came suddenly step through
the door, lock it behind me and then
bolt through the window into the street
Num- and my friend were to await me
outside Of the window with orders to
shoot any man, not a native, who at
tempted to stop me, as feared Pink
erton or his men might be on guard in
the street, and once in the street | did
not propose to 60 back again alive
The guns and two extra revolvers had
been made into bundle and left at the
station. At nearby room were disguises
for Num- and myself, consisting simply
Of cloaks and whiskers. We intended to

once we'll out Of the station would dis
pense with all disguise but the Spanish

FOREST HILL, October 21.-The
farmers are generally up with their
cotton and many of them are now
gathering corn.
hear no grumbling. The harvest
has been an abundant one, and the
weather has been most propitious for
gathering it.
Cotton crops, as rule, are short
but we have heard of several farmers
around here who will make average
crops. Mr.. Perry Ferguson did not
use pound of commercial fertilizer,
and yet he has gathered 12 bales of
cotton off of 25 acres Of land, and if
this weather continues three weeks
longer he expects to get four bales
more. The frost has not killed his
cotton yet, and there are number of
bolls that will open if we have no
very hard freeze.
The cane crop was good and most
of the farmers, white and colored, have
made enough molasses to do them.
DR.. Campbell made over 800 gallons.
Many persons are still feeding their
hogs and horses on the cane and will
thereby save great deal of corn.
Mrs. J. NJ. Barnett presented me
with a gourd last week the handle of
which is 8 feet long. The seed were
sent here by Mr.. Dick Mason, who was
ut that time chief of police of Char
lotte. An Indian gave him the seed
and he brought them to his mother,
who lives near here. Some of the
handles do not grow more than foot
long. They make excellent water
dippers.
A colored man living on Mr.. J. R.
Cooks place had the misfortune to
have one of his children burnt up on
Thursday last. The parents were in
the field at work, and had left their
two children-one about 2 years old
and the other an infant-with an old
blind colored man in the house. The
chid's clothing caught Oh fire and it
ran back to pile of cotton that had
been stored in the house. The cotton
caught, consuming the house. The
parents succeeded in getting the old
man and the children out; but the
eldest child was so badly burned that
it died in few hours. The Negro lost
everything he had, including about a
half bale of cotton. The charitable
are helping him with clothes and
money.
DR.. Bigger was quite sick for few
DAYS but is now able to attend to his
practice.

The Same, but Different.

Two letters were once addressed to a
certain corps commander Of the Army
of the Potomac OH tho eve Of forward

eral Halleck, chief of the staff, and the
other by President Lincoln. General
Halleck's letter contained warning
couched in this fashion: "In undertak-
ing to place your command on the oppo-
site shore of the Rappahannock you will
exercise extreme caution in affording
full protection to advance, rear and
flanks, in order that the enemy may not
bo encouraged to make all attack while
your forces arc separated III tho act OF
crossing" This was good advice. Lin.
coin gave it to the same commander Ill
tho note which he wrote to him. but
this was the form in which he expressed
it: Look out, when you cross tho river,
that you don't hang yourself up in the
middle like q steer OH fence. neither
able to hook with your horns nor kick
with Your hoofs."

British Cart Horses.

The British cart horses descent can be
traced from the great horse originally
imported from Flanders and Lombardy,
but much improved since those days by
judicious crossing and careful selection
of parents The Stuarts first introduced
quality, but size was wanting, for when
William III assembled tho throne and
sought to drain the Lincolnshire fens
he found that the British cart horse OF
this date was not strong enough for tho
tasks imposed upon him. Consequently
he imported large Dutch horses, the old
Lincolnshire Blacks.
The Dukes Of Ancaster also brought
over to this country similar breeds from
Holland. This was the first step Of any
note which gave an impetus for the i'm
provement of our coarser equine stock
and formed the main root from which
our cart horses have proceeded.
