A Warning to Cotton Planters,

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-The Hon.
Hector D. Lane, of Alabama, president OF
the American Cotton Growers Protective
Association, has furnished the following
sie,nificant memorandum for publication
to the people of the South:
fIt goes without saying that if anything
like three-cent cotton on plantations is
witnessed next year general crash WILL
ensue. Real estate and securities OF all
kinds will reach such level in the South
as few can imagine: :,
european Spectators are to-day SELL
ing cotton in Liverpool for delivery IN
October, Novemb Der and Decemb Der, 1885,
at price equivalent TO about 4 cents on
farms in the South, for middling, or B
cents at the ports, believing that another
9,5OO,000 or larger crop will be grown IN
America, which would insure them q
profit of at least cent per pound, which
would mean to the farmer about cents
at the railroad stations next autumn
when cotton is moving in large volumes.
Il is not to be supposed that these shrewd
European cotton people are aggressively
selling the next crop at equal to cents
unless they have excellent reasons for
believing that the South will plant for
another monster crop.
"They are confident, on information
furnished them, that Texas will not de-
crease its acreage, therefore believing
this to be true to such en- extent that they
will be able to buy back during next fall
the cotton they are now selling at much
lower prices, realizing thereby handsome
profits.
at remains with the farmers and mer-
chants of the South to say whether these
European spectators will be permitted
to reap golden harvest at the expense
of the farms, plantations. towns, real
estate and securities of the South.
"The above statement Is from me OFF,
cinlly, and desire that it should be pre-
sented to the public as such through the
press. "HECToR D. LANE,
"President Cotton Growers Protective
a AssociatiOn.''

Call the State Alliance!

The State Farmers Alliance is likely
to be in session in Columbia in about
fortnight to consider what The farmers of
the State bad best do to better their con-
dition and do battle with the 5 cent cot
ton situation. The ball has started and
it will doubtless gather momentum as it
rolls until the unusual sight will be wit
messed of the calling of the organization
together at this time of the year. The
fertilizer problem is one of the main
springs which is actuating the Alliance
men.
A gentleman who arrived in the city
from New berry yesterday evening brings
the intelligence that the Alliance Of that
county met yes tsrday morning to discuss
the situation. After talking the matter
over the Alliance unanimously adopted
resolutions offered by the Rev. j. A.
sligh, asking the president OF the State
Alliance to i'm mediately call meeting OF
that organization, to be held in Colum bia
on the third Tuesday in this month to
consider the condition of the farming
classes, devise some uniform plan for
helping the situation, decide what shall
be done about the purchase Of fertilizers,
and see if cheaper rates cannot be secured.
Acting upon the feeling Of assurance
that the meeting would be called, the
Newberry Alliance elected as it's dele
gates to the meeting the Rev. j. A. Sigh
and Jos. J.. Keitt.
This action will doubtless be taken up
by other County Alliances at once. 1t
has been precipitated, no doubt, by the
action Of the railroad commission in de-
clining to reduce the fertilizer rate.
The commission is meantime request
ing all railroads, merchants and fertilizer
com panies to file with it by next week q
schedule of proposed fertilizer rates for
next year. Columbia State, Feb. 2.

Senator Browns School Days.

In the brief autobiography Of Senator
Joseph E. Brown, published by you,
some interesting events of his lite here
were modestly left out by him Among
them was joining the Baptist Church
while at school at Calhoun and his bap-
tism by the Rev. C. P. Dean. The night
after his baptism he attracted much at
tention by his fervent and beautiful
prayer.
Soon after this he met in debate hard
shell preacher named Musgrove, who
was opposed TO temperance societies, and
challenged the world to meet him on the
question. The late Judge j. p. Reed
carried him to the meeting in his carriage
to old Dorchester Church, near Bolton,
apd enjoyed greatly the adroit manner in
which he handled his adversary. He
came out the victor. Doubtless his pious
and temperate life had much to do with
his triumphs and success in after years.
From the Calhoun Academy he went
to that Of the late Wesley Leverett, in the
suburbs Of the city of Anderson. He
boarded at the late Capt John McFalPs
and remained here nearly two years.
The Rev. B. F. Mauldin gave him let
ter of introduction and recommendation
to DIR. John w. Lewis when he went to
Canon. The Rev. Mr.. Mauldin per-
formed the ceremony on his marriage
with Miss Gresham. In after years the
Senator sent his younger brothers to Mr..
Leverett's school, and ono of them, Judge
James r. Brown, of Canton, Ga, subse-
quently married daughter OF DR.. Lewis.
In the Doctors old age the son-in-law
became his 6nancier and that Of his fami-
ly after his death. Another brother, the
late DR.. W. G. BrowD, Of Bolton, S. c.,
married daughter Of the Rev. G. P.
Dean, above mentioned, and became his
inancier and that of his family after his
death.-Joseph N. Broa0n, in KeoDee Re-

A Profit on Five.cent Cotton.

RALEIGH, N. c., January 2s.-One OF
the class of Southern farmers who MAIN
tain that cotton can be raiaed in the Car
olinas at five cents a pound was here
Yesterday and furnished this illustration
in support ofthe claim. Said he: "Major
A. Fl. White, who lives near Rock Hill,
8. c., like myself, believes that there is
money to be made by raising cotton in
this country at five cents q pound, and
he has just demonstrated the tact. Last
season he cultivated twelve acres OF land
in cotton-cultivated, say, and did not
halfway cultivate it as most of US have
been dUing-and from that twelve acres
he harvested twenty-one bales averaging
1852 pounds each. He has just sold it for
4.SO cents a pound, the price middling
cotton was bringing that day-and he
therefore received $455.6l. He says the
total expense incurred in cultivating it
was less than 5000, 30 the remainder is
net rrofit. When the farmers Of the cot
ton States thoroughly catch on to the
intense farming idea am satisfied that
the staple can be grown generally, on
most Of the land now used for that pur-
pose, at profit, at five cents per pound

The ManuJactnrers' Record says-the
country will enter upon the next crop
year with very smsll stock Of corn on
hand $50 small, indeed, that even should
we have another 100000, 600 -bushel
crop, as in 1891, itwould require all of this
enormous yield to make up for the def-
cheney OF the last two years. Even should
such q crop as this be produced, prices
would probably still be high, because of
j the decrease in 1894. Another small crop
following the one OF last year would
necessarily mean exorbitant prices for
corn. Because Of these facts it becomes
more imperative than ever before that
the South should increase its corn acreage
this year. The South's large crop last
year was due more 20 heavy yield per
acre than to q large increase in acreage.
fthis section is to maintain its indepen-
dence of the West 80 far as corn is &C /.
4cerned, every effort should be made to
nrge upon farmers the importance Of
planting larger acreage this year than
ever before. With big corn crop the
South is better prepared to stand low
priced cotton than it could iu any other
way.

Another Enemy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture is engaged in the
investigation Of the cotton boil wevil,
destructive species of which has recently
been introduced into Southern Texas
from Mexico. The insect is practically
new to etomologists, though it has been
found that thirty years ago it caused the
abandonment of cotton culture around
Monclovet, Mexico. Texas cotton plan
ters observed its work in their fields for
the first time last summer and specimens
were sent to the Department OF Agrlcul-
ture for investigation. An expert was
sent into the field under the direction Of
the etomologist. Or. L. O. Howard, and
remained through the fall and early win
ter months, carefully studying the habits
of the insect.
A district about 6,OOO square miles is
now infested. The insect bores into the
cotton boil and ruins the fiber and the
seed. In some instances during the past
sumner, it has caused loss Of from SO
to 80 per cent. Of the crop. It spreads
rather slowly by flight, but is apt to be
carried into new regions in cotton brought
from the infested fields to the somewhat

The Cotton COnundrum.

Correspondents from all over the State
have been noting the fact that the farmers
are not buying as heavily Of fertilizers
this season as they usually do. These
reports have come from beyond the bor-
ders Of South Carolina and suggest that
the farmers throughout the South are
cutting down in their consumption OF
fertilizer. Exactly to what extent this
will 20 cannot be predicted yet awhile,
as the season has but well started, and
the future purchases may more than
make up for the present deficiency. Peo-
pie who are not conversant with the facts
say that there has been an increase in the
movement recently, and this develop
ment may attain such proportions during
February that what has been lost will be
regained.
This, however, is q matter which will
only be settled with the progress Of the
season. The facts Of the case seem to be
at the present time that the movement
has been unusually light up to the pres
ent time. The movement Of fertilizers
out of Charleston gets we'll started in
January, and by the close of this month
enormous shipments are being made
daily. A gentleman who is in position
to know what he Is talking about said
yesterday that at the present time the
movement was not more than third Of
what it usually is at this season Of the
year. According to his figuring the de-
crease has been remarkable one. He
said he had heard it stated upon good
authority that one railroad in the city
alone took about 1900 carloads behind
what it had handled up to the same date
last year.
He went on to estimate that this repre-
sented, at ten tons to the car, $4,000 tons
of fertilizers. Allowing 200 pounds of
fertilizer to the acre this represented
100000 acres of cotton land that would
either not be planted this year, or would
be planted without fertilizers. What
would be the decreased yield in conse-
ouence could not be 80 accurately estl-
mated, but it would amount to pretty
round number when figured out in bales.
Discussing the matter still further the
same gentleman said that he had made
some inquiries into the subject, and he
found that Charleston's experience was
not an exceptional enc, on the contrary
so far as he had been able to ascertain the
same ratio of decrease was observable in
all of the important fertilizer producing
centres. How long this would last no
one could say. The season is just begin
ming, and there is yet ample time in
which to regain the lost ground, but
many people do not believe that the ship
ments this year will be nearly 80 large as
those Of last. There was an enormc us
movement in 1898, but last season showed
a considerable decline, so that it is not
improbable that this will follow suit

H0W's TRADE !?

OUR trade is good, thank you. In

uncommon answer, you say. So be-

Would you you know the cause?

The figures that competition cannot

figure that they don't how to make.
Hence you often see idle clerks around
other doors while the Ten Cents Store

Customers ever go off unwaited on?
Well, yes. There are times when we
can't wait on all. At such times We
have to do the best we can, and ask
our customers to kindly have patience

Do they wait on your Yes, {

to go out. An old customer says it
is poor policy to pay FIVE cents extra,
and save only one cents worth Of

true about holiday goods. However,
we always do the very best we can to

Why don't you get a larger house

everything out of the way as you goF
In that case we should be at such
expense that we would have to in

At the outset the street car strikers in
Brooklyn, N. Y, had the sympathy Of
the public. It was conceded that their
pay was inadequate for the work per-
formed, and that strike was justifiable,
IL eyer. But when they began to beat
innocent men who were willing to work
to keep tho wolf from their homes, to
destroy property, and to trample on the
law the case became different. It may be
said that strike cannot be successful
unless such things are resorted to, but
this is untrue. No strike has ever sue
ceeded in this country, when those who
engaged in it resorted to riot and murder
TO gain their point. And the Brooklyn
strike ends like all the stthat have been
managed in the same wsy-in the dis
